if you haven't already heard them. i am currently obsessed with the band called Owl City. they are amazing and easy to listen to for days at a time on repeat. over and over. you get the idea.
thought for today:
i get mad way too easily. i need to chill.
work has just been driving me crazy all summer. trapped in an office all day with two very strong willed, strongly opinionated people can make me want to slam my head into the wall. i have always been a good, hard worker, but sometime during this summer i lost my will to be proactive in my job at all.
pet peeve #1 - i hate when people talk over me. just let me finish my statement please!
pet peeve #2 - i hate when people over react to things that just don't really matter all that much and try to make their crisis my crisis.
pet peeve #3 - i hate when people delegate things down to me or treat me like i don't know what i'm doing before they really even give me a chance.
pet peeve #4 - i hate when people don't tell me everything i need to know to do a job well and then tell me halfway through the job.
i just need to get those out and leave them behind me.
God has me with these people in this job right now because he knows how hard this is for me to deal with and i need to get over it. no matter how frustrated i get or how many pet peeves are being hit each and every second of the day...it's not worth it. i am meant for more (according to lamia :)) and i need to see beyond this job and this point of my life.
we are called to live a life pleasing to God. we are called to be witnesses. we are called to be last. to be servants to those around us. being mad and cussing under my breath at the injustice of it all is just a waste of my time. my energy. my life.
get over it dilyn! hollerrrr.

and history books forgot about us...
it is so easy to be caught up in hurry.
it is so hard to remember what is truly important.
it is so easy to believe in bad days.
it is so hard to get out of a bad mood without sleeping.
it is so easy to let life get to you.
it is so hard to change your life.
it is so easy to live vicariously through someone else.
it is so hard to believe that your life is perfect for you.
it is so easy to compare yourself to someone else.
it is so hard to remember you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
it is so easy to want someone to see your point.
it is so hard to admit you are wrong.
it is so easy to wonder what if.
it is so hard to find peace in what is.
it is so easy to ask questions.
it is so hard to accept answers.

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.
