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

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...
