Me: Just another silly dreamer

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever quite had a “light bulb moment” until now.

I’m changing the name & URL of my blog. “Just Another Silly Dreamer” I shall be.
That name. It’s me.

I’ve never felt quite at home where I’m at now; I’ve felt kind of sub-par. This sub-par feeling has been nagging and nagging at me and my inner perfectionist. But I am about to change all that.

So here I am world. Take a look at me.

Always,
L.A.

"If God had granted all the silly prayers I've made in my life, where should I be now?"
-C.S. Lewis 

How does one celebrate Independence Day the right way?? How about by starting a good ole grass fire that the fire department has to put out? Only my family...

Ha, let's just say I hope your 4th of July was slightly less eventful!

Thinking of you

Some nights I find myself wishing to meet the person whose hand is the hand that’s meant to always hold mine, through good times and bad. The person whose spaces between their fingers are meant to be filled by mine.

Whoever & wherever you are, I can’t wait to finally meet you. Someday…

Always,
L.A.

Note to self:
Invest in a small notebook that can be kept in your purse at all times, so that whenever inspiration strikes you're prepared. That way you don't have to do your best to type it into a note on your phone, a note that can very easily be erased by the accidental push of a button.

These are the days I hate get unbelievably frustrated with technology.

Always,
L.A.

To change the world

  {via}

Yesterday while playing "The Ungame" for the first time ever, I was faced with a very powerful question: What is your greatest fear?

One of the girls I was playing with said she was afraid of dying young.

My greatest fear though, is not dying young, although that, without a doubt, is a tragedy.

My greatest fear is that I will die without really living. That I will check out of this life God has given me without having done anything of significance. In my "About me" I say something about wanting to change the world for the better. That is just as true now as it ever was. No matter what career path I'm contemplating at the moment.

I do want to change the world. All of it. Part of it. Some of it.
And all for the better.

Even if it's just one person's world, just one person's life whose a little bit better after meeting me.

In the end, that's what I want.

If I do that, I succeed. I fight the lies that the world feeds us, that one voice will never be enough, and I win the dreamer's victory.

And to die without accomplishing this? That is my greatest fear.

Always,
L.A.

Sunday Song

I don’t know what it is about summer, but it just makes me crave a good country song. All you Josh Turner lovers, this one goes out to you. (Doesn’t his voice just make you swoon?)

 

Always,
