A challenge worth taking

So recently in church we have been talking about what we fill our minds with. One thing that has come up alot is music. Tonight at 180 we really hit hard on "what we put in ourself, is what will come out". Garbage in, garbage out. So then during small groups, alot was said about our unclean worship of music. Now I really don't have terrible music on my ipod, but I definitely have music that is not pleasing to God. I think "What would my parents think if they heard these lyrics", or more importantly "Would God be proud that his daughter was listening to this junk?". I tell myself the music won't affect me, that I just like the beat, but really? What happens when I can't get the lyrics out of my head? I want to be proud, not ashamed of the music I listen to.  I want to please God, and I think by cleaning my itunes of music that is hindering, I can better drawn closer to God.  Stuee said: "How can you expect to truly hear from God, when your life is full of things that are shameful and hurting to Him?", and really that is what I desperately want: to hear from God, and to feel him moving in my life. So I have to take a step. Along with other girls in my small group, I am gradually breaking away from all that hinders me. This doesn't mean I can only listen to Christian music, it just means I need to evaluate everything that goes into my ears. Tonight I deleted around 20 songs. That is my first step, in a challenge that will bring me closer to God. I will begin filling my life with things much more satisfying than the things this world values.

      "Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace."

Test test, 1. 2. 3

Hello everyone, this is a test blog sent directly from my IPhone! :) I am hoping this is going to work so I can use this feature to post from anywhere!! Yippee! Well I am currently at school In the lovely Mrs. Tew's pharmacy tech class!

Okkk so I have to tell this funny story.. Bahha every time I think about it I can not stop laughing! So my friend Kellie asked me if she could borrow an old Ken doll from me for a project, and I said yes. So then today I brought it to school to give to her... Haha, so then at lunch I remembered that I had it in my backpack so I whipped it out!! Omg everyone thought it was so funny that i randommly had this naked Ken doll! The poor doll had no clothes! Bahhaa Everyone at the table was maneuvering the doll into funny positions and waving it over their heads so the whole cafeteria could see it! I was dying laughing... My stomach hurt so bad! Haha to finish it off I left the cafeteria with the doll sticking out the top of my backpack! Ahhhh it was so funny! :D
A picture of me and Ken will be up soon!

The joy of a picture!

This is a picture taken of me at the Pence and Panache fashion show by the hired photographer, Amy Zimwalt! When she emailed us letting us know the status of all the pictures, she sent one small collage of about four pictures, and this picture was included!! Ahhhh, I was ecstatic! :) I can't wait to see more. Great job Amy!

We Are All In This Together.

WOW.
High School Musical is cRaZy! Well not really, but I am worn out! We have opening night on Thursday and the expectations are high. Everyone has been working so hard I just want everything to turn out good... I had never been in a school production before now, and I'm so glad I did. Even though it was stressful at times, I have still had fun, and I think this musical was a great addition to finish out my senior year. I'm just going to sing and dance my nerdy little heart out these next few days and hope I survive! LOL
Come watch us "bop to the top" on: Thursday & Saturday @ 730, and Sunday @ 230 (i think) Tickets are $5.
Wish us luck :)

Fashion Show!

What girl doesn't want to put on a beautiful dress, get all dolled up, be escorted by cute boys, AND get to show he stuff on the runway?? :) Today I was lucky enough to get to participate in a prom fashion trunk show for a designer boutique in Burleson, all thanks to Kellie Scott for inviting me, and Charlotte for hooking us up! We had such a great time! I modeled a short-to-long red and leopard jeweled gown that was edgy and fun, and a purple dress with beading and a "crumb catcher" neckline! Everything was so fast paced, I didn't even have time to be nervous. There were 2 shows to do, so Kellie and I kept ourselves entertained between shows by taking pictures, reading facebook, talking to Kel's mom, and eating chips and grapes from Jason's Deli! Also it was really funny because during the finale (when all the girls come out onto the stage together) Kellie and I did a crowd pleasing "booty bump" showing that we were having FUN! We got some attention for that one  ;) LOL. Also I meet some really sweet girls (when we actually had time to talk!) It was a great experience that I probably won't ever get to do again! I loved it! Pictures will be posted soon! :)

A Late New Years Resolution...

Oh my stars.... I have definitely FAILED at blogging. I don't even remember when my first/last/only post went up and that's depressing! So now I have decided to make it a late new years resolution to try to write on this as much as humanly possible for me... The reason I want to do this is because I want to be able to look back on this time in my life and remember what was going, since basically my life is just now beginning. With graduation, summer and COLLEGE fixing to start, I want to document my experiences and thoughts. So here we go! Let the adventure begin :)
