3 of the things that make me, Me.

I just wanna share a little bit more about myself being that this is my blog.

1. I consider my dorm room to be my museum. 

     If you ever came in, on an instant you would learn a LOT about me, from my walls to my bookshelf to my fridge its mostly decorated. I put up just about everything that has ever made me smile, laugh, or cry on my walls and especially any snail mail I get that's great:)I just feel like if I can't cover myself in all the tattoos that have memories to me then why not spread it all over the walls, I have to stare at them every time I'm in here they may as well make me smile.

2. God is my best friend. 

      Sounds cliche but let me explain. To me a best friend is someone who cares about you no matter what, and when you're talking about something passionately they don't just stare at you, or ignore you, or cut you off to make their point. They listen. They don't judge for your weaknesses or tell you that you should be something else, they accept you. They laugh at all your jokes-not that I tell that many- they empathize with the things that hurt you and they surprise you with their presence every time they're near. They're special and not like any other friend, they watch you cry and don't feel awkward, they're someone you can trust with anything. He is all these things and more.

3. I like my pants to fit a certain way. 

     Literally it's skinny jeans be they Hollister, colored jeans, American eagle jeans, polka dot jeans! As long as they're tight around the ankles and look good with a pair of vans, I can dig it :)

In time I'll post more and tell you more about myself, but this came up because after a rough day I got a package and it had 3 felt leaves and a beautiful scrapbook letter. it made my day and made me even more aware of the surroundings I've given myself and the reasons behind them, they make me happy. Don't settle for second best when you can have God's greatest, it takes a bit of patience but it's so worth it. Indulge yourself, in getting to know yourself :) You're great!

Try Hard

People suck. It's a fact that also sucks, and just to be clear I suck sometimes too. I'm in a position of leadership at my school and whenever we plan things people complain about everything. "It's too long, it's too short, there was no marketing, blah blah blah" Do they know what I went through to make this event a reality? No. Did they sit through the meetings and crap and paper work and screenings and stress on top of a full course load, work, a dance team, a weekend outreach and stay up until 3 the night before finishing assignments? Not to my knowledge.

*BUT*
I still have to try hard! Why? Because through all this stuff that sucks, including me, God allows things to go great :) Ya know? There's always a bright side and something to be happy about and God makes all things work together for our good. When we pour our lives into things for God's glory He blesses us so much with His peace and love. God's so great :) So when EVERYTHING and EVERYONE sucks keep trying hard. God sees you :)

Lead me on.

It's been more than long since I've posted on here, but I really wanted to just share something interesting. Last night I went to this beyond scary place called Field of Screams and its actually on the travel channel as the scariest attraction in America. I know right, like why go? You're just gonna pee yourself. But I went and I went through this attraction called the asylum, and for a couple of seconds I was okay, then I started panicking and just wanted to get through it and be out of there. I actually started having a panic attack and COULD NOT handle it, it was so scary. But there was a girl in front of me I knew and she told me to keep her hands on her shoulders, close my eyes, and just follow her. Of course at the time I was a lot more focused on not crying and just repeating over and over again "I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay" but really that's what faiths like isn't it? RIGHT MIND BLOWN!! I'll post the link to the song that helped me come to this, but it's a scary life ya know? Never know what's around the corner, but we don't have to. He goes before us and is with us and will lead us in the direction we need to go. Isn't that fantastic?! There's nothing to fear and all that is asked of us is to just follow. I mean, I assume there's a degree of fear in that but I praise God I'm not in the lead and that it's not up to me to brave it alone. I have faith that Jesus will Lead me on.
