Things can change

Who would have thought ya know? At the age of 19 I finally think I found someone who could possibly like me for….me. Hopes aren’t even up high at this point. If I start to put my hopes up at this point, it’ll be deja vu all over again. All of my girlfriends who are noticing something from what I tell them thinks this guy likes me. I’m flattered at this point and sort of think the same thing they are now but my mindset has been like this: The Lord is my priority. He and my loved ones are the only ones that stay on my mind and heart right now. They come first. If the Lord thinks that there’s someone out there for me, He will show me through His goodness and love. And I, as His daughter, will learn to see & soon understand what My Father has for me to learn in this life I live. I am blessed already with a loving family and amazing friends that have stuck by me through the light and dark times. Love them with all my heart and again blessed. Boy or no boy in my life, I know my priorities and I’m in a good, happy place. <3 

Remember my friends: Live Strong, Stay Strong<3



No one is an outcast in God’s eyes. Everyone is accepted, just as they are.

Spread love, not hate.  One of my top mottos I’ve always been trying to live everyday. Getting back to the relationship I had with the Lord during my Kairos retreat is going to be hard. The fact that 1) my Kairos retreat has now been over a year ago and 2) most of the people I’m surrounded by aren’t really….religious and whatnot I guess you could say.  In all honesty, before I even went on Kairos, I forgot about the Lord except during big events when I lose courage and strength.  Basically when I needed Him most was when I remembered Him.  Not once did I even thank Him.  As I realize this now, I feel bitter and having the need to go back to where I was during Kairos is going to be a long journey.  I have an amazing friend who have helped me get my relationship with the Lord in a happy place: Ashley. 

No clue if she will ever see this post but she’s one of the main people in my life right now that is helping me get back on track.  She has been there for me and has been honest with me from the moment I met her.  She is a strong person and an amazing friend. To me, as a daughter of Christ, she is living her “daughterly” ways as a child of Christ. (Daughterly is not a word but in this case lets say it is :]).  She touched the lives of so many and seeing her pictures and updates from her trip with her church when they went to Zambia is very inspiring.  I feel like I say this too much but I am very blessed that she’s a part of my life as one of my best friends and my loving sister in Christ<3

Never be afraid to be yourself. That’s what I remind myself everyday. Just like the Jonas Brothers’ quote that happens to be one of my mottos now, “Live like you’re at the bottom even when you’re at the top. The same people will there with you on the way up as they were with you when you were down.” Okay so the second part isn’t really word for word but hopefully you (the reader) gets what I mean :). 

Live Strong, Stay Strong my loving friends and family <3 


Completely different subject

I go to the gym…it’s normal ya know? Ever since I started working out there, I see this guy…. BOOM! That’s where everything went wrong.  I’m supposed to hate most boys right now in general (unless I’m friends with them) BUT nooooo. Once I start hating them, days later someone new magically appears and its the game all over again. I seriously got it bad right now. 

I don’t even know his name. The only way we’ve been communicating: eyes and smiles.


I normally don’t like surprises….

BUT my loving sister in Montana surprised me with a fb message and I didn’t realize she was online. I figured she was offline and happened to reply to the message right away. Trust me, I fangirled pretty bad cause that’s how much I miss her :) It’s tough. Having one of your best friends in a different time zone, miles & miles away from you and being able to find free time in order to catch up and talk is hard. I know that our friendship is strong and no matter the complications or problems that come in our way, we’ll be best friends til the end of time<33


Take me for who I am

I experienced freshmen orientation today at school.  Though at first I was nervous and overthinking things, overall it turned to be an awesome experience! Not only did I have a lot of fun and met some awesome people, but it was a HUGE stress reliever. It’s odd that I was around people that I don’t vent to and I felt at complete ease with them.  Like I did not know who majority of my friends were when I was around these freshmen and some upper-classmen. I only remembered those who mattered and has made an impact in my life. Those who will not change me for who I am. Those who won’t force me into doing something I am not comfortable doing. They say that you only live once, and take chances. Take risks. There are moments where I admit yes those phrases are true. They are indeed true but not always necessary. I live my life the way I want to live it. If someone can’t be happy dealing with a person like me, then leave. I don’t want you to change me. It irritates me when someone tells me, “We MUST change that!” Honestly, please you’re dealing with someone who takes most things seriously….PEOPLE YOU MUST BARE WITH ME AS THE PERSON I AM. Yes, I am learning to take a hint at chizz now.  But seriously and recently, past experiences have changed how I see many things and how I see people. Some of those experiences are good and others are bad. 

For one thing, the whole sleepover thing….I don’t care how hard you try to persuade me. I still live with my parents. I live under their roof. Tough luck if I’m 19 years old now. Their house, their rules. Honestly it is tough to live under those circumstances but I grew up with it and I turned out just fine. I have never slept over someone else’s house.  I have never dated. Never been kissed. Never drank. Never smoked. I know people would say “Never say never,” but why make a big deal with chizz like that? Smoking and drinking are honestly not necessary. EVEN HOOKAH. I don’t care if it’s not really smoking, don’t make me try it. I know I’ve said “oh yeah I’m gonna try it.” Guess what….I LIED! I’m not trying something that I know I would not like doing. Even though I have never done chizz like that, I’m not following the whole YOLO concept. It’s stupid. Look at the generation of kids and teens NOW. By the looks of it, we all got worse. My generation? People that graduated same year as me? For jimminee cricket sake, I don’t like my generation. This is why I have older friends now because they’re mature and know. People would think that I have a lot of friends, which is true I do. I’m FRIENDLY to a lot more people. BUT since I’m being truthful throughout this entire post, I have two best friends from grade school, two best friends from high school, and four best friends from college. If you add those up, those are the people I KNOW will stick with me and love me for who I am. I mean the four friends I have in college, they have yet to learn more about me but one of them practically knows me inside out (even though she’s in a COMPLETELY different time zone and state). 

Most people call me deprived. Me? I’m Nerisa Lyn Rasing and I don’t give a flying care with what people call me.


Sister in Christ

One of my best friends left for Montana yesterday :( Praying for her and I know she will be great with what she does. She has changed the lives of many and has touched hearts everywhere. She is a wonderful friend and sister anyone could ask for. She helped get through so much and has seen me at my best & worst times. I love her and I know she will experience the best. The Lord has done so much good to her so far and He will continue to watch over His daughter, my sister, as she goes through this journey this upcoming year<3



June 23, 2012

Demi Lovato and Hot Chelle Rae concert. Seriously one of the best days in the summer so far! I can replay every bit that happened that entire day and not forget.  Last time I saw Demi perform was July 5, 2009! (I think it was that date.) Only dates of concerts I keep track of are the Jonas Brothers. :p

So here are the concerts I have been to so far:

December 14, 2005 @ Philly (Kimmel Center)
December 3, 2006 @  Philly (TLA) Jingle Jam Concert for Radio Disney
July 29, 2007 @ Penns Landing (FREE CONCERT) AND MET THEM!!!! :D
August 27, 2008 @ Camden (Susquehanna Bank Center) Burnin’ Up Tour w/ Demi<33
July 23, 2009 @ Philly (Wachovia Center) World Tour :)) 

Only tour I didn’t get to see them perform was the Camp Rock tour plus any Nick J and the Administration shows that were nearby.  Yup, 3 years ago was the last time I saw Demi perform which is CRAZY!!! I was super happy to see her perform though and ecstatic because in my eyes, she’s still a talented performer and such a bubbly, funny 19yearold girl living her dream<33 One of my inspirations! Love her<33


I love this<3
