"If you look for it, you can find the most beautiful fish in this aquarium. It's really as if somebody painted over it..."

:)!

-Seriously. Each specie of... fish. sea creatures. I couldn't help but marvel at how unique and how... purposeful each one is made to be. Camouflages are one of the things that most fascinate me. Are you telling me that given a long enough time, each creature was able to 'end up' the way it is through mutations? I don't believe that, dang. For reals, it takes more faith to believe in that. Than in a designer. A really creative, intentional one too.

-Twas refreshing... Most of the crowd consisted of grandmas, grandpas, little kids with their parents... To be able to just put my face super close in front of the glass and stare at these little things that never blink. Thinking about what He was thinking of when He made it. It was quite... free-ing. From all the things that's on my mind. Staring at fish definitely slows things down, hahahaha.

-He knows this is the kind of day that I needed. The free-ing and slowing down I mean... Despite my failures leading up to a 3 hour trip which consisted of spending $10 on the bus, asking 4 different drivers how to get there, and walking more than ever since I believe my Walkathon... puhaha.

-See journaling this type of thing puts so many things into perspective, already...

-Summer. I am not staying in San Diego for longer. De Anza it is, to finish my GE's (praise God). To earn some $. First summer going to summer school since middle school. Also first summer where I am not going to be going on a missions trip since then. In one day, though, He definitely showed me where He wants me to be. Reasons why I wanted to stay in SD longer were mostly selfishness and fear. And well... I think He's told me enough times what He thinks about those.

-I've been pretty drained lately and had to withdraw myself more... It's just a lot of things. But He knows. And sitting at His feet... or trying to... is the only place those things don't seem so overwhelming anymore... Almost like, what was I thinking? What are all these things: my emotions, burdens, 'responsibilities', plans... compared to who He is... They just become so small. Almost insignificant.

-and now I am ready to go back to reading my Spanish assignment. And study for statistics.
