(Posted: 08/23/08 5:00pm)So, it's been a week today since I've moved into my new apartment... and boy, does it feel amazing. It's invigorating to finally be free of my parents and have the reign to go and do as I please. There are no rules, no restrictions, no curfews (except for the ones that you put on yourself of course ). But, the one thing that has been the most invigorating is being able to finally have my own faith walk with Christ. My parents always tried to teach me about how important my faith walk was with God. How "it should be about what He wants" and "it should be something that is personally yours and conducted by no one else but Him." But, I always thought that my faith walk under my parents roof was forced upon me and not something of my own doing. It was almost as if it was an unresolvable requirement and not a journey that I walked. I've always thought that your faith walk with God comes from the experiences that you have ON YOUR OWN that show you that you truly need Him in your life. Some people have that one experience, that "revelation",...

Posted by: tdsco (Posted: 07/09/08 10:07am)Dear Lord, It is July 09th and still no job. How can you have given me intelligence ( a masters degree), curosity, and an independent spirit and not want me to use it. I keep praying that you have something bigger in store for me, something so big and wonderful I cannot even imagine it right now. I recently have listened to the book The secret which has very applicable christian themes in it. So I believe in you and in myself to provide a well paying job that I have worked hard to achieve the education training in. A job where I will feel fulfilled, not overworked but not bored either. Please guide my hands and steps to a good job. Please comfort my spirit and mind and fill them with peace until the day you fulfill your plan for my life. Today my spirits are up but yesterday they were way down. Here is what I am greatful for Gratitude Journal 1. Wonderful, supportive husband that provides for our family 2. Baby Andrew crying less 3. Daycare at the gym 4. Car payment taken care of I have a lot to be thankful for lord, you do provide...

Posted by: evryhievrylo (Posted: 07/03/08 6:50pm)I am going to college in the fall. Accompanying such a drastic move are the usual concerns about roommates, finding my way around, cafeteria food, difficult courses, being away from home, so on and so forth. But, what I found to be most worrisome was the professors. I'll be attending a private college with Methodist roots somewhere off in history. Its located in what I would consider an affluent neighborhood. I came from a high school of roughly four thousand students located in a lower economic area. My city is famed for gangs, drugs, guns, and violence. It is a highly diverse place to grow up. The high school is actually larger than the college. You'd think that I would be least worried about standing up for myself in college, but thats not the case. I graduated third in my class and took the full honors load in h.s. I'll be following that track in college. I was scared of the professors because I recognize the difference between a high school teacher who doesn't agree with you and a professor. I've had some rough experiences already with teachers, being called a fundamentalist, being told my thoughts are not constructive during...

Posted by: natiejean (Posted: 04/23/08 4:22pm)Finals start next week, so I just need prayer to make sure that I make time for God in between all of the time I have to set aside for schoolwork. I know that the best way I'll get through these coming days is if he's there with me, guiding me and keeping me together (it will be VERY easy to fall apart!!!) I want to dedicate my entire summer to God, so I'm waiting for a response from a church camp in Seymour that I applied to! If this isn't where he wants me, I want to make sure I get his call on what his plan for me is this summer. If I do get stuck in Michigan City again, I guess I'll have to be okay with it. I'll just make it a goal to evangelize with all of my co-workers, which would be SO hard because I'd have to see them every day after that!! But I know how important it is to God that they all hear his message! Love love!...

Posted by: tamer (Posted: 03/13/08 8:48pm)I am a teacher working at a high school, but will soon be changing jobs to work at a Catholic high school and I am interested in the following question. If you are taking the time to just browse this section please take the 2 minutes needed to reply to this quick (or not so quick) question: When you were a teenager, where did find/experience your faith? The reason that I am asking this is because I feel that even in Catholic/Christian schools we don't do a great job at helping students encounter God. Nor do we do a good job at offering meaningful opportunities to explore their faith. In my experience we tell teens what to think - but they are teenagers and question everything. It is their nature and was mine back then as well. I am wondering what ideas might be out there for better ways to engage teens on their spiritual journey. Not all evangelization methods work equally on all, especially if mandated from "the school". Therefore I am looking for ideas. If you have them please share....

