I’m going to miss this beautiful campus. (Taken with instagram)
I’ve missed this.
wow. 2011 is well underway. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve actually written a meaningful post on here. Here what’s up:
- My mom and I aren’t eating sweets for a month to kick the habit. It’s going well so far.
- My computer has crashed twice since I’ve had my mac. So… ALWAYS back up your hard drive.
- I’m still in the word. currently learning how to wait on the Lord. It’s hard since I’m a control freak.
- I’ve started this awful habit of clenching my teeth at night… so I have a headache 24/7.
- It’s Tom’s birthday today.. or night? I can’t believe he’s 23. We’ve been dating since he was 16. HOLY CRAP.
- We adopted a new dog over the summer. He’s adorable - but still not house broken.
- I can’t wait to go back to athens, but I still don’t want to leave home. I can’t seem to figure out where I’m most comfortable. Sometimes I wish I could just move to a different city, live in a tiny - but absolutely gorgeous - house, leave the windows open on the weekends, open up a coffee shop, and read every night before I go to bed… all by my self. I suppose I’d get lonely… but that’s just a dream.
- My brother is about to graduate high school and go off to college. I’m totally scared he’ll do something stupid. I guess he has to learn someday right?
- I need a job. more importantly… I need an intership.
- I also need to figure out the grad school mess. ehh.
- I’ll be officially done with my undergrad in December. Thank God.
- I’m trying to finish my sketchbook for this project I’m doing: http://arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject
That’s about it.
God speed.
I don’t think you’ve met the newest addition to our family…
Dear Tumblr, I’ve missed you.
Driving back to Athens this morning. God is so awesome.

Heavenly Father,
please forgive me for my lack of diligence in you. please forgive me for these thoughts i wish i never had. please forgive me for not turning to you during every circumstance. & thank you for always, always, being there.
love,
tiff
Excerpts from Paul David Tripp’s What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage:
- Love is being willing to have your life complicated by the needs and struggles of your husband or wife without impatience or anger.
- Love is actively fighting the temptation to be critical and…
“Our pain and losses are always a test of how much we treasure the all-wise, all-governing God in comparison to what we have lost… God ordains the hard times to see if good times are our god. Do we love bread, or do we love God? Do we treasure God and trust his good purposes in pain, or do we love his gifts more, and get angry when he takes them away?”
