Summer Flowers

For those who know anything about me, they know that I absolutely love flowers. There's something about their delicate nature that is so fragile and beautiful. So many different colors, shapes, smells, and they are all so astounding in their own way. They've each been created so perfectly. It reminds me a little bit of humans. We're all so beautiful. So different. Each person has been created so perfectly and with such beauty that it really takes my breath away. Like flowers, there are some people that make you less happy than others. Not all flowers are my favorites. But there is no doubt that the flower that I might like a bit less because of its smell or color or design, someone else loves that flower so much. I'm not talking about God as the someone else. I really think that in this world, every single human being is loved by someone. Was loved, will be loved, no matter, but at a given time, every person is loved by another person.

Its so beautiful. Our amazing Creator made thousands of different kinds of flowers to satisfy all the different personalities. But humans compared to flowers are a million times more beautiful. There is no human being that is exactly similar to another one. When someone says, "you're one of a kind", you really are because there never has been, and never will be someone exactly like you. You are the only person to ever exist with your exact genes, personality, features, and life. The only person in the ENTIRE history of the world! I don't know about you, but that makes me a bit awe-struck.

That is just how amazing my Creator is. He is the Artist of all artists. His creations are so unique, so perfectly designed and beautiful. ALL of his creations are. Flowers remind me of that. They're so different. Each has been created with such precision to serve specific purposes. If you are the only human being to ever exist with you specific personalities that means that there is something that only you can do! God gave you a purpose that only you can fulfill because only you have been given those specific traits. Kinda makes you try to live for Jesus a little more.

The warm setting sun, bright evening chirping of birds, the delicate sweet smell of the myriad of roses, daisies, honeysuckle and so many other flowers all soothes the soul. The faded dark brown of the porch, the cheerful yellow of the porch swing, and the evening sounds of cars driving home, people walking and talking, all of this is so daily and so familiar. But what really ties all of these parts together is this inner peace. Only Jesus can give this peace where you can just sit outside calmly and thank Him for sending you moments like these where you can just enjoy His wonderful creation. Our God truly is the one and only. Only Jesus can give you the peace, the love that overcomes everything. Its so beautiful and these summer flowers only serve to remind me of God's amazing love.

A Brand New Start

This should be a dedication post. Something about high school and how great its been and how time flies. But its not gonna be a dedication. Full time PSEO (or mostly full time right now). Two jobs. An amazing sweetheart. College. Life is moving on! I'm finally not going to be oppressed with the schedule of high school. If my math skills improve a bit, I might never even have to step into a high school again. This is so exciting, there are no words to describe my level of happiness! It was so hard in school to attempt at fitting in with a world that seemed so immature! They live in their own bubble unaware that there is another world out there. They seem to be unaware of the fact that they are not the center of the universe. Not all of them. There are some wonderful people and teachers there but mostly, it makes me smile to think that I'm moving on to the adult world and they are stuck in high school.

There's times in your life where you know something big is going to happen but you don't know what. But you feel it! Its this anticipation, yet hesitation and its all so wonderful! I feel like my life is being to change in a new direction. I admit, its a bit frighting but im so excited for life. God has been teaching me so so many things! Things about love and patience and just life in general! Its hard to describe but life has so much to offer! There is so much potential in everyone if only they would take the time to use it!

I do get a bit lonely at times but what can you do. It happens. But overall, I have so much more independence! I can do things that matter! Because back in high school, I didn't really feel like what I was doing mattered but now, college, work....it matters! In half a year, I'll be an official adult. I still feel like a little girl sometimes. But nope, this is all for real. I know I say this alot, but God really is good. I've been thinking about what if God wasn't real. And everything that I've been basing my life on is wrong. Biology class sure seems compelling sometimes. But its the peace. Its the peace in your heart that can't lie. You know that God is there. There's more to that than just knowing, there is fact but for ordinary people like me, we need peace.

We take life by faith. Faith that the sun will rise in the morning. Faith that the love of your life will remain the love of your life. Faith that your car will get you places and faith that your body won't just shut down. Everything we do is based on faith. So if someone says its wrong to live by faith...well good luck! Theres a pretty expansive unknown world out there. And I'm heading into it. But I'm not alone :) I'm walking by faith, and that will get me to where I want to go. Meanwhile, I'm just gonna enjoy every moment of my life. Even the ones that aren't the best! Because I've been giving a brand new start!
