We are Off to See the Wizard

Yesterday, I went on journey. A friend and I decided to go little falls, upon reaching little falls, I wanted to keep going. The whole time that we are trasping through the forest, we are both wearing shorts and t-shirts. Along the way we met some very unfriendly briar batches, but we kept going, and going, and going. Then along the way, I wanted to reach the very top of the mountain. So my friend and I decided to go up the mountain. At this point we aren't completely lost, but we also don't exactly where we are either. {The way that we needed to get back to college was just by following the water, so as long as we knew where it was we weren't really lost} But along the hike, we came across the boundary line between the National Forest and Toccoa Falls. But it was getting darker, so we decided to turn back. At that is the end of our adventure.

The Desires of my Heart

I went to a chapel today, that was for the people in my major {which means that all of professors from my major talked about Cross-Cultural Studies}. I have always enjoyed these chapels, and they help me so much. One of the ladies spoke about the desires of your heart, and sometimes the desires of our hearts are not what we expected to hear. I thought that the desire of my heart was for me to live with a group of girls in a terrace. But maybe that is not what God wants to be the desire of my heart. Maybe it is with different girls, So now, I must find out what God wants to be the desire of my heart. While this was a great thing for me to hear, I must now apply it to my life. Searching out other options, and pray that God will enlighten me on the path that He wants me to. By going to these chapels that speak to me and help me to remind me the reasons for why I decided to go to a Christian College.

Learning Contentment

Waiting. How much of our time do we spend waiting. Waiting for something to happen, or waiting for something to be over. How often do we actually spend through the course of the day, being thankful for that moment and being content in that moment. As this is the week before Spring Break, and all that I can think about is next week and being in the mountains with my grandparents. I am waiting for this week to be over with so that I can enjoy my break. In this, I am waiting, and not being content. But I also know, that as soon as soon next week comes along, I will be waiting for something else, another day. How I want to be content in the moment, in every moment of every day. Yet this is a lesson that will take time, but I know that one day, I will have full contentment in heart.

Spring is Here

The daffodils are popping open and the Red Robins have returned. Spring is on its way. I have been looking forward to wearing shorts and pastel colors again. I am looking forward to the summer time and being out of school, but it will be here before I know it.  I cannot wait to feel the warm sun on my face, and for summer to be here.

Excuses

So I created this blog a couple of years ago, and decided to not to keep up with it. Why?? Well in my mind I created a number of excuses for why I couldn't find the time. This ranged from not finding time because of school, homework, busyness of life, and all the reasons for I why decided not to write were just that EXCUSES. But how many times do find reasons  not to do something. How pitiful do these excuses look like when they become placed under a microscope. But so many times I find reasons for why I shouldn't do something, one example is reading homework for school, and my excuse for this is because I don't want to. Reading for school is not preference for this moment in day. But what a sorry excuse that can be. Another is maintaining relationships, sometimes maintaining relationships can be unpleasant, and I think in my mind, ever so selfishly "Lord, aren't they a waste of my time? I need to be doing something better, something else" And the Lord is ever so kind and gracious to me, and He reminds me. That I need to invest in them, that they are His children too, and that everything in this world is passing, but people. People, people are important, and that they are not a waste of my time. But what I think about one day when I will have to stand before God and give Him account for all of my actions. Because in that moment, I will not be able to come up any good excuses for lack actions,  What excuses do you give yourself in order for you to feel better about yourself??

College!!

So I have been on Toccoa Falls Campus for a week, and classes start tomorrow!! It is kinda of hard to believe that tomorrow is the day every high school has been looking forward to for four years. I am really excited and nervous at the same time. I love all of the girls on my hall. They are all such awesome girls and we will have a totally fantastic year!!

I am Here!!

That's right, I have arrived at Toccoa Falls!! My first day comes to a close. I have been so excited all day! I have met my new roommate, and I think that we will get along so well this year!! My mom went down with me and helped me move into the new dorm. Yesterday, a dear friend came over to the house, and brought with her my graduation present. It was a wonderful cedar Lane chest, which has come to college! I love you mommy and I will miss you, the family, and Sandy so much!
Lots of Love (lol)
