Week 4- Paradise

What do I think Paradise will be like?

An interesting question. It's funny because I feel like I honestly have never really given this question much thought. I know Jesus will be there and all the people who follow him... and that will be awesome. But other than that I can only tell you that I hope that there's really great music, it's always 73 degrees, there's an ocean as well as mountains, and everyone dances and the dance parties.

I know, it's not terribly exciting but I suppose I'm pretty easily pleased.

Week 3- Five Desert Island Songs

Did I miss Sunday again? Yes I did. I'm not sure how that happened. Anyway. This week's question is a hard one. So I'm just going to answer quickly and apologize to songs I forget later.

1. Cuddle Fuddle-- Passion Pit

2. Hey Ya-- Outkast

3. My Love- the bird and the bee

Music Video is here.

4. Lasso-- Phoenix

5. Hallelujah (Hallelujah two)-- Phil Rice


Enjoy!
love.

I'm a liar on so many counts. (Week 2)

On the first count, I was on my super-awesome-mini-road-trip-vaca and couldn't update on Sunday. Furthermore, I forgot my camera and so I have no pictures of any of it to share with you.

Long story short, Brite is AWESOME. I loved it so much and I could really see myself there. It's terrifying to think about picking up my life and moving to Ft. Worth but it's terrifying to think about moving anywhere. I'm not ready for big girl school/adult life. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how the other school visits go and how I like other schools.

HOLLA. 30 Week Challenge, Week 2- Something that Inspires Me.

This is a good question. I think the answer is reflecting on the things that God has done or has used me to do, specifically with TPX in mind. That's a weird, non-descript answer, but I can't pinpoint one thing. I think about speaking at the retreat or seeing his Spirit move at camp or interning two years ago and I just get really excited and... inspired. :)

If you like that, I'll link this too. Thanks, Adam.


Love! (And I promise I'll bring my camera to Duke.)

Happy Holidays Kids! (30 week challenge: week 1, Guilty Pleasure)

I begin this post like I must begin every 4th of July post-- Please, everyone, try not to blow yourselves up this weekend.

Furthermore, I have decided that my blog is really boring. So I'm starting the 30 week challenge. I'm stealing it from Ben, who did it as a 30 day challenge, but I'm going to stretch it out a little bit. Postsecret only updates once a week so I feel like that's probably ok for me. So this can be week one of the 30 week challenge and then I'll just add a little commentary from life. Deal? Deal.

Week 1- Guilty Pleasure.

There are a lot... but I'm going to say it's this song:



Listen, if it wasn't so awesome, there wouldn't be so many covers of it. When I was looking on youtube I found at least 4 by artists I genuinely like.

So there you have it. You can look forward to these posts on Sundays.




Other interesting life news: I'm visiting Brite Divinity school next Tuesday. They are on the same campus as TCU though technically different institutions. All I know about them thus far is they are affiliated with Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), one guy I'm researching for my thesis teaches there, and they seem surprisingly liberal for an evangelical school in Texas. I say this because on their FAQ one thing mentioned is the non-discriminatory policy towards LGBT students. It seems like this will be a good place to go if I'm interested in sticking with wisdom literature as an emphasis. The visit will definitely be interesting. And I get to swim in my Aunt's pool. I'll report back with pictures.

Have an excellent independence day!
love.
