february days

i feel like i've done so much thinking lately. about who i am and what i should be doing with my life and where God really wants this girl and what my priorities should be. good, soul churning stuff. to be patient, and just to sit back and let things unfold. and to know, always, that its not about me. at all. i'm just a silly girl living life on this earth trying not to mess things up, but continually failing, and returning again and again to rest in the grace of a God who is far bigger than i can ever comprehend.

there is nothing like

a bar of dark chocolate, slightly softened, that melts in your mouth. the open expanse of the ocean. the fresh feeling of the wind on your face as you spend the afternoon outside. family. comaraderie in peeling carrots and making meals. beaches at night, and the way that the waves roar against the rocks. climbing. greenness. coffee shops. talking, and talking some more. sunshine that you can feel against your eyeballs. new friends.

and

a quiet assurance that everything is going to be okay. right now, there is no need to worry. no need to worry about tomorrow, for it will indeed worry about itself.
