Wisdom + Nonsense

When I was a little girl
I read fairy tales
and wondered if they could happen to me
Now I see this is my once upon a time
I am the daughter of a king
and with every choice that I make
I write the next page


I don't know all the twists and the turns
but my journey is clear
I'm a child of infinite worth
there's a reason I'm here
I'll follow the path that's before me
this is my story


There are days when it seems
the road in front of me
is falling apart and I can't find my way
But I learn how to rely
on the burning light
that I have within me
and I find faith to move forward
until I can see just where it leads

I don't know all the twists and the turns

but my journey is clear

I'm a child of infinite worth

there's a reason I'm here

I'll follow the path that's before me

this is my story

Through every chapter my Father's love

helps me know who I am

My ever after is a beautiful part

of His bigger plan 

I don't know all the twists and the turns

but my journey is clear

I'm a child of infinite worth

there's a reason I'm here

I'll follow the path that's before me

This is My Story

This is one of the songs on the EFY 2012 soundtrack and I absolutely love it. It is literally the theme song of my life right now. I'm taking everything one day at a time and not trying to see this whole picture. I was talking to my sister Emily this week about this poem, and it reminded me that I too need to not try so hard to see the finished product and trust the threads that are being woven today. 

In other, more casual news: On Friday I took care of a sweet baby girl at work, and her parents were eating Cafe Rio in the room. Basically the entire pod I was working on was perfumed with Essence of Cafe Rio, and it was killing me. So I got myself a tostada the next day to eat on my lunch break and it was heavenly. This story is insignificant in every way except for the fact that I want another tostada right now. 

Also, Camp Hawkins is a week long summer camp for kids with heart defects, and they are looking for a lifeguard for their camp this year. I did it last year and loved it, but because of work I can't this year. It is the last week of June, if you know of any lifeguards looking for volunteer hours/fun times PLEASE pass the word along.  Click here to learn more. 

And, I never thought I would be saying it this soon, but I miss Provo. Of course I'm looking at it through rose colored glasses because I've been away for a few months, but I miss it. I miss summer time in Provo and the happy/busy feeling in the WILK and the late nights playing cards or being silly and being able to walk to Jamba Juice and a free gym pass and how the air smells like productivity and potential. I am super grateful to not be in school right now, though. 

Report over. 

Now for some memes.
