Leveling Out
Life is hard. So many times I feel like I’m running in circles. (Well, maybe walking in circles…I don’t run.) I just feel like I’m not getting anywhere. In high school I always said I was going to go to Freed and grow spiritually; every year I was going to get stronger. But has this really happened? I mean, I have definitely grown, but I feel like it’s more growing...
Lessons from two great Bible classes
Wednesday night in the Henderson college girls class we talked about where we are going. Not where we are, not where we want to be, but where we are going. It was all about making decisions that will put you on the path to where you want to go and continuing to make choices that will keep you on the path.
This semester I am taking a class with Jim Gardner called General Epistles. I am super...
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet...”
– 2 Corinthians 4:16
I can only imagine What it will be like When I walk By your side I can only imagine What my eyes will see When your face Is before me I can only imagine I can only imagine Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel Will I dance for you Jesus or in honour of you be still Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at...
Washing My Cup+Defying Gravity=True Change
I am dirty. I am a dirty cup. It isn’t obvious to the people around me; people don’t look at me and know that I am dirty, but I am. I feel so fake. I am not who I seem to be. I am not who I am trying to be. I am simply a dirty cup.
For a while now I have felt like I’m just living. I get up in the mornings, go through the motions of life during the day, go to bed, and start all...
star-crossed lovers
Writers are encouraged not to use cliches, such as the title of this post. But there was one very famous writer who used them all the time: Shakespeare. His works are full of cliches, but he created them all. There are a lot of cliches that we use today that I didn’t realize came from Shakespeare. We looked over these in class the other day, and there are some that I couldn’t believe...
A FABULOUS Resolution
When I was on Facebook last night I saw where someone had added an application that told them the top ten words they use in their Facebook statuses. I thought this might be fun, so I added it. These were my results:
1):amazing - used 44 times
2):weekend - used 29 times
3):loves - used 28 times
4):yay - used 26 times
5):great - used 24 times
6):happy - used 23 times
7):love - used 21 times

What is this?!
this morning i felt like jack skelington from the nightmare before christmas.
i was shivering. i was slipping over the ground. and i was being pelted in the face by snow as i walked across campus.
being from alabama i am not used to this strange precipitation, but i used to wish for it every winter. i always said if it was gonna be extremely cold it should snow. but i came to the realization...

frost.
this morning i got out of bed and immediately i was freezing again. i got ready and walked outside and sadly became even colder. i hate being cold. if you ask me if i like winter i will respond with an abrupt “no.” winter is my least favorite time of year. as we started on our ride to school i was thinking only about how cold i was. but then i happened to look out my window. i had...
WatchChristina, Lacie, and I were a little silly on New Years Day. Most likely no one else will find this funny….but we laughed FOREVER!!!!
2010?!
wow. as i sit in my best friends apartment waiting for water to boil so i can cook lunch (which takes forever by the way), i am wondering where the past ten years went. i cant believe it has gone by so fast. i feel like i should still be in high school. thinking about the fact that im in my third year of college causes me to nearly hyperventilate. i know this sounds extreme, but i really cant...
