I moved into my dorm at MSU today. I'm excited, nervous, and bored all at once. I got here a few days before my roommates so I'm kickin it solo for awhile. After everything was put in its place and unpacked, I went to the grocery store, bought a frozen pizza and chowed down. Yum. Nothing sucks worse than eating by yourself when all you want to be is surrounded by friends and family.
All the lights are on in this little suite of mine. I'm pretty sure this is the most lonely I've ever been. It sucks. I wish I knew people in this town but I'm lost. Anybody have any single person games before I go crazy?

This is kind of lame.
So I'm pretty sure its been almost a year since I've written in my blog. Thats not good. I'm feeling lame right now. Here I am another year older and non the wiser. Ok, thats not exactly true. Abba Father has been teaching me lessons since the day I gave my life to him and I have been learning from him ever since. (But it would help sometimes if I listened)
My thoughts go today on how difficult it is to love my God in the world. Before I gave my heart to Jesus, I was so unbelievably lost. High school for me was one huge party. It wasn't until the end of my senior year that the Lord really took ahold of me and wouldn't let me go. For almost two years now the Lord has flipped my world upside down and I couldn't be happier. My youth group has become my 2nd family, my mom has become my best friend (apart from Jesus), and being able to love my enemies has become so much easier with the help of God. Even though I wouldn't give any of that up, it is still terribly hard to live for God in this generation. Giving my life to Christ was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I knew that when I allowed Jesus into my heart I would have to let go of drinking, sex, and drugs. But when I could feel the Holy Spirit comforting me and just loving me, I was a goner. The Lord's love is too stronge! No worldly thing could ever get me to go back to the way I used to be.
Before I was saved, letting go of the world and loving Jesus meant giving up sex, drugs, alcohol but now loving Jesus means so much more. Now its more about internal things like hate, regret, guilt, and shame. Sometimes its way easier to just regret something for the rest of your life than to own up, face it, and repent. When I fell in love with God I had so much regret because of the things I'd done, I was ashamed, and I felt dirty. But Father told and taught me that no matter how bad I had messed up or no matter how many times I has spit in his face, He loved me.
Romans 8:38-39 says "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any othercreature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Have you ever been sitting in "Indian style" and both your legs fall asleep?
Its not fun trying to walk right after that happens. I almost busted my face into the wall. Exciting? I think not, lets go with embarrassing. Luckily I'm in my room while my amazing roommate is in hers because I can tell you right now, she would NEVER let me live that down.
The only real reason I have for writing today is to settle my thoughts. If you read my first blog then you'd remember that writing calms me down. Thus, here I am about to spill my guts on the man thoughts that have occupied my mind today.
Thought number one.
...Did Adam and Eve have a belly button?
OK OK I know that sounds really weird and most people are probably hitting the big "x" button in the top right hand corner right now..but think about it...
God made Adam and Eve in his image. Adam and Eve didn't not come out of a womb so there was no umbilical cord so there would be no belly button. Which is just a weird thought to me, I know I'm quite odd. My mother tells me often.
Thought number two...
What makes hot dogs different colors?
The ONLY reason I thought about this today was because for lunch I had a nice combination dog with cheese, chili, and slaw! Can you say yummy or what? (That does not pertain to you, if your a vegetarian) On a side note I actually tried to cut meat out of my diet altogether. I lasted two weeks, and I think I actually ate a hot pocket with ham in it. So I two weeks was probably wrong. It must have been more like two days. I used to live off ham and cheese hot pockets. But anyway back to the hot dog question. I honestly love hot dogs, I don't know what in them exactly but I know its gross. I really don't think I would mind knowing, like I know I could google it, but I'm fine with not knowing. Give me a combination dog with french fries and a coke and I'm in complete bliss. I love eating. I love trying new foods. I love cooking anything and everything!
OK wow so I got majorly off topic again (I tend to babble) but if you have any idea why a hot dog can either be brown or hot pink, let me know please.
I had other thoughts today but those were they main two. I was mostly spending my time with the Lord today by reading his word. The Lord is amazing!
So long for now,

Extra Ordinary
I'm pretty sure you'll laugh at the fact that this is my first time EVER blogging and its 2010. But if you have a heart and you don't laugh, thank you very much. I wish someone could guide me on what to right about and what not to write about, but then again I guess it doesn't matter. I'll start off by telling some stuff about myself. First off I'm female! Just so the cats out of the bag. Second I'm a devoted believer in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I'm an Intern at the International House of Prayer. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to cook. I might only be 18 years old but I worry about getting married. I worry about a bunch of things actually and you'll probably hear of them, if anybody will even read this. Writing calms me down and I only think I sound good when I'm in my car. I'm a dog person. I have one full blooded Parson Jack Russel, Mayo, and another mixed Jack Russel, Ketchup. Yes, my dogs are named after condiments. Mayo is young and playful and Ketchup is old and Lazy. They are my baby boys! I'm not a morning person what-so-ever but I'm not much of a night owl anymore either. 12pm will do it. I'm a photographer. I'm learning its not my plans, its God's plans. I love to read books. I'm not much of a magizine girl. I'll go ahead and tell you I'm for NObama. I don't believe in abortion or the health care plan. I'm sorry if I affend anyone on the matter but we are all allowed our opinions. Well I think that ought to do it. So long for now, Dakotalee
