You Are More

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."  We all heard that growing up and we all know it's not true.  Words can pierce your heart like a dagger and bring you down.  And Ladies, we especially have a hard time with this.  So let me just encourage you and say, you are more.


I have had people say things that preyed on my own insecurities and brought me down because I re-evaluated my self-worth.  Then there are times some mean things are said that I know absolutely aren't true and those don't hurt.  It's because I know that's not who I am.  I know I am daughter to a Holy King who loves me and sees everything about me before it ever happens. I know when people judge off a perceived image it's usually based on other factors. So I say to you, do not lets words dictate how you see yourself or worse yet, how you feel about yourself.  Worry about what God thinks.  The opinions of other people have no eternal consequences.  The time when the opinion of others is most useful is when it prevents you from doing something foolish.

People may never let you live down a mistake, may hold it against you in the future when you haven't messed up, but God is quick to forgive and forget when you ask Him.  "I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?  What can mere mortals do to me?" Psalm 56:11

Stop worry about what others think:  about you, about your life, about your problems.  The only result that brings is counterproductive.  Instead, remember that God is on your side.   And in Him and Him alone is where you will find ultimate comfort and resolution.  We are all sinners.  We didn't nothing to deserve the gospel and we can't do anything to take it away.

11 years ago... We Will Never Forget..

Bonfire.   What began as a trash heap in 1909 grew into a massive wedding cake design, which at its tallest stood 109 feet, 10 inches. Bonfire symbolized A&M’s burning desire to beat the hell out of t.u. It was a task of a monstrous size instituted and executed almost entirely by students over the course of a near-century.  It brought to together the Corps of Cadets, non-regs, residential halls, men, and women to build this monument to Aggie dedication and fervor. Bonfire became emblematic of Aggieland and held a meaning greater than just the desire to win a football game. It symbolized the Aggie spirit and a dedication and drive for building something greater than ourselves.   Those who saw it burn on campus have said there was nothing like it. The heat and flame was so much that it even burned their shadows into the ground. Those who built it can attest to the sheer amount of strength and manpower it took to construct a project of that size and magnitude. It was absolut

Softly Call the Muster... Let Comrade answer "here"

So I know I've gotten a little off track in my blogging.  It's thanks to my busy schedule and a new email pen pal, but this is one Aggie story I can't miss... Muster :  One of the GREATEST traditions at Texas A&M.  What Reed Arena will look like tomorrow Muster- also called muster roll (formerly) a list of persons to come together; collect; assemble; gather. One hundred years before I was ever born, Aggies gathered together on June 26,1883 to live over again their college days, the victories and defeats won and lost upon the drill field and in the classroom. By April 21, 1903, this annual gathering evolved into a celebration of Texas' Independence on San Jacinto Day.  It was not until 1922, however, that April 21 became the official day of events for all Aggies, thus, the annual tradition of Muster was born. The March 1923 Texas Aggie urged, 'If there is an A&M man in one-hundred miles of you, you are expected to get together, eat a little, and li

This post is dedicated to the greatest couple I ever had the chance of working under, Brandon and Tiffany Verzal.  Brandon was my boss and Tiffany (his wife) came on board a short time later as my superior or Supervisor, either way, I had to answer to them both for a little more than three years in college:  BEST 3+ years I ever had..  You know how they say "if you love what you do, it's not work"?  Well, these two helped me to truly realize what that meant.. The captain of my Christian Dance Team, Chara, knew I wanted to be a sports broadcaster and heard about this job orientation to work in the athletic department at A&M.  I went to the orientation and interviewed with an auditorium full of people at Texas A&M for this paid internship with the athletic department doing video productions.  That was the first day I was introduced to Brandon.  He stood in the front of the auditorium and introduced himself to the big group of students.  He told the us how he and hi
