Happiness and Living for the RIGHT Reasons
WOW! I havent written in this little space since a year ago I think. It's very late but since Christmas break, I havent had any problem with sleep...until tonight. For some reason, I am thinking so much lately...but about everything...my life..whats to come of it...and who it involves. I am glad I can write my thoughts and feelings here because no one really reads it anyways...so here goes..
First, I AM OVERJOYED that I recieved an acceptance letter to Samford University in Birmingham. My father is from AL and he is quite happy that I am going to be attending that school. Andrew will also be going which is a total PLUS! He is my best friend...I can honestly say it. Who else would I rather go to college with than him???
Second, my whole attitude...my whole ambience...has changed. I don't really know what happened but I have returned to Jesus Christ and now my relationship with Him seems so much closer. I am striving to follow Him everyday and that is my sole PURPOSE. I push all the other stuff aside, like boys for instance...I'm totally through with the whole CRUSHING thing. It's a total waste of my time..but there is one boy that I will always love...I have loved him for the longest time...in fact, he was the first boy I ever felt such strong feelings for. We have done everything together...our families are close..my parents adore his parents :) But...he is constantly there to uplift me in down - times and has helped me through so many situations. I couldnt have asked God to bless me with a better friend. I dont think he realizes how great he is... It's more of a friendship love I guess you could say...but there are still times when I hope for something more. But I dont want that now...it isnt time. I read that book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" last year in my psychology class. It was a good book but I wouldnt discourage dating...I just know God has the right man for me...I pray for him every night..hoping he is praying for me too.
Third, everything ISNT perfect.
Academics are o.k. but I still stress over them...and sometimes that makes things worse. Everything is not perfect in the FRIEND area. I wonder if some people are lying to me or not...or if I can trust anyone. I doubt...alot...and I need to stop. I seem to get along much better with boys simply because I have grown up with an older boy (my brother) all my life and he has always been a great friend to me even though he has gone through many trials where I wanted to totally disown him..haha..but those are over now..and he is great. But my friends that are girls are too "CATTY" Is that even how you spell that??? you get my drift... but I always treat them with honesty and kindness...Not say that ALL of them are this way...just a few :)
Fourth, I've started a new work of art. Based on Proverbs 31...I LOVE THAT PROVERB. It is like a guide for me at this point in my life...on how to grow and be the woman God wants me to be.
Fifth, Andrew, Mer, Libby, Aimee, and Brett came over tonite and we watched "Office." That show is HILARIOUS. It was a good time because I have been wanting to watch it and we were putting good use to one of the Christmas presents I got Andrew :)
Sixth, I am so glad I have had the oppurtunity to go to a Christian school. I know it sounds pretty corny but its the truth. I would have sunk in a public school. I have learned how to be an individual at my school...it's awesome...even though there were times I wished I was somewhere else (when I was in trouble haha) I realized that I was in the right place.
WOW...I have written a buttload...I'll lay off the writing for tonight...I have sleep that needs to be tended to. I'll write next time I get a chance.
Enjoy, Whoever reads this...
