Does anyone ever read my blog anymore? I haven't posted for years and years! Crazy.

Oh dear.

The Power of One

Bono single-handedly charmed, bullied, and morally blackmailed the leaders of the world's richest countries into forgiving $40 billion in debt owed by the poor. The man is a marvel. Its amazing the things that God can do through The Power of One.

Since when did junior high kids become philosophers?

"Don't just journal about life, live life that needs to be journaled." -Allison Hanson- That's so very true. I journal a lot now, but my entire life, the only time I would ever journal was if something interesting was going on. For instance, I have kept all of the journal entries that I wrote during my four trips to Tijuana with the First Presbyterian youth group, the three trips to Westport, the three times I attended high school camp at Calvin Crest, the houseboat trip to Lake Shasta, the first few months of my freshman year of college, the summer I was on staff at Calvin Crest, and the summer I was on staff at Brackenhurst Ministries in Kenya. Granted, the events listed above are the exact experiences that have shaped me into who I am today and they are definitely worthy of remembering. However, the rest of my life, the things that have not been written down, will become just as changing as the experiences that have already been recorded. That's why I've been journaling for the majority of this year.

Attitude by Charles Swindoll

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company ... a church ... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude ... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you ... we are in charge of our Attitudes."

Done and Done

I had my interview for the Intercollegiate College of Nursing this morning! It was fabulous. I knocked 'em dead. In a few short weeks, I'll hear back if I got in.

Quick, do something manly!

Ever since this little kid pointed out the hair that was sticking out of the top of my shirt, I have become self-concious about it.

School Sucks

I don't have any idea if anyone looks at this blog, but I'm going to continue to post as I please. I am all signed up for an interview with the Intercollegiate College of Nursing on April 14th. I am really excited that they are considering me this year as a candidate for admission in the Fall. It would be wonderful to not go to Whitworth next year because its so expensive and I definitely don't deserve to attend such an expensive school. ICN is much cheaper (because its a branch of Washington State University.)

Yes.

Its amazing how much better I feel after spending some time being honest with myself. God is cool. He tends to pull through when I need Him most...and when I need Him least.
