God is incredible.

You know...sometimes I sit here, and wonder about life. How do we know what we are really called to do? How do we know if we are living the dream that God planned for us? There is so much in my life that I wanted to do differently, and when I look back now and see where I have been and where I am now it's amazing. TO be able to stand here and express the love to others I have for Christ, and yet be a new person aside from who I was when I was 18 is amazing. It's amazing to begin to understand how much love God has for me, and for all of us. I mean, for those of you who knew me in high school and my first semester of college, I wasn't the best person. I was selfish, shallow, rude, and so much more. I was such a person of this world. And then, I remeber who I've become and it's incredible. To know that God changed my life so much brings me to tears. It leaves me hope to know that if He can turn someone into something so much stronger, and so much more full of pure joy then He truly can do anything.

God is incredible. God is love. God is everything we could never imagine and more. God is the beginning and the end.

Talk about gentleman-like...



Keep in mind...not really an A&M fan...until tonight.

So, tonight I took my sister (who's a freshman at Collin College) to a transfer college fair. When we got there the place was packed with over 30 people standing in the back (which is where we were). This advisor from A&M gets up to speak on the panel and the first thing he does is commend this guy in the back that gave his seat up for a lady. And then he said, "come on guys, can we show some compassion for the ladies?"

These two guys in front of my sister and I are the first to get up after the Aggie guy said that; I was in a kind of shock. And you see all these men get up to give their seats to girls. It was really awesome and yet so simple. What ever happened to compassion and caring like that. And I'm not even talking about just when guys give up their seats for girls or hold the doors open for them, but what about when people do the same for disabled or elderly people? I mean, I know I try my best to go out of my way to help others when the opportunity is there, but what about the rest of America? When was the last time you showed compassion? Or like the organization from high schools across the U.S. "Random Acts of Kindness?"

Go out there tomorrow, and show some compassion.
