An Update

I haven't posted much lately and of those that I have posted, most have been answers to the 50 Questions that will free your mind so I think an update on me is in order.  So here's a few random things that have been going on in my life.

A while ago I talked about how I was very torn and confused and felt like I was standing in the middle of a storm. The tug-of-war in my mind hasn't changed very much but it feels like the storm that struck up every time I went to think about the situation has quieted down. The way I am viewing the situation is changing (and has already changed a considerable amount).  I know that it's only by the grace of God that I feel a lot better about it so I'm thankful.

On a different note. . . 
I've been working this fall but I am thinking and praying about taking one or two classes at IPFW this spring semester.  Trying to decide if that's something God wants me to invest my money and time in or if He has other things for me right now.  I'm praying about doing other types of schools or internships as well as some volunteering but since if I were to take IPFW classes this spring there would be steps I need to take NOW, it's a little more pressing.  It's kind of tough but He knows and He'll let me know in good time so I'm not worried.

On another note. . . 
Tomorrow night I will be going to my first midnight showing of none other than. . . . the TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN Pt. 1!!!!!!!!!!1
I am suuuuuuuuuppppperrrrrr excited.  Not only for the movie but also for the event I'm looking forward to it being.  And, since I'm already sharing this, I may as well share what I'll be wearing to the momentous occasion: a t-shirt with Edward's face on the front.  Under a sweater with a picture of Jacob that has fake wolf ears attached to the hood.  Now, I do feel that an explanation is called for.  I am not what some refer to as a Twi-hard fan.  I do, however have a great appreciation for the story-in the form of books and movies-and I do enjoy going all out on things from time to time so I have decided to make the most of this and just have a good time.  
I can't promise that I won't be annoyed with all the crying and screaming of the tween girls from time to time throughout the night tomorrow night  (which will undoubtedly be a part of it).  But I've decided to just have fun and get amusement and enjoyment out of the fact that they are enjoying themselves so much.  After all, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em right? 
 
So there's a very general explanation of what's going down in my life.  It's late and I need to get to bed so goodnight and goodbye.

to just BE

This semester of college is officially over as of last friday when I emailed my english teacher my final essays.  Halleluyer! I just checked and the last time I posted here was almost a month ago. It definitely feels like waaaay longer though and I've been itching to write again.  I've basically abandoned my podcast the past few weeks as well and while I don't feel all guilt tripped to be more consistent about these things, I really just want to do them more often simply because I enjoy them.  Probably needless to summarize, I've been busy.  But not always with matters I had no choice in.  Some of the busyness came from having spent my time reading or watching netflix shows while I cleaned my room or crocheting (or trying to) a full-size blanket or just chilling with Jake, etc. etc. etc.  Truth is that yes, I've been busy but no, I didn't have to be as busy as I have been.  However, being busy, I have accomplished things and I'm glad about that.  I guess it

Clear The Stage

This song was first brought to my attention a few months ago - when one of my biggest idols was being exposed for what it really was. Since I've been learning all along, but especially today, that vulnerability is something that should increase as you become more and more rooted in the Lord, I will be vulnerable with you here and now.  One of my biggest idols for about half of my life was liking guys.  And while it was specific guys that I would like, my idol was moreso just having someone to daydream, think, talk and pray about. I realize that liking somebody isn't sin in itself.  I actually think that romanctic love is one of the big ways that the Lord is glorified through our hearts as humans.  It became an idol though, because I allowed it to be my god.  I based my relationship with God on how my love life was.  When someone would ask me how I was, I would reply based on my relationship with the person I liked.  When I prayed, a majority of the content of my

Seasons: Right Now

As it has only been since last night that I wrote my first post in my new series, "Seasons", I don't necessarily have a whole lot more to say about my planning for the posts so I think I'm gonna dive right in. Something I like doing is sitting in coffee shops while I blog (VERRY original, I know).  I'm in one right now and have a Pumpkin Pie Chai on one side of the table and a Coconut Chocolate Chip Scone on the other (now you can be jealous of my overpriced and extremely unhealthy consumptions so far today).  This brings me to the first season I'm gonna talk about . . . . RIGHT NOW. Right now I'm 19 years old.  I'm about 3 1/2 months away from moving to Kansas City for at least six months to do an internship at the International House of Prayer.  I'm not a mom, not a wife and for sure don't have everything even close to figured out.  I would go so far as to say that I barely have anything figured out.  Now you're probably trying to fig
