    God’s little gifts!

    Tweet This has been a crazy semester and it just started. I think I’ve already logged more time in the library then is good for any normal person. But oh well..hopefully the good grades will pay off someday. On a different note, I have become very thankful for little moments of encouragement. Like Sunday night when one of my sorority sisters and I decided to start praying together! and then yesterday, Angela called and said she was coming to see me!! and a few minutes later I got a call from one of my very good friends at camp! They were gifts from God as I sat in the library…

    Lake Ann Camp Summer 2007

    Tweet I haven’t posted in awhile and I miss my blog so I am going to try to take it up again. I need something to escape from normality and I figured blogging might do it:) This first post of my re-starting of my blogging is going to be about my summer. I think I could write a book about it..honestly. But a blog post will have to work and since there are probably only two of you who still read this, a book is probably overkill. I spent my summer working as a camp counselor at Lake Ann Camp in Michigan. It is a Christian summer camp that runs…

    Tweet so I have to leave for work in an hour..for ten long hours of work. And honestly, I usually don’t mind working, in fact, most of the time I would rather work then do anything else. But today I just want to crawl in bed and do nothing. I don’t want to think or talk to anyone or do anything other then sleep and hope life is different when I wake up. Granted, sleeping will do nothing to change my life currently, but it might make me feel better. I am frustrated and confused. And I have to move on from the past..but it keeps haunting me with what…

    Winter..and life in general currently..

    Tweet So I woke up this morning to it being 21 degrees outside and snow flakes starting to fall. Needless to say that was not the best way to start a Friday morning. Sadly, I hate snow. I don’t know why, but unless I can stay in bed, I would rather it be hot and sunny. When I graduate I am moving somewhere warm, although with my luck I will get a job in Michigan:) but on to a different topic, besides for the weather this is my favorite time of year. I absoultely love the holidays!! They make me so happy!! and I can’t wait to be home with…

    Family..

    Tweet My daddy came to see me last night and took me out to dinner. I have to say it has been the highlight of my week. I love my family. That is one thing I am truely blessed with. God gave me an amazing family with whom I have amazing relationships. My dad is my hero–I respect him more then anyone else in my life. He is my first source of advice and I don’t know what I do without him. I do feel sorry for any guy that tries to date me..he is very protective of his little girl. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. And…

    Sing…

    Tweet How can I keep from singing your praiseHow can I ever say enough how amazing is your loveHow can I keep from shouting your nameI know I am loved by the KingAnd it makes my heart want to sing I was singing at church the other night, and one of my friends told me later that I have a beautiful voice. I laughed it off cuz singing is not my cup of tea. God didn’t bless me with a beautiful voice..or so I think. But I am sitting here thinking about how much I want to sing! But not just to sing, I want to sing to God. I…

    Wow

    Tweet I am utterly amazed at how often I can fail and yet everyday be reminded of how amazing God is. I am listening to a song and the chorus goes, You and I were made to worship. You and I were called to love.You and I are forgiven and free. You and I embrace surrender.You and I choose to believe. You and I will see, we were meant to be.And as I sit here in a computer lab on campus, I realize this is my calling in life. Not to be so busy I have no time to think. Not to get a 4.0. Not to be the best…

    Get back up..

    Tweet I am utterly amazed how many curveballs life throws at you. I know God never intended it to be easy, but I at least thought it would be manageable. And I know it is, but sometimes I feel like everytime I get my bearings, something else comes and knocks the wind right out of my sails. I am supposed to be studying business law..but my mind is so full of thoughts I can’t focus. I am hoping after this I will be able to concentrate on the Constitution. 🙂 So do you ever wonder why people are so thick-headed sometimes. I have realized that I think some people just…

    This impacted me..thought I would share

    Tweet DON’T LEAVE IT ON THE DESK There was a certain Professor of Religion named Dr. Christianson, astudious man who taught at a small college in the western United States. Dr. Christianson taught the required survey course in Christianity atthis particular institution. Every student was required to take this coursehis or her freshman year, regardless of his or her major. Although Dr. Christianson tried hard to communicate the essence ofthe gospel in his class, he found that most of his students looked upon thecourse as nothing but required drudgery. Despite his best efforts, moststudents refused to take Christianity seriously. This year, Dr. Christianson had a special student named Steve. Stevewas…
