Scooby-Dooby-Doooo!

Yesterday as I was getting ready to head to class in the morning, I decided to turn on the TV to see what was on. the first channel I flipped was playing a show that brought the biggest smile to my face. 

YES THAT IS RIGHT. Good ol' Scooby-Doo and the gang helped me start my morning. As I watched this episode to Scooby-Doo (which wasn't one of the original ones...boo...) a million memories rushed back into my head. The Saturday mornings of waking up early to catch every single episode that they played. We had all the books and comics that had been made, and we knew all of the stories like they were our own stories and we were actually there.

As I grew older, I began to catch on to all the stories. Daphine would always get lost or kidnapped. Fred would find her. Shaggy and Scooby would always end up finding food and eating it all in 5 seconds. Eventually there would be a chase scene where the monster would chase everyone around the area. Fred would create a trap. Velma would figure out the mystery and who was behind it. The monster would say "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids." as their mask got pulled off.

Even though I always knew what would happen, the show never got old. Oh how I wish I could go back to those days.... :)

Waiting for Something Beautiful.

Fav song of the moment: Something Beautiful by Needtobreathe. 

"Hey now, this is my desire: Consume me like a fire, 'cause I just want something beautiful to touch me- I know that I'm in reach, 'cause I'm down on my knees, waiting for something beautiful."

Being up at school for just about a month now, I'm come to realize that decisions are pretty much everything you do. It's not that I didn't know that decision are important in your life, but it's become very clear to me over the past few weeks. The classes you take, if you're gonna do your homework now or later, who you're going to hang out with, what you wanna eat and where, how you act and much more are just some of the few things that you have to decide every day. It's hard. Who knew that going off to school would mean that you make EVERY decision for yourself. Oh wait....I did. I just didn't except it to be like this. 

Growing up is harder then I thought it would be. You aren't in high school anymore where your teachers give you pretty much every answer and make sure you're caught up on homework. YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN. Your decision start to effect your classwork and how your day goes. 

The biggest decision I'm having to make at the moment is whether or not I'll be going on a mission trip to Guatemala over spring break with the youth group I joined up here in Pullman. It's such a awesome opportunity and would be an experience of a life time. Traveling half way across the world to teach kids about God's love and helping out a community in need. Something Beautiful. The only thing that keeps coming into my head when I think about this mission trip is Lodge Grass. Not being able to go this next summer breaks my heart every time I think about it. But I think that this mission trip would be a good exchange for not getting to go to Lodge Grass. Some more prayer should show me the right choice. Either way, it's something beautiful that's worth waiting for.
