About Me

My life is not my own, for I belong to Christ.

It is because of God's grace and for His glory that I "live and move and have my being."

I am currently back in Indiana, studying English Education at Purdue University, far from the home I've come to know and love in Victoria, Australia

My family means the world to me.

Living in America and loving in Australia, I am blessed indeed. Complete Profile

      After reading James Faris's Blog, I've been thinking a lot about what I talk about, write about, and mostly, post on my blog about. So, I'm going to be more careful in the future...

      The most important thing in my life should be my walk with God. And my true friends will really be interested in that more than anything else. So, I'm going to try to make God more the focus of my blog. That way even things like what I'm doing this summer or what happened in my day (et cetera et cetera) will reflect and point to Him no matter what...or at least they should. (If that makes any sense.)

      I've sort of been struggling with the issue of gossip lately. It's so easy to tell myself that I'm only telling my friend something because "I want their opinion" or "they should know". But when I truely think about the motive for my words, I realize I just want something "interesting" to talk about. It's not edifying to other's and it's not pleasing to God. I always know that in the back of my mind, but it's always a good thing to remind myself.

      I think I did pretty well on my Biology test today. I was a little worried last night, but I got up early to study. By the time I got to class, I was pretty confident that I knew everything I needed to know. It was my very last Biology test EVER and I really wanted to do well on it. Except for the fact that I got sick (sore throat - about to lose it, and runny/stuffed up nose), m y day was alright. We were planning on having some of the Shopp's over for dinner tonight, but they decided not to come due to the fact that several of us have this cold thing. They wouldn't normally mind, but Mr. Shopp just had a kidney transplant (which most of you know about) and they can't afford seeing him with teh extra germs.

      Well, I can't think of much else to put here...everything I would have probably put before seems pointless now. It's kind of hard to think of a subject of value to update about...at least one that has to do with my everyday life. I guess that's a bad thing. I'll definitely try to work on that.

      Have a wonderful day, everyone!!

      Verse of the post~Mark 14:38
      "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.
      The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

      Edit: Should the music one listens to ALWAYS reflect their worldview?
