So, I like to think you people have been sitting around waiting for an update from me... but lets be real.
I was waiting until i was informed out my acceptance into the Baylor School of Social Work to get my masters. Well, yesterday I received word that I was not accepted. Imagine that!It kinda brings me back to that time freshman year where I applied for about three things and got turned down for each and every one of them. Have I done something wrong, i mean seriously come on!! Now I have no idea what I'm going to do. I only applied to one school because I'm cheap and did not want to pay the application fee and I figured I would get in. I have not taken the GRE and the deadline is pretty much here for any other masters program with Advanced Standing. No plans are made now, I thought about waiting for a year and attending grad school the next year with my pals Alice' and Sara and possibly seeing if Sky Ranch had some sort of internship I could do for next year. In doing that, Im scared that I will not go back to school. If we are being honest i DONT EVEN WANT TO GO TO GRAD SCHOOL, but i figure if i want to make any money in my life or have a legit job i should. Maybe i should have stuck with my childhood dreams of teaching, it would have been a lot less complicated. How bout next time I grow up I major in education??? As of now I am stuck in a rut, so if you have any ideas on what i can do with my life please dont be to hesitant to share! Im always up for an outsiders opinion.
I'm sure this is just like everything else in life the Lord is teaching me something. Me getting denied does not suprise Him at all. Bethany suggested maybe the Lord is teaching me to be content in the unknown, but i feel like my whole life has been unknown. I mean why is it that everyone graduates college and gets married, I on the other hand have no prospects and no sight of marriage in the future. Its all unknown... maybe she was correct... maybe she was incorrect. Time will tell.

four
so, its been a while.
1. I have been doing my internship which is going really well. Im learning a lot and the kids are slowly becoming so precious to me. Maybe social work was not that great of an idea because i just want to take half of the kids home with me. They go through things that i never would have imagined going through in high school and jr high. One girl, i just want to take her to church and show her the Lord because I honestly think that will solve her problem. Only problem is, is that is totally unethical and just can not happen. Of all the kids i have seen her out in public twice which is cool since she is so dear to my heart. I think that school social work is something i can most def see myself doing in the future.
2. Grad school.... Yeah, i applied for Baylor. I only have a few more things to send in then the application process is COMPLETE! So, if im accepted this summer i will move six hours away from my family and best pals. It saddens me because I will miss so many things in the time i am away like babies and weddings... well ill come for the weddings but ill miss the wedding parties! I also know that the year im away, i will learn so much and its going to be a continual growing process. Its a step towards independence.
3. the breakup... i did not mention it in the last blog because i probably would not have said anything nice about it. But it happened, its been a month, and there is nothing i can do about it. I went through acting like i did not care, sadness, anger, confusion, and lastly bitterness. I just got out of the bitterness stage which was most lame. Im thankful the Lord has brought me out of it. Its not really something i want to settle my life in. We are trying to be friends and the first few times we hung out were ultra lame, i tried to enjoy it but it was so hard. The other day we hung out and it was not as bad. So, i think for now im in the content stage. I miss him no lie, but the Lord is working in both of us and its so cool to watch. I dont hate him, there is really no need to because he is just a boy.
4. I feel like i have fallen off the earth because I am so busy all of the time. Im also kind of a grandma. I go to bed so early and sometimes i do not do things because i know that by doing them I cant go to sleep early. But I would like to say i have to wake up at 6 in the MORNING every freaking day of my life. Since im at home now, its like a cave because people do not just travel to ball everyday of their life. I think they should though because exciting things can happen.

yeah.
Oh man, a lot has happened since the last time i posted something about a month ago! For starters... its 2010.... i graduate college soon. that is weird.
I went to The Passion conference in Atlanta. It was so good and the Lord did a lot. He was preparing me for things that i did not even know at the time. Probably the most Jam thing that happened at Passion was a breakout session i went to with Ben Stuart from aTm speaking. The title of his session was "what are you going to do with your life" That is something i have def been looking for considering i graduate in may and have no clue what is in my future. He was talking about how when knowing the will of God there are two things... Preceps- things that are in the bible (ex: worrying... the bible flat out says dont do it.) and Providence- things that happen along the way. (ex: there is nothing in the bible telling me what grad school to go to) So here is the jam thing... ready.... You cannot seek the will of God while you are violating it. Yes i know that is a lot to take in... but its worth it. That has stuck in my head since i have left the philips arena! So many other jam things were said... but lets be real.. i would be writing all day.
Other news... im not living on campus this semester.. im officially a commuter! I decided there was no point to live on campus since i will never be there due to my internship, which starts monday! I will be at Tioga High and im so ridiculously stoked about it!!! Its going to be such a learning experience staying at home since i have not really lived there in almost four years! But we are saving a lot of money which i possibly get to use to get a car with... im way stoked about that!!! I know that this semester is going to bring a time of learning, conquering fears, growing and so many other wonderful things... but im not that naive, i also know that it is going to bring times of sadness, stress, and frustration. I trust that the Lord is going to do so much and even though im out of control scared and unsure... a little part of me is semi excited.
Grad school.... lately i have been thinking about Baylor in Waco, TX.... six hours away.... its far away but i think it will be a good change. If that is my decision its def going to be hard to leave... but i will come back and visit... and i will expect welcome home prizes from all of you... thats if this thing does happen. I mean lets be real this is the third grad school that i have said i was going to go to... maybe i will not even go to grad school... who the heck even knows!! If Baylor is my choice i will live with a camp friend in an apt that is not far from a basketball court... so i mean... im not complaing.... boys.... :)
Okay... ill update more eventually... a downfall of moving home is i will not have internet :(

watercoloring, jamming, and thankfulness.
For this blog I do not really have any inspirational thing to write about, I am simply going to write until i do not feel like it anymore, which will be soon because I am going out with cody and friends to see a movie!
I have found a new hobby, painting with watercolors. I am not very artsy and im not very good but I like it. I like to think that if you pretend to be artsy then you are artsy. If you are interested in looking at my paintings and wanted to purchase one... then i would not hate it! If i like you enough then i will be more than happy to just simply make you one of your own inspired by you! But i cannot promise it with be Monet or anything.
Life has been interesting these days. I went home for Thanksgiving... that was interesting. I was able to go to Ft Worth with Kayla and hang out with my friends long lost friends Katy and Tommy, along with their baby precious pea jubilee! We are pretty much besties, i sang to her and taught her how to spell necessary words like JAM and ULTIMATE JAM... i know she is only four months old but im sure she is a prodigee!! After returning home, my little brother came home from bootcamp. That would be a whole story for itself. But i will say i did not enjoy it... mainly because of my thoughts. One night I was laying in bed venting about life to my dog because she was laying with me. As stupid as it sounds I also knew she would listen and not judge my thoughts.... but as i was being negative nancy and venting the Lord brought to my mind... 2 Corin 10:5 which says We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God and TAKE EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE to OBEY CHRIST. Yeah i got hurled with that one. The reason I was in a crappy mood the whole time was not because i did not understand why certain things were allowed to happen and why things were ran the way they were. Those things are true, but I was not taking my thoughts captive and making them obedient to Christ. Satan was attacking me and he succeeded. So all week i said over and over take every thought captive, take every thought captive. Sometimes i did not succeed but other times were a sucess. But i figure, that is life.
My neice should be born soon which im super excited about, its my first one and my older brother and i are pretty close. She and I will be sharing a room... which i was not to stoked about at first but now im kinda excited about it! It will give me someone to hang out with! Olivia is already dialated 1.5 CM!!
Cody and I are going strong.. the Lord is continuing to teach me through our relationship... I would put it on here but I figure its a little personal... but if you want to know you can ask. Im sure i wont mind sharing! Its been two months and quite honestly i have loved every minute of it! He is quite wonderful and im proud to call him mine... yes you can throw up now! :)
Finals are coming up and then Christmas break!! Im excited to be done with this semester but its a little unreal considering i will only have one semester left of my college career, other than grad school. Sometimes i think grad school is too big for me, but I also think i should prob sign up for the GRE and maybe apply to the school i want to go to! Or maybe figure out what i even want to do with the rest of my life.... maybe i dont want to be a social worker..what who said that... maybe i dont want to have a big girl job just yet... maybe i want to be a free soul...... okay bye.

broken.
You repair all that we have torn apart and You unveil a new beginning in our hearts and We stand grateful for all that has been left behind andAll that goes before us You've got all things suspended All things connected Nothing was forgotten' Cause your love is perfect You are our healer And you know what's broken And we're not a mystery to you (to you, oh Lord, to you) We will dance 'cause you restore the wasted years and You will sing over all our coming fears and We'll stand grateful for all that has been left behind and all that goes before us Lord, you mend the breech And you break every fetter You give us your best, but what we thought was better And you are to be praised You are to be praised (to you, oh Lord, mender of the broken)

So tonight as i was sitting in my room i decided to listen to music instead of watching t.v. This was the first song that came to play on my itunes, its a good song and i use to love it! I have not listened to it in a while but tonight i did. Then i listened to a song by bethany dillon. Before turning on my music my heart felt a little heavy so i wanted to sit in my room play on facebook and just listen to music hoping the Lord would speak. In the midst of the B. Dil song my eyes began to get a little watery, then four tears began to stream down my face. Somewhere in my life my tear ducts broke and I forgot how to cry so i consider these four tears a cry. I really have no idea why this happened but it did. Its been a hard semester for me and honestly im just ready to get out. I do not really know whats here for me anymore, but all of my dreams seem unrealistic because I dont drive. Everyone keeps harping about it and i dont like that i dont drive but i dont and i dont see it changing anytime soon. I feel stuck here and that no matter what my dreams are it doesnt matter because i will be here. i feel broken. I dont even feel broken as in the Lord is breaking me... i just feel broken. broken like a bone only a cast will not fix it... in this case and cast will just hide it. So i am kind of okay with that and have found myself complacent in my hiding. I know that through all of this the Lord will continue to be sovereign but its just hard. I still have happy times, but mostly i just put a smile on my face because its the only thing i really know how to do! A smile and a joke or two will fix life right?! Then i get to points where I just wish I knew what was wrong with me. Is what im going through normal or am i just a creep! I figure its just life and eventually it will get better I just have to suck it up!
This week has been good but long. The weekend was okay too my best friends and I were all together so that was such a blast! This weekend my other best friends are coming in and im stoked about that. The weekend before the one we just had was not good... i was really emo and had some pretty emo writings that came out of it but im not going to share.
I started spending time with the Lord which is something I have been slacking at! Im trying to seek him in the midst of my sorrow and feelings of being broken and empty. I hate that at times of sorrow i find myself seeking the Lord and not in times of happiness as well but thats usually how it works right.. I dont really know whats wrong with me but He does! So much has been going on and i know i cant change it, i just have to face it because sometimes my opinion doesnt really matter. There are times when I feel alone even though i know im not but i just feel that way. I have learned in my lifetime to not ask why something is happening to you, but what you can learn from it. Thinking about it.. i dont really find myself asking anything, i just find myself dealing with it.
Sky came to school to recruit... a part of my wants to go back so bad but the realistic part says no shannon you cant because you need to get a real job and save money. That is not really something im wigging out about but every now and then it comes to my head.
I would like to apologize for this depressing post, but its a representation of my life these days and that is what blogging is for right?
He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog and set my feet upon a rock making my steps secure. Psalm 40:2
Boyfriend update: we are over a month now... its been good! He makes me smile, not because i feel like i have to but just because he is so wonderful! We have monday night date night and thursday night movie night that we have set aside. Those are nights where we for sure hang out and its so good!! He also came to sunday night dinner this past sunday with me! He has met the whole fam now except sam and my little brother. They all seem to like him so that is a good sign!

