Runners, take your mark!!!


Well, this weekend I am heading down to Charleston with some girlfriends to run the Cooper River Bridge Run. I ran it last year and loved it! My friend Bailey and her sisters go every year and last year, she and I trained together for it. This year there is a new bridge with one HUGE hill...that is the part that I am dreading...But Charleston has the beach, so everything is going to be great!! Look for some fun pics to come!!!

Trying to save the world with the "Healing Machine"...


So, I have this professor who thinks that he has a "machine" that can heal people...yea, crazy I know. Perhaps it looks something like the pic, but I am not sure...

I thought that once I got to college that I would gain knowledge from professors , however, now I am not sure. He is convinced that he can use this machine to heal people of diseases, mental problems, etc....I tend to think that he has some mental problems of his own...

The other day in class he told us that anyone can go on the machine, he just to know their birthday and the town where they were born. In fact, he said that he can put people in other states or countries on the machine too through"subspace"...yea right. He claims that all his findings are about quantum physics, but I don't think that physics ever involved "healing people."

You know the thing that startles me the most is not the craziness of his ideas, but the fact the he is trying to play a role that he was not created for- GOD. Anyone who tries to take power and have control over those things which God has ordained to be His, is messing around with things of which he has no control.

I am convinced that although my professor seems to convince himself that he is going to save the world, he is going to fail trying. He should have heard the words of Jim Elliott, a missionary, who had a proper perspective on this world, "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

Everyone, please buckle your seat belts.....


So, I am counting down the days until summer break and just in case you are wondering, there are 42!! After finishing school, I am heading out of the country for the summer....to the delightful country of Wales! Yes, I am traveling with 5 other college students to be an intern at a church there. I am staying with a Welsh family over there with one other girl intern that is from Erskine College. I spoke with one of the Welsh pastors and he told me that only 5% of the population claim to be christians and 3% are female and over 60. So most the college and young adults are not familar with the gospel, but however,they are very open to hearing the Word. The pastor also told me that there are 7 sheep for every one person. ...sounds pretty crazy, huh? I am so excited about the opportunity that God has given to me and I hope that I will be an example of His love and mercy. Please pray that God will use us while we are there and I will be using this blog to update you guys about all the news!!

Fun Pics!!






Here are some pics from Spring break!! Good times with the girls!

Back to Reality.....


Well, the beach was fab and we had incredible weather!! 75 degrees and gorgeous everyday!!! Except for the fact that we all got slightly sunburned, a good time was had by all. I just have to say I don't think that I can ever get enough of laying in sun all day, making smoothies , and watching girly movies all night...By the way, "Pride and Prejudice" is the best movie ever! And yes, we did watch it 3 times in a four day period...Can ya tell that we are a little fanatic about it? We are all waiting for that "Mr.Darcy" to enter our lives and until he arrives, we are going to keep watching this movie! Well, spring break is already almost half over and I am amazed..Luckily, classes are over in 5 weeks and then we will be free for summer! Pics from the beach are on the way, so look for them soon!

Giving in is never easy....


SO, I finally did it...I gave in and got a blog. My friend marie is a bloggin' queen and I guess now having a blog is supposed to make me computer literate, but I don't think that it will work!! Computers and I have a hard time getting along sometimes. So, anyways, I guess that I am extremely cool or "hip" ( that is SO a 90's word!!) now that I have a blog, so I am expecting all of my blogger friends to comment...I think this bloggin is going to be fun!! Believe me, there it going to be more to come!!!
P.S. So, I added this pic because I am so excited about spring, the flowers blooming, and the fact that I can wear filp flops again!!!
