Comfort Zone

So today while in Chapel I was giving a girl I know a hard time about taking my seat. The chair(s) she and her friends were sitting in I and my friends have sat in since Sophomore Year now. I was sick one day (a few weeks back) and they started sitting there...

Well She immediately jumped to the defensive, and talked about how that was her seat and how she had been sitting in it for quite some time now. I pointed out that she started sitting there when I was sick, she looked at me and informed me "well you move it you loose it"

**Note I was NOT arguing with her, simply giving her a hard time and such like

But this made me think... are we THAT set in our ways, buried so deep in our comfort zone, and not to mention competitive to fight over a seat in chapel/church

yes church... I have seen this in the churches too people sitting in the same pew and yelling at others or pouting if someone else is sitting in "their seat"

Or what about if the Pastor shakes it up a little? the service is not in the exact same order as it has been for the past thirty-six years... what then? they people get sent into a crazy frenzy

Why are we so convinced that God will love us more if we sit in the exact same seat in the front of the church or it the service stays the same

What would people do if someone went in and totally remodeled the church over night and it didn't look the same on the inside? What significant value does any of it truly hold?

Will we still have "our seat" in church when we reach Heaven? will the seat we sat in even matter?  When we stand at the gates will God quiz us on where we sat? "OH you moved around sitting in different spots you cant enter Heaven only people who sat in the same place can..." or "Oh you sat in the back? sorry that's not good, but well you get bonus points because you sat there faithfully"

Get out of your comfort zone, thats when God really works... do you think that Jesus was in His comfort zone up on the cross? but He did it to save you... was Peter in his comfort zone when he walked on water? no but he did it....

end thoughts....

yup another day

So I am sitting here listening to a recording from Saturday Night, i was told that i tend to talk in my sleep or atleast i did friday night, so i recorded sarturdaynight while i slept to see if i would talk again, so far nothing, just so you know.....

I currently hold 2 on campus jobs, and interviewd on friday for an off campus job at Maurices... I hope i get it, its a little more income than the other  two and the whole broke college student thing, gets a little annoying just so you know

So I have been thinking alot lately about who I am supposed to marry... I dunno, every one around me seems to be getting married, its awesome and i of coarse am happy for my friends but at the same time I of coarse keep thinking, when is it my turn? when will i find prince charming, when will i get to walk down the aisle.... I dont want to just get married right now, but i wouldnt mind atleast finding the guy and atleast dating him for now! im am very okay with that...

i guess its just not the right time, but is it me? or is it him? am i not ready or is it him thats not ready? i just dont know... if its me, i should would like to know what i need to do to get ready, and yes i know i am sooooo over thinking this and just being a silly girl, but those are the thoughts on my mind

because blah blah blah

Well lets see its been a fun couple of weeks
had a scar miss Anya Maria decided to head dive into the dresser she looked like Cindy Loo Hoo and her gums are beat up pretty good and her front two teeth are loose soo they have to be checked... However that girl has no stopping her.... She keeps trying to eat stuff she shouldn't be... she is definitely one tough cookie

Well I really wanna go to the Dominican Republic this summer... oh and China
I had the privilege to meet Ina who is from Missouri graduated from HLG and is currently serving in in teh DR and is always looking for people to come out and visit for a few weeks....

Then Miss Anna wants me to come live with her in China for a month, so I am really hoping i can do this, of coarse I am deff going to be looking for ways to raise money and everything so this is something that can happen

:)

crazyness

Okay sooo I may have miss placed my password for this but never fear my friends I am back with an vengeance
okay well since last time
-Went to Warped Tour, that was a time and a half, and i got to do it with Emily which was even better
-Stayed with Andrea and Michael for a few days which was beautiful and helped Lincoln College kids move in
-Moved into school
-Helped move freshman in as a part of swarm squad and was a team leader
-David Crowder Concert
   Worshiping with David Crowder is always an amazing experience when singing about my sinces upon the cross, my eyes were shut and i could literally see stuff from my life on a cross like its gone now making everything a little more real

well im off to sleep this sinus infection is kicking my butt
untill next time friends

this is silly i know

sooo today a relationship was made official on facebook :)
This is pretty exciting
for several reasons...

This is a real guy, hes a sweet heart, and a man of God. I can feel safe with him and not feel as if he is only after one thing.

best part? yup his mom LOVES me, that wedding i was talking about... yeah its to him... so we shall see if we actually do get married, only time and God will tell

Summer 2011

Looking at the past internship I served I thought it may be fun to blog my "God spottings"...

I'll start with this summer

I tend to get way ahead of myself and plan everything out and want everything to go my way... Well God kicked my butt to remind me that its not about me but more about Him. Because of this (and yes I know I am using horrid grammar but it is fun :) ) I was able to meet some fabulous people work with people i may not have before and I had a ton of fun being the Assistant Program Director for Jensen Woods.

I also had privilege to serve on a Chrysalis Team this summer. I was able to give a talk... totally scary - something I've never done, and I mean common how do you take me seriously? BUT it was such a God inspiring weekend, getting to know girls, and spending time with people I already knew... even if, everyone is now planning my wedding.... :)

I am super excited at the moment because it looks like I may have an internship this fall and spring, I really hope that I can use this internship for school credit and such like.

Another very big plus in my summer is meeting some fabulous people, that I am adoring spending time with.
