WEC

Even when life gets tough, when my burdens feel too heavy to carry, and I feel deep sadness...it's good to keep in mind I am blessed with things everyday from God. I left work today extremely upset and sad with what's going on in my personal life, that I thought to myself, "there has to be something good in your life and something you can thank God for right now. what makes you happy, Lauren?" This is the first thing that came to mind...

I Wish I Was Numb

I wish I was numb to it all. Sometimes I wish I didn't feel. Anything. Because for the last two years, the main feeling I have felt is not a positive feeling. It's a feeling of such darkness and pain that most days I don't even feel like I recognize myself anymore. Most days I don't even feel like getting out of bed, going to work, having to talk to people, or anything for that matter. Most people that I have talked to say that I have endured this situation way past and much longer than any normal person would. Why do I keep enduring? Why do I keep going?

Dear Heart

"Dear Heart, do you belong to me, or do I belong to you?
Just look at all the trouble you drag me into.
I've heard it said to follow your heart,
But I'm starting to wonder if it's gone too far.

When I'm In Your Arms

"Everything I see
Is so temporary
So help me to run the race before me
With eternity in sight"

Kings Dominion Review

I went to Kings Dominion today with my coworker Roxy! It was a lot of fun, not too hot, and we got on ALL the major rides which was lucky for a busy Saturday in the summer. Here are my ratings for their major rides:

1 = waste of time
2 = boring, nothing special about it
3 = decent ride, but wouldn't ride twice in 1 visit
4 = great ride, worth a wait
5 = fantastic experience, thrilling, intense, and a MUST ride

Death

Depressing blog topic, eh? Well, going to 2 funerals within 1 week has got me thinking about death a lot, so what can I say? These last two people who have died have both been great people. People who were known for their kindness and love and compassion. Does that make it any better on their loved ones to let go? Not always. Or is it their faith in God that makes it easy to let go? That definitely helps, but it's still a painful process to imagine life without them in it. If the person was saved and believed in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, then its comforting to know they will spend eternity with their Heavenly Father. But what do you say to the loved ones of the person who died if they were not a believer and never knew Christ? That must be a hard situation to handle.
