Over the past year, heck, even the past month (let's not reach too big too soon, right?), I feel as though I've aged about ten years.<br />
<br />
I can hear the eye rolls from here, people.<br />
<br />
It's true. I believe that everyone walks through times in their life that serve as a real maturing season. For some people, this might be their whole life, for others - maybe it's only a day or two.<br />
<br />
I'm not quite sure where I land on that spectrum. But I will say that I feel as though 2019 was my "life slaps on your big girl panties for you", year. Sounds weird, I know.<br />
<br />
As I've said before, this blog has become my safe space. A space where I can share with whoever is out there, (probably just my mom and sister in laws, let's be real) a bit of my journey and all that I have or haven't learned.<br />
<br />
Now those of you who maybe don't know me quite that well (hugely assuming that I have some huge following or something - which I know I don't)...I am very much a verbal processor. I've often wondered if on my many coffee dates that I go on with friends, if anyone ever thinks "yeesh...this girl talks a big talk, and she makes it sound like she's the world's wisest sage".<br />
<br />
Now, a few things: I can guarantee you no one actually think of me as an old wise sage, and I can probably bet that people don't even think that hard about what I do or don't say.<br />
<br />
But my point being, there are many times where, as I'm talking, it's as if I'm the other person on the other side of the table, or couch, or wherever I am, listening to this person talk.<br />
<br />
I've been doing a lot of thinking about how the Lord speaks to me, lately. And to be quite honest, sometimes I think he speaks to me through my own words. Sounds weird, I know. Sounds conceded, trust me, I know.<br />
<br />
But hear me out.<br />
<br />
You know those out of body moments, where time and space just seem super weird, and you feel like for a moment, you live in an alternate reality? (hopefully someone out there knows what I'm talking about)<br />
<br />
That's kind of what happens during my conversations sometimes. It's as if I'm talking about my issues, or things I've learned, but instead of this being the thousandth time I talk or think about it, it's the first time I've heard this, and it almost becomes like I'm giving myself advice.<br />
<br />
Now that was all a huge rabbit trail to just let you know that this will probably be one of those times.<br />
So before we get into it, here is a picture of happy place #1.<br />

<br />
<br />
Let's call it like it is: sometimes life sucks.<br />
<br />
Everything goes wrong, everything is miserable, and nothing brings you joy.<br />
<br />
I just walked through that season.<br />
So here's a few things I learned from walking through that season:<br />
<br />
1. Cry<br />
<br />
Honestly, I think crying is so overrated. During this season, I made up a good "Shower Songs" playlist, that I would blast while in the shower, and I would just weep. Sob. Uncontrollably. And to be honest, it was such a release. I would keep it together for my kiddos at the dance studio, and then I would get in the car and instantly release everything I was holding back. And I think that honestly made the process quicker.<br />
<br />
2. It's okay to eat your feelings sometimes<br />
<br />
This sounds terrible, I know. But hey. Sometimes, it's what's healthiest for you. For me, if I had starved myself, or gone on some crazy diet, I wouldn't have allowed myself to truly grieve. But for me personally, I gave myself freedom to do whatever was going to allow me to feel what I needed to feel.<br />
<br />
3. But then, you have to pick yourself and do Whole30<br />
<br />
Again, this is all just what I learned. After eating my feelings, once my mind was starting to heal, it was time for my body to follow. I just finished Whole30 this past month, and although it isn't about loosing weight, I lost around 20 pounds. But it wasn't even just the pounds that I lost. I felt as if I had lost about 200 pounds because of how much lighter I felt. That simple act of making a conscious decision to eat healthier, helped my mind follow suit.<br />
<br />
Let's pause here to say a few things, and to show you a picture.<br />
Weight loss is not the point of whole30, and that is not why I did it. I show this picture, and share this bit to encourage you that sometimes healthy looks different. Because on the left, that was a different version of healthy. That was a healthy where I wasn't obsessing over my body, and I was just making sure I was surviving. But on the right, is a different kind of healthy where I felt lighter not only in weight, but in my mindset, in my spiritual walk with the Lord, and in gosh so many other different ways.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Moving on....</div>
<br />
<br />
4. Cry, Scream, Fight, and Plead with the Lord<br />
<br />
Y'all...I can't even tell you how many times I yelled and cursed at the Lord. I begged for answers, begged for my circumstances to change, for Him to take away the pain and hurt and betrayal I felt. I had fits of crying and not being able to breath. I had nights where I had to clutch my chest because it hurt so bad, and I felt as if I was at the hem of the Lord's cloak, begging and pleading, and He was just standing there. If there was a hidden camera in my car, you would all genuinely believe I was out of my mind.<br />
<br />
5. But God shows up<br />
<br />
Even though there were so many times I felt like the Lord wasn't there, or He didn't care, or He was causing all of this suffering, He showed up. I would have a wretched night, but then would force myself to church, or to community group, or I would force myself to confide in a friend, and He showed up. In so many different ways. And it was honestly incredible to be a part of.<br />
<br />
6. Do Fun Things<br />
<br />
Once you start to get a better grip on yourself (and even sometimes when you don't have a grip), allow yourself to laugh, to go have fun, to enjoy something. Joy can sometimes feel like a chore. And honestly, sometimes it is. But when you let yourself laugh at a joke, in the midst of a cry fest, it breaks a bit of that bondage that you have been suffering. I started to be okay with doing things by myself. I had tried so many times to do this throughout the past three years, but it never felt good. But now it was just me and the Lord. And it felt so peaceful to just dwell on the fact that I was allowed to have fun by myself, and I could enjoy my own company.<br />
<br />
Some fun things:<br />

7. Find Happy Places. And if you can't find any, MAKE THEM.<br />
<br />
I won't tell a lie. I do not like the town I live in. It feels very dark, and I realized that I had a lot of painful memories attached to it, and I just wanted out. But, #LeaseAgreements<br />
So I CHOSE to make my room my happy place. And now, I love it. Sometimes, I don't even want to leave my room because it makes me so happy. (but that's a whole other can of worms, so I usually make sure to leave my room at some point)<br />
I have a lot of random places around the area that I like to frequent, and I labeled them my happy places, which made me frequent them more often, because I knew I needed some warmth and happiness in my day to day life. <br />

