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.…

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…

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…

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…

Tweet Are you paying attention? Because like it or not, the rest of the world is watching us. Every decision we make not only gives the world an opinion of us, but of our friends, our church, and most importantly-our Savior. Do you realize that? Are you thinking about that? I must be honest when I say I am frustrated with some of my Christian friends..I love them all dearly, and they are closer to me then anyone-but I wish they realized how they are representing their Savior. I would honestly be ashamed to bring some of my friends from college home because they would instantly have a view of…

Tweet That’s what the Bible claims-it has everything in there for life and Godliness. And amazing thing is-it’s true! I was having an awful week and was about one day away from packing up and coming home when one of my friends challenged me to read my Bible everyday before getting on the computer and I took him up on the challenge. So today, I got back from class-discouraged, in tears, and ready to quit. I instantly jumped on the computer to start my math homework when I remembered our deal so I got out my Bible and the study I have been doing and worked on it. Funny how…

Tweet Ever since I can remember, I believed in God. But until recently, I think part of me believed in God because that was what I was taught and what was expected. Then I packed up my life and moved four hours from home to attend a state college in a town where I knew exactly 4 people. I can honestly say, nothing could have prepared me for this. I have learned a lot over the past few years, but everyday having my faith tried and my belief in a God questioned is not something I was prepared to deal with. Add being homesick to that and what I was…

Tweet That is one word that hasn’t been in my vocabulary since August. It seems I am never comfortable–it’s too cold, too hot, too rainy, too sunny–and those are just the superficial things. In all reality, I am not comfortable in my surroundings which is a very good thing. For a long time, I was comfortable–I went to school with my friends, went to church with my friends, hung out on the weekends with my friends and my life went on smoothly. Then August 29th I picked up and started school four hours from home knowing almost no one with no idea what to expect and how things were going…
