My whole life I’ve been encouraged to guard my heart from the wrong man, but sometimes I just want to go on a date, ya know?!

I’ve made a big realization today.
I’m an obsessive person.
I obsessive over everything
Work
Coworkers
Eating healthy
Working out
A certain boy (whoever it happens to be at the time)
Whatever I’m currently saving for
Characters from movies or books
Tv shows
A certain meal from any particular restaurant
Fall
CHRISTMAS
Anyways. I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing. I need to be more obsessed with the bible and learning gods word. Hmm.
Oy Vey.
It’s terrible to have people say terrible things about you.
Being the victim of some verbal hatred these past few weeks has made me seriously realize how evil and destructive bad-talking others is.
Something positive I’m taking from it all is that it’s time to come clean about my own bad-talk and do my absolute best to not speak of others in a negative way.
God, please help me.

My first day off in over a week! Booyah. Plans for the day:
Have coffee & oatmeal
Go for a walk to enjoy the weather
Clean my room / wash work clothes
Bake cookies
7pm friends over to watch the lion king!
Enjoy parents being out of town >:)
Free Download: Edward Scissorhands Fan Art by MichaelChoiArt at Deviantart here. Black ink on white paper drawing, pretty high resolution download. It’s been posted on Tumblr before without giving credit to the source (I found it in 15 seconds) so they missed the free download part - that’s why I like to know the source. I also found it for Paper Sparrow’s Tim Burton Blog Party and no, my real name is not Jules.
ugh, mom I feel like a tub of lard.”
“oh honey, don’t be silly, you’re a tub of love.”
Hahaha
Blessings
God is confusing. Haha.
Life is full of seasons. For me, they’ve either been blissful or full of trials. However right now the season I’m in is equally joyful and heartbreaking.
I’m so blessed to have a full-time job, especially one that I love! I’m lucky to have two parents who love me and encourage me to pursue the things I enjoy. I’m blessed to be playing on a soccer team with awesome girls.
On the other hand, both of my brothers are getting divorced and my favorite aunt just got a double mastectomy to try and cure her newly diagnosed breast cancer. Just typing that made my heart hurt.
I’ve never been filled with such sadness, this is the deepest sorrow i’ve ever known.
But for some reason; I know God will calm the storm, as he has already calmed my spirit.
GIVEAWAY TIME!
Yay! I’m so excited to have my first giveaway here at Scissors + Thread!
This pack is full of some of my favourite things in the world. Would you like to know a little more?!
Top Row, L-R:
A Copy of Frankie Magazine
For frankie 43 it’s all about originals and individuals: people who push the envelope (and might get the occasional paper cut). There’s a lady from Christchurch who won’t let her city’s continued rumblings get in the way of her boutique dreams, a chat with maverick director John Waters, a Queensland painter who’s quit her day job to let art pay the rent, some music lovers who’ve started their own pirate radio station and an Australian diplomat who conducts peace talks with a guitar. PLUS a very special jam recipe and one-off frankie stickers to pop on your jars once you’re done, a waltz through the history of flowers, lots of pretty fashions from our favourite local designers and all the usual laughs, crafts, arty bits, musical goodness and – for our biggest ever issue – more nice stuff than you can shake a stick at. Hope you like it!Frankie magazine is my favourite magazine in the world, and I want to share the goodness with you too! So this pack gets a copy!
