dang. i’m a workaholic.

and i don’t mean this in that study all the time. i really don’t. i mean this in that i’m always doing something with a very real and specific purpose meant to further some kind of growth in my life, whether academic, physical, or spiritual. like – i study/write papers to further my future in education. i run for my health. i read the Word/pray in order to grow. i lead a small group and do whatever else that entails in order to help the body.

i should start doing things i want to do just because i want to. that should be enough of a reason.  

• walk around and take random photos of the south congress shops.
• have coffee dates with myself at the starbucks on 24th – people in the union don’t know how to make lattes.
• embrace the divine romance. again. and again. and again.
• abide in him and leaving myself out. in every moment.  
• buy a wedding/funeral/easter/sunday dress from anthropologie.
• take a vow of silence for a day and just listening to the people around me.
• breathe in the sunset along the river at mozart’s.
• smile while walking to classes. frowning takes too much work.
• speak languages other than english. because i can. and i want to.
• hang out with believers outside of my usual circle. glean from their stories.
• write encouraging notes to random people i want to love.
• watch more girly movies and read more girly books.
• sitt down on the 6-pack lawn and let the sun cover me like a soft, freshly dried blanket.
• eat really fantastic local food.
• run to the capitol and back, just to say that i’ve done it. actually – it would be really awesome to eventually run a 5k. just to say i can do it.
