Communication is an interesting thing dont you think... some people are rather good at communicating whether it be feelings or facts they have it down. While others had one or the other. And then some dont have any at all.
Communication is how we connect with people whether its verbal or non verbal. Communication is how we develop and form relationships with others. And since we are made to be a relational species dont you think that communication is highly valuable???
So why is it, that we focus less on our ability to communicate with others properly. Why is is that so many issues come down to the lack or inability to communicate and sadly with those we are closest to.
Maybe we all need to sit back and take a good look in the mirror and tell ourselves what is really going through our minds so we know how to say it to others. Plus if you cannot communicate with people ten inches from you how can you expect to properly communicate with God... just a thought.

changes
Things in my life are changing, rather rapidly in fact.
To name a few:
1. I will graduate December 13, 2008, Lord willing.
a. Which involves taking the Senior Exit Exam, applying for Graduation, and finishing my Senior Cummulative Project.
2. I will be moving into the Champ's house.
3. Working at my first real job as an intern this summer at Youth Villages.
4. I will be taking the GRE.
5. Applying for jobs.
6. Figuring out where I want to live.
7. Figuring out how to work in another confusing factor into the ever changing equation.
I am still in awe that I can seriously graduate in Dec of 2008. I never dreamed that was possible. Though all these things may be minor to you, they have been on my mind, and frankly I have been unable to even process them. When big decisions need to be made, while I usually tend to go with my gut instincts, that does not keep me from serious processing. I don't wanna rush into anything. I want to make sure that the conclusion I come to is in alignment with God's will for me. Sometimes this is a very hard thing to do/know. I finally feel comfortable with graduating early. Though I have NO IDEA what is going to happen from now until then, I am at peace. I know that as long as I stay close to God and continue to seek Him, He will not leave me, and His Spirit will lead me in the direction He knows is best. I just pray I don't fight Him too much, on any matter even if it hurts. He luckily can see the whole picture whereas I can only see so far in front of my face. There are so many things to think about and really worry about, but really I cannot do anything about them now. The only thing I can do is continue on like am, doing the best I can, and taking it all one day at a time. So if you ask me what my plans are, honestly, I don't know. I know that I have goals and hopes of what I want and where I want to be, but truly God will be the judge of all of that, and I will continue to trust/pray and have peace/hope/faith in Him who knows what is best for me and my life. I pray that I will be able to share this all with someone special someday.
So many things to think about, but I won't. That only makes me worry and doubt. Changes are happening around me, to me, and I will go along with the flow holding true to myself and my faith. My Psych. teachers always say, "Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere." So true!
Anyway, I am not sure as to the purpose of this post, but to let everyone(really just my fam since you guys are the only ones that read it!) know what's new in my life. Keep praying, interceding for one another is very important! What's new with everyone else?

drama drama drama
I am sick of drama! Why cant we all just get along? haha if only! The simplest of things always seem to get turned into huge ordeals and I dont know how! oh well..
So the Willow retreat is this weekend and it will prove to be an interesting one to say the least! Luckily I will leaving for part of the day Sat. to go canoeing with the GW group from home and Im so excited about that. Partially because I havent seen or hung out with my parents in a long time. I just feel like I should be there and I really want to be there. I need a break from my life sometimes too! So yeah anyway, maybe I can get someone else to go as well! =)
All in all im sure it will turn out fine, just the days leading up to it all just dont seem worth it and makes me dread the whole thing. But I have faith that it will work out! Should be a busy weekend luckily i dont have a really rough week next week!
Oh and I get to move into the Champ's house(the house where we have all our group activities) in May which I am totally excited about! Its a house rooms are huge, full kitchen, cheap rent. It looks like an old persons house but maybe we can fix that up! =)
Anyway, life is going pretty good overall.... Im so thankful for that! God bless!
