Unfortunately there has been a lot of death going on in the last couple of weeks which has made me very appreciative for my own life and the live's of those around me. It's also had me thinking a lot about my own life. How much time do I spend wasting worrying about tomorrow when I should concern myself with today? I mean obviously I need to make sure that I start looking for somewhere to go in August when I graduate, and stuff like that. So what am I doing today that could further the Kingdom of Heaven? What would people say about me if I were to die today? I was reading Whitney's blog today about her daddy and I was just thinking I wonder if people could say some of those same things about me? How am I glorifying God today? Oh, I love the teachings of our Lord...man life is good.
So what would I say about you and your life? My sister, what a woman of God, one I look up to and aspire to be. A woman in which I admire every last aspect about. My roommate, Alissa, passionate about the rest of the world. My roommate, Renee, also passionate about the rest of the world and good at opening my eyes to what scripture says. Brandon, a stud, man of God who I truly am amazed at when I look at his life. Running after the Lord, pursuing Him with everything in Him and passionate about furthering the Kingdom of Heaven. A good friend and a great leader. Liz, such a sweet spirit, always filling the room with joy, pursuing God and His best for her life and loving her friends. And many more of my friend, I cherish all of my friendships with all of you. I love you a lot and wouldn't trade anything in the world for your friendships. Don't you think I forgot you, more to come tomorrow:)

"Everything is permissible for me"-but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"-but I will not be mastered by anything. 1 Corinithians 6:12
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalms 27:14
Oh how impatient I sometimes am, but in due time God will provide only the best for me. God is so faithful and I am very aware of this especially as of lately. God has shown me so much in these past two months that today I was moved to tears in awe of His amazing love and faithfulness. God is doing so much in my life and the lives of those around me. God is using me in ways I never expected and God is pouring into me in ways I never really expected either.

Punky Brewster
Theme Song
Maybe the world is blind,
Or just a little unkind.
Don't know.
Seems you can't be sure
Of anything anymore.
Although,
You maybe lonely and then,
One day you're smiling again.
Every time I turn around,
I see the girl that turns my world around.
Standing there ...
Everytime I turn around,
Her spirit's lifting me right off the ground.
What's gonna be?
Guess we'll just wait and see.
So last night and today I watched 2 Discs from Season 1 of Punky, and I just love the theme song. The show is great too! Wahoo! Who remembers this wonderful show? Because way too many of my friends never even saw the show...what the heck?!?

Love Love Weekend
This weekend was the Southcrest Sprizzle Rizzle, aka I love love weekend. We talked about the stuff I love most: relationships. Made me even more excited about eventually getting into my future career, can't wait to deal with relationships on a daily basis. We talked about men & womens roles, sex, singleness, marriage, dating, etc. If it had to do with love we covered it! We also talked about doing everything for the glory of God, so how is it that you do everything for the glory of God? Do you glorify God in your friendships? Dating relationships? Marriage? Through Work? At school? heres a good one, and one i should probably work on...through your driving? I learned that no man will ever be Jesus, but where he is lacking Jesus takes over...good to know. There is so much I learned this weekend, not only during the word spoken to us but through new people and through time spent with God. He has a hold of my heart right now and I'm so excited about seeing what He has in store for me. I could talk forever, but I'm so high on life that I wanna talk to people for real not just through this thing. But there's a little update for you.
