    Fiery Darts

    Tweet Things with God have been amazing lately. I committed at the beginning of this year to read through my Bible throughout this year and to really get involved in some intensive study and accountability. I started a Beth Moore Bible study entitled Believing God with several girls from my church. It has been stretching already and we just started three weeks ago. I have also made my daily quiet time more of a habit then it has ever been in my life. My prayer time has been good and I have seen God increase my faith and devotion to Him. But..there’s always a but..:) I have also seen Satan…

    Finally an update..

    Tweet So I don’t know if anyone ever reads this anymore, but upon a request I am updating it. I don’t know how much anyone knows, but my life has been crazy the last few months. It started with yet another major change the day before Christmas break. I am now double majoring in Business Education and Economics and after this crazy semester (I am taking 18 credit hours) and then 9 more crammed into five weeks of summer school, I will finally be only two semesters of classes and one more of student teaching away from finally graduating! I am so excited and think I finally discovered my calling…

    I’m the "lucky" one

    Tweet So two weeks ago to the day I had my two upper wisdom teeth removed. I don’t have any on the bottom-lucky me. So anyways, this was supposed to be an easy in easy out surgery and I had plans to attend a wedding Saturday and try to enjoy some of my Thanksgiving break. Needless to say, I pretty much slept from Tuesday through Sunday taking a break in there to get violently sick from the dumb pain medicine:( it was miserable. I have never been in so much pain. Sunday I had to make the trek back to college which was alright..I was actually feeling a little better–needless…

    Drama Queen

    Tweet I have realized as of late, I tend to be a bit of a drama queen. I think I always knew this, but it has become more evident as of late. I tend to react in very dramatic ways-usually tears are involved and always either the worst possible or best possible scenario is playing out in my mind. All this to say that things rarely turn out how I imagine them and I am left feeling a little stupid for overreacting and trying to clean up all the messes I have made. Thankfully, I am slowly learning that often saying nothing is often best. That giving myself some time…

    In the Spirit of Volunteerism

    Tweet So my new passion has become volunteering. I suppose not a bad passion to have except that it takes up any extra free time I had and is forcing me to be more dilligent to do my schoolwork when I have time..such as now:) but I will get back to it shortly. Being that I don’t like school it is this volunteering that is keeping me sane. I am currently going to the YWCA two nights a week and I love it!! I want to do this with my life, but alas probably should have majored in social work or some related field. However, I will do as much…

    Water

    Tweet So–a water main burst last night and we have been without water for 12 hours. I know doesn’t seem like a lot..but all of campus is without it so no showers, no toliets, and no AC. It’s sad..and hot..and smelly:) Hopefully they will get it fixed soon..I want a shower..

    Debating

    Tweet So first of all, here’s a little insight-my mind works about two years in advance. I don’t know why this is. I think part of it is just me not being content, but I’m a planner. I always have been. I like to know what’s going to happen and what’s going on. I want to know exactly when things are going to take place-this I realize takes some of the enjoyment out of spontanity which I enjoy but only when it comes to not serious things like my plans for Friday night. So I am here placed with a debate. Maybe someone has some insight or can at least…

    Stop it

    Tweet So I should be sleeping..but I have too many thoughts going through my head to attempt to sleep, plus I am waiting for my best friend to get here! Do you ever just want to tell people to stop it? That’s kinda how I feel right now..I just want people to stop-to stop telling me what I should and should not do. To stop telling me without this or that I am going to regret life or not make any money. To let me change my mind every freaking day and that be ok. I am just tired of it. I came to college being promised the best years…

    dragging

    Tweet Do you ever feel like you are just dragging? Like every time you pick up your foot to take a step, it feels like someone put lead there instead. That about sums up this semester so far. It started out well, but has just been kinda rough lately. I think a lot of it has to do with not being content with the place I am right now and struggling to see why God has me here-what my purpose is in this location. But I am confident that there is a reason–I just have to be faithful to trust in God and know that I just need to be…