Posted by: relationshiplady (Posted: 03/04/08 9:33am)Alright so I'm a second semester freshman at a Public University. I am an athlete also here and my boyfriend also attends my school. In the past few weeks I have been struggling with God and his plan for my life. I do not see that God want me to stay at my current school. This is not a very good feeling. I would be leaving everything that I have grown accustomed to and my friends and teammates. I can't imagine transferring colleges...but I don't think God wants me to stay where I am. I'm pretty confused about this but thank goodness for my parents! They have been praying for me, calling me, researching for me, and everything even though we're 4 hours apart! they have saved me from making some crazy decisions about this. I feel that I am just wasting my time in college, like there is something bigger and better out there for me to be doing rather than wasting time and money in school. My parents have been helping me find a school that will help me feel like I am living my life for God NOW and not just for myself now and serve him...

Posted by: relationshiplady (Posted: 02/26/08 5:57pm)Ok so I'm a second semester freshman in college and I have the worst roommate known to mankind. Well maybe not the worst...but fairly close. We are both on the track team at our University and our wonderful coach put us together. She is transfer junior from California. I just can't understand why God put me with her. I would love to take up all this space just to complain and vent about all she does...but that would waste your time and mine. I tried just ignoring her this past sememster...I even tried talking about God with her...but she swiftly ignored my questions and claimed she had no religion. I only have about 2 months left with her but they will definitely not be a pleasant time. The biggest problem is that she is the coach's favorite and one of the best on the team. So even when I move out, I'll still have to deal with 20 hours a week at practice. I would love any advice at all at how I can deal with her. I know I should be praying for her...but it is just hard becuase I just really dislike her. Has anyone else had this...

(Posted: 02/25/08 6:45pm)I deleted this post from another site so I could present it here for your information. God Bless You. I am always amused at how my wife can remember the names of every teacher she had at all levels of her education. She can remember the name of her First Grade teacher as well as some College Professor in a class she dropped out of. As for me, as hard as I try, I can honestly only remember the names of perhaps 5 teachers in all my years of schooling. I can remember them only because they had a profound impact on my life in one way or another. As for my wife, all I can say is that she can also remember birthdates of friends she had in grammar school and never has sent a card to in her life. I had a horrible time making the transition from Grammar School to Junior High. In fact, due to intimidation by some "bullies", I drifted into a state of extreme introversion. There was only one teacher in 7th grade who saw what was happening and took the time to try and help me. Mr. Holman was my History teacher that...

Posted by: jazzytroy (Posted: 12/17/07 1:05pm)Where to start... well I gues this as good of place as any. College, so much prep for it. I'm a senior in high school and I'm from a small town in MT. Recently I have decided that i want to move to WA for a year to gain the residency and then attend the University of Washington the following year. Well I have to say it is extremely hard or at the very least it seems that way. I have a 2.7 cumulative GPA. Even though being accepted into UW is very sketchy and I might not get in, my girlfriend has been very supportive and encouraging. I would just like to stop and say thank you to God for her. Ok back to this vent about college. My intended major is musical education so I hope that my talent as a musician will help me gain that coveted acceptance letter. To be honest I'm not real sure why I'm writing this. I just needed some way to voice my fears about college. b...

Posted by: leigh (Posted: 11/20/07 2:19pm)Find hard to control myself to concentrate on my study. i'm a morning person, so i tend to be more concentrate in the mornings. But the problem is , in the evenings, i'm useless! like today, i was preparing my presentation for Friday, then a friend came over. We chatted for a while, like over a hour. afterwards i just cant go back to study. doing nothing online... end up blogging here... i need more time to study, but simply i am distracted by so many things that not worth my attention. you know what i mean? How can i get in to the mood quickly and thoroughly? i've prayed for this for so many times, but it seems that it's so hard to change. i mean, God made me this way, this is like my personality which is deep in my blood, how can i possibly change? i know i should have the perspective of doing everything for Him, but still, hard. i feel like i'm so messed up because i am a person who tend to pursue perfection. kind of obsess to it. (because i'm a virgo? maybe...) but the thing is, i cant be perfect in doing...

