| So, like always, it has been forever.
Shocker.
I've had a pretty interesting life since i last posted, but i'm not going to go through all that. just the basics.
went home. got my realtor's license. became an RA at school. came back. here i am.
obviously i have been blessed far more than just that these past few months, but those are the big things.
I've been thinking alot lately about the power of friendships. What does it mean to be a good friend? A proverbs 17 17 kind of friend...Sometimes i feel like i put out so much effort to be a good friend to someone, but it is hardly reciprocated. So are my efforts in vain? Am i trying too hard? I just try and think of how I would want someone to act toward me if the situation was reversed.... it always seems to leave me hung out to dry though.
I do have good friends, they are just rare.
And who says i'm a good friend anyways? Maybe I suck. maybe the problem isnt that i'm too good of a friend, but maybe it just is that i honestly am not a good friend, no matter how hard i try???
thoughts??? | | |
| So I'm sitting here in the apartment doing homework and listening to music when I had on of those moments. You know... the ones where you just kind of feel God tap you on the shoulder and talk to you about something. I'm here listening to 4 CDs on random shuffle in the sound system that my apartment mates have upstairs. They are Taylor Swift, Fergie, Chicago soundtrack, and Hillsong United. The thought crossed my head when i was listening to "The Stand" from Hillsong one moment then the next song was "London Bridge" by Fergie. I do this often, listen to music on shuffle that is.... but this time i thought about what is said in the book of revelation about being a lukewarm Christian. Does listening to alot of different styles of music make me a lukewarm Christian? God knows my heart. He knows I love him and do my best to live my life for him. Then I thought about the passage (forget where) that Paul says we are no longer under the curse of the law, that we are saved by Grace and Grace alone.I know this doesnt excuse actions, that i still need to live my life as a Christian and on display for Christ. I honestly like Fergie's music... the content leaves alot to be desired but I do enjoy her music. Im not going to sit here and tell you that I dont listen to the words... thats bull.... You can't listen to a song without recognizing some of the words... but I really like that kind of music. I haven't found any christian artists that I like that sing her style of music. All of the one's I have heard are really cheesy... like "Jesus is cool cool cool." or something like that. Not saying he isnt but I dont want to feel like I'm listening to Sunday school music with a hip hop twist. There are times that I can not get enough praise and worship and Christian music, sometimes even weeks that go by where I listen to non stop christian music... and then there are times when i want music i can dance to... or pretend to dance to at least.... and even then it doesnt always consist of music with Fergie's kind of content. All i know is that i dont know what to think right now... i guess if people want to leave their feedback I would really appreciate hearing what the 4 people who read this when they are bored think... lol... | | |
| So life has been pretty cool lately. I met a guy... started dating him. Its a pretty good deal.
Spring semester has started... and its pretty freakin sweet considering i have like no homework... ever... at least not yet...
The only thing that does suck is that I have been sick for the past week and a half.... and its annoying....
I've started doing aerobics... that is fun.
This is a really random post. I don't really care. I think I'm done. Ok Bye.

| haha.... well lets just say my new-ish friend Jeff just got me some coffee from Sips and he had them put a double shot of espresso in it... WOW do i have energy!!!!! Amazing considering I was up until 330 then back up at 945! wahoooooo... ok... i will try to keep those to a minimum.... So i figured out how to upload videos to the internet from dvds so i uploaded one on youtube last night... search under katielee09 and Christmas conversations... you'll find a video of me singing at Christmas a few years back.... fun times. So I am totally slacking this j-term... I had a midterm in health and fitness and a test in music and the western world today and I hardly put 3 hours of studying in for both of them combined..( unless you count having your notes sitting in your lap and staring at them- not really reading them as studying too.. then it was prolly about 6 hours total) On the up-side I feel like i did generally well on them, prolly a C in health and fitness and a B in mww. I just realized how annoying it is when you read the word "prolly" in a sentence... moving on. Needless to say i really dont have any homework tonight.... YAY, kinda... There seems to be a lack of things to do around here during jterm... bor-ing. la da da da da i dont know what else to write... maybe i'll go on an excursion to wal mart... and bother the workers there with my hyperactivity... mwhahaha kbye | | |
| Its been a while....what has happened since i posted last? not too much... I'm in J term now at school taking the 2 easiest classes... ever... Health and Fitness and Music and the Western World... oh boy... so in light of that I have decided to start running again... Mainly bc it sounds like a good idea but intramural soccer that is coming up is also on my mind too... I'm really excited to play again, I miss it! So in order to start running again Kristin and I have been running lots (duh) Sunday we ran all the way around campus Monday we ran for 30 mins on the treadmill and did lots of sprints and jumps... tuesday I was so sore i couldn't even walk so I took a break... today I ran for 20 minutes... basically my legs are like "STOP MOVING!" but my head is like "must... keep.... running..." it's quite interesting...
I am so glad last semester is over!!!!!!! I really hated my schedule and I hated how time consuming my projects were.... but i loved the classes. except accounting... accounting sucks! Anyways...
I'm just kinda typing whatever comes into my head... SO this is really sporadic. I get to go back home for j-term break... YAY! And I get to fly this time... yay again! My mom is so cool!
So what Have i been up to? ( like you care!) Well lets see... New Years Eve I went to the Inner Harbor with Sarah Anna Becky Adam and Rob and it was fun... Rainy and fun... But let me tell you, God is awesome... He made the rain stop just long enough for the fireworks to be set off and then he turned the faucet back on... He's so neat like that, and i love Him! Then I drove 8 hours... all by myself (i was actually impressed) back to school... then i went to class.. this is really boring... OOH! saturday Kristin Mel and I did our own version of "while you were out" and reorganized Britt's living room. That was fun. Pics on Facebook.
I think im done rambling... Night!
