life after facebook

it exists! it really does!

after a week-long study i have discovered that not only does it exist, but that friendships become more dear, too. for example: phone calls and texting and get this: ACTUALLY MEETING UP FOR COFFEE. all of these things and more happen once that distraction is taken away. not to say every single person should do away with facebook, for much good can come from it. but, much wasted time can come of it, as well. if you are a college student i would really encourage you to step away from it for a while. just think about what you are doing? is there any profit in wasting forty-five minutes every single day? probably not. it may not be right for you to all together get rid of it, however i think it is safe to say that we all could manage our time better. this is absolutely true in my life. the Lord really laid it on my heart to examine my time and how i spend it, even in the tiny areas we think do not matter. all of a sudden i was prompted to delete my facebook (yes, this is true- i decided to listen to Him the first time around!), and i am left wondering why i did not make this move so much sooner. instead of looking at pictures of my friends i can call them and even see their face! life is good and God is good and He has provided an opportunity to be where i am and and to be (heavily) involved in writing-intensive classes and i owe it to Him and my parents and my professors and myself to make the most of my time. at the end of the day i am in the Word, not stuck on some silly website.

try it out. just saying.

happy monday!

i love you all,

i have been looking at the same screen for over two hours now, and still my silly little response is not even half finished.

the best part of it all?

it should only take me twenty minutes, max.

on His glory:

"then i turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning i saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a Son of Man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around His chest. the hairs of His head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame on fire, His feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters. in His right hand He held seven stars, from His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full strength. when i saw Him, i fell at His feet as though dead. but He laid His right hand on me saying, 'fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.'"

-revelation 1:12-18

what a beautiful God there must be.

currently:

*sipping good earth tea (second time on this bag)

*editing the grammar in my short story that is due tomorrow

*listening to the format

*drinking so much water that it is ridiculous

*making a list of things in my head i would rather be doing

*coming to terms with the fact that i will be up until at least 2 am (especially if i keep this blogging thing up)

*realizing i really do love school and studying more than most other things (forget the complaints listed above)

*oh, and struggling with spelling because i have seen way too many words in the past week

*eagerly anticipating the weekend where i get to meet up with old friends, work, study nonstop, worship and attend a wonderful church (saturday night church is the best idea ever, fyi), and sip more good earth tea because i am what they call obsessed

*who are "they", anyway?

*i just discovered 'anyways' is not a word! it's 'anyway' --why did my teachers never inform me of this?!?! gladiknowthetruthnow.

i love you all.

love,

m.

go hard.

matthew 13:44-46-"the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all he had and bought it."

"if the Cross don't move me than i don't want to breathe no more."

go away, winter.

Spring is the Period
Express from God.
Among the other seasons
Himself abide,


But during March and April
None stir abroad
Without a cordial interview
With God.

-Emily Dickinson
