Centenary

The Equine program here at Centenary was featured in today's Star Ledger. Which is a local paper. Check out the article.

Majoring in horses at Centenary College's equine studies center

It is a popular thing to hear when students talk about when they first told their parents that they wanted to do Equine Studies that their parents were unsure and somewhat put off by it. So when I was talking to my friend not too long ago she was surprised to hear that when I told my parents I recieved a "You can do that?" followed by "Sounds about right."

I am very fortunate to have parents and close family around me that believe in my dreams and goals. Not once have I felt that being horse-crazy was just that, crazy. So thank you.

Hungry

By Kathryn Scott

Hungry, I come to you

For I know You satisfy

I am empty, but I know

Your love does not run dry

So I wait, for You

So I wait, for You

I'm falling on my knees

Offering all of me

Jesus, You're all this heart is living for

Broken I run to You

For Your arms are open wide

I am weary but I know

Your touch restores my life

So I wait, for You

So I wait, for You

I'm falling on my knees

Offering all of me

Jesus, You're all this heart is living for

I'm falling on my knees

Offering all of me

Jesus, You're all this heart is living for

Stepping Aside

Last night Candace had fun with my hair and she put in two french braids. So I slept on them and then woke up to fun wavy hair. T. Swizzle by Candace Human. lol.

I've been thinking more. Of course lol. And I've come to a conclusion to a conflict I discussed earlier. I talked about how I have a choice of two paths before me, well I've come to the conclusion that it isn't necessarily about two different goals or direction that my life is heading. But it is about the way I will go about living my life.

The first path was all about me, and my plans. Doing what I want and what I have imagined for me. And the second is about reallly, truely following God and His will. And I am choosing to go the secong route.

This means that I will be stepping aside from all that I have ever thought was best for me. Its no longer in my hands. I am going to make my life about serving God through serving others.

Now this doesn't mean I am throwing out all my hopes and ambitions about riding. I still want to be the best I can be, with this as my career, and my biggest goal to be the Olympics. But it does mean that I will not pass up the opportunities to praise God. I will go to Africa, and I will go as often as possible. I will more focused on others than I will be myself. I will be involved with the Church and work towards making it more about community than the common misconceptions.

I am making my life about God and am taken over by His love and a growing love for Him.

Advent

What is advent? I've never really known or participated before, so this year it has been new to me. Each Monday a 3pm in the Chapel we have a short little "service." I looked up what the definition of advent was and this is what I found: Advent serves a reminder both of the original waiting that was done by the Hebrews for the birth of their Messiah as well as the waiting of Christians for the second coming of Christ.

Today we looked at peace. Last week hope. And the next two weeks are joy and love. This video was played and it really hit me hard.


Kind of makes you want to forget all about gift giving all together huh? Well it did for me. I want to redefine Christmas.
