Things to talk about...

So I am sitting here when I should be doing a spanish project but instead writing a blog and it got me thinking. I googled "good things to talk about" (Just trying to get myself thinking) and it came up with a ton of results but all of them were about relationships and what to talk about while on the phone with a girl. This got me thinking... 1) If you have to google what to talk about then she probably isn't the right girl for you. But, more importantly it blew my mind how many people there were that did use that. I just feel like society today does not know how to have healthy relationships. There are people at my school who "break up" and then "go-out" again within the course of a week. It just does not make any sense to me to go through all those emotions. On top of that their friends are telling them they go well together like that's acceptable. It just bugs me a lot to see people behave so differently from what the bible says to do in a relationship and then me and my friends who have relationships and respect each other get pushed away like we are the ones in bad relationships. Im not really mad about it I just feel like I wish I could fix it so no one ever has a bad relationship again.

ya know?

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me... they're cramming for their final exam.

the God factor

I am going to go back to my Biology class again for this post. We are learning about DNA still, but in particular we are learning about how bacteria and viruses transmit DNA. As we are studying it my teacher keeps saying that we(being scientists in general) don't fully understand how a certain mechanism works or what causes something else to happen. As we were discussing things, on the paper in front of me I realized how perfect it all fit together. I mean we know what goes in and what comes out but we don't fully understand why it does. And to me that made me feel like God is the only one who could even comprehend it. Maybe we aren't really given one hundred completely random DNA from our parents but God actually chooses it for us. Since we don't see God actually choosing it we never fully comprehend it. It is just to awesome and amazing for us to define in our view of science. So from now on anything in life or in science that I don't understand in my feeble brain is going to be called the God factor. Don't get me wrong I still want to learn and such. But, I'll take it on faith that God knows what he is doing.

School vs. Life

True Satisfaction

So we are watching a movie in AP biology right now about two scientists Watson and Crick who are trying to find the structure of DNA. The movie takes place right after WWII and the two scientists end up winning the nobel prize for their work. Anyways one of them says "true satisfaction doesnt come from know the answer, it comes from knowing why it is the answer." This was such an awesome quote and it really put into perspective everything in my life. I have always wanted to know everything in my future, but now I realize to understand why I want something I need to understand in my past what created that desire. My past is what truly defines me and has put me on the path I am on now. He knows why I am doing anything before I even know I will do it. I also realized that sometimes it is better to take things slower to fully enjoy them and understand why they heppened. Then I get a chance to fully understand where and why my life is going in a certain direction...

In GOD'S Will

So I know I just posted a blog but I am bored in yearbook class so I want to do another one. Have you ever had that feeling that what you are doing seems the opposite of what you want but you know what it is what God wants? Well recently it happened to me and it feels really weird and yet good at the same time. I always here stories from older people about how they wish they had done what God wanted them to do and could change their past. Well I listened to Proverbs and took some advice from some people older than me mainly my small group leader, parents, and my youth group leader. They always tell me that you should be in God's will and even though you can not see the outcome when you do it, you will when it is all over. I can not wait to see what the outcome will be but I know that it will be beneficial for me even if I have to wait a month or twenty years...

Car Rides

Car rides are almost like counseling rooms on wheels. I feel like anything important I tell anyone happens in a car. I tell my parents anything mainly for the fact that I feel they will pay more attention to the road than what I actually told them. But sometimes they do pay attention and most of the time I am glad they do. But when I am talking with friends I always feel like the car is a good place to do it. It might be the fact that it is more private and personal than a phone call or maybe it is just that I am more comfortable. I am not one hundred percent sure though but I know that I enjoy talking in the car.

College (Continued)

Well I did what I said I would and let God take control of my college decision. It was a crazy ride as I felt like I had way to many options with deadlines approaching. But, I got to meet with the soccer coach at NC State and they offered me a spot on the roster (Go Pack!) haha. I was very excited (especially since those friends in the above mentioned blog are all considering state too : - ) )

But I feel very confident in my decision and I sent in my application tonight and will find out in the next few weeks. I hope that I can continue to do all my school work even though I still know where I am going...

But I am just going to try and enjoy high school and spend time with my friends.
