I've been learning lately that God's will isn't some mysterious plan that we have to desperately search out and agonize over every life choice we make. (Ephesians 1:8-9 “… In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed.”)
It doesn't really matter what we do in our lives (who we marry, what school to go to, what job to take, what to buy...), all He wants for us is to love Him (by keeping his commands) and to love others. He wants us to become like Him, and it doesn't really matter what our job description is. (1 Thessalonians 4:1,3 “Finally then, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us instruction as to how you out to walk and please God, that you excel still more… For this is the will of God, your sanctification.”)
I didn't feel "called" to work at the restaurant or to choose the schools I did... I just did it. Did I miss out on "God's plan for my life" by going to Belhaven instead of somewhere else? Why wouldn't He want us to do things we enjoy doing and are good at? Why are we afraid that God won’t want us to do something that we want to do? Why wouldn’t He want us to be happy? It’s a freeing thing to learn.
“God hasn’t called us to put ourselves through the misery of over-spiritualizing every decision. As you aim to please Him, let God be mysterious without insisting that every decision you make has to be infused with mind-boggling mystery. Move forward by focusing on who God is rather than delaying and demanding that He first assure you that His plan for your life is risk-free and hurt-free.
Step out in faith rather than waiting for “signs” or impressions to confirm what God wants you to do. You should never take instances of special revelation and make them normative for our Christian experience today unless God tells us to expect that.
Be filled with the Holy Spirit and immerse yourself in the word of God. His guidance is less specific and empirical and more personal and transformational. His will is for us to become mature men and women of God! We have to rely on His word, being renewed by it, pray, and step out trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us.” (church bulletin)
I do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know the hope of His calling, the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe… that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to the fullness of God. (Ephesians 1:16-19, 3:14-19)

So right now I'm working on this statement of purpose for an internship... what, can't you tell?! Okay so maybe I told myself if I got this out of the way I could be more focused on that. We'll see. :-P
Also, I've been playing piano a little bit the past couple days and I like it! Well... I wish the piano was in the house cuz then I'd probably play more, which would let me practice the songs I wanna relearn, and then I would actually sound good! :-D (Those 10 years of lessons haven't completely gone to waste!)
I'm gonna sign up today to take the GRE, hopefully in the next week and a half (before we go to MI the second weekend in October!). Yikes. I feel like I'm not ready, but I don't think I'll ever be. So we'll see what happens...
It's been cooler the past few days (well, since yesterday really) but I'm loving it so far! I'm ready for fall. Big blankets, jeans and sweatshirts, hot chocolate, preparing for winter! Yay!
Okay... I guess I'll get back to working on this thing. I wanna have it done so I can apply either the end of this week or the beginning of next so my references will have enough time to send in their letters before the deadline of the 15th. Yikes!
Much love!

