LiveJournal and Xanga

::mood:: very grateful
::iTunes:: Africa by Toto

It's only 1 PM and today is already such a good day. Here's why!

So, I found Annie's livejournal through Sam's blog and was really excited because I think it's sweet that she still uses livejournal. I thought it would be really good to check out my livejournal. The majority of my posts are from 2005. It was SO weird to read my old posts. I have changed SO much. Seriously, I'm a different person.

Some things I realized about myself:
1. I have gained so much wisdom in the past 2 years.
2. My taste in music used to really suck. I said that 2 of my favorite artists were Usher and Trickdaddy!! What was I thinking!!! The only 2 artists that I still like are Madonna (80's) and Oasis.
3. I am way more sensitive to the movies/tv shows I watch now. I used to not care about nudity in movies.
4. Apparently I've been passionate about Africa for a few years...but, now I care way more about spreading the gospel, before I cared only about meeting physical needs. I still do care about meeting physical needs but now I care more about meeting spiritual needs.
5. I swear a lot less now
6. I had a big heart for people then and now (that's not supposed to sound conceited).
7. My relationships with people were so unhealthy
8. I didn't care about dressing modestly back then.
9. I had 2 Christian friends out of a lot
10. This was about the time that I started hating school. I even said in one of my posts, "School has been depressing to me a lot this year...and it never has before." I still feel this way!!!

Altogether, reading the old posts just made me feel so good about how much my life has changed. It made me really grateful for the life I have now. My friends are really good and I always feel really blessed because of them. God has grown me so much in the past 2 years and it's exciting to keep on growing.

I have had a hard semester and that's ok. For some reason I think it makes me "unspiritual" because I'm not content with things in my life. I shouldn't feel bad about doing what I want to do...and that's to not go to school. I need stop being so hard on myself. God isn't disappointed in me.

That's all! I feel good.
