*phew*

So I just registered for my Spring semester classes, and I did not slit my wrists, so thank God for that, lol.
(Disclaimer: To anyone who might stumble across this blog, no I am not suicidal, I just go to Georgia Tech.)

Why is such a high stress situation? Well the Christian answer is that it's because I'm not relying on God enough. Not to say that that isn't what the answer is in general, but it's a bit deeper. With next semester I will for the first time be taking a majority major classes (classes for my major), contrastive to the general prerequisites I have been taking, so it kind of freaks me out. Also, something I realized today in Tuesday prayer is that I'm scared to specialize in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). I feel like I would loose all of my creativity and only talk in terms of derivatives, and loads. God was telling me, though, having a higher understanding of the world around me won't separate from Him, but rather give me a glimpse of who God is from a whole other viewpoint. I guess I never realized that before Newton, Jacob, and all the other mathematicians and physicists there was God who created it all. So learning all of this stuff is like reading my Bible, I get to see who God is and what He has done.
Ah, I see now how I can worship God in my classes.

Oh yea. I am an African-American female, and I voted for John McCain. Whether he wins or not is not up to me, it will be according to the will of God. And no matter who the president turns out to be, I will pray for him, because he will the leader that God has put in place for His glory.

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend...

"Which To Bury; Us Or The Hatchet"

I think you know what I'm getting at
I find it so upsetting that
the memories that you select you keep the bad but the good you just forget

and even though I'm angry I can still say
I know my heart will break the day
when you peel out and drive away
I can't believe this happened

And all this time I never thought
that all we had would be all for naught

No, I don't hate you
don't want to fight you
know I'll always love you
but right now I just don't like you
No, I don't hate you
don't want to fight you
know I'll always love you
but right now I just don't like you
cause you took this too far

Make your decision and don't you dare think twice
go with your instincts along with some bad advice
this didn't turn out the way I thought it would at all
you blame me but some of this is still your fault

I tried to move you, but you just wouldn't budge
I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge
I think you know what I'm getting at
you said goodbye and I just don't want you regretting that

and wisdom always chooses
these black eyes and these bruises
over the heartache that they say
never completely goes away
(I just can't believe this happened
and one day we'll see this come around)

what happened to us
i heard that it's me we should blame
what happened to us
why didn't you stop me from turning out this way
and know that I don't hate you
and know that I don't want to fight you
and know that I'll always love you
but right now I just don't...

Here goes

I just wanted to post a picture. I really like this one too. I went to Fern Bank with my sister, and there was a rose garden outside. It was interesting, the coolest pictures were the ones with tiny creatures in them, though there were only two incidences, this one, and one with the spider. The spider was cool, it just chilled on this one white rose while we photographed it, but this bee? Oh man, it was impossible, we had to chase it down the row, lol. She paid no attention to the fact that my sister and I wanted to take her picture. We got her, though, by way of miracle, because as soon as I snapped the picture she had moved on.
I just love the colors :)

HALLELUJAH!!!

All praise to Him who reigns above
In majesty supreme
Who gave His Son from heaven to die
That He might all redeem

Blessed be the name
Blessed be the name
Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be the name
Blessed be the name
Blessed be the name of the Lord


God is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!

P.S. I didn't write the previous, it's a hymn :)

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 FINAL DOWN, 3 MORE TO GO!!!

God, You're going to ROCK this summer out, aren't You?
I can't wait :-D

Withdrawal...

No Facebook, AIM, or Yahoo messenger. Or Myspace anymore, I figured I was cheating by reverting to it to satiate my appetite for social networking on my computer. I know it's for the best God, but man! Growth hurts :)
1 week down, 3 more to go. Help me stay strong, Lord, and help my friends to understand that I love them, but I've got to do this.

Hahahahahaha

Um, nothing is really funny. I just felt like laughing. I do that sometimes, you know, random stuff. And then people look at me funny, and I laugh because they are taking things way to seriously

It's been raining, w00t! God know we need any rain we can get. I'm just happy for the flowers. I really, really love flowers. They're just so beautiful. I should go to the Botanical Gardens, that would be awesome.

But I go now, I should be studying for a physics test (So fun :D ).