Exposing my thoughts to the world...
Yikes! :-P An-y-ways... I just have random things to say tonight.
1. I was gonna write a post after vacation talking about life and wondering what everyone will be doing in a year from now and blah blah blah... but I didn't, so that doesn't interest me as much anymore. :-P Except to say this, you are in control of your destiny and if you're unsatisfied with where you are in life...I believe you can change it if you try. I certainly am!
B. On vacation I got to go to the Hudsonville fair a lot! If you're unaware, I did 4-H for a few years in highschool with my goaty goat Aud and it was so much fun. Staying there all week to get ready for the show and hanging out with friends and going to the other livestock shows... good times! I got to go pretty much twice a day for 3 days... a couple chore runs with Mrs. N and Marie, the two days of goat show, and catching the end of Supershowmanship and hanging out the last night. It was kind of weird going back... there were a lot of new people I didn't know and most of my crowd has been long gone... but there were a few people around I recognized. With them it was like I'd never been gone haha... "Oh hey you're here, how's it going?" It was really great spending time there, everything was basically the same as when I used to show (except for the 2 day goat show... I liked it all in one day better). But I'm kinda glad I didn't have to be there... I think I've moved on from that phase of life... but Laura and I talked about starting a 4-H club in many years if I move back up there and have a family. :-D
3. I love the beach! Drew and I went one afternoon and it was so nice. The sun and sand was hot and the water was refreshingly cool. However I seem to have gotten no color from the sun whatsoever, and we laid out there for about an hour. Oh well! At least I didn't get too much sun! I can't really remember the last time I really got sunburn though. Weird.
D. WAKE UP LISA, I'M TYPING THIS FOR YOU. Drew, if you're reading this you might want to skip over the next part. Or not, but you've been warned. :-P
5. Last night I was watching Say Yes to the Dress and on the commercials I was flipping to this show on BBC America entitled My Small Breasts and I. The title is a bit self-explanatory and it highlighted three women (in England) and their struggles with their bodies. One was afraid to even leave the house. At the end though only one of the women tried to change the way she looked (... you probably don't want to know how). Another did this phototherapy session (which actually sounds like a really cool technique for women with body image issues) and gained the confidence she lacked. The other considered implant surgery but after she openly talked about the way she looked with people she didn't feel the need anymore. Anyways it just struck me the lengths women would go to to make themselves more attractive to men and how it affects their self-images since I've never really had that particular issue *ahem*.
F. Drew, you can keep reading now. :-P
7. I've started reading this series by Lynn Austin called The Chronicles of the Kings. It's fiction based on King Hezekiah's reign (2 Chron. 29, among other places). Now... I'm wary of fiction based on the Bible but I really like these books. They're well written and as far as I can tell, pretty Biblically accurate. It's really cool because it really gives a new perspective and personalizes the things that happened during that time. It's one thing to read in the Bible about the cleansing of the temple and ridding the country of idolatry and preparing for invasions and everything... but sometimes it doesn't really sink in that these were people with struggles and doubts and lives and really the magnitude of what they had to accomplish. It also puts some of the prophesies of Isaiah and Hosea into a context (not sure if it's the exact contexts...) that really makes them real and really shows that they were people to listen to, because what they (well, really God) said was gonna happen!
H. Sometimes I just need to stop talking and trying to fix things and just give it all up to God! He's the only one who can change our hearts if we let Him.
9. Also, I'm halfway through the first season of Alias and I like it so far... it's interesting especially because she's a double agent along with her father... and crazy things just happen!
I. This has just been the weekend of weird eye-imagery... Elizabeth texted me a sentence in her book... "His eyes were the shade of blue on the Windows 95 screen." (Somehow I missed that when I read that book! haha...) and then today in my book I read "He slammed his eyes shut." I don't even wanna know how that works. :-P
I think that's everything of interest I had to say. You can go to bed now Lisa. :-D

