(no subject)
yay I love Brand New. So freaking good. Still a little hard to listen to...
Things are nice. Brie did Kim's hair tonight and it looks amaaaaaaaaazing. She cut into mine too. Yay. Church tomorrow morning. Yay. Work on Monday= boo. I love you guys. I'm still sick... and I'm a little extra contemplative this week. Just analyzing things, I guess... perhaps a little sensitive too. Overly serious in a way. Not sure why. Just want to have things figured out and stay on God's track, maybe. Or maybe I'm selfish and just wanna know what's going on. I don't understand people sometimes. Like... some people especially. I don't know how one person can be so confusing to where you don't understand any of their intentions at all. It's kind of annoying... but I try not to think about it.

"I thought i did what's right
I thought i had the answer
I thought i chose the surest road
But that road led me here
So i put up a fight
And told You how to help me
And just when i had given up
The truth is coming clear
Chorus
For You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go, the need to know why
Cause You know better than I
If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowin', I don't know
Is part of gettin through
I try to do what's best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my faith in You..."
