Crazy Stuff.
This week has been really interesting. I found out today that one of my teachers was arrested for child *** abuse. I never really saw it coming..his class was difficult for me but now that we have a new professor, I am understanding so much better. The class found out we were learning chapters that were not on the syllabus, which explains my difficulty. Not that I am GLAD this happened...it is really shocking and disappointing, and I feel awful for the child.
On a brighter NOTE:
BOOBIETHON AND BREAST CANCER MONTH STARTS TOMORROW! Submit your photos! It's an amazing cause and if you would rather donate, there will be a donate button on there tomorrow. GO GO GO!!!
EDIT: I just found out my best friend's mom may have breast cancer. If you pray, please say a prayer for her. Thank you.
Song of the Day:
This song makes my heart hurt in a good way when I hear this in that it was the song during my freshman year of high school that gave me hope when I was considering suicide. You know the feeling I am talking about; when you hear something that triggers such a strong memory and you have this weird feeling of energy in the middle of your stomach, almost like butterflies...He is right here.
This second one is one of my absolute favorites. I know I will always fail at being like Jesus (So far from it right now) but I think this song helps in shifting my mindset of humanity; to really try to see the way He would.
xo.

Pink and LOVE.
Picture of the DAY:
^^ Click!
My sister used her good talent and combined just a peek of the quality time my niece and I share.
I just found it really unfortunate when you delete your Google account and everything you used it for..such as blogger, there is no way to log back in. Sucks :(
I decided to get another blog mainly so I could go Pink for October! Breast Cancer month is my favorite and I absolutely love do do anything I can! I am so stoked to be able to do the Boobie-thon this month! Every October, people send in pictures of their "boobies" to express their support for Breast Cancer. They have raised about 40,000 dollars to date, and the founder is amazingly from where I live, Oklahoma! Love you, Robyn!
My birthday is the 14th as well, and I can't believe how old I am getting. Age is such a fun thing to talk about.
Honestly, even though no one really knew this, it was difficult being a teenage blogger. Especially when people told me I was older cognitive wise, but that didn't really seem to matter because of my real "age". I was put into such a classification of today's "teenagers". I hated it so much but I did meet many blessings along the way and I don't think I would change much about it, as contradicting as that sounds. :)
I started my 2nd semester of college this August, and it has been so much more stressful than last semester. I have had some brief crying fits, mainly due to the fact my grades aren't what I was hoping for. It is not a matter of not studying, I have so much motivation to do well, it's just the gift of test taking that I was NOT given.
BUT!
Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock. (Isaiah 26: 3-4)

Could this have happened more perfectly?
I love how God shows me things. I am reading a book called "Come Closer" by Jane Rubietta. I just finished having a conversation with someone about trust in relationships and I sign off facebook and open the book and it was on the chapter of "Come for healing" It starts immediately by saying this:
"It felt like a body cast for the soul. Frozen, unable to reach forward or reach out, my heart immobilized by years of not trusting, not feeling, not talking. I could not even muster the strength to retrain myself to love, to forgive, to even care."
It then goes into the chapter a bit and I came along this that made my heart feel weird:
"Somehow the world imprinted on my frontal lobes the messages that life isn't safe and neither are relationships. Keeping my mouth quiet substituted for safety, though my moodiness damaged others. Eventually the anger burst through any self-imposed gag order, burning myself and others on blast off.
BUT our brains can be retrained. We do not have a God who is powerless over our concerns. Our God raised Jesus from the dead. Surely He can do the same for us in our various stages of unhealing and paralysis."
"I dammed the tears pressing against my eyes as I looked around the table, heard the stories, and tasted honesty. "I'm not okay. I'm really pretty messed up. But that's okay because you are too. And we're together in this."
