Thoughts on Figuring it Out

I sit here today, writing this, anxiously waiting for my summer in Madison to start. Today it is hitting a little closer to home as I have found out that I will be funded for the summer!! WOOHOO! That now comes with me feeling a little more nervous and excited at the same time. I can wait for this summer, but I can't wait for this summer. But alas I have been funded for this summer and I can't express how excited I am for that fact. This is going to be a summer of growing and I will end up embracing it with all I am.

Three Gifts Waited For: To be done with my exam. I've been waiting for this day for a good few weeks.  My new Sevenly shirt. I really like my new shirt and am glad it finally came! The nice weather, it's finally in the 50's or above for the foreseeable future!

I just finished one of the most stressful, frustrating, tiring and gut wrenching weeks of my life thus far, an exam on Monday, a presentation later in the week in which a 5PM meeting with the professor on Tuesday told us to do more research. We did hours of research, which lasted until one PM on Thursday. Thursday night we finalized the PowerPoint and quickly went over our presentation. Come this morning at 11AM we were giving our presentation. I did not feel prepared at all! Reading papers to present on research that others had completed, I felt I knew nothing. In the moments before class I felt I could lose my breakfast. My mom put it best that morning. She told me that I was the one that knew the information the best and that I would be fine. She spoke a lot of truth into my life. I’m so blessed because of her. My performance today does not, I repeat, does not , define me. I’m worth so much more and however this semester turns out I am still Charissa, a child of His. It’s not a def...

I find it offensive that Christians would leverage faith to support the Kansas law. Serving people we don’t see eye to eye with is the essence of Christianity. Jesus died for a world with which he didn’t see eye to eye. If a bakery doesn’t want to sell its products to a gay couple, it’s their business. Literally. But leave Jesus out of it.  He later went on to state: "Jesus taught that if a person is divorced and gets remarried, it's adultery. So if (Christians) don't have a problem doing business with people getting remarried, why refuse to do business with gays and lesbians."
