I’ve made a discovery!

I was staring at my palm the other day wondering what the lines on our palms mean. I mean, we see fortune-tellers on TV point to the lines on a person’s hands and pull out information from their butt about how that middle line signifies how long their life is going to be, or when they’ll meet that special someone, or even how prosperous he’ll end up being during his life….lol! But God is so much more than that!However, b/c im a Christian and I have sense and know that God didn’t create lines on our hands for fortune-tellers to make a couple extra bucks, i think I have made a discovery about them. I will feel really dumb if you’ve alreeady figured this out or have learned about this in a class or something but here it goes: After 19 years of living in this body, I have noticed that everywhere you bend, there’s a line! HAHA! Well, look at that! Try it!

Think about it: Even your fingers have lines which enables you to bend your fingers. Your wrist can bend (there’s lines on both sides of your wrists) Your toes, your feet, on and under your knee caps, and your neck! It’s crazy! So in conclusion, God gave us these stange little markings (unique on every person i might add) so that we can bend our bodies and have the freedom to move properly. I love God. Sometimes some of the most unnecessary things that we assume aren’t important, end up being one of the most essential gifts He has given us.

Ok so….have you ever been just going along in life to realize that you suck at it? That’s what I felt like today. Don’t worry, I’m not having an emotional breakdown or anything I just never realized how much improvement I need on writing a college paper. Ususally I get papers back and I get “B’s” but not this time-no, this time I got a 75%. YUCK! Ok, so i know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, wow Krista, i totally expected you to say a D or an F (although there are no “F’s” in college it’s an “E”). HOWEVER (geesh! let me finish…) my paper was totally written up like bad though. This teacher wrote, and i quote “Your thesis is unclear, many sentences outright confusing. Review paianthetical quotations and the writing guidlines.” OUCH! I honestly wanted to cry, i think that’s the worst critic from a writing paper I have ever gotten. So thank God she’s letting me rewrite the paper but I have to go to her office hours. This sucks! These next two weeks are going to be a challenge–you know when you can just feel things in your spirit? Well I feel it. Today I felt God tell me “now don’t freak out but you’re going to be up for a challenge this next week”. Everything in me wants scream “NO PLEASE!” but a little part of me is sort of up for the challenge…although my eye twitches just typing that. I have 2 papers (now 3 including this rewrite) all due by next week, plus a spanish presentation sometime whenever the teacher would like to notify us when. Ugh! It just sucks. Though I do feel like God is telling me to step things up these next two weeks with school work. Like, how can I expect to be an English teacher if I won’t allow correction into my life? Not to mention there will be some chaotic times (im only sure) and I need to make sure that above all else, my focus and emotions are on God. I know that no matter how hard things can get God still controls all, and He knows all. He won’t give me anything I can’t handle. Pray for me ya’ll.

P.S. Do u have a good friend that ALWAYS gets A’s!?!?! Lets kill them all. :)


The In-Between time

So I have been thinking a lot lately about what exactly it means to be a woman of God. Being at the University of Arizona is like such an eye-opener to me. I really feel like I’m growing here and finding a piece of God I never knew. But not only finding Him, also finding myself and what it means to really just be content in this in-between place in my life. Brit (my best friend and roomie) and I are taking this class at the church we go to on sundays here in Tucson. It’s a woman class designed to help woman of all ages come to terms with God during the in-between times. The times when nothing seems to be happening and the time when it feels like everythin needs to be happening. Where are Your promises God? We’ve only been to one class so far and I have to say how amazing it is to just have fellowship among these amazing woman who all yearn for the same thing: hope. We’re all holding onto His promises but none of us see them happening. As I get older, I’m beginning to understand how time really isn’t as long to me as it was when I was 10 years old. There’s this urgency to want to get out there and begin everything I feel I’m supposed to be by the time I’m 22. Yet NEWS FLASH for me, 19 is still young and there’s still a lot of in-between transformation I have to go through before I end up where I want to be. One of the most amazing things that I’m coming to terms with in my life is that the in-between times should be fun and exhilerating because it’s just me and my dependence on God. There’s no man in my life I have to try to please and there’s no demanding career yet that requires most of my attention. I praise God for these in-between days because this is where I really change. The transformation from the girl to the woman. And no one can help me do that properly except for the Father who sees all the plans for my life laid out perfectly.
