Self Update- 2014 RECAP?

Happy Holidays Everyone !

      I have been M.I.A. and I have no legitimate excuse besides trying to consistently keep my inconsistent record? I do apologize however, especially since my last post was the beginning of November. So let me catch you guys up on everything that has been going on.


  • Acting audition: It was nerve wrecking but I went through with it. I however, did not finish it because my audition ignorant self did not know they were doing a group audition afterward and left. Hilarious right? I did not get the part. I did get an email among a handful of other people that when parts for supporting cast members would happen I'd be updated. My ego that was dropped was considerably restored after that email. 
  • Finishing Fall Semester: I dropped the ball this semester. I stopped focusing on the main objective/goal and floated through the semester very lackadaisically. What could have been all A's became a majority of C's that I am not proud of. 
  • Winter Break: I went back into a seclusion and isolation that did nothing but harm myself. I LOVE alone time. I do not like to feel lonely. One of the only few people that could get me out and who I enjoyed every minute with is my dear friend Ally. The isolation however allowed me to reflect on my life. It also allowed me a great amount of time with God (that I did not fully take advantage of). Winter break allowed me to see friends and family that I missed dearly. It allowed me to see how unintentional with people I have been. Winter break really allowed me to reflect on how much I suck as a person by seeing my short comings, how my internal battles start and how I react to them. It allowed me to see the things I am and continually need to change in order to become the person I want to be.  
  • Resolutions: I never really write down New Year's resolutions. I'm not even a hundred percent sure what they are. I believe resolutions are goals. As of years prior I never had written goals I was living "Go with the flow" to the extreme which I believe may have been the problem. I never have the true main objective in front of me with goals to reach till I get to that point. So this year I have written some. I have titled it "Be all that God has called you to be" I will not be able to get to any of my goal or live the life that God has planned for me if He is not my main priority. So my lists ranges from Spiritual, health and fitness, business plans, lifestyle, miscellaneous, and things unimaginable. Resolution that effects this blog is my consistency to it, as well as the biweekly creative challenges I will be doing for myself. I also am praying for my word to live my year by. I think it will be either INTENTIONAL, OBEDIENT, or JOY.  

What are some of your resolutions?

Bet you won't try this!... Easiest way to not stress yourself

" So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you." 1Peter 5:6-7        This can be one of the toughest things for me to do. I can easily talk to God when things are going great. When things aren't looking my way however, I am quick to zip my lips. This may be the complete opposite reaction to some of you. My worries and "stressors" (just recently learned this term from psych class) cause me to throw on a nonchalant attitude. I do this because I know that God will spin the situation around for my favor. I am seemingly good for the first verse "So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor." My faith allows me to believe this however the casting my cares to God is hard for me to do. My nonchalant attitude causes me to talk to God maybe one time about my problems or w...

God is stretching me, and I am trusting Him.

Last year I had the opportunity to go to the Dominican Republic to be a part of the One Nation One Day missions team. Even though I joined the team late I was super pumped for it and excited for the chance to help. I trusted that it was a desire given to me by God to go, however I didn't trust that He would get me there. Knowing how impossible and overwhelming the deadlines and goals seemed I was saying "With God anything is possible.." I did believe the statements, however I  didn't believe that He would do that for ME in those moments. So I tried my hardest to control the flow of money that I would receive (I honestly wanted to be my own sole provider). It was a complete failure. This year I felt the urge to go to Estonia and I instantly felt so discouraged about it because of last years results, and decided to go into prayer. As I read the bible that night I came to Luke 5:1-11.  Play-by-play of the story: Simon just got done casting out fishing nets after b...

Jesus Allowed Me to be Mauled by Ants

          Towards the end of February after dinner a group of friends and I walked to the lake which is right across from our campus. This is something that we do often, just to prolong going back inside to studies and our schedules. Well this trip was very short lived for me. When I got to the section by the lake which is covered in grass (besides the sidewalk), I stood in awe at the lake like normal. However, this time my reverie for God's creation didn't last long. Within thirty seconds of me standing there I began to feel like my foot was getting bit and poked hundreds of times at once. When I looked down I was able to see that my entire foot was covered with ants. The pain of course then became more severe. I instantly started screaming bloody murder and ran across the street without one of my flip flops.  I didn't even look both ways before I crossed the street! I was so creeped out and upset that that would happen to me. Once I was inside I ...
