| I have avoided this thing for a while now. Why? Because I'm an almost 21 year old, female, single, writer who thinks that she should probably spend her time writing elsewhere. Xanga has served me well with a way to escape frustration and confusion. However, its been quite a while since I've really needed it. Most of my friends who previously used xanga religiously have moved on, and I think, for the most part, I will as well. I love writing, and have for a long time. I have decided to keep my xanga when I desire to write random inspiring things, but not for updates on my life. So, therefore, this is my last update for you all.
I am headed off to Cheltenham, England (not London) to study there for 5 months. My flight leaves on Jan. 31st and I am unsure yet overwhelming estatic. There are so many ideals that I hope to find and experience to further my imagination so that I can begin to write my personal portfolio of poetry/stories/manuscripts. Why have I decided to get serious about being a writer? Well, I have had serious issues with my purpose as a believer on this earth. And through all my thoughts and questions I have found such comfort and hope in writing. I could use my ability to convey ideas and truth through what I say and how I say it. I hope to listen to what God says to me, study his word, learn how the big picture works together, and fight the unseen battle through my poetry/stories of fiction or non-fiction based on sound truth as it is revealed to me. I am just so astounded that it has taken me so long to discover this gift and purpose. I have been so in love with writing since I was first able to form a sentence. Such a simplicity lies deep within the complexity of astounding truth by allowing the devine collection of words and ideas. I know that I must be rambling on now, but I just wanted to get this down if not for others' sake, then for my personal future reference.
If you read this in the future and have any comments on what I write, please leave them to help me grow as a writer in style, form, and intellect. Thanks a lot guys!

| A couple of days ago while driving to work, I stared upward as birds literally covered the sky in flight. As I watched I felt the car swerve, and I snapped back to reality. My eyes safely and calmly were drawn back to these millions of little lives seemingly floating above me while my music played, "You are worthy, so worthy, Lord." In my eyes the skies were filled with unsurpassed life and passion and zest, how else can you look at our world? The sun was setting and the clouds seemed to pull the sun away from us, and I couldn't help but think, "Lord, let my life be like those birds. Fearless, alive, close to you. Lord, let my life be like the sun. Shining, persevering, bringing your glory to the world amongst those who try and hide it."
May you be encouraged, now, to live like the birds, and shine like the sun. For you were created to be more than just that. You were loved above all. Hear that, know that, and use that.
