Time to Grow Up

"I'm 22...it's time to grow up.."

I cannot count how many times I have said that in the last three weeks.

I'm not plannin on gettin all serious, but there are areas of my life, I need to get a tid bit more mature.

1) My Spiritual Life: I trusted my life to the Lord on May 15th, 1994, and some days I still feel like a baby Christian. It's time to step up. Read more. Trust more. Love more.

2) My Family Life: I'm not a teenager anymore. I have no excuse to blame others for broken relationships. I need to make the effort to change things. Also, I'm an adult. It's time for me to take on responsibilities I have always relied on my parents for.

3) My Love Life: I have had a ridiculous crush on the same guy since I met him nearly a year ago. When I say "Crush", it's somethin right out of the Mandy Moore song. I mean, he is a sincerely fantastic human being and I could go on and on about him, BUT, as I said..it's been a year....the boy still makes me tongue-tied and his presence still manages to call the butterflies in my stomach to flight. It's time for me to grow a decade, smile when I see him, and move on :)

:)...that felt good to get out

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 :)
