Okay...so it's been a few many days since I've last blogged and let me just say...it's been so very busy. I started school at NGU and after a rough day of registration, I was finally able to get everything figured out and all my transferable credits transferred. I won't go into the details, but I swear if I have to go through that mess again, I'll just quit. Ha. Yeah, that bad. Other than that, things are going great.
After starting school, I began to realize how much I miss all my friends back home. I feel so lonely sometimes in this big ol' city of Greenville. It's tough.
So last week Mannie came down to visit, and we went to the Rascal Flatts concert here in Greenville. Ginger was given tickets and she actually came down too, so that was exciting because I hadn't seen her for what seemed like forever. The concert was AMAZING, but I'm kind of bias since they are my absolute favorite...haha.
This week in chapel we're having Student Led Renewal. It's been pretty awesome. A guy (I can't remember his name) spoke this morning about "being God's light". He spoke about how we are so fast to condemn, shutting out those people that do not know Him, and leaving them in the darkness...only to push them away from the only Light that can save them from their darkness. I thought, hmmm...well that's not me. I'm nice to everyone. Uhhhh it's not just being NICE to someone. He talked about how just gossiping about someone, being the first to judge, hating, even hating things like abortion (which I am against) and our new President, and many other things...The deal is, if we're hating, how can we be loving as God wants us to love others? How can we be witness when we are only arguing our views and getting mad because they can't see it our way? So he challenged everyone. Instead of "hating" on these people, or whatever your case may be, why not DO something? Why not pray for the president and those leading our nation? Why not be a Light in the darkness that other people have?
This is just something to think about...it sure made me think.
...in Him there is no darkness...

yea, you are right... you are nice to everyone. Being God's light is so difficult when people hurt you or do things you do not agree with. I went to Cup of Joy conference for women and it shed light on this, too. That no matter how you feel being God's light is so important! Also how God doesn't like the things that we do, but he loves us through it all! I love you and think that you rock! I am so excited about seeing you soon!!!!! Just to let you know I will probably cry when i see you . . .
