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…

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…

FAITH
Tweet FAITH “Every moment of every minute of every day is to be filtered through the reality that God is ever-present.” -Pastor Doug This morning in chapel Pastor Doug spoke to us about faith. Faith is one of those words you always hear about, but don’t often take the time to figure out what it really means. He said the quote above and it stuck with me. It got me thinking about how different my day would be if that were true of my life. If I lived my life according to that, what would be different about how I viewed my day. The first thing that popped into my…

Be Careful What You Wish For
Tweet Be Careful What You Wish For.. Last night as I was coming home from the basketball games, I was talking to one of my friends about the rest of my weekend. I had to work all day Saturday and was so not looking forward to it. I don’t like my job so much and standing on my feet for 4 1/2 hours did not sound like fun. My back hurt, my knee hurt, I had a headache and so on. So I made the remark..perhaps I could wake up tomorrow morning with a fever so I wouldn’t have to go into work..yay, that sounded like a good idea to…

Something that has been bothering me
Tweet Something that has been bothering me.. As of late, it seems my posts are being attacked with comments that are negative and to be frank, hurt. I am writing from my heart, and if you think I have erred in some way, I will be more then happy to admit and fix things. However, leaving nameless comments that do nothing more then tear me down do not help. I realize that their may be several people in my life I have hurt-whether knowingly or unknowingly. It saddens me that they use my blog to show their anger or hurt. I truly wish they would come talk to me. I…

Conseco
Tweet Conseco Last night our varsity guys basketball team had the awesome opportunity to play at conseco fieldhouse. And since I’m a cheerleader, I got to go and cheer. Let me tell you, it almost made cheerleading worth it. I can now say I’ve cheered on the same court the Pacers play on! And although our guys suffered a very disappointing loss, it was a blast! It was amazing how big it was, and how little and insignificant you feel out there-looking up at the stands and seeing no one. And how quiet you are..especially when there’s only 5 of you!:) We got the coolest dressing room in the whole…

Guys and Girlfriends
Tweet Guys and Girlfriends.. If there is one thing in this world that doesn’t mix it’s guys and girlfriends. I have been on both ends of this..and I can tell you, no matter how many promises you make, they don’t mix. “I’d never choose a guy over you they say” and I have in fact said this myself. But once you start to like a guy and find the feeling is mutual, things are never the same. Oh, they may think it is..but the only thing they talk about is this guy. And instead of wanting to hang out with you on their open Friday nights, they want to hang…

Odds and Ends
Tweet Odds and Ends Today was the first day of finals, and my birthday! All my hard ones are over..yay!! Not much else.. Last night was the survivor finale..Sandra won. Not the person whom I wanted, but still she deserved it more than the other person. Jon was finally voted off…I can’t believe how far he made it. Just shows the sinfulness of our culture..and the acceptance of wrong as right. I wish D had won..she was my favorite person on the show! But hey, she got super far and will probably still get some modeling jobs out of the deal! I am a die hard survivor fan!! So now,…
