The Lovely Little Introvert

       This week has been one of the roughest I remember in a long time. It just seems like that week where everything goes wrong. I mean, Monday started out great. Work was amazing and I felt like I made progress with my baristas and I felt like I was on cloud nine. Then I came home, packed up my stuff, and went to the library to take my French test. Though I haven't gotten back my final score yet, it is safe to say I bombed that thing (and I only have three...and they count for 30% of my grade). On Tuesday, work was a nightmare. We were understaffed and I felt like I was having a continuous panic attack for like two hours. When I did homework later on that day, I found out that two of the textbooks I had ordered were wrong, and one of them I needed for a presentation that's due next week. I emailed my teacher and the news kept getting better. There was no access to the correct books online anywhere and none of my local libraries had them. To Amazon I went. I had to...

         One of my favorite parts of Sunday mornings is worship. I enjoy everything about it, especially if the team happens to play a few of my favorites. There are a few I currently have on repeat. One is Holy Spirit by Francesca Batistelli (and Jesus Culture) and the other is Forever by Kari Jobe. We did both of those songs this weekend and they really got me thinking. When we worship and pray and read the Bible, do we do so to a living God?          I don't mean is God alive or not. I happen to believe that He died and rose again on the third day just like He told His disciples. The way God kind of brought it to my attention was "Do you pray like I'm alive now?" If spiritually staggering is possible, I think I did so then. This isn't a new revelation for me, but something the Lord has to remind me of often and every time I am taken aback by it. Do I worship God like He is still alive? Do I pray like He is alive in me?    ...

      Hey there to anyone who decided to read my blog!                       I know a bunch of people don't like New Year's Resolutions and that's totally fine. I usually don't like them either. Every year I say I won't do it again and still do. With that being said, this blog is one of my resolutions this year. For a while now I have been wanting to start a blog and be intentional with it. So here I am!!  Welcome to the new home of The Lovely Little Introvert. (My goal for the year is 100 posts, which comes out to about 2 posts a week...*fingers crossed!*)          This blog isn't going to be about just one thing. It will probably consist of a lot of Jesus, lots of caffeine, a few silly observations, challenges, and other random things. I mostly just wanted a way to share my heart. I hope you find it makes you laugh, makes you think, encourages you and I hope you just plain enjoy ...
