one more day.
one more day.
until WILDERNESS! :)
*that was me when i went as a camper with my best friend Kelly four years ago now!*
funny. i keep thinking...one more day, one more day...today. and ironically the song
"One More Day" by Jackson Waters keeps coming up on my iTunes playlist.
and it is perfect.
one more day.
to get closer to god.
to say i love you.
to experience grace.
to smile.
to feel the weight of the world.
to see the sun.
to feel pain.
to offer advice.
to do something you always wanted to.
to believe in yourself.
to make the best playlist of all time.
one more day. we'll see our Savior's face.

hear you me.
it's been a hard few days. so if you read this just pray for me!
we have been hosting this conference called Grandparents University at Holmes Hall since yesterday. It is basically this really cool thing, where grandparents bring their grandkids to MSU and experience the college life. they stay in dorms, eat cafe food and go to classes scheduled all around campus.
my grandma and grandpa duffey have both passed away now. my grandpa had Parkinson's disease since the year before i was born and it finally claimed his life last May 2008. my grandma died the year before him, March 2007, after deteriorating rapidly within 5 years; dying with Alzheimer's and a few years of Parkinson's under her belt as well.
they were awesome and i know they would have really loved being involved in this conference! it has just been hard seeing all these grandparents all over the place. i just really loved them and wish i still had some chances to spend time with them. i keep tearing up on the job and just need prayer that i don't burst into awkward, unnecessary tears while at work!
take time to tell your family members how much you love them! this time is precious.

dismantle : repair.
"So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them."
Matthew 23:3-4
what?
ok. so the authority put before us. we must obey them but we cannot be like them? is that possible?
i have been reading these two verses all day now and trying to figure out how that should look in my life. how am i to show respect and obedience to the authorities placed before me, while still diligently following only God's orders? and even harder for me to imagine...how am i to be a part of this world and be involved in their issues, but not let those issues weigh heavily on my shoulders?
all i can decide from this right now. is that this will take extreme care and concentration on the task at hand. this is not a natural way to live - it will take effort. the other thing i need to learn to control in this is my sensitivity.
i cannot let an issue become a crisis. a weight on my shoulders.
how will i chose to react to other people's crises?
how do i extend a hand of grace while maintaining my own peace?