8. PEOPLE ARE JUST THE BEST<br />
<br />
I cannot stress this enough.<br />
Reach out to your friends. Friends from a long time ago, lifelong friends, new friends, random friends, and all of the rest.<br />
And when you have a family that supports and loves you, thank them. Love them, let them love you, and don't feel bad about it. And be like Rory Gilmore and say "I need my mommy, and dammit I don't care who knows it" - because GOD BLESS MY MOTHER. That could be a whole blog post in itself.<br />
<br />
9. It is okay to have rough days<br />
<br />
The past month has been such a great month, but I have moments and days that are rough. And that is okay. Not every day is going to be great. You may have a new disappointment that crops up, and it's alright to be upset about it. It's okay to cry because of past hurt. Sometimes you need a day to watch Gilmore Girls and get too emotional and end up balling your eyes out and then laughing at yourself for getting so caught up in fake people's lives. This phrase has become such a solace for me recently: "It's okay to not be okay". If Jesus had rough days where He wept, I think we're allowed to have rough days.<br />
<br />
10. But then keep going<br />
<br />
Life is such a wonderful journey. If we let our circumstances and past hurts keep us in bondage going forward, we will never experience the fullness of life that we are supposed to. So yes, life sucks sometimes. But we have a new chance every single day. So maybe it's time for us to leave our past in the past, and walk forward in faith that today is a new day, and a new chance for a new life.<br />
<br />
Because that's what Jesus promises. His mercies and new EVERY MORNING.<br />
That means that even if you screwed up yesterday, walk in a new light today!<br />
<br />
So my life right now consists of taking each day as it comes. Because if you try to look back, or look too far forward, you will get overwhelmed. Instead, maybe try getting coffee at Red Twig, and resting in the fact that today is today, and that's that.<br />
<br />
Because sometimes that's how simple life is. And sometimes, that's all you can take.<br />
<br />
With all the caffeine and lightness in the world,<br />
the girl who is just here for the coffee and Jesus, right here, right now.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); color: white; font-size: 26px;"><b>This blog has become my safe space. A space where I can be vulnerable, honest, and truly myself while also possibly talking myself through my life issues. This is the place where if you want to know the inner workings of my mind, you’ll find them. The place where most of the time, I don’t have censors. So if you don’t want to know what’s going on in my head, if you’re about to judge where I’m at in my life, my healing process, my anything else, I beg you to please, kindly leave my safe space to be. I want others to come into my space and feel safe as well, to know that there’s no judgement from me, or anyone else, because we’re all just trying to learn. So for a very vulnerable look into my life, please read on. </b></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(68, 68, 68); color: white; font-size: 26px;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 22px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 3px;">
<span class="s1" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: white;">There’s a time in everyone’s life where it’s easy to say “I wish I were them”. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">Especially with the culture we live in now. It’s all about posting your best moments. Sharing the highlights of your life. No one’s going to want to know the low lights. So we back off of social media when we’re at our lowest point. When we’ve experienced the worst heartbreak. When we can’t scroll through our phone without being so encapsulated by the jealousy of engagements and weddings and happy couples. We’re told by our friends and family that you just need time to heal. You just need to live each day as it comes. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">We’re told over and over again that people only post their best life on social media. But you can’t help and feel like you have no “best life” to share. Because your heart is broken. Your spirit has been crushed. Your mind is nothing but chaos. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">But then you remember that you’re human. And you try to have grace with yourself. Only to melt onto the shower floor hoping the hot water will burn your pain away. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">Heartache is hard. It’s painful. It’s disgusting. It’s irreversible. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">But it’s in those moments where we choose to be better. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">We have to choose in the deepest moments of despair to not let our world be taken away from us. To remember to keep doing things we love. To remember it’s okay to be vulnerable to our friends and family and weep because it hurts so much. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">These are the moments where character is made. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">Realizing that you’re human and it’s okay to hurt, is one of the best things you can do for yourself. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">Cooping up in bed for a day is sometimes healthy. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">But then being able to sit and cry in front of your friends is healthy too. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">In these moments where your world feels like it will never be happy again, is where you’re reminded that life is beautiful. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">Because if you didn’t love hard enough to break down when that love is gone, you haven’t lived. The temptation to hate relationships gone wrong, is strong. Especially when other people’s opinions are in the air. But realizing that each person has taught you something about love, and life, is key. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">Yes, you may never be the same. But think of how much you’ve grown and learned because of heartache; because of loss. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">Love is a gift. When it’s gone it’s hard, and it hurts like hell. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">But isn’t it better we loved and learned, than never loved at all? </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">I don’t pretend to have answers. Especially since it’s hard to find any answers in mourning. But there’s something so powerful about love. And sometimes all you can do is rest in the fact that nothing happens on accident. Nothing is in vain. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">No one ever said love was easy. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">But then again, no one can ever prepare you for how hard the loss of it is. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">So for now, rest in the fact that others have mourned. Others have lost love. But in the end, when you finally are loved as much as you have loved, it will hopefully all be worth it. </span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">Or at least here’s hoping. </span></span></div>
<div class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">With the biggest ounce of love she can muster,</span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s2"><span style="color: white;">The girl who’s determined to not give up on love. </span></span></div>

<br />
Some of my church go-ing followers (if I even have followers) are probably thinking "*gasp*! barely any clothes?! good gracious dear, you should go back to church".<br />
<br />
I hear you, but that's not what it's like.<br />
<br />
I hate spending time alone. I love people. And if I could, I would be around people constantly.<br />
<br />
But I'm trying to learn how to be alone so that other people in my life who DO need their alone time, can actually have that without me smothering them to death.<br />
<br />
Wow Anna, dramatic.<br />
<br />
Always.<br />
<br />
So here's my day in a nutshell.<br />
<br />
I woke up wanting to stay in bed and mope all day because I didn't want to be alone all day.<br />
<br />
But 10:30am rolled around and I decided that I was going to try and enjoy myself today.<br />
<br />
So I went to church alone.<br />
<br />
Now, like I said earlier. I hate being alone. But I've gone to church alone before. And it's not the worst thing. But it's not very fun when you wish you were going to church with someone. But hey. We aren't called to live in our comfort zones, right? So I bucked up. Chatted with a few people. Ended up really liking the church, and the message was great.<br />
<br />
Success #1<br />
<br />
But on the way home, I started to mope again. But it was a BEAUTIFUL day out, so I decided I would go on a walk.<br />
<br />
I almost didn't take my headphones. But boy, am I glad I did.<br />
<br />
Today was literally sponsored by The Lumineers. I was telling a friend the other day that their music is the kind that makes you want to hop in a convertible, drive along the coast with a cool hat, cool friends, and end up at some great beach, and end your day with a bonfire and beer and cool people. So basically, you want to be in every Indie music video ever.<br />
<br />
Anywho. I went on a walk to a coffee shop. Still mopey. Sat there for a bit. But my dirty chai cheered me up, as they always do. And as The Spotted Cow always does.<br />
<br />
I then took my coffee and walked on. Now. For a while, it was pretty depressing. All of these couples were walking, holding hands, laughing, goofing around, having a blast with each other. And I kept thinking that that was all I wanted to do. I kept thinking about how much I hated being alone, and how I just wish I had someone with me.<br />
<br />
But something happened as I kept walking. Call me dumb, but I'm one of those people who, if it's sunny, will walk for a bit with eyes closed and feel the sun beat down on me (super movie scene like with my cool music in my headphones). And as I did that, I suddenly felt great. Maybe it was the Vitamin D kicking in, because hey - it's Washington in "winter". But I all of the sudden, was so inspired. I started enjoying myself.<br />
<br />
I felt independent. I felt fine with me and my thoughts. I started to happily plan what all I could do today. And thus began my day.<br />
<br />
When I got back to my apartment, my mail had come! Now, I recently went out on a limb and chose to hear out one of those Instagram girls who sell all of those health products and such. So...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So let's see how this goes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So feeling all cool and what not, I decided that it was time to sell a few things I had been meaning to sell for quite a while. So I went down to my garage, and set up a staging area. It was pretty decent, for a blanket in a garage. I put a whole mess of things on Offer Up, and I ended up selling one of them today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So that was a major success. My roomie is going to be thrilled when she sees that's gone. On top of that, I consolidated my stuff in the garage, and put some more stuff away, and now we can use our garage (again - the roomie will be ecstatic).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So then, I decided it was time for me to make myself a drink.</div>

Anna, you mentioned at the beginning you were naked all day, and you haven't said anything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Guys, come on - I wasn't naked. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's the thing. After I got my thermofight, I of course had to take before pictures, and as I took them, I thought. Okay. You know what. It's hot today, and I'm just gonna go with the whole confidence thing today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you seen those posts or articles about "power poses"? Well, that's a real thing. I even did a few power poses in my booty shorts and sports bra, while sweating just from bringing two boxes up from the garage. (I'm out of shape, alright?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I went for it. And I shamelessly loved it. I felt great. I was getting so much done, I wasn't all self conscious about what I looked like, cause who cared? I was alone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So then here comes the cooking. I got out a cookbook to get me inspired. And. </div>

