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...

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 ...

We Meet Again

Well, to say that it feels weird to be here again is an understatement. This is a little emotional for me and I'll try to explain why. Firstly, it's been a while since the last time I wrote here. When I typed the address into the search bar, I was actually surprised that a 404 page didn't show up and that, instead, I saw a familiar title and design come up on the screen. There it was - my own writing, published on a web page I undoubtedly spent hours adjusting and tweaking until it was just right, down to the blue and green squares I painted  by hand, scanned into a computer and digitized the old fashioned way with....wait for it.....*Microsoft Paint*.  Illustrator? Pshht. Who needs that when you've got the grandmother of graphic design tools for FREE on your receptionist job work computer? (sarcasm, of course. Adobe, baby, I love you.) But even the details and designs of this page speak to the reason why this is emotional for me. All of the things about this blog that ...
