hmm. This morning was great. I’ve been tenting and it’s been getting in the way of my school work. Because of this, I had thrown my school work on God’s mercy and boy did God work. I was able to complete two homework assignment after coming back from tenting (one that was originally due last week but i was able to turn in late), get some sleep, and get up and go to class this...

Was that supposed to say "with out"? xD

Different kind of challenge
So… it’s official. Starting tomorrow I will be taking the challenge. I will go 30 days without whining, grumbling, complaining, etc. Too often in life we focus on what we think we’re missing, what we think would make our lives better. At times, we overlook the abundance of good in our lives and how God can be/is working in our lives. So I’m hoping, instead, to focus on what...

ramblings
I’ve been a little anxious about God resolving an issue that I’ve been praying about for quite some time. Every time I think I know how it’s going to be resolved, it seems like another curveball appears. Anyways, it finally dawned on me (James 4) that I had been asking God to resolve this situation for the wrong reasons. I wanted a definite resolution— not just because it...
Random post
So I have this jacket that makes me feel pretty chill and pretty. I know that I shouldn’t allow myself to be affected by material things, but it’s true. However, I lost the jacket sometime after getting back to Duke. Perhaps it’s for the best… it now has bittersweet memories attached to it. Maybe someone will find it and wear it and feel chill and pretty in it.

Dos Cosas
Two things. First, I’m considering penning my story about my walk with Christ. Obviously it won’t be the whole story and parts from my future will be left out, but I’m wondering if it may be helpful to some people. hmm.. I may need to pray about this first.
Secondly, have you ever wanted to know something about me? Feel free to either text me or ask me it on here (via ask) and...

– If Sarah Palin Were Black (via azspot)
Just goes to show how far Palin’s whiteness can take her. Zero intellect, two high school drop-outs, an unwed teen mother, a quitter of the one major job she had. Master of hateful coded language targeting opponents as not “real Americans”. Belongs to a church...

Hey hey all,
Soon I’ll be expanding my operations. I’ll be blogging for my SLG in the future. Hopefully that goes well. I’ll send you a link when it’s up.

Using data from Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez, Acemoglu also points out that the dynamics of the wage distribution for the top 1 percent of U.S. income earners look different. As Thomas Philippon and Ariell Reshef have suggested, this group’s sharp increase in earning power appears more related to deregulation of finance...

I want to clarify my stance on heated partisanship:

It Is You Who Will Be Found
I love the movie the Joy Luck Club. It makes my heart break, it liberates me, and it kills me all at the same time. I see my story in theirs and I worry for my future. My concern does not lie in what God wants for me, it lies in the repercussions of what I want for my life. I see the future I want and I worry that it is of a house that “will break into pieces.” I worry that God is...

Melissa Learns to Shout
When they ask me what I did over the break, I want to tell them that I learned to shout. No, I obviously do not mean this in the physical sense. I’m talking about shouting and what it often means and portrays—that final expression of beliefs and thoughts.
First, I’ll have to provide some historical context and I would like to provide a disclaimer saying that I do believe that, as a single mother,...
A List of Buckets
I was originally gonna make this a list to do before I’m 25, but I don’t know what my financial situation will be, so I’ll err on the side of caution and more items and extend it to before I die.

HAHAHA
It’s one of my last days at home and I think I may just stay in today. I know that sounds lame, but I just realized that it may be the last time that I’m at home for the rest of 2011. God willing, I’ll be going to NYC for spring break and I’ll be taking a class over the summer with hopefully an internship filling up the other half of my summer. Since I never go home for fall or Thanksgiving break...
