living life for the weekends

Well, this semester is definitely the hardest yet.
But it's keeping me busy and forcing me to form good study habits.
I've been having having fun on the weekends by
seeing movies, going out to eat, having friends visit,
going to my aunts house to see my cousins, and other fun things.
This weekend I'm really excited because me and my friend
are baking!!! I'm not sure why,
but I've been a little obsessed with cupcakes lately.
I mean look how adorable they are...





Oh and I've also been a bit obsessed with cute mugs.
I want to buy them all, but really don't have much use for them,
so I have to refrain for now.
Of course a bunch of them are owl mugs. :)
That's all for now, lots of homework still to do!
always love,

inspiration

"Our emotional reactions to his love are not necessarily so deep

or so pure as we think. We feel we love him utterly

but we live so much in the feeling realm that we think

we are the kind of people we feel we are.

We feel we want to live for him alone

and want to die for him if he so wills,

but if the Lord does not shatter our self confidence as he shattered Peter’s

we shall go on being deceived by our feelings

and life will be one of endless fluctuations…

the measure of our ability to follow the Lord

is not assessed by the measure of our desire to follow him. "

–watchman nee

"And it's hard.
It's much harder than I thought it would be,
but there's more good than bad.
And you don't just give up."
-The Story of Us
"Maybe being grateful is recognizing what you have for what it is,
appreciating small victories,
admiring the struggle it takes to simply be human.
Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know
and maybe we're thankful for the things we will never know.
At the end of the day the fact that we have the courage to still be standing
is reason enough to celebrate."
-Grey's Anatomy

"Forever & ever is a very long time, Pooh"

"Forever isn't long at all when I'm with you, Christopher Robin"

If there ever comes a day when we can't be together

keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever”

-Winnie the Pooh


“I love sleep.

My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?”

-Ernest Hemingway

"Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom.
They just open up & turn toward the light & that makes them beautiful."
- Jim Carrey

There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard.

Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons."

-Stephen Chbosky


"So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons.

And maybe we'll never know most of them.

But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from,

We can still do things.

And we can try to feel okay about them."

-Stephen Chbosky
