| Two months and one day since my last entry. Who even knows if anyone reads my site anymore. But for those of you who do, here is a long over due update...
Life has been way too busy for me. I know that I brought it upon myself, but some days I just can't take it. I think I am slowly inching towards that burn-out point. Every day that I wake up, my day is very strictly scheduled for me. Each morning and evening are full of events, meetings, classes, work, intership... where is the room for me to be a real college student? I look back towards my freshman year when I did random fun acts... but now I don't even have the time to think about being random. Too bad I find so much comfort in being so busy...
God has really been working in my life. He has blessed me beyond belief and I can't begin to thank him with the appropriate measure. I am truely understanding the concept of unconditional love. Slowly I am beginning to comprehend that even if the world turns against me, He will not. To Him, I am completely beautiful. To Him, I am a wonderous creation. He loves me... and that makes my heart smile.
My heart goes out to any lady out there that is feeling unloved. I've been there. I understand what it is like to be surrounded by loving friends and family, but feel so alone. I understand what it feels like to be hopelessly trapped in your ugly nature. I understand how desperate tears and prayers can be. I also understand how much I am loved by God. And I pray that every hurting woman out there can understand that too. | | |
| First of all...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
The reason why it is a merry day? Because two thousand years ago a savior was born. A savior that came to this world to show us what love truely is and to bestow it on His creation. I don't know who I would be today or what I would do if Jesus didn't come to this earth.
I have been having a hard time this holiday with how the rest of the world treats it. The holiday has become so freakin' commericalized. Half of the people who celebrate Christmas don't celebrate it because it is Jesus' birthday. They celebrate it because it is a Halmark Holiday! They measure the success of their Christmas by the amount of presents they have or how many cards they have received.
I guess I feel that America has lost sight of what we are truely celebrating... | | |
| I'm so bored right now... I'm going to update my Xanga...
Home for Thanksgiving once again. Man the year has flown by. One thing that I love to do is look back one year and see what has changed. I love to see what God has done in my life. Here are some of the highlights...
1. Last November I was without one of my Bestest of Best friends in the world simply because I had not met her yet. It's hard to imagine that we haven't be friends all our life...
2. I was not an RA! I believe it was around this time last year I was offered the job, but I had yet to move in.
3. I did not have the love of my life, my dog, Sydney... How did I even exist? Yes... I am slightly obsessed.
Those are some of the things off the top of my head. I'm sure I could list about 500 kajillion amazing things that God has done in my life in the past year. The blessings he gives me are unbelievable!
And on a final note... I would just like to ask every single person to remember how lucky we are on this Thanksgiving day. Please remember the blessings that we have been given. We live in a country where we can proclaim Jesus' name out loud. We have the money to put a great feast out on the table. We have a roof over our heads, and a soft bed to sleep in at night. We have the opportunity for education. And even though most of the time we complain of being poor (in my case a poor college student), on average we have more money than billions of people in this world that have nothing. So please, when you go to bed tonight, or even right now, just thank our Lord for granting us an amazing life with so many blessings... | | |
| Update? I shall...
Exciting weekend! It all started with some serious field hockey action! We played Ohio University. Unfortunately our team lost 2-0. However... it was an intense game. I got a wide variety of bruises. I have one on my chin from when I was hit in the face by a ball, one of my leg from running into someone's stick mid-swing, and a couple on my ankles from getting nailed in the foot by drives.
Then Mallorie took me home that evening to her county fair! Shout out to Mal, you rock my socks. The fair had some great and greasy food. Also some greasy high schoolers. I can't believe I was once as cool as a high schooler (dripping with sarcasm). We couldn't locate the draft horse barn... which is normally the highlight of the fair. But we did get to see horses... so that should help a bit with my horse withdrawl.
Then we watched a great concert by Neil McKoy. He is quite the entertainer. We were smashed in these seats that about 1/2 of my hips could fit into. I was very close with my neighbors by the end of the concert. Neil talked to a fan on a cell phone at his concert. He also had the police officer play the drums for one of his songs. I would highly recommend a Neil concert in the future. Below is a picture of Mal and I in our cowboy hats... WOOT!
Then on Sunday I played field hockey in South Bend, Indiana. We drove 4 hours there, and with the time change, arrived 3 hours early for our game. We then lost our game 6-0 because we had only 10 people, which Notre Dame had about 25. But there were many cute boys who were playing Football on our surrounding fields. I be their girl to guy ratio isn't like 8:3.
So on to another manic week... | | |
