F: clearly, i like psalms

i would just like to take a moment to reflect on how much i HATE getting sunburn on my back. anything that touches it - my bed, the back of a chair, a purse, a shirt - kills. and i have to get someone else to put my vitamin e on it which gets awkward. my poor little white skin just does not get along with the summer sun.

in better news, my twentieth birthday is in three days, i've gotten to see nearly all my rockford buddies so far, and i finally settled on an idea for my next tattoo. fun stuff.

last night i went to the starbucks with little hannakin so she could have some time out of the house. (this guy suggested i get a coconut mocha which was real tasty, by the way. :] ) and talking with hanna led us to reflect on the greatness of God. He is so big, like how psalm 139 says His characteristics are just "too lofty for me to attain." and God is so good. psalm 34:8 reads "taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him."or psalm 146:9: "the Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made." these verses are so true; God has been so good to me. and it's simply amazing how He turns our weaknesses into good by His power. i can really identify with psalm 30:11 that says "You turned my wailing into dancing; You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy." and after noticing this, i can't help but do what is often repeated throughout the psalms and "give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." it's always so uplifting to be reminded of the awesomeness of God. now, if He could just miraculously take away this sunburn, i would be one extra happy girl. ;]
