justine in real life

Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry

Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

†: Reason, Season, or Lifetime ›

nonelikejesus:

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to…

Everybody needs to be encouraged, including you. Keep doing the best you can, you’ve got what it takes and you are going to make it. Remember to encourage others to pursue their own dreams. Build each other up, encouragement is important.

It looks like I’ll definitely be moving away in the fall now. I’m not sure where yet, but I’ll be finding out in a couple of weeks hopefully. I’ve been working on transfer applications in addition to trying to keep up with everything else that’s going on. It’s been a difficult semester (which I really didn’t plan on) but I only have a month left, so I’m going to work hard and make the most of it. And then after that, I’ll only have a month here before I leave for two months to live in Russia for the summer. (At the same time, my boyfriend will be probably moving to wherever his job is located at, and then when I return in August I’ll be moving there as well, and starting school right after. That is, if all goes according to plan, which hopefully it will.) I’ll have so much to do the month before I leave - preparing for my trip, raising money/working, hopefully a lot of adventures/fun times with friends, etc. I’m really not afraid of leaving anymore, or leaving things behind, because I know that I have people here that will always love me and I’ll always have a home to come back to. But it’s time for a fresh start and new adventures, and I think I’m ready for it.

Everything is changing so fast, and I’m doing my best to keep up with it all and just go with my intuition to make the right decisions, and have faith that everything will work out.

Be patient. God knows what He’s doing. God knows what is best for you. He can see the end result. You can’t. All those problems, heartaches, difficulties and delays — all the things that make you ask “why” — one day it will all be clear in the light of God’s love.

beginning with abraham, god has called people to leave a familiar place, set out in a new direction, put the past behind, face unknown hazards, get to a point of desperation, call out for help, and look forward to something or someone better.
