    Staring..

    Tweet Sometimes I look in the mirrorAnd the girl staring back at meIs not the one I want to seeI see all the mistakesAll the broken promisesCommitments made and then forgotten I see a life marred by sinA girl who wants so hard to follow ChristBut gets so easily entangled in the worldAnd then wonders what went wrongDetermination that is deterred by othersStrength that is weakened in moments of indecision And then I slowly crawl back into the arms of GodPouring out my tears and fears and moments of regretKnowing this is where I should have been all alongInstead of trying so hard on my ownAnd for one moment I…

    Christian??

    Tweet Have you ever thought about what you are doing with your life? How you are living every moment? Do you think about the people watching you? Do you even care? Is it all about me and how I feel?? Are Christians raising the banner of Christ high or are we smashing His work on the cross to a mere religion that no one else wants to follow? I got a really neat job this summer, but I must say it has opened my eyes to one major flaw with Christianity. We far too often lose our witness to unsaved people because we do stupid things. I work with the…

    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…

    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…

    My Brother

    Tweet He is seriously one of the coolest guys I know.. I take him for granted a lot, but of all the people in the world, he sticks up for me the most. He’s always talking about me and defending me to my parents. And he’s a hard worker..the little guy has ran more miles in the past few months then I have my whole life. He switched schools and public schools take cross country a whole lot more serious. He was running like 40 miles a week-no complaints either. And he’s had to put his social life on hold for a little while because he committed to CC. I…

    What I want to accomplish before I turn 30!

    Tweet What I want to accomplish before I turn 30! Hum..I can think of lots of things..saving the world, finding my true love, wisking away to a far away enchanted place, being rich, living in a huge house..LOL..ok, back to reality:) In reality, I want to graduate from college, hopefully get married and get started in missions work. Although it seems like 30 is an eternity away, it is in all reality not that far. My goals right now are more short termed..like getting through the rest of this year, SMITE and getting ready for college. By the time I’m 30, I will hopefully have decided I have enough schooling…

    Perspective

    Tweet Perspective.. For homecoming the cheerleaders are teaching the 4th-6th grade girls a cheer to perform. (although no 6th graders showed up) anyways, we are teaching them the first cheer we ever learned. As I showed them the motions and watched them struggling through it, I was reminded of when I first learned that cheer. I looked just like them-not understanding what I was supposed to do and how in the world I was going to get my arms to move that way. Now it’s as natural as talking. I thought about how sometimes we struggle in an area for awhile, but then we think we’ve mastered it so we…

    I Resolve.

    Tweet I Resolve… It’s that time of year again..when we all make our lists of new year resolutions. Sadly, these tend to last until the middle of February and if we’re lucky maybe even March. So I decided this year to limit my resolutions to five..that way I should be able to tackle them all. 1. I resolve to spend more time with the Lord. I am going to work hard at giving Him first place and making time for Him in the morning and evening..even if that means less sleep, and my hair goes up in a ponytail some days. 2. I resolve to decide where I want to…
