everyone is leaving :(

and yes i'm completely aware that God will never leave.

Sometimes The Answers Are So Simple and Obvious

"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."
1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Oh, Goodie..

"As for the rest of you, dear brothers and sisters, never get tired of doing good." 2 Thessalonians 3:13

Along with the whole "WWJD?" saying/reminder ('What would Jesus do?' for those of you unfamiliar) lately i have been struggling with putting those two things into practice.

I haven't been struggling to forget those things in big situations, but in little ways like my thoughts and motives (Which in a sense can both grow to be bigger issues).

The other day i was.. maybe i can say criticized.. or maybe it wasn't critical, but more of something that stuck out to a couple of people that i am a "goody goody", well-behaved little girl. whatever the term.
When that was said.. i'm doubt these people meant it in this light.. but i took it in a bad way. An example would be, "You want a tattoo?.. that seems a little low for you.. it doesnt seem like you at all". Something like that. I love these people to death, and i hold nothing against them.. but my reaction stuck out to me because i was a little defensive.

And now i think back and wonder WHY SHOULD I BE? It should be an honor that these people view me in that light. I want to grow to be a godly woman every day. Why be ashamed?

Maybe the tone i got from them saying that made me feel a little sad because of the stereotypical "good christian girl that wouldn't pierce her ears or hurt a fly" label, which is a completely awful way to view anyone who loves the Lord, and i didn't want to be viewed that way.

i am just trying to clean up how i react to those kinds of things because they are compliments in the long run.
my reaction in my head and aloud was offensive and disrespectful to God. i am glad these people said this to me so i can check myself. Even though it can be hard, it's an honor when the Lord reveals things about you that need a good fixing.. that way we can better ourselves.

It All Looks Smooth From Here

Time to rebirth my artistic ability. After 5 years of a break, I'm ready to live again.

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.
