| Wow....Wow.....Wow.....is the only word that seems to come to my mind when i think of how amazingly awesome God is. I have seen him work in so many ways since attending CIU and it is pretty much amazing and refreshing. i have gained friendships that are based on more than just your average stuff that tends to suck me in.
I believe that Satan is a pansey and that he sucks at life. I hate it when you think you have something under control and figured out and he slipps doubt and fear in to slip us up. What a flippin manipulative worm.

| The abis that seems to call itself my lifeOkay...can I just begin with saying that some of the standards are definitely not okay with me. I get so frustrated when I discuss the "holding hands" standard with other people here on campus. My issue is not the intent of the rule but how it is being done. I understand the need and want for a Godly relationship, but how is saying okay you can not hold hands when you date but oh when you get engaged free game off campus. If CIU is raising Godly men and woman then why are we not given the opportunity to be Godly men and woman in our actions. It is such a false allusion. I know for me personally that I have made my standards based on past screw-up and heartache, but for those people who don't know how truly difficult it is to keep a Godly relationship in a sex driven world, they are not being shown the truth. Standards aren't supposed to be their to make it so we sin more, they are imp limited to help us guide our lives. But goodness grashes....why would someone make a standard that isn't allowing for growth? Oh well....I understand that I signed the standards and must abide by them and know that they are more lenient this year than last, but I just get frustrated when we are put even more in a bubble than we should be. This past weekend I went home to get new contacts because I lost one. It was an amazing weekend I got to spend time with Dana (who I have been dating for 5 months) and my best friend Ashley. I struggled greatly (if you can't tell) with not holding Dana's hand. This is not because I was like "oh I want you I need you oh baby oh baby" but because it was an instinct that I had to be like crap no we aren't allowed. It definitely is not a sexual act because I hold hands with my best friend and my brother. But that is okay because I know that God has called me to CIU and I must live by the guidelines I followed, but I don't understand how something as innocent as hold hands can cause me to have children.
On a happier note, I can see!! Yay for contacts!!!

| AHHHHH......The bliss seems to never end! I am lost in a world that seems to not be my own. i have come to realize that no matter how much i don't want CIU to not be a bubble, it is. and that is not reality, which is saddening to me. i want the real world i want the life outside the perimiter of CIU. i love this school and the people, but going home made me realize that CIU life is somewhat not reality. i felt like a stranger that had walked off the streets into a place that i had never seen before. i loved going and seeing Dana. It made my heart happy to spend time with someone that i possibley may spend the rest of my life with. I missed the connection from CIU though. i wanted so much for all the poeple i love and care about here to colide with my wilmington family. the brak overall was very long, but an enjoyable long because i had an escape, Dana and ashley. i have never realzied how much friendships need work. i have realized in the past few months that in order to be a part of someone's life you have to personally look for ways to pug into my friends lives.i don't understand GOd sometimes, well a lot of the time. i want so much to be able to know what my heart is in for, but i can't, and that frustrates me. i have never been so challenged and convicted by the holy spirit than i have since i have come back. all i want to do is just sit and discuss with God how much i have skrewed up and he shouldnt fogive me, but i know that he will and sometimes i feel that i more than don't deserve it. i don't understand how i can have so many emotions, feelings and thoughts running through my body all at once. if you would have told me that i would come to ciu meet amazing life long friends and begin dating and falling for a certain someone i would have told you, you were nuts, but how else can i explain it than God's amazing control and power in my life. ugh my brain is going to explade it isn't fair i shouldn't have to feel all this at once......God be my rock, be my friend, be my lover, and be my hearler. | | |
| If confussion and caose would explain this break that would be amazing. So much yet so little has happened. I have spent time with friends and some time with family. i miss liz, mike, heather, kari, will, jonathan, sarah, and carla. it is so odd going for about a month and a week without seeing the people who i have gtrown to love and consider my best friends. i don't understand how living with people for three months allows you to become attached to their friendship....wow....can we say babble? i found out that will was able to speak at a fca to about a thousand kids....how awesome! i am so proud of ya will! and i heard that lots of fun happend when i was away on thursday...boo.. i am sad i missed it, but i am sure that there will be more times. well i am somewhat tired now and my eyes are having problems....more than usual...trying to focus on a white screen in a black room | | |
