"Maybe I push when I'm meant to be still, maybe I take it all too personal..." (newsboys)...the lyrics just played, and they resonated with my soul. Which reminds me to share this song (below) with you! It's my new favorite!
This week I have been through an interesting situation that taught me a lot of things. It taught me:
a) do not jump to conclusions, especially when you have just one person's word
b) the Bible is totally applicable to life. when you have a conflict, go to the source of the conflict
c) sometimes you walk out of situations feeling stupid and immature (and you know that other people see you that way) but you just need to admit to yourself that you messed up and move on
life goes on...
just be.
another weekend...that week passed SO FAST. so much to do--ah!!
I went grocery shopping yesterday and got GRAPES!! and yogurt! and milk! and juice. real juice. it has been worth every penny.
My friend dared me to give up coffee for 3 days. On...day two I drank a large mocha. BUT! I deactivated my facebook account. a worse addiction methinks.

2012 :)
When I think about the fact that it is the year 2012, I sorta understand what adults mean when they say that time starts to fly by as you get older. I think about how twelve years ago I was a little girl anticipating a double digits birthday, staring in toy store windows at dolls that I wanted for Christmas, and just discovering that boys could be oh so annoying but oh so fun to play with...
Twelve years later...my jaw wants to drop, I want to scream, and I just can't believe all that happens in a little over a decade. Or that I am less than six years away from being done with a formal education...never thought that day would come. Adulthood becomes scary at about this moment. Yet also exciting!
I have less than a week of break left before I head back to Nyack for my second semester. Honestly, contemplating last semester I can't say I am excited to go back, but I am trusting that there are new things in store these next few months so I am eager for change and new things!
To recap last semester, it was hard. It was stressful. It wasn't what I expected from my first semester at a Christian college. But it was eye opening. And I believe than challenges are opportunities to strengthen faith and grow. So I am thankful.
Other than going to school at Nyack this spring semester, I don't know what 2012 holds. I don't think I'll be coming back to Colorado for spring break, so I could be going four to six months without seeing my family...a big challenge! Summer plans are still under prayer.
My prayer for this year:

January 1, 2011 !!
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850
I dunno, I like the classic poets and we have snow right now (yaaay!) so I thought it the most appropriate quote. I was thinking about getting on to post last night at midnight but I knew I might say something stupid so I decided not to! Plus I was way too tired!
Every year on New Year's Eve we get together with some of our oldest, best family friends and go bowling then to our house for pizza. We all stay up until midnight to watch the ball drop in NYC on the television. Usually in years past all of us kids have had lots of energy. But last night we were all so tired we just lounged around. We are getting so old!!
To tell the truth, I think 2011 is going to be one of the most eventful yet scary years of my life! Going to Africa, packing up everything in my room (tears), going to college...I mean all that will need to happen to make it the craziest year ever is for me to get married! And if my mom had superpowers she would snag Tim Tebow for me so he could pay for my college!
I saw Tangled yesterday with a friend. It was SO cute! Not just cute but just...good all around. As everyone has been saying. One of the best, if not the best, animated film I have seen ALL YEAR! (2010 year, mind you).
As to New Year resolutions, I don't really make any. I can't remember ever doing so in the past...and if I did it just goes to so how quickly I forget them. But what I do pray for is that this year I can accept change with more grace and peace while retaining the joy of the Lord.
