Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I just have a little bit to say about this very special day. On such a commercially run day as Valentine's Day you are bound to run into at least two types of people. There are those who are in relationships and those who aren't. Those who aren't usually address today as Single's Awareness Day and then they mope around like they have nothing better today. Today I woke up and the first thought God gave me was "Share My Love with someone else today". I was so startled by the thought because it rang as clear as a bell in my head. If there is one thing I've learned at Regent it is to follow God whenever he takes the time to speak. So that is what I will do today. This Day of Love I will share with others who perhaps never experience God's love before. I implore you all to do the same. If you run across someone who is in a bad mood today take the time to show them they are loved. This could be the simplest gesture and it might make the biggest impact on their day. Love you all!

Happy Valentine's Day!

P.s. Don't forget to hit up the stores tomorrow because all the Valentine candy will be 90% off!

A lesson from Babies

I just finished watching this documentary called Babies and I had a sort of mini revelation. In this movie there are four babies that live in different parts of the world that are being documented for the first year of their life. I have never been outside of America so it is cool to see the different cultures that come along with the different babies. This was definitely a multi-reaction movie for me. At first I felt so small. In the whole scheme of things I really am just a speck of dust on a speck of dust but I can live with that because I know God loves all of the little dust balls. This feeling of smallness did make me question some of my life choices though. I know I need to seriously reevaluate how much time I spend on meaningless things. Then I just felt so happy. Happy that the love between parent and child is universal. Happy there are still places in the world that technology hasn't taken over. Happy to see more of the good in the world than the bad. Usually when I am watching a story on another country it is something negative like a natural disaster, genocide, or the corruption of mortality. After all that it is hard to remain optimistic but this movie certainly helped me see the brighter side of things. Said all that to say I strongly recommend this film and I hope you have the best day today and every day that follows.

ZUMBA!

Whew.
Zumba is intense.
I just finished this new workout at my local rec center and I know I will be feeling it tomorrow. Heck, I'm feeling it now. Though it was hard I have to admit it was fun. When I couldn't keep up I just danced how I wanted with the music. The instructor was cool and she had a great taste in workout music. It was funny to watch her sing along to the songs as she told us which way to move. Some of the hardest songs for me to dance to were the ones that are also on the wii game Just Dance II. I have this game and I've played it so much that I feel like the dance moves are now programed into my body. I hope they play those songs at the Valentine Day Dance that SLABE is putting on because I'll be tearing it up on the dance floor for sure. Well time for more homework.

Be blessed everyone!

RSU Assembly...you should go!

1 down 7 to go

Ohhh how this blog frustrates me sometimes.
I highlight all my text just to change the font and then it gets deleted for some odd reason. This happens everytime! I just wrote a heart felt entry on my first semester of college and what a great time I am having at Regent. Then all the text disappears and I can't get any of it back. So I wrote this instead because I'm too tired to rewrite the whole post.

Oh well.

1 semester down, 7 more to go.

Year Long Goals

Have you heard of the 365 photo challenge?

Well it's basically where you take one photo everyday for a year and post it to...well whatever social network you like.

I have decided that I will take this challenge starting Christmas day. I'm thinking of posting every picture for this project on facebook as well as making a Tumblr account. With the Tumblr I'm hoping to post mini stories of my day or whatever random thoughts I think up that go along with the picture. It's mainly for fun but we will see where it all goes by Christmas 2011.

34 days until Christmas! I haven't been this excited for Christmas for a while. I think it is because I have a new understanding of God and Jesus. Perhaps it is just the joy that I can do so much for other now. I don't really know but I am excited!

Oooowwweee

Well today was a good day. Class was fun and I was in an overall happy mood...or at least I was until I went to the dentist today. My reason for heading to the dentist was to get 4 teeth pulled, and no, they weren't wisdom teeth. I have braces and my orthodontist told me I had too many teeth in my mouth so that is why they were pulled.

It didn't hurt thanks to all the numbing shots. They gave me 10 in total which numbed me up so much that my eye lids even went numb. It really wasn't that bad but I did pysch myself out so much that I was sweating and shaking. At one point the dentist ask me what I was saying, I hadn't realized I was mumbling my inner prayers out loud. It was funny trying to talk afterwards but I didn't enjoy the awkward tingling all over my face. I've always wondered why everything feels so swollen when your numb.

As of now I lay in my bed, watching television, and playing tetris while trying to avoid pain with the medication they gave me. The numbness is gone and I'm thankful for that. Tomorrow is suppose to be the day of ultimate pain but my lovely mother has stocked me up with a stack of good movies, comfy slippers, and soup! God Bless all the Mommas out there. Of course...I'll have to do some homework in between there but overall it should be a slightly pleasant day tomorrow.