<div>
I'm not even gonna try and be humble. I was impressed with this one. Homemade mac n' cheese (from no recipe, it's no big deal), lemon garlic chicken, and onions. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is something so powerful about homemade meals that take time, but there's absolutely no rush in making it. This whole process took forever, because partway into making the peppers (wait - there's no peppers. I know...we'll get to that in a second), there's a knock on my door. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
BUT ANNA YOU'RE ALONE!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chill out guys. It's Mill Creek, on a Sunday afternoon, on a really sunny day.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Turns out it was some people wanting to talk to me about Jesus. So I thought, yeah alright, let's chat. It ended up being a really frustrating conversation. I'm trying to be a lot better about not judging people, and seeing things from others' perspectives. And let me tell you. Apparently the Lord was like, alright Anna let's give you a lesson in this today. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They were decently pleasant people. And honestly, I could see where they were coming from. I was trying to understand what their thoughts were, and where they were getting their theology from. There were a few points where I definitely thought their Bible was making up some things. But it was actually neat because a few things that the pastor had talked about in church this morning, ended up coming up in conversation. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I tried to not be judgmental, and tried to listen. But I also wanted to try and communicate what I believe. Well. They weren't too happy with that. They ended up telling me I wasn't going to Heaven because I celebrate Easter, and because I take communion instead of ONLY celebrating the Passover, because if you drink wine and eat bread in that manner any other time than the Passover, you're sinning and you aren't following Jesus, and aren't getting into Heaven. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not exaggerating. They had a few other quirky things, but I was trying to point out the true message of the gospel story. That Jesus came to wipe out our transgressions. That legalism isn't right. But that I could understand where they were coming from. But they just told me I was wrong and wasn't going to Heaven, and so I need to think about it and contact them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So honestly, that was frustrating. I knew I should have prayed for them, but I was too upset, and it wouldn't have come across in the right heart. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So that took a while. Like. A while. So my peppers burn to a crisp.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anywho. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
After I finished cooking, I allowed myself to watch one episode of Friends while eating.<br />
<br />
Then I cleaned everything. Re-organized my room.<br />
<br />
And then. I finished all my choreographing. Which I should have done forever ago. But I told myself that by 8pm, everything I HAD to do, needed to be done.<br />
<br />
And guys. I did it.<br />
<br />
I even took a new picture for my blog!<br />
<br />
So I learned today that being alone is okay. Healthy even. And now maybe I can stop smothering people with my constant need for love and attention.<br />
<br />
Maybe.<br />
<br />
<br />
So to my extroverts out there: alone time every once in a while is actually really good.<br />
<br />
It's refreshing. You get a lot done (if you want to). And who knows! Maybe I'll go to bed early tonight!<br />
<br />
HA<br />
<br />
It's already 10pm, and I still have to watch AT LEAST one episode of Friends.<br />
<br />
Priorities.<br />
<br />
And a book length blog post later...<br />
<br />
Maybe I'll actually be better at blogging if I have all this alone time...<br />
<br />
With all the accomplishments,<br />
the girl who's learning to not be afraid of time with her own thoughts<br />
<br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Here’s what I’ve learned so far as a retired 23 year old dancer:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Nothing. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Here’s why:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">There’s no possible way to cope with your entire identity being changed after 13 years. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">As short as 13 years is in the dancing world, it’s still a long time. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">To have your entire being and everything you associate yourself with, be stripped away from you. That’s not something that is easily coped with. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">But here’s what I’ve learned from learning nothing. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">It affects everything. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Your job. Your mental state. Your well being. Your eating habits. Your friendships. Your relationships. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">There’s no way to pretend it didn’t happen. To think it away. To wish it away. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Here’s how I’ve been coping so far:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">I’ve been wishing and pretending my problems away. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">The result? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">It’s blown up in my face. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Now you’re probably thinking. Alright Anna, use this as one more excuse for why you’re an emotional hot mess. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">No. This isn’t an excuse. This excuses nothing. My behavior is my own fault. I take full blame. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">This is an explanation to myself. To anyone else who has struggled with this same thing - or anything that could possibly relate. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">You’re not the world’s worst person. Yeah we have our moments. But it’s okay to be going through a difficult time. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">But hey. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">This is our issue. The people around us. The people around me. They don’t deserve to have my shit be piled on them. They deserve the love that you have to give. And yes, maybe some days that’s barely any. But holding any of that love that you have inside of you in...I’m here to tell myself that that’s not right. It’s not humane. It’s not Godly. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">So now the issue lies with what to do next. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">You know. Here’s hoping that you have surrounded yourself with people who love you despite your yuck, and will do anything to help you become a better version of yourself. Because in doing that, you’re going to be committing to do the same for them. And that’s beautiful. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">These are the things that make life okay. When you hit rock bottom, you screw up so bad that you don’t know if it’s fixable, you don’t know how to eat like a normal person (that one might just be me...), you don’t know how to love people well without kicking them in the crotch accidentally, and you just generally suck at life. That point in your life is where you get to choose. You have two ways you can go. You can pretend everything is fine, keep chugging along, and hope everything heals itself. Or you can admit what a piece of garbage you are sometimes. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">I know, I know. Geez Anna...cheery pick me up. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">But honestly. These are the moments we get to choose to be brave. To be humble. To grow. To keep morphing into that person we know we can become. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">And that is the beauty of life. That we don’t stay stagnant. We don’t have to be stuck in a mess. We can buck up, admit we failed, slap on a new dress or what have you, and start a new adventure. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">That’s all this is. An adventure. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">And let’s pause for a hot second. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Ask yourself honestly. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Can you screw up an adventure? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">No. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">There it is again - “Anna. Of course you can. There’s so many things that could go wrong. Blah blah blah...” </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">No, think about it. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Yeah. Things can go wrong on adventures. But isn’t that the best part? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: white;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">

These past 6 months, maybe even more, have been some of the hardest months of my life. There were so many days of breaking into tears, getting angry for no apparent reason, tearing apart friendships because I wanted to tear something apart, yelling at God, crying out of frustration, banging my steering wheel while going on long drives and weeping and screaming. It wasn't pretty.<br />
And I would like to tell you how I came out having learned so much about patience, and mercy, and love, and joy in the midst of pain.<br />
And yeah, maybe I did learn a bit. But I can't tell you that. I think I came out an uglier mess than I was when I went in.<br />
But here's what I have learned.<br />
The Lord gives you people. And not how you expected.<br />
He gives you friends who listen to you cry and rant and seethe, and have to walk away for a bit before they can come back and love the crap out of you.<br />
He gives you friends who speak the cold hard truth over you.<br />
He gives you a boyfriend who is so willing to talk things through with you, but who also knows the perfect ways to distract you and make you a happy that you forgot you could be.<br />
They say the Lord works in mysterious ways.<br />
Man.<br />
They're right.<br />
Because if someone came up to me and asked me what the Lord has been teaching me these past few months. I might just stare blankly at them for a hot second before making up some christian answer.<br />
Don't judge me.<br />
You know you've done it once or twice.<br />
But it's the truth.<br />
I've hit a wall.<br />
I faked it for a bit.<br />
Said the Christian answer to some friends. Cried and vented to other friends.<br />
But here's the ugly truth.<br />
I haven't learned much.<br />
Sure, I've learned some.<br />
I've learned that dance has become my identity. I've learned that every system is flawed. I've learned that what you grow up being taught, might end up flying out some window somewhere. I've learned that all people are flawed, no matter how perfect you may think they are. I've learned that love is ugly sometimes.<br />
Now, you're looking at that list, thinking I've learned all the wrong things.<br />
You're not wrong.<br />
In fact. Welcome to my last few months.<br />
So what's the point in all this?<br />
Here's my point.<br />
Life is ugly.<br />
Life is hard.<br />
But God is still God. He is still good. He is still sovereign in every situation. Whether we see it or not.<br />
And to continue with my brutal honesty. There are alot of days where I have a very hard time believing that God is sovereign in everything.<br />
I thought I was called to dance, but have been dancing injured and broken for quite some time, so where is God in that?<br />
I honestly don't know.<br />
But He's there. Being God. Not letting me fall completely.<br />
How? Because He gives me people. He gives me little reminders.<br />
Like when I'm told that my identity isn't just a dancer, to someone I deeply care about. When I'm told that no matter where life takes me, I always have the support and love of my deepest and truest friends. When I'm reminded that whether I believe it every day or not, the Lord works for the good of His people who love and follow Him.<br />
So yeah.<br />
I'm a mess.<br />
But I'm a mess with a support system.<br />
So maybe I haven't learned some profound Christian truth.<br />
But I've learned a good deal of random life truths.<br />
And I think that to me, and to God, that's okay for now.<br />
<br />
With all the messes in the world,<br />
the girl who isn't really learning all too much.<br />