random thoughts... you know how it goes.
Yesterday I read this book I got from the library; "Courting Trouble" by Deeanne Gist. (I'm a fast reader :-P ) It's about this 30-year-old woman named Essie living in Texas in the late 1800s and she's desperate for a husband. First she schemes to hitch herself up with one man, but he got married to someone else suddenly and then was smitten with a drifter cowboy who used her and then skipped town. It was a good story, and perhaps the first book I've read that ends not with her marriage (like most Christian fiction romances) but with her coming to the realization that she does not need a husband to become complete and that Christ would (and should!) become everything to her. I think I also read something similar to this a few years ago in the book "Captivating" by Staci Eldrege (I can't exactly remember though... stupid library doesn't have it.)
This is significant in that it's a realization I consciously came to maybe about a year and a half ago and I'd like to share that with you. I don't think I've ever been as desperate as Essie was to find a husband, but it's something I would like. My second semester at school (well, at Belhaven) the RUF large group theme was about relationships. Towards the end of the semester Chad talked about the gift of singleness, using the last half of 1 Corinthians 7. I don't think I've ever taken as many notes at RUF. I'll list some of the main points, because it'll be easier than me trying to explain my random thoughts.
* The new humanity demands we repent of our idolatry- God is concerned with the heart. Why do you want to get married? Idolatry is not cured by marriage, you will always be wanting more unless you are fulfilled by
Christ.
* Marriage is a gift, but so is singleness. Our real wealth is in God and Christ is the only spouse that can fulfill us. Jesus is enough! He can equip you for either calling.
* We should be pursuing people and relationships: to encourage, to learn communication, to be social, to open God's leading to wherever He calls us, to avoid idols of independence and self-fulfillment.
Coming to that realization had quite the impact on me. It felt good to be aware of the fact that I don't need to have a boyfriend or a husband, and if I never do then I know I'll be fine with that. It also helped me come to terms with some things that have happened with me and guys in the past, and that's been wonderful. I've got Jesus and He's actually better than any other guy I know. He loves and understands me completely.
Do I feel this way all the time? No. I forget maybe a couple times a day. Do I have to frequently remind myself that I'm fine without a man? Yes. Do I always feel close to Jesus? No. Could I do better? Always. But it's comforting to know.
Oh... and in the sequel, Essie got her man. But I feel that's beside the point. ;-)
Oh... and in response to the facebook poll I conducted about 2 months ago, I think guys and girls can be good friends. As to how close emotionally you should get and the romance involved... I think that's different for everyone I guess. I'm thankful for the times I've been blessed with close friendships with guys.

Newness
Hey look, new name, new layout, new post! It's like a miracle!
Hopefully this will inspire me to blog more often and with substance. Doesn't that sound exciting?! I'm getting pretty fed up with people complaining about their lives on xanga every day. (I'm pretty sure none of my xanga friends read this... O:-) ) So anyways, that's that!

Vacation part 2
So I was gonna write a post about the boundaries of guy/girl relationships cuz I've had a few conversations about it this week and spent some time thinking about it last night... but I've since lost my steam since I didn't write it down at the time cuz Jenna had my computer and I fell asleep. 
Plus it's kind of boring and unresolvable and different for everyone I think.
Instead I'll recap the next section of my vacation! On Wednesday we went to the N's grandma's house and it was delightful! Laura and I took a long walk in the woods looking for mushrooms. It was a lovely day! We sat by a little brook that went into the pond. What else happened on Wednesday? That may have been the night when Mich and Kendra and I went to the hockey game, which was interesting. Thursday I had lunch with Laura at Panera! We had a good time to talk.
Thennnnn OH I hung out with Drew, first at Helder Park then Timber Town to swing on the swings! I'm not ashamed to say I was very excited to play at the park. Then we had movie night at Jen and Andrew's. We watched The Italian Job and the season finale of BOOONESSSS! and then some Friends. 
Today we went to the chiro and he said (among other things) that my finger problem is probably a cyst and the best way to get rid of it is to smash it. 
Sooooo yeahhhh maybe I won't be going back there... *mwahahahaha* Actually I probably will. Unless we can find another (less painful) way of removal. 
Then Na and Mich and I went to the mall and I bought a reed diffuser of heirloom rose at Pottery Barn! It smells wonderful! This afternoon I hug out at the D's and chatted with Laura and her mom for a bit... good times! I stopped at the B's on the way home and saw the farm and had pizza for dinner! Now I'm at Lisa's house and we're watching Friends! The way things should be.

Yeeeah vacation! I do heart Michigan. When we got here we went right away to Mummy's band concert. Somehow we were late, though we got there on time. Oh well! It was fun, we even brought her flowers! Then we did some casual hanging out at the ice cream place and then the N's eating Mom's rhubarb crisp! Oh yeah! Today Lisa and I just hung out all day... watched some things on Hulu this morning, Panera for lunch, Meijer for white chocolate covered pretzels and browsing, home for naptime and more hulu, some errands then we went to the N's just in time for dinner! Jenna and Mich made a gourmet dinner of portobella raviolli, which was actually delicious and I don't even like mushrooms! Now we have big plans to watch NCIS and Glee! :wave: Hehe. Tomorrow I'm going with the N ladies to their grandma's which will surely be lovely! Thursday... there are no plans until a movie night. Friday... chiropractor and maybe Laura D then Saturday home! Good times man!

