Unproductive in Croatia

Tomorrow morning I leave for my class in Dubrovnik, Croatia. I am so excited to finally be the world traveller that I've always wanted to be... but I am unbelievably freaked out about my checked bag! I am so afraid of it getting lost that I'm having problems enjoying the excitement. I should be over the moon and completely care free about a suitcase full of my stuff. I need to just not worry about it. I should just enjoy this and lay the experience wash over me.
I still have packing left, a paper to finish, and a presentation on God knows what American foreign policy to complete all before tomorrow's flight lands in Croatia. Wish be lick lieblings <3

True Grit

Sometimes I wish that I had true grit. Mattie Ross is completely driven and absolutely determined to get what she wants. She stands up to John Wayne... uhm, AWESOME! Imagine what life would feel like - what we could accomplish - if we had the gumption that she did!!! Oh, the possibilities! I want to have true grit for my life. PURE DETERMINATION. And standing up to the John Wayne in my life: percieved limitations & insecurities. I want to live by the law of true grit.
Even in our pursuits of God. Let not small setbacks seperate us from our beautiful Savior. In our scholastic endevours; let not one F destroy your dreams of success. In all things in your life have TRUE GRIT!!!
What is it in your life that needs true grit?

Private becoming public.

I have always been mostly private save but with a few select people. But I have been wanting to begin a blog for a long while now; just to share inspiring things. I hope that it will be a small success... a.k.a. my mom becomes a follower. It's the small things.
Stay tough, doll-face,