About two years, actually.<br />
But here's some thoughts as I sit on an uncomfy pew, with a broken back, a troubled heart, and quite honestly, a non willing spirit to try and take this dance class in fear that I will fail again.<br />
But.<br />
Here goes.<br />
<br />
I cannot change people. I can only change myself. It's not up to me to upkeep both my relationship with the Lord, and other people's relationship with the Lord. I need to focus on my walk with the Lord, and my discipleship to the Lord. That's my goal. That's my aim. For ME to be more like Jesus. Yes, I am to make disciples. But not disciples of me. Disciples of Jesus. It's my goal to point others to Jesus. And if I'm trying to fix everyone, that's not what is going to be accomplished. The Lord corrects. I can be a mouthpiece for His correction. But it is not my job to correct. I can pray for people. But not out of a selfish and arrogant spirit. It has to be done out of love. And not worldly love. The love that Jesus has for us. That is the same love that I am to love others with. The same love I am to pray for them with. The same love I am to correct them with, if the Lord so chooses to use me as His mouthpiece. I cannot do anything of my own will. I cannot get a job solely because of me. If I get a job because of my personality-the Lord created me. If I get a job because of my past experiences- the Lord's favor. I cannot figure out housing on my own, and in my own strength. If I even figure it out, it is because the Lord is my provider, and my shelter. It is not my job to get through life. My life goal is to rely on Jesus, to love Him with everything I am, to show Him to others through my life. And trying to change people is the opposite of that. That's not me loving them. That's not me relying on Jesus. He is refining me. And that is what I am to focus on. I cannot tell other people how to live. As soon as I do that, I am living life with a selfish and arrogant goal: to change people into the person I want them to be. But that's not what the Lord wants for them. The Lord wants them to be like Him. Afterall. He is perfect. I am not.<br />
<br />
So now the question of if I am ready to take on this lesson. If I am ready to accept people for who they are, and to not get offended if they do not do what I think they should do. I read a Myers Briggs "what people wish your personality type would stop doing" As an ISFP, mine was "to stop taking everything so. Damn. Personally." I asked my roommate if that was true. She tried to beat around the bush, and say not always-the sweet thing. God Bless her soul. As I laid in bed and thought about it, ai realized it was true. And I think that part of that is because I want people to change. Which is so wrong. That is the most unloving, un-Christ like thing to do. So will I trust in the Lord, and trust that He is changing me, and that is all I should focus on? To this I cannot say anything but: challenge accepted.<br />
<br />
Lord help me.<br />

<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
It's a hard concept,
love. A hard thing to accept. </div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Love has always been
a part of my life of course, because my family is just the absolute best, and
despite what life heaves in our direction, love has always remained. However in
relationships, love has not been my number one fan.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
For those of you who
do not intimately know me, I have had a few run ins with troublesome boys and
troublesome relationships with said boys. Now before you think anything, let me
assure you that it was probably only about 15% on them, if even at all. "What?"
well let's just say that my precious Jesus has saved me from myself and has
redeemed me. My younger self was not very focused on anything but boys,
therefore causing the want for love to consume my life. </div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
My roommate told me
of a quote that reads, "whatever you think about most, that's your
god" (sorry-I don't know who said that so I can't give proper rights, but
it wasn't me) So let's just say that my younger self…boys were my god. </div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
And I wish the story
ends here and I could say, "and then I grew up and everything was
fine" and everyone says "HA". If only right? But no. I have come
to realize that my view of love is quite very much so messed up. Yes. As messed
up as that sentence. I held on to so many boys for my view of myself, and then
they got too close and it scared me, and then somewhere in the mix, all the
emotions got tangled up and confused, and then bye-bye boy. And bye-bye my view
of love. Or so I thought, until the next mr god came along. And so went the
cycle.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
And not even just
for boys. The same with my friends. Things were always so messed up. I could
never get friendships or relationships right. </div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
But then something
happened.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I got to the point
that I had had enough, so I begged and pleaded with God for love.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
And so now I'm at
Paradosi.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
It's the strangest
thing. God constantly has to remind me that I can't shut myself off to what
He's doing in my life. He reminds me through His word, through songs, through
other people, through actions, through dancing, through worshipping.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
And I am so
grateful. Because let me tell you something that you probably already know if
you know me. I am not the easiest person to understand. I am one of the most
dramatic people you will probably meet (unless you know a lot of theatrical
people). And so therefore life with me is just a confusing mess of trying to
understand my moods swings. And God bless my sweet, sweet roommates and fellow
dancers. </div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Remember when I said
that thing about how God reminds me of the whole love thing? Let me tell you
something about my wonderful sisters (speaking of all the dancers of Paradosi).
Those girls are the most loving, forgiving people anyone will ever meet. Sometimes
I just sit and stare at them all and thank God for their freaking beautiful
hearts, and faces, and dancing.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>**side note: they are so absolutely beyond
gorgeous dancers, every single one of them. Like really. I sit in amazement a
lot because they're all so captivating**</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
"wait so why
are you going on this whole rant/tangent thing?"</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Simply because I am
amazed. Amazed at how much love they all have. I can't tell you how much of a
jerk I can be to them sometimes, and yet they look at me, give me my space
because they know I need it, and come to me later with a huge hug and a heart
full of love. It's ridiculous really. Ridiculous that someone can have that
much love for a person. I thought that was only reserved for parents because
they just love you no matter what. But this ministry that is my home has shown
me that there are people that care. That are capable of this kind of love. </div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
I have no doubt that
I was placed here in Washington state to be a part of this wonderful ministry
so that God could teach me about His love in a way that I never thought was
possible. I always thought that love came from boys, and that was the end all. But
life is so much more than that, and it has taken God bringing me away from
everything I thought I always wanted, into a place that He knew I truly, truly
wanted and needed.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
So I guess that's my
update on life. Yes, love is a hard concept. But because I actually listened to
what God wanted for my life, He is showing me that it's a reality to have love,
and to experience it daily in ways that you never thought possible. </div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">
With a simply amazed
heart,</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">

