But I've narrowed down a few things that are certain, rock-solid fact.
First, I worship a God that is all-knowing; He knew before I was a twinkle in my parents' eye, He knew me in my mother's womb, and even now He knows the count of every hair on my head and every thought and desire of my anxious heart. He has plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future (Jer. 29:11). And this life, this beautiful and terrifying life, is just a blip before I spend an eternity worshipping at the feet of the One who loved me first.
Green is the most perfect color. It's vibrant and full of energy, and my personal favorite is primary, kelly green. My sunglasses are green, my sheets are green, my fingerless gloves are green, two of my scarves are green, my favorite throw is green... and the beat goes on.
John Mayer is my generation sexiest artist. Period. His face and neck strain with every chord and lyric, and his passion is palpable. Not to mention his undeniable talent that is so beautiful it can only be described in the ugliest words: sick, disgusting, wicked.
My family is one of my greatest blessings. My mom is my best friend, and my dad can always make me laugh. Always.
Harry Potter is the best series of books ever written. I cry every time I read them over again because running out of words is like losing a friend.
Beth Moore is unquestionably my favorite Christian author. I believe God has used her in a big, big way in my life, and I wholeheartedly recommend that anyone and everyone read Believing God.
I've always wanted to be a celebrity, but I've never been certain what for... I love to sing, but I'm pretty average; I'm quite the drama-queen, but probably not Oscar-worthy. I love to write, though, but I'm not a creative writer. I can't just make up characters or dream up other worlds. I've been so inspired by Beth Moore, though, that I think if I'm ever noteworthy it will be because God poured into me and straight through my fingertips onto a Word document. Since I don't really make things up, I write about what I know... and if there's one thing I know, it's a God who redeems me and heals me time after time after time.
Naps are the greatest escape and medicine for my soul. Call me a coward, but when my heart is weary and I cannot deal, the only thing I know to do is curl up and pray to a Father who hears me until I fall asleep and leave my situation. A minister once described falling asleep while praying (something I'm endlessly guilty of) to me as falling asleep in your Father's lap, like you did with your earthly father as a child. I think about that a lot and take great comfort in the visual.
Every character on Gilmore Girls, mostly, annoys me to death... but as an ensemble, the show is magic. I will watch every episode over and over.
Okay, that list got out of hand. Maybe more than a few things in life are for certain.
