3 foot Circle

On tuesday of this week I got to hear the Great Louis Giglio speak at the Auburn Arena. He rocked the house and spoke something I think many of us there needed to hear. Yes he spoke to people who did not have relationships with Christ but to the people who were living a daily Christ centered lives. He challenged all of us to get down on our knees and draw a circle around you and ask God to start a revelation in that circle.I did just that, I asked God to cone over me use me, to use me in big way to carry his name. Today I felt that, I felt God using me today by giving me joy for life. I was walking down the concourse just as happy as I could be. I was listening to music and just walking and I was just overwhelmed with God's love and how sovereign He is and always will be. Just has been a great day and have just felt true Joy for the Lord today. Which is him because the Word says that He is JOY!
Have JOY FOR THE LORD and HAVE JOY FOR LIFE!!

Travel.

Do you ever feel like you can't escape? Like the only part of the world you are going to see is your back yard? Lately I have done nothing but dream of seeing the world...i owe this dreaming to pinterest and the travel section. I see these exotic, tranquil places and I dream of myself playing in the snow, nonfrizzy hair, and drinking coffee in another country. The events in my life like camp and beginning and ending of a relationship has really had me thinking about God's plan for me. He has such a brilliant one planned for me and I hope and pray that is includes seeing the world. Though I have come to realize that leaving the country scares me to death-- not being able to speak the language and understand what people are telling me and the movie Taken has ruined my dream of ever leaving the States while under the careful watch of my loving father but still a girl can dream. I just want to go. Go and keeping going until I am happy. My bucket list is nothing but go to places. Ireland is number one and Italy and France and Japan and New Zealand. This dreaming of what is to come makes me not very focused on the here and now God has in front of me and that is school. I have really come to hate studying and schoolwork, but I know that if I want to see the world I have to get a job and that means getting a degree. I love my school, don't get me wrong I love my friends here and my major and the people I am going to help  but oh if i could, I would major in travel. Follow a professor around the world, it would be the best four years of my life, but I know that God has me here and majoring in Speech Pathology for a reason, but hey like i said a girl can dream. I am considering packing my mom and I up in my small car and driving to New York this Christmas break. I want to see Broadway and the magic of New York at Christmas. Chicago is also an option. I promise when I get a job, like a salary, I am going to take one big trip a year till I cannot walk anymore-- still probably after I can't walk-- then someone will wheel me around. I want to see it all. Everything. I hate feeling constricted but that is what I feel. I want to get on a plane and forget all my worries. No studying, no money problems, no boys, no nothing. Just go. I just want to go. Join me? think about it... Where would you go?

Rockin' Jesus

I would just like to share with the World how much Jesus is a rockstar! So at Passion 2011 a sermon was preached that was GOD TO ME! He spoke through this man to ME! It was was like right on the DOT about me! It began with the Story in Genius about the Older brother selling his birthright for a bowl of soup-- then he asked us "What is your bowl of stew" Then he said no LIE! To all you girls who's bowl of soup is a BOY-- STOP IT! He is coming in his own time or when GOD is ready for him to come! I just had lunch with a friend that just hit me upside the head with it! I told Andrew that i am ready to have something significant in my life, which in term means I am ready to have a boyfriend...WHICH IS SO DUMB...I do not need him i need HIM! I am now on track to become the Woman my husband is going to fall madly in love with. I am currently on a path to be so In love with Christ! these past couple weeks God has been planting these thoughts in my head like "Emily this not what you need to be thinking about..think about Me" I am so done worrying about having someone to hold hands with or someone to tell me I look pretty today because God does that for you! God holds my hand and God tells me im pretty because I am living for him. I have prayed for God to send me a husband and when Im good and ready for him God is going to send him. WHEN GOD IS READY HE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN! I do not know why it has taken me this long to realize this but my goodness it feels good! God is Good and Jesus is a Rockstar!

