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.

Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses. Write about the first time you broke the law. When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question.  Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to. An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful. Write about the passing of a loved one. My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience wa...

Christmas Eve Eve

Today is Christmas Eve Eve.  I worked almost all day.  I'm very thankful for the hours and I didn't have other plans so I didn't mind being there. One of my managers kept asking me if I was in a bad mood though.  I think 3 times she asked me this today between the two shifts that I worked.  At first I just thought I wasn't really paying attention to my facial expressions since I was busy and tired (I tend to look mad when I'm not paying attention and tired). Then I started thinking about it more and I realized that maybe there was something wrong deep down and I hadn't even noticed it. There has been quite a bit on my mind for the past few months and especially this past week or so- I had noticed that- but I didn't know it had gotten to me so much.  I am thankful though because it gives me an opportunity to give the burden to the Lord.  This whole thing has made me think that even though there is noticeably something on my heart the fact that Christmas i...

Wounded with Love

" You have wounded me with your love and I'll never be the same again I try to run, I try to hide but my heart burns it burns with your fire set a fire down in my soul that I can't contain and I can't control I want more of you God   I love you Lord I don't care what it looks like " This wound is one that I love.  This wound draws me back to you time and time again.  I try to walk away but my heart has been awakened to love and now I can't turn away.  This hurt keeps me yearning for more of the love that changed me forever.  This seal that has been stamped on my heart will forever brand me Yours. At first it didn't make sense to me.  At first I didn't understand how a wound would ever be good, but then you showed me that you had to wound me for my heart to be replaced with yours.  At first I wanted to run and I tried to, but you wouldn't let me get away from something so wonderful.  You don't force me to stay- but the impact ...
