So by request of Ana I will update this whole live journal thing ( Read more... )

Although I am taking a summer class first semester I feel like I have two weeks until my farewell to Grand Valley. To be honest, I couldn’t be happier and unfortunately my feelings are mainly bitter the longer I am here. It takes everything in me to leave here with a bitterSWEET feeling. It amazes me how the bad things can out weigh the good and ( Read more... )

I have to say that although I loved spending my first two college spring breaks with the rowing team in Louisiana (I didn’t even get a spring break last year) going on something completely unorganized was a blast. I knew going on a cycling trip in the mountains without the proper gear and with no other girls to back me up wasn’t going to be the ( Read more... )

So I am so thankful that someone who I really trusts judgment opened my eyes to something last week. I’ve been doing some thinking over the weekend and I realize they’re right. I’m going to graduate with a general education degree before I just embarrass myself by flunking out of college all together or having to retake anymore classes. James and I ( Read more... )

So I should be doing physiology right now but I just got out of church and wanted to write my thoughts down. There is this guy joined the Mars Hill community from triple X church. It's a group of Christians who go to porn shows, set up a booth and try to bring porn stars to God. What a concept huh? J Anyways, this guy is moving from Cali to Grand ( Read more... )

I just got back last night from my reserve weekend and for some reason one of the most fun weekends that I have had in a long time. I didn't have to work on Friday so James and I met up at his hotel around 3 on Friday afternoon. We just lounged around and ordered some fantastic food from Famous Daves. Then we went to bed around 8, I got up and did ( Read more... )

So this semester has so far made me so indifferent about my feelings. I am very excited to think about the possibility of moving onto a new phase of my life in Cincinnati. Last week I was sure I didn't want to be here. After a rather disastrous incident and a week full of loneliness I was ready to pack up then and leave. This week has been better ( Read more... )

Soo...in the past year I think just about anything that could have changed in my life did. Not that it's a bad thing but it's just change and it takes adjusting. I think my emotions are still trying to catch up ( Read more... )

SO once again I was at Mars Hill last night and I got there about 25 minutes early. So I walked around for a bit and then sat down and watched people, not in a weird stalker way. :-) There are so many different types of people that are at church. It's easy to forget that there are hundreds of lives coming together in a small room for hundreds of ( Read more... )

Updating thing this after a visit to Mars Hill seems to be a common trend for me. That church is just so amazing and evertime I leave there I feel even more impacted. Today Rob was talking about statistics in Grand Rapids and in MI. Michigan has the highest unimployment rate in the US. In Kentwood alone one in ten people will have problems sometime ( Read more... )
