Just checking in.

Daily Activities:

daydreamed about love
meditated about what I want my relationship with God to look like
got accidentally kissed on the mouth! haha i wish it would of been jeron! haha j/k
laughed at a pack of boys beating each other up.


I have concluded that i have some goals: explanation: at first i thought my goal was only to cultivate meaningful relationships. but then i realized with further introspection that i want a colorful relationship with my Creator. A relationship filled with lively language, places, and people.

why is identifying goals important? because having a goal enables you to make better, faster and more confident decisions toward something you want.

Story Time:
Like today, i went to enjoy the sun falling asleep, but instead got to build a sand castle with a 5 year old. she told me she had a dream about a princess who had crocodiles. i asked her if the princess was scared of the crocs, she said "nope" without even a second thought.

Dude, how amazing is it that we have the ability to change our thoughts, and center them on truth. Are crocodiles scary? not if you grew up swimming in the same waters as them.

i love a wild sense of adventure. today when i was surfing, i was being "taught" by diego a tico. he isn't scared of crocodiles either. in fact, he calls them beautiful. to me, they freak me out. but now im thinking, if these people aren't that afraid of these nasty crocs, then why should i be afraid? so, i'm not that scared anymore. :)

But seriously, right now i am chilling outside on the balcony of casa papaya, which is a beautiful 3 story house. im listening to the night sing me a lullaby. i can hear the waves rolling in the distance. sometimes it's soft, and right now it's roaring!! i don''t ever want this trip to end. i can't believe it has been about a month already! so much has happened and nothing has happened all at the same time.

well, i don't want you to fall asleep as well.

so if you're praying for me, thanks! i need it.

here are a few things im mulling over and chatting with God about now.

1. patience to wait for the man God has predestined me to share life with. i'm pretty stoked about getting married.
2. my dad to get his passport and have a chance to fly here by the end of aug.
3 robbie and zoila to forget what time it is when they arrive, and have an unforgettably relaxing time!
4. trust in God with the tiniest details of my life. He keeps whispering in my spirit, trust me. trusting is adventurous, you never know what may come your way!

i praise God because He breathes meaning into every moment. nature and everything around me, embraces me, because God embraces me. life moves freely from one frame to the next without hesitation or fear. because everything has it's place to show me God's heart and love over his loved ones.

it's crazy for me to think that the world revolves around the God who loves me. and at His command, hearts start to beat and things begin to breathe! im so thankful His my dad, i wanna be just like him. :)

Thanks for reading my rambles, hope they were as enjoyable to read as they were to think about!

Love you!
