november blue

 

So here's what's up with life at the moment:

First off, I've been a giant bundle of stress lately. I seriously have a problem with telling people "no." Thanks to this character flaw, I've ended up with entirely too much on my plate. I hardly have time to do the things I have to do, let alone the things I want to do. Thankfully, there are four weeks left in this semester. I'm really going to cut back on my commitments next semester so I can actually get the rest I need to function. I'm tired of pulling myself together and scrapping up enough energy to get through the day. I want to live. 

November is tough month for me. If you've been around here a while, you know this already. Super thanks to those of you who've been praying for me. I've been doing okay thus far...I've only had my reoccurring dream once, and only one random breakdown. It's hard to believe my sweet mom has been gone almost four years. I miss her like crazy.

Lately I've been trying to plan out my future. Instead of worrying about the things I have to do today I've been worrying about the things that might happen twenty years from now. Life just can't be lived that way. It isn't possible. Christ has given us hope for tomorrow, but He's also given us hope for right now. I've stopped stressing over what might happen, and have instead been asking myself what's the next, best thing I can do? 

My hair is long enough to wear in topknot. Squee!

I voted for the first time last week. I have peace about whatever happens tonight. 

Finally, I found out a couple of days ago that I'll be going to Spain and Morocco this spring! I can't begin to tell you how excited I am that God has given me this opportunity. Pray for our team, the missionaries, and funds. I know God will provide, and I can't wait to see what He is going to do!

I leave you with this:

Poison and Wine

This is another one of those rare occurrences when I did actually get up in front of a group of people and sing. The Rossettis, and our brother society, the Bunyans, hosted an open mic night for rush week. Everything went really, really well! I seriously enjoyed every act that got up on stage. Thanks so much to everyone who showed up, ate queso, and performed! Y'all rock. :)

If you don't attend Welch College (does anyone from school read this? Hello out there!) this is my friend Andrew and I covering "Poison and Wine" by The Civil Wars. Enjoy. :)

dark blue (i'll play it for you)

I know I've only mentioned it like 50 times, but I love playing piano. So, that's nothing new. Often, when I'm avoiding playing the songs I'm supposed to be learning (you really can only play The Girl with the Flaxen Hair so many times before it gets old...), I play fun songs. It's usually Mumford and Sons, but the other day I decided to branch out and do some Jack's Mannequin. I've been ridiculously, all-out, fangirl obsessed with them lately. Fine. I'll say it. Andrew McMahon is dreamy and he can play the piano. Swoon. I only have like...five pictures of him pinned on pinterest. That's not a ton...right!?

I digress. The song Dark Blue is really what got me into Jack's Mannequin, so I decided to try to play it. It's only the introduction and the first verse. Someday I'll get around to learning the chorus and finish out the song.
