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...

How do you feel about that?

Like I got hit by a truck.  Like a cement block got dropped on my entire body.  Like the wind was knocked out of me.  Like a deer in the headlights.  Like I got slapped and at first it was numb and now it stings. But. . . "In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.  These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."   1 Peter 1:6-7 It's worth it.

From desiringGod Blog

From a blog I follow called  desiringGod .  The whole website is full of truth.  I encourage you to check it out.  I've enlarged and boldened sentences I think are especially well said.   Not Your Mother's Kind of Tolerance by Jonathan Parnell | August 2, 2012   Views that advocate same-sex marriage are free to exist, but they are wrong. Now, stop. Read the above sentence again. Are you okay with it? Chances are how you feel about that statement indicates your understanding (or misunderstanding) of tolerance. D. A. Carson, in his book, The Intolerance of Tolerance , explains that Western culture isn't exactly firing on all cylinders when it comes to knowing what tolerance is. He distinguishes two different concepts of this word: old tolerance and new tolerance. Old tolerance — that is, before the onslaught of postmodernism — defines the concept as to "accept the existence of different views." New tolerance, however, defines tolerance ...
