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!

Cabin Fever

I want to run. BUT I am SO thankful for this time to work on school work. God is good and faithful :) It's just 5 short days until my FAVORITE day of the year: VALENTINE'S DAY! I know...I know... grumblegrumblegrumblegrumble Hear me out here: Forget about the pepto-pink aisles at WalMart lined with Love Note TUMS and enough candy to send you into a sugar coma for 19 months. Forget about the oversized Teddy bears that could double as couches if you ever found yourself in a pinch.Go with me here: Imagine a day where everyone has a little lift to their step, Imagine a day where sincere compliments are filling the hallways of offices and schools. Imagine smiles, all smiles, all day long. Imagine if for just one day everyone truly Loved their neighbor and treated everyone they met that day as a friend. That's the kind of Valentine's Day I'm rooting for :) More on that tomorrow :) Maybe I'll get to run too :)

Reason for the Season

"We love because HE FIRST LOVED us." 1 John 4:19 We are called to do as Christ did; Love...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I cannot say that enough times. We are called to LOVE everyone. Love your fellow humans. There is absolutely NO reason to not love someone ESPECIALLY after you FIRST meet them. WHat have they done to you at that point that merits a no-love response? I'm not calling any one person out, I'm just sayin: If we are to truly live out a CHRISTian walk.....we best be lovin' on peole. CHRISTmas is a time of celebration for what our God has done for us. "For He SO LOVED the world, that he GAVE His ONLY begotten Son that who so ever BELIEVES in Him, should NOT perish, but have everlasting life." -John 3:16 The God of the UNOVERSE Loved YOU enough to send His Son to the Earth, live a human life, with human temptation, and die on a cross as YOUR scape goat. THIS IS A BIG DEAL! Some people cannot wrap their minds around someone loving them that much bec...

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 :)
