i have contacts again. it feels wonderful to not have to mess with glasses. i dont mind them, but they aren't always easy.

i love this:
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.

Cold Tangerines

I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings, and pop cans, and errands, and receipts, and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines, and sing loud in the car with the windows open, and wear pink shoes, and stay up all night laughing, and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets, and throw parties, and eat ripe tomatoes, and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my every day to make God belly laugh, glad that He gave life to someone who appreciates the gift.
~Shauna Niequist

john 3:30

He must become greater; I must become less

Galatians 5:1

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

About Me

August Herrema
United States
This is not a diary, journal, a place to find deep, intelligent thoughts. Merely a recording of events which I wish to remember, with an occasional picture thrown in. Through the hum-drum of life, experieces arise. Experiences which, when compiled, make up my existence! A life which in the confusion of summer finds employment as nanny, and the rest of the year, as a student. I attend Providence Christian college, where I seek to learn more about my God, myself, and my profession- which is education. Shalom.

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box, when there is evidence that there is thinking going on inside it.
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them well.
Never waste a minute of your precious life by squandering it thinking about people you don't like
One day you life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching
Life is the art of drawing without an eraser
Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live

quote

deep summer is when laziness finds respectability
Don't worry about life, you're not going to survive it anyway.

“One day at a time--this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.”

day by day

I live a simple life,
I take a day at a time
I spend my mornings with God
before I hit the grind

The subtleties of darkness
never cease to amaze
As a physical world
creates a spiritual haze

Blinded by distractions
Lost in matterless affairs
Reaching through the darkness
Trusting you will meet me there

(chorus)Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear lord, three things I pray [one, two, three]
To see thee more clearly [day by day]
To love thee more dearly [day by day]
To follow thee more nearly [i got to take it]
Day by day

Charles R. Swindoll

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

psalm 121

3 He will not let your foot slip he who watches over you will not slumber;4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.5 The LORD watches over you the LORD is your shade at your right hand;6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.7 The LORD will keep you from all harm he will watch over your life;8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.3 He will not let your foot slip he who watches over you will not slumber;4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.5 The LORD watches over you the LORD is your shade at your right hand;6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.7 The LORD will keep you from all harm he will watch over your life;8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
