Just as I am
{Part of} A hymn written by Charlotte Elliott in 1835:
Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidst me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, thy love unknown
hath broken every barrier down;
now, to be thine, yea thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
{Despite its age, it's still perfectly relevant!}

A Million Little Things
A million little things distract me from God. . . At times I can't even discern His presence. It's not because He's not there, it's because I block Him out.
A million little things distract me from God. . . I spend more time online than I do praying or reading the Bible.
A million little things distract me from God. . . And, their eternal value is nothing.

Holding Out-
Recently I’ve had quite a few discussions about dating/marriage/ family and the like. Of course, I think about these types of things often. I just don’t typically blog about them. But I’m breaking out of my meek-little-blog mode and telling it like it is:
I have never dated.
I guess I hadn’t really realized how out of the ordinary that is until recently. (I don’t know if that’s a good type of naivety or bad.) Anyway, before you go painting a holier-than-thou picture in your head about me, I must confess, it’s not that I haven’t wanted to date. No, my perpetual state of singleness has been primarily because I haven’t had the opportunity to date.
While this truth was certainly a source of vexation for me in the past, I have learned to truly appreciate the fact I don’t have a scarred heart. I’m 20, I’m single, and I like it. Is that wrong!? Of course I go through little bouts of discontentedness (who doesn’t?), but in general I enjoy the knowledge that God knows the desires of my heart and I don’t have to bend over backwards to find myself a man!
If there is a man involved in God’s plan for my future, great! I’ll completely embrace it when it comes, but in the meantime I doubt you’ll find me pining-away. Nope! I’ll be out living my life!

Research. . .
I have a HUGE term project for my political science class due all too soon. But the research process has allowed me to stumble on some really thought provoking material. Not only from the realm of politics and litigation, but also in things that are more tangible to everyday living. Here is one video that I thought would be a complete waste of my time. I found it to be intriguing, however, and would recommend it to anyone with a spare hour on their hands.
*HA! As if anyone would admit to having a spare hour to watch a video such as this. But I can pretend I'm not the only one on the planet who watches stuff like this right!?*
Anyway, I hope that someone out there can appreciate it. :)

A post without a point
I often feel like the times when I'm in the bloggiest* of moods. . . I can think of nothing world changing to say. I know this sounds freakishly geeky but I read blogs a lot! I enjoy them. It's fun to see what the rest of the world has to say in a creative and artistic way.
I've found that there are so many amazing women out there who work and/or go to school, have a husband and kids, and STILL manage to decorate their houses, create a photography website, bake delicacies, change people's lives, and BLOG about it all! It almost makes me want to throw in the towel as I doubt I will ever accomplish such feats. . . but then where would I be? Blogless.
And that would be sad to me. There's a certain sense of accomplishment that comes from writing a blog. Just the knowledge that it CAN be read by other people is exciting. So here I write, without a purpose. . . simply for the sake of posting a blog and sending out into the blogosphere with a little piece of my current state of mind.
