Opening Some Doors and Closing Others




My God is awesome and i love Him. Two days ago i decided what my major is. It's obviously (probably) going to be temporary since people seem to change majors all the time, but this is good for now.
Oh, and when i said major, i mean majors. Yes, the plan (FOR NOW) is to double major for Accounting and Interior Decorating. Woohoo! Passion mixed with gifted-ness. Honestly, i chose to double maj because i couldn't decide between the two. Accounting ensures a job because of the constant need for an accountant even in a bad ecnonmy and i'm good at math, whereas interior decorating is what i love and could get really good at. When i walk into other people's homes i get inspired.. most of my favorite stores are places like Kirklands & Z-Gallerie. It's love <3 

My Grandpa's condition is worsening. He can't eat very easily because it hurts to swallow, and drinking makes him swell up. He gets 4ish Liters of fluid removed from his daily. My mom went to visit him Tuesday, Jun 15th and is staying two more weeks than originally planned. My grandpa, grandma, mom & her siblings have been at the top of my prayer list.
I got to model for Meyer Photography's Rock the Dress. It was so much fun and these people are doing my senior pictures. I am also going to be a Senior rep for them as well. They are an awesome couple and they're so sweet! I'm hoping to get more chances to model and to join a modeling agency to get more experience. I am currently working on my modeling portfolio and hopefully i'm doing it right. I am sending a few apps to different agencies and we'll see where God takes this.


 Right now i'm re-reading Captivating and reading Wild at Heart for the first time. These books are amazing. Everyone i talk to i try to get them to read these books. I have a feeling that God is calling me in this type of ministry with friends.. more on that later once i figure it all out. For now, God has called me to start a small group that will soon be studying these books. He brought it into my heart back in February when i first read the book and now it's happening. I can't wait!

I finally finished the book Lord Foulgrin's Letters after about a month and a half. The book is basically an easier version of Screwtape Letters, and i plan to read that one later. If you don't get what these two books are about-- basically demons write letters back and forth to try to keep a person from God. In turn, the book shows what happens after each letter. They're both very eye-opening and interesting, and in my opinion, very accurate. Through this book i've seen where i've been tempted and how i've been appealed to things. It's scary if you don't believe in demons and the devil, and i know that our worldly society tells us to either completely blow off any idea of any evil like that.. or to be completely obsessed or captured by the evil. Both aren't good.

CIY is coming in a couple of weeks and i am so ready! I'll be praying for everyone's hearts to be prepared until then.

Everything Happens For A Reason

There is a lot of stuff going on in my life right now, and i'm being hit with a lot at once.
I'm trying to stay calm through all of this and i really need prayer.
I would really appreciate it if you could pray for the salvation of my favorite grandfather who is dying from cancer. I'm sorry this update is so cut short and without detail but one day i will be more specific. Trying to stay strong.