Posted by: macavity (Posted: 10/24/07 3:15am)After much deliberation over the past year I have finally been able to make the decision to continue my degree studies at University! I am so excited and really feel God has led me to make this decision, helped by knowing I will have him with me if it gets tough! I am working towards a degree in Humanities with History and Literature - I've already completed the first year, and this year I do Literature. I can't wait to get really stuck in, but I'm already reading the set texts in preparation. So this is really a short blog to say Thankyou to my Father, for helping me to listen and hear His voice, and feel that I am doing the right thing. I have come to realise that even if I feel unlikely to make professional use of my degree in the future (because of where I will be living), it is important for my personal growth and confidence to know in my own mind that I can achieve this much. Also thankyou God for Linda, my friend, who helped me to make this decision by giving me notes on scripture about guidance and decision-making. May her way...

Posted by: ruthandboaz (Posted: 10/05/07 8:00pm)"Ma'am! That was only two days!" exclaimed Ayra, my classmate, referring to how long they had practiced their entry for the International Dance Contest in our school. It was funny. After the Teacher's Day celebration, the contest had begun. After a specail dance number, I asked one of my classmates competing in the event whether they were the first to perform. They told me their group was the eighth. Then... WHAAAAAAAAT???!!! Our group was the first to dance! Keith, their choreographer, couldn't believe. As Nikky told the emcee that we were eighth in the order, some of my classmates who were there for support told them to go onstage. After moments of persuasion, we got them performing first in the contest. Well, they did the best they could. Rosella told Karissa, one of our dancers, that they got the dance almost perfect. We were all smiles. The emcee asked for our Social Studies teacher. And - oh, no, but oh, yeah! - our group is going to perform again. This time they could have exerted more efforts, but I can't regret them. They were already tired. One classmate said "They did better at the first performance." All other fifteen groups...

Posted by: ahaines (Posted: 09/14/07 10:36am)I need a lot of prayer right now about college, work, and finances. I'm just nearing the end of my first month of college and although I haven't gotten involved in any extracurricular activities I love it! I love the way I don't have blocked classes every day from 7:30am to 3:35pm and the way I only have the same classes a few days of the week. I feel like I actually have a schedule to work around and it excites me. Plus, I am finally treated with more responsibility, maybe a little too much I fear :S I'm not scared, but I just feel overwhelmed. When I'm not doing homework Im either at work or hanging out. That doesn't sound too bad but you should see my apt, it is in dire need of someone's love. And you should see my paychecks, they are starving. I feel like I'm not using my time wisely and if I were I would have no life : ( I need to work more, and I need to do laundry, and clean, and wash dishes. Not to mention hygiene lol- I need to get to sleep earlier, so I can wake up earlier,...

Posted by: hyperkid (Posted: 07/15/07 11:42am)Well first off, It's been way too long since I wrote a blog, second, I just wanted to. So here goes... Most of you already know what job's I'm interested in once I grow up, but almost all of them require past the basics in college. I am hoping to do some things that require training, like Archeology, Marine Biology, assisting in drilling samples of ice Antarctica, helping to design M.E.R's for NASA..I wonder if I have just been dreaming, or if I can really make one of those work for me. Another option I was considering was missionary work in South America. But with ministering to people over there you have to get vaccinated for all those diseases and illnesses that can be easily caught over there. The ordinary simple lifestyle just doesn't sound good to me I guess. People just don't live long enough for me to try all of those jobs. It would take a long time to train for the surroundings in Antarctica, and years of college for Marine Biology, and research for Archeology, and paying good attention in church for missionary work, and doctor visits regularly. Will take a lot of work to reach one...

Posted by: reved (Posted: 07/09/07 6:47am)Well, time has passed since my last blog and my last visit to Campbell University. I was encouraged by my visit to continue my education and enroll into the M.Div. or M.A.C.E. program at the Divinity School. Before talking to my wife, I was psyched up about it and even told a few others that I was thinking of continuing. I was further encouraged by my friends and I'm still pretty desirous of obtaining an graduate degree. But then I talked to my wife about it and was reminded of her gifts to provide me with common sense. Here's the problem: time and money. Not much of a problem I was thinking. Scholarships and grants are a lot better now then when I first applied about 9-10 years ago. The church (I work part time -- 25-30 hrs weekly) would be flexible enough for me to travel (2hrs one way) and study. So what's the problem? If I took two days off a week to travel and attend classes, I would lose out on 2 days pay. If I worked 3 full days I wouldn't be able to meet expenses plus the added travel expenses. And then when would I...

