and sometimes life is peaceful.

It's Tuesday, and while sitting at work I thought to myself  "Self, you need to blog." So here I sit, blogging. Last week I had quite the to-do list. Monday morning rolled around and there I went, tackling loads of school work! None of my tests were too difficult, just took some preparation on my part. Friday came fast, however, and the hectic week was quickly over! But it's over and we've moved on to a dead, uneventful week. No complaints here (:

I spent the weekend in Allen with Jake. It was a much needed lazy weekend and let me tell you, we were lazy! We just sat around lost in conversation or an episode of America's Next Top Model, or even "The Kindergarten Cop." We had a great time joking with his mom about not getting anything done on her to-do list, and were freaked out by the asian lady who cut his hair calling him hot. um, excuse me? (: Saturday night we watched a documentary with his mom that made us all want to change our eating habits, but after a trip to the grochery store with Mrs. Hans, she and I decided that she could just cook the nastiness out of the cheap meat instead of pay for the better made stuff.... and then we had Wendy's. Fail. I actually really like Allen, but don't tell him I said that... (:

ANYWAY,
I've really been learning a lot about friendship the past several months. God's surrounded me with the most genuine, God fearing, trustworthy friends I could ask for. He's also put people in my path that I never expected to become super close to, but we have. I am so grateful for all of my friendships and I pray that I am half the friend that they are to me. He's been really workin' on me lately, how to love others, encourage them and spend time with them (even if they aren't my first pick to hang around). Some people need a friend, period. Not a friend out of "feeling sorry for them" but just because someone truly loves them. It's always my prayer to love like God loves me. (impossible I know). But really, God doesn't love us because of anything we did or will do. He simply loves us because He can. So maybe instead of only loving those who are easy to love, I need to love those who don't see love as much, just because I can. Just a thought?


Love.
