(no subject)
today has been an epic day for me, a milestone of sorts. i set out with my sister to buy travel insurance and i came back with a hula hoop.
that's right, a hula hoop.
so guess what i've been doing all day?
HULA HOOPING!!!!!
i figure it's good for my gut, dontcha think? besides being the best invention of man thus far, i'm sure it does a mighty number on the abs.
hee hee!
......................
do you know one major thing i miss about victoria? yes, i miss the people and church and things, but i know they'll be there when i get back (..do you feel underappreciated?...i'm a punk, i know...). i miss the beaches. i miss swimming. this, friends, cannot be done all year long and this i know i am missing right now. and oh, my poor heart!
(background info, i just learned what it is to appreciate swimming and sunshine and beaches last summer. it's all relatively new to me).
so, yesterday, i said, ENOUGH! and drove the hour and a half to the nearest lake, Allooet Lake. i went by myself and swam right when i got there, once i had found a secluded little segment of beachlife. i dont like to be near the populated areas. for me, swimming is a personal matter... no public viewing necessary. so, anyway, i swam, mmmmmmm.... and read a lovely book. and i had the most wonderful time of prayer and meditation that i have had in a long while. up in the mountain lake, surrounded by forested peeks... such a beautiful place.

i want to know more about my Jesus. i am still so young, i feel like i have everything to learn. i forget faster than i learn. and i put so much, sooo much, into what people think of me. i'll feel lonely and rejected in a second if i think someone doesnt like me or has forgotten about me. isnt that silly? i want, i need, to know the Love of my Savior more. much more. so much more, it is all i need to know because all else pales in comparison. far worse, even, than to pale, everything else is death in comparison. everything, but the Love of my God, because the Love of God brings life.
"I COME SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT TO THE FULLEST", Jesus said.
i wonder what that looks like.
i want to see it.
i desparately want to see it.
that's right, a hula hoop.
