  • Moments.

    So that last time I wrote was in December. A lot has changed since then. (but some things haven't)
    I am now back at Auburn for my sophomore year and LOVIN it.
    I have an amazing roommate, Hanna.
    I am getting along with my family and my dad will be retiring Feb. 1, 2010!
    I am getting tuition paid for because the GI Bill was passed.
    I went to Kenya for 8 wks this summer and fulfilled a childhood dream. (during which most of my friends got engaged, married, or pregnant! )
    I am crazy, madly in love with Andrew still. (it will be a year this month)

    What I have learned this past 6 months:
    I have learned to forgive quickly.
    I have learned to pray often.
    I have learned to lean on God's strength and not my own.
    I have learned that "you gotta leave the past behind ya. Hakuna Matata"
    I have learned that young people look up to me and respect me. (and I don't want to lose that)
    I have learned that I can be a good example to those younger than me. (and make a difference)
    I have learned to be a better supporter of missionaries.
    I have learned a lot about myself.
    I have learned that I can be over 120lbs and still be beautiful.
    I have learned how to eat healthy.
    I have learned that grades aren't everything, God is and relationships with people are.
    I have learned to not take life for granted because life really is too short.
    I have learned that you can find joy in any situation.
    I have learned to see God's grace even admist the worst situations.
    I have learned that one man's trash is another man's treasure.
    I have learned that you can make or break someone's entire day by saying the wrong thing.

    I have learned a lot these past six months and I know God will continue to reveal to me new things that need to be improved or old things that still need more work. He is constantly wanting me to be the best that I can be for Him.

    Change is all around us. Things happen all the time. You just got to deal with the changes and decide if the changes will change you or if you will change the changes. =)

    I'm out.

  • Pushing Me Away.

    I've lied to you
    The same way that I always do
    This is the last smile
    That I'll fake for the sake of being with you

    (Everything falls apart
    Even the people who never frown
    Eventually break down)
    The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
    (Everything has to end
    You'll soon find we're out of time left
    To watch it all unwind)
    The sacrifice is never knowing

    Why I never walked away
    Why I played myself this way
    Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
    Why I never walked away
    Why I played myself this way
    Now I see your testing me pushes me away

    I've tried like you
    To do everything you wanted too
    This is the last time
    I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

    (Everything falls apart
    Even the people who never frown
    Eventually break down)
    The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
    (Everything has to end
    You'll soon find we're out of time left
    To watch it all unwind)
    The sacrifice is never knowing

    Why I never walked away
    Why I played myself this way
    Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
    Why I never walked away
    Why I played myself this way
    Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
    (We're all out of time
    This is how we find how it all unwinds)
    The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
    (We're all out of time
    This is how we find how it all unwinds)
    The sacrifice is never knowing
    Why I never walked away
    Why I played myself this way
    Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
    Why I never walked away
    Why I played myself this way
    Now I see you're testing me pushes me away
    Pushes me away

  • Quote time!

    so here's a piece of advice: let go when you're hurting too much, give up when love isn't enough, and move on when things are not like before. for surely there is someone out there who will love you even more.
    fat

    i want to be the kind of girl who leaves an
    everlasting impression. I don't want to be
    the type that you'll forget in a week. I want
    to be hard to forget. I want to have the kind
    of impact on someone where they know
    they'll never find anyone else who could
    ever take my place.

    never

    Just Live
    and do what makes you happy
    be with the ones who make you smile
    && laugh as much as you breathe
