Novel addict: Weekends are for late nights and "maybe laters"

"I'm just saying maybe we need to start looking up to the people who straight up suck at most of the things Jesus asks us to do. The ones who bear fruit because they ABIDE not because they're good at what they do. The ones who actually, truly, deeply, wildly need His grace, they don't just know how to talk about it."

- Words that spoke to me today from THIS new blog-find

My brain is not fully functional at the moment. I have had zero coffee and looked in the mirror before I frantically left for work this morning for maybe 2.5 seconds. Enough to sigh and wish I had a stronger ponytail and time for mascara.

This is college life.

Where papers are written at all hours and grades are distributed only to be quickly forgotten as we sprint into the warm summer days (or luke-warm days depending on where in the midwest you are this year). It is chaos. It is selfish. It is exhausting. It is full of Jesus and a lot of faults.

I keep half-watching "Pretty Woman" (due to my love of all things Julia Roberts) but continue to find half-distractions in my half-awake stupor as I half-text, half-tweet, half-read, half-write.
This is not just poetic discourse. I'm pretty dead-tired, people.

I can honestly say though, that I actually, truly, deeply, wildly NEED God's grace (even more than sleep), and I'm still figuring out how to talk about it.
