Trusting God

A lot of times I find myself in the mindset that if I just had a boyfriend (etc.) I would be happier and more fulfilled. Time and time again I am reminded that I am completely fulfilled right now in Christ. Psalm 118:8 says, "It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man."

Not only do I frequently forget to be content in Christ, but I also expect too much of other people.

Making Time

This is an essay I wrote for my Advanced Writing class last semester. The assignment was an essay about a person. I chose my Grandpa Bradley (dad's dad).

Making Time

As I look back on my life, I see that my grandpa was one of the most influential people of my childhood. For the first ten years of my life my family lived on the same property as he did, just a few dozen yards up a hill from his house. I remember my brothers and I would run down the hill to Grandpa’s house almost every day. One of the things I think of most when I remember my grandpa is the fact that he was always busy. He was always tinkering on his tractor, working in his garden, or fixing tools and machinery. Even though he had retired from the two jobs he had held over the years, he was never idle for as long as I knew him.

By God's Grace

I have come to realize more and more lately how very thankful I am for the place I am at right now and the people with me here. I am so glad that God led me to Maranatha Baptist Bible College, and that He led me to the people who I am now friends with.

When I actually stop to think about it, it astounds me how we're this big group of people, who if it weren't for us coming to school here, we probably never would have met.

Painful experiences...lol

I think that I am destined to always hurt myself whenever I go skating.

At the first late night skate, I fell a few times, rug burn on my knees. (Not so bad). Second time, however,

New Year, New Perspective

I know that it's a bit past the turning of the new year, but it's better late than never :).

I would have to say that every time January rolls around, it takes me a while to get used to writing a different year...1/16/08...er I mean 09!!!

I have sort of a New Year's resolution (although it's more of a now that it's second semester...kinda thing).
