Sometimes, Always v. 1



Sometimes... I get really discouraged about financial instabilities.

Always... I need to remember that God will always provide for me and my family, for in Matthew it reads, "So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your Heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need."

Sometimes... I don't feel like eating the right way.
Always... In order to be healthy and happy, I need to overcome the want of pleasure food.

Sometimes... I'm way too interested in Swimming in the Olympics because it reminds me of an exboyfriend/best friend.
Always... I can let it bring me back to watching him race in high school, and of high school memories in general, as long as I know where I stand in my heart.

Sometimes... Christian friends who go to Christian colleges make me feel inadequate going to a non-Christian university.
Always... I remember that God's plans for us are different and that a non-Christian university is best suited to the work that makes me happy and that He wants me to do.

Sometimes... I don't agree with stupid decisions made by sports teams.
Always... I remain loyal to my team and its best players, no matter where they get traded to.


[&]

Sometimes... I get tired of waiting.
Always... I look to a hopeful future.

Smell the Roses v. 1

Lovely Little Things

Last week's Task:

Write ten things you are grateful for
Only ten!?!?!?!? Ugh. :) Okay. I tried to be less serious with it:


[1]


Skype & this boy. I love him. With so much of my being and so deeply with my soul. He has been my biggest support system and I tell him... everything. I'm "one of those girls," it seems. I like to kiss him on Skype. Even though I look like a monkey because I had to mumble "No, come closer, no, STOP," lol :)

[3]


This is my friend Alexandra/Alex/Allie over at This Journey of Journeys. We've gotten very close very quickly and I can truly say that God is good when I let him take over my friendships. She's an absolute sweetheart, a brilliant accountability partner, and a wonderful fellow Christian. We get excited over everything together lately, it seems, and it's so healthy. For both of us, I think. She has a wonderful life so if you're in for an interesting read, I'd definitely head over to her blog. She sings opera! And so young.

Many baby photos of me got destroyed in a basement flood. Basically it's as if my parents only had my older brother and not me. But my dad found a few of me when he went to the house today to sort some furniture, and I'm really thankful for this. It's not often I get to see little ol' me reppin' it from the crib. I wish I could still rock hats.


[5]


I'm blessed that I can go here. My dad gives 200% to make sure that I am able to stay in another state for university. I've met so many wonderful people here and I'm discovering so much about who I am in Christ, in my career path, and as a person. The tuition is a pain, but I'm so happy I attend this university. And to think if a friend hadn't been with me while I was deciding which college to send deposit to, I never would have gone here! The closer the days come to when I have to leave, the more excited I get.


[6]


Weird choice? I've been having a really rough two weeks outside of Bloggerville and these photos can generally get a giggle or to out of me. I have a very odd sense of humour and I can rarely find things that make me smile. So. I enjoy these quite a lot and I'm glad God gave us sarcasm and such.

Isn't it like, an unwritten rule not to blog about your menstrual cycle? -invisible eraser- Fret no longer, for I have done away with thee. Got mine early this week and this here magical drug above makes my life a thousand times better. Translation: Got mine early this week and this here magical drug above makes the lives of those around me a thousand times better.

[8]


I'm just so thankful that God's been gracing me with not only will and determination, but with perseverance and good health. I often can't exercise the way I'd like because of my bad knees and ankles. But this whole week and a half I've done so well with exercising and eating right. The toning up is NOTICEABLE. REALLY noticeable. And as I've struggled with bulimia for five years, it's really good for me to see healthy weight loss and improvement.

Do you see what I mean? He just gets me. And loves me for all my grammar Nazi imperfections.

This community. You're all lovely people. I thank every one of you who stops by to comment or who decides to stick around and follow. I feel blessed every single time. I made this blog for me to have a creative outlet, and I love how many of you I'm able to reach. Your private comments make just posting about my life so worth it in ways I don't understand. <3

Blog Star: Oh, You Always Want More

This post is a part of the Mrs. Monologues Link-Up! I just did a post with a few facts about me, but you always want more, right!? :)



My last name is Tiralli and absolutely nobody pronounces it correctly. Not even us, to be honest. Americanized, it is pronounced ter-ahl-ee but my family pronounces it as ter-ehl-ee. I didn't discover this mispronunciation until two years ago when my dad expressed that he had been the one to change it as a kid, as he didn't like how often people couldn't pronounce it right.


I absolutely love giving kisses on the cheek and recieving them. It's in my top five favourite things - cheek kisses. I feel like it's inbred in my Italian culture but I really do feel so special when people give me kisses. :) Oh, and I adore that boy up there.


The Beatles are my favourite band and have been since I was a wee kid. I had no idea how popular they had been until I had liked them for a year or two but I'm glad either way. Their music makes me happy, relaxes me, and just puts a smile on my face.


I usually look for this symbol on the food that I purchase. As I vegan, I'm frequently checking the ingredient lists on things and seeing this symbol saves me a load of work. I love my diet and I wouldn't change it for the world.

If you're a new visiter, thanks for stopping by! Feel free to check out my blog :) Just click either of the "about me" tabs for more information or click "home" to see what I blog about!
