Bloggin in a Coffee Shop

Goodbye 2010 School year...
Fare-thee-well Fall Semester....
Adios mi amigo feo.....

Finals week, for me, has come to a much anticipated halt. At exactly 1:30 am, I completed my last test, an online Human Development exam that I had been dreaded since the day I pushed "download" on the class syllabus. As I predicted, it came and went without much pain inflicted upon me. I've realized a very obvious truth lately. Things are gonna happen whether you stress or not. Matthew 6:27 finds Jesus askin the age-old question, "Can any of you, by worrying, had a single hour on to your life?" another translation reads "add a cubit to your height"....bein slightly on the lower end of the measuring stick (haha...get it? ;]) I understand wanting to do nearly anything to get taller....spoiler alert: Worrying and bein anxious will not make you taller or live longer...if anything, you'll make yourself sick and cause premature health complications that would otherwise be absent, leaving you to have a long life serving and glorfying the Lord....stepping off soap box.

All that to say, and quote Bob Marley, "Don't worry, be happy."

Reflecting back on this semester, I have discovered the importance of remaining joyful in my Lord Jesus. Life happens. It sucks, but it could ALWAYS be worse and if it get worse, you can giggle at the fact that you were given a temporary gift of prophecy. Everything has a brighter side. Yes, certain not fun situations need to be dealt with, but...you're gonna live..and if you don't..Yay Jesus time :)

This break will for sure be used to read book, shop for my future career, hang out with my fam, and spend some quality time with My Jesus.

Let me know if you need anything!

Passed midnight again, but i refuse to go to bed without bloggin this month. I will succeed at this challenge :) No runnin today, BUT I went two-steppin....figured that kinda of counted :) Tonight was the last bible study of the semester. My girls are so wonderful :) It so great to see how close we've all gotten. The study of Song of Solomon was so unbelievably rewarding. We had a good time gigglin through the poetic language, but we cannot deny the fact that we learned more than we bargained for about Love. AH! God is sosososo good :) It's crazy to think, nearly a year ago, I was worried I would not be able to minister to these girls the way God would need me to... Number 1: WHO am I to know what, or who, God will use. Number 2: He Equips, the call, He does not call the "equipped" He's Just so good :) Today will be a Double Blog Day....

December :)

October is my favorite month, but December...oh December.....it makes me heart so happy. It's like the cute boy in your boring class who just makes it worth it. ......an oatmeal cream pie following a rigorous workout. Vanilla Raspberry Black Coffee at 5:30am.... ....a hug on a less-than-stellar day... ...a dress with pockets.... You get it. December is FANTASTIC! I am challenging myself to blog every day in December. As most of you have realized, I am a truly awful blogger when it comes to my consistency. I look at this challenge as a way to work on my reliability and commitment issues :) I'm glad I have YOU to hold me accountable :)

Me: All Growed Up

My lanta! FOUR years? HOW? I absolutely love that this blog is still here (especially after mourning my xanga presence...RIP). Things are a little different now. I'm almost 30. I live in my dream apartment. I'm the Director of Community Engagement at a nonprofit in Oklahoma City. I ran another half marathon. I wear glasses. I traveled...everywhere. I started volunteering at a Children's Hospital. I overcame sincere fears of airports and hospitals. I started a Master's program. I loved. I lost. I ate. I slept. I danced. I laughed. I giggled. I stopped drinking coffee for a month...WHAT...it's been wild. Jesus is still my fuel and people are still me passion. Last post, I talked about the identity of this blog. Where was it going? What will it center around? I do that a lot. I want to do something and then I talk it to death. What's the central idea?! What's the plan?! How many times will I commit to post?! What's my big picture goa...
