Summer in review


So...it has been a while since I wrote a blog. I have been lurking around other blogs and I feel guilty for not posting! I know TONS of people read this so I decided to finally write about my summer.

I really thought I would have vast amounts of free time this summer and I would be able to hang out with friends and relax. I did get to relax, but working 5 days a week during the whole summer made it kind of hard to see people. I still got to see people who I neglect during the semester but definitely not as much as I thought I would. At the end of each day I was tired!

June started off nicely, I started working at the assessment office at my school during the last week in May. Originally I committed to working for 3 weeks because someone was going on paternity leave (yes I said paternity). I was planning on taking the CNA test. I ended up working there the whole summer and I am actually going to take the CNA test next weekend. I AM NERVOUS!

I was very grateful for the job. We managed to go on a few weekend trips this summer. In June we went to southern california for a reunion with some of the students I spent time with in Peru. It was really fun to take Sean down to the bible college and introduce him to my friends that he has only seen pictures of.

Parenting

I am not a parent so I obviously don't know as much as some. However, I do believe I have a little more experience with kids than most people I know who are my age without kids. I have been babysitting for a long time now. About 12 years to be exact. I have witnessed families with incredible parenting, horrible parenting, alternative parenting, and really strange parenting. I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su

Turning over a new leaf

So, when I got a gym membership about 10 months ago I agreed with my husband that I should be working out about 3 times a week to make my gym membership financially worth it. I was doing really good until about 2 months ago. I think that finals, along with getting a new job, new schedule, and my own laziness has really got in the way. Lately I have been lucky if I make it to the gym 2 times a week... The interesting thing is that I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I have learned to finally embrace the way God made me and realize that no matter what my outer appearance looks like the true beauty comes from a heart after God. I have comes to terms with what a real woman looks like. Not the woman on the cover of Cosmo, not the woman in any victoria secret catalogue. Those women are beautiful...but they are fake. They have no ounce of cellulite, they NEVER have stretch marks, their skin is perfectly smooth. A real woman, no matter how physically fit t

Something that makes me mad.

I hate it when Christians hide behind "religious freedom" to spread hate. I was reading about the new law Arizona passed that would enable Business owners to be able to with hold their services from certain individuals in order to "protect themselves from a lifestyle they oppose". Quote taken from this article,  http://www.allgov.com/news/top-stories/arizona-legislature-passes-bill-allowing-businesses-to-discriminate-against-gays-140225?news=852529.  What the hell?!?! I think the general public needs to be protected from Christians who use Jesus's name to spew hatred. If they truly wanted to represent Jesus they would not only serve the people, but they would invite them into their home (gasp) for a meal. If they wanted to go even deeper in obedience to Jesus and what he stood for they would make friends with the gay person...even invite them to their children's birthday party.  I would be a whole lot happier if those people would just admit thy maybe they a
