Christmas and Blogging

Hello everyone!  As you have noticed if you read this, I have not posted in a while.  I may do a few posts from time to time, but overall I'm quitting blogging...already I know.  The thing is that I thought some people may use this, but the truth is that no one I know currently uses this blog.  Yeah some people used to, my ex fiance, some of my friends, etc, but none really do any more, so I probably won't do much.  Anyway, just thought I'd let you know if you actually read this!

The Thin Line

There is a thin line in my heart between joy and grief.

Every morning I rise they battle over the depths of my heart.

They reminisce over love had and love lost,

Over that which will be and that which might not.

My very being cries out in torment.  From where will my salvation come?

But joy is always there, even in the midst of blackness.

Joy wells up from within me, yet it is not mine.

It is from God, my creator.

He is teaching me.

Teaching me to love him,

To love Him more than a friend,

More than creation,

More than life itself.

When I find Him, I find joy.

A can sing at the top of my lungs and praise my God,

But I am sinful,

And oh how I forget.

I neglect my savior,

And return to the pit of despair.

This is truly the thin line.

But He is always there,

Right by my side.

So I know I will prevail,

And the Joy of my salvation will complete me.

And I will sing of His praises for all eternity.

Awkward Moments

Ok, so I'm a little bit mad at my parents.  They invited one of their friends over with her niece for lunch.  Everything was great, except that my parents (dad in particular) was very awkwardly trying to "set us up."  Maybe it was more me than anything, but I felt awkward.  The girl was actually very nice and I'd love to get to know her more, but the funny thing is that she's already in a relationship anyway, lol.  So how many of you have had your parents try to awkwardly insert themselves in some way into your love life?

Question?

So I'm wondering if anyone actually reads this?  If you do could you please click one of the boxes below this post...such as "like" "agree" "disagree", etc.  Just choose one so I know how many people actually read this :)  Thanks!

Party with friends

I had a few guys over last night to play some games and hang out.  We played Halo Reach most of the night.  Corey even stayed up until 4 to beat the campaign and then crashed on our couch.  It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately now I'm back to studying for my GRE.  I took a practice test and my scores weren't bad, but let's just say I'd like to see some imporvement before I take the test on Friday!

Grad School

So I've spent most of today studying for the GRE.  It's a pretty hard test.  Part of my studying has been taking the practice tests, and I'm afraid that my English skills are a bit rusty.  Luckily I'll have a break from all of the studying tonight when I have a Halo Reach party with some friends!

The way life is

Hello everyone, I've just created this blog and I'm trying to make it as fun and interesting as possible.  I've added news feeds to the right ------>   along with some interesting blogs I'm following.  If you have a blog let me know so I can add you!  Anyway, without further ado, here's my first post:

Sometimes life can be wonderful, and sometimes life can tear us apart.  I don't know what season of life this may be for each of you, but I'd say that I've been through a rather rough one.  But you know what?  The rough seasons of life are often the ones that shape us the most and the ones that grow us.  As hard as it's been, it has also brought me closer to God, and thankfully I can see the sunrise of a new beginning starting the peak over the horizon.

I'm not a huge writer, so I'm not sure how much I'll update this blog, but I appreciate each and every follower that cares to listen or leave a word.  I'd like to attempt to keep in touch with more of you.  I'm not the best at that either, but I do care about you all and I want to hear from you.

For those of you who haven't yet heard, I just wanted to mention that Trish and I "broke up" for lack of better words.  It was her decision because she couldn't get peace about getting married, but in the end it was the decision I felt was best as well.  It is hard, but at the same time I hope it will bring each of us more peace.

Anyway, enough of the sad news...I'd love to hear if any of you have a blog.  Please comment below so I can subscribe!  I'll try to update as much as possible!
