I am a dreamer...




I've been thinking a lot. Thinking about what I want to accomplish with my college career. It seems like my major is so hard and time consuming that I can't do anything sometimes! But with Christ I can do all things because he strengthens me! I also just want to place in his hands what I want to do because he knows what he wants for my life.

There are just so many possibilities and I don't want them to go by without giving them a chance. Well I have to go to studio now to get some more work done on my current FINAL project.

There are a lot of things I want to get done this summer and really grow in. Jesus is amazing.

In the begining of this year when I didn't get into something that I really wanted I told God that I'd spend this time waiting on it to come around again with HIM. Like really getting to know God and loving Him. I have and it's amazing. Much better than anything else I can imagine. I am at such peace now and I feel like I can do anything. I have grown so much in less than 3 months. spiritually, physically, and mentally. But I think when you grow spiritually it makes growing mentally and physically a lot easier.

I love how I am growing closer to friends that are genuinely great people who love the Lord. I need a spiritual mentor though. I think that's what I should pray about.

I've lately gotten very aware of different causes helping the tragedies going on in our world and have asked myself what can I do now to help and what can I do once I am in the work force to help. I think these are good questions to really pinpoint what outlook you have on your life in regards to Isaiah 58. That's basically my outlook right now, and of course psalm 31:30.

I also just finished reading this book and it's amazing...

I've come to the realization that...

Awareness means nothing without action

Ahhh the memories...

So, I used to be in love with the Backstreet Boys. I was obsessed. Before B2k and after Michael Jackson, somewhere around the same time as Usher (but eventually they won my heart. It was about the time when Usher got a little too explicit in his act. I was like "woah buddy, I'm only in 3rd grade..." but that's another story.) The backstreet boys self-titles album was the first cd I ever bought. In third grade I remember kids first getting cd players so I had finally gotten my mom to buy me one and in search for some music I remember the perfectly displayed backstreet boys cd stand. Ahhhhhh. The picture to my left is a (in Borat's voice) VERY NICE picture of the boys.
I first remember them like the picture down below and then the second one by their second album Millenium.

I guess I'm writing about them because it's so crazy that something I had chosen to like 10-11 years ago is something I can still listen to now and the stuff I like during my later years sounds annoying now. I played all of my music out from the moment I first got the BSB cd to the stuff I have now. I tend to get so into one artist that I have to hear every song over and over until I know it and analyze it and picture it in my head and...
It's crazy, I know.
BSB is a little constant in my life that stays good. Something I can count on in ten years to sound good. I'll probably be going to their concerts when I have kids and they'll be like the band that all the moms go to...

Now I'm just rambling and making no sense. I just wanted to document my rediscovering and of course state that God is Amazing and the BIGGEST Constant you can count on. Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

I've been trying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been trying to blog for the longest time ever. Like a week almost. My internet in my dorm room is totally whacked. I'm in a building on campus now that has awesome reception or w/e. And now I don't even feel like blogging. Bah! I wish I could just blog from my head. I think in blogs now. I'll be just walking and a thought will come up but with some kind of pizzazz like I tend to do in my blogs. Lol. I'm crazy and just barfing onto the keyboard right now. This is making no sense. I need to write a letter to the people that helped me fund my trip but I either don't have internet, too busy to call (we're designing and building a bird bath with concrete!!!!!), or not in the mood to write a long email about how life changing it was. It was life changing though!
