Book Buildings.
Taken from Kayla Daniel's Tumblr so all credit goes to her. Library in Kansas City wins hands down. It is now on my Bucket List to visit there.
Love Actually.
As Im sitting the airport, I can’t help but remember the opening scene in Love Actually. The opening quote goes like this :
“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion… love actually is all around.”
Some people in the airport are flying out for a business trip. Others are flying home from vacation. While others are taking last minute adventures to get away from everyday life. But there are some, me included, that are flying to see the people I love. My family. I can’t wait to see Nate & Shauna. This weekend is going to be awesome and it will go by way to fast. Happy Birthday to Mom. What could be a better birthday gift that spending it with your whole family??
I better get to eat at Chicken Ruths.

Hope of the World.
While driving home from class this afternoon, I passed a man walking on the side of the street, when I saw him bend down. As I looked back I saw that he had bent down at an alcohol bottle, and was taking a swig to see if any was inside. Without any luck, he slammed the bottle down and kept walking. It was one of the most heart breaking moments I have experienced. Knowing that this man had more hope in an alcohol bottle than in anything else. Something to ease a little pain or take his mind off of his troubles. Something to give him an token of happiness for a short time. I hope there is a moment in his life where someone shares with him the one hope of the world.
Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

Take my dreams...
Then David continued, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will see to it that all the work related to the Temple of the Lord is finished correctly."
1 chronicles 28:20
I found this scripture tonight. Its exactly what I have been desiring to receive. I don't know what kind of work God has designed for me. But Im ready..I'm ready for Him to take my dreams, give them wings and fly.

Community of Professional Lovers.
Galatians 5:6
"The only thing that matters is the faith that expresses itself in love."
"Why not be identified as a community of professional lovers that causes people to say 'How they love one another!'...Jesus said he is going to recognize you as His only by one sign; the way you are with one another on the street every day....If we as a Christian community took seriously the sign of our love for Jesus is our love for one another, I am convinced it would change the world. We're denying to the world the one witness Jesus asked for: Love one another as I've loved you. (John 15:12)"

Stupid things I fear most...
Random things I fear the most:
- Water spilling on my mac.
- Breaking my finger playing volleyball. (the ball hitting the tip of my finger and pushing it down and breaking it into pieces)
- Breaking my finger playing any sport really.
- Sitting near the window on an airplane and the person sitting on the aisle beside me being a creeper and never being able to escape. Kinda like the movie red eye except my person is severely obese and stares creepily at me the whole time. And without the whole jabbing a pen in his throat scene.
- Sitting at a stoplight and someone walking up to my car and trying to get in. It's a stupid fear though because I always lock my doors for this reason.
- Praying for someone at church, and in the middle of the prayer, realize im praying for the wrong thing. lol
- Accidentally farting in class loudly.
- Falling asleep on someones shoulder and wake up with drool all over their arm. It would be funny though.
- Not having internet at my house. I am a sad person.
- My hard drive crashing.
- Chewing on the end of a pen in class, and not knowing the pen is leaking and have ink all over my mouth and not know it at all and no one telling me.
- Slip walking into school.
- Having to change the receipt paper at work. Its a pain the butt.
- Dropping my phone into water.
Im so weird lol

How can you see..
How can you see and not believe? How can you say there is no God. With all the beauty surrounding you, how can you say that there is no artist? Open your eyes to the beauty. Open your eyes to what God has for you. Open your eyes to the beauty that God created in you. Its not rocket science. Its faith.
"For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
Romans 1:20(NLT)"
