I've learned that I have a very strong quitter's instinct. Things get hard, I want to quit. It isn't working out how I want, I want to quit. I tried and failed, I want to quit. Whatever happened to try, try again?? I'm fighting and overcoming that urge in me to flee.

Spring break is almost up. I didn't get done nearly as much as I had wanted. However, I got some quality relax time in so that is good. I'm ready for this semester to be over. I'm trying not to be burned (or is it burnt?) out.

McKenna wants me to share with all of my friends at the Shack that when an animal hibernates it means it is really sleepy. What a bright kid. She still bites though.

I tried that running thing again this past week. Its still not for me.

I hate the feeling of being burdened. It is so overwhelming at times. But its good how it causes me to intercede. I'm sorry that I haven't been praying for you like I should be.

I desire unity.

i just want to be healed. completly. Fix me, Sweet Savior

let's sail away

My mind has been under attack a lot the past few days. I've been trying to fight with truth but sometimes confusion sets in so that i'm not completly sure what's true. But I will think about what is good. what is holy. what i know to be true. Battles of the mind can be so tricky sometimes but there is victory over the enemy!!

This morning I woke up craving pizza, good pizza. I ate a mug of Raisin Bran instead.

A boy in the 4th grade was afraid to stay after school with his teachers to get caught up on work. He said his mom "would expect sumtin." He wouldn't clarify what she would expect. My eyes filled with tears as the teachers talked about suspicion of beatings.

i hate how cruel this world can be.

let’s sail away like a photograph, fading to all white
it’s finally all right
forget all the mistakes my love
they won’t be made again
leave the photos in the drawer, my love
we no longer need them
we both know where we’ve been
