Something Beautiful

GOD DOES NOT PUT YOU THROUGH ANYTHING THAT YOU CANNOT OVERCOME. HE WILL CARRY THE WEIGHT AND HELP YOU GET TO WHERE YOU NEED TO BE. GOD MADE YOU THE STRONG, CAPABLE, BEAUTIFUL HUMAN THAT YOU ARE, AND WHATEVER IT IS, HE WILL BE BY YOUR SIDE. So cry those tears, but know that the tears will end and they will be replaced with an incredibly glorious plan that God has for you. Oh my goodness. Have I mentioned I love Tori Kelly? Have I? Because THIS SONG is something every Christian needs to remember, and I cannot thank her enough for spreading this message to the masses, and in such a gorgeous way. UGH. This is going to be on repeat for 25 years.

Day 2: Comfort

Nothing like coming home to a peaceful apartment after a long day.

Wrap Me In Love

It's always so nice when the right person gets exactly how you're feeling at the exact moment you need them to. Shout out to Tori Kelly for literally always nailing it.

La Di Da Da Da

So I bought Tori Kelly's album, Unbreakable Smile, after waiting forever. And it's INCREDIBLE. I can't stop listening to it, it's so good. She took my life and put it in the words I could never find. Ugh. She's amazing. Le swoon.

I sat with Mariah for a bit as she talked to a dear old IT man in McDaniel's library. And he decided to tell us stories of his younger days when he was a rebel. And he taught us about the best way to get a woman's attention. He told us the story of when he first saw his wife. He was at a party and from across the way he saw "the most beautiful woman in the world". He was so absolutely amazed, and he saw she was walking towards their party. And then she was walking right towards their friend group. And then he, as eloquently and suavely as any man has ever wooed a lady, said "uhh.. ahhh... ughh.. hh... can I get you a beer?" and she responded "that would be lovely" and she smiled at him. And he went into the kitchen and actually took some time to catch his breath. He told us he doesn't believe in love at first sight. "It's all bullsh*t". But they have been happily married for about 27 years. Their anniversary is coming up. She is apparently the email admin at McDaniel, so I'm guessing they come into work together. Congratulations to the happy couple.

This song. Is going. To get me through. A LOT. I can feel it.

Leading Reveal

Jess A & I led reveal tonight. After being the closest to these babies for a while now, everyone FINALLY knows who their Bigs are. They actually were pretty good at guessing! They're all put into wonderful families and being caught up on traditions. Honestly, I LOVE this new class. I have so much hope for them. They may be someone else's Littles. But they'll always be my babies. And I look forward to working with them in the near future. We've got great things planned :)

Can you tell I'm still obsessed with Tori Kelly?

Dear No One

This song is basically flawless and accurate in every way. Sharing on the main blog because it really is just that good.

I like being independent
Not so much of an investment
No one to tell me what to do
I like being by myself
Don’t gotta entertain anybody else
No one to answer to

But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when its cold
Got that young love even when we’re old
Yeah sometimes, I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you till the end

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song

I don’t really like big crowds
I tend to shut people out
I like my space, yeah
But I’d love to have a soul mate
God will give him to me someday
& I know it’ll be worth the wait

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song

But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when its cold
Got that young love even when we’re old
Yeah sometimes, I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you till the end

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song
