well. let's see. i think i have decided not to be an education major because if i decide not to do it, it will have been a waste of time. also, with skating and everything else i'm doing it would be nearly impossible. and plus biology education is huge. i'll stick to just biology, especially since i feel led to that right now, and i think i should follow my heart. right? i feel like i want to work in a lab somewhere, and do something big. i almost feel like i don't think i can work with children for the rest of my life. yes, on the side, as in teaching skating more. or if i end up running a camp, but that's a whole 'nother story...
i had a boy ask me last weekend if we wanted to hang out. needless to say, we chatted tonight and we are going to hang out tomorrow night. i like having guy friends. i'm rather excited. plans look like a movie and coffee or a club. hmm.
life is good.

I'm all about following your heart. You can pray about it, talk to trusted friends about it, but in the end its all about following what's in your heart. And you know what? No matter what decision you make, GOD will be there!! You never have to worry about being alone, because you are a beloved child of GOD!!
Have you ever read the book "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho? The book is about a young boy in search of his personal treasure. Along the way he learns how to trust his heart. The following passage is part of that process. First Santiago's heart speaks to him. Then he talks to the alchemist about what his heart is telling him, who in turn gives him some good advice.
“People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don’t deserve them, or that they’ll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren’t, or of treasures that might have been found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen, we suffer terribly.”
“My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer,” the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky.
“Tell your heart the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity.”
And on another note...it's all about taking things as they come. I've learned that you can make plans for yourself. You know and five years from now I'll finish this and start doing that, right before I do the other thing. Funny thing is that GOD has plans for us too and well, HIS plans usually cause us to change ours a wee bit or a big bit! GO figure!
thanks. :) what you wrote is awesome.
