Christmas Break

Dear Blog reader,

I do not know if you even exist but I am writing to you anyway just in case you do. I have been on Christmas Break since last Wednesday the 16th. It has been a long few days. I got home and my room became one huge pile of clothes. Its so wonderful to be back in my bed. I have two memory foams on it so its extra soft. I call it my ca-cun because once I get in my bed I fall asleep and do wake up for a long time. So... this week has gone by really slowly. Thursday my friend Kayla came over. Steven, Kayla, and I all went to Hollywild. It was a lot of fun. Then Friday I went and got a new cell phone and looked for a digital camera. Saturday was a blah day.

blah blah blah. I really do not want to talk about all the garbage. I just kind of want to get my feelings out. So my walk with the Lord has been really difficult this semester. I came from a summer where I was growing a lot and spending everyday reading my bible and praying and just wanting to know the Lord more and more. Now, I get to school and I feel like my life is a mess. I came into school single, I was taking way more hours, and my time in the WORD was either a small amount of time or just not happening. That was really hard for me. I really struggled this semester. Im hoping that will all be changed in Jan. Im going to DC for a Christmas Conference with my friends from this past summer and Ill get to see them and hopefully put back on fire for the Lord. I want to BURN for Christ. I want to get all these thoughts and feelings out and then I am going to go read my bible for real. I have made the decision to do that. I hope things change soon. I do not like the Mary that I am. I expected to be different by the point and knowing the Lord more and being so in love with him. Im in this funky season in my life and I don't like it, but I'm learning. I need to depend on Christ more and less on Mary. I have a huge gap in my heart crying out for Christ. I am so spiritually thirsty and I just keep trying to stop it by using soft drinks (sin) but my thirst needs pure water (Christ). I want to sin fight.

Done with freshman year

Wow! My freshman year of college seems to come and go so quickly. I can still remember move in day. Probably the most stressful day of my life. I had been packing the whole week before getting so excited and once I arrive, I am told to go inside sign and read all this information and by the time I get my key and walk outside, all my stuff is gone. They had tons of different people moving all your stuff in for you. What a great benefit of being a freshman. 

This week was sad not only because school is over and leaving my friends, but the empty walls that seemed to mock me as I slept at night. One of the hardest things to do upon leaving is leaving Eternal. The church that I have been attending regularly while at school. I started going to Eternal in the beginning of October. What a huge blessing. I have gotten involved in the college ministry and then young singles reached out and ministered to my friends and me. 

Today, I went through all my stuff and put it in boxes and labeled them. These boxes will be stored away for the summer. So this week will go by slow as it goes by fast. Slow because Ill have like NOTHING TO DO. But fast because by Sunday I will be leaving to go to Summer Conference with some friends in RUF.     :)

The College Life

Alright, so the plan for this blog was to write down what was going on in my life while I was in college, but as you can see, college keeps me SO BUSY its kind of hard to blog. Its been over a month since I have last posted. My roommate got a blog to read between all our friends. Its a fun idea. I have a lot of my plate this next week 3 tests, 3 papers... just a ton of stuff I dont really feel like doing... but I'm going to do it because that's why I am here at college. My boo (aka: boyfriend Tyler) is coming up this weekend so I have to finish my homework before he gets here.... YAY! 

wow.... nothing really to write....

maybe ill post once I am done with my homework!

Time to start blogging

This is the very first time I have ever blogged. I decided to start blogging after talking to my friend Katherine today. My boyfriend Tyler started a blog a few weeks ago to let everyone know about his trip to Guatemala. So here I go....

This morning, I woke up to the sound of my iHome singing a song from a local radio station. I pushed the snooze button 3 times before I rolled out of bed. I used to be so good a waking up right after my alarm went off the first time. I guess after 2 weeks of classes, my skill of waking up after the first alarm has faded. After getting ready, Steven (my friend), picked me up for church. About 2 months ago, I found a local church that I have become very fond of... not the church but the church body and their community centeredness. (Just a heads up... get used to me making up words.) Steven and I got to church just in time and sat with some friends who had already gone early. Once church was over, we headed back to school and ate in the cafeteria. Knowing that once I left the cafeteria, I would have to jump into a big pile of homework waiting for me. Thus, my journey of homework began... 

I have to cut this entry short tonight because I am headed to Bible Study.