<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Anna Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02268815741018693118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976660859331637897.post-26964760473833088602015-02-28T10:54:00.003-08:002015-02-28T10:54:53.096-08:00Simply: LoveIt's been a while. But inspiration has struck.<br />
<br />
I saw this quote today that said:<br />
<br />
"I need you to love me a little louder today"<br />
<br />
That got me thinking. How many people is that their cry every day? Or maybe not every day, but most days.<br />
<br />
Alot of the time, I find myself taking offense of what other people say to me, but maybe they're just saying "i'm hurt and I need you to love me" and all i'm doing is hurting them more? I know i'm so guilty of this in my daily living, but it's been brought to my attention more and more lately. And whenever something crops up a ton in my life, if I really look at it, I think it's God tapping me gently on the shoulder and saying "Hey girly, pay attention, I'm trying to tell you something"<br />
<br />
How many times does the Bible tell us to simply love one another? How many times does Jesus Himself command us to love one another. At one point Jesus literally pulls some sarcasm in John 13:34 when He says, "a NEW command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."<br />
<br />
New? That's funny Jesus because you've said that about a billion and five times already.<br />
<br />
That's our goal as believers. He goes on in that verse to say, "By this, all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (vs. 35)<br />
<br />
How messed up has that become? Christians have become those who judge and condemn when something is wrong. Here's how I look at it. If you ask me what I think, I will tell you. But besides that (granted i'm trying my best to work on this and i'm failing utterly) the only thing I need to do is love you to the fullest. And who am I to judge? Anyone who knows me knows that I have many things that I need to work on, many things that I have done that I am not proud of, many things that don't show the love of Jesus. But i'm clean. I am pure because His blood has washed me. My sin is no more.<br />
<br />
And the same goes for every single person who accepts what Jesus has done for them. And as far as I know, you are a clean slate just as I am. By the grace of our precious Saviour, there is no condemnation. Therefore the most important things is love. "Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13<br />
<br />
Moral of the story: love. But also, (speaking to myself as well) when someone is lashing out on you, or acting in a way that you become hurt by their words, maybe they're saying "I need you to love me a little louder today"<br />
<br />
So love people. Joyce Meyer, in her sermon "A Battlefield for the Mind" at one point says, "When you've got a need, sow a seed; go do something for somebody else"<br />
<br />
Along with that, my roommate was saying that whenever she starts to pity herself and say to herself, "this person never does this for me, and that person doesn't do this for me ever" She goes and does it for them. When you've got that hole in you, someone else might have that same hole, but it's a pit. And by doing something for them, you're filling in their pit as well as your own.<br />
<br />
Let me leave you off with 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a<br />
"Love is patient, Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perserveres. Love NEVER fails."<br />
<br />
and also 1 John 4:8<br />
"Whoever does not love does not know God, because God Is Love"<br />
<br />
it's as simple as that: LOVE<br />
<br />
with all of God's grace that He has bestowed on me,<br />
the girl who is forgiven and loved<br />
<br />
Romans 8:1<br />
"So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to Him, the power of the life giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that lead to death."

<br />
Florida sucks. I'm in Washington.<br />
<br />
"whoa whoa whoa, what?"<br />
<br />
I know I know, we have alot of catching up to do because last time I posted, I believe it was December and I was about to go to Bolivia. Ha. Well I went. And I raised all my money. And it was life changing.<br />
<br />
**to make Olivia happy, since she's watching me write this (don't worry i'll explain her later) she would like me to let everyone know that she will one day be the dictator of Bolivia and make the "B" silent so that Olivia can be the dictator of Olivia the country**<br />
<br />
"wait but weren't you in Florida for school?"<br />
<br />
Why yes. I was. But it was the worst.<br />
<br />
Okay not the worst. But. Eh.<br />
<br />
That's all I have to say about that.<br />
<br />
"Well wait. So why are you in Washington?"<br />
<br />
Oh right. Maybe I should tell you that.<br />
<br />
So I'm a college drop out. Holler!<br />
<br />
But it's fine because I have like five jobs.<br />
<br />
So the real reason I'm here in the beautiful Washington is because I am now a trainee for Paradosi Ballet Company.<br />
<br />
What's that you ask? <a href="http://paradosiballetcompany.com/">here</a>, take a look.<br />
<br />
So I guess I don't really know how to go about catching up, or where to start really.<br />
<br />
So I moved here about two weeks ago. Or is it three......<br />
<br />
I think it's three.<br />
<br />
Anywho. I live in an apartment with all the other trainees. Olivia (who is gonna rule Bolivia), Catherine, Kelsie, and my wonderful roomie Heather. We are in the middle of our second week of the trainee program and we have already learned three whole dances, and half of two other dances. Needless to say, we are on a roll.<br />
<br />
But that's boring to you isn't it?<br />
<br />
I guess the questions that people who read this will want answered will be the "well, do you like it?" "is it better than college?" etc. etc.<br />
<br />
Yes. I love it. It is so much better than college. And get this. Okay so maybe i'm hyping this up a bunch, but I think it's pretty important.<br />
<br />
I found a church in the first week. woooooooot!!!!!!<br />
<br />
(as opposed to last year where it was maybe the last month of school and I finally found a church)<br />
<br />
But I know for a fact that this is absolutely where God wants me to be at this point in my life.<br />
<br />
So I feel like you're pretty updated now. I mean. I'm exhausted and can't really form sentences. So I think that's all you're gonna get tonight. But hopefully now that I'm living real person life, I'll have time to blog (ha. get it. that's a joke. cause when do i ever have time?)<br />
<br />
No but for cereals, I will eventually actually blog. This is just my "catch up on your blog so that you can be inspired to blog again"<br />
<br />
And with that, I am inspired to cook. Kind of.<br />
<br />
With all my lack of money,<br />
the girl who's gonna be broke in about five days<br />

EARRINGS!<br />
<br />
That's right folks! For the past month or so, this girl has been slaving away trying to make some earrings to sell to help out the funds for the <a href="http://alltheworldshoulddance.blogspot.com/2013/10/newsletter-from-my-room.html">Bolivia trip</a> I'm going on in TWO WEEKS AND THREE DAYS!!!!!<br />
<br />
so needless to say, time is creeping up on me. <br />
<br />
So, I will now <a href="http://alltheworldshoulddance.blogspot.com/2013/12/whats-in-name.html">send</a> you to a page where you can find the earrings post!<br />
<br />
And since I tricked you, here are the <a href="http://alltheworldshoulddance.blogspot.com/2013/12/of-ear.html">actual</a> earrings.<br />
<br />

<br />
So first, some information.<br />
<br />
I have not named the "business yet". <br />
<br />
For multiple reasons...<br />
<br />
1. I am really praying about what to name it<br />
<br />
2. because I also want the name to be TOTALLY SHAWEET!<br />
<br />
3. I feel that names are really important, so if you could all pray that God gives me wisdom on what to name it, that would be fantastic.<br />
<br />
I know, I know.<br />
<br />
Some of you are probably thinking, "is she crazy? it's just a name. I mean, even Shakespeare says names don't really mean much. I mean come on, don't you know Juliet's line in Romeo and Juliet in Act 2 Scene 2 where she says 'what's in a name?'" <br />
<br />
Okay so maybe you're not thinking that exactly, but you're probably thinking along those lines. <br />
<br />
The thing is, names have been such a big impact on my life, and I find them to be so incredibly important. <br />
<br />
I mean, think about it. Jesus wasn't given a name that means "Messiah" for nothing. Jacob's name that previously meant "deceiver" wasn't changed to Israel which means "wrestles with God" just for kicks and giggles (and if you're more hardcore, punches and chuckles, and if you're a pirate, stabs and cackles). They were given those names for a reason.<br />
<br />
And in the same light, I wasn't given the name Anna solely because it's my wonderful Grandmother's name. I mean. I was given it because of her. But that was God's intended name for me.<br />
<br />
Long story short, my name means "Gracious one". My ma always thinks that it's really the other translation which means "Graceful one" but heck....I don't know what she's talking about-this girl ain't very graceful.<br />
<br />
But see the thing is, if you were to ask me something that God has shown me most of in my life, it would be Grace. He has been so gracious to me, and everywhere I go, he shows me more and more graciousness. <br />
<br />
And so yes, maybe I am crazy. But I also know that names aren't just names. They hold so much meaning behind them. And so I want to pray about the name of this "business" (if I can call it that). And I want to ask if you would pray about it as well. <br />
<br />
I know, I know. "Anna you went on a blab again" <br />
<br />
Yeah. I do that a lot. <br />
<br />
So <a href="http://alltheworldshoulddance.blogspot.com/2013/12/of-ear.html">here you go</a> folks,<br />
<br />
With all my bedazzled love,<br />
the new found jewelry maker!<br />
<br />

