I found this several months ago on someone else's blog (don't remember who's now) and stole it because I liked it so much. Then I got busy with that crazy math class stuff and forgot about it. Till tonight. When I decided to clean out my blog's draft posts and rediscovered it. So I present to you now, My Still List. Feel free to steal it for your own blog, or leave your list in the comments.
Still Loving: Jesus, living in Nashville, and my car (all of them are more amazing and awesome than HDTV!!)
Still Not: liking math
Still Glad: I stepped off the high dive. Life is hard, but so good.
Still Enjoying: my couch (yes, I'm a not-so-closet couch potato; I love my couch!)
Still Doing: the next right thing, and the next right thing... one step at a time, one day at a time, as God gives me insight.
Still Proud: to be my parent's daughter; and of my friends, and who they are becoming
Still Amazed: that Life could be this incredibly good.
Still Hoping: that my future will be better than my past
Still Grateful: for everything God has given me -- it's massive!
Still Wanting: to lose the weight I gained the two years I was on anti-depressants
Still Trying: to be polite and kind to the obnoxious people in my life
Still Failing: to not run away and isolate sometimes, when things get hard and the feelings become overwhelming
Still Passionate About: international travel and learning about new cultures; I really, really, really miss traveling overseas!
Still Taking up new things: to worry about. I learned to worry from my mom and haven't been able to break the habit yet. But I'm hopeful.
Still Dating: myself... every stinkin' time I open my mouth.
Still Have Not: learned to rock-climb, which I've been wanting to do since I moved to Nashville, lo these three years ago.
Still Working: yep. That's about it. Haven't become independently wealthy yet. When I do you'll be the.. well, third or fourth to know.
Still Reading: The Harry Potter series, and about four other books I can't seem to find the time to finish.
Still Thinking: Our country is in deep doo-doo, but, still, we will survive. It won't be pretty or pleasant, but we'll make it through.
Still Wondering: why God created cockroaches. I mean, really, what purpose do they serve, other than grossing me out? --- Or are they a product of The Fall? Along with sin we got cockroaches... lovely.
Still Dressing: myself. That's a good thing... right?
Still To Do: homework-homework-homework
Still Cherishing: my amazing sister, my wonderful friends, and my Beloved Jesus
Still Trying to Never: give up, or give in to fear.
Still Will Aways: Be utterly amazed at God's unfailing love, unending grace, and unbelievable power --- all given to me of all people (!!) as free love-gifts. Talk about the ultimate Valentine's present!
Still, Still: I need to just be still before God and listen. I don't spend near enough time just being quiet and still before Him. But those times when I do I realize I need to do that more. I feel more refreshed and ready to take on the (rest of the) day. Yet I still too often forgo that time in favor of sleeping a little later, reading a book, watching television or doing homework."Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46:10