"Everyone knows I'm in over my head..."
I've bought new music lately and I like it.
Over My Head- The Fray
I Gotta Feeling- Black Eyed Peas
Two is Better than One- Boys Like Girls
I Will Rise- Chris Tomlin
Love Has Come- Mark Shultz
Smile- Uncle Kracker
So... first of all, I don't know why I'm posting this here when I have xanga... though, this is kinda cooler than xanga. :-P It's soooo beautiful today... I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt! Yeah! I wish I could go lay in the sun... but I guess I forgot to bring an extra towel down with me and the grass is muddy. Oh well. Even though school's not out yet I feel quite relaxed this afternoon (1)... I was gonna take a nap but of course I decided not to. After lit this morning I did my online Spanish homework instead of going to bio club (2) and then I took my foreign policy test and then went to Mary's room for a bit while she was getting ready for the day. I guess there was time for a nap this afternoon (which is why I did my hw earlier) but once I get around to it I never want to (3). Oh well! So I watched some Bones and worked on this application a little (4)... RUF small group in half an hour (5). Now for a breakdown of the tangents I thought of while I was saying all that... :-P
1. Hopefully not too relaxed... I still have 2 classes, a test, and work tomorrow before I'm really on vacation!
2. I'm a bad bio club member... I've skipped the past 2 weeks. Of course, I have no knowledge of biology or most sciences so I mostly go to support and see my awesome bio friends!
3. a. Tuesday I was up until 2:30am talking to a friend... it was a good conversation. But since I usually go to bed around 12 it was quite late... and I start to say crazy things!
3. b. Last night I was up until 1:30am... was at Gillespie until around 12:30 then had to get ready for bed and then the tornado sirens went off... watched the weather to make sure we wouldn't die. I guess the storms fizzled out before they got here.
4. I'm working on applying for an MTW internship this summer or fall... yikes! I think it's something I want to do and it would be a great experience. The application is about 15 pages long though and very in-depth and intimidating!
5. I. love. small group! There are about 5-8 of us and we've gotten pretty close over the semester. It's really just a wonderful time!
In other news, I did more discussing and investigating this week and I think I might try applying to grad school at U of KY not this fall but next. Dr. Busbee said there would be more options for better jobs with a higher degree... plus it's less expensive and I could live at home. I just need a break first! So we'll see.
Aaaaand I'm going home for spring break on Saturday! Yesssss.

musings
By the way, I think only like three people read this. Hey Em, E, and Anniebelle!
So Anna got me addicted to Bones... so I've been doing a lot of that lately. Also, working on my afghan. I've finished like 3 strips this semester! Woah now.
Next week I'm gonna talk to my advisor about careers and stuff cuz I have to start looking. Rats.
Also, the past week or so has been so. cold. Not fun.
So the past couple weeks have been weird... I have no motivation to do anything (probably hence the Bones) and I don't want to talk to anyone and I'm not happy. I might be mildly depressed.
So Anna got me addicted to Bones... so I've been doing a lot of that lately. Also, working on my afghan. I've finished like 3 strips this semester! Woah now.
Next week I'm gonna talk to my advisor about careers and stuff cuz I have to start looking. Rats.

Post of the New Year!
... Um, it's almost February. An-y-ways...!
I actually don't have much to say, because my life is pretty boring. Also, my fingers have shrunk and this ring keeps twisting around and falling off. Sad day! I need a new one. Michelle gave me one last year and this year for Christmas but they're too big too. Today I have to remember to do my spanish homework and go to the RUF girl's small group. And work on my powerpoint about Moliere. We saw a clip in class today that was like a movie about him, and it was kind of scary. On many levels. An-y-ways, I think my peanut noodles are done and I shall enjoy them with this week's episode of NCIS, which took itunes all night to download. Tada! Bye.
