God Always has a Plan

    Recently I have been thinking about God and his plans for me. During the end of my senior year and all of summer I thought that His plan for me was to go to IUPUI. There were all of these signs that I thought were leading me to Indianapolis, but really it was just me listening to my wants. Almost everything was lining up except for housing. I had a very good job lined up, one of my best friends was going to attend there as well, and I was in love with campus and the city. The only thing my mother and I could not figure out was housing. Where was I going to live that wouldn't put me in debt?

    My mom really felt that I wasn't supposed to go away for college. Even my dad and stepmom felt that as well which was a big sign I should have seen that I should stay home because they are very big on me making my own decisions. Time was running out to find housing so I ended up applying to Purdue and going to school here. I am so glad I did. I have met very amazing people here and I love the small campus. I would have never made it around IUPUI's campus with my terrible sense of directions. Sometimes I can barely make it around Purdue's campus, but I love it here.

    If I had left I would be at a completely different church and it wouldn't feel right. My church here is my home and my family. If I was at IUPUI I wouldn't have met my boyfriend who I am so grateful for. I would have missed so much if I left home. Everything would be completely different. I thank God everyday for guiding me through everything. He always knows what is best for us so that all things work together for our good.

"Holy Hell"

       I decided to watch the documentary “Holy Hell” for our project. A specific part of the documentary that surprised me was when multiple people started talking about how after their therapy sessions with Andreas, who was the leader of the cult, he would have sex with them. It wasn’t just a one time thing it was after every session. Some people had multiple sessions a week and he would make them pay fifty dollars each session. One of the past followers said that he told Andreas that he didn’t want to have sex. Andreas proceeded to try to put the blame of refusal on something traumatic that happened in his past. He then still went on to have sex with him.      What surprised me was the dedication and commitment Andreas was able to inflict onto his followers. He had hundreds of people brainwashed into serving him to their fullest. When the cult first started it was about people’s spiritual upbringings. They were there to connect to their inner selves...

Fun Filled Weekend

    This weekend I went to my dad's house after not seeing them for a month due to my dad and stepmom both dealing with COVID. To start off the weekend Friday all of our family came over for and Early Thanksgiving. My parents always go to Detroit, Michigan for the Lions game Thanksgiving day so we do Thanksgiving early. My stepmom ordered a ton of Chinese food as every traditional Thanksgiving goes. We all devoured the food and moved onto making crazy gingerbread houses. Things quickly escalated when I yelled because I was stuck to a pipe cleaner with superglue. My stepmom quickly grabbed the pipe cleaner before I was stuck permanently which cause her to then become stuck permanently. My dad and I were now down a person on our team while my stepmom was soaking her fingers in warm water and soap.  Everyone finished their houses and my stepmom was thankfully unstuck from using acetone. People slowly started to leave after chatting for many hours.      Saturda...

The Van Gogh Experience

Image
    For my birthday my family and I had the incredible experience of going to the Van Gogh experience in Chicago.  I am absolutely obsessed with art and museums so this was a perfect mix. I didn't exactly know what it was. I thought it was just going to be his work in a building, but it was so much better than anything I thought it was going to be.            We walked through the velvet curtains and I was in awe. The first and biggest room was the entrance. It was tons of projectors and lights that showcased his work on the walls and the floors. It was like you were living in his work.  The entire presentation was about an hour and a half. We watched the presentation from beginning to end for about three times. The only reason we left was because we were all starving. But the peace you could feel in the room was astonishing. Everyone was admiring the beautiful work of his paintings and the work of being able to make it come alive. ...
