My Soliloquy

Redefining Beautiful by Jenna Lucado is a book written for young girls. It address the issues that girls face concerning how they feel about themselves. This is a big issue for every young woman. Most have no idea who they are suppose to be in Christ. Society today portrays a certain way that a young girl should be, but this is far from they way that God meant for His daughters to be. It’s not all about what a girl look like or what she can accomplish, but it’s about who she is to God. This book addresses many of the issues that young women are facing today, and gives encouragement and insight into who they are and who they’re meant to be. The biggest emphasis is given to the relationship that a girl has with her heavenly Father, and how He is the one that can fill everyone of her needs. I think the author did a good job at explain the different reasons why young girls deal with the issues they do, and then gives tips on how to better handle life and view themselves as daughter of The King. I recommend this book for any young woman who is in need of better understanding who and Who’s she is.

Fresh Start: God’s Invitation to a Fresh Life by Doug Fields is a great choice for anyone who feels stuck by a situation in their life. This book addresses a variety of issues in life that keep people from living the lives that God has purposed for them to live. Are you held back by painful experiences from your past? A character trait such as pride or fear? Are you stuck in a challenging relationship, an addiction or an inability that keeps you from being who you’re suppose to be? If you feel the need for a fresh start in any area of your life this book is sure to offer you some encouragement. Doug Fields writes in a way that is very easy to understand, and gives advice that is very easy to implement into your own life so that you can get on the right track for a fresh start for your life. I enjoyed reading this book and found a lot of encouragement and hope for a fresh start in areas in my own life.

What’s He Really Thinking: How to be a relational genius with the man in your life by Paula Rinehart

We all have men in our lives that we are trying to relate to and sometimes it can feel more like relating to a alien or perhaps a brick wall than another human being, but this book gives some illumination to why such feeling are so often the case and how this view can be changed.
This book puts the male and female mind side-by-side and shows how both are complex in their own ways, and need to be approached with understanding and respect from the opposite sex. The writer did a good job in communicating insightful information, and did in such a way that the book never stopped being simultaneously entertaining and thought provoking. One thing that I really like about this book is that Rinehart never dismissed the way the mind of the woman works, or did male vs. female. Instead she wrote more about male and female brains, and how they are individually unique and created for each other.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s full of hope, wisdom, and fun, and I highly recommend it.

This is probably going to be one of the busiest weeks of my year, and I don’t feel prepared to go into it. I’m excited just because it is the last week of school, which means I’m almost free to move out of the dorms….can I hear and Amen! At the same time though I’m feeling the pressure because it is the last week of school, which means finals, and graduation, and banquet. On top of that I have work, and should also be hearing some information about work and housing over the summer, and I’m getting nervous on this subject.
Coming out of a great conference, I feel like I should be more prepared for this week, but somehow I’m not. Well maybe I am, and I’m just super tired so I don’t feel like I am. Anyway, I feel like I’m walking tightrope and I’m trying very hard to stay balanced. I’m totally relying on God because the only thing I have control over concerning this week is how much I study for finals, and that’s about it. Well I guess I’ll just have to buckle down on push through the week. I’m just hoping God gives me the strength and ability to trust Him with whatever comes my way.

I totally just wrote a blog and then decided that since I couldn’t actually write what I’m want to, that there was really no point to my writing at all. I write blogs because I’m bored and I deeply enjoy typing. I can never write what I really feel in a blog (that’s why I have a prayer journal) and so I write bored nonsense in a blog.
Right now I’m sitting in my room waiting for “Dorm Warm” to start and wondering why I’m even here since I’m not really in a mood to hang out with people, and I know that I won’t really be missed if I leave. With that in mind I don’t think I’ll stay very long unless a miracle happens and I really start enjoying myself ( wow am I a positive thinker or what) Not that I don’t think I miracle would happen, or that I wouldn’t want one to happen, but I’m read a situation, but my history book, which doesn’t hold too many social miracles thus far. Yeah, I’m really just not much of a social person. I like people most of the time, but I don’t fit in, and I get tired of being on the outside of the circle. Someone on the inside might look at me and say “come on in” but someone on the inside is not capable of understanding the person on the outside. I am not capable of just stepping into a circle. I have nothing to say to those in the circle, and so when I step in I just end up stepping right back out because I have nothing to add to the circle. What I need to do is find other outsiders and make a square, no make that a triangle I like those more. Yes, I shall make triangles. So if there is anyone out there who knows what I’m talking about, and also likes triangles, lets form triangles together.
And now I must go. Huh I ended up making a blog after all. Yup i was bored.

