Tweet I got the urge to write in my blog. I really didn’t have a specific thought in mind, I just wanted to write. So here I am. Forgive my ramblings. Life has been trying lately. Cheerleading has started which always provides ample opportunities to grow in my walk with God. Sadly, I have failed several tests as of late. But by God’s grace I will succeed. I have also realized how fulfulling life can be. Sometimes I think we get stuck in a bubble of our Christian sphere. Life really is enjoyable! It is worth living and it is worth living to it’s fullest. Yes, sometimes the decisions my…

Tweet I do everything on impulse. That’s the way I am. I cut my hair on impulse. I shop on impulse. I eat on impulse. I color my hair on impulse. I treat relationships with impulse. (You could probably more biblically say I live by my current mood/feelings) Growing up, I think this pattern of impulse was ingrained into me. It seems like I make rash, hasty decisions all the time, and am then left to clean up the mess after the fact. God has shown me how much this “living on impulse” has impacted my spiritual life. My devotions are sporadic, my prayer time sporadic. It’s like most other…

Tweet 7th Grade.. I will never forget that year.. So many memories..so many laughs..and so many tears.. We won everything..anyone remember our breakfast at burger King? And spirit week..beating the 8th grade was so much fun. Snow Heim and the 7th grade dwarfs…:) How about the rotating row? What a creative person Mr. Heim is..and he was the coolest class sponsor.. And Brittany’s outbreak..I love you girl..what a long way we’ve come! Remember those science classes and the flagella~ How about there only being like 15 odd of us..bible all together with Mr. Heim..every class was with Mrs. Smith or Mr. Heim..in two different rooms.. how about locker buddies? putt-putt…

Tweet For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to go into medicine. First I wanted to be a doctor, and then a nurse. So I applied for college and to nursing but..I keep having doubts. I’ve been torn up inside over it for the past few months..Honestly, ever since I found out I was going to have to get my blood drawn.. I’m terrified of needles. Plain and simple-the thought of them makes me shudder. But is it enough to make me re-think a whole career? I really want to say no..I know the answer is no..but it doesn’t help calm my nerves. It’s ridiculous-I wish I…

Tweet On a lonely hill He was. Crucified and killed. In between two thieves He hung, no place suitable for a king. Soldiers mocked and spit. People scoffed, “If He is the king, why does He not save himself?” His friends cried in agony, all the while wondering if that was still their Christ. He was barely recognizable. Why one may ponder, did He trudge up that hill, the lonely hill? To save my sins-the sins of the world. It was His true purpose, His destiny. He came to die-He was born so He could die. There on the cross He hung, every sin bearing on His shoulders. The spiritual…

Tweet Especially for being August. One week left. Seven more days of freedom until I was doomed to 180 days of sitting in a desk. Summer had come and gone way too quickly. It just wasn’t right-who’s idea was it to go back in the middle of August anyways. And now it was cold. Not just cool, no it was cold. For my last few days of SUMMER it was cold. So much for shorts, t-shirts, and swimming. Nope, sweatshirts and pants were on the menu. If only it could have waited one week, I wouldn’t have minded. Who cares whether it’s cold or not when you are in a…

Tweet A satellite phone, Eve, and food. Yep-that’s what I would take. I would have food, company, and a way of escape. Can’t think of much else. A bible would be nice, but between Eve and I we could probably come up with enough scripture to keep our spirits up. I have always wondered why this seems like a popular question. How many people actually get deserted on an island and live to tell about it. And I doubt people plan to be deserted so they probably don’t have any of the things they want to have. But oh well..it’s still a fun question and one that will forever remain…

Tweet Sometimes I want to scream..are you listening?! My mouth is moving, but somehow the words must get lost before reaching your ears. I feel like this a lot with my family..don’t get me wrong, I love my family. They are some of the coolest people in the world..but lately they seem to be having issues listening. I will tell them something a million times and they will call an hour later to find out what I’m doing and why I’m not home. It is rather frustrating. But God has a reason for everything and I think He is using this to humble me. All of a sudden, I am…
