I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away
I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands

What it Means to Be a Man
I have results! From my surveys atleast...I surveyed 100 people, asked them certain questions and now, I am sharing my results with you :)
I surveyed 4 categories of people: women age 24 and younger, women age 25 and older, men age 24 and younger, and men 25 and older.
For women 24 and younger - 90% of them that I surveyed said that a guy's physical appearance made them most masculine. 93% of them also said that a guy's compassion and awareness of others is their most prominent characteristic. 90% said that being a spiritual leader was a man's most important role to play in the family. 100% of them said that men should be involved in household chores :) And 93% of them said that the #1 thing that they look for in a guy is their loyalty and honesty.
For women 25 and older - 87% of them that I surveyed said that a guy's role in relationships made them most masculine. 81% of them also said that a guy's loyalty is their most prominent characteristic. 83% said that being a spiritual leader was a man's most important role to play in the family. 93% of them said that men should be involved in household chores. And 81% of them said that the #1 thing that they look for in a guy is their loyalty and honesty.
For men 24 and younger - 87% of them that I surveyed said that a guy's role in relationships made them most masculine. 83% of them also said that a guys authoritative and domineering character was most prominent. 92% said that being a spiritual leader was a man's most important role to play in the family. 97% of them said that men should be involved in household chores. And 85% of them said that the #1 characteristic they expect in a guy is their loyalty and honesty.
For men 25 and older - 87% of them that I surveyed said that a guy's role in relationships made them most masculine. 81% of them also said that a guys authoritative and domineering character was most prominent. 85% said that being a spiritual leader was a man's most important role to play in the family. 93% of them said that men should be involved in household chores. And 85% of them said that the #1 characteristic they expect in a guy is their leadership and servanthood.
Some observations - With the first group, I agree, younger women tend to focus most on a man's appearance than any other aspect. 100% of them believed that men should do chores around the house! I think men should be involved in house work as well :) For the second group, women look mainly for how men lead in their relationships; after all, this is the time in their lives they are looking for marriage. They want to see who can lead and who can't. Only 93% believe men should be involved in household chores; maybe they have had experience with some of this and rather just do it their own way? :) For the younger men group, I agree with what they think is the most prominent characteristic; in society, men are viewed as the authority figure in most situations. This group also has a high percentage who say that men should be involved in household chores; most of them must have not been under a lady's instruction and given specific orders on cleaning :) The last group, the older men, also believe that men are authoritative and domineering; I believe it is good to be a leader, but not to abuse that leadership. In today's society, several have crossed the line on what leadership really is and turn out to be selfish and bossy. There are, however, many out there who take the role of a servant leader and play it well. The same percentage of this group was even with that of the older women when it came to household chores; they must have taken part of a woman's chore routine and wish to never return :)
All of this information is for my Sociology presentation; the one that I have shared research and interesting information about in the past. All I have to do is present it! I can't WAIT until it is over :) One more thing to check off my list; one step closer to summer!

April Showers...
Who knows if they bring May flowers, but today they got me wet! Not rain...the automatic sprinklers! Since when did we get automatic sprinklers?! We didn't have them at the beginning of the year; since tuition went up, maybe they decided to use the extra money for sprinklers?
I was walking to lab today and all of a sudden the sprinklers turned on. They were obviously malfunctioning because they were watering the sidewalk (and myself), and not the grass.
This needs to be put at the top of the priority list for grounds keeping to fix because I am not a fan of wearing wet jeans. Please and thank you

