The End

DIVA's:
It has truly been a great year. I made new friends, re-established relationships with old friends. Increased my GPA. Found some amazing shoes but most of became a better DIVA for Jesus. I love looking back and reflecting on the outfits, the cups of coffee, and the moments spent shopping and laughing. Reflection is for the soul we can look back and then try to improve ourselves. However, I am looking forward to the summer. Going to salons and going to the beach. But most of all Being a DIVA for Jesus in style. I love the new summer fashions!

The Truth

During my time in University I have come to realize what a different person I am than when I started. I have learned so much about God from my time here. I am so glad that i've gone to a christian University so that I can learn topics from a Christ centered point of view. the world is against us Christians, so we should stick together and be prepared to give an answer for our faith. Our classes have taught us to do that. I am so glad that I don't have to sort through non christian ideas, but can always have the word of God and God's truth pointed out to me.

The graduation station please.

In approximately 3 days, I will be an official college graduate. My parents are freaking out about what I will do with myself when I get into the real world, and they wonder if I will make it in this horrid economy. I feel somewhat bad, but I had to stop their worried rant the other night and tell them to chill out. I don't want to live my life in fear of what will be. Sort of like scripture says, do not worry about tomorrow, for today has enough worries of its own. So true! I want to enjoy the last few moments I have of this chapter in life, and I just have to trust that God has something in store for me.

Intro to Theology

As I am studying for one of my finals in an introduction to theology class it came to my attention that most often we have no idea the actual theology that we believe. We are raised in childrens church with such a surface level theology. There is so much I would have never known or understood. My brother goes to a secular state University, and he had an introduction to theology class as well. He was taught the same things. It was so fun to debate him, but then I realized I needed to ask myself the question: is it worth paying so much more money for a "Christian" education when I could take theology classes at a state Univeristy, saving about 10 grand a year??

Left Behind

As this school year is coming to a close, it will be so sad to see everyone go there separate ways, at least for the summer. And to the seniors, I pray that they find success in their new lives and continue living for God. For the rest of us that are left behind, I pray that this summer we all will make good decisions and continue to stay in touch for the months we are apart. It's been a good year everybody. Good luck for the future!

Almost done

Today, in the midst of finals week and everything else that is going on, I wanted to encourage you all to think of how much God has been there for you. Despite the struggles and the confusion, despite the frustration and the "am I going to be able to finish this!!!?" He is there. Reflect, ponder, pray...
You can do it everyone! Only a few days left before graduation!

The Sun is Setting On Twilight

So, I rented the movie "Twilight" and I just about feel asleep half way through it. I am quite puzzled by all of the hype (and the fact that the main characters look just like Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl), and wonder how this became a sensation. Though I have not read the book, I have read all of the hype surrounding the film. That fact that it was praised for "being erotic but not sexual," due to the fact that the author is Mormon and is using moral boundaries. That's great, but that does not mean that it means that the storyline is any good. The fact that this movie is hyped because of its lack of sex shows that Hollywoods exception should be the rule and that way, we are not forced to watch bad movies just because of their morals.
