3-Day for the Cure

I just wanted to make this post to bring awareness to the continual need to fund breast cancer research. I'm sure you guys all know someone who has battled or is currently battling breast cancer. Why not help out how you can and financially support breast cancer research? No amount is too small! Someone I know has personally battled and survived breast cancer, and she now does anything she can to help find the cure. Her name is DeLese Range, and she is the mother to one of my friends at Iowa State. She is such a strong, inspirational woman, and she has beaten cancer twice. If you want to read about her incredible story and/or make a financial contribution as she will be doing the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60 mile walk again this year then click here. Remember, no amount is too small! Please also join me in sending up some prayers for Mrs. Range as she trains and fundraises for this event.  

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.  -2 Corinthians 4:7-9

Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.  -Isaiah 41:10

Very truly, I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy.  -John 16:20

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.  -Proberbs 3:5

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.  -2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Blah

I've officially failed at this blog thing. Nothing too exciting happening in my life now anyways besides my new phone. I love my droid (minus the update) so flushing my old phone down the toilet--which takes skill by the way--wasn't such a bad thing after all.

& it's VEISHEA week now. woot woot. Had a pre-veishea event this past weekend at the Theta Chi formal which was pretty fun. Including having to go into the hotel tunnel w/ all the other guests because of the tornado. The best part may have been taking over the DJ music by hooking up my Zune and starting a Michael Jackson dance party with Voss.

A few pictures from formal:

Speaking of Michael Jackson... everyone should read the book Michael Jackson Conspiracy by Aphrodite Jones. Great book. Speaks the truth. I love that man. I love his music. I love who he was as a person. I love how caring, sweet, loving, and child like he was. It's such a sad, sad, sad story how this sweet man was so greatly taken advantage of by money hungry people and the sick, lying, disgusting media. Such a sad story. I miss him greatly, and I wish so badly that I could have seen a concert and met him. I love Michael Jackson. "It's all about the love. L.O.V.E." Also, if you haven't seen the movie This Is It you definitely should... now. A-mazing. Love. Michael. & if you ever want to make me cry then play Beyonce live in concert singing her MJ tribute "Halo". I tear up every time. Love. Michael.
