Confession: I’ve been meaning to do a dorm tour all semester… but either I would forget, or be too busy, or my room would be messy… And considering that school ends in a week, TODAY IS THE DAY FOR THE TOUR!! Here we go: So here’s my bed. This comforter apparently was a very popular find at Bed, Bath, & Beyond, as I have seen several other girls with this same bed set. But hey, it’s cute, so oh wells….

Whatever will come my way, through fire or pouring rain, We won’t be shaken. No, we won’t be shaken. Whatever tomorrow brings, together we’ll rise and sing, That we won’t be shaken. No, we won’t be shaken. -Building 429 Guys, we belong to a kingdom that won’t be shaken. We are citizens of the kingdom of God; nothing can shake our King, and nothing can shake us. Why then do we worry? We belong to a kingdom that will not pass away…. Read more »

This is a guest post from Kayla of Many Sparrows Every morning, I stumble out of bed, grab my Coke-bottle glasses, and shuffle my way across the hardwood floors into the kitchen. Our four-year-old waits patiently for his oatmeal, and his hand always seems to find mine as I make breakfast in the early morning hours. I pour myself coffee as our two-year-old, his bedhead just as wild as his little heart, comes hustin’ out of his room. Motherhood, you… Read more »

Last week I told you lovelies about my university’s revival. Well, I didn’t mention something that I fully believe is a complete God-thing. One of my revival small group leaders teaches a Zumba class here at Not Hogwarts. Zumba. And, unlike last semester, the Zumba classes no longer conflict with my work schedule. *Cheers* I love Zumba. Over the summer, I attended some Zumba classes at a local gym for the first time ever, and I couldn’t believe how fun it was. So,… Read more »

This five point guide will help you create a master plan to slay your finals... and maybe a dragon or two along the way :)

And, it’s time for final exams again… …I really don’t want to think about finals. I’d rather pretend that this glorious thing called summer can come without the dreary rain cloud of exams. But, finals are coming, and they’re coming rapidly. You know, if we were knights, and finals were a dragon, and we heard that said fiery dragon was going to attack us within the upcoming month, we wouldn’t just sit there. No. We would prepare. We would sharpen… Read more »

Big. White. Tent. Middle. Of. Campus. If that won’t get someone’s attention, I don’t know what will. (Well, maybe an earthquake, or a new Disney movie, but just go with me here.) But anywho… last week was my university’s REVIVAL!! Revival is an awesome event that takes place in a big white tent, Monday night-Wednesday night. I was totally only planning on going Monday night, as I had other things happening Tuesday and Wednesday… But after the first night I… Read more »

So, this morning kinda stunk. I didn’t set my alarms right last night, so I woke up at 8:42 for my 9:00 class… and I normally leave for it around 8:47. So, stress. And speed get ready. And panic attack. And I completely snapped at my sweet roomie, who was in the process of asking me if I wanted her to fix me a bagel… So then I felt awful , on top of rushed and stress and panic. And… Read more »

Disclaimer: These are my personal thoughts and opinions. I by no means have this whole modesty thing figured out, I just wanted to share with y’all what I’ve learned about it thus far. Feel free to disagree with me, but please keep your thoughts respectful and courteous :) Blessings! There are two things you should know about me for the following story to make sense: 1. I am a VERY legalistic person. 2. I don’t like breaking rules. Anywho… When… Read more »
