I am a simple college girl. Going to school in Full Sail University in Orlando, FL. I have thoughts on randomness that goes on around me and the things happening to me. My friends are a huge part of my life and super important me.

“The [marketing] team also barred the phrase “Let the games begin.””—
How ‘Hunger Games’ Built Up Must-See Fever - NYTimes.com (via stryker)
Fascinating article. Hope you’re not sick of The Hunger Games because apparently the marketing team is keen on keeping the hype going even after the release.
This is a super interesting read

So this week I started my final three months and Full Sail which means that I am in final project. Final project consists of me (and in my case, my partner) working on one big project that shows off everything we have learned in the past 2 years in school. I am really looking forward to the upcoming months and so far it is going really well. If you would like to follow my journey through this process check out my tumblr that is dedicated to final projects.
Been learning a lot about beauty the last few days. Decided that it is time for me to feel beautiful.

This past weekend I was reminded just how important my family in Christ is here in Florida. There has been a lot of turmoil and attacks on our individual relationships in the past few weeks. We came together as a family this weekend and I saw all my brothers working together and doing something that they love. It reminded me how important it is to be in fellowship as a family. It was a beautiful picture of teamwork and family as they worked together to accomplish a common goal. I was remind of my love for serving and supporting them as I made cookies and they worked.
I don’t have any older sibling but I feel like I have a ton of big brothers. They each in their own way make me feel special and protect me. Whether is it opening doors for me, coving me with their coats in the rain, making sure I eat or just checking in on me. They reminded me everyday that I am special and deserve to be treated that way.
Yesterday was one year since I had met Andre. He has had a huge impact on my life since entering it a year ago. He has made me a strong person and been their through all the hard times. I can’t imagine going through the past year with out him. He has changed our friend group for the better and is loved by us all.
Guard your extend family because they are very important. Treat them like they are special because you never know the impact is could have on them.

A week or so ago. My paster was leading worship and mentioned conforming to the image of Christ. I had heard this phrase before, probably lots of times but for some reason this time it made me think.
We often think of conforming as a bad thing. We conform to the situations and people around us. The word itself as taken on this meaning where we lose ourselves and our individuality because we are just like everyone else. We seem to think that it means giving into peer pressure.
If you haven’t seen this video you need to watch it. This is what conformity looks like to us. We take pride in how long we can hold out. We even have the “hipsters” who are all about not conforming to the rest of society. It has been told to us that conforming is a bad thing. Don’t be like everyone else. Be individual. Be unique. Stay true to yourself.
Conforming to the image of Christ sounds all right and good when we hear the phrase. When we stop and think about it or try to act on it we go back to the fact that we want to be ourselves in this world and not like anyone else. This two ideas conflict. Is it possible that we are always conforming to something? and the only choice we have is what we conform to?
What do you think?

So it has been a really long time since I posted on here. I was going a lot of soul searching and asking a lot of hard questions and not really liking the answers I was getting. I am still struggling a lot but I am trying to get back or to a better place then were I was.
Last night I had this image of a dark room with a single light in the middle. I could see the ring spreading out right up to where it hit the darkness. I saw myself standing at the edge of that ring looking into the darkness. I knew that their was light behind me and that I need to move closer to it but I didn’t seem to know how to move.
That is about an accurate summary of what I feel right now. I have identified the darkness and the light. Identified where I should be and now I am working on figuring out how to move to that place.
I have become a pro at smiling even when I feel numb inside. I am struggling with being intentional about fighting. I have been wrapping myself up in work and school and anything that will distract me from what is going on. The moment those things aren’t distracting is the moment that I start to fall apart. I know I can’t hide anymore because I am sick of falling apart and am ready to just fight to get to where I need to be and stay there. I need a battle plan.
I played risk for the second time on saturday night and lost because my team spread are troops to thin. When we did that it made us vulnerable to attack and other teams came in and took us out. I don’t want to do the same, I don’t want to try and take on to much and spread myself out to thin so that I can easily be defeated. I need to get strong in one area at a time.
So here I go. putting on my battle face and heading out to take on what may come.

Gone is my motivation, my passion, my energy. I have done nothing productive all weekend. I have sat around playing on my new iPhone and watching tv. I am all for weekends like that but now it is time to be productive and get stuff done. I have school work and real work to do and yet I can’t find any motivation. I miss when just a few weeks ago I couldn’t wait to do my homework because it meant learning something new and exciting and now I dread it. I do everything but it. I feel burned out and passionless. I want to feel so ready to do something that it is all I want to do. Instead I feel sluggish and would rather waste hours when inside it is killing me that I am not being productive. I don’t know what I need to get over this. I want a simple answer. I thought a few days of rest would do it but it hasn’t seemed to help but only make it worse. How do I get that passion and drive back? What will it take to get it back?
