Too Blessed to be Stressed

So in the past two weeks...i have found myself mellowing out a little bit...i worked a little...then i went to orientation...and got my classes...and i am learning that there was no reason for me to be as stressed as i was...I lvoe just being able to relax and enjoy the last two weeks at home... The sad part about this whole thing is i leave my amazing family and friends here in fp...i just hope that i get super involved so that i won't have to think about that stuff too much

the Catcher in the Rye

Okay, so i am reading this book called the Catcher in the Rye and i don't really know why i started this book but it is really different from anything i have ever read before...This guy Holden gets kicked out of like the third school in three years and its just a story of him waundering around new york until Christmas break...Now if you've read the book Holden uses several choice words that aren't cool, but he is really depressing...He talks the whole book about how he is depressed and all of the weird things he does and i am just super confused as to why anyone would want to read this...You may be thinking then why is she reading it and to be honest with you i have no idea...The book is awful but i can't put it down there is something about this guy that interests me...he is very opinionated and i guess i am too about certain things but anyways...this is deffinately one of the most random posts ever but oh well...

Life Choices

Choices are something that every person in the United States has to make on a daily basis...some choices are simple like what to wear in the morning and others are big like what am i going to major in in college.Over the past week as you know i have been thinking about some big choices i have to make, but sitting at work today i realized that others have to make the same big decisions i have to make...Take for instance my brother..i think he has known what he is set out to do for a long time...but me on the other hand i can't decide anything. I think that is one of the reasons God put us together...when we were growing up larry decided what we were doing and i followed his lead.
Throughout high school i started to make decisions of my own and i have turned into my own peson now, and one of thos really big decisions i made was not to date the last three years of high school... i had one boyfriend in high school for about two months and he was and is still one of my best friends..but i came to a realization through that relationship that God will put the right perrson in my life when he sees that it's time and i'm prepared for that relationship.
Now after saying all of that...i still struggle with temptations and i deffinately have struggles with being lonely, but i know that i am not going to rush into anything until i know that i am ready...God is a big God and i want to do his work, and i deffinately don't want to be one of those people who realize they are forty years old and they never lived out God's plan for their life. And i deffinately don't want to give up that eternal blessing for a guy...

Starting Up

Well, i just got back from fuge with the best youth group ever, and it was one of the best weeks of my life. I saw God in a whole new light this week and i really connected with a lot of the younger kids in my youth group. Over the past several months i have had to do a lot of soul searching about college and what i'm going to major in. Last summer i had decided that i wanted to major in nursing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham...but as the year has progressed and after the amazing week i had at camp I am not so sure that's what i want to do. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface on what God has in store for my life and I am really struggling with picking a major. My mom is telling me to jsut go in undecided and i guess that would be the right thing to do for my first year, but what about after that...what will i do?? I'm super confused!
