Live.

A friend of mine died this morning. She was hit by a car, walking across the street. She was 21. She died.

Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. 2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.

More importantly, she was 21, and she lived.

Prayers to the Hollenbach family, Brittany's memory will be eternal.

ER

I had rounds in the ER today at my clinical hospital, and I LOVED IT!!! I did so many cool things, practiced a ton of new skills and got lots of compliments from the nurses that I was doing a great job! I started a bunch of IVs and a few catheters and it was just a huge confidence booster. I would seriously consider working in the ER after this experience, and I feel like everything else I have done so far is boring in comparison. HA! Im stoked!

Oh and...

Happy Halloween!

I was Alice (from Wonderland) last night at a Halloween par-tay. It was quite the hit.

Times

my love is over, its underneath, its inside, its in between
the times you doubt me, when you can't feel
the times that you've questioned 'is this for real?'
the times you've broken, the times that you mend
the times you hate me and the times that you bend
well my love is over, its underneath, its inside, its in between,
these times you're healing and when your heart breaks
the times that you feel like you've fallen from grace
the times you're hurting, the times that you heal
the times you go hungry and are tempted to steal
in times of confusion and chaos and pain
im there in your sorrow under the weight of your shame
im there through your heartache, im there in the storm
my love i will keep you by my power alone
i dont care where you've fallen, where you have been
i'll never forsake you, my love never ends

gorgeous

heavy

Can't sleep. Borderline nauseous. Just one of those days I guess. A lot of times, I think I have this uncanny ability (if you could call it that) to feel. When people in my life are stressing or having a momentary lapse of faith, I feel it in the pit of my stomach. I guess my best description for the feeling is "heavy". The heaviness has been around for a few days. I wonder what's up.

Thought of the Day

David Crowder Band "How He Loves"

thought these were beautiful words!

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
