survival or success

Are you living your life like you're trying to survive or like you already have success?

Waiting for the End

What was left when that fire was gone
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it’s like moving on

And I don’t even know what kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
Picking up those pieces now where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again

James 1

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." - James 1:2-4

I read this the other day and was reminded that no matter where I am in life, God is near. It is never just up to us, he supplies strength to get through anything. Of course, we never can totally rely on our strength and we can never expect God to do everything without us doing our part. We can have a smile on our heart knowing that if we our for a good cause and act on that belief, we will have good consequences. (...all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28)
With college I may have "trials" to go through, but I know its for the best!

Labor Day twenty ten

On Labor, a group of 14 of us students and Mr and Mrs Miles( the student affairs director) took a lil trip. We went hiking, exploring and shopping, stopping by Ceasar Creek State Park Dam, Waynesville and the Prime Outlets



We watched this monarch at the park fly for its first time ever!

Time

"We wait for the sun to move from east to west or for the hour hand to move around the face of the clock, but God is not compelled so to wait. For Him everything that will happen has already happened." - Tozer