Posted by: reved (Posted: 06/26/07 10:15am)Last Friday I took my daughter, Jill, to my alma mater, Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC. She registered for classes in the Social Work field while I visited the Divinity School. As it turned out, I was able to talk to the Director of Missions and discuss the possibility of furthering my education. Up 'til this time I assumed that I was too old to venture out into the world of academics (I'm 59). I was also assuming that I could not afford the tuition, etc. I guess the Lord has opened up a door of opportunity, however, despite my preconceived wrong assumptions. So, now I'm reviewing the material I was given and actually thinking about it! I told the Director that I would need to pray about it and talk to people about it and then listen to God. This is going to be a big thing for me and I don't want to start something that I will regret later. I am considering the Master of Arts in Christian Education (M.A.C.E.). It seems to meet my exact needs here at the church and it's only a 2-yr program. Of course, it does not convert the degree to...

Posted by: wisdomtree (Posted: 06/12/07 2:42pm)It is sad that our everyday experiences do not enrich our spirituality, much less our theology. We don't look at the star-littered night sky and make theological assertions as much as we do on a Sunday morning service during ‘praise and worship' (at least this is my experience). But, the psalmist could sing God's praises when he looked at the night sky: " The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament his handiwork" (Ps 19:1); When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; ...O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!" (Psalm 8:3,9); "He telleth [counts] the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." (Psalm 147:4). The grandeur and the complexity of the universe do not evoke the sense of wonder. Are we losing our humanity? Hugh Ross contends, "Gazing at the night sky seems to raise profound questions not only about the Universe but also about ourselves". Why is it that we don't get into a reflective mood when we gaze into the night sky? No wonder, our spirituality is shortsighted, dull and boring. The bible affirms...

Posted by: sathya (Posted: 05/18/07 1:47am)Hi All. Its my daughter, a 17 year old, who asks me everyday if I have written anything in the blog and if I have got responses. We do not have a computer at home (for safety reasons) and I write from my work spot during my breaks. We will be getting a system at home, as my daughter is getting into college soon. Just to share with you all. My daughter has come out with 86% marks in her Class XII Government examinations conducted during March,07. The academic year 2006-07 was her final year in school and very crucial. This is where children decide what they want to be. My daughter has decided to get into Electronic Media and be a Reporter. She has applied for Visual Communication. My friends tell me that inspite of troubles at home, she has come with high marks and that is appreciable. I guided by the Holy Spirit had been telling her not to worry and go ahead and be a success in life. There have been terrible dark days in our lives just around December,06. New year started on a very bad note. On Christmas eve when we went to Church the...

Posted by: tevyebird (Posted: 05/14/07 9:05pm)rrA couple of weeks ago, I was driving along and switching radio stations, and came upon a sermon program from a certain well known pastor (which shall go nameless here) of the more intellectual /less emotional genre. Anyway, he stated that only 1 of every 7 persons with a college degree was in a position that demanded the degree they had. Being one of those 6 of 7, and having spent a lot of time over the years thinking about where I may have erred, I could not help but have my thinking gravitate towards this idea. First, as much as I know that there are a lot of people out there who work in something other than a field that is related to their course of study, I am not all that certain that the amount is that high. In thinking about this, there are three problems before one could even begin to determine whether is statement is correct. First, what did he mean by "college"? The way the statement is said, it implies that all the post-high school trade schools which tend to advertise 98% and higher placement rates are not part of the group being considered. At...

