GOD is good. I am so incredibly blessed to have the job I do. I love those people and all the people and there is so much laughter and craziness. I’m moving things to a friends apartment tomorrow :) HI, ELLA!! Working with my favs some more this week and then leaving for CHI and then LOS ANGELES on Thursday :) Oh and today I found some job openings that are related to things I would like to do :) Thank you, Jesus. Today’s encouragement was much needed.

You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You don’t like cottage cheese, so you haven’t eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don’t kid yourself: it’s also the flinch.
Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but it’s really just a habit. Thirty days without it, and you would be fine. You think you have a soul mate, but in fact you could have had any number of spouses. You would have evolved differently, but been just as happy.
You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can’t write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that’s really not you. It’s not ingrained. It’s not your personality. Your personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like.
If it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. Sometimes, it’s the only way.
Set fire to your old self. It’s not needed here. It’s too busy shopping, gossiping about others, and watching days go by and asking why you haven’t gotten as far as you’d like. This old self will die and be forgotten by all but family, and replaced by someone who makes a difference.
Your new self is not like that. Your new self is the Great Chicago Fire—overwhelming, overpowering, and destroying everything that isn’t necessary.

every single person you know has something in their life and past that is probably worth collapsing to the ground in an uncontrollably sobbing heap over, so be nice to each other and tell good jokes

$2,808 in SCA SCHOLARSHIPS!
I am dying right now. Our HS show choir choreographer, Kevin Chase, decided to perform in a song at our show choirs final shows this weekend. He did this to get audience donations that would go towards providing scholarships to send students to SCA this summer. He then said that he would match the amount the audience donated. The audience donated… $1,404.00. SO HE MATCHED IT AND THE TOTAL IS $2,808.00 for SCHOLARSHIPS TO SEND BL. KENNEDY STUDENTS TO SHOWCHOIR CAMPS OF AMERICA. There are no words for how thankful I am that this man somehow found his way into our show choir program. I
" You know, the Bible doesn’t teach us to be defensive in relationships. It doesn’t tell us to protect your heart and be extra cautious ‘cause you don’t know who’s going to betray you, who’s going to leave you, no it doesn’t say anything like that, it just says love. And it says love always trusts. And it always tells us to forgive; forgive means they’re going to wrong you first and then you’re gonna forgive. And then go back up and trust again. That’s what the Bible says about our relationships. It never says, ‘No, close your heart ‘cause you’re going to get hurt. Be protective. Protect your own heart.’ No, it never says that. It says, ’Get hurt, I will heal you, I’ll restore things, reconciliation is for you, and then get back up and love again. Trust again. Go belong to that group again.’ That’s how the word of God teaches us. "

" But there’s a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. "
“It sucks, but it doesn’t.”
Love you forever, homeboy, but at some point we (that means you) are going to need to decide what you want. Honestly, I’m on the verge of throwing up the white flag because I can’t even fathom the thought of wedging into the perfect little fairy tale that is your love life at the moment.
“I’m a black kid. Try to teach me about slavery without me feeling resentment towards white people.”

*tour guide voice* Ladies and gentlemen, if you’ll look at your dash, you’ll be able to see, in real time, an entire fandom self destructing.
" Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us until we believe God is more to be desired than life itself. "
