today was actually a pretty great day, and it's been a pretty great week. school is wrapping up nicely, work is as great as ever ha, and i'm super stoked to have a week in between semesters. not gonna lie though, i've had quite a lot on my mind this week about a lot of things. my life could change a lot in these next few weeks, which is leaving me scared, excited, nervous, and unsure. i've always been a super cautious and worry-prone person which is good i guess, because i'm very careful about the decisions i make, but that also means i get really worried about things. i've been praying to God for clarity and peace in my life, and i have felt him tell me to "Trust Him" and to everyday, continue to do those little things that bring me close to my Savior, Jesus Christ--like prayer and scripture study. these two things have saved me in so many ways. i know the Lord trusts me and respects my agency, but i also know that as i follow His promptings, He will guide me. ultimately, i want to do what He wants me to do. so...wish me luck. i have faith that it will all work out. with God on my side, I don't need luck, I just need faith and hope. yep, that will do.
so besides being confused about life ha, i have had some interesting experiences this week. let the awkward and awesome begin.
awkward (well...more like painful)
so i love long boarding and it's one of my favorite things to do. a couple of my friends invited my sister and i to go boarding down this hill, of course which i was up for. you see though, the last time i went riding down hills, i ate it pretty bad. i've gotten better since then, but i was still kinda nervous. but what the heck i decided to go for it. so i was doing fine for a while down the hill, but then my board got super shaky and i fell pretty hard. my knees, elbow, chest, and hip got all scraped up. so for the last few days i've been walking with an funny limp (which is so great). haha it's been pretty painful and awkward, but i felt it was worth it after all. i am usually not the most adventurous person, so i actually didn't mind getting some scars if it mean i did something out of the ordinary. why not right?
awesome
so the other day when i was walking to work, i had multiple people go out of their way to open my door for me as i entered and exited buildings. i know this is something super simple, but it just made my day so much better. my dad has always taught me that men should always open my doors wherever i go. he even opens my doors when i get out of and enter the car, or when we are getting out of an elevator he lets me out first. i just thought it was cool that a ton of guys still have that same chivalrous mentality. thumbs up for men who know whats up.
i hope your thursday was full of awkwardness and awesomeness. you have to have a little bit of both, right? it keeps things interesting for sure.
