Something old and something new
These are my babies from home... i miss them so much:)
In That Moment
This last Saturday I got to go to a Christian Conference for leaders from various Christian campus'. It was an opportunity to meet some great new people, learn some much needed skills, and get to know some of the leaders that I will be working with this next year. It was a great day and I learned a lot, but something was a little heavier on my heart when I left the gym that afternoon.
A couple of my friends and I were talking about the thought of "Forever" and it made me really start to think.
Have you ever just stopped and really pondered life? The questions that so many times seem to hard to handle.. The ones that I (in particular) try to set aside.
We started talking about how hard it is to comprehend the thought of eternity and I began to question everything that I stand for. Why do I make such a big deal about things that are soon going to slip away. As I walked on.. I started imagining sitting at the Throne of God and wanted so much to please God.
I guess it was on that day, that I started to realize that I am not just living to live. I am living to learn who my creator is. To learn who He wants me to be.
Though I have been a Christian for many years, I think that everyday it is about finding the desire in my heart to grow closer to God. I want very much to spend FOREVER with God and though it makes me head spin to think about forever.. I feel like there is no one else that I would rather spend my life worshiping, than my Abba, Father, Daddy, and Savior!
I know kinda of random.. But just thoughts coming out on paper..

My very first blog!
So, my friend Julie (the only person who gets me through the many boring hours at work), told me about this cool thing called blogging... I feel kind of out of the loop, so here is me trying to get computer smart.. um not!
Life is going faster than it ever has in the past, and so I thought I would write down the many thoughts that pass through my CraZy mind.
College always seemed like such a far away time in life and yet as I look back over the last year, it amazes me that I have almost finished an entire year. It is interesting to me to think that at one point I was so intimidated about college, and yet somehow I survived the first year.
The first little while was pretty bumpy.. I missed home, all my friends, and having a room to myself. While I still miss many of those.. I have learned a lot about myself and how to be independent.
I can't believe I only have 5 weeks left.. Then I am done with my first year. My professors decided that the best thing to do is pile on every test, paper, and assignment on my for the next couple of weeks and my roommate is killing me.. But hey I have a light at the end of the tunnel right? I am so jazzed to see what these next couple of weeks hold in store for me!
woo... hoo.. My first real blog! Exciting!!!
