Today could have been one of the coolest days of my life. Hands down. But it wasn’t.
Why you ask? Well let me tell you.
So I’ve been following @donaldmilleris on twitter since I found out he had one. That’s the author Donald Miller, for those who don’t know. I’m a big fan of his books: Blue [...]

Have a Good Day
This semester I’m lucky enough to be able to eat breakfast in our cafeteria everyday, something I never was able to do before. I like it so much, because it’s very slow paced and I have plenty of time to do as I wish before class.
I normally eat breakfast by myself -there are normally about [...]

My New TOMS Came In!
I’ve posted before about the company TOMS Shoes and what they do, but here is more. I recently, as in today, received a new pair of TOMS in the mail. They’re super cool. They are the Charcoal Grey Stichouts. Super stylish and comfortable, they are one of my favorite pair of shoes.

I’ve Left My Heart In China
…but I’ve never even been there.
Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday I fall in love with China all over again. See, I’m taking an Elementary Chinese course this semester, and I have just grown so close to the culture and language. My professor is an amazing lady from the Shandong province of China. She has such [...]

So last week or so I went to this TOMS Shoes, “Style Your Sole” Party…absolutely the greatest thing. What it is is this company, TOMS, sells very simply designed-yet comfortable- shoes and you get to design what you want on them. They start of looking like this:
I Love My
TOMS Shoes.
Help spread the word about [...]

Ananias and His Wife
Today I’ve felt unfocused, confused, and both mentally and physically sick. During my classes I was unable to pay attention and write notes…I couldn’t carry on a conversation with a person I normally talk to for hours on end…and I also just wanted to do nothing but sleep because I felt so gross inside, like [...]

The Whole Idea of Obedience
These past couple of days I’ve been reading through the book of Haggai, all two chapters, and really learning about obedience to God. I know the concept of obedience and the need to be obedient, but I still don’t really understand and show obedience to God in all facets of my life.
So in reading the [...]

Journey to the #10 Swimming Hole in Texas
Recently the magazine Texas Monthly published an article about the top 25 swimming holes in the state of Texas. These ranged from the literal swimming hole to even water parks. This article was published at a prime time, when the heat of the summer is at its highest of the season and when people are [...]

Breaking Bread with a Man of Many Talents
People have always fascinated me. Any kind of people. I find interest in people who spend their lives in and out of prison, people who have traveled the world over, people who live to experience, and people who’s lives are full of stories from all they have done. Today I was lucky enough, though it [...]