Posted by: followerofchrist (Posted: 04/30/07 12:50pm)We get out of school may 31st. It has been so stressful lately. It's hard to think about the fact that it is the last marking period, and I don't have the next marking period to squeeze stuff in. Everything is coming at me all at once. We have so many tests, projects, and worries. It can give you a headache. Summer will be a much needed break. I know how it's going to go though. Half way through the summer I will want to be in school. Although, I can't believe that much right now. I know it will happen. Then about two weeks into school I will want summer again. Ugg! School...it's a no win situation. I just have to drag myself through these final 21 days. ( yah...I am counting!lol) I think it is 21 days, anyway. I don't know. I just need a break. I don't know how much more I can take of all of this. Adults think kids have it easy...not so much anymore. We have more expected of us these days....

Posted by: mrgeek (Posted: 04/29/07 6:21am)Wow, School is out for the year. Now it is time to stop deserting my friends and hopefully do something this summer. It is surprising how fast days and weeks fly. I have been looking forward to being out of school for a while due to my job responsibilities. I have also been looking at getting a new job. I am would like to do more travel with a type of consultant work. Other then that my life is going ok. I found out last night that my fancy phone is completely dead. Not sure what happened to it, but I cannot charge or turn on the phone. I have been up waiting for Sprint to contact me back. They have like a 20 minute back log currently. That does not sound to good to me. Is everyone having this problem? I need mine fixed because I have tons of phone numbers on it. Granted they are backed up on a lil card, but that does not do me much good....

Posted by: strummer (Posted: 03/22/07 12:08am)I met with my advisor yesterday. he said that if I continue to work at the rate I have been in the past few days, then I will have no problem graduating in May. The girl might graduate. She might become a Masters Degree holder. It was difficult to get to this point. I had begun to doubt many things: the "seriousness" of my thesis topic, the strength of my literature review, the enthusiasm of my advisor. I push myself hard and at a point, I could not believe that he really thought the papers I was submiting to conferences were stellar. i could not believe he thought I was that smart. I am grateful I have an advisory committee that is so strong, and so committed to helping me get my thesis done. Trust me, if you are working in Computer Science, heck, maybe in any department, it is a good thing to have. I doubted the seriousness of my thesis topic because my thesis does a unique thing, different from the conventional CS thesis: it draws upon greek mythology, art, language, psychology, and the physics of light. All this for a CS degree. And everyone else has their...

Better still I got full marks. I was so happy and I really felt truely blessed. Then this afternoon I sent a draft copy of my major assignment to my sister-in-law and niece who both happen to be studying education too. I thought that I had a lot of work to still do on my assignment as I am still new to study but they said that it was quite good and I only needed to change a few things. This all really inforcing the feeling I have that GOD is leading me to do this degree....

Posted by: aaronmeng (Posted: 01/06/07 9:36am)Hi everyone! As this is my first entry, I decided to include to give a short introduction about myself. I'm from Singapore, a small country in South East Asia. I am 19 this year and just started medical school in 2006 at the National University of Singapore. I think that I am a creative person and I (really) enjoy drawing, inventing and designing. I always thought that I will have a career in design (advertising, architecture, product designing) since I love art and coming up with new ideas. While I do pretty well academically, I am certainly not the brightest spark around. But by God's amazing grace, He has provided me with a place in medical school which I accepted after praying about it. Medical school has been a great struggle for me thusfar as i find myself wanting to pursue all sorts of things but a medical degree. I find myself having difficulty focusing on my school work and end up struggling to get through my tutorials and exams. My friends always tell me how lucky I am to get into the prestigious medical school but they really don't know how much I have to sacrifice for me even...

Posted by: talpen (Posted: 12/29/06 11:55am)I'm trying to learn Latin. I just got a book from the library yesterday about it. Now, why would a teenage girl want to learn LATIN of all things? I don't know. I think that it would be useful. Besides, God gave me a brain to learn things, and I want to learn! It's not going to be easy, I knew that before I even got the book. For one thing, I don't know anybody who knows Latin--after all, it's a 'dead' language and it hasn't been mandatory in regular school for a very, very long time. So, I'm starting from scratch. But that's okay; if I don't learn to pronounce the words correctly and be able to SPEAK Latin, at least I will be able to read it. The usefulness of this? Well, for one thing, my mom is a gardener and I have learned to love plants. And why not? Before Adam sinned, he was in a garden. Anyway, some plants don't have 'regular' names; they're in Latin. If I learn a bit of the language, maybe it would help me to remember the names of the plants. Also, when I read about chemistry, biology, etc., then it...

