Tweet Attitude Adjustment I hate those two words..I usually associate them with words like heart issue. But lately, God has shown me that I need an attitude adjustment. As I have posted on before, we are reading through the book A Purpose Driven Life. And this past week, one of the chapters was entitled “What Matters Most”. The answer was relationships. And I agree..which is where my need for an attitude change comes in. Right now, more then anything, I want to get away. I’m sick of dealing with people, I’m sick of immature humans who won’t let things die, I’m sick of paying attention in my classes, I’m sick…

The Friday Five
Tweet The Friday Five Because I think Mr. Harmless is super cool and because I want to branch out in my blogging..I’m joining him in the Friday Five. Although this week and next will be a little late..sorry! Perhaps more of you will join..if not enjoy reading!:) If you… 1. …owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve? I would serve Italian food. I love pasta and my relatives are Italian so it sorta seems natural. Other then that I don’t have much other reasons. 2. …owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell? Clothing for the girl going to a Christian school. I hate…

Tweet Thoughtful Ever feel like giving up? Throwing in the towel and quitting? Sadly, those were exactly my feelings as this cheerleading season came to a close. I was literally counting down the hours until it would all be over. Although the season started out great, it slowly went downhill and came to the point where I dreaded it. I’m not saying I had the right attitude, because looking back I don’t think I did..but that was my attitude. Lately though, God has been showing me how even things like cheerleading, and maybe especially things like cheerleading bring out character and serve as countless learning and growing opportunities. But on…

My Dream Profession-extra credit
Tweet My Dream Profession-extra credit I have always wanted to be a fashion merchandiser. They are the people that travel to all the fashion shows and purchase styles for companies to sell. Ever wondered why stores sell certain things and not others? That’s where a fashion merchandiser comes in. It’s not very practical for having a family due to all the travel. But I think it would be the coolest job. They make really good money too-especially if you work for a company that is full of money. Just think, you would have the power to choose what a company sells and what they don’t. And since I love to…

Defeat
Tweet I am lost- once again in my life I’m admitting defeat. My plans aren’t working, my agenda doesn’t seem to be the one God has, and fighting against Him is pointless. All I’ve done is make my family mad at me, my friendships suffer, and myself miserable. All my life it’s been so easy to wake up and put on a mask, its become part of my wardrobe. I try to mask my pain, my heartache, my feelings of utter loneliness. I know the right thing..I know I should trust in God, I know I shouldn’t be lonely..and I could go on about what I know..but somewhere simply knowing…

Prayer Request
Tweet Prayer Request I have a request to make of all those who read my blog. Will you take a minute and pray for my family? My dad lost his job today and life all of a sudden turned into a big question mark. Thankfully, God has a perfect plan in all this and He will work it out to our good, however, sometimes even though that is true, it is hard to accept and believe. Especially admist trials. So I would appreciate your prayers. Thanks

A Question Posed by my Youth Pastor
Tweet A Question Posed by my Youth Pastor What’s your favorite way to worship God? In Sunday school, we are going through the book A Purpose Driven Life. This past week the two chapters we were supposed to read were on the topic of worship. It seems worship is a rather touchy subject at some churches, and often ignored all-together. The author of the book pointed out that God made each of us different and each of us will worship God differently. So today, my youth pastor-PW- asked us this question. It got me thinking, how often to I actually think about worshipping God. And what truly is my favorite…

An Interesting Thought
Tweet An interesting Thought Being yourself is going is going to be the hardest thing your do in your life. -Whoopi Goldberg Although I wouldn’t go to Whoopi for all my life advice, I seriously think she hit the mark on this one. So often we are made fun of for who we are, and we ourselves can fall into the trap of making fun of others for who they are. I can definitely see the truth of this in my own life. For years I have struggled to just be myself, I would always change who I was to fit who I was with. Not until recently have I…

The Passion of the Christ
Tweet The Passion of the Christ Very few times in my life have I seen a movie that was so moving, so painful to watch, and so frustrating all at the same time. Never can I remember crying so hard during a movie. Hollywood has created a lot of movies that were bloody and graphic, but this one was real. My savior actually went through that, and the actual extent of His pain and agony could never be captured on the big screen. If you haven’t see the movie, stop reading here! If you have seen the movie, or care to listen to me talk about it, continue on. There…