<br />
I thought I was at least a little bit. (which I guess I am)<br />
<br />
But not savy enough to be able to figure things out without my Dad or brother, and since I need to make this blog post right now, I'll just consult them for the next one.<br />
<br />
So this newsletter thing...I had to get creative since I didn't know how to put a link or an attachment onto the blog.<br />
<br />
So what did I do?<br />

Yes Morgan and I climbed it.<br />
<br />
Although I couldn't get a picture to do it justice of how high up we were.<br />
<br />
Anywho, we found out that on the way home, we have a layover overnight in Peru!<br />
<br />
That's right.<br />
<br />
Not only do we get to go to Bolivia, we get to stay a night in Peru!!!<br />
<br />
Jesus loves us. So much.<br />
<br />
The point of all this being, I know that God will provide. I have no idea how, but I know that He will. And so I am asking you to pray about it. Pray to see if God wants you to give, or just to pray, or to help fundraise, or anything really. God loves anything that you do to further His Kingdom, even if it is praying for all the missions teams that go out. He LOVES that!<br />
<br />
He just loves us so much, that anything we do to glorify Him is us showing our love for Him, and He adores that so much. <br />
<br />
So please pray, and do as you are lead. <br />
<br />
With all of my excited, flipping out, God loving love,<br />
the girl who is GOING TO BOLIVIA!!!!!!!!!<br />

if you hold my hand and hear a screaming in your head to let go?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If love can’t even love me, what’s the point in loving
anything else?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don’t want my heart to keep breaking<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How can you guard your heart and love at the same time?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How is it supposed to matter if all it ends in is heartbreak?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You say I can’t die from heartbreak, but every heartbreak
kills me slowly, and I’m on my last one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You say you love me, but do you really?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I surprised your heart, and you repay me by breaking mine?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You were so happy, and so was I, but then you turn it right
away and blindside me with indifference?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What do you do when at the end of the night it’s just you?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How do you cope when you don’t even know if you love yourself?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You say to not listen to other people, but how is that
possible when they all break your heart?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When all you know is heartbreak, will you ever know anything
else?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You say it was harmless, but you don’t know how much harm
you’ve caused on me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You made me fall, only to let me drop on the cold hard
ground.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You said God told you, but why didn’t He tell me?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You asked God and He replied; yet I beg to God, and He lets
me cry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If God loves unconditionally, am I an exception?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Am I that one exception that no one has to love?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I open up my heart, because that’s what I’m told to do; but
so far all that’s come of it is an open heart surgery gone wrong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You say being a wanderer is the best path, but what happens
when you want a home?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You tell me it’s a way to learn, but what if I don’t want to
learn anymore?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You say that people stay, but all I see around me is an
empty field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You explain it well-so I may as well put a caution sign on
my head; a sign that reads “caution: don’t get too close, you’ll hear a scream
from Heaven”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You promise it’ll be okay, but what if I don’t trust
promises anymore?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You say you’ll send love, but I doubt it’ll ever be
delivered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He lied, you lied, they all lied-how can I trust anyone?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You tell me to trust that we had something-how am I supposed
to trust in anything anymore?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If trust isn’t tangible, and promises and love isn’t either,
how can my touch be so harmful?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My touch is harmful, my love is harmful, my heart is broken,
and we are broken.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You said you’d forever be there to mend my broken heart, and
now you’ve left it cut open and bleeding out on the floor-where is forever now?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you promised forever, and forever never came-do promises
ever come true?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’m broken and torn apart, and yet no one comes to my
rescue-everyone walks by and watches as the vultures of my life take away all
that I am.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the broken and reckless girl that I am, the question
becomes if I can ever love again.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I know what you're thinking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
You're thinking something along the lines of:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay...what was that? Why did she start a blog post off with something that depressing?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">You see, the fact of the matter is that everyone has hard times in their lives. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Everyone deals with them differently though, and even each person deals with each hard time differently. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">For instance, sometimes I dance it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sometimes I sing it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sometimes I get out my bow and arrow and shoot it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sometimes I throw it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sometimes I talk it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sometimes I cry it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sometimes I eat it out (terrible habit...)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sometimes I yell it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And sometimes I write it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now you're thinking a whole different set of things, and to those all I will says is yes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I am a complete mess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">But we all are.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We are sinful, broken, reckless, messes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And sometimes we like to talk it out with other people, and sometimes we try and deal with it on our own. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">But see the thing is...we can't do that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We can't shut ourselves off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And some people will say to that, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">"but I hate talking to people about my problems. I feel like they judge me, or they'll think less of me, or they just won't understand...I just don't like talking to people."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">But see...here's the fun part. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There's is always someone out there who wants to talk to us who won't give us judgment, who won't think less of us, who will love us regardless of all the crap that we are spilling out, and regardless of the mess that we are.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sometimes we think that no one is there for us.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We're wrong.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">There is always going to be someone who wants to talk to us.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So don't cut yourself off from everyone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Because when you have no earthly person to talk to, you have a Creator who loves you regardless of the crap that you have.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Because that crap is called sin, and He forgives us of our sin first of all, second of all, He loves us despite our sin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In fact, He died so that our sins could be forgiven and so that we could have an actual relationship with Him and bring everything to Him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">One of my favorite parts about God?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I can talk to Him like I talk to a person on earth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So when we are in a low point in our life and we think no one wants to listen, God always wants to listen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">He is the best listener ever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">You can talk for hours, and He will give you His full attention the entire time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So when you feel like no one wants to talk to you...remember that God does.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Because when we get become so broken and reckless, the only thing we can do to help fix that is go chat it out with God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And in case you think I know everything (which you shouldn't think that because I don't) the only reason I know this is because that broken and reckless girl you read about when you first started reading this blog post...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">That girl was me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">But I say was, because I'm deciding that this time, while I'm at a low, I'm going to chat it out with God. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">So now I'm going to leave you with a question since I figured that you were asking questions this entire post:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">When you find yourself at a low point in life, will you hurt it out or will you chat it out?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And thus ends another episode of "random insight with Anna"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">With all of my broken and reckless love,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> the girl who is choosing God over hurt</span><br />

In case you missed <a href="http://alltheworldshoulddance.blogspot.com/2013/10/some-of-gods-gifts.html">part one...</a><br />
We went on a field trip.<br />
<br />
hashtagcollegelife<br />
<br />
"she did not just use a hashtag"<br />
<br />
...you don't understand. I don't actually use hashtags in the serious sense. <br />
I find them ridiculous, so I overuse them in the most obnoxious ways.<br />
<br />
For instance, my sister and I have hashtag battles, where we talk in hashtags. They get really long sometimes.<br />
<br />
I also enjoy saying "hashtag" instead of using the symbol.<br />
<br />
hashtagsowheneveriusehashtagsdonthateonmejustlaughitoff<br />
<br />
hashtaggoodluckwiththatone<br />
<br />
and thus ends my hashtag explanation.<br />
<br />
Now we begin our next part of the tale with some friend pictures.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These ladies have already helped me through so much, and they are willing to watch Harry Potter and eat an entire tub of cookie dough with me when my heart aches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They are truly gifts from God, and I am so blessed to have them in my life.</div>

