2009?
2009 has been the most bizarre and unlucky year ever.
MJ died. Along with Patrick Schwayze, Farah Fawcett, and BRITTANY MURPHY??
Meanwhile, each member of my family has had a series of very unfortunate events.
11 days till 2010. Couldn’t come any sooner
Breathing
So easy to say that life’s so hard Everybody’s got their share of battle scars As for me I’d like to thank my lucky stars that I’m alive and well It’d be easy to add up all the pain And all the dreams you’ve sat and watch go up in flames Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain But not me… I’m alive And today you know that’s good...
life goes on
parental love
I think God has taught me a lot this week about a Father’s love. I don’t think I grasped my parents’ love for me until this week.
My mom yelled at me a few days ago for not stepping it up this semester and doing my best. At the time, I was really hurt and annoyed because I felt like I was doing my best. In retrospect, I could have handled this semester a lot better than I did....

Psalm 40
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD.
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the...
L: how we should cherish each semester and time with friends
L: because college is way too short.
humbled
I just got completely and utterly rocked by my Orgo exam. I came into the exam thinking that I wasn’t going to do that well, but that I would be able to figure out the problems because the problems couldn’t be that bad.
Wow. that exam was so humbling. and this finals week is a ginormous wake up call. I need to refocus next semester, and bring up my GPA for the next five...
You Lift Me Up - Josh Groban
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up: To more than I can be. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You...
fear
i am terrified of life. it’s why i like to plan. so i can have control over something i really have absolutely no control over.
i am terrified that this semester will end up going completely wrong, and that i will hurt my parents so much that i don’t know what i will do and worse… what they’ll ask me to do.
i am terrified of what my mom said to me last night. and of...

God works in funny ways
Today I’ve been compelled to do a QT this whole day, and I’ve put it off until now. I get daily devotionals sent to me from The Upper Room, and so I decided to read one of them, since I haven’t read them in awhile…
I found this one on Genesis 7:
WHO closed the ark’s door before the torrential rains began? My daughter, Katie, noticed that it was God who shut the...
On my walk home from the library, the air didn’t seem as cold as it was crisp and the sky was clear, and I knew that God was there. and it was cool. It was like that peace that I always long for when my mind is in chaos mode (usually comes after I’ve been extremely unproductive… like today)
and then I felt a lot of emotions all at once. I put my iPod to worship playlist, and I...
bestie
My best friend
It’s kind of crazy that I’ve known her for nine years now hahaha. I don’t know what I’d do if I went home and she wasn’t there anymore. Home’s just not the same without friends. I love our drives with random spurts of conversation and just enjoying the music and each others’ company. I miss playing tennis and having crazy rallies. I miss...