Spring Break

So we are on spring break. It will be nine days I have been away from Auburn and for the first time I do not want to go back. Why is that? Have you ever spent a week with people you are friends with but not like best friends with. I mean I consider them my best friends but we have all been friends for just a short freshman year. We left on Friday going to Josh Boor's house who lives on the Atlantic coast of FL we stayed at his house till Wednesday where we left for Sarasota, FL where my friend Allison lives. We have had some of the most fun ever! I have enjoyed every minute of this trip from the sunscreen to the sunburn to blow up mattresses, which we have a lot cause we there are ten of us, and it has been a blast! My friends are awesome but the point of this is to ask you is it possible to meet your best friends in such a short amount of time. It was my freshman year of college and I have met some of my best friends while trying to keep up with my two best friends are at home! I think it is very possible to meet your best friends so quickly! these people make me so happy and I love them to death! They inspire me to be better and grow with Christ everyday! It just took me a little while to find them! So War Eagle to Spring Break cause we are dreading going back to school and going back to being a normal college kid cause I want to lay on the beach for the rest of my life. I also think that being in FL I have gotten Tanner than i have ever been in my entire life. I love Spring Break!! War Eagle!!

Tubby Tubby

So today as I tried on my new bathing suits for spring break, of course got myself all worked up over not looking the way I want. In a few weeks it will have been one year since my back surgery and I had the surgery to look better and straighter but in the process of not being able to do alot while recovering I have gained the freshman 15 and it truly has me upset. I hate not being happy in my own skin but God made us all beautiful in his image, so when we are saying we do not like the way we look we are saying we are saying we do not like God's image he has created us in. I should be so thankful that God got me through this surgery free of complications and allowed me to have a speedy recovery! So why are we so focused are making ourselves look like a magazine models. Yes, do not get me wrong i would love to look like a Victoria secret model but let us all just face the facts that not many people do. Yes I can work really hard to get a body like theirs but i am in college and that takes time which an average college kid does not have! So as I stood in from of my mirror today crying over not having what I want I just cried and cried and then I just sucked it up and said I'm going to be thankful for the healthy body God has given me and work on when I get back from spring break cause I am to the point where I'm not comfortable in my own skin...it is not to impress anyone else I just want to get back to the way I use to look. I want to loose the freshman 15 and be happy with my body again.

Me.

This is blog is about me, yes I'm going to be selfish and blog about myself. My name is Emily Mills and i am almost 19 years old. I have great friends. I love Jesus but my number one guilty pleasure is Usher! My friends will all tell you that I have a serious problem with being obsessed with him. I really do have a problem! I really like grilled cheeses and I love coffee! I am that girl at Starbucks that takes twenty minutes to order her coffee. I love Starbucks!! You should be my friend, cause I am pretty cool. I can tell you all you want to know about Usher and I can teach you how to Swing Dance. My number one regret is life is quitting the piano. I am obsessed with food. I have the appetite of a 7 year old, it is NEVER ending! I can always eat! My mother is my hero and My niece is the CUTEST kid ever! The Family Stone is my favorite movie because I am in LOVE with how it ends! I really want all my children to play Basketball and it is my favorite sport to watch, even though I was never any good. I tend to be a Heart breaker because I can't make  up my mind to save my life. My mother tells me that I have the best taste in friends but the worst taste in relationships ever...She has chosen a few of friends that she would like me to marry and she just makes me laugh. I love the world and people :)

Fairytales

Do you want your life to be a fairytale? I have wanted my life to be a fairytale since the moment I read Snow White for the first time. I want to meet the boy once and know instantly he is the "one". In my life I have had more and more options for my life to be fairytale but I chosen to not let it happen because I was second guessing everything. I have had some Prince Charmings come along in life but always I find some excuse to why they aren't prince charming...the reason is because I believe that God has prepared a perfect Prince for me and I have this idea of how I am suppose to feel about him and he has just not come along yet. My Prince is out there i know it it is just being Patient with God and knowing that he is out there and I want him to find me in the Lord. That Cliche saying that a girl's heart should be so lost in God that he has to seek Him to find it but it is so very true. I do not want to justify myself by having someone else in my life. I want to be lost in God, which I am getting there, slowly but surely. The Lord has been revealing to me that He is enough for me and when He is ready to send Prince Charming to me, the prince will find me when he finds the Lord. This past weekend I listen to a seminar on Justifying yourself. He said most of us live by the saying I'm a good person because                          or I'm and justified because                       . Fill in the Blank....What justifies you? I do not want to Justify myself by anything. I want to be Lost in the Lord with everything in my life. Get lost with Me.