Because you know that change and Anna do not mix very well.<br />
<br />
Well folks...that is what happens when God's love is showered over you even when you don't deserve it. I have been so incredibly blessed by coming to this school, and I just wanted to share with you some things that have made it so great. <br />
<br />
Well okay...all I'm going to show you is pictures of my amazing friends. But still. They truly are blessings from God.<br />
<br />
So the other weekend (yes, not this past weekend...i'm truly terrible at blogging in college as suspected), us freshman dance girls decided that we needed to go on a photoshoot.<br />
<br />
Now before you go flipping out and thinking that I had another amazing dance photoshoot....not yet.<br />
<br />
**keyword: yet**<br />
<br />
We were going to, but then realized it was too hot to do both a regular photoshoot and a dance photoshoot. But one of these weekends, there will be a plethora of dance pictures.<br />
<br />
So let the showing of these beautiful ladies begin! <br />
(oh and i'm in there occasionally as well)<br />
<br />
(and before we start, you should know that the lovely Gracelyn took the pictures of me, and the wonderful Maegan took the pictures of Gracelyn and I)<br />

<br />
caution: because of this, I am going to be completely brutally honest and open.<br />
<br />
My friends and I were about to go grocery shopping, when my stomach started hurting, so naturally I went to the bathroom. If it hadn't been for that, I would have been in the hospital or dead. But my Jesus was not ready for me to leave this earth yet.<br />
<br />
We were about to walk around the corner when we heard a deafening bang, crash, and screaming. on the other end of the street corner, a bus had hit two cars and ran. One of the cars had ended up smashed and up on the sidewalk. The other-a van-had been flipped onto it's side, and by the time we got into view, the bus was speeding away, and people were screaming and pulling tiny children out of the van. If we had been any earlier, we would have been on that street corner, and we might have been plowed over by the car. But God.<br />
<br />
Immediately, one of the girls I was with called 9-1-1, as many others did, and my friend and I started praying. I didn't even know what to say. All I could pray was "Lord protect them, we pray your healing power on them" What do you pray in a situation like that? As we were praying, a man who had been in one of the cars started screaming for his children.<br />
<br />
I didn't even know what to do. I still don't know what to do. All I can focus my mind on is thanking Jesus for keeping me out of harms way, and then I picture the scene in my head, and I hear the men and women screaming. And I see the lights, and hear the sirens, and see the black sky.<br />
<br />
And I can't help thinking that this is what the world has come to. This world is so evil. And we have a God who saves, and a God who protects, but we have an enemy who steals and kills. And it's not natural. It's not fair. It's evil. It's heartbreaking. I don't know what to do with it. But all I can do is trust in God. And that's so hard sometimes. I don't know how to hold onto Him sometimes. But then evil strikes, and all I want to do is cling to the Father. And to think that that could have been me being rushed away in that ambulance...how much have I wasted my life so far? What could I do differently? What if that had been one of my friends in the ambulance that I never had the courage to share about Jesus with? What is more important than Jesus? Jesus is life. In death, what will we have if we never had life? How can I call people my friends if I didn't care enough to tell them about Jesus? The most important thing in this entire world. And why isn't He constantly the most important thing in my life?<br />
<br />
I don't know how to deal with this. I don't know how to cope. But as I write this, I have never felt as so sure of anything as I feel now about the fact that I know God wants me to go to Bolivia. People die every day. That's the cold hard truth. But they don't have to die forever. We are called as followers of Christ, to spread His good news. And what does our life amount to if we do not follow that calling with all of our hearts?<br />
<br />
"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders.<br />Let me walk upon the waters<br />Wherever you would call me.<br />Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander<br />And my faith will be made stronger<br />In the presence of my saviour"<br />
~Oceans: Hillsong United<br />
<br />
So as I now have a different view of life, and what my life means, and what my life should amount to, pray for me. Pray that I will always remember that "the night I almost died" was the night when I really started living. Pray that I will follow Jesus, the Messiah, with everything that I have in me. Pray that God will provide for Bolivia. Pray. Not only for me, but for yourself, and the people around you, and everyone in this entire world. Pray that we will all begin to see life differently and that we will impact the world, and bring God back into the world, and that we will unite as brothers and sisters in Christ.<br />
<br />
People need to hear. They need to hear that their lives don't mean nothing. Jesus is everything, and He will be your everything. He will lead you through the heartaches, and He will lead you through the trials and He will lead you through life, and He will take your hand, call you His own, and love you with as much love as you can imagine, plus way more.<br />
<br />
And I leave you with this again: Pray that the night I almost died becomes the night that I realized how to live, and truly started living for His glory, and for His Kingdom.<br />

*update-to Him be the Glory-there were injuries, but no deaths*Anna Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02268815741018693118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976660859331637897.post-71852502417889535462013-09-09T09:38:00.002-07:002013-09-09T09:39:33.654-07:00The Big NewsNo worries.<br />
<br />
I'm not pregnant.<br />
<br />
It's not that kind of big news.<br />
<br />
But it's just as important!<br />
<br />
Actually...at this point in my life (since I don't even have a boyfriend) it's way more bigger.<br />
<br />
English fanatics, don't go crazy. Calm down-it's a blog.<br />
<br />
And anyways, I was joking.<br />
<br />
I have no big news.<br />
<br />
NO I'M JUST JOKING!<br />
<br />
ha. joking.<br />
<br />
No but really i'm actually joking.<br />
<br />
I do have big news.<br />
<br />
Have you had enough suspense yet?<br />
<br />
(I'm pretty sure the only person that answered that question was my <a href="http://timandstephanietaylor.blogspot.com/">sister-in-law</a>.)<br />
<br />
^^and that would be super awkward if she actually didn't. but I pictured her in my head saying "yes! just tell us already!"<br />
<br />
Plus, it's another chance to plug her blog =]<br />
<br />
So enough of the suspense.<br />

And on another note, not that you can really see, but Addi got me into wearing beanies. Yup...this is happening. To quote the lovely Kristen Schuman again, "college man, it does things to you".<br />
<br />
Well I know this wasn't very exciting. But as my wonderful <a href="http://timandstephanietaylor.blogspot.com/">sister-in-law</a> said from the beginning, I won't be doing much blogging. It was just the fact that I had no homework that week. And now, as I do have homework, and I actually have friends that I go on adventures with, blogging...is just as hard as it was in high school. And since i'm ridiculously tired all the time (cuz that's what college is doing to me) my posts may not be all too exciting.<br />
<br />
But nonetheless, I figured I would keep you updated on my life as a college kid =]<br />
<br />
(plus my momma would bug me about wanting to see pictures of what all i'm doing in school)<br />
<br />
Also, on another exciting note, I made it into the Dance Ensemble, and we're already in full blown rehearsals. I cannot tell you how perfect this college is for me. But clearly, I will try to tell you through my pictures, and my effort to blog about it, and my constant rantings of how perfect it is.<br />
<br />
And on a prayerful note, there is a missions trip happening over Christmas break to Bolivia. I don't know all too much about it yet, but if you could spare a moment and pray that God would give me guidance on whether or not He is calling me there, I would very much appreciate it. God calls all of us to go and preach the gospel, and spread His message of hope and love, but there is a time for everything, and whether or not this is the time for me to go, is up to Him. However, I need guidance, and prayer is the biggest guide there is out there. So if you could pray that God would show me His plan for my life for this Christmas, I would appreciate it very very much.<br />
<br />
With all my tired love,<br />
the dancer who will never get enough sleep.<br />
<br />
p.s. i promise i'll try to make a fun post a.s.a.p.<br />

