windsswept:

do you ever just think about Jesus living here on earth 

i think sometimes we tend to think He just bounced from one miracle to another and everyday was a Bible story but His ministry lasted for three years and the Gospels don’t actually cover that much so

imagine all those ordinary days?? 

He probably had favorite foods and morning routines and sore dirty feet from walking while sweat ran in His eyes in the hot Judean sun and He got blisters and hiccups and colds and maybe He snored 

all the times He laughed till He cried and i bet He had inside jokes with His disciples. imagine having an inside joke with the person who gives you breath to laugh in the first place 

and He had human skills He knew how to build a house and cook and wash his clothes and read 

passing food at the dinner table and bumping hands with Jesus 

talking about silly inconsequential things like the weather 

maybe some nights John was sleepy and he leaned against Jesus and could hear His heartbeat 

maybe some nights a disciple had insomnia and he climbed out of his bedroll to find Jesus sitting against a rock, looking up at heaven, and they sat and watched the stars together 

(the God of the universe looking up through short-sighted eyes at His creation, and the disciple wants so badly to ask what it was like to shape each star, but he looks at those calloused human hands and something in him trembles) 

do you ever think that the ordinary days so far outnumbered the miraculous ones that the disciples, sometimes, almost forgot

and then He goes and turns water into wine and feeds five thousand people from a kid’s lunch and brings dead Lazarus walking alive out of the tomb and they just kind of lose their breath

not because they didn’t expect deity to accomplish the impossible but because this God has been livingwith them

it’s not the miracles that are unthinkable

What the heck? I just scrolled through posts from about 4 year ago… Wow I was such a different human, I was so obsessed with boys, so obsessed with finding love. Little did I know Jesus loved me first and most, the entire time. Also just yeah little Veronika would be so amazed by present Veronika, and current Veronika would tell past Veronika, STOP being obsessed with boys. Know you’re part of the best love story ever, know that you need to know Jesus, He is the best, enjoy every stinking moment of college, literally, don’t take a second for granted. REST. Be still, trust Him, follow Him, be transformed. UGH. And the thing is, if I knew who I would be now when I was 18, 18 year old self would have probably had such a different path. I wonder what the me of 4 years in the future will think about present me. I do know that me from 8 months ago knew exactly who present me was supposed to be… But couldn’t really wrap my mind around that I would get here, 1.5 months out from graduation; FROM COLLEGE. Me in September was trying so hard to wrap my mind around what these moments would be like, but I couldn’t and had to trust that God would bring me to exactly where He wants and needs my heart to be. I can’t predict what I will be like the next months, in these upcoming seasons, but I do know that He will sustain me, transform me and provide for His will to be done. And I am so excited to be in place X or place Y in the future and then place Z and look back through this gold of memories, these little timblr blurbs are gold. 

How to Choose a Career

onlinecounsellingcollege:

1. Think about what you really enjoy. What brings you alive? What could you do for hours – even if you weren’t paid to do it?

2. What do others say you’re good at? Sometimes we’re blind to our gifts and strengths but usually other people will comment on them. What do others notice, and constantly affirm?

3. What’s your work style? Do you prefer a more structured environment? Do you prefer to work with other people or on your own? Do you like to follow guidelines and be told the rules, or do you likely to be creative and have autonomy?

4. Where would you like to work? In a hospital, in a school, in an office, in your own home? Would you prefer the type of job where you travel frequently, and perhaps to different countries all around the world?

5. How important is money to you? Are you content with “just enough” or do you want to earn a huge amount? Do you want a regular and predictable monthly income or would you prefer that your salary was based on bonuses and commission?

6. How important is the work-life balance to you? Some careers require you to work long hours, to travel on a whim and to put your projects first. Others give employees more flexibility. They let you choose your hours and the days when you will work.

7. How do you feel about having to work shifts, on evenings, at weekends, or on public holidays? There are many careers that require you to do that.

8. How well do you function under pressure and stress? Again, decide if that is something that you mind in a career.
