numb

There comes a point in time where you feel numb to whatever is happening around you. This, however comfortable it may feel, is a not a good way to be with religion. Yes I whole-heartedly admit there was a time in my life where I became numb to the world and didn't mind what I was doing or spent little to no time dealing with my "quiet-times." I would even go as far as being a little "annoyed" when my family got on my case about going to church and spending time with God. For a while, I thought I could handle things on my own dealing with school, friends, and life in general. Of course, I was WAY WRONG with that. My family and I went to church on sunday in TN with my bro's and it was a little changing point in my life. The whole sermon talked about how Jesus is greater than anything that would stand in your way in life including school, relationships, and worries of that sort. This had a big impact on my life because it seemed this one sermon was directed towards me in particular and made me really think. I have been making all of my problems and worries be greater than the love that I have for God which really affected the way I acted. No matter what happens in the future, I can always count on God being there with me through it all and not ever giving me anything I can't handle. Of course, I think the famous 'HuYoung saying' is appropriate.

"Do your best and God will do the rest!"

180... or is it a 360?

"You have go on a date before you're 21." Wow, who ever thought these words were ever spoken by a parent? Well, lucky me, my parents said this in a jokingly-but-really-meaning-it kind of way. You'd think me being the only daughter in the family (who happens to also be the youngest), they would be sabotaging my chances of ever leaving the nest. But to my dismay, my parents are trying to kick me out of the nest (or house in this sense). I think one of the main reasons I went to New York this past week was to start a life-long search for my future husband. Of course the MAIN reason was to hang out with my brother and sister-in-law and my bro graduating from law school (good job bro!). It's just an odd feeling that I was not allowed to date till I was 16 and now I'm being pushed (subtly of course) to find a date. It's funny how life just turns and does a 180 on you. Or is it a 360? I'm not one for using math numbers for these situations.
