"Whatever course you decide upon,

there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson



Lately I am holding strong to this quote; My knuckles are starting to turn white and my blue veins are starting to protrude. I want so desperately to start the next chapter of my life. I know I will get there because I have to. It will come because life moves on.

I don't know what it has in store; I don't know who I will meet or where I will be living. I do know I want to get there now.

Still here

Just day dreaming...

Cowboys...

MMmmm...
Sorry about that, Leslie, snap out of it!

Oh boy, I have recently stumbled upon this absolutely wonderful blog. On it, a captivating story that I read for two days straight and when I wasn't in front of my computer, I was replaying it in my mind...

I thought I would share it here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/blog/category/black_heelstractor_wheels/the_night_i_met_marlboro_man

While I was entangled in this rugged love story, I would find that I needed to remind myself to breathe, to breathe.

I do not know, but of one other story that has done this to me.

And with that I leave you to read on...

Bah.Hum.Bug

When you have to close yourself off to the world because of a deadline (for me, it is school), why is it those times people want more from you??? Frus.tra.tion!

Ever wonder...

What would happen if we treated our bible like we treat our cell phones? What if we carried it around in our purse or pocket? What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we turned back to get it if we forgot it? What if we used it to receive messages from the text? What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it? What if we gave it to kids as gifts? What if we used it when we traveled? What if we used it in case of an emergency? This is something to make you go...hmmm. Where is my bible? And unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill...

This is my moment on the mountain...
