Jesus poem

J is for jealous, for He is jealous for me.

E is for eternal life, which He has promised me.

S is for servant, which He has called me to be.

U is for His unconditional love that never fails.

S is for salvation, the gift He died to give me.

Here I am

So much has been going on since I last blogged. Some of it I can't even put into words. This semester has been a crazy one for sure. Good at times and not so good at other times. Right now I am sitting in my living room with my wonderful roomies watching a movie which is something I really enjoy doing. Yesterday I went to San Antonio with my mom to go to a Children's Chorus of San Antonio concert and it was really great seeing old friends. Then we stayed at a friends house and that was fun too. We haven't seen them in so long and it was good to catch up with them. I love going to San Antono! I know this is short and probablly kind of boring but I promise to say more another time. Anyways, I have a project due tomorrow and I need to finish it so I will blog again another time.

long time no post

So I know it's been a super long time since i've posted on my blog. I've kind of been at a loss for words when i've wanted to post something. School has been going well for the most part but it's definitely keeping me busy. Chi Alpha has been going really well and it's also been keeping me busy. I've been enjoying my new roommates this year and i'm forming some new friendships as well as strengthening some old ones. It's really been great to see how the Lord has provided at just the right time. I've had several ups and downs this semester but thats normal. One thing i've been working on is turning off my agenda and following God's agenda and that's been kind of hard at times but very rewarding. I have started going to a new church called Promiseland and i've really been enjoying it a lot. It was a hard transition at first but now it almost feels like home. All in all i would say this semeter has been a good one so far and I really can't complain. Even though I have bad days I always know that a good day is just around the corner because of the God's great and wonderful blessings.

Lake trip/end of summer

This past weekend I went to Lake Buchanan with my friends college group from her church. I have been 2 other times so i've gotten to know several of the people in the group. I just love going every summer and I always have a great time. This trip was probablly the best one for me because I felt more like I was a part of the group. I had a great time riding on the boat, swimming, playing games, having good conversation with frinds and riding a jet ski for the first time...yes, I really did ride on a jet ski. Riding on the jet ski was the most adventurous thing i've done all year lol. It was actually kind of fun even though I was freaked out at first. It was nice to be able to get away for a while before school starts. I know this school year is going to be a busy one but definitely a good one. I have a feeling God has a lot of great things in store for me this school year. This summer has been full of ups and downs and i've really been dealing with a lot of stuff. I'm starting to learn that I need to deal with things in my life even if it's hard because if I don't things end up building up until I have a huge break down. I have a tendency to push things aside instead of dealing with them like I should. This summer has been good for the most part but I have had some hard times. I have learned a lot about myself this summer and some of it has been really hard to deal with but thanks to God and some really good friends I have been able to slowly start dealing with it.

I move into my new apartment on Thursday and i'm really excited. I have really missed everyone back at school and I can't wait to see them. I also can't wait for Chi Alpha to get started. I am soo ready to be back in San Marcos but I have a lot of packing to do before I leave on Thurday. I am really trying not to take too much stuff with me to school this year because I usually end up taking way to much stuff that I don't even need. I have a feeling i'll end up with way too much stuff but whatever. God has blessed me with some really great roommates this year and i'm looking forward to living with them. I know that we are going to have a lot of fun together. I have just a few more days at home before I move back to San Marcos and even though being in Brenham has been a bit boring this summer I am going to miss being at home with my mom. It's been nice being able to spend time with her this summer. As this blog post comes to an end, my summer is just about to come to an end as well. The next few days will be busy with getting packed but i'm going to try and enjoy them as much as I can.

sigh...

In my last blog post I talked about my trip to Washington DC that was really a lot of fun. Well since that trip I have really been missing all of the friends I made. It was so much fun to hang out with friends every day for about 5 days in a row. Now I am back at home in brenham where I have very few friends and I don't even see them that often. It's been kind of hard to go from such a high back to something that isn't much of a high at all, if you know what I mean. I became closer friends with one of my friends on the trip. We became so close that we are like sisters. It is really awesome! I have been praying for a friend like her for a long time. We have been texting each other every day since the trip and I have been missing her like crazy. The connection I have with her is unlike any connection i've ever had with a friend before and I praise God for bringing her into my life. Tonight has really been the hardest for me. I have been feeling kind of blah and actually want to cry a little bit. It's kind of a bittersweet cry because I feel so blessed and at the same time I miss her and all my other friends so much. I don't think i've ever missed any of my friends before as much as I miss her. This is kind of a strange feeling to be having cause I don't really know if i'm happy or sad. I think i'm just both and it's kind of weird. I'm hoping by tomorrow that this feeling will have gone away and I will be able to focus more on the blessing this has been rather than how much I miss my friends. Friends are a wonderful gift from God but why do they all have to be so far away from me?!?!? It seems like a lot of my really close friends are all so far away from me and I hardly get to see them. I guess thats just a part of life or something. I wish that I could form a special little community with just me and all my close friends and we could just all live together for the rest of our lives. Hmmm thats a thought i've never had before but one to think about lol. Life just doesn't work that way. I really need to learn how to focus on the things that I do have around me and the blessing in my life instead of focusing on what I don't have or wish I had. I am just in a "mood" right now and I know if will soon pass. I don't really know what else to say right now except that I wish I could be somewhere else instead of where I am right now.

A fun week in DC

So this past week I went with the Children's Chorus of San Antonio to Washington DC. At first I wasn't really looking forward to it because I am an alum and i'm so much older than them. I only knew 2 people in the choir before going on the trip so I thought I would be spending most of my time with the chaperones. When the trip got started my 2 friends actually talked with me and wanted to sit with me on the bus. I was thinking they would rather hang out with their friends in the choir. I knew after sitting with them on the bus that things weren't going to be so bad. I actually got to know some of the people in the choir and I became closer with the friends I already knew. It was really a lot of fun and I actually felt like part of the group. I became especially close with one of my friends and I feel like we are sisters. I have known her for a long time but on this trip we really became closer than ever. We really connected in a way that I haven't connected with anybody in a long time. I love her so much and i'm so glad that we were able to spend time together. We went to a lot of places while we were there and saw most of the major sites that are in DC. It was really neat to see the sites. This week was great and I miss everyone from the trip. This was the highlight of my summer and it was nice to get away for a while. I laughed so much on the trip and it was awesome. I had a blast!

What if...

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell Phones?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?
This is something to make you go…hmmm…where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don’t ever have to worry about our bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!
