I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering that question.
I asked God. I said, God - is it a Yes? Is it a No? Is it a Wait?!!?
I did not get a response. I prayed that over a week ago. And I continued to pray it.
I was driving myself nuts, and today God firmly said no. It stinks because its clearly not what I want, but I am not going to do what I've done in the past. I cannot wrestle God because He always wins. It's fighting an uphill battle, so what I have to do is find joy in this. Joy in that God is the one making the shots, that He is the one that has my best intentions because He has a bigger picture. This time I really am going to be okay with this, because God knows best.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. " - God Himself.
CLAIMING my promises.

time to grow
Priorities (Kindof in a particular order)
1: God! This should be a given, but I seriously want to read my Bible everyday. And not just in the "I'm doing this to check off a list" type of read. No- I mean digging deep, getting down to business and hearing from the ultimate being who created the WORLD!
2: School Work! I came to school, and I've been so blessed. Liberty has been a huge blessing to me and by showing how much I appreciate it, I need to make sure I get my homeworks done. It's a pain... but I'll be so happy when I graduated.
3: Running! I've got legs, and I'm going to use them. Plus, it feels good.
4: Friends / my social life. This is important to me. Life is about relationships, and I've been given friends and I want to deepen those relationships.
This past weekend was fall break, and there were only 4 girls on the hall. By the end of break I realized how tired and weird I felt.
Maybe because I've settled within myself that I'M EXTROVERTED.
cha ching.
Back to more homework. Friday will be the best day of the semester I feel like.
see ya bloginator.

keep living the dream
This past Saturday, 7 boys and 4 girls got to run on the field before the cheerleaders and the football players. Two boys got to carry flags, that sported the words '12th Man' and '4QF'
The most exciting part is that I was one of the 4 girls. (Obviously not one of the boys..)
Right before we left, we got to stand at the edge of the field, and the Star Spangled Banner was playing, and we were saluting the American Flag and Roxie leans over and says, "Never forget this."
That is why I'm blogging now. It was cold out, and there were goose bumps on my arm, for a moment I felt like I was apart of something big. Like we came together and formed America for what it is today.
If you want to watch it in all of its beauty.
Afterwards, Roxie and I had plans to see Oklahoma with some friends from our first year, and they dropped our tickets off at the will call so they didn't have to wait on us. Since the game started at 7 and the show was 7:30.
The lines to change out of our ridiculous outfits to classy wear (aka the bathroom) was out the door, so we had no other option but to find a secluded staircase and take care of business. The best part of the story is that we had 5 minutes to spare.
