I've realized FINALLY what I think God is leading me to do. I want to go somewhere, somewhere like Africa or China, and preach God's word to the people who are ignorant. I'm not saying I think I need to do this with my entire life....I'm saying...I want to do this at least once in my life. We are all called to tell people his word but I'm afraid that I won't do it unless I am put in a situation where it's absolutly life threatening.
I wanna go to the places where people have never had the chance to hear what the Bible says. I want to give them hope. To show them the way to heaven. The only way is to truely believe in Jesus Christ...to believe that he died on the cross to save our sins and to give us everlasting life. I've got to tell people. I'm going to practice here but I really am feeling the need to go somewhere else. I'm even having dreams ya'll......dreams about me going to some place to share the word. I believe God is trying to tell me something...I believe he's trying to tell me to preach his word.
I've never been so close with God as I am now...I know that I still have a long way but I just feel so good. I know that I am on the right track. I know that God is with me where ever I go. I love that when I feel as if no one is "on my side" or when everything seems to go wrong in my life, that God is with me. He's always on my side. He's always with me.
I'm so excited about this. I feel that the only way to show how much I trust in the Lord is to actually go somewhere that I have to "trust in him."
So I'm on the lookout....I'm going to finish school and become a teacher but there's always the summer. I could go during the summer.
As always...trusting in the Lord,

World Trade Center
so i saw World Trade Center the other night with Jamie and he and I both were taken aback by the movie. I expected it to be too Hollywood-ish and didn't want to go. But the movie turned out to be really tastefully done and was pretty touching.
There was one particular part that I can't stop thinking about. The movie is based on the TRUE stories that two survivers told. In one part of the film, one of the men seems to give up....he is going to die. All of a sudden, Jesus appears. (It's kind of like he's having a "near death experience." He said that Jesus was holding a bottle of water (the two men had just spoken about how thirsty each of them was). He said Jesus told him that his time wasn't up...it comforted him and he awoke and was saved very soon after.
I don't know about you...but to me...that gives me so much joy and hope. To hear a TRUE story...of a survivor of a horrific disaster...tell that he saw Jesus (he was a believer) gives me so much hope. It brings sadness to me because of the people who do not know Jesus or believe in him as I do.
I think on that scene daily and pray that if I were ever in a situation like that...Jesus would come and comfort me...whether I am to die..or miraculously , live, as the man did.
I believe that people who look at the Bible and read about the angles coming to people or Jesus himself coming to people and say "Well, these never happen now a days so this can't be real" will come to realize what is happening around them. This man was a survivor and if it happened to him it could happen to anyone. I still believe Jesus or angles come to us and are always with us but especially when we need him. I've experienced some of it in my life (not as much as I would like) but enough for me to say i have had personal experience.
I hope people can open their eyes and see what is going on around them. The Bible says in Revelation that before the end of days there will be a one world currency....well look at the Euro in Europe....also...it says there will be wars and devestating hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes....isn't that happening....also...it says (very little) that cash money will be non exsistant and everyone will use cards....debit...credit....also it says we will not be able to tell one season from the next....global warming....i don't know but we haven't been getting as much snow...
I'm not saying the end of the world is coming. No one knows when that will be. I believe we are still far away...but the world is changing and I think all the signs are there...if people will just open their eyes and believe...before its too late!

So, I've been thinking.....
Western needs more parking....hah..I know..but my brain is fried ya'll....
But seriously, commuters can't find anywhere to park! THey have to park All the way down at the village...that's kinda ridiculous....
Also...Coulter's elevator needs to be fixed because seeing as that's my HOME away for home...becuase I'm in there ALL THE TIME...i would like to have to option of taking a relaxed ride to the top of the building...especially when I have all my voice books, flute, guitar, and books....in my two little wee hands...
oh...did i mention that there was no toilet paper or paper towels in the bathroom today and the horror does not stop there...oh no...there was also NO SOAP
how cruel how unjust....
okay...i'm finished..back to memorizing useless facts about psycology and neurons and brain barriers and dendrites and....
God bless,

Hi everyone!
It's been quite a long time since I've actually written a blog but it seems as though things are about to change so I've decided to start it up again. The purpose of this blog is for any kind of complaining or praising that I wish to do. (Even though I know ya'll like to read it too!)
So today was SUPPOSED to be reading day but I, of course, do not get a READING today.
Here was my day:
8:00-10:00 practice for my strings final (which I was freaking out about)
10:00-11:00 had breakfast with a friend
11:00-12:30 meeting with Europe adviso20r/practice with theory composers/
12:30-2:00 shower and get dressed
2:00-4:00 voice lesson and a bunch of talkin about how my life is gonna be next year
4:00-4:20 rehearsal for recital
4:20-5:00 string exam
5:00-6:00 recital
6:00-8:20 dinner
8:20-1:20 AM library/theory homework
needless to say...today was CRAZY but I'm really excited about starting the summer. The only thing is:
I'm gonna miss all my friends like crazy! Especially the one's that are graduating or moving away. The good thing is I do have a cell phone;therefore, they will be bombarded with calls...they'll end up hating me ...har har!
Well, that's all i got for ya tonight! I gotta go to sleep....early classes tommorow..psychology...ext....
God bless!
