Live. Laugh. Love.

I think this is going to be my motto for the year. I am going to live like there's no tomorrow, Im going to laugh and try not to let the little things get to me, Im going to love anyone and everyone.

Its hard to beleive it is a new year. And each year, you have expectations as to what you want to do differently, improve on, and whatnot. This is my final year at Ferris, which FREAKS me out. I have a BOARDS and exams and stuff in the future, patient completions, internships, job hunting, relationships, interviews, moving etc. """"I need to study more, I need to start running, etc etc. AHH soo much expectations!""""

SO instead of worrying about the future, i am going to enjoy the present. Live. Laugh. Love.

Life is just too short.

Fire

Last night I slept by the fireplace. Kind of random I know, but i did. Im not entirely sure why I did-not quite as cozy as a bed, but for some reason i did. Its been trying to comprehend why, but i am just not finding a reason...

I woke up with blankets over me, which made me feel so blessed. It probably looked really silly to my parents this morning when they found me sleeping there, but they didnt wake me, or make me move. Im not really sure why..maybe they just werent suprised.

Life on the edge

I love finding old cd's. seriously.

Life on the edge-Eli

I open up my eyes,
To face another day.
I start to struggle,
Who will I obey?
Temptation surrounds me,
Trying to resist.
I may end up winning,
Or end up caving in!

This is life on the edge.
Tell me I'm meant for more than this.
I get closer,
And closer to regret.
Won't someone pull me in,
From living on the edge?

Conviction comes easy,
Never seems to stay.
Avoiding my family,
I wonder what they'd say,
If they knew the endless circles I have run?
Would Mom and Dad still love me,
No matter what I'd done?

So I pray to God,
With nothing left to lose.
But I've spent my heart,
And now I have to choose
Between this madness,
Or a second chance.
The future won't be easy,
But neither was my past!

This is life on the edge.
Yes, I'm meant for more than this.
I move farther, and farther from regret;
And God pulls me in...
This is life on the edge.

Yes, I'm meant for more than this.
I move farther,
And farther from regret.
And God pulls me in,
From livin' on the ledge.




The words speak for themselves...

I once lived on the edge, and God pulls me in. And He will always save me...

SO CLOSE

Wow. i am almost done...4 more finals to go!!!!!! so to take breaks from studying, i have been playing in the snow with my roommates :) Thursday night after my final we walked across the frozen pond and sledded down the hill behind walmart. SO MUCH FUN!! :) And yesterday, i thought going skiing at caberfae was a nice 5 hr study break. :) So now its crunch time and i need to stop finding ways to procrastinate. What do i need at meijers..... hah.

Snow

SNOW DAY!!!!!! :) I love and hate Michigan weather...but for days like this...amazing. I got a ride from my classmate Amy today at 9 and there is sooo much snow. Plows not really happening. I think we woke up to about 6 in on our cars, and while in class=more. haha i had to push Amys car out because we were stuck in the parking lot! haha.

So all my afternoon classes were cancelled, INCLUDING clinic! :) So my patient will just have to come next semester...crazy! I cannot beleive i made it through the semester! So rather than being done w/ class at 9pm, i have the afternoon to clean, take a nap, study, read...etc. Its amazing. So thank God for this snow and the opportunity to relax!!!!

What was I worried about

YAYYY. Today I just completed my last requirement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can BREATHE. well kinda. now i just need to do well on all my exams!! (I never had a pedo patient, so there I still need to take pedo bitewings, but my professors said it was ok. Theres 20 of us in this position. )

BUT I still feel a huge life off my shoulders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank God for giving me the strength and the faith to get it done!

anticipation

But here's my card for the week! "Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord."(psalm 27:14)
