Fritz-My future dog!

Today as I was making that lovely drive from Mobile to Auburn an idea popped in my head! I WANT A DOG! When I'm a Junior in College I'm going to get a Beagle! They may shed a ton but they are so cute! I have to have one! So it is decided I am getting a Beagle puppy when I am a junior and have my own apartment. Well then another idea popped in my head! WHAT WILL HIS NAME BE? So then I went through all my favorite things. Disney Movies? thought about Hercules or Zues but then i thought well i am in college I think i should maybe stay away from naming my dog after a Disney Movie. Then i moved on to Movie-- Well as most of my friends know im obbsessed with the movie the Family Stone but there really are no good names in that movie besides Thad and Gus...so those are options. Then I moved on to other movies. Harry and Ron are options too. Then i moved on to T.V. and most of you know I LOVE Vampire Dairies so Stefan and Damon are options for the dogs name. oh and BTW the puppy will be a boy :) Then I moved on to favorite books.....My favorite book of all time is The Swiss Family Robinson, i have read it like a million times and this is where the birth of my puppies' name came! My future Beagle Puppy will be names Fritz! After my favorite Character in my Favorite Book! What is your favorite?

Bio Test with God.

The release of stress is a great feeling, to complete something that you have worked so hard for.  I just completed a bio test that I studied very hard for and it felt so good to walk out of that exam room. The test was hard as mess but I was okay with that because it was simply over. Now I am in Starbucks enjoying a lovely cup of coffee thinking about how I do not have to study for a biology test today! I was so nervous about this test because I hadn’t studied as much as I usually do for bio test because I felt like I  knew it all, and I did. I had seen all these things before, but I was still so nervous. I said my prayer to myself like I always do before big test and I took a deep breath and went on with the test. The test was hard but I felt a sense of calmness about it because I think God was with me. Funny the way He works, if you need him to he will come be with you while you take a Biology test, that’s how GREAT MY GOD IS! God was there for me when I called upon him! I think he realized that a bunch of people were praying for me on this test and saw how nervous I was and came to be with me, like seriously my GOD is so awesome that he comes to be with me in my time of need, whether it be a biology test or a drive home he is there no matter what! My God is AWESOME and is always there for me!

But I trust in your unfailing love;
   my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Psalm 13:5

This is a whole Blog dedicated to my best friend Eric Elmore. He is the sweetest boy you will ever meet and treats me like a princess and im so blessed to have him in my life. This boy loves God to the very core of his being, which is an inspiratiion to us all! If you get to meet him you are lucky, because he is amazing! I am four hours away from him and i miss him more and more everyday! I love you ERIC!!

Letting Go.

Letting go is hard. If you have or have had someone in your life that you have loved or love the hardest thing to do is see them walk away. In my past experiences in relationships I have usually been the one that has walked away but for those of you who know how it feels to see the person you love happy with someone else, it’s hard.  The hardest part is knowing that that person you love has replaced you and no longer has the same feelings for you. These past weeks have been a struggle for me just to see so many happy couples and knowing that everyone is happy but me. THIS SHOULDN’T BE THE CASE! I love the Lord with all my heart and that should be enough for me. I hate that I have come to the conclusion that in order to be happy I MUST have a boyfriend but it is not they key to happiness. Yes, do not get me wrong when you have found a person who makes you happy it’s a good thing, with a healthy Christ centered relationship can be a great thing for people. I have truly been struggling very hard with this and have even asked a good friend of mine to be my accountability partner in the process that I and he are going through the same thing. I am letting go of everything that is keeping me from Christ. I am letting go of the fact that boys do not equal happiness. God equals happiness.

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. Psalm 32:7-8

Differences...

The other day I had to write a 500 word essay about an interview I had with someone who is different from me in four ways. I choose to “interview” one of my best friends, Miguel, seeing that I didn’t read the assignment till the night before it was due I didn’t exactly interview him. I more along the lines of guessimated what Miguel would say, but it got me thinking about how different Miguel and I truly are but what great friends we are. Miguel, Eric, Frankie, Kyle, and Eamon are 5 boys who mean the world to me, but I really started to realize how different I truly am from ALL of them. Why is that people who are different get along so well? I think it is again all in God’s plan. I know God blessed me with these boys for a reason, yes they all at some point have driven me crazy but my life would be nothing without them. They complete me. I know how cliché is that? But it is true, without them I would not be where I am today from just me in general to my relationship with Christ to just the way I take on each day, they have taught me more than I could have ever expected, they are my BEST friends. Within each of those 5 boys is a heart of gold. They all have their own ways of showing that. Kyle, the soon to be preacher/missionary, will text me every day and somehow we end up talking about how we can pray for each other that day, I love it. Miguel, sometimes we bicker and fight but in the end he is always the one telling me I can do anything I set my mind too. Eric, the sweetheart, tells me every day that he loves me and misses me and can’t wait for me to come home. Frankie, music man, this boy always has a new song to show me and a new hug to give me. Eamon, my personal advice column, I sometimes will just text him a question to get his opinion and it gives me an opportunity to talk it out with someone. These boys all have something to offer to my own personality they are sweet, sincere, and very cute! Again they complete me. So take a moment and think about the people in your daily life and see how different you truly are from them because together you make a whole. I am different from each of these boys in a different way and they have helped me become the person I am today. How are you different from the people you love?