SUCCESS
"Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self satisfaction in knowing you have made the effort to become the best that you are capable of becoming."
This is a quote by Coach John Wooden and is one of my favorites. If you feel the need to read something on inspiration, success, or leadership pick up one of Wooden's books...one AWESOME and knowledgeable man!
One thing that I like about this quote is that it reminds me that we do not have to be perfect, God just wants us to put forth our best effort. We will fail, but as long we are giving our all, God is pleased. God made us, He knows all about us; He knows we are not perfect, therefore, He doesn't expect us to be.
What is success? John Wooden proposes that there are about 15 aspects that make up success:
1)Industriousness - we have to work...and work HARD. Give everything you got! It consists more of just going through the motions. "You can work without being industrious, but you cannot be industrious without work."
2)Friendship - the most important aspects of relationships are respect and camaraderie. There must be a spirit of goodwill between the two individuals of a friendship. If you respect someone, you will give everything you have to help them.
3)Loyalty - be loyal to everyone who you may impact...that's what people look for in a leader.
4)Cooperation - we must be willing to work with others if we want to accomplish anything. "To get cooperation, you have to give cooperation." You are not the only person with good ideas. If you wish to be heard, take time to listen. Always seek to find the best way rather than insisting that your way is the best.
5)Enthusiasm - you must love what you do. Without enthusiasm, you cannot work to your fullest ability or potential.
6)Self Control - this is essential for discipline and in order to master your emotions. You cannot function effectively unless your emotions are under control. When your self-discipline breaks down, your judgment and common sense suffer. "Control your self so that others won't have to do it for you."
7)Alertness - look at the big picture! As you strive to accomplish goals, keeping the big picture in perspective will make those tasks much easier. Observe constantly; be quick to spot a weakness and to correct it.
8)Initiative - have the courage to make decisions and act on them. Do not fear failure; if you are afraid to fail, you will never do the things you are capable of doing. Use good judgment; initiate quickly but not carelessly.
9)Intentness - determination, persistence, tenacity, perseverance. It is the ability to resist temptation and stay the course; concentrate on the goal at hand with determination and resolve. Do not give up on the road to achievement no matter how tough it gets.
10)Condition - you must identify your conditioning requirements and then attain them. Without proper conditioning in all areas, you will fall short of your potential.
11)Skill - you have to know what you're doing and be able to do it quickly and properly. Execute! More skill with less experience is of greater worth than more experience with less skill. It requires learning; be a lifelong learner.
12)Team Spirit - "an eagerness to sacrifice personal interest or glory for the welfare of all."
13)Poise - be true and balanced...regardless of the situation at hand. Do not panic under pressure; hold fast to your principles and act in accordance with them.
14)Confidence - earned by tenaciously pursuing and attaining assets that help you reach your highest level of competency. Reap confidence, not arrogance.
15)Competitive Greatness - a real love for the real battle, knowing it offers the opportunity to be at your best when your best is required. "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."

The Personality DISC
We had an RA retreat this weekend, and to prepare for it, our RD's asked us to complete a personality test online. It was a very thorough test and gave us 15 pages of information on our personality. Before I sat down to read it, I figured it couldn't be that accurate. But, to my surprise, there were only a couple things in the 15 pages that I disagreed with.
The test divides personalities into 4 categories:
D - dominant, driver
I - influencing, inspiring
S - steady, stable
C - correct, compliant
A 'D' person is assertive, to the point, and wants the bottom line; some tend to be forceful, direct, and strong willed. They seek control. Their strengths include administration, leadership, and determination; their challenges consist of impatience, insensitivity, and being a poor listener. They dislike inefficiency and indecision. When communicating and maintaining a relationship with a 'D' person, you may tend to view them as argumentative, dictatorial, arrogant, domineering, nervous, and hasty.
An 'I' person is a great communicator and is friendly to everyone they meet; most tend to be optimistic, friendly, and talkative. They seek recognition. Their strengths include persuasion, enthusiasm, and entertainment; their challenges consist of a lack of detail, a short attention span, and low follow through. They dislike routine and complex situations. When communicating and maintaining a relationship with an 'I' person, you may tend to view them as egotistical, superficial, inattentive, and overly optimistic.
An 'S' person is a good listener and a great team player; most tend to be steady, patient, loyal, and practical. They seek acceptance. Their strengths include listening, teamwork, and good follow through; their challenges consist of being oversensitive, slow to begin tasks, and a dislike for change. They are turned off by those who get impatient. When communicating and maintaining a relationship with an 'S' person, you may tend to view them as dependable, self controlled, patient, kind, and attentive.
A 'C' person enjoys gathering facts and details and tends to be thorough in all activities; most tend to be precise, sensitive, and analytical. They seek accuracy. Their strengths include planning and orchestration; their challenges consist of being a perfectionist, critical, and unresponsive. They dislike disorganization and are very methodical in their decision making. When communicating and maintaining a relationship with a 'C' person, you may tend to view them as overly dependent, defensive, and too focused on detail.

