Happiness

This weekend I was Christmas shopping with my mom and was explaining to her how I know so many girls who have everything in the world and yet are not happy. They have everything that money could give them, freedom like no other, and still are not content with their lives.

She answers: That just proves money and temporary things obviously do not make you happy.

Thats so true. I don't understand how people just don't realize that. 

God is the only thing I need in this world.
Blessed.

Reason for the season

What is feeling christmasy anyways? Why do we celebrate and dedicate this whole season to Christmas?

I believe we concentrate on the everything Christmas is not and let everything else pass by. Lights decorating snow presents santa!? What does that have to do with anything. What do those lyrics really mean "oh holy night" and "tidings of comfort and joy".

Saying merry Christmas and going along with your selfish self should not be the way it should be celebrated. The birth of our Savior and the gift gave of salvation. That in itself deserves way more than a lifetime of celebrating.

no more xanga?

Hmmm not sure if I'm going to keep this. I'm still pretty attached to my xanga! But this is waaay easier to use. Maybe I need a new start for blogging (: All my old memories can be kept on xanga. All the way from junior high till freshman year of college! Man does that thing have memories on it. 

First update on life? 

Lets start with school. So my 1st semester of my first year of college is yet to be over. 2 more days of finals, and it feels like I just started school. Biola was better than I thought it ever could be, a thousand times better than high school. My friends are amazing and we are the craziest group of people ever. My professors actually care about what's going on with our lives, and take the time each day just to pray before class. I actually finished my 30 mandatory chapels this semester. What more could I ask for in a school. 

Love life? I'm finally taking a REAL break. Its the first time I'm actually single in  almost 4 years! Chad & I are still friends and we're both fine with that. I miss the past, but its most definitely time for me to move on. Maybe not move on, but put my priorities on more important things than a relationship right now.

Spiritual life, man i gotta get on that. Priorities priorities priorities. Jesus always comes first. Sometimes I need to lay back and re-evaluate how I'm living my life. 

Its Christmas time which means even MORE family time and I couldn't be happier. What else,  we're still the most immature family ever. We spent our thanksgiving in Vegas, that was interesting. I love them.

I should probably get to studying for those finals.

So heres to a new start & a lotta new memories!