I found that amusing.<br />
<br />
And appropriate. Since it's 2013!<br />
<br />
BUT WE'RE AT TWO THOUSAND!!!!!<br />
<br />
You guys rock!!!!<br />
<br />
I figured for this one, I would teach you all a game.<br />
<br />
Answer these three questions in detail...(i'll answer them so that you can get to know me better and so that you can understand how it works) and post your answers if you'd like!!!<br />
<br />
Actually, write down your answers either in the comment section, or on a piece of paper as you go. That way you will remember exactly what you said. And don't forget the details!!<br />
<br />
1. What's your favorite color?<br />
<br />
So mine is blue because it's a very calming color, and it's so pretty. It's got a "cool" feeling to it, and it really sets you in a great mood.<br />
<br />
2. What is your favorite animal?<br />
<br />
Don't laugh. But mine is a cow. I love cows because they make me so giddily happy. Everytime I drive by them I wave at them, and I feel that if they had hands, they would wave back. But instead they moo, and I feel that that's their sign of telling me that we're friends. Cows and I are always instant friends. They're just so cute with their "moo"s!<br />
<br />
3. What is your favorite part about nature?<br />
<br />
Easy. The mountains. I feel closer to God when I'm up that high. I love the crisp air, and breathing it in is so refreshing. I feel like when I breath in that air, and when I'm hiking the mountains, and doing whatever else up there, all my cares are wiped away, and I feel as light as the mountain air.<br />
<br />
********Make sure you do not look at this until you have written your answers down, and answered all of the questions!!!********<br />
<br />
So now, I know you're thinking that I rigged my answers, but I promise I didn't. I answered the questions, and I just love how it turns out.<br />
<br />
So the words that you used in question 1 (favorite color) is the way you want people to view you. So for example, I want people to see me as someone who calms them down and puts them in a good mood. (which is so accurate)<br />
<br />
Question 2 is what you look for in a boy (or in a boy's case, a girl). I find this absolutely hysterical, because apparently I look for a cow?? But it's actually really funny because this too, is dead on. I want someone who makes me so happy, and who I'm instant friends with, and want to wave to all the time.<br />
<br />
Question 3 is words that you would use to describe God or what things you love about Him. I loveee this one. God is the one who takes away all my cares. When I truly breath Him in, my cares are all forgotten about.<br />
<br />
This is such a fun game to play with other people, because you get to know them on such an intimate and interesting level, and it is a great way to get to know people! We played this game on our workship project, and it was so cool to hear the other girls' responses and such.<br />
<br />
Enjoy this game, and you guys are awesomee!! Comment your answers! I want to get to know you guys!<br />
<br />
TWO THOUSAND!!! WOOHOO!!!<br />

Oh. That didn't clear things up for you? Well...<br />
<br />
Rock n' Bowl is where we dress up in crazy outfits (such as the above) and go bowling. Yes. You're jealous. Oh and we dance and such. It's a crazy good time.<br />
<br />
However...there is a disadvantage...<br />

<br />
Well. Not anymore! Now you all know my secret obsession. Hey. It's good to let out some of your secret obsessions sometimes. It shows your uniqueness, and plus, people should love you for who you are. So let it out! Actually, (got this idea from my <a href="http://timandstephanietaylor.blogspot.com/">sister-in-law</a> (whom I can't seem to plug enough =P )) if you so wish, you can start now and tell me one of your guilty pleasures, or secret obsessions down below in the comment area!! =]<br />
<br />
So anywho, yes. We bought our outfits at a thrift shop. (I super love that video, and plus it's a better version I think. and it's also clean!)<br />
<br />
My next adventure was earlier today. My new awesome friends Addi and D.J. and I took an adventure to the beach =]<br />

Another picture for you to admire =]<br />
<br />
So after our beach adventure, we had an AH-MAY-ZING service in the chapel.<br />
<br />
Wait, pause.<br />
<br />
Before I get there, there's something you need to see. So we had a lip sync contest. Which was awesome, and all that good stuff. Actually some of them were seriously so good. But so during this, they called this guy up on stage. And this happened...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And then this happened...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yes. That is a table. It happened right in front of my eyes. He was in the crowd and then got up on stage. No strings. No nothing. Just pure talent of balancing things on his face.<br />
<br />
So back to the service...<br />
<br />
The passage they focussed on was John 13:1-7 which says,<br />
<br />
"It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.<br /><br />2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.<br />6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”<br />7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”"<br />(from Bible Gateway)<br /><br />I cannot explain to you how amazing the service was. A feet washing service like that is really truly something that you have to experience for yourself. If you ever get the opportunity, I really encourage you to do so. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What was so amazing about the service was that it was pretty much all the freshman and transfers...so like, all the new fish. And everyone was praising God with all they had. Let me tell you something. God was in that place tonight. And He was there to speak into people's lives. I will never in my life forget what God spoke into me tonight, and it forever rocked my world. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So for those of you out there who are concerned, yes I love this school. I could not have gone to a better college. God knew exactly what I needed in a school, and He sent me here to PBA. He has blessed me beyond anything I could ever imagine, and I am so thankful for His love and guidance in my life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So after that amazing service, I came back to my room, got nice and sparkly clean, then sat down to blog about it all.<br /><br />

<br />
HOLLA!<br />
<br />
But I haven't started classes yet...so...that's why.<br />
<br />
Speaking of classes, if you're wondering what I'm doing in college (which I'm going to pretend you are because I'm going to pretend "you loyal blog readers" out there, are in fact loyal and care about my odd shenanigans) in terms of classes anyways...<br />
<br />
Well let's just say I think I might be dropping the class that I just added if I in fact get into the dance ensemble. *FINGERS CROSSED* But hey. If God sent me here to dance my little heart out, then I am confident that He will put me in classes and other things that will get me dancing.<br />
<br />
I have 17 credits as of now (since I just added a Bible class-woot!) and if I get into the dance ensemble, I believe I will only have one more credit? But one more credit man...that could be a ton of more work and what not.<br />
<br />
But enough about boring stuff...<br />
<br />
You want to know why I really got on tonight to blog.<br />
<br />
(Besides the adventure to the pier I just took at 11:30 at night...shhhhhh. don't tell mom! it's okay. i'm in college. and I don't have a curfew yet. tehe. plus I was back in my room by like 12. so it's fine)<br />
<br />
I have a streak in my life that I am never the one to get free stuff or the raffle ticket winner or any of that.<br />
<br />
Well tonight...<br />
<br />
Before this happened...<br />

^^Jimmy Needham concert!!! (for those of you who are blind. or just can't see impossibly tiny, terrible mega pixel dumbphone pictures)<br />
<br />
SIDE NOTE: that man is amazing. He knows how to preach the Gospel in it's pure, raw form, and be able to tell an amazing testimony in the same raw form. (If you followed that sentence...cuz quite honestly I didn't) Point is...this man is amazing. (also, go check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/mochaclub">The Mocha Club</a>)<br />
<br />
So besides that amazingness happening...<br />

<br />
So there you have it loyal folks (if you're not loyal you've got a good deal tonight)<br />
<br />
Okay one last note...<br />

And to leave you off with some goobishness here is a picture of me with my my sailfish freshman hat (affectionately known as my "Mr. Mr. Fish hat hat" -don't think about it too hard. your brain might explode)<br />
<br />
Well folks, that's it for now from this college kid. College makes me feel cooler, so maybe i'll blog more (cuz i'll feel cooler blogging too) <---goob.<br />

<br />
As much as I love all of you dearly, and I appreciate you reading my blog, and hopefully getting inspired and what not, I must enforce the copyrights. I have to put it out there that I do have a copyright on all the pictures that show up on here, as well as having a copyright for this blog in general. Pictures that are not mine (ex. pictures that I am in), I give due credit, but otherwise they are copyrighted of this blog. However, if you wish to use any of my pictures, you can email me, and I can gladly send them your way.<br />
This is not to glorify myself in any way. Those of you who have ever written English papers in school know that taking anything without giving credit is plagiarism and is illegal. It is with great regret that I must sound this harsh, but I would much rather be harsh up front than have to confront you later.<br />
Thank you all for your sweet understanding, and I wish that you would not think less of me if you have found my tone to be rude or condescending. I appreciate every single one of my readers, and I could not keep this going if it were not for you all.Anna Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02268815741018693118noreply@blogger.com0
