Micah
Tweet Tomorrow my really good friend Micah is shipping out to the Navy in hopes of someday becoming a Navy SEAL. And I decided I hate it when people leave–this has happened a lot in my life in the past two years and I know it is only an indication of what is to come, but that doesn’t take away the sting. As I sit here, my mind is flooded with memories and I can’t help but wonder when I will see him again. I know in everything God has a plan and I know that there is nothing Micah would rather be doing. He’s ready to go and I…

God’s Will
Tweet For once in my life I think I have figured out what God’s will is for me..I truly believe He wants me at USI. He’s opened so many doors, and provided so many opportunities as well as given me a peace about I haven’t know in a long time..so why am I still wondering and dreading it? Why am I not jumping up and down for joy and praising God for His goodness and faithfulness? Why am I scared to call my roommate? Why do I dread the thought of making new friends and leaving my current ones? Because I am scared and selfish. I don’t want to make…

God is AWESOME!!
Tweet God is AWESOME! He really is..and I have learned that lately in the oddest ways. One being my awesome summer jobs! I work several mornings and Friday’s at a Chiropractor’s office and I love it! It’s all hands on work which is awesome and I work with the best people. Then I spend every afternoon with a bunch of disobedient kids at day camp. But as awful as they are sometimes, I love the job. I could write a book on all the experiences, but I will do that later. Plus Miss Amanda and Miss Smith are awesome co workers! Another way is through a dream that I am…

Laughing to crying…all in a breath
Tweet This has been the story of my life since summer started. I seriously go from laughing to crying in a matter of moments. I have never been a super emotional person, but as soon as I graduated I turned into one and I don’t like it. Everything in life has an upside and a downside..and I am for the first time in life struggling with looking at the downside. Instead of enjoying time with friends, I am thinking of how soon I will be leaving. Instead of being thankful for my parents, I complain..and the list goes on and on. But I must say I have two of the…

I found this on Amanda’s blog
Tweet The Keys to Your Heart You are attracted to obedience and warmth. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you’re told that you’re loved. You’d like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future… one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You’ll treasure marriage and treat it as…

Graduation!
Tweet So my high school career is over! I am officially a graduate of Faith Christian School-I have joined the ranks of 125 allumi! As I embark on a new journey and time in life, I must say I will miss deeply the chapter I have just closed. See, my class is the best group of people you will ever meet! They are 34 of the most amazing people I know and I will deeply miss their influence in my life and their daily laughs, smiles, and words of encouragement. It was a bitter sweet day! I am so excited to be done with high school. Like a wise now…

Finishing Well…
Tweet “Finish Strong” Those two words have been uttered more in the past month then I care to count. But what does finishing strong or well look like and mean? Does it mean just doing what you are doing? or stepping it up? And honestly, it’s hard to finish strong when you are in one sense finished. I am admitted to college, basically done with my classes, and 12 days out from graduating-so why are these last few days so important? Because that’s how people will remember me. Yes, I wish it weren’t true..but I have the ability by my actions in the next few days to leave either a…

Senior Trip ’05
Tweet Deserves a book, not just a post..but since I only have a post and limited time this will have to do. First of all, I just have to say I love my class! They are seriously some of the coolest people you will ever meet. I got to know a lot of them a lot better and it was awesome. Things you never knew about people until you live with them or spend 12 hours on a bus with them. I also must say I am going to miss them so much next year..it’s hard to think we are graduating soon and never again will I see all of…
