So much to catch up on! November 4, 2008

Okay, so I haven’t written here on wordpress in awhile–not like anyone is missing out on anything, right?! haha. Anyways, school is still school. I’m so ready for Thanksgiving break, better yet CHRISTMAS BREAK. An entire month off from school! :) Definitely can’t wait for that.

I’m still struggling in Chemistry, but I’m really hoping that something works out for me. I’ll probably end up taking it at a community college over the summer anyways just so I can bring my GPA up. It’s so stressful keeping up with my GPA and wondering if it’s as good or better than everyone else’s. I’ve never been that kind of person before so it’s something different.

One of my best friends is getting married in January. WTF? Haha. I know that for one, it is a bit strange simply because she’s only 18 but, I’m so happy for her and it’s just so weird to think that I’m actually getting older. Ouch. There’s only three years left until I’m on my own. Paying for my own stuff….and dare I say it…actually having to work more than 4 hours every two weeks!? Ugh.

Another thing that has gotten brought up is marriage for myself also. Now, for the couple of people that may read this, DONT FREAK. I’m not getting married anytime soon–it’s just been on the table of discussion between Houston and I. We’ve been dating for almost three years, and he’s my best friend and the one person besides God (of course) that I can go and talk to and trust with everything. And, everytime I’ve thought about being married to him I get excited but lately I’ve been getting a little nervous. I just want to know that I’m ready. I definitely know I’m not ready now, and I’m okay with that. Definitely okay with that. But, I’ve been striving so hard to put God first and I’ll be the first to let you knowk that I haven’t always done that. But, marriage is a blessing and gift from God so I’m just being extra cautious that I’m taking the right steps of having a God centered relationship before I think about anything else.
I don’t really know what all I’m trying to say. I guess I’m just trying to vent a little and get all this “stuff” off my chest.

Anyways, I could write a lot more. But I’ll save that for another day. I have to get back to homework and studying…the story of my life.

God Bless! …and to those of you who read this or stumble across my blog please pray that I can find peace in my life. I need to relax…that would help my day to day life so much more. haha.

 

peace&love.

    Hey Ashley, Have yiou listened to any of Bob sermons on the CRAZY 4 LOVE series? Take a listen to it, and see some things he talks about in Marriage. Make sure when the time is right, you apply them to yours. I know my wife and I struggle, and there were times we even thought of just giving up, but we always worked things out. Good luck with finals (coming soon) and I’m praying for you and all the other young folks out there going through the times right now. It seems a lot different now, then when i was growing up, and making some of those big decisions myself.

    I haven’t been able to make it to the services, but that’s a good idea :) I’ll try and get some CD’s to bring back to school. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers :)
