Flapdoodle

Hello friends! (All 2 of you) I am a terrible blogger and have not posted anything since January. FAIL. Well I'm here now. I've transferred schools again, but will stay where I am now till I graduate (December of 2011, baby!!!). I'm in my homewtown of Savannah, living with a friend from church, and studying Creative Writing.
I have decided that I want to be a childrens author. I have all these ideas for childrens books floating around in my head and I have an amazingly artistic cousin who can illustrate them for me. I also want to be a novelist, but that will just be an on the side job. My cousin and I also have a dream to one day open a coffee shop. It'll be really eclectic and artsy and creativity with be welcomed.
Recently I have become a lot closer with a friend I met in December named Jessica. She is an amazing woman of God and we are going to start meeting up at least once a week to read the bible and pray and share life. I foresee a "best friendship" developing and I am very excited. I don't have very many "best" friends.
Well, that's really all I have to say for now. Bye

God is Great!

Well then, I haven't been on in quite some time. Life is hectic...and I never have much to say. But boy do I have something to say today!
Today is the start of a new life for me :) Last night while at the college ministry at my church here in Valdosta, God really spoke to me and showed me that I had never fully surrendered my life to Him. Well, now I have. I talked with a leader and prayed last night that I would be able to give up control of my life and let God take the reins. Well, I must say, it feels amazing! I have been buoyant all day long, knowing in my heart that God has control.
My desire is to learn more about Jesus every day through reading His word and praying and worshiping. My prayer is that I will be filled with a desire to live the life God has planned for me and that I will do so with a heart full of passion.
Isn't God great!?!

Improv in your life

Hello to my 2 faithful followers...I finally have something to write about.
I went to an Improv show last night on campus and it got me thinking. In an Improv show the players don't have a script or memorized movements. They have to rely on each other to keep the story moving. Our lives are kind of like an Improv show. We always try to plan every minute of our lives and we want to know exactly what's going to happen all the time. Well, we can never know for sure everything that will happen to us, so sometimes we have to improvise. God is our partner in this Improv show of life and we have to rely on Him when things go awry. We have to trust that He is going to put things back in order and keep the show going.
Another thing about Improv I've noticed is that you rarely see a one person Improv show. There is always at least two people, going back and forth, keeping the show moving. If one person falters, the other is there to make things right. Much like this, we cannot do life alone. We need God in our lives to help us through the tough times that we face, the times when we do not know what to say or do next. We need Him to point us in the direction we need to go to continue on with life.
So, live your life like an Improv show and always keep God on stage with you.

God puts people in your life...

So, recently I began my first year at VSU. I'm a transfer, so they didn't let us move in until Upperclassmen move in day, so I missed all of the "get connected and make friends" social events. So I have found myself short of friends over the last month since I came here to Valdosta. It's just not as easy to meet people on such a huge campus. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. At Montreat I saw the same people everyday, a lot of them in more than one of my classes, so it was easier to get to know people. Here at VSU, there is not a single person that I have 2 classes with.
All of this to say that God has placed an amazing person in my life! My suite mate Casey is the awesomest. We are so much alike and we get along fabulously! She is the only roommate I have ever had that I've actually been friends with. We spend a lot of our free time together and we always have so much fun.
I am so thankful that God enabled me to meet this awesome girl and that He provided me with such a great friend.
Yay friends!

Sparse Blogging

I haven't been on in a while and I apologize. My computer is having some issues at the moment, so I barely get to check my email everyday. Once I get my new computer(in two weeks!!!) I will blog a lot more.
Life is kinda boring right now. Classes are pretty blah. Want to meet more new people, but having trouble with that. Found a church this past weekend that was AWESOME! can't wait to go back.
thats really all I have to say right now.
Hi Kitty...Hi Chelsea-Love! y'all are my only 2 followers, so you guys get a special shout out.

New Friends, Food Poisoning, American Government, and a Strong Desire to Cook

The title of this post pretty much describes my life since I arrived at college. My roommates are awesome. Last night we had lots of laughs just being stupid. On Sunday I got food poisoning from eating in the dining hall FOR THE FIRST TIME. So now I'm trying to change my meal plan so that I don't have to eat there ever again. Because of said food poisoning, I missed the first day of classes yesterday...not a great way to start out at a new school. So today was MY first day of classes, in which I only have one class. American Government at 9:30am. I may have a spot of trouble staying awake in that class...especially so early in the day. So yeah...that's all I've got to say right now. Oh wait...I've got something else. I have this crazy strong desire to cook. I used to cook a lot back home and haven't been able to since leaving for college. My only problem is that I don't have the money to buy the ingredients to cook. So if anyone would like me to cook for them...buy the ingredients and I'd be more than happy to whip up something scrumptious. Cheerio!

God's Love Rain

It is raining outside right now and while I was walking back to my dorm feeling the rain on my skin, I was reminded of God's love and promises. He sends the rain to water the earth so that it may thrive. In the same way He rains His love down on us each and everyday. His love is what sustains us, just as rain sustains the earth. Without God's love we are lost and confused and stressed out over life. But when God's love rain covers us, we are comforted in knowing that He is always there and is watching over us.

So tomorrow, wake up and receive some love rain from God <3
