End of Freshman Year

Well, I never thought this day would finally come... I'm moving home on monday! Just working on finals right now but of course I got distracted and I made a video of the dorm room that me and my wonderful roomie Melissa shared this whole year! hope you enjoy my little tour of the room <3

I've been sitting in the library for two hours now, did some homework, worked on a project and a paper, but, like I always do, I got distracted with facebook... I was trying to find some inspirational quotes for my status because I don't always like posting bible verses. Anyways, I found this awesome website called www.topbibleverses.com and it makes it so SIMPLE to find the verses you need to read! It's all organized by category and subject on the left hand side... I found so many verses I know the Lord wanted me to hear just through this alone.

I've been going through alot this week; my eyes have been opened up to so much and I still have so much to realize! God has been showing me how sinful I am, and that I'm so undeserving; but He LOVES me ANYWAY! He provides for me in ways I don't even need! He longs for my love just as I long for HIS! What could drive HIM to choose me?? Who am I to judge others? Who am I not to wake up and praise Him for giving me another day to turn it all around? Who am I to think I am deserving after all the mistakes I've made?? I just can't believe someone, something so AMAZING can be so merciful to us! Yes, US! God feels the same exact way about you! He wants to know you and love you and for you to belong to Him!

love GOD love OTHERS love LIFE <3

I just stumbled on this amazing website that I feel like I really need to share! It's called

www.operationbeautiful.com

I'm going to start actively participating in it when I get back on campus tomorrow! Operation Beautiful's mission is to get people to write an encouraging note and leave it in a public place for anyone to see, and as a result, change the way girls see themselves; let them know they are BEAUTIFUL- no matter what!! This movement is aimed almost directly at girls who have low self esteem for whatever reason - its so easy to get stuck in the rut or thinking you aren't as beautiful or as worthy as others. I really think that leaving these notes would be just as much fun as finding them! Here's a few examples some friends have already done...

Spring has Sprung! I'm off to Maine today; hopefully the sun will be strong and warm enough to go to the beach! Ever since I went to Florida and the water was warmer than the air, I refuse to go in any water cold enough that my legs will go numb.

10 reasons I love the beach so much;

1.) It's NEVER quiet, yet its always so calm (not matter how crowded it is).

2.) sun = tan!

3.) one word, ROMPERS!

4.) people watching is inevitable.

5.) my favorite place to go running.

6.) sand castles :)

7.) you're supposed to just sit and do nothing!

8.) you will always remember walking on the beach with someone holding your hand (aww!)

9.) this might be weird, but I LOVE to use the sand as an exfoliator!

10.) My favorite beach in Maine has a bridge you can either jump off into the water or go crabbing off... I always choose crabbing :)

Why do YOU love the beach? or maybe, why DON'T you love the beach??

Today, God finally decided to make it start to feel like SPRING! my favorite time of year! I spent the day with dad, which was awesome b

ecause I've always been a daddys girl. We went to salvation army and gave away maad clothes and I had so much fun thrifting! I got some shirts, a blazer kinda linen thing a purse and tap shoes that fit! They're super shiny black patent leather and I've never ever had a pair like that before... strange because that's the traditional kind. We went food shopping at all our favorite organic stores - trying our hardest to stay healthy. The only thing I don't like about spring is allergies, its not even green outside and I can already feel it. Oh well I can deal with it because I'm

looking forward to this...
