currently: grateful

wearing // an oversized tshirt and shorts
drinking // lotsss of water and hot tea
laughing at // my stupid sense of humor and when i slightly stumble over my words. and how bae aka my sister always catches it when i do mess up and we die.
cooking // or baking banana chocolate chip muffins for breakfast this morning. so good.
working on // my speech. james really got it right in james 3. my entire life and the lives of those around me can be dictated by what i say. so why is it that i continue to use it in ways that are anything but encouraging or uplifting? also on a clear kind of structure for my devotions (i would soo appreciate any tips!) and and a running schedule.
wanting // some food right now and to go to sleep. such a struggle.
looking forward to // sleepover with baes in the middle of the week because fall break. this should include the office marathons, donuts, target runs, and earl grey tea in abundance. also hanging rock for my sisters' engagement pictures!!!!!!!!! what is life!!!!!!!!!!! also coffee dates with other bae. and maybe (maybe maybe) apple picking and hay rides with lots more baes. and maybe a little early for this but that extra hour of sleep at the start of november OH AND CHRISTMAS TOO.
listening to // football. all the time.
loving // having so much more time this week.
watching // so. much. agents of shield. so stinking good. just started the second season and can we just talk about fitzsimmons please. also clark gregg is bae. (plus season 9 of doctor who. God bless bbc america)
planning // hardly anything because it's fall break and i do what i want. but i do have responsibilities still so i guess just planning for the week ahead. actually a little stressful. O.o
encouraged by // my church and this past sunday. it was so full of goodness. also some time spent in prayer after the service with some friends. also sunshine ^-^
grateful for // my family. second chances and forgiveness. books. sunshine. fall weather. 1 free week of spotify premium. a healthy body. my country. spearmint gum. clear fresh water. barefoot walks. wildflowers. salad. bagels. my bed. pillows. sleep. ok i think it's time for bed.

  7. I love posts like this where I get a glimpse into someone else's life and their "currently". Plus, they're always so much fun to read!

    And girl, I can totally relate to dedicating consistent time for devos! It's hard, but I've found that if I switch it up every now and then, I get more into it. Lately, I've been using colored pens to underline a specific theme throughout a chapter. I'm a visual learner so seeing the colors all over my page helps me memorize the message of the chapter... Plus, it looks pretty so... :)

  8. "james really got it right in james 3." I has gots to go and read this now but WUT SPEECH IT SOUNDS AMAZING AND LIKE...I WANT TO KNOW MORE. Okay, ahem. I'm with you on pretty much everything you listed there at the bottom. And I hope you get to go apple picking (super fun) and gosh, enjoy all those lovely things! You life sounds like a totally awesome party. *is jelly* Haha, no, I'm kidding. x) But I do covet the free time thing...
    This is a fabulous prompt! And I didn't know your sis had a blog omg! Have fun doing photos with them! That sounds like a blast. Sorry I've been so MIA lately, my time has not been my own. (in literally every sense of the phrase.) I also have really bad grammar suddenly. I'm going to blame it on Pinterest, the end.
    And yes, Spotify Premium is a beautiful thing. *squeals because I just bit the bullet (literally five minutes ago) and bought myself some* AAAAAEEEHHCCK!

    Love ya girl. ♥
