Refresh

2008 is coming and going; 2009 swiftly making its way towards us.

Break has been.... interesting, to say the least. Being snowed in seems to bring out the worst in people, but it also gives you plenty of time to think. This past year has been an incredibly stressful, crazy and hard year. Friendships faded, ankle bones were broken, new school, new friends, changing like crazy, forgiveness, winning then watching it fall apart, leaving and so much more. I will certainly miss it, but it is exciting for a restart. 
A new year with endless possibilities. 
A new year for laughter, life and love. A year to follow God's plan for my life and to live that life for him. 
A new year to experience.
A new year for both pain and rejoicing.
A new year where I have no control. 

Bring it 2009!

what is a girl to do

life is a tad on the confusing side of the universe as we speak.
currently, I've been yearning for change. I've tried multiple outlets with positive outcomes, but not what is calling out from within me. I feel the need for change on my life path.
to be completely honest with you, i haven't got a clue what i should do with my life nor do i know what i want to do. i don't know where i am supposed to be at (other than i know nnu is the perfect fit), who i am supposed to be with or what i am supposed to be doing. that is a lot of confusion, right?
some days i wake up in the morning and i say, "yay God building!"
other days i think, "oh no, this isn't what i want to do with my life."
the idea of social work taunts me as what i should be doing, but is it what i want to do?
well...maybe.
then, there is the art building. with questions in hand about a paper i'd written for survey of art (a thinly veiled wording for art history class), i traveled down to the basement of the white brick fine arts building. reaching the door whose glass window allows a portal to the words "department of art and design", i take a deep breathe. i walk in and feel completely different. the smell of paint lingers in the air and as i look around i see different hues, concentrated joyous faces and a sense of identity within these walls. but my question is, will i find my own identity here? sure, i love to create. without pen and paper, i could not get through most days. sure, i'm good at it. i'm left with questions yet to be answered and a little bit of emptiness inside.
i'm just a confused girl right now.
please pray.

Fresh Start

I'm back. I know, it was a short and sweet rebellion. I tried the whole wordpress thing, but they over complicate things for my taste. Let's stick to simplicity is what I say. Who knows, I might just post in both blogs. That would be something to talk about. 
Sometimes you just need a fresh start. Everybody does. Lately I've been feeling the need for change. I've undergone some already. Cutting six inches off my hair, trusting again and making the first step to recovery. Most changes are progressive, overtime will happen, but I know they need to happen. They are also hard changes that require more trust and effort than I thought I'd ever be willing to put in. Good thing I've got Jesus Christ on my side, huh? He's one thing that never changes, an always amazing constant in my life. 
Hot tea and off to bed for me. 
Goodnight.
