Can we act our age...please?

Really?! Do we have to act so dumb and immature?!!!

So I have been in conflict with everyone of my friends over the last week. I am not quite sure how that happens....

I could stay here and vent forever about it, but instead I decided to pray. It is almost as if God is releasing me from these "friends" which leaves me extremely confused.

I wish I knew why this was happening, but I guess it's just something I will have to accept through the pain.....


ugh...life

I see graduation in the horizen....

So I am posting twice in one day....hmm look at that...

I just wanted to vent about my schedule next year, and how much i HATE the last month of school.

I hate papers...projects....and tests with a burning passion...

and I am in kick-butt easy classes.

So I scheduled for next year (Sr. year!!!!!) and I am taking statistics, and calculus 12&3 and physics 1&2 and linear algebra...I got light headed just thinking about it....

Goodbye freetime.

p.s. Did I mention I loathe math? So by next May I will have either graduated or failed out. We'll see....


Oh and I have narrowed down my grad school choices to only 2!!! Now time to hit the GRE books...

Ugh school......

Beauty is the essence of God

Tomorrow is by far one of my favorite holidays. With the hustle and bustle of Christmas and Easter, even the strongest followers of Jesus may get distracted from the true reason we celebrate. That is why on Earth Day I like to reflect on the beauty of God and His creation. When I think about the Earth and everything in it, my head spins at the complexity, but then the realization hits that the same God who formed that intrinsic mass is the same God who tenderly picks me up when I fall....the same God who whispers assurance into my ear...the same God who made a way for us to live. "Even the mountains bow down....." Do not take anything in this Earth for granted.

So tomorrow, as I go outside into this beautiful Earth, I will look at my surroundings and praise Him.

I challenge you to do the same...
if it is raining.....reflect on all of the blessings God has so willingly showered upon you.
if it is sunny......bask in the warmth of His love, knowing that His love in unconditional.
if the birds are singing, if the rabbits are playing haphazardly through the field, if you have to walk over hundreds of worms to get to class.....try to find the beauty in the day because that day is made by our Father, and our Father is the essence of beautiful.

Happy Earth Day!!! :)

Empty and Dry

I need Jesus.....I need him to fill me up so that I can take Him into this devilish world we live in...

I need Him to come to me this week.

I need Him so that I can worship Him for all He has done.


I need my Jesus.

What if I had given everything?


My prayer today as I woke up was for Christ to take me "all the way". A new song from Matthew West captures this thought perfectly. Sometimes I believe that in the business of life, we often get tied down with responsibilities and expectations that have been laid on us. I don't think that there is anything wrong with being busy, but I do think that Satan can use our hectic lives to distract us from our main goal.

When I sit back and think about it, reality hits me like a train. Our number one priority is to worship and serve our Lord, yet so often we just go through the motions of Christianity while we are working out hardest trying to succeed in life. I think that we must realize that success is temporal, as are our possessions, social status, and honestly our relationships. The only thing in this life that hold true permanence is our most important relationship, the one with our Father.

If you are honest with yourself, how much of you time do you spend investing in that relationship comparative to the time we spend investing in success?

This life we live, the air we breathe, the fact that we are relational beings, the blessings we receive every moment...it was all given to us by our Father who watched His own Son be brutally murdered in order for us to have these free conveniences. In spite of this fact, we still mock His sacrifice by NOT living out our relationship with Christ.

Complacency is a fatal epidemic.

I think it's time to break free from complacency, and start living this life for the way our Father intended.

Wouldn't you hate to look back at your life and say... "What if I had given everything....."

A plethora of thoughts...


So, I have always been leery of posting my life in a blog for all the world to see, but I have been following my friend, Bobby, on here, and I thought I would give it a shot :)

I guess this is where I talk about life...
Well...

Its been everything but boring lately. I am four weeks away from being finished with my first semester of the Jr. year of college.... ugh! Senior year! Soooo close! Things are getting extremely stressful and time consuming with papers and projects and exams! :( It will be over soon though!!! yay summer!

Today is my roomie's 20th birthday (well actually tomorrow is) but we are throwing a surprise party for her tonight and taking her to see the Hannah Montana movie...lol how many people ask to see that on their 20th birthday... :) She is oblivious so I hope we can work everything out :)


So, have you ever had someone on your mind, and everything you do to get them out of there fails? Thats definitely what has been going on with me. When I go to sleep, he is in my dreams, when I wake up he captures my thoughts all day long, when I turn on the radio every song reminds me of him. I just don't get it.... *shrug* oh well...

Well, I know there is so much more I could write about...but ya know...this is college, freetime is expensive :)

Adios!
