Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.- 1 Timothy 4:12 (NASB).

Verse of the Day
Sunday's a Good Day
For me, studying French can be frustrating. One, because it's studying and I don't really want to do it. Two, because I'm super tired from dance practice and it's hard to concentrate when I just want to be a couch potato and not do anything. But when I look back on today, I feel that I can get through studying till 11. Maybe after this blog. :)
Anyways, at my church this morning, I was in the car with one of my friends and one of the moms in the church walks by with her three girls. She comes to say hi to my friend and then asks me if I'm Tori. I told her yes ma'am and she told me that Saturday after everyone from my campus ministry group left after the cookout we had at their home, her daughters asked her who, of the college students, was her favorite. After informing her three daughters that all the students were her favorite, they proceeded to tell her that I was their favorite. Just for the record, that conversation definitely made my day.
This morning when I woke up, I found that I had a round brownish colored bruise on my right shoulder. It didn't take me more than a second to realize where I got it from. In dance rehearsal yesterday, the choreography for the dance called for a shoulder roll. So we did a lot of shoulder rolls. Unfortunately, that means boney little Tori's shoulder was going to get sore and bruised. Nonetheless, I was very proud of my bruise and proceeded to show off my bruise to any who would listen to my story. Many of my athletic friends understood my pride of my "battle scar" because they too have had several "battle scars."
Looking forward to this week. It looks like it will be busy, but a good one. There is a NYT report due this week so...maybe a good week after that. :D

First Blog Entry
So I got this idea from a couple friends, but the encouragement for this really came from my friend, Danielle, who said that she would read my blog if I started one. :) So I guess my first entry would be about why I want to write this blog.
The first idea for this entry was to talk about the title, but then I remembered the first title that I wanted to use: "Fighting Dragons." Fighting Dragons, for me, is my analogy of my struggles in life. As a first year college student, there were definitely tons of struggles. I won't bore you, but I definitely found that as I entered my second semester, I've become more skilled in fighting dragons and it's only because of God that I have the strength, will, and passion to do this.
The title that I ended up using is "Dancing Through Life." I chose this name because I am a dancer. I am currently a member of a dance company. And I love it so much. At the first rehearsal, we did an improv circle. It felt so good to just let go and let the music take you. I didn't know what I was doing because I was letting the music govern what movements I did. On a daily basis, you can find with my ear phones on listening to my favorite music like Mumford & Sons, John Rzeznik, A Fine Frenzy, and William Fitzsimmons. Music is apart of my life, ever since I was in grade school. Music is a gift, so enjoy!
