Thoughts
Why do so many single people claim to be "alone"? I think this is such foolishness. A lot of these people come from good families, have good friends, and may even have pets to play with. I think, that in our society and in ALL societies, females are taught that we cannot function without a "love interest" or "boyfriend". I used to be one of those girls...jumping from one relationship to another, and never really giving myself time to think and to grow. I always worried about pleasing whoever I was dating at the time, rather than spending time with just myself and my goals. Lately, I have had so much time to think and reprioritize...it's amazing. I feel that God is nearer to me than He has been for a long time, and that I am on the way up, rather than down. This semester, I plan on having A's, paying my credit cards down, and to continue getting in shape like I have been. I am so excited for the opportunities that I've been given, and can't wait to make them a reality!

Today :-)
Today, in general, was a good day. I worked this morning, didnt get kidnapped (lol), but at work I got this really trippy phone call...I tried to be polite to her but she was foreign and wouldn't get the message that NO I could not turn the store upside down while looking for a black, drawstring linen Liz Claiborne pair of pants. Goodness.
After that, Leah came in, and her knee was entirely bloodied...she had fell down and I was so proud of myself...I didn't even get queasy when looking at it. :-D Yeah, I'm a nerd.
Then Mom came and we went to Lamont to go pick up oranges from this nice lady and her husband, and they HOOKED us UP! We got three boxes from them...it was awesome :-D
Now I am roasting some chicken with olive oil, rosemary, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar. It smells amazing already, but it still has a while to cook.
I am so tired...I think my job is really draining me tired. I always look forward so much to going home, because I don't have to try to impress people, and it's nice. There are some people who I genuinely like and don't have to try hard to joke with, but there are some people who you just don't click with, and those are generally the people who find something to complain about.
*sigh*
I can't wait until I'm done with my degree. My mother told me that I will see many people die, but as a Christian, our lives are oriented towards our deaths, when our lives are sealed. Dying doesn't frighten me very much...I just think of those left behind. I am looking forward to doing this...and I pray that I will succeed. If I don't, I'll be back at square one again. But I have to try. :-D
Love,
*Sara Marie*

थे Joy of the LORD
The last few days, I have been on such a spiritual high. Such a spiritual high that I have not come down yet. All of the outside world swirls around my head but my heart is not touched by the filth of the Earth. Not anymore.
For the past few days, I have been drowning out everything that I possibly can. All of the "love" music, the depressing rock music, the music with a "good beat" but disgusting lyrics, as well as TV...I have drowned it all out and feel so very different already, and it's only been a few days!
See, our culture is desensitized to everything these days. It's the liberal agenda: push a little, back off when you meet opposition, then push a little harder again. And it's what our culture has done! TV started out as something rather wholesome, but it has become so very corrupt in these later years. It seems like the American people are unplugging their consciences and letting a glowing box in the corner dictate morality. TV brings the pressures of society and dumps them into your living room or bedroom...home is not even a place of refuge from outside influences.
But all of that aside, I made a trip to Berean book store, and found WONDERFUL software programs for only $9.97 each. They each have several different translations of the Bible on there, as well as Fox's book of Martyrs, Paradise Lost, etc. The complete works of Josephus are on there, also. I am very excited about it! I want to begin writing again, so that software with all of the references will definitely be a big help!