Modern Maturity
When do we become adults? What is maturity? When we get our drivers license? When we graduate from high school? When we become a "legal adult"? When we graduate with a degree? When we get married? When we have kids? WHEN?!
Everyone has different views on when we reach adulthood. But, what do those questions above have in common? They all have to do with a certain age, right? We get our drivers license in high school, we graduate from high school when we are 18, we are a legal adult at age 21, we graduate at around age 22, get married at around age 25, and have kids before we're 30! Yes, I have opinions and ideas on when one turns into an adult. But, for me, it doesn't depend on age....it depends on maturity.
In today's society, I believe we lack in educating our "adults-to-be" in transitioning from children to adults. Yes, adulthood varies from person to person. What does this mean? Well, not everyone gets the same type of degree...some go onto more schooling because that's what is most important to them. This type of person thinks that a spouse and family can wait...they are solely career minded for the time being. And that is perfectly fine! On the other hand there are others who go to college mainly to get hitched...they earn a degree so that they will meet someone else who is working for a degree and when they are married, have 2.5 kids, and live in a big house surrounded by a white picket fence their life is complete!
Today, we are spoiled! We think once we graduate we can move out of the dorms into a house ATLEAST the size of our parent's house now, buy that SUV, finally wear all of the designer clothes we like, and decorate our house right out of the pottery barn magazine. WRONG! Instead of being a poor college kid we will be a poor career woman/man or poor wife/husband/couple! We got to start out small, make smart choices, and go from there...where ever God takes us with happy thoughts mind you :)
For adults-to-be, a definition of what maturity needs to look like today : Create more, consume less.
What does THAT mean?!
As kids, we are consumers. Our parents set up our activities for us, we just had to sit back and enjoy them. We lived in their house, ate their food, and used their stuff. We used their free time and lots of their money. We made little impact on the world and had little ownership of our lives. In other words, we were dependent.
This is perfectly acceptable and expected...but our parents don't want this going on forever! But sadly, a lot of us aren't outgrowing this passive role. Some people are in their upper twenties and living in their parent's basement simply because of their sheer laziness.
We are dependent on "stuff" for our happiness. Instead, we need to take the gifts and abilities God has given us and create! Make a difference in your life so that you can impact others. The difference here is that when we create, our capacity for satisfaction increases as opposed to our need for satisfaction. When we create, we are initiating and are content and thankful for what God has done.
A big difference between consuming and creating is the idea of discipline and commitment. When we consume, we don't have to commit to anything. When we get bored or aren't satisfied anymore, we can just move on to the next thing. But when we create we have to commit everything; we have to surrender to God by letting Him make the calls and follow through on His plan. We must discipline our self to deny ourselves and to make God's desires our desires.
So what does consuming and creating have to do with growing up? Well, if we want to grow up and be treated like an adult we have to be proactive. We can't just sit back and let others make our lives for us. We must make an impact and create our world instead of consume it. Sounds hard! But, with God, all things are possible :) We are His workmanship; God didn't design us to just sit around and look pretty. He designed us as His light, to influence others in a positive way.
It doesn't matter how old we are...we just need to grow up! Pursue the life God has given us and embrace it.

"You Look Tired"
is another phrase for "Wow, what happened to you? You look horrible!"
Why do I know these phrases coincide with each other? Because people only tell me that I look tired when I have had a stressful day and the last thing I am worried about is my appearance. Today for example:
I had to get up at 6 (yes, this is early for a college student) to make breakfast for the softball team as a project for my nutrition class. So, I showed up to breakfast in sweats, minimal makeup, and wet hair.
I was in a decent mood until the rest of the day decided to happen -
My financial aid packet dropped $5000 for next year (until we get it fixed hopefully!)
My meeting with my advisor went in the opposite direction I wanted it to.
They put hummus on my sandwich (which I didn't know) and I currently have a stomach ache.
And with an upset stomach, I got to go to lab for 3 hours and dissect a pig's stomach...awesome.
Yes, some of the things that I mentioned were minor and really didn't put me in a horrible mood, it just hasn't been the greatest day I have ever had. And really, I think I did a pretty good job of hiding my troubles.
Also, I haven't felt tired ONCE today! But yet, THREE times I have received the comment "you look tired".
What do you say to that? "well I'm not." - that's weird. After all, looking at my pitiful state in the mirror I would say I looked tired too. But, I had no time to take another shower, change my outfit, straighten my hair, or apply more make up; so, I just smiled.
When people say I look tired, I then feel like I have to be tired. After all, I look tired so I should be right? Well, tomorrow that's not going to happen; tomorrow will be a wonderful, wide-eyed, Wednesday :)
