Just a thought.

Maybe we don't have to wear ourselves out chasing after the right person.
Run hard after God and then look around and see who's running beside you.

hello people!

happy day after fourth of july.

it's gorgeous here in chicago today! :)

anyway, i have a prayer request, if you don't mind. you may or may not know that literally nobody else in my family is christian, and it's something that i've kinda been pushing out of my mind for the past month or so. i keep doing my own thing and going to church but my family and i just don't talk about religion because it's just easier that way.

this past week, my mom's best friend from college came to visit us with her family from michigan. i was amazed to find out that they attend church over there with their entire family, and pretty ecstatic when she started telling my mom about church and how good it is and how awesome it is to see everyone united in one under god. (she started talking about this because i'd gone to church and come home today, all while they were talking over brunch). it gave me hope that maybe my mom would listen to her, her best friend from college, and maybe just open up her mind.

after our guests left, i was disappointed, then, when i started telling my mom, "i would take you to harvest (my church right now) but it's in english, so i don't know if you'll understand..." and she interrupted me and said, "that's okay. i'm not that interested."

to be honest, it felt like i got shut down by a person again while telemarketing --" but it's okay. if you could keep me and my family in mind, i would really appreciate it. thaaaanks!
