:)

Jordan Berger just informed me that I had not blogged since Wednesday night and that I needed to. So here I am writing this blog. 


School was so stressful this week. I rested all weekend long and still feel exhausted. It seems like I always have some sort of homework or studying I should be doing. It is an endless cycle. I have so much biology to do today I do not think I will ever get finished. 


Last night I had a lot of fun. I went to dinner with Hillary and Sara in the stud.. which was gross but afterwards we came back to my dorm and watched Hannah Montana Forever. Hannah told the whole world she was really Miley Cyrus for various reason and quit being two different people. It was a very sad episode. Sarah and I began to cry a little at the end. I do not even really like Hannah Montana but it was still a good show. She sang a song at the end called "I'll Always Remember You" which is my new favorite song. 


Rachel finally got back from the beach and we went to Walmart to stock up on some food. I feel like a huge fatty at college because all I seem to do is eat and I am never satisfied. I have eaten half a package of Oreo's since last night along with numerous other snacks. 


I am looking forward to tomorrow. Kayla and I are going to her brothers first basketball game of the season and then spending the night at Kayla's house. Just a random though.. Kayla has the cutest little sister ever named Carsyn. I am looking forward to this because I enjoy anything that is off campus and out of Tigerville. I love NGU but I HATE Tigerville. There is nothing to do here and it is so lame! 


I am so ready for Christmas break to get out of this place!! I am going to miss my friends but I can always go and visit them rather than having to stay at college! Looking back, high school was so EASY.. college is freaking hard.. it never ends! I do love the social part of college. It would be great if college was just social and no school work.. then it would be sort of like camp! 

Resonate.

Tonight I attended Resonate for the first time. It was an indescribable encounter with God. Tonight was all about worship. I heard a ton of new songs that I have never heard before and they are amazing! One song really stood out to me. The chorus of the song is...

‎"We are Your burning ones. We are consumed by You. We set our lives apart. We are consumed by You. So let this love be like a fire. Let our life be like a flame. Fill our souls with Your desire. Let our passion bring You fame."

I want these lyrics to be my prayer to God daily. "I am Your burning one. I am consumed by You. I set my life apart. I am consumed by You. So let my love be like a fire. Let my life be like a flame. Fill my soul with Your desire. Let my passion bring you fame." I want to be able to say that I am living this out. I have a lot of work to do but I cannot wait to see all of the wonderful things God is going to continue to do in my life.

I also met a lot of really awesome people tonight. I do not remember their names, because of my lack of memory, but they were awesome! I got to talk with Chris Armfield for a good amount of time. I got to tell him about what I am passionate about and he got to share with me about his passions and trips that he has been on and going on. Chris was an awesome guy and God is using him in mighty ways!

There is an awaken retreat January 7-9, 2011 in Greenville, SC with Resonate and I cannot wait to attend! If anyone is interested please ask me about it and I will try and help. Tickets are on sale on the website below :)

Take 2.

Today has not been the best of days. I did not get enough sleep last night so I have been very tired all day long. I woke up and realized that it is raining.. I hate the rain. I went to math class and during class I worked Chemistry practice problems to prepare more for the test. After class I went to chapel. Chapel was pretty good. I really enjoyed the music and the speaker. Lab followed chapel and it was pretty easy, we got to color so I was happy. 

Then came Chemistry. I did not do well at all and I am very upset with myself. There will be other test to do better on but I am still disappointed. This test has ruined my day but maybe it will get better. I really do not have much to blog about because the only thing that I can focus on is Chemistry. 

Since cheerleading has been changed to every other Wednesday practice I am able to go to church tonight. I am going to Resonate with Jack Hannigan and a ton of other people. I am very excited to hear what God has in store for me. I have not been able to attend church on a Wednesday night since college started so I am really looking forward to tonight. 

A new idea.

I figured I would start join the rest of the world and start blogging as well. I was inspired by Cassie Murray as Jordan Berger, Kayla Adams, and I were reading her blog. Kayla and I have now created our blogs and are going to begin. I am sorry if you do not find it interesting, you do not have to read it. My blog is going to be a place for me to express what I am thinking and feeling and just want to share with everyone else. 


College is a new experience. I feel like I am constantly studying or should be studying. When I am watching T.V., on Facebook, or having fun with friends I feel guilty for having fun and feel like I should be reading another biology chapter, doing chemistry practice problems, or math homework. There is never an end to the madness of a Biology major student. 


The social side of college has been great. The past few weeks I have been making a ton of new friends and hanging out with old friends. I have recently started hanging out with Kayla Adams. Kayla is a Biology major as well and we have a lot in common. I thank God for placing her in my life. She is an amazing Christian girl who is a great example for me. I am also thankful for all of my old friends who have been consistent in my life for many years. Rachel is still my roommate and will be next semester. We have not had any arguments and I always have someone to talk to. Jordan Berger is normally in our dorm room. I love hanging out with Jordan. She always makes me laugh and we make memories everyday, even if those memories are messing with Rachel's Facebook status or hiding behind the doors to scare Rachel as she comes into the dorm room. I love hanging out with my friends and God has placed each and everyone of them in my life for   specific reasons. 


I currently attend New Spring Church. I look forward to Sundays all week long to hear with God has stored for Pastor Perry Noble to speak on. Every Sunday I feel like Perry is speaking directly to me. I am learning so much and growing in my faith everyday. I want to become the woman God has intended me to be. To be in His will one-hundred percent of the time, to be seeking His face everyday, and fulfilling the plans He has set out for me. This is a working process and one day I want to be able to look back and be able to say that I was doing what God wanted me to do and not what I wanted to do. 

Well that is all for today, I have a Chemistry Test to study for (which we made awesome element tie dye t-shirts to wear during the test) && Jordan Berger is currently doing an interpretive dance to "The Circle of Life."
