singleness...

this sunday in sunday school we talked about singleness and how we use the time we have as single women.


from I Kissed Dating Goodbye:

1. the right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing.
*are we using this time of singleness to prepare our selves to be a godly spouse or pretending with dating relationships?


2. you don't need to shop for what you can't afford.
*just because something is good for you doesn't mean it's good for you right now.

3. any season of singleness is a gift from God.
*God does not give us something that is not good for us

soooooo.... WHILE WE SINGLE GIRLS ARE WAITING; practice:

-intimacy in other relationships, like family, friends, etc.
-seeking God with others. ie. girl friends.
- financial responsibility
- parenthood-----this means KNOW HOW TO CHANGE A DIAPER.
- practical life skills


we need to be content with the time of singleness that we have.......possibly that's easier said then done. but we can at least try, and ask God to help to help us with this.

the awkward moment when.....


....you leave for stuff behind a trash can so you can run to the van to get the text book you forgot and someone comes out of a class room and sees you rush off with out your stuff.

Poor guy might have thought that i was leaving for one to deposit drugs into my bag.

i literally had fifteen minutes before class started when i rushed out to get my text book. I SWEAR IT'S TRUE.


.....when, shortly after forgotten text book incident, you accidentally drop ALL OF YOUR STUFF on the ground outside of an open classroom full of students taking an exam. i thought sure i was gonna get yelled at.

all i can say is "WHOOPS, SORRY! MY BAD." and go about my business.



.....when you're reading some one's blog, which has music playing, and you forgot that you didn't turn your volume off, resulting in music blasting IN THE LIBRARY. whoooops.......completely accidental folks....

facebook rant...


TO ALL THOSE WHO WORK AT FACEBOOK:

stop changing the stinking layout of the website.

it is getting super obnoxious.

and if i remember correctly you just changed something LAST WEEK.




PLEASE STOP. IT'S GETTING REALLY REALLY OLD.

mark zuckerburg, creator of facebook: STOP SPENDING YOUR MONEY (credit to drew kuehl) AND MAKE THEM CALM DOWN WITH THE CONSTANT CHANGES.

it's as if everyone working there is on red bull or five hour energy or something.




wait at least a year before you change something again...PLEASE.

um.....rude...

ya know what's just plain awkward?

seeing a pizza delivery man in a library.
i know! it's weird.

last night i was being the studious student and studying for an exam. it was around 8pm or 8:30pm when all of the sudden, this random pizza delivery man walks through one of the stacks of books with a pizza and a bag of sauces on hand.

poor man couldn't find his way around here, so i saw him at least two or three times. i don't blame him though. it's a confusing library. (i only know my way around because i now work there, but that's a story for another time.)





whoever had the nerve to order pizza in the library, is a cruel person. while studying i was sitting there thinking about how hungry i was (hadn't had dinner yet), and then this dude comes traipsing through the library. gosh dang it. COME ON.

grrr....

we walk by faith......

recently in the past few months, a dear family friend has been very ill. this man is practically my father, so when struck with the news of illness, it was tough to take.

his wife has been good about updating about his health, and recently said something very thought provoking that i wanted to share with ya'll.


"I have always heard and sometimes said that "God will not give us more than we can handle". I don't believe that now. If He did not give us more than we could handle, there would be no need for Him. We can not handle this on our own. We are relying on his faithfulness to see us through. We live by faith and not by sight. If we went with what we "see", it may be enough to overwhelm us. We know there is a plan and a purpose; we will live by faith"


i never thought of it that way. and i agree. no matter what the circumstance, we walk by faith.



thank you for the reminder Mrs. Colleen!

the awkward moment #2 when.....

....you spill water while at the water fountain, on to the CAUTION WET sign.


yes friends. it is possible. this girl right here spilled water right over a yellow CAUTION WET
sign.


that is mad skills at it's finest.

are you human? and more words of wisdom.....

scene: riding in the car at 9 pm, on or way home from classes, my dear friend Rebecca and i are talking FOOD.

keep in mind that this is one of those times at night were one tends to get a little SLAP HAPPY.

i had just told Rebecca that i sometimes will dip carrot sticks in salsa, and when i eat peas, i HAVE to put barbecue sauce on them.

(note: most people think this is strange, including my mother)


in response, the conversation went like this:

me: "if i want to eat peas, i HAVE to put bbq sauce on them. it's so good."

Rebecca: (looking at me as if i have three heads. although it was dark so i couldn't see her face, i'm sure she was looking at me strange) "ARE YOU HUMAN?"

me: "Yes. Pinch me and I'll scream."

Rebecca: "Cut me and i'll bleed. wound me and i'll cry..."



and so my friends, the moral of this convo is:



"pinch me and i'll scream. cut me and i'll bleed. wound me and i'll cry."



amen.

let's not make like Marilyn monroe.....

today has been quite the blustery day. especially for my attire. i had a job interview so i wanted to look half-way-decent and wear a dress to school and for the interview. well of course today would be the day that the wind would be blowing everything every which way.

between classes i have more then once almost pulled a "Marilyn Monroe".


only not on purpose, as did she on some occasions.

while carrying my school bags, i feel the need to hold down any part of my clothing possible as to not make anyone want to claw out their eyes.
talk about awkward moments..........



oh the fun times of school.

i wish she was my baby.....







see this sweet little baby girl? i fell in love with this little one while in china. we were given the opportunity to visit a foster home that our church sponsors. click here for more info on this wonderful place.

when i saw this baby, she immediately stole my heart. i was informed by ale' (my sweet "lil sis") that she (that baby) had cried for two or three other people. so i was sure to be careful. i came up to her to say "ni hao" and to my shock, she didn't cry. i think that's what made me fall in love with her the most.

anyway, i have claimed her as mine. i even found her again and was able to hold her the second time we were there. i would have brought her home with me, but that would have been frowned upon by the chinese government. so now, i'm hoping and praying that i could possibly support this sweet little one.

<span class=DQ Ji (18 August 2011)">


this picture was taken august 18, over two weeks after we got home. she has already gotten bigger! don't you think so?


this blog post was inspired by my friend, Augusta's blog post. she fell in love with a sweet little face as well. hop over there and see. click on Augusta's name.


good answer and a morning poke.....

scene:
in hospitality class. student (who shall remain nameless) is asked by teacher what he wants to do. this is the class called Introduction to the Hospitality industry.


Teacher: "so what do you want to do?"

student: "Rule the the world"


good answer my friend. good answer.

--------------------------------------------------------------

on another note, there are these two dudes sitting at a table at school. i swear i'm not ease dropping, but sometimes you can overhear stuff. in this case weird stuff.

anyhoozals....one dude is on his hand held device of some sort surfing over facebook. what i am about to tell you is a TRUE STORY. well it's not so much a story as it is just plain strange. pretty dang strange, i tell ya.

this is what what i heard him say:

"oh my gosh. i can't find (enter friend's name here). i need to give him his daily poke."



i'm sorry. i know that i am in the midst of a poke war now between two of my friends. i know i poke these two friends on facebook WHENEVER THEY POKE ME. but that statement was just plain weird, gosh dang it.
