School is Out!!

On Friday, December 1, 2012, the fall semester ended. The semester went well despite me only getting one class. I did well through out the semester and it probably helped only having one class so I could spend all my time working on the stuff for the class.

I took my final on friday and......drum roll..........I got a 76 percent on it. I'm happy with my grade.

As for my grade in the class.............drum roll.........I got and 88 percent in the class so I got a B. I'm really happy for my grade,

Now I'm on break and I start spring semester on January 14, 2013. I am registered for 3 classes and I am waitlisted for two classes. If i get the two classes i'm waitlisted for, I will have five classes. WOW!!! It seems like alot but For someone, me, who hasn't been able to get more than two of three classes at one time, it is really exciting. 

I was looking to transfer to Azusa Pacific University but they told me to take biology, English, and Math class in one semester so hopefully it's not too late for me to reactivate my application.

Well that's all I have for you today.

P.S. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to all affected by the shooting that occured in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday. May God be with all those affected during this holiday season.

We lost 26 people but heaven gained 26 angels. May they soar on the wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. May they make their homes in the heavens and may they shoot through the sky as shooting stars. R.I.P. little angels your with Jesus now.

The Christmas Shoes

I meant to post a christmas song everyday but you know how life happens. We forget, get busy, or just dont feel like it. I hope you enjoy this song by Newsong.

I can't listen to this without getting teary eyed.

There is a movie based off of this song and there is a book of the same title, The Christmas Shoes, written by Donna Vanliere. The movie is based off of the book as well. The movie has Rob Lowe and Kimberly Williams-Paisely.

Enjoy!

God Bless,

Christmastime

In the nexf few days leading up to christmas I will be posting my favorite christmas carols and songs.

This first song is Christmastime sung by Michael W. Smith. This song has special meaning to me because when I was in the childrens choir at my church we would sing this song and the pastor, Larry Pitcher, who my church misses dearly since he retired in April, would play his trumpet. It was amazing and I miss it.

Watch this video and please tell me what you think.

Enjoy.

Dressing Modestly

Before I get in dressing modestly and telling you why I do it. I would like to first tell you what the definition of modest or modesty is.

In the Scott Foresman Intermediate Dictionary, modest is defined as not thinking too highly of oneself, not vain; humble, held back by a sense of what is fit and proper; not bold or forward; bashful; shy, not displaying or calling attention to one's body. Modesty is defined as freedom from vanity; being modest or humble, shyness, bashfulness, not displaying or calling attention to one's body.

Now that I've said what modesty is, I can now say why I dress modestly.

I watch the show 19 kids and counting with the Duggar family and I really enjoy watching how they interact with their family and others around them. The family as a whole chooses to dress modestly and they do so as to not draw attention to their bodies but to their countenance, face, and their personalities. I myself began to dress in skirts slowly last year then in April I went all in with dressing in skirts and dressing modestly. I have worn pants, shorts and capris but I feel more comfortable and lady like when I'm in dresses or skirts.

As some of you may know, different cultures have their own ideas of what is modest and what is not. For example, modesty to me is making sure your breasts are not visible and girls arent continuously having to pull up their tops because their chest is falling out of their tops. Another thing I find modest is loose fitting clothing such as shirts and pants. I feel that tight fitting jeans or skinny jeans or jeggings are not modest because they draw attention to how the body is shaped and, by watching my neice, they are constently riding down and can show a girls backside if shes not wearing a long enough top or jacket. I love loose fitting clothing because I am comfortable, cooler, and when I wear a shirt that isn't loose fitting I feel like the shirt has shrunk or I'm going to be like the Incredible Hulk and rip my shirt if I breath a certain way, move a certain way and I also feel that I can move more freely since it's loose.

Some people may say you cant do anything in a skirt but I must disagree. With a big enough skirt a lady can go horseback riding, I have gone to Disneyland and Knotts berry farm in a skirt and have had no problems getting on and off the rides and moving around.

So I guess Im going to wrap up this post.

Have a great day and God bless you and your families.
