“Young men need to be socialized in such a way that rape is as unthinkable to them as cannibalism.”

RSSMarry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.

I really needed this song, and someone I know on facebook posted the lyrics, which prompted me to look up the song on YouTube. It’s so awesome how God works and draws us in to Him.
I haven't stalked you in a long time it seems. I'm slacking on cr33ping lately. I do apologize. I miss you! and have been keeping you in prayer<3 I hope you're doing super fab!C:
Aw Faith!! I miss you stalking me, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t posted much either! :/ I miss you, it was great to meet you! You all are so great, I wish you lived closer I could use some more Christian women in my life! Praying for you too :)
Dear girls,
who have cried because you don’t look like the girls on the cover of the magazines, it’s okay, without edits,
those cover girls don’t actually look like that either.
don’t let society’s definition of “beauty” leave you feeling “ugly”.sincerely,
a girl who has but is done believing a lie.

Another prayer request
My sister is 17 years old and just lost her best friend to cystic fibrosis. The girl’s name is Andrea and passed away today, February 18th 2013. She had been very ill the past month in the hospital and found out she needed a double lung transplant. Then she had swelling on the brain, and today suffered a stroke and lost the fight to CF. Please please pray for my sister, and for Andrea’s family as they grieve the loss of this beautiful, young girl<3
I need prayer please!
For those of you who are the praying kind, please pray that God would keep me at peace and remove my stress about school. Here’s what’s going on:
So I didn’t like being in New Mexico, so I came back home for school. I returned to Adelphi (which is pretty expensive) to finish up my BSW by August. With all of the moving back and craziness, I totally forgot that grad school applications are due soon, primarily for the more inexpensive schools. A school application is due March 1st and I have to write a 7 page paper for that, so pray that I will have time to achieve that big task.
Also, I am not sure if I should take time off from school, (a year at most) and dedicate that year to prayer and figuring out what direction I want to go in, or what direction the Lord wants me to go in. That would help a lot, to take some time off and figure out my life, rather than going to school straight for 8 months through the summer, and beginning a graduate program a few weeks later. Yes it would be nice to finish school sooner rather than later, but I also am hesitant to get my masters in social work. What if I want to do Biblical counseling, or something in the Christian field, should I just do that and be content with my BSW?
Guys, I need help and prayer. Please feel free to offer any advice, I am super confused! Thanks :)
