so i start work tomorrow woooo! :) i get to start being productive again :D

i've learned a lot in the last year and a half about letting go and loosening my grip.  i've found that without fail, everytime i hold on to something and worry about it things go wrong, and all of those times that i've let it go and given it to God and stopped worrying about it, it's gone right.  every single time, that's how it goes.  not to say that i can't take initiative or i should stop fulfilling my responsibilities.  absolutely not.  i have to work for what i need or want.  it's the worrying that causes the issues.  once i take the problem out of God's hands, i'm telling Him i don't trust Him.  God obviously knows what's best for me and He doesn't always work things out the way I wanted, but whatever He does, it's always good.  of course, we all know how highschool jamie was.  hmm, not like i have 97320853 things to do, let's start worrying about ALL of them!  yes!!!  it doesn't work.  i need to learn that God is in control and worrying really does make everything worse. 

this semester has really been awesome.  it had the potential to be really awkward, stressful, and monotonous.  instead, it was super exciting and awesome and lots of good things happened. :) i'm really excited about next year and hope the summer goes by quickly (yeah, i never thought i'd hear me say that either LOL).  maybe gas prices will go down too...i can dream :)  i hope you're all having a fabulous summer and if you're in town gimme a ring :D

num6:24-26

have a fabulous week!

num6:24-26

so...open ended question time :) lol

rather...multiple choice open ended question :)

what is the point of relationships?  how should the be conducted?  what should the rules be, if any?  is there a purpose, or is it simply a mutual attraction expressed?  should any thought be given to the end?  how much energy should be expended and in what capacity?
i thought i had all of these questions answered and sorted out with my little check list if ever i needed it.  needless to say, i never thought i'd actually need it.  but of course, like all well-meaning Christian girls who go to college, when my idealogical methodology was put into practice and applied to real life, it was found faulty.  it doesn't work in real life.  oops! :) my bad.  so i thought that i had a few years to restructure my ideas, but of course i was wrong.  :)  heaven forbid, life actually knows what's going on in my head and is going to play itself out just the way i want.  it's just like a dream...i don't have any control over the events.

but i'm getting off topic :) *surprise*

so what is the point of relationships, and how should i, as a Christian, wanting to glorify my Father in every aspect of my life, conduct myself as a Christian in such a secularized world?  how do i separate what i've mistakenly learned (but not necessarily been taught) both from Christian and secular influences with what God tells me in His Word?  i think i'm figuring it out, but any thoughts are always welcomed and appreciated :)

this is so not what i was going to write about *surprise again*

i hope your semester is going well :)  be blessed! num6:24-26

so how has everyone been?

i hope you're all having a marvelous break and getting to sleep in and all that magical happiness :D
