Tweet SATs SATs are the best way to ruin someone’s confidence and future plans. One bad day and you are stuck going to a community college studying the art of folding clothes. It’s like-who cares. Colleges should pick a new equaller-one that is actually possible to do well on if you are not a genius. You can be a staight A student..but get a lousy SAT score and be marked forever. Not to mention that once you take them the first time, it kinda ruins your desire to ever take them again. 4 hours of doing the same thing over and over-talk about boring. So to all of you who…

Tweet I decided I hate moving on. I know it is a necessary part of life-people must move on and so must I-but that still doesn’t mean I like it. Sometimes I question God’s doing in things-it’s as if, I have all this knowledge-I know God is good, His way is perfect..but then, BANG-someone decides it is time to move on. And of course, it is usually someone very near to my heart, someone I respect and look up too. But it is not my place to question God..and while I still don’t like it, I will have to put my trust in God and learn to rely on Him.…

Tweet God’s grace is amazing! Do you realize that? Lately, I have been overwhelmed by the presence of God’s grace in my life. I am amazed that I can get up every morning and trust that God has my life in His hands. Yes, I’ve shed my share of tears lately-but I am over and over reminded that God is enough. He has provided for me in some awesome ways. And although my dad is still jobless-I know this is part of His plan too. If for no other reason then to bring me to a place of utter reliance on God. Right now-I have no idea how things are…

Tweet I seem to have run out of the blogging juices-they just aren’t flowing. But yet, I am still inclined to write. So when I do think of something to say I will write..right now I have to eat or I would finish my thought..

Tweet This was the title for this weeks blog, and as I was thinking about it, one thought came into my head..will I ever make it to heaven? It honestly doesn’t seem like it’s coming fast enough. not that I want to die tomorrow..but I really can’t wait for heaven. there have been some things lately that in my mind seem like they went really wrong..I know God has a perfect plan, but I really can’t wait to get to heaven and never have a problem again. It’s going to be beyond words. To echo a song by Mercy Me, “I can only imagine..” Seeing Christ face to face is…

Tweet ugh..I just wrote this long post and now it is gone. oh well, guess it wasn’t something that was supposed to be posted. (not that is was bad or anything..) Just want to leave you with a verse I’ve been working on applying to my life. I struggle with gossip and I hate it when I know other people do it, so I figured I should probably be working on it myself. Psalm 19:14, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in your sight Oh Lord, my rock and my redeemer.:

Tweet I hate gossip. I hate it more then a lot of things. But I was reading my bible last night, and I realized I am so often at fault for doing the very thing I hate. I cannot stand it when my “friends” talk about me..it is just not friendly. But how often am I talking about them? more then I care to admit-although not all of it is gossip. Matthew says to take the log out of your eye before you look at the spec in anothers. I can’t get mad or confront other people on gossiping when I myself am doing the same thing. Not that I…

Tweet Prom! Well-I got the chance! For so long I have wanted to go to prom, and I finally got to go. Honestly, I can’t tell you what attracted me so much to it-perhaps the allure of it all or the fact that my school doesn’t have one. But regardless, it was one of those things I’ve wanted to do. And I had so much fun! :)Well, I’m not going to expand on anything else here. I don’t want to bore you all with the details!

Tweet Have you ever gotten in one of those sentimental, mushy moods where everything seems to make you tear up? (I know guys, you probably can’t relate!) Lately for some odd reason, it seems like there are a lot of things in my life that I miss. Things that aren’t good or bad, right or wrong, just things that have come and gone over my life. and lately, whether it’s been conversations, other people, or even just a thought-I start to miss things.. I sit and ponder over why things have happened the way they have..how come things couldn’t have just turned out perfectly.. or at least what I thought…

Tweet It’s Not Over Yet! I think most of us are in the “Can’t wait to get out” mentality. There isn’t much of school left and most of us are so ready for it to be summer. I know I can’t wait. But you will never know or realize how much of life you will miss by always looking forward to the next great thing. Matt. 6:34 says, “Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Every day is a God given chance to glorify Him and grow to become more like His Son. But so many times…
