From a dear friend..
Tweet A dear friend sent this to me today and it was exactly what I needed.. God has a way of working just how and when you need Him. Be encouraged today. I want to encourage and challenge you to do something today, as well as the rest of this week. Isaiah 43 says that we are REDEEMED–beautiful in Him and that we are HIS. He has called YOU by NAME. 2 Cor 5 says that we have been made into a NEW CREATION and that we are the Lord’s righteousness. And Romans 8 says there is NO MORE condemnation. Oh, the beauty of liberation. i want you to allow…

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…

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…

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…

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…
