This one's for you Breanna

I am not very faithful in updating my blog. I honestly don't see the point since no one reads it besides my sister. :) But since she does read it (and nags me mercilessly about updating it) I decided to post every now and then at least while I'm on Christmas break. So maybe I'll have something interesting to talk about tomorrow. :)

My girlies... <3 them!

Slow Fade

My new favorite movie is Fireproof! I absolutely love it and think it has an amazing message. I heard this song on the movie, and while I don't like the song itself because of how contemporary it is, I think the word are wonderful and very true.

Be careful little eyes what you see.
It's the second glance that ties your hands.
As darkness pulls the strings.
Be careful little feet where you go.
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow.

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away.
It's a slow fade when black and white are turned to gray.
And thoughts invade, choices are made.
A price will be paid when you give yourself away.
People never crumble in a day.
It's a slow fade. It's a slow fade.

Be careful little ears what you hear.
When flattering leads to compromises,
The end is always near.
Be careful little lips what you say.
For empty words and promises leave broken hearts astray.

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away.
It's a slow fade when black and white are turned to gray.
And thoughts invade, choices are made.
A price will be paid when you give yourself away.
People never crumble in a day.

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking.
Be careful if you think you stand, you just might be sinking.
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away.
It's a slow fade when black and white are turned to gray.
And thoughts invade, choices are made.
A price will be paid when you give yourself away.
People never crumble in a day.
Daddies never crumble in a day.
Families never crumble in a day.

Oh, be careful little eyes what you see.
Oh, be careful little eyes what you see.
For the Father up above is looking down in love.
Oh, be careful little eyes what you see.

Almost Finished

Tomorrow is the last day of school!!! I am super excited. Today made me realize how much I need a break to repriortize my life. I was so overwhelmed this afternoon, and that led to a bad attitude, which led to a less than wonderful night at work. It's crazy how you can let one emotion get ahold of you and completely ruin your day. I can't wait to have a break and be able to recharge. I am really looking forward to having more time to spend in devotions and get my priorities back in order. But, for tonight I must stay focused for a few more hours. My 2 biggest finals are back to back tomorrow starting at 7:40. Ugh! I will be a very happy person tomorrow at 10:20am when this semester is completely behind me. :-) So it's off to spend the night with my biology book for me....

Still Alive..... Barely

I'm still here, but since school has started my life as I knew it has come to an end. :-) Over the past three weeks I have started college and a new job. I am working at the dining common at school as a potwasher! I'm going to try and start a new set of posts related to my job. Lots of stories to tell about washing pots!!! :-) So stay tuned. I work tomorrow from 4-7, so I'll try and post tomorrow night. We'll see. As for tonight, homework (and the insides of my eyelids) beckons.

Wisdom from Facebook

I was on Facebook for a little while tonight and I was looking at some pieces of flair that my friends had sent me. I came across one piece of flair that made me smile, so I thought I'd share it here.

"Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to the paramedics."

Are you smiling yet? It's possible that this really isn't that funny, and I was only amused because it's 10:30 at night and I'm exhausted. I'm going to bed right now!

The Past 30 Days

I survived my media fast! Although, I must be honest and say that I wasn't as faithful to it as I should have been. The purpose of this fast was to redirect my focus from the unnecessary things in my life to my relationship with Christ, and I think that, to a small degree, I accomplished that goal.

Life has been super busy during the last 30 days. I spent almost two weeks with my grandparents. It was so nice to just have unhurried time to spend with them and just enjoy them. My Mimi (my Mom's mom) and I took a 3 day trip to LaFayette, GA to visit with my great grandma and her new husband. (I'll have to write a post about them one of these days, because they have such a sweet story. :-)) We had so much fun on our road trip! That was pretty much the highlight of the past 30 days, but mixed in with that has been several days of babysitting, a couple shopping trips with my best friend, a couple of slumber parties with my sister and her friends, and my sister's 11th birthday.

I'm kind of ready for school to start just so I can get back into a routine. I'm hoping to get up early tomorrow so I can start getting on a schedule to be up in time to get to my 8 o'clock class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Ugh!!! :-(
