Junior Prom

Prom was amazing and my date was my best friend.

Kings Island the next day was crazy fun and I was with some great people.

I definitely had one of the best weekends of my life.
Nope.. you don't get details... you'll have to ask i guess ;)
The end. :)

Purdue Trip

On April 9th I went to check out Purdue, and I really really liked it.
Although this was my first college visit, Purdue made me feel pretty great.
I went to an Engineering seminar, although I would have a knack for that major, there's no way I'd like it. Both of my parents were engineers, and I was given the gift, but there's no passion there (at least for right now). After that I checked out the Pharmacy School Seminar, and I am definitely adding that to my "list of majors". I don't hate science (only physics), and I know there's a lot of $$$ involved.. I understand not to only go after a job for the pay, and I get that but there's no way that's not a major thing I have to look at. What I like about the idea of being a Pharmacist is because it gives flexible hours (perfect for my future house-wife career), has a great pay, and has a lot to do with Chemistry. So yeah, I'm considering it.

I extremely loved the dorm tour we got as well. Every girl loves that part haha.

My best friend and I have shared a crazy dream about going there together with a bunch of friends who have already gotten in. We'll see where God takes us :)

I am excited to visit Northwestern this Wednesday. I love college visit.

Facebook

I just want to take the time to talk about how immature it is to post serious things on Facebook. Things can be hurtful and can rip people a part. I have had little time to actually be on this week, but whenever I am I see nasty things. Is it not obvious that the world can see what you post? Atleast keep it private or in a message if you gotta tell someone something.
Nothing serious has happened to me in anyway, but I have seen it happening to others lately, and it's sickening. As Christians we are supposed to love everyone, even those that get on our nerves. As Christ has said, what good is it to love only those we love? How are we accomplishing anything? Facebook is a pretty low place to post things serious. Facebook is meant to be a place to connect friends together and stay in the loop with our loved ones. Grr!

Later on I will put an update about how my Purdue visit went and other fun stuff in my life. For now I gotta get to studying for Physics.

Right Now Somebody Needs A Reason To Believe

Lately I have been learning a lot about my non-believer friends from what they tell me. I am glad that they tell me things so I can pray for their salvation, but I think there comes a point where the information they give me about what goes on in their lives completely freaks me out. I love it when the Lord speaks through me to my atheist friends, and when I see God speaking through another Christian. It is awesome! I just think lately I have been filled with a lot of doubt because of a lot of my friends' apathy about the Lord and the bad decisions they make. I feel the Lord has placed a lot more people who hate Him in my life than ever before, and right now I am just really trying to be the example He is calling me to be. I am really trying to fight off this doubt because God can do anything. I know that these people are completely able to love Him, but they are so blind about their choices that they do not see the purpose or self-benefit in doing so.

Too many times I am too focused on myself and my life that I completely forget to pray for the lost, and I want to change that. God wants us to share the good news with everyone and to not let fear or doubt get in the way of doing what we're called to do.

"You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake" 2 Corinthians 4:5

Not Because We Like It

"They take pictures of the mountain climbers at the top of the mountain. They are smiling, ecstatic, triumphant. They don’t take pictures along the way, cause who wants to remember the rest of it? We push ourselves because we have to, not because we like it. The relentless climb, the pain and anguish of taking it to the next level – nobody takes pictures of that, nobody wants to remember, we just want to remember the view from the top, the breathtaking moment at the edge of the world. That’s what keeps us climbing, and it’s worth the pain, that’s the crazy part. It’s worth anything"

*Random Updates

-Last Thursday my dad, sister katie, and i went to Wooster, OH, to the Children's Home of Ohio on a missions trip with WRCC. Originally my mom and sister, kelly, were supposed to come too, but kelly had a 24-hour flu.
On all day Friday and Saturday morning the crew worked on cleaning up the ground and adding mulch. The band Sing, Love, Sing! came on Saturday afternoon and the kids loved it!
Sunday morning we cleaned up the place WRCC stayed in, took a group picture outside, and drove home. I had a great weekend and got close to a lot of people :) I wish we would've had more time with the kids at CCHO, but they had a unique schedule that could not be tampered with. We only got to be with them for a little bit. We didn't go to Church on Easter Sunday, which was weird, but all together i have had a great weekend.
-I am waiting for my cousins to come from North Carolina and Delaware.
-I am working this week, which is awesome because i need money for CIY.
-Friday i am going on a trip to Purdue :)

And i feel like SB is almost over because i haven't really been home :( yuck
