Changes, Changes.

Changes... they are in the air. they are in the mix... hm. as the leaves change, so do I once more.

I've look back at what has happened to me around this time every year... and every Fall has been different.

This is my favorite change so far. :)

Here I am, on the West Coast, meeting some of the most amazing people I have ever met, and enjoying life more then I thought possible.

I have healed. Finally. after over a year of becoming something I'm not... I'm safe in the Hands of my Creator.

Actually... I always was... I'm just realizing it now.

And for the first time in a while, I am praying more for God's will then my own wants and meaning it.

Oh, the glorious difference that makes!!!!!! I encourage you to get to that point in your relationship with Christ. To that point of trust.

And if you don't... well, you know, all you'll miss out on is: comfort, peace, joy, strength, and other spiritual gifts. and yes. Fully trusting God does come with all of that.

Trust is not a blind leap. It's saying that you believe in the promises He made, and realize that your life in His hands is greater then your life in your hands.

In 3 days I will have been here 3 months. Wow. God is so good! I can't even go into the list of things I have been given the opportunity to do, discover, and learn.

I have also been given the courage to do things I normally wouldn't do. Like being even more sarcastic on the internet. ;P actually... never mind I've been doing that for ages.

For your questions in that area, you will have to wait until you see me, and be careful, because you may not recognize me.

That is all I shall say for now. :)

TWLOHA...

So... Friday is To Write Love on Her Arms Day... Yeah...

Part of me is really just... hm. Thinking about a comment I read earlier. I really think people that are negative about things should just stop trying to make others fall... I wonder why we do that to each other.

So anyway this guy was writing on the site something line of rubbish about how writing "Love" on your arms does squat (not his exact words).

I got rather angry about it. It's funny. normally I'm not a big fan of this group, not that I have anything against them or the cause, it's just the people who are die hard this one day of the year, and then don't do anything about it the rest of the year.

I've been challenged in this view by a guy I respect, and I fully agree with how he put this question to me. I can't remember how he worded it exactly so I shall not post it.

Let me make this clear. If you honestly do care, rep this more then just November 13th. okay?

I usually do it once every few months, outside of the group. Only I will write verses, about love, instead of just love.

So this is the comment I almost posted if I had the courage. But I don't, and I let other people face that fight. I'll be a total chicken and write it on my blog :p

To ...

I felt the same way... until my life was changed. 3 years ago, I hit rock bottom, my whole world crashed. It came down to a decision... I still don't regret my choice. You don't have to actually cut yourself then recover... sometimes we are blessed enough to realize before hand what it boils down too. THIS MAY NOT DO A THING... but it may change everything. Yeah, when you are depressed, people writing "love" on their arms may be the last thing you want to read. BUT.... if the right person does it, it can change everything. If SOMEONE had done this when I was going through this... Maybe I wouldn't have gotten to the point I got to. I do know this. There are people out there who do not know that this cause exists. They need hope. They need help. And if they see Love on your wrists (where I place it every year) They usually ask why. (esp if it is in neon colours ((just a suggestion))). Besides, is it really inconvenient to us to write 4 letters on our arms? This is not a risk...you will not be injured if you do it or not. On the other hand, are you willing to risk your rep to try and beat the numbers?

I ask you the same thing...

Are you willing to risk it? You never know who is falling down behind the mask.

It could even be someone like me... who hid it from everyone.

Well? What are you going to do?

It's been over a month... whoops... and the Subject of things...

Welcome to... the exciting life of a freshman of MBI. WHOOO!

not really. Well, in a way...

Okay, I have to admit, there have been a lot of life lessons that have been learned since my last... couple posts... and I just feel like God is giving me an awareness for things. Then I realized that I only have 5 weeks of my fall semester left. OHMYLIFE WHERE DID IT GO????

I promise you, time goes faster as you get older. It only seems like... a few days ago that I first got out here. and it's been... 2 months, and 16 days... or 11 weeks... 77 days...hold on...I'm going to attempt to do some math... uh... 24x77... around... 1848 hours or...110880 ish minutes... and about 6652800 seconds. at least. give or take a few hours...

I did the last 3 with the help of my phone. I am not ashamed.

I love school... which is surprising. I keep seeing all over my facebook all of these people who went home for fall break, and I am just like... I don't really want to leave... uhm... yeah...

I have to admit I am rather sad about my last first semester being over halfway over. Even though it's been quite a ride... and rather crazy at some times, I wouldn't trade it in for anything.

So, on to my random topic of today, I generally have no respect for any of my professors who give me midterms. By the way this is technically my second year of college. Because I was home-schooled we decided we'd so college and Sr. Year... AT THE SAME TIME... oooohhh...okay, enough with my fake sarcasm. So I get into my Church and it's Doctrines midterm two weeks ago at 7.45 am. Joy. Enthusiasm... ect. and I have been pretty much studying really hard for the thing, and then I find out... it's not short answer like I thought... it's multiple guess-er- choice. that made my morning.

I got an 85!! Whoo! really exciting, and I have been getting A's on my papers I've handed in... so all is well. :)

So in other news...

I have to admit that I really am enjoying selecting teachers that challenges me. I recently signed up for classes and had to choose between a professor where I knew I would get an A no matter what I put, and then an unknown professor who will probably make me work for it.

I decided to give myself the new professor, because I don't really appreciate it when I get an A I don't really deserve. I don't really understand the whole thing behind the easy way out. I have never gotten it. and I like working hard.

I don't know I'd just rather risk failing then getting something I don't deserve. God has already given me more then I could ever want or need... I work for the A. :)

well that's all of my random posting for today. Have a good week everyone, I have no idea when I'll be back!
