P3 Fall Retreat- Senior Year.

This time of year is so busy for me. I am just now getting around to blogging most of my November. It's almost over. But it has been such a fun month! Let me get started with pictures from our fall retreat. 

This year P3 (First Pres youth group) headed up to Ridgehaven Conference Centers which is near Brevard, NC. It's in the mountains and it is absolutely beautiful. And it was C-O-L-D. Friday was spent driving. Saturday we heard from Taiter in the morning, went and visited downtown Brevard in the afternoon, and heard from Brock in the evening. They both did a great job! Sunday we headed home, and then some of us left and drove to Raleigh for the Lecrae concert. It was a really busy, really fun weekend!
The four high school girls. 

Love love this one. She makes me smile.

Sweet time with all these girls!

Selfies on Tait's phone because we knew it would make her happy.

Did I mention that Jesslyn came as a leader? Cousin love.

Taiter with the seniors. Bryan's face…

I was so glad to be able to go on this trip. I remember my first fall retreat, in 7th grade, and how terrified I was of the seniors but also how much fun it was. And now like 5 years later, I am the senior. This is just another one of these "lasts". I will have a couple more youth trips before it's all said and done, but I really did enjoy this one.

Fairness and Survivors: Breast Cancer Awareness 2015

Image
As per usual, I'm procrastinating tonight. I have a paper due on the European spice trade. But the European spice trade isn't what's on my heart tonight. It's October. The time for pumpkins, scarves, and falling leaves. It's one of my favorite months of the year. It's also Breast Cancer Awareness month. These past few weeks, I have seen so many "survivor video" links on my Facebook. They're awesome. Those ladies (and men), every single one of them is incredible, and I praise God that they were healed. But I didn't want to watch the videos. I didn't want to hear how the doctors saw the cancer cells and were able to get them out through surgery at the nick of time. I didn't want to hear how the chemo worked for them or how the radiation was able to kill the cells. I didn't want to. Because more than anything in this world, I want to be able to click on a link on my Facebook page and see the survivor story for my mom. ...

My Friend, You Did Not Create the World.

My friend, It's been a long while since I've written. Let me just say that junior year of college hits like a freight train going at full speed with no warning horns.  Rumor on the street is that people are already asking you what lies beyond graduation. Crazy right ? We have a whole year and some before that.  But we're constantly wondering what lies before us, aren't we? Asking ourselves a million times a day how the decisions we make now will affect us later on. Where will I be in two years, five years, ten years? What city, what state? What will my career be, where will I live? What relationships will I have? Will I be financially stable? Will I be happy? Will I have friends? Will I be married?  It's mind boggling how much time we spend worried, concerned, anxious about the next steps.  My friend, we get into the terrible habit of getting caught up in our worries and our anxieties and instead of going before the Lord and ask...

Reality Check times 2

Image
Why is it that I get the most motivated to type a post when I have homework to do? I've always been a procrastinator but for some reason I just really want to type when I know I need to be doing pre-cal or tech work. Oh well. I just wanted to share some things that have been on my mind lately.  Two things that caused me to have a major reality check today. I mean major. Earlier today I was sitting outside of starbucks doing my tech work for my English 101 class. If you're unfamiliar with Dual Credit, basically I take college classes while still in high school, through FDTC and get college credit and high school credit. It's super helpful, and right now I'm taking English. So like I said, I am sitting outside of starbucks drinking my four dollar coffee, typing on my Mac, playing with my iPhone (more procrastinating), and wearing the, what I feel like at least, is the typical white girl outfit of a tshirt and leggings. I'm not complaining, I wear this outfit ALL T...