Posted by: standingongrace (Posted: 12/15/06 12:35am)Despite reading for the written revalida, my name did not appear on the final list of students who passed the exam. I missed it by only a few points, which is more disappointing. I was hoping to be exempted from the first oral revalida. Why, Lord? After praying so hard and preparing for it? Why? Why does it seem like other people are never disappointed when it comes to passing exams. Others claim they got lucky, others had samplexes they didn't share. It all seems very unfair. This is a blow to my confidence in my ability in becoming a doctor. There is the fear of not graduating. There are all these doubts and questions in my head that are swirling around that I know are from Satan. Lord, why can't Christians just not have any trials on earth? Hah! Of course I know that You did not promise us an easy life. But You did promise us a life that will overcome. And I guess without the trials You place in our life, there is nothing to overcome. I know You want show Yourself strong in our lives and make us totally dependent on You. Or at least me....

I had biology first and I thought it was going to be really hard but suprisingly it wasn't i don't know if that was because i stayed up till who knows when in the morning or if she just was really nice and made the exam easy. Then i had geometry suprisingly it was pretty easy to thankfully i think he was feeling nice but he's also pretty smart so I yea i am very thankful. I also had spanish today. I am pretty good at spanish because she's like a really good teacher and I can like comprehend it which is weird because you would think i would get english over spanish but i mean i guess its pretty good that i get spanish since it helps in college when you have a second language. Tomorrow i have your exam, the Bible exam, and History so i have lots of studying to do. Love, Megan...

Posted by: volleyballace (Posted: 12/12/06 2:52pm)Grammar is so hard. I wish that I was good at it but I'm horrible at it. I study I try hard to pay attention in class even though I talk sometimes :), but I mean it's really tough for me. I have always had a problem with grammar and literature and all that stuff i find it kind of boring but I mean i know i have to learn it cause i mean we speak it everyday. My Grandma is very good at grammar and like speaking well and she's even good at other languages, but I guess I didn't inherit the smart gene from here not that i'm not smart or anything its just i didn't get the english gene. Simple stuff like nouns and verbs and direct objects i can do but when it comes to diagraming i'm horrible so if there is anything you can do that would help me that would be great. hope you have a good day love megan...

Posted by: brant (Posted: 11/15/06 1:43pm)so, as an engineer, i am currently working on a little research paper on whatever topic i choose. i chose carbon dating and am finding out some very interesting facts. did you know that no coal has never been collected that did not contain some carbon-14? it's true, it has always appeared in coal. now, carbon-14 has a half life of about 6000 years, making it so that by the time some living matter has been dead for over 50000 years, there is no traceable carbon-14 in it. this makes it impossible to measure anything that is older than that with carbon dating. now obviously, the earth is not that old, but that is not the point, the point is that evolutionists claim that all coal takes millions of years to form, thereby making all coal older than a million years at the least, according to them. however, carbon dating can prove that all coal is less than 50000 years, just by the fact that there is some carbon-14 left in every sample of coal ever taken. this is an un-explained mystery to them. it's not a problem for the creationists though, because we believe that the flood of noah...

Posted by: standingongrace (Posted: 10/22/06 7:46am)As a graduating medical student in the Philippines, I had my expectations about experiencing the clinics and the bedside. I thought I would magically be transformed from a student to a confident doctor, much like the duckling is transformed into a swan. I could not have anticipated the cornucopia of feelings that have run through me in my first 3 months. Unlike the residents and interns in the hospital who wear white coats, the only item that distinguishes us from the rest of the medical student are our white shoes, that, by now, has dissolved into a dirty, gray-white color. Unfortunately, some of our patients do not recognize the distinction and end up calling us "Miss" or "Nurse", despite the number of times our residents or interns address us as "Doctor". Couple this with morning rounds led by a senior resident keen on setting our medical knowledge straight, unintentionally embarrassing us in front of the patient, and you have a recipe for a denigrat
