Tweet so..this was perhaps the hardest week of my college career thus far. On top of exams, which were no walk in the park-I was faced hard on with the reality of cause and effect. You know..every choice has a consequence..whether good or bad. And it brought me to a place of complete brokenness before God..I was literally stuck on my knees. I realized that I had once again tried to take things into my own hands and try my own way to accomplish my goals and dreams and had fallen drastically short. In fact, I think I might have done exactly the opposite of what I wanted to do.…

just some stuff..
Tweet I am putting off my homework..I really need to go do that..but I haven’t written in awhile and I thought I would update this..College has really got me thinking about some stuff..mainly how I treat other people..That saying, “Actions speak louder then words” is so true. I have learned that the best testimony I can have is to love others. Yeah, I may not agree witht their decisions or lifestyle choices, but that doesn’t mean I am allowed to disreguard them. I am under charge from God to love those around me.. even those that are harder to love. And I will say, I miss my friends terribly from…

On a different note..
Tweet Ever wonder why God brings some people into your life for a short time? Why does He allow us to meet the most awesome people and then uproot them from our lives? Perhaps it is for their good, and perhaps it is for our good..or, and more likely..it is for both. I joined a sorority this year..something I never thought I would do and God has brought so many awesome people and opportunities into my life. One of those people was an amazing girl named Nicole. I am honestly not sure what I would have done without her these last few months. And I am going to miss her…

A bright spot in a gloomy week..
Tweet I had a crazy busy week..I hardly had time to talk to my parents, much less anyone else. I spent 14 hours studying and worked and did sorority stuff and managed to sleep a little in there too. Needless to say, it was a stressful week that sadly, isn’t going to get any less stressful until Thanksgiving break. But one of my best friends from back home called last night and told me that her and our friend Angela are coming to see me! Now you must understand..these two girls are my lifeline..(well, maybe it isn’t quite that bad..but it’s close) I love them with everything in me and…

another time, another place
Tweet Do you ever wish you were in another time or another place? Do you ever wonder we never seem content where we are? Well, maybe you are a lot different then me, but it seems like I am always looking forward to the next thing instead of enjoying the moment. First, I was excited about college, now I want to be working and married, who knows what will be next. 🙂 ok..so maybe it’s not quite that bad. I must admit I love college! I love meeting new people, I love staying up till 3 in the morning and no one caring, I love studying my brains out for…

in all things there is God…
Tweet My hardest class this semester has by far been Biology 121: Anatomy and Physiology. A pre-req. for nursing, I had to take it and I have to get a good grade. But while I have spent many hours and will spend many more hours pouring away over notes and labs, one thing has stuck out to me over and over. In all things is God. Or in more proper English-God is in everything and is everything. The Bible says even creation will tell of His glory. And as I sit in class and listen to my professor talk about all the small, tiny details of our anatomy I can’t…

And you thought cheerleading wasn’t a sport..
Tweet Drills and SpillsAs cheerleaders fly higher, injury rates rise and some falls are crippling, even fatal. New rules could help. By Arian Campo-FloresNewsweekIt was a dream come true for Ashley Burns when the lithe 14-year-old with the blue-ribboned ponytail and squeaky voice learned in July that she’d landed a cherished spot on the varsity cheerleading squad at Medford Vocational-Technical High School in Massachusetts. To celebrate, she and a friend got pedicures and tooled around town in a convertible blasting their favorite tunes. One week after joining the team, Burns was at practice, preparing to perform a stunt called a “double down.” Held aloft by four cheerleaders gripping one of…
