Quotes

I'm back!! I hadn't realized how long it had been since I had posted. These past 2 weeks have been CRAZY. In the span of one week, I had 4 tests and 2 research papers. I realize it doesn't sound like a lot, but trust me, it's killer. I at least found the topic of the papers interesting. The first one was on attachment theory with adoption so pretty much just researching whether adopted children had problems feeling attached with their adoptive parents. The other paper was for chemistry(bleh) and I wrote it over Thalidomide. We could choose to write about anything that had to do with chemistry and I find Thalidomide really interesting. This drug caused severe birth defects in the early 1960's and is now being used by people with Multiple Myeloma to help them. It's crazy! Anywho, I'm finally home and able to relax some before getting back into school next week. Thankfully, I only have about a month of school left! There's just something about being back in Rockport that gives me a sense of peacefulness. I feel like no matter what is going on in Waco, I drive into Rockport and it all just goes away. I love it here. 

If yall know me very well, you know that I absolutely LOVE quotes. I'll see certain ones and realize that that is exactly how I feel, but I just couldn't say it so eloquently. However, there's also some quotes I absolutely despise. Feel free to post a comment if you disagree, I'm up for it!

In three words I can sum up everything you need to know about life: It Goes On.

I've seen this quote a lot by people that see it as a very positive and uplifting thing. Personally, I find it so incredibly sad. I just don't think you should sum up life like that. Granted, there are certain times where you have to remember that life will go on despite your current situation, but in general, life should be so much more than this. It shouldn't just "go on" and you deal with it; you embrace it and live life energetically and with a purpose.

Well behaved women rarely make history

I'm all about rules, yall so obviously I'm one of the "well behaved women." Okay so the ones that break the rules make history. But for what? Nothing good I would imagine. They make history by disobeying someone and doing something that is frowned upon. Also, the well behaved women might not be known by the whole world, but I would guess that they've made a much stronger impact on the people that do know them. I would rather be known for positively influencing a handful of lives than being known worldwide for doing something against the rules.

 I hate religion, but love Jesus.

I strongly dislike this saying. For off, it was the theme of a video that went around a while back that everyone was posting. I think the thing that really bothered was that people posted it and didn't really think about what the video was saying. They just saw that it was saying he loved Jesus so they posted it; not really comprehending the intensity behind the statement. Religion gives us a way to organize our faith and also gives us a chance to do mission work. It gives form to our relationship with Christ. Religion is an awesome thing as long as it's based on a relationship with Christ. Not to offend anyone, but I think the whole "religion bashing" movement is a cop out for those that don't want to actually attend a church. 

Git er done

I legitimately HATE this saying. Other than it being ridiculously redneck and hick sounding, I can't even give you a reason as to why I hate it soooooo much. I guess on top of being redneck it has horrific grammar? I don't even know. When I hear someone say it, I automatically cringe. It drives me nuts.

Sometimes, it's hard to put into words how I feel about things. I know what I mean and if I'm telling somehow about it I can say it; but typing it down can be difficult sometimes. Yall, I'm sorry if this post is a completely failure and makes so sense. Maybe the quote thing wasn't as interesting as I thought it was gonna be haha 

The past few weeks have been kinda weird but also exhilarating. I've been praying about a lot of stuff and I'm seeing those prayers get answered. It's such an amazing thing to be able to see prayer being answered and to see how Mighty our God really is. There's been a lot of things lately that I've been praying about; everything from people's well being to my future to relationships and it's so awesome to see how God is paving the way in every aspect of my life. 

I hope yall have a great Easter Holiday!

Oh!! and Sic Em Lady Bears for being undefeated and National Champs!! 40-0!!
