"Creation's revealing Your majesty"

Isn't it cool how God can be seen everywhere? This weekend was winter conference! I don't know, there's just something about being in the mountains that makes me so aware of God's great power!! Usually, I think of God being seen and revealed through his word and through people we come into contact with, but I think being away from the hustle and bustle (yes, even Clinton has that) and being in a place where there is such beauty and grandness just makes you so aware of God's creativity and magnificence! To me, seeing the amazing beauty makes me know that while science can come up with so very many explanations as to how exactly this Earth was formed, there is absolutely no way any combination of random particles could have come together without the hand of God creating it all.

And, while creation can be thought of in simply a past tense, I think creation isn't just something that happened thousands, millions, or billions of years ago. Creation is something that is still happening today. God has his hands in our lives and specially takes time to mold and shape us into those he wants us to be. God sees the same beauty in us that we see in the mountains. They are all beautiful, unique creations, just as we are. That is something I need to remember. God created me specifically and specially.

So, now would be a great time to show you some pictures, but I didn't take any. I'm not used to having a camera.

Additionally. This weekend. One of the BIGGEST highlights outside the conference was the J. Crew factory store. Oh. My. Gosh. All I have to say is 4 shirts for $44! I was so pumped! I had an armful of clothes and Anna looks at me and goes, "Sarah, are you really getting all that?" and I said, "Anna, how can you NOT have this much?!" She said, "before I buy things I think 'do I really need this?" So I thought. Did I really need these clothes? Ummmmm. Yes. 4 shirts for $44. Done.

But, this weekend was great! Its nice to get away for a weekend to regroup.

This week brings with it 2 tests, one being chemistry. Please say a little prayer for me, as Dionne Warwick would do.

That's all for now!

Peace and Love!

To be, or not to be?

So, this time every semester (although I've only been in college for a semester and a few weeks, I'll go ahead and say every semester) I have this breakdown as to what I'm going to do with my life. I've always wanted to do something in the medical profession, and due to personal experiences, I decided to go into medicine to become a pediatric rheumatologist. Well, after a semester and a few weeks in college, I am slowly... rapidly, actually... realizing my dislike for biology. Really. I can't stand it! And throw in chemistry on top of it! Kill me now!! I don't know if I don't like it because of what we are primarily studying right now, plants and other things hardly relating to my interests, or if because I really don't enjoy the whole biology thing. So last night, over the stomach bug that is running rampant around PC, I starting thinking about what it is that I truly want to do. And I've come to the conclusion, I honestly have no idea. I think the main reason why I wanted to go into medicine was to be a support and friend for those who are going through pretty unfortunate circumstances, but let's be honest, so so much more comes along with being a doctor! And, I'll just go ahead and say that its pretty darn intimidating having a room full of biology majors, and the majority of them saying they want to go to medical school. Realistically, not everyone can get in. Anyway, I know that I don't have to know what I'm going to do today, I just don't do well in the face of uncertainty.

This blog isn't going to end with some grand realization, as badly as I want it to, but instead with me making a new career goal: to keep an open mind about my future, and to go into something that I truly love!

Back to the Books!

Well, I'm back at PC!!!! I've missed this special place! I really think I've missed the bathroom and 4 flights of stairs the most!

So I've decided to set a new-semester's resolution! I'm going to get my work done earlier than usual, and limit my library visits to only the times I actually have work to do. Plus, I'm going to be prepared for all my classes by reading things before class instead of after as I frantically try to keep up! Oh, and I'm going to be all over some notecards! I feel like if I stick to this, my grades can only improve!

Currently, I'm in my room studying for biology. Already? Yes. I'm trying to finish a chapter in the book before tomorrow with reading notes.

Earlier today, with the help of half my hall, I got my bed lifted! So I now have places to store all the clutter that was all over my side of the room! It was a pretty difficult endeavor seeing as how collectively we are a pretty weak group.

Its supposed to SNOW tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! That would be so exciting!!! I'm keeping everything possible crossed. I'm even thinking of wearing a braid tomorrow. Just think of the fun pictures you dedicated viewers could see if this were to happen!! I would encourage all of you to keep positive thoughts as well.

So that's all. I now have to get back to my studies. My new motto for the semester: "Study now, play later!"

I hope all of you get to experience a winter wonderland this week!

Peace and Love!
