"Perfect love casts out all fear."--1 John 4:18 This verse has become the basis of my reality. I've started to believe that love is the foundation of everything. If love is not the basis of your relationships they will fail, because love is God and God is love. They are the same! Love conquers all. Love never fails. Love always persaveres. You are made in love and therefore are a conqueror of everything. God has made us conquerors. God has made us in love. He has cleansed us in love. He loves us in love. He has given us freedom through love. "If love is not your foundation, you will be performing the rest of your life."--Ponder that for a second. It's pretty powerful!!!

Savvy

Since I have come to college I've found that I have NO time management at all. This is something I should have learned while in sports and other activities at school...but, as always, I put everything off until the last minute. Then I find myself feeling exhausted and I still do not do what I should. I usually spend myself on Facebook, and now I think I'll find myself on here, on my blog.... One project for school that I've been putting off doing is my "Savvy" project for my children's literature class. My professor gave me this project weeks ago so we would have time to think about it and plan for it; it's due monday! :-/ I've been having the hardest time doing this. I guess it may be because I don't know who I really am. I don't know what I'm good at. I'm always so focused on my weaknesses and I don't know my strengths....I'm still in the midst of finding that out. Ever since I can remember I have described myself as an athlete, a daughter, a sister, a PAL, a girlfriend; and now, I am only two of those things, a daughter and a sister. I have always defined who I am by what I did, and not really known who I am and how God sees me. This is something I've been struggling with...knowing who I am, without defining myself as something. I know that God loves me, and that love never wavers, so I should see myself as a child of God, and that is all I need. But, it is hard to remember that. I guess that is part of going to college and growing up. You have to figure out who you are....

Dreams are Cray Cray!

Last night I had a very weird dream! It was based in the 1800s, I think. There were three groups fighting: the Indians, African Americans, and white people. We all lined up to in a line of four, straight across, like we were going to have a shoot out. Since I was a stud shooter, I never got killed or shot by anyone. Then I had to match up against my friend Sam, and I really did not want to shoot him. Next thing I hear a gunshot and Sam disappears. I was very upset and couldn't find Sam anywhere. Then all of a sudden he appeared out of no where, and he was ALIVE! I was so happy I started crying. But, he was limping...I asked him what was wrong and he said that I had shot his middle toe off! I felt horrible! Needless to say, it was the weirdest dream I have had in a while.
