Death Video

Day 2 of my adventure and I cannot express how tired I am right now. Not much of a start to my big adventure! Today I did something I've never done before.

I turned in a video project for Coffeehouse at Liberty. For those of you that don't know, Coffeehouse is a big'ole talent show for all Liberty students. You can do whatever you want, sing, dance, etc. Well I have been to my fair share of Coffeehouses and I have always wanted to make a video! So I decided to actually do it last week, and it was due today. So thanks to an enthusiastic roommate, an ideas man, and a technology guru, we got it done in less than a week! It was quite a job! I have been staying up editing this thing till 2A.M. for the past five days. Along with my sister's two showers and other homework.  If this thing doesn't make it to Coffeehouse, I'm going to cry.

It was a great feeling going to turn it in today! I have never done anything like it before and I don't regret a single moment of making it! It reflects another project I am trying to start at Liberty called "Liberty Secrets." It's inspired by Frank Warren's PostSecrets, where he asked people to make a postcard with their secret on it and send it to him. http://www.postsecret.com/ 

I love reading other people's secrets! Some are so funny and others make me want to cry. It's an amazing way for people to connect! I want to start that at Liberty. I want it to be an outlet for people and a way to connect. The blog for that is http://LibertySecrets.blogspot.com/. I'm excited to see what will happen, God has let me get this far! 

Okay, I'm done for the day... If I keep typing anymore I'm going to fall asleep on the keyyyyyyybbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 

365 New Days

Today is a very special day. It just so happens to be my birthday:) I turned 20 today, what an odd age for an even number! What's supposed to happen when I turn 20? I'm no longer a teenager, but I haven't felt like a teenager for a while. I am young. I am healthy. I am BORED.

This is a major problem! I shouldn't be bored! I am 20 years old and I feel like I am suck in a routine in life of an eighty-year-old. School. Work. Homework. God has blessed me with a great life that I have taken for granted! I do not want to feel bored with my life, it is too valueable.

As a result of this 20 year revelation I have decided to start a New Project. Every day for a whole year, starting with today, I will do something new, something different that I have never done before and I will blog about it. It doesn't have to be a huge thing, but something little can count, just as long as I have never done it before. I am done with being bored! I have an awesome loving family and an amazing boyfriend (who is gone right now which is a big contribution to my boredom).

I am ready to live my life the way God intended!

And so today for my birthday, my dad took me out to Chickfila for lunch. As I excitedly explained to him about my new project, he smiled at my enthusiasm, looked to his left and picked up a piece of paper. He turned it around for me to see and it showed an advertisemnet for a new Chickfila milkshake. "Have you ever had a banana pudding milkshake?"

And thus I was honored to share a banana pudding milkshake with my dad as my first step into this new year! I can't wait to see what God is going to show me!

 Psalm 23:6
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
   forever.

P.S. The milkshake was good, but it doesn't even come close to the peach. It probably couldn't even see the peach with a telescope.
