Good Ol' God

                  Have you ever had one of those moments where you can just feel God around you? I just had one of those. I get inspired by God at such random times. Right now it's almost 3:30 AM, I'm sitting in my room, I look about half crazy, hair everywhere, makeup running down my face....but God chose to visit me anyway haha I was talking to one of my new friends. He is one of those people you meet and you feel like you can sum them up in a about a second, but then you start talking to them and you figure out you were completely wrong. When I first met this guy...he didn't seem like the God loving type. He was a little crazy and to be honest he seemed a little pervy. (Apparently I'm just not used to hanging out with groups of guys...because they can be dirty lol) I've always thought I wasn't the type of person to be judgmental, but apparently I am. Never assume you know someone before you actually get to know them...that was my lesson for the day. This guy that I thought was just a crazy dirty guy is actually in a Christian metalcore band dedicated to spreading the word of God to people who typically do not get witnessed to. How awesome is that?? I know what you might be thinking, if the impression you got from this guy is one of a pervy crazy guy, then maybe he isn't doing a good job of representing the Christian nation. I thought that way too. But really...he's no different than me or you. He is an imperfect follower of Christ and doesn't try to pretend he is something he's not. He is real. This is a Christian who is trying to reach people for God. This guy pleasantly surprised me....and that doesn't happen very often. Someone who I thought would just be another acquaintance ended up being an inspiration to me. Something I've tried to work toward for a while now is viewing each person as God sees them. He loves unconditionally, and that's something I want so much. To spread love where I can. We're all just people.......imperfect, broken, precious, LOVED sons and daughters of Christ.  <3

My best friend :)

I just had a thought. I was reading my best friend, Hannah's, blog. Let me just tell you that she is one of the greatest people I know! She always knows how to let you know that she appreciates you and loves you. I just want to let her know that I appreciate and love her too! Hannah and I have been best friends since the fourth grade. We were in the same class, and our first impression wasn't the best. I was an angry kid that day and she thought I was a bully! She sat next to me...poor girl HAHA! I didn't really think much of her then, at least I don't think I did. My memory is crap. But ANYWAY! We really started becoming friends at a football game for our future high school. We were both a little shy at first, but then we both just broke loose and we laughed and had a blast for the rest of the night! We always say the night of the first high school football game is our friendiversary. Hannah and I have been through so much since then. She's always been there for me when I feel like my life is falling apart, when I'm on top of the world and everything in between. We were actually roommates this past year in college. That was the BEST! I miss her already. We joke and say we need to marry guys that are best friends too so we can just get a big house together. I still say we should HAHA! But yeah, Hannah is definitely my friend version of a soul mate. She's just an awesome person and I'm so thankful for her. She's one of those people that God brings into your life and you just know that they will always be there....because you can't imagine your life without them. I love you Budrocita!!!!

Hey! How are ya? I'm fine thanks! :)

So, I started a blog! Well...duh. Honestly I have no idea what I'm going to write about in here, but I figured I would start out by introducing myself. My name is Amber. I live in Tennessee, I'm a sophomore in college, human services major, and I'm 19 years old. I'm hoping to become a counseling therapist one of these days because I have a passion for helping people with their life troubles. It's kind of funny how that worked out for me, it seems like I can solve everyone's problems but my own! Eh well, if you can't do, teach! Right now I work at PetSmart as a dog bather. Now there's an exciting job for you! I'm sure you will get to hear many many stories about that place; I'm full of them! I'm known to be a very quirky person...I can be a little "out there" on occasion, but can't we all?? Something else I should say, I'm not much of a writer so don't expect anything too awfully amazing. I pretty much write exactly how I talk! So...yeah! Geez, what else is there to say about me?? Like you know...um...OH! I am still an ultramegasupersonic Backstreet Boys fan! I love all sorts of music though. I think I should be a DJ at some point in my life, how cool would that be?! Ok I'm rambling. Sorry. I'm going to end this now....but I'm going to end it with a video of my face! :D
