    Attitude Adjustment

    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…

    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

    Right now My Mind is Blank

    Tweet Right now My Mind is Blank I decided to write in my blog, but right now my mind is blank. Hopefully soon I will come up with something to write about. well, nothing is coming. Sorry..perhaps this weekend I will have something to write about. I hope you all stay sane in the midst of the huge amounts of homework our teachers have felt impelled to give us lately. I feel your pain, I know how despairing it can be. But take heart, only 3 and 1/2 months left. And I hope, pray that they don’t continue on this rate. Good Luck! Have a great day! Talk soon!

    Tweet Once upon a time.. In a faraway land, there lived a beautiful princess… blah blah blah..and they lived happily ever after. So begins and ends every fairy tale. I loved these stories when I was younger, I always imagined myself as the beautiful princess, awaiting my knight in shining armor to come carry me away into the most beautiful sunset. At some point when I was younger, a lady came to speak at my old church on this very topic. Well, probably love. But I remember her talking about what happens after the ride into the sunset. My mom bought me her tapes, and she tells you the story…

    Tweet My mind has been blank as to what to write in my blog lately. Life has taken several unexpected turns and none of them are things which I care to blog about. I thought I would take time to share with you some things God has been teaching me lately..maybe it will be an encouragement to you as well. I think one of the over-riding things God is trying to teach me is just how little I can do on my own. I often try to do everything, and end up depressed and exhausted. Also with smite we are going through the book A Purpose Driven Life. I have…
