musings

I'm a gifter. If you've ever heard of love language, this one is mine. Giving gifts to people-usually when I don't know how to fix something or say something, I'll give them something instead. These little notebooks came in a pack of 3, and I mailed one off to a sweet lady. I thought I'd try some pics of my own of them (though they're nothing compared to hers). Makes me proud.

I started scrap-journaling, officially one week ago, and I'm enjoying it. Mostly because I made up my own rules (such as I can only write in list/bulleted form, and I can paste or tape anything I want on the pages, and I'm not allowed to date the entries...quite unconventional). It's so much more fun for me though, because now it's just a miss-mash of whatever I was thinking that day, and that is that.

I've resolved to making all of my Christmas gifts this year (ok, most of them at least). Because I can knit and yarn comes in cute colors and who doesn't need another scarf? Answer-no one. Especially when it's made with my mediocre knitting skills (ha...ha..)

I'm blogging too much lately and I think it's just a form of procrastination. Today I listened to a sermon about identity in Christ. And it was really neat how he explained it- we have to be humble enough to admit that we are just parts in the play, and Jesus is King, and God has written the whole thing. We are not the star. We are not the playwright. And this brings so much peace. I choose to believe that God is sovereign, and that even when I make a bad decision (which I inevitably will), or if I think my way is right, God is in control. His ways are higher. Thank goodness.

Now to study for an exam, take said exam, spend some time in the best city, and head home for a near week long adventure.