Things that we hear often tend to become cliche but “He has risen” should never become so. I’m so excited that today is Easter. I’ve come to really love this day; just being able to focus on what it represent, and all Christ has done for me. There really aren’t words to express the significance that this day represents. I cannot even grasp it in my mind. The thought of the empty tomb just gives me holy goosebumps : )
It’s funny that ‘empty’ is not a good thing in just about any circumstance. My youth pastor brought this up last wednesday, how empty gas tanks and starbucks cards really suck, but the empty tomb is our greatest reason for celebration. The tomb is not just empty on Easter Sunday though, it is always empty, so we should always be celebrating the hope this emptiness. This emptiness represents the fulfillment of history, and of love. This emptiness is the greatest victory of all and because of it we are free and also share in this victory. Praise the Lord for all He has done, and for the victory that He has and gives to us. Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know why I even bother to write blogs because the only people who ever read them are my sisters, but hey I like to type, so I will continue to write these dumb blogs. With that said….Hello Tami and Jenny my amazing sisters : )

I love Saturdays. I really don’t like the rest of the week because I have to go to school, but Saturdays I get to sleep in (in my own bed) and normally spend the day at home (which I really do enjoy) or perhaps go out for a bit with Tami and get some coffee. Anyway today was just another nice and laid back Saturday, and I quite enjoyed it. Sadly the day is coming to an end and I have to go back to school tomorrow, and that is a depressing thought, but in six weeks I will be home for the summer. It will not come too soon.
Random thought:
So when I type notes or a paper I very often hit control ’s’ to save my work. Well the other day I was sitting in counseling class and I had this odd desire to hit control ’s’ It was odd because my notes in that class are written by hand, but I still felt I needed to press control ’s’ to save my work. I’ve had this random desire several different times this semester and it amuses me each time. Oh how technology affects the mind. Ha.

YO. I’m here to tell you some little known ‘facts’ about this ‘Stevie Goddard’ person.
I’m not one for procrastination (that’s a complete lie) so let’s dive right into this sucka!
1) She likes the word Monotonous, and also the word ominous.
2) She had a rat named Zoe when she was a kid.
3) She was endlessly cruel to her little sister when they were young, and one time even abandoned poor Tamerah on the rope swing (she was at that time too little to get off by herself), and made her think there was a cougar behind her. Tamerah is scarred for life because of this.
4) She played Barbies until she was fourteen.
5) She wants to write a book some day.
6) Her Facebook boyfriend is in fact a cat.
7) When she was a kid she used to scare herself with her imagination whilst trying to scare other people with it.
EIGHT! (it made a freaking sunglasses smiley face when I typed out this one so I have to write the word itself instead). Once when she was playing legos with her little sister, Tamerah, she had to save someone who had almost drown (a dashing young Lego Man with a green robin hood cap named Nathaniel who had foolishly wandered too close to a dangerous whirlpool), and said as he lay half-dead on the little lego bed, “WE HAVE TO PUMP THE AIR OUT OF HIS LUNGS!!” Only noticing her error when her little sister bust up laughing to the point she could barely breath.
9) She used to catch salamanders in her backyard.
10) She loves the british comedy show ‘As Time Goes By’.
11) She secretly wishes she could grow up to be just like her little sister.
12) She used to read Sweet Valley High kids’ books. (I think that’s the name, at least).
13) She was about as much of a tom boy as one can get without actually being a boy.
14) She used to watch the television show Zoom every weekday at five O’clock. Her favorite people on the show were Kenny and Jared (may he rest in peace).
15) She has a youtube account (TheAntonymOfMonotony) that she needs to post videos on more often.
16) She will kick your butt at Egyptian Rhapsody (Also known as Egyptian Ratscrew I believe, though I wouldn’t quote me on that).
17) She wants to learn to play the drums, as well as the guitar.
18) Her little sister admires her very much.
19) She likes the name Cornelius for a kitty cat.
20) She is a Nerdfighter, and made of some serious Awesome.

NOM NOM NOM
That was amazing wasn’t it?!
IT WAS OMG!
Seriously.
Those were some pretty freaking amazing facts.
Only a truly amazing person could have compiled such a brilliant list.
