Look what UPS dropped off today! So looking forward to reconnecting with the person that has inspired me to do missions and maybe some day adopt through this next book! @waterbrookmultnomah #partner #daringtohopebook #kissesfromkatie

So when it’s late You’re wide awake Too much to take Don’t you dare forget that in the pain You can be brave Hear me say I see you dressed in white Every wrong made right I see a rose in bloom At the sight of you Oh, so priceless Irreplaceable, unmistakable, incomparable Darling, it’s beautiful I see it all in you Oh, so priceless

I had never understood when people said that a singer/band saved their life. I knew music was powerful, but saving your life? That may be exaggerating quite a bit. This was what I thought until I started going down hill in my anxiety and recent depression. Although I would listen to music that made me happier, I wasn’t happy and it would only suppress all the different feelings I was (or wasn’t feeling). This was true or all except one, For King and Country. Now it is not to the extent of save my life in a death kind of way, but in saving me from myself. Their songs are uplifting and tell you that you have worth, that you are “priceless”. When seeing them in person, I am filled with true joy and excitement. My destructive though are dulled and I get more drive to live my life without fear of disappointment.

It is still a working process of controlling the consuming thoughts and feelings, but I am thankful the spurts of time that I can be me. I recommend looking up For King and Country to everyone, but also to those that need to hear that they have worth and to keep pushing on.

So this evening I just found out that one of my closest guy friends, that I recently got over crushing on, is transferring colleges next semester.

Like why?

You know when you see some super romantic scene in a movie and you tell yourself that you want that?

Well there is this one night where my university has this event thing where we can camp out outside of the football stadium so we can get into the game the next day. This night only two guys from my brother dorm and one of them guy brought a friend that lived off campus. It was a school night and it was pouring rain, so we had decided to hang enos in this heated bus stop. After about an hour the two guys from my brother dorm were asleep. So it was just this guy I had just met and me. I tried going to sleep, until this guy started talking to me. And usually the later it gets the more a talk and do things that i usually wouldn’t. The guy started playing some music, Frank Sinatra. He asked me to if i would like to dance with him. It caught me off guard but I went ahead and said yes. With both our awkwardness, we failed and we stopped faster than it had started. Then we stood around and talked some, and then I decided i was going to go out and walk in the rain. I did so and looked back at this guy and he was standing there smiling. I continued walking around when he walked out with me. Soon he asked if i wanted to go on a walk. I said sure thinking nothing of it, and we walked to up to the stadium and sat in the bleachers and just talked. Once I started getting cold from being soaked we walked back and then talked some more. When we got back he asked me again if i would like to dance with him again to make up for the first. Again I said yes, it wouldn’t hurt. We danced again and this time it wasn't extremely awkward and he sang along with the songs. He was smiling and tried looking me the eyes the when i actually looked up at him. This went on for about 3 songs until one of the other guys woke up and it was 4 O’clock in the morning.

This was probably the most romantic night I’ve ever had.

#college #romantic #true story #we didn't talk after #story of my life #dancing #I didn't see him again until about a month ago at church. And he now has a girlfriend.

So I’m posting this a little bit late, but can we take a minute to appreciate the best graduation present ever? It’s an altered book that my mom made out of the Fault in Our Stars. (Since she knew it was one of my favorite books) It’s kind of like a scrapbook, only it’s made out of the pages of a book instead (John, I hope that you don’t mind that my mom altered it). She used pictures, clippings, material, and other things I’ve gotten way back from when I was little to Senior Year. She even made tabs in some places, so you can lift it up and see the quotes. Thank you so much mom. This truly is the best graduation present ever.
