| I recently challenged myself to do at least one extraordinary act of service to each family member daily. Actually I started it the last couple weeks of college, but that's over with...so now it's family. So that means I spent today weeding in the flower beds in preparation of Camden's graduation party. It's crappy work, and I have come to the conclusion that I have a love-hate relationship with gardening. To entertain myself I discovered that weeds can teach us lessons too. Teachable Moments with Weeds: ~ Weeds definitely grow faster than plants, and their weeds grow deeper than plants. Meaning: Bad habitats develop quickly, but take a long time to remove. ~ Weeds teach us humility. Everyone has "weeds" in their life. No one's "flower garden" is perfect. ~ Weeds teach us strength. It takes physical strength to weed a garden. It takes spiritual strength to remove the "weeds" from our spiritual lives. ~ Weeds teach us beauty. As we pull the weeds, the beauty of the flowers emerges. Onward...I've gotten my teacher's lisence. However I don't have a job. And that is okay. I'm sure have a job of some-sort next year. :)I'm excited for this weekend because I get to dress up and look cute for Leah's wedding and Camden's party. It's been a rough week for me because I've been working outside and haven't been able to dress up a little. ;) Every girl has got to dress up. Gotta get another application ready...see ya!! | | |
| Dear Friends, Little weird. Haven't been on here for over a year, and I'm only returning for the memories. Thanks for the memories. Life is different. I like it. I don't like it. I want what I can't have, and what I am required to do right now...I want to delay it. Loans....payments...jobs...I don't want to think about it. I do want to know where I'm going...who I'm teaching...where I'm going to be living. I just want to get through this summer. And then I don't. God has given me this time. This waiting time. And as a wise person once told me, "Waiting time is not wasted time". I am here for a purpose. Strange as that may sound. I'm ready and willing for what God has to teach me. I want to see His plan. On another note, we have a new puppy. His name is Jack. He's cute. Adorable. And you have to babysit him. He makes my life fun. Family is good. God is faithful. Friends are wonderful. I am blessed. Love all. Love always. Jordana | | |
| Do you ever stop and think what it would be like if we could see Jesus. I mean, right now, He would be in my room....sitting....in Lys' purple chair, and we would be jamming to Relient K and procrastinating on homework. Or would we? Would we be discussing the deepest, most theological thoughts of the age....I doubt it b/c I hate those debates. Or maybe we would be discussing Neko's health and care....because I have lots of questions concerning him. Maybe I would tell Him my worries....because I'm scared for this week and weekend, namely tomorrow. Maybe He would give me a shoulder massage....because I need it and His would be A-mazing. We would also be eating jelly beans and peeps. I wonder which He likes better? I wouldn't want to do homework with Him though. His would be perfect and flawless....and I'm too competitive to handle that. And then, I think about the conversations I have with my friends now. The things I do and say with them, even if I am just kidding. I have wretched thoughts. But the killer thought....the killer statement....is this...why am I asking myself "what it would be like if Jesus was physically here?" He already is.

| "It's always nice to look out the window And see those very first few flakes of snowAnd later on we can go outsideAnd create the impression of an angel that just fell from the sky.""And deep inside I felt thingsShifting everything was meltingAway oh awayAnd you gave us the most beautiful of days." - "Like a Lion (Always Winter) by Relient K
The majority of my girls are gone. And I almost no longer have to carry the burden of being an RA. It is peaceful in the hall...all is well....all is quiet. I relish in it. It restores me. Today I ran for the first time in almost a month; I had worked out on other machines, but never the treamill. I had forgotten how much I enjoy running. There is a focus about it. I am intent about my workout. I put my headphones on and everyone else, everything else fades away to oblivion. I am able to reevaluate my life...my priorities...my responsibilites; it all makes sense when I am on the treadmill. These past few months have been hard. I had to face my vain ambition, my pride, and my selfish desires. I am thankful for the boyfriend and friends that have helped me on my journey. Although it hurt to do that; I am now better because of it. I don't deserve a single one of them. I am blessed to know them. I do wish that it would snow. I want the big, fat flakes that float lazily from the sky. I want a white Christmas Eve. | | |

So....this is the life, partly, God is first....but football? It's up there.
