My family has made me very well aware of the fact that they don’t approve with the new direction that I see my life going. I’m hoping to go into Counseling (and/or becoming a Psychologist). When I expressed this to my parents (separately), they both (for all intents and purposes) made comparisons of that career to that of prostitution and/or custodial work. (Clarifying my position on...

Me: What light?

I remember a time when being alone in the apartment I shared with a boyfriend induced a panic attack and tears. Days after I had kicked him out my sister came over to have lunch. After eating, bitching and listening when she had to go I remember saying, “Please don’t leave.” in a voice so pitiful…

Met with Summit Peeps
So…..
I took Mitch’s advice and met with some of the higher ups at Summit to talk about how some of the past sermons have made me feel. It felt incredibly empowering to actually voice my feelings. I’ve spent most of my life keeping things inside, it felt great to actually confront someone about something.
I feel a little better following said conversation, but I’m still...

A Simple Metaphor with not so simple implications:
perfectlyorderedchaos:
Sometimes I wonder if Satan has to work nearly as hard anymore when it comes to keeping people away from a relationship with God. Actually, I’m pretty much of the belief that no, he really doesn’t- and not for the reasons that would typically come to mind. The average answer from an older Christian that you might receive may be somewhere along the lines of “well, sin is...

Baby, you're not lost
“Cause you are not alone
I’m always there with you
And we’ll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
Cause when you feel like you’re done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you’re not lost.”
I always picture God singing this to me and, tonight, I wish I could do the same for you. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers.

So, You win on this one, God. I really need to trust in God’s timing because there’s so much more going on than I realize. I’m not going to talk about it here on Tumblr and depending upon who you are, I may not go into details about it in person either. (You should definitely try and ask, though). I guess I know that that was from God because what I heard matched up exactly with...

…I haven’t slept more than 2 hours for the past 3 days. You’d think that I’d be tired. You’d think… Anyways, I’m wide awake and finally finished with everything. (I guess that offically makes me a second semester senior. That’s a super-scary thought).

Frustrated. Feeling confused. Not sure what I’m supposed to be learning from this. Prayer requested for this entire situation (and for resolution… finally).
I can’t focus on doing this stupid final. I hate unresolved situations.

I’ll be writing about these more in depth after my finals or when I can’t hold it in anymore, but I needed to get something out.

Ah, so I was asked to write this post on the IV Dialogue Series Tumblr, about the brouhaha that has erupted over the Chronicle article dealing with the PiKap party with a Thanksgiving theme of “Pilgrims and Indians”. Which if you haven’t read yet is http://dukechronicle.com/article/pi-kapp-party-fuels-anger here. It was picked up on Jezebel soon afterwards....
