New Design

Hey! I REALLY want my blog to have a new look and I need someone that is pretty good at design... 

I am in college and don't have money, but I will totally promo you, and love you forever! That counts for something right!? 

Let me know if you are interested or know someone who might be!

THANKS!

Frustration

It's really hard having such a headstrong and loud man sometimes... especially when you are a dominate personality yourself. I just want to lead, to be noticed, to be important- but we are in college now, and together, and people view me as the little one shadowed by his humongous personality. 

Don't get me wrong, I love Ev, and I would not change him, not at all, and I'm not angry with him... this is simply a rant about how hard it is right now. How hard it is to feel important. I just pray that I will be useful to the Lord's kingdom, right now, and I know He has a plan, but it's just really hard right now. 

Ev and I are REALLY involved in our student ministry, Trail. Our leader is moving and he set up a leadership team... he picked Ev, not me. 

Evan and I were at a church for the first few months here at school, and he was asked to intern, to be more involved with the student ministry... I don't understand why no one wants me. WHY NO ONE AKS ME. WHY I AM NOT HELD AS BEING VALUABLE!? 

Look, I know I am, but I just don't feel like I am right now. I am feeling low. I am discouraged. I am jealous. 

I want to be noticed. 

I have talents. 

I'm important to the Kingdom. 

UGH. 

Frustration... to the max. 

This time I took the boy:

Skiing... Q&A

A reoccurring question was, "Was it your first time?" and "Did you fall?"

Yes it was my first time. 

And I went all the way up to the intermediate slopes by the end of the night (3 hours) and I fell once on every run down, EXCEPT the last one. :) The slopes were apparently pretty icy, so kinda hard to learn on... and it was blizzard-ing. haha. So much snow in my face! 

It was great though. :) Lots of fun.

Skiing

I went skiing, it was amazing. 

This is the Name We Have?

Angry, angry, angry... and I know I shouldn't be. I am angry and sad, because I have seen WAY too much Christian slander on TV lately. It honestly just hurts my heart, because this is the name we have in society: 

-Ignorant

-Close-minded and Bigoted 

-Unfair and Hypocritical

-Unloving and Unkind 

And that is just among a FEW. 

Here are a few clips from the movie "Easy A" that really frustrated me: 

I am so sad that this is the image we have a Christians! I think it is all our duty to the Lord to prove movies like this WRONG with love and grace, and to go onto the world knowing that we are sinners saved by HIS grace and not our own. When I see scenes like the ones above it makes me sad and angry, but it also fires me up to give even MORE to the Lord, and to fight for His name here on Earth... to show people who God truly is! 

Let's go forth today and everyday to proclaim His great name, and to bring our Father honor with all that we say and do! 

Da---da----da-da, here comes the Bride...

No, no. I am not an engaged woman, yet... BUT I have been on a bit of a Pinterest craze, and have not been able to get off the "wedding" boards. I don't know why I have been so obsessed with weddings, but I have- for years. There is just something so beautiful about two people and two families coming together in the name of the Lord, and ever since I was a little girl I have been fantasizing about MY special day. 

I thought it may be fun to share some of the things I absolutely love with y'all! 

Here are some dresses I'm in love with:
