Well I feel that it is time to update on my life. Though my day to day is rather boring, I have exciting long term plans. I discovered the Spiderman cartoons from 1967... yea I love them. Also I have been faithfully watching The Avengers cartoon and I really like it. So before I begin the deep side to this post, here is my list of favorite superheros, in order.
1. Spiderman (duh)
2. Captain America
2 1/2. Thor
3. Iron Man
4. The Hulk
5. Squirrel Girl... no i did not make her up. She had her own comic book and actually I don't like her, rather I like the concept.
Summer is in full swing now. I have bent my knee to 90 degrees, which is a super accomplishment and I am healing pretty well. My birthday is on Saturday and I get Oreo cake so um WOO HOO!
But on to what I really want to say... I think that I am being called into a wonderful ministry opportunity that I don't think I want to pass up. I love Bethel, and I had a wonderful experience there, but I feel as if God is asking me to take a leap of faith and take a step back from college and see what he has to offer me. I have been praying and seeking him and I think that I am going to go to a discipleship training program, probably through YWAM if they accept me. I am extremely scared. And please understand that not everything is set in stone!!
My plan from here is as followed... I intend to fully recover from my super great surgery. Once I am recovered, I will work my booty off to raise the money for the training program. (if anyone knows of a job, let me know!!) The discipleship training program starts in January and runs until June. I would pack my belongs and leave my pretty little house and head to an undisclosed tropical location.
So that is how I am feeling led. I still am waiting for 100% confirmation from God though!! PLEASE pray for me, that I will clearly know what God has for me!
And who knows, maybe His plan is for me to be right where I am for a while... or maybe he wants to send me to Disney World as a missionary... whatever it is I will be okay with it!!
On another note, my birthday is on SATURDAY and I am beyond excited... i already said that though.
also when I grow up, one room in my house will be spiderman... no seriously I already picked it out on pinterest.
All the love in the world,
Char

Beautiful Blog
As I was getting ready this morning, I realized that I have not updated my blog recently. I think this morning, God spoke to me and I know what I want to do with my life. I want to create an organization that helps young girls, teens and older women, that they are beautiful. (on the side I would like to run a house that helps women leave the world of sex trafficking and prostitution, but one thing at a time)
As I was thinking about this, I realized that I have never written a post about beauty. So here is my post about Beauty.
I love hair and makeup. There is rarely a time when I leave my house without having my hair styled, and having some makeup on, but I know that this does not define who I am. I think that society puts so much pressure on women to look a certain way and it is kind of disgusting. Kara and I were watching Toddlers and Tiaras the other day and the comments the mom's were making were sickening. They were saying things like, I want my daughter to know that pretty girls will go farther in life, I keep her on a diet so she can maintain her weight, I am overweight and I know that being pretty will get you farther in life.
One mom in particular, she was thin and tan and she had nice hair, but she said,"Beauty is so important. You have to be beautiful to survive in this society, you wouldn't convict a pretty girl of being a serial killer."
UM hold up lady! Why are there so many people that think you have to pretty to do stuff? I think that there is a way that you can present yourself in which your outward appearance reflects the person that you are on the inside.
Beauty is solely a matter of the heart. Society sets such a high standard on what is "beautiful." Half of the girls in magazines and on television are completely fake. How can there be this standard for beauty if literally no one can live up to that expectation?
I wish that I could send a message to every single girl and woman to tell them that beauty is more than the way you look. It does not come from a fake tan, a "perfect" body size or fake eyelashes. Beauty is what is in your heart. It is in your confidence, in the way you treat others, in the things that you think about yourself. No one has a right to tell you that you are not beautiful. Please don't believe the lies of society. Know that you are a daughter of the King. He did not mess up when He gave you brown hair, or a crooked smile, or a larger bone structure than someone else. You are perfect in His eyes. I know that we hear it a million times, You are beautiful. I used to hear it and roll my eyes thinking yea right, they are just saying that. But it really is true. God does not make mistakes.
Now I am on a mission to squish the lies that society has planted so deeply in the minds of our young girls. It took me a long time to accept that I was beautiful. I want other girls to come to that realization too.

This is me without makeup (besides the leftover eyeliner of the day before)
And this is me with both my hair and makeup done
And I like both looks :)