Its a rainy day in Aggieland
So this weekend I am experiencing life as an Aggie! Its been fairly exciting and extremely overwhelming but i think its obsession worthy! ha! Yesterday Amber Thomas and I arrived at about four o clock! It was a beautiful arrival... we were def freaking out along the way!! We pulled up at Janie's house where she graciously met us outside and then knocked me on the grass.... We went into the house and hung out for a bit. I had previously requested that Janie have Amber and I a hot meal waiting for us on the table upon our arrival... but since her roomies like us better they made a tasty meal! We then went to HEB to purchase some necessities, then back to the house to watch a little television and of course, a dance party!! It was fabulous... one of the best ones yet! Its nice to see her roomies dance with her where as Beth just stares at me while I dance... or it does not even phase her because she is use to it!
This morning we woke up early because Janie had to work... that was hilarious within itself! She drives a bus so i sat on a bus for two hours and shadowed her while she was working. I creeped various sorts of people on the bus as well! Its been pouring down rain all day so i have spent most of my morning soaking wet! We then went to lunch and now janie is in class! What am I doing you may be asking yourself if she is in class... well good question. Im sitting in this funny RPTS computer lab with funny people and a funny professor just creepin around.
Things are done a lot different in Aggieland than they are in Wildcat land... for instance... people ride bikes all around campus.. the bike racks are intense! They favor the bike racks at Wal-Mart immensly! At LC if you ride a bike you are just considered lazy and people stare! Also, janie was freaking out because she only had 25 minutes to get to class... At LC you are thankful for those 25 minutes because there is still time to get A LOT of stuff done! People run to class in aggieland... at LC if you run to class people, and by people i mean me and my friends, yell out funny boy/girl running! Also, why is it that in aggieland these people think its weird i only have five people in my classes... oh maybe because they have like 300 in a class. Buses... people take freaking buses around campus... I on the other hand take a bus on youth mission trips. Its also really cool to wear tights under shorts here... At LC you wear tights under shorts only if you are going to work out and mostly not even then.... Maybe i will try it! People take naps in random buildings as if its okay, no one even says anything about it! At LC the only acceptable place to take a nap is in your room! Also, people under the age of 22 have their own houses... like real life grown up houses where they are allowed to have candles, stoves, hot plates, and other items that are not allowed in a cubicle that is called a dorm! Oh parking garages... please notice i said more than one garage.. they have those too!! We, at LC, have a circle and some parking lots.
My experiences here are not yet over but these are just some of the things I have noticed! As much as I think I could be obsessed with this place, I really am content with LC! I like that its small and i like that people tell people hello even if you don't know them!!
Boyfriend, Week 2: Cody and I have been dating for a week and four days now! We went on our weekaversary to McAllisters and then we made a trip to the mall! It was fun! We are continuing to learn more and more about one another and we pretty much act like we are in fourth grade but I love it!! We are going pretty strong! He does not have texting so that forces better vocal communication which is obviously wonderful! It stinks in times like this where he is at football and I am out of town constantly surrounded by people so we can not always speak!
okay well its only me and a strange man in the lab now so I'm going to stop typing. Ill continue this post later!

Also, people under the age of 22 have their own houses... like real life grown up houses where they are allowed to have candles, stoves, hot plates, and other items that are not allowed in a cubicle that is called a dorm! Oh parking garages... please notice i said more than one garage.. they have those too!! We, at LC, have a circle and some parking lots.
My experiences here are not yet over but these are just some of the things I have noticed! As much as I think I could be obsessed with this place, I really am content with LC! I like that its small and i like that people tell people hello even if you don't know them!!
Boyfriend, Week 2: Cody and I have been dating for a week and four days now! We went on our weekaversary to McAllisters and then we made a trip to the mall! It was fun! We are continuing to learn more and more about one another and we pretty much act like we are in fourth grade but I love it!! We are going pretty strong! He does not have texting so that forces better vocal communication which is obviously wonderful! It stinks in times like this where he is at football and I am out of town constantly surrounded by people so we can not always speak!
okay well its only me and a strange man in the lab now so I'm going to stop typing. Ill continue this post later!

Just a blog!
I do not really a specific purpose of blogging at the moment, but my hope is that something good will come out of it!
All has been well lately, I think I am officially out of camp depression which is good. I have been having good days. I think the normalcy of life is to have some bad moments, so of course that happens. I'm learning more and more everyday to like to be alone. Last week was pretend its camp week so Alice' and I did various funny camp activities, so maybe that was a awkward type of therapy or something weird!
Um... I kinda have a little boyfriend action now and by kinda I mean I do. It happened Monday night at about 8:53 P.M. I know its really lame that i know that but please give me a break! He is one of the most precious things I have ever encountered. Remember how I said I learned about vulnerability over the summer... well now is the perfect chance for me to actually put that into practice and its been hard but its been good. Its not something that I entered into just for fun I prayed about it and processed it, then determined it was okay. It's definitely a new experience for me but I'm loving all of it... even though its only been two days!! hahaha!! We are currently learning to balance time between hanging out with one another and hanging out with our own friends without one another. I'm sure ill update more about him because sometimes I like to say dumb girlfriend things.. like for instance knowing 8:53. I thought about making a 365 day album on facebook and it would be entitled 365 days of having a boyfriend... but I figured that would be taking it too far! So I sustained myself!!
I am going to college station to hang out in approximately 8 days, I'm super stoked about that!!
Okay, enough of this pointless uninspirational blog... sometimes I feel like its silly to update this about what i do daily because i'm just a normal college student.. class work hangout workout. I feel as if i should put life altering words for my readers.. but I do not always have those!
Until next time ill leave you with some photos of me and captain (cody)!
