8 Newly Discovered or Desired things

1. Grapefruits. I have half of one every morning for breakfast nowadays.

2. Pinterest. Its addicting.

3. Kitchenaid Mixer. Never in my life have I desired a kitchen appliance, until now.

4. Polaroids. I just bought film for my camera. I can't wait to use it.

5. Acrylic Ink. My new friend paints with it. I'm going to be a copy cat.

6. Freestanding bathtubs. Someday, I want one in my house.

7. Mexican Firebushes. My host family just planted some in the backyard. BEAUTIFUL.

8. Baby Pandas. I really want one. Really.

a civil war

I woke up a few mornings ago to find that I had fallen asleep with the lamp on.

On rare occasions I decide to rest my eyes with a book in hand and thus is the result.

I also love to leave the blinds open.

So as I opened my eyes I found myself between two different types of light

conflicting elements hitting different shoulders.

at war it seemed, with myself as the unclaimed territory; the bed the battlefield.

I feel as though my heart is at war also.

maybe not war, that seems too intense,

but rather at odds.

pulling in different directions.

holding multiple opinions.

toying with ideas that are purposed similarly

but in fact are worlds different.

much like sunlight and tungsten.

I can see the light from both sides.

but things begin to blend in the middle.

how do you separate light from light?

I assume just pray for the Spirit to bring clarity.
