day 2 - hopefully this becomes a habit

 I have time until noon right now so i decided to go to Starbucks and get my work done. I sat down, opened my laptop and stopped to find myself people watching. It was such a peaceful four seconds that I actually moved to the window so It would look a lot more natural to stare at people rather than in the middle of the cafe, staring off into the distance. I like to try to figure people's backstories based off of what they're wearing. Look into who they're meeting, where they're going, or just what vibe they have in the moment. I found it remarkably peaceful. There is this guy that rides the roller blades to class every day and he always has on this groovy hat and earbuds. He has such a whimsical way of transporting himself. He quite literally dances his way from class to class and doesn't give a crap about other people judging him. I swear it's like a main character in a dream. On another note, I did not want to get out of bed this morning; much less wake up. My mind was stuck on the most possible dark place it could go to that I laid in bed and took out my bible to try to ease the pain. It helped a little bit. At least it helped me get the energy to get out of bed. I didn't want to leave so i just took my bible with me to school. I'm gonna read it now.

Things I know to be true

 Today is a rainy day and I am finding it especially hard to stay positive. As a counter-attack to negative thoughts, I have decided to make a list of things that make me happy in order to practice gratuity in the lows. 1) I love movies that remind me of my childhood ( The Holiday, Forrest Gump, About Time, Grown ups) 2) I love the way listening to movie scores make me feel.  3) I love it when the Lord speaks to me and when I feel His presence.  4) I love when I rant to my parents and they listen and give sound advice (which is all the time) 5) I love playing tennis with my family 6) I love playing games with my family. 7) I love watching my parents drink Mate on the front porch in the afternoon 8) I love watching my dad making my mom laugh 9) I love my dog Maggie, I love watching her sunbathe and get exited to get in the car with me 10) I love it when Luka my brother comes in my room and tells me the tea that goes on in his life.  11) I love getting a good parking s...

Day 46

On this beautiful Saturday morning I am currently sitting at a Starbucks about to go to work. My coffee tastes exactly as it should and I had a somewhat productive prayer in the car. I woke up at 6:30 because a bunch of guys were working on our roof. I made my bed, did my devotional, put makeup on, all by 8 a.m this morning, I also made myself a delicious coffee this morning so this second coffee feels almost unnecessary. However, it made my morning. Today I have work like every Saturday, (I quit my job so I am learning to love every moment until I leave). Then there is is this workshop for remnant teen talent, I am praying for my dancers. Then the cherry on top of the whole day is the Barbie party I will be attending tonight. I have been looking forward to this day since I was invited. Although I will look nothing like a barbie I am exited to wear my purple pants. I want to get into the habit of writing out all of the things that make me happy in avoidance of the heaviness I have been...

October

 Today I watched the first episode of the Chosen season 2 and I cried again. It is a blessing to view how good the lord was to people who felt like they didn't deserve it, and in my book none of us deserve it. But he does, because he loves. Yesterday I was coming home exhausted out of my mind and wanted to watch a movie, but I can't because I'm fasting. I respected the fast and watched the chosen, and I am so glad I did. Not only did I get a good night's rest, but I went to sleep EARLY, which isn't a common occurrence. That was a true blessing. I am writing this as a reminder for me to not fall into the temptation of watching movies, this is the important part. Keep fighting it. There is something coming. Soph West Side Story
