Well well... what to say?

My Junior year of college has been completed. It has definitely gone by faster than I imagined. It's really kind of crazy, because I can't remember much from the beginning of the year!
I have made some close friends, and I met a few new people. I don't know. I still feel as though I don't really know too many people... and I'm already going on my Senior year! I guess it's not horrible, but yet, in a sense I feel that I am unconnected at school. I suppose it's my own fault, but sometimes I feel as though people at school get into their own "cliques" and don't feel like making any more friends, so they could care less if they are friendly to you, or care if they are your friend. Maybe it's just my perception of things, but that's how I see it.
I mean, I'm a nice person... but just pretty quiet. It's definitely sometimes harder to make friends, but I seem to manage to make them anyway. So, if you ever see me... please say hi! I mean, I love making new friends... even guy friends. They really can be so helpful in growing. I've met a few guys who are just a light... they are so on fire for God... and having them in my life is a true blessing. I just love making friends with them. I guess they possess this strength and perserverance that I look for in someone I'd want to date... not necessarily that I'd date these guys, but still... it's so refreshing to see guys have goals and passions... and really want to follow God's path. It's really encouraging just to have them in my life. Some day I hope I can find a nice guy like that... who encourages me with my walk... and someone who in a sense, is a strength in my life... Every girl just wants to find a guy to be her hero...

Excerpt from "Captivating"... p.161

Jesus said, "Do not throw your pearls to pigs," (Matt. 7:6). By this we don't think he was calling some people pigs. He was saying "Look--be careful that you do not give something precious to someone who, at best, cannot recognize its beauty, or at worst, will trample on it." Consider your feminine heart and beauty your treasure, your pearls. A woman can test and see if a man is willing to move in a good direction by offering a taste of what is available with her if he does. She does not give everything in a moment. As God does, she allures and waits to see what he will do.

I'll write more later.... gotta go.
