It has been a crazy year. I have changed almost everything in my entire life...my friend group, the guys I spend time with, my relationship with the Lord, my ministry, my busy lifestyle, etc. With each dare, I have learned a little bit more about myself but now it is crunch time because I only have 7 days left on campus and I'm about to do some of my most risky dares yet.
Here is the thing, in the past three days I've learned how little I've actually stood up for myself this past year, and I'm ready to change that. It seems like I'm not only sad about leaving, but also sad with some of the negative changes I've seen in myself this year...my confidence being one of them.
If you've met me, you probably know that I love being outgoing, meeting new people, and loving life...and I've been confident in who I am for quite some time, based off of the fact that I am a daughter of the king. That doesn't change the fact that I still struggle with having a back bone occasionally when it comes to not letting people push me around. (If you ask any of my guy friends back home they will tell you this is super opposite of who I was back in the day).
I think that you should serve the Lord and treat others with respect, but you have to also be willing to find confidence in Christ and have respect for yourself. So BIOLA, be ready for a few personal challenges this week, especially in my own relationships. Let's start outward and work in towards the heart... For starters, tomorrow is a new day. I am daring myself to get this little cartilage part of my ear pierced.
Friday will also consist of going to Disneyland, where I will take some long awaited dares :) I need as many as I can get because this is the last time you'll be hearing from me for awhile. Alright friends 7 days, your dares, my own dares, and counting down to heading home! Let's go!
