In My Head.......

So I've been thinking a lot about opening up to people about who I am and this is something that I think a lot of people need to know about me in order to understand me the most. I'm a introverted person! So I was looking around on the internet for a really good definition of introvert and I found an amazing one on About.com and it says the following:


Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.

Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to "recharge."

When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.

Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk. (http://giftedkids.about.com/od/glossary/g/introvert.htm)

I see myself in all those aspects that they talked about in the article and I'm sure if you ask the people around me about my personality they would definitely be able to tell you some of the things that article just explained. So I hope that helps you understand a little more about me and my introverted personality.

Just Up Over That Hill....

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

So over these past few weeks I have been talking, blogging, and just thinking alot about my future. Why is this? I have no idea, but today and just over the weekend I was talking to my friends about plans. These plans could mean future work plans, relationship plans, financial plans, and even plans on what we're going to eat for dinner tonight but just plans. So I've really been thinking alot about the plans that God has for me as I'm getting older and moving on through life. So when I look ten years into my life, I know that I'm going to be in the psychology career someway. I don't know how but I know I will be. I love listening and talking to people and essentially giving advice if they need it. I feel like God has giving me the tools to be able to take on such an emotional job because of struggles I've had and through things I've learned. Next I guess is relationships, when I look ten years down the road I don't see a relationship with anyone. This could be for two reasons I guess, one is the life that God has for me is just not going to be able to be fulfilled with someone in it. Second reason I guess could be that a relationship is to happen way later on in my life. But I'm pretty sure it's the first one. I think right now when I think about it I'm ok with that part of my life but I guess i'll have to see when I'm actually a bit older and everyone around me is getting married and having babies!! Next there is financial plans. I go to a university where kids who graduate here with a plan are going to go off and make alot of money. I'm not sure that is going to be me at all. I don't actually think to much about it either. I just know that God is going to provide what I need as best He can and if He has given me the desire for the job I want then He's going to take care of me. Now as far as my plans for dinner... Hmmm not fountain dining hall!!! hahaha!!! Now your plans may be extremely different from mine but I believe there are an infinite amount of plans that God has out there for everyone, we just have to let Him guide us on the right path.

What A Man..... On The Wings Of Love.....

Sooooo....... If you know me, you all know that I was watching the Bachelor last night. And you also know that I WAS HIGHLY UPSET!!! So yes Mr. Jake, the man who was so sweet and just so cute and lovable, ends up picking Vienna (Muffin!!!!!). Definitely not my pick but I guess he saw something in her. So that got me to thinking. If a future mate is in the cards for me, then what do I want in them? This show has a man or woman on it; they go on this show with these ideas about who they want and they sift through 20 or so people to find their potential mate. But through the process that person changes and their beliefs and values potentially change (which is what I believe happened this season) which could lead them to choose someone who they necessarily wouldn't have chosen in the beginning. But that's tv!!! Let's talk real life!! So I'm 20!! Sophomore in College!! So that means I got two years to get my life together before it's real world time (I don't think mama's going to let me live with her forever). I know friends who are getting married and are only two years older than me. I know girls who are only a year or so older than me who are in serious relationships who are dating their boyfriends now to potentially marry them. So if this is the time for me to be thinking about those types of things then I need to be ready and to know what I want in a mate. I don't want to be like Jake who gets all conflicted in the end because he lets "physical" stuff get in the way of making a choice in the end. I want to know! So what is it that I would be looking for in my mate? Do I just want a smart, handsome, funny guy who loves music? NO! The women in my family haven't had the greatest luck with finding mates (sorry!!!) but it's so true and one of the many things my mom has told me is to pray pray pray for the man you want. And be specific!!! God says ask and He will listen. The worst that could happen is that He says no to some of the things you ask for but maybe it was for a good reason in the first place. So why not come up with a list of good qualities in a man that you want and ask for them!! Lets see hmmmm believer, loves Jesus, is honest, is faithful, is smart, funny, cute, plays piano, likes music.....
