Because I'm human - and I need it.

My house was quiet this morning as I pulled the window open in my room at 7:15.  Birds softly chirped from the trees close by, and I sunk back deep down into my feather comforter, remembering yesterday when I had all four wisdom teeth pulled.  

I haven't been home for two weeks because I've been house sitting;  sleeping in my own bed last night, though a bit uncomfortable because on my mouth, was so lovely.  My mom took such great care of me too.  She took me to my appointment, waited 2.5 hours for the procedure to be done with, and drove me home afterwards.  The procedure took so long because they had to cut clear down to the bone on three of my teeth, and then, crack away at it piece by piece and remove it.  I have 3 sutures in my mouth, causing a bit more pain than I'd like them to, however, vicodin has been amazing, and helpful.  

Mama and I watched close to 6 episodes of Parenthood last night, curled and cuddled up in bed with her pups Ruby. She snapped some pictures of me while I was dead asleep, and then bought me ice cream. I haven't had dairy or sugar, mind you, in 20 days - so what a treat it was indeed! I was awake until about 1am.  No more ice cream for me for 11 more days! Green and Fruit Smoothies all the way baby! 

Hopefully, my optimism about this entire situation will help make for a speedy recovery.  I'm on a liquid diet, per dentist's orders, for the rest of the week.  It'll be fine.  I'll be fine :) 

While I sip my smoothie, and cozy myself back into my soft bed, I'm reminded that even in the weirdest moments of my life, I am tied to Christ, and my even with my Mama here to help me, I am still in ever need of His comfort, support, and sustenance. 

Here's some hope I'm gleaning from. Something I'll be thinking on for the weekend - declaring, and asking for help. Because I'm human - and I need it.

 "The Lord is good, and does only good. Teach me your ways oh Lord". 

Psalm 119:68

what is twentysomething love?

When I was 19, panic mode began to set in.  

I was turning 20, and therefore approaching a decade of being deemed this 'twentysomething' individual.  

That was a lot to let sink in.  That was a lot to process.  

I made a goal that I would be held accountable in my twenties.  I made a goal that I would do whatever it took to reach my dreams, and ambitions.  I made a goal to surrender it all if that's what it took.  

March 17th 2011 I began twentysomethinglove.blogspot.com.  It was a deeper look, through my brain and typing fingers, into a twentysomething's identity.  Into my identity.  

I had so many questions on what kind of roller coaster the Lord was going to take me on in the coming seasons of life, and what He originally had planned for all of it. 

Over the past 4 1/2 years, I have changed blog sites, many blog bio's, and written to many thirtysomethings and tweens through the lovely tumblr.  However, at the end of the day, people are generous enough to lend me their eyes, and read my blogs. I am both pleased, and excited to move into the new year; It's about time for a new look, perspective, refresher, and retraining of the brain.  

twentysomething love is more than a blog to read.  It's a community of observers, and doers - world changers, and makers - extroverts, and introverts - christian, and agnostic.

 A place where you can be encouraged.  Stretched.  Challenged, and guided.  A place where we go feet first, and dive deep.  A place to grow, and a place to stay for a while.

 twentysomething love has a space for you to lay it all down.  

So join me.  Join me on this continuous journey of a young twentysomething herself, who enjoys pouring her heart out on a 14 inch computer screen for all to see.  There is more than meets the eye.  

This is twentysomething love.
