Intergrating Faith

Montreat as a whole has followed this vision very well if your talking about the liberal arts type college but we also do things the way of a church-related college. So if anyone doubts that Montreat doesnt have the faith vision, they should probley think again because we a "forced" to go to chapel and convo on tuesdays and thursdays . Also our classes have a christian base to them. Teachers like to incorperaite the bible in most of their classes.
One good hing that this college does to help the faith become intergrated here is asa college they bring in other people from around the nation to speak to us no matter what they believe in. We hae had people from all religions coming in and telling us everything they know. People from charities come in and talk to us. Most of the time the messages spoken will make youthink is what your doing right and thats what i love about it.
If Montreat could do one thig better it would make more chapels then what we have. Most people dont like convo and would rather go to chapel. I tink if we had more oppertunity to go to chapel people would be coming more often.

The last couple of days

Well you know how life throws you curve balls well ive gotten a few and what have i done...struck out. It just seems like nothing wants to go the way i want. But thats life. Well all i ever do is work and to top it off it just seems like my boyfriend and i just cant get along. Everything is coming at me so fast and it hurts. I havent been home since ive been here and i am really missing my mom. But what does that matter when they dont matter...well thats what some people tell you. However i cant seem to understand why people say that. Some people believe you should put them before everything but i dont believe that. Im not about to give up everything i have worked for to please one person that isnt who i am. But do i really know who i am? I guess the one way to find out is to continue to grow in my faith My mom once told me that in order to please soeone else you have to please yourself first. Now that i look back on that i see the truth in it. Without being happy yourself, you dont know what the point of doing anything is. Ive loved every minute ive spent up here but something just make it harder. Why do these things keep coming at me? Well i think its because God is testing me and my faith. In a way i am thankful that he is because ive failed once at keeping my faith and i am determined not to this time because i want more than anything to be the person he wants me to be.

Isnt life wierd

I think its funny how one day everything is going one way and another the other day. It just simply amazing how you can find what your purpose is in just matter of minutes. Today in Chapel the speaker spoke about stories. These stories he said is what we follow. He mentioned a couple of fairtales that he compared to the way God works in our life. For instance he said God can turn something ugly in to beauty like the love did to the beast in Beauty and the Beast. He also said how Peter Pan was always surching for freedom and how God can lead us there so we arent ever like Peter. Its amazing how thirty minutes can change the way you think. It sure change me.

Going crazy

Have you ever just had one problem that became worse and worse and never seemed like it was gonna get better...well that is where i am at. On a positive not...Ali and i ran to the gate and it felt good....well until we relaxed then we felt like falling apart. Well back to before. It just seems like nothing is happening like i planned...ive put it all in Gods hand and trying not to ask why, but im finding it hard not to. I just want everything to be ok and that everything will happen the way i would like. Everybody has issues but why...Only God can anwser that.
