Day 108: We have to choose joy and keep choosing it. Henri J.M. Nouwen.

Feeling grateful for how this week has been fairly productive.

Focusing on what is ahead.

Trying to get into a healthy routine.

Pinning recipes and projects on Pinterest.

Making new friends on Instagram and feeling so blessed.

Choosing to be thankful for all the good things, despite how uncertain other things are.

Thankful for the reminder and promise not to worry.

Exploring new things.

Trusting.

Remembering to choose joy.

Whatever you do, do it good.

Look Up / Carlo Mussett

Spring break was such a nice breather, albeit a little too short.

But I’ve spent this past week dealing with some unexpected curve balls, remembering to have faith, and trusting that everything will work out.

Dealing with things completely out of my control can be so scary, but such a good reminder that He is so much bigger than I am. And as I look up, He shows me His reality in so many little ways.

So I’m pressing on through this week, because He’ll get me through.

I hope the rest of your week is amazing x.

Remembering this quote today as I do my best to stay on top of things, despite how crazy busy it has been.

It’s one of those weeks where I feel like I don’t have enough hours in a day to complete my endless to-do list. So I’m just trying to stay focused and work at getting stuff done.

And as soon as this busyness eases, I’ll be back. Promise.

It’s Monday and things around here are back to the full routine after the long Chinese New Year weekend.

But oh February, you’re going to be something great.

Hello to celebrating love and the things that matter most. Hello, new ideas and creativity. Hello, catching up on Project Life and documenting life. Hello, new friends and adjusting back to routines. Hello to making the most of the shortest month of the year.

Hello, February – let’s make you swell.

I haven’t done one of these Right Now posts in awhile, so I thought I’d jump back onto it!

Thankful for catch-up sessions with friends.

Itching to play and put my Project Life spreads together.

Trying to focus and get work done.

Making plenty of to-do lists.

Staying busy.

Reminding myself to breathe amidst all the work + stress.

Loving that Project Life is pushing me to capture life’s little moments.

Learning to embrace all that life throws at me.

Being positive.

Live every day with intention.

Only one more day to the weekend! xx

Have a little faith

After being sick on the first day of school this week, and dealing with the worry of delayed/lost/missing school books (I still don’t know which!), it’s comforting + reassuring to know that things will always work out. Somehow. 

And all you need is to have a little faith that things will be okay.
Even when things don’t according to plan.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

Reminding myself to keep going.

More than a little excited that Christmas break is less than a month away!

A little apprehensive about how I’m going to make it through the next couple of weeks.

But plodding on anyway.

Trying to stay focused.

Enjoying our Christmas decorations that just went up last night!

Needing words to get started on my essay + paper due this week.

Excited for the weekend. As always.

Getting inspired by watching Becky Higgins talk about Project Life and scrapbooking on Creative Live!

And so thankful for replays that let me watch while it’s actually daylight over here.

The secret to getting ahead is getting started.

Only one more day to the weekend!

I hope the rest of your week is crazy productive.
Like how I hope mine will be.

Choosing not to let myself be overwhelmed by all the things I need to do but don’t have enough time for.

Embracing the rain + cool weather.

Staying warm despite the rain.

So, so thankful for God-given friendships.

Eagerly anticipating the weekend.

Plodding on to the end of the week.

Persevering to the end of the term.

Really needing a break, pronto.

But counting down the weeks until Christmas break(!!!)

Getting into the Christmas holiday spirit.

Still a little bit in disbelief that it’s almost halfway through November and 42 DAYS until Christmas!

Reminding myself to dare to dream BIG.

I hope your week’s been some kind of fabulous xx.

Lately, the truth of this quote has truly resonated with me.

I really feel like I need more hours in a day – more hours to spend time with people I love, make creative fun stuff, go to places, and check off things to do (like writing blog posts). On a side note, I actually have an entire backlog of posts I need to finish writing and post. I’m getting on it, I promise.

But anyhow, while the number of hours in a day stays the same, I’ll try to make every minute of it worthwhile and productive.

Here’s to right priorities and mind-blowing productivity!
Happy Wednesday – I hope your week has been super duper so far (:

Beginning with Mondays

To be honest, I haven’t come up with a complete makeover plan for this blog. It’s all still kind of up in the air and whatnot. But I missed being around here too much that I decided to (officially) come back anyway. After all, this space (as with most things in life) is still a work in progress.

This semester is proving to be pretty crazy busy. Four classes and tons and tons of reading. I’m not even kidding. But that’s what college life is all about, isn’t it?

So despite the piles of reading and assignments that need to get done, I’m starting the week reminding myself, Small steps every day.

Beginning with today.

And as my philosophy professor says, I should handle all this work like how I would eat an elephant – one bite at a time. Uh-huh.

Here’s to a super-productive and nothing-less-than-amazing week! (:
