So i talked to my best friend last night he is so mad at me but what can i do i have looked for god everywhere but I can never find him.I look,I try,I pray(sometimes) but i can never find him,I told my associate pastor kevin about it and he asked me where i left him cause that was where i would find him but i never left him .......did i? anyways this is all so strange there has to be other ways to handle this........right? I am in a box in the middle of a room but the walls are high and there are no windows I can hear voices of my friends calling me but it seems I can't find my way out.......there is no door.what else can i do? 

What do you call a person who likes you but pretends that they don't?

April 04 2006

What do you call a friend that doesn't want you to know that they still like you, even when you told them that you weren't ready for a boyfriend yet?

HEY

April 04 2006
HI, Im Amber and I am so bored right now...well oh well ... i dont know how to work this thing.. maybe computers should crash..NOOO..lol... .............  Im going to be attending MTSU in the Fall YAY!! College here I come...lol

Hurry

April 04 2006
Ever notice that when you are in a complete and one hundred percent hurry that the people in front of you seem to be taking their sweet time and go very very slowly?  It's crazy.

So....

April 03 2006

So yea I know I really haven't been updating much but who would have ever guessed it I work entirely too much


lets see not the best day but I will get over it....I have been sick lately I really don't know what it is or what might have caused it


I met someone.....I guess thats my whole news of the month......I mean I am really falling for this girl and it was during this whole period of mine in which I really didn't and kinda don't want to date but Idk I am falling pretty hard and I don't know what to do about it besides hope I don't hit the ground or start flying


someone I was hanging out with said it best or at least I think I heard it I don't remember either I heard it or read it but, "love is like jumping off a cliff, believing you can fly"


she's been the only one who has made me believe I could fly

Dr. Seuss Failed Me

April 03 2006

There I stood in front of an audience of 4.  Never met these people in my life.  I must give them a 20 minute presentation on any topic of my choice and what do I choose...The Life Lessons of Dr. Seuss.


Quick Outline:


- Use your imagination (see "And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street" and "If I Ran the Zoo.")
- Try new things ("Green Eggs and Ham")
- Make Mistakes and Learn from them ("The Cat in the Hat" and "The Lorax")
- Accept other people ("The Sneeches")
- Respect the environment ("The Lorax")
- And closed with a quote from "Oh! The Places You Will Go"


Now the question is raised as to why I was giving such a presentation...simple, this was a job interview.  Unfortuntely I did not get the job and will not be moving to Wisconsin. But in other news I have found a job here in Nashville working in Accounting at SMS Holdings (Thanks to my good friend Kelley).  And despite what was said the last post I will also continue working at Wal-mart during weekends (They would not let me quit).  Anyways that is why I suggest that Dr. Seuss failed me because he did not help me land the job.

What's the point?

April 03 2006
Why do I bother?

the first day back to school

April 03 2006

aloha



i returned to school today. it was boring. i fell asleep a lot, due to the past week of staying up late, and sleeping in. i went to sleep early yesterday, and woke up early. but, i was exhausted.



first period was okay. we had an activity, i used my genetics paired up with a partner (i was unfortunate enough to be one of the many pairs that were both males, but at least i was the father). here is what our baby will look like:



round face, round chin, medium brown skin, straight hair, dark brown hair, bushy eyebrows, no unibrow, black eyebrows, avg distance between eyes, large eyes, almond-shaped eyes, upward-slanted eyes, long eyelashes, hazel eyes, avg mouth size, thin lips, one dimple, large nose, straight nose, narrow nostrils, attached earlobe, many freckles. ugly, ya?



we started the modern history of hawai'i today in history. we watched two movies on polynesia. the only thing i learned was polynesia was roughly in the shape of a triangle, with new zealand to the south, easter islands (chile) to the southeast, and hawai'i to the north. everything inbetween those islands are part of polynesia, like samoa, tonga, tahiti, fiji, places lahdat.



im so tired. i am pau for the day.



aloha



\edit\


i just saw like two mistakes, one completely random word, and saying something stupid. they were both corrected, the random word was taken out, and the other mistake was fixed.

Laughing so hard at the memories you cry

April 03 2006
Who doesn't remember all this???

A trip down memory lane, I love it!

Anybody under the age of 15 should not read this, and if you do, you should not repost this.

Just because you were born in '92 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the nineties just wont cut it.

You're a 90's kid if:

You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"

You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"

You remember when Kurt Cobain, 2Pac, River Phoenix, and Selena died.

You know that "WOAH" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House"

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early
on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

You remember reading "Goosebumps"

You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

You danced to "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls, Females: had a new motto, Males: got a whole lot gay-er. (so tell me what you want, what you really really want.)

You remember the craze, then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.

You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego? was both a game and a TV game show.

Captain Planet.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.

When playing power rangers with friends you fought over who got to be who............and still all ended up being Tommy.

You remember when super nintendo's became popular.

You remember watching home alone 1, 2 , and 3........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

"I've fallen and I can't get up"

You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates

Two words... Trapper Keeper.

You wore socks over leggings scrunched down

"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back" SHE ASKED HER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER FOR FIFTY CENTS CENTS CENTS TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS PHANTS PHANTS JUMP OVER THE FENCE THE FENCE THE FENCE
he jumped so high high high he touched the sky sky sky and he didnt come back back back til the forth of july ly ly he jumped so low ow ow he stubbed his toe toe toe and thats the end end end of the elephants show show show

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players

You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"

You played and/or collected "Pogs"

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere

You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff!

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand.(pencils.notebooks.binders.etc.)

You remember when the new Beanie Babies and talking Elmo were always sold out.

You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.

You remember a time before the WB.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" ... enough said

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"



When we were younger:

Before the MySpace frenzy...

Before the Internet & text messaging...

Before Sidekicks & iPods...

Before MIKE JONES...

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...

...Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

When light up sneakers were cool.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.

When you had a jansport backpack and wore the one strap.

When those big ass Starter jackets were the bomb.

When you slow danced to boys'2'men almost got emotional.

When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.

When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.

UCLA beat USC every year in football.

Way back.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

Back in the Swing

April 03 2006

Uhh... Not quite ready to go back, but I'll make it. Hope that this week goes by fast though...


Youth group was great tonight. We now have four girls at one time, and five guys. It doesn't sound like much, but it is a fun improvement. We enjoyed ourselves playing basketball, talking, eating pizza, and most important having a really good lesson from Romans 12: 9-20. It was all about compassion, brotherly love, and how to act with your enemies. It sounds like the basic Golden Rule stuff, but Aaron applied it to high school and it really struck home. It made me realize some things about myself and gave me some thoughts on how to act better.


Feelin kinda down, but tommorow is a good day comin on...




Good Night

tired

April 03 2006

today was okay. that's about all i know to describe it.


Rooming with rachel m., amy k. and someone else. should be interesting.


less than eight weeks until schools out. i dont know if i am ready. i mean i want to be a senior but it just means that i am that much closer to being an adult, leaving my family, going off to college.


it just has seemed to fly by soooo fast. i mean one minute it is freshman year, scared to death and the next minute i am trying to choose between one college or another. now i know where the expression time flies comes into play.


I love my friends! they always make me laugh, smile and bring up my day.


what a year this has been. the ups and the downs. the good and the not so good. the happy and the sad. but no matter what i know that those certain friends will be with me forever. hopefully.


more friend stuff later. maybe tomorrow before i leave.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz... bored...

April 03 2006
People are cool... At least, that's what I think... Do you have a different opinion? I'm going to be bored this week so post lots... bordom isn't fun... i don't like the show that my parents are watching... their watching the Aprentice...<(spelling?)<

April 03 2006
So, I like this guy and I want to ask him if he wants to hang out or something, but I don't know if that would be weird. I also don't want to ruin the friendship we have or make it awkward. hmm...quite puzzling.

There's too many words to say
That you've heard many times before
I feel it, and I fear it's drawing near
The day you shall be near me no more.
I just pray before then you realize my thoughts
You truly understand what goes through my mind
And how I think of you all the time,
With a love that's of the most special kind
A kind you might never be able to find again.....
--------------------------
Well I must have passed this spot
A thousand times
The carpet stares, grown thin
I guess when someone's in love
They can make a profession
Out of thinking about that special someone.

I can't help but feel you'll never understand
I can't help but think I'll be like this forever
Not to say my heart be wasted
But not ever able to love someone else

Only God knows what you mean to me....

SnapShot

April 03 2006
Here's a photo taken with my camera phone:


I'll try to find something more interesting to take a picture of in the near future. Not that Nathan with his mouth open isn't exciting, but...

So sorry I've been slacking with blogging. I guess I feel like my life is genuinely unexciting these days. I have to keep reminding myself that there is a reason for everything, and that God is always working through me and in my life, even if I do not see it. I got a 96 on my speech today on why MTSU should ban on campus smoking. I really think I might do my next one on the seperation of church and state. Partly because I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it.

I mean, I would love for prayer to be in schools, and I think if it is, then everyone of every religion should have the right to pray. So this kinda brings me to my next point, which is that the whole issue is a really complicated one. I think a student should have the right to pray in school, but I don't necessarily know if I believe in a vocalized prayer time, because then we would have to acknowledge every god of every religion and that's a bit much. So anyhow, it'll be a thought-provoking topic for sure. It'll give me a whole lot to think about...

Back to School

April 03 2006

So spring break was amazing... as it always is.  and now i've been thrown back into the slew of long school days of feigning interest and even longer nights of no sleep.


royal suckage.  2 weeks would defenitly be preferable to one. however i realize that this pattern would only continue to grow and a year later we will be begging for 3 weeks.. where as we might as well be inrolled in a year round school... which would be even worse of a hell.  So here it is... I am thankful for my one week of spring break .. :D... remember this moment



interesting things have been happening.... im thinking they'll just get even more interesting.  Which i am very keen on experiencing.


oh wish my life lots of luck....


"do you believe in God?  Because if you do, you cannot believe in life."



Because there are things in men, in the best of us, which are above all states, above all collectives!  Do you ask:  What things?  Man's mind and his values.  Look at yourself, honostly and fearlessly.  Look and dont tell me, dont tell anyone, jsut tell yourself:  what are you living for? Aren't you living for yourself and only for yourself?  Call it your aim, your love, your cause-- isn't it still your cause?  Give your life, die for your ideal--isn't it still your ideal?  Every honest man lives for himself.  The one who doesn't-- doesn't live at all.  You cannot change it.  YOu cannot change it because thats the way man is born, alone, complete, and an end in himself.  No laws, no Party, no GPU will ever kill that thing in man which knows how to say "I".  YOu cannot enslave man's mind, you can only destroy it.  You have tried.  Now look at what your getting.  Look at those whom you allow to triumph.  Deny the best and men-- and see what will survive.  Do we want the crippled, creeping, crawling, broken monstrosities that we're producing?  Are we not castrating life in order to perpetuate it?


from We the Living.


Back in school.....

April 03 2006

seem to be everyone's topic...


yeah it sucks..but just think about it..20 something more days til we are out...til august...


which i want it to be august..cuz then i turn 17...

End of Spring Break

April 03 2006

So, yesturday was more fun that I thought it would be. We woke up around 9 something....very slowly. Packed, did all that good stuff. We left around 10 something...after I kinda got distracted by the breakfast buffet. I'm not sure if I slept in the car or not...I don't think I did, but Matt said I did...so I'll go with him. Abby sure did, man...she was out, lol. We stopped at a very...well...interesting Burger King. They messed up my order, but I got it fixed. We got back in the car and Tyler called me.  I talked with him for about an hour. Eventually, we got back to Matt's house (which looks amazing) after a fun car ride.


Abby and I left Memphis around 5ish, only to get caught in a tornado. We stopped at the Walmart and had a subway while things were going on outside. We got back to Dberg to find her parents on the porch. Madre got me sudoku book. Yay! So I left around 9 something from there, after the storm cleared a little, got gas, and called Tyler so I'd have someone to talk two while I was driving back home.


The way home was different, lol. I drove through the tornado the entire time. Tyler was watching the news so he'd randomly be like "ok, you're about to go through some stuff" but that is why I love him, lol. So I got to Nashville as soon as I get there, what happens? The thunder goes on...and on...and on. I made it home around 12:15, thankfully. Took a shower, opened up a box that had my new horn case in it, unpacked, and went to sleep.


I didn't go to school today, I wanted to sleep, so I didn't really care. We were supposed to have parade practice afterschool, so I went at like 2 so I could warmup and what not, but we didn't...we have it tomorrow, so I left and here I am.


I'm going to meet Tyler around 4ish because I haven't seen him in a week. He's going to love the pocket score that I baught him at the workshop. It's Ein Heldenleben. I baught one for myself too, so now I just need to get a recording of it so I can follow along, it will be so fun.

TODAY SUCKED...

April 03 2006

Because i was so sick all day. I mean i woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose and i didn't even go to school. I couldn't even sleep last night because my throat was hurting so bad. Why is it everytime i think that i get passed something it always comes back around and bites me on the butt. Who knows. Talk to ya later

gotta knock a little harder

April 03 2006
happiness is just a word to me
and it might've meant a thing or two
if i had known the difference
emptiness, a lonely parody
and my life, another smoking gun
a sign of my indifference

always keeping safe inside
where no one ever had a chance
to penetrate a break in
let me tell you some have tried
but i would slam the door so tight
that they could never get in

kept my cool under lock and key
and i never shed a tear
another sign of my indifference
fear of love or bitter vanity
that kept me on the run
the main events of my confession

i kept a chain upon my door
that would shake the shame of Cain
into a blind submission
the burning ghost without a name
was still calling all the same
but i just wouldn't listen

the longer i'd stall, the further i'd crawl
the further i'd crawl, the harder i'd fall
i was crawlin' into the fire

the more that i saw, the further i'd fall
the further i'd fall, the lower i'd crawl
i kept fallin' into the fire

suddenly it occured to me
the reason for the run and hide
had totaled my existence
everything left on the other side
could never be much worse than this
but could i go the distance

i faced the door and all my shame
tearin' off each piece of chain
until they all were broken
but no matter how i tried
the other side was locked so tight
that door, it wouldn't open

i gave it all that i got and started to knock
shouted for someone to open that lock
i just gotta get through the door
and the more that i knocked, the hotter i got
the hotter i got, the harder i'd knock
i just gotta break through the door

gotta knock a little harder
gotta knock a little harder
gotta knock a little harder
break through the door

So, more stress than I could ever be excited about.  I found out that my checksheet wasn't online.  So then I tried to get it put back on and the wrong one was put on.  So that was frustrating.  And now I tried to turn in the correct paper and the lady was out to lunch.  Now, I don't blame her because I like lunch as well, but just putting it all together does not help things.  Then, let me explain the importance of this checksheet.  You have to have it to pre-register online.  And since I can pre-register online before I can register in person, I would like to pre-register online.  It would make my life that much easier.  So now I'm trying to get everything done.

However, in other news, I played on photoshop last night and this is what I created.
So I think it's really pretty.  Well, that's all.  Just thought I should vent a little. 

well....

Worth the Telling, Worth the Hearing

April 03 2006
I guess the hardest part of telling my parents of times I've drank alcohol is the knowledge that I've hurt them.  Regardless of whether my dad seemed distraught or perfectly fine (I really couldn't tell over the phone), having to explain what I've done and the $125 fee involved with it never comes softly.  At least I was able to tell my dad.  My mother's brother has had issues with alcoholism in his life so that every "violation", every perceived crossing of the line with respect to alcohol, follows many days back to issues of the past.  I've only seen my uncle once that I remember in my lifetime for a week (I think) my sophomore year.  You know, and my time with alcohol really wasn't worth it; I probably would've drank alcohol again after the fact if I could've stood the taste.  I don't know.  I just hurts me every time I hurt my parents.  I don't intend: I just fail...

Spring Break...

April 03 2006

So today in history Hitler tried to invade the Soviet Union.


You would think that past precedent would advise him NOT TO DO THAT.


I mean, really.  It never works.  Especially when everyone insists on invading in the winter.  Permafrost, hello.


Idiots.  If it didn't work for Napoleon, why should it work for Hitler?


Remember this, Brian.  Don't invade Russia.  Gently coerce them with nuclear threats.  But don't invade them.


So yeah.  Hope everyone had a fantastic spring break!!


{P.S. I now know how to dance the fox-trot.  It's lame.  Somebody just wanted to dance the waltz pattern during a 4-4 song.}


Still no word from George Washington University.  Who wants to get an apartment in Murfreesboro with me??  *Silence*  ....Don't everybody volunteer at once.


Haha, I'm in a great mood.  We almost died last night, it's negative daylight savings time, and I have a ton of assignments, but today is a good day.  :-)

This song sounds so much like me but when i fall i need to put my trust in god instead of fighting this on my own i know that its to  hard to let god intefere though.....


So easily I fall, So easily you reach your hand out,
Quickly will I drowned, Know the pulls of all my reason,
So easily will I feel, So easily will your peace surpass me,
Quickly will I trust, And anything I think is worthy,
How many times you make the ways come down,
So why be afraid now ?

CHORUS :
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall,
What am I suppose to do ?
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall,
What am I suppose to do ?
(What am I suppose to do?)

How precious are your thoughts ?
(How precious are your thoughts?)
And how many of them, you think about me,
Faithful are your ways,
I always feel your grace abound me,
Quickly will I call,
Quickly will you answer my cry,
Carefully will you bring, everything I need in my life,
How many of times you make the ways come down,
So why be afraid now ?

CHORUS :
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall,
What am I suppose to do ?
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall,
What am I suppose to do ?
(What am I suppose to do?)

This narrow road Im walking,
This world tries to draw,
Whoever will help me fight it,
But you wont face it all,

CHORUS :
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall,
What am I suppose to do ?
I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall,
What am I suppose to do ?
(What am I suppose to do?)

My friend Justin just told me the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.....Okay, this is David  Boreanaz, you might know him from Angel, Buffy, or Bones. Well, Justin is very tall, so is Mr. Boreanaz. They both have spiky hair and they kinda have the same bone structure in their faces...but anyway...he said that some girl stopped him in the hallway, looked up at him and said "Angel?You look like Angel!" He was just like "okay..." he then turned and ran into a classroom.When he told me this, I turned in my chair, practically having a seizure laughing. Well, I just had to write this simply because he told it to me, you may not find this funny, but I do...so there!

April 03 2006


well yeah.... see this guy... that is david boreanaz.. he played Angel on Buffy the Vampire Slayer... and other things like his main show Angel but other than that hes pretty hot.


Justin told me and rachel today about a girl that stopped him in the hall last year and was like "ANGEL??" and grabbed his arm and stuff and was like just flabberghasted. I was cracking up. it was great. And he also told us she did that like almost everyday which is hilarious.

yes i am implying that Justin looks like David B. and you know what i think of him... from my earlier comment.


Other than than. I have nothing more to write about. other than rachel found the same picture as me.

This is my short sermon for Fine Arts...

April 03 2006

        Igniting your Passion










            As we look upon the moral decay that runs rampant in our society, …as we see the confusion and compromise that afflicts so many Christians, …As we witness God's progressive judgment on the world and the church, …What do we do? …How do we respond?










            In Romans 10:2-3, Paul says, " I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal. They don't understand God's way of making people right with himself. Instead, they are clinging to their own way of getting right with God…"






            God has a unique call and purpose for all of our lives. He wants us to break out of this mediocrity, …in order to step into a life of purpose and vision, …fulfilling the task he has set before us.






The time has come for us to recognize that we are in a spiritual battle with the forces of darkness, who want nothing other than to steal, kill, and destroy us. We need to rise up, …reject the discouraging words of Satan, …and acquire the enthusiasm to go out into the world and make a difference in someone else's life.






God can help ignite our passion, but it's up to us to keep the flame lit.






We can ignite our passion by not being "Normal".










            Normal Christians are those who go through the routine of church. But, in order to ignite our passion we have to become radical in walk.






When we become radical, there will be a difference in the way we worship, the way we speak, the way we act, the way we think, and the way we pray.






Being passionate means being Persistent in our faith, having a positive Attitude, Seeking God through our prayer and the reading of his word, practicing Servant hood, showing Integrity, being Obedient to the word of God, and not being Normal Christians.






When we're Persistent in our faith…God will help us become passionate.






When we have a positive Attitude toward our Christian family and for the lost… we're being an encouragement to them, by showing them how much we care.






When we Seek the face of Almighty God…how many of us know that we become so close to God that we can accomplish anything that we set our minds to?






When we Serve the Lord with enthusiasm …God will give us the heart of a servant. When he gives us a heart of a servant, we will be able to accomplish many great things for the kingdom of Heaven.






When we truly become individuals of Integrity… we can expect to do all of the wonderful things God has called us to do.






           When we're Obedient the word of God…God pours out so many blessings on us. Not only that, but without obedience to the word of God, we couldn't be persistent, have a positive attitude for those around us, seek the face of God, be a servant, or be someone of integrity.






And when we quit being Normal Christians… we can accomplish much more for the kingdom of Heaven than before.






The Apostle Paul begs us in Ephesians 4:1-6,  "Lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowances for each other's faults because of your love. Always keep yourself united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourself together with peace. We are all one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have been called to the same glorious future. There is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and there is only one God and Father, who is over us all and in us all and living through us all."






When we ignite our passion, we will be able to live a life worthy of our calling.






Another way we can ignite our passion is if we stop being so negative all the time.






If all we do is complain, complain, complain…we are just going to keep going nowhere that much faster…because those with negative attitudes won't go anywhere in their walk with Christ.






Negativity robs us from our blessings. If we keep letting the things of this world hinder us, we won't be able to take the next step in our faith.






We need to ignite our passion so that we can always be a positive example for someone to look up to.






Ladies and Gentlemen: we need to follow the example Paul has shown us and ignite our passion for God.






We need to ignite our passion so that when the time comes, we won't be hesitant and procrastinate on what God has called us to do.






James 4:14 Says, "How do you know what will happen tomorrow? For your life is like the morning fog--it's here a little while, then it's gone."






           We only have one life to live and it's time to ignite our passion, for we may only have one chance to let our light shine for some individuals.






A missionary named John Greddie ignited his passion by spending twenty-four years evangelizing in a foreign country. His tome stone reads, "When he landed in 1848 there were no Christian, when he left in 1872 there were no heathen."





            The time has come for us to set aside the mundane, to set aside the normal, to become zealous, and ignite our passion for God.

The lightning is beautiful tonight.


Romans 1:20  For since the
creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and
divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has
been made, so that men are without excuse.


Peace comes from knowing and trusting in God....

John
14:27  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to
you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not
be afraid.


Colossians 3:15  Let the peace of Christ rule in your
hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be
thankful.

16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you
teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms,
hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God...

Lyrics

April 03 2006
Alright I'm doing it again...

Casting crowns
 "Set Me Free"


It hasn't always been this way

I remember brighter days

Before the dark ones came

Stole my mind

Wrapped my soul in chains


Now I live among the dead

Fighting voices in my head

Hoping someone hears me crying in the night

And carries me away


Set me free of the chains holding me

Is anybody out there hearing me?

Set me free


Morning breaks another day

Finds me crying in the rain

All alone with my demons I am

Who is this man that comes my way?

The dark ones shriek

They scream His name

Is this the One they say will set the captives free?

Jesus, rescue me


As the God man passes by

He looks straight through my eyes

And darkness cannot hide


Do you want to be free?

Lift your chains

I hold the key

All power on Heav'n and Earth belong to me


You are free

You are free

You are free

I close my eyes
To see you again
My hand in yours
A spanning smile
Precious times
Your lingering kiss
The way I floated
One fatal wind
Could blow me away
Difficultly leaving
Going home without you
A long night of dreams
I close my eyes

Okay, so it's Ado.


Shakesphere really isn't my thing.


. . . and I know way to many married couples where the wife was nineteen when she met her husband. This has left me in a slightly paniced state.


Not really-- but it does make me wonder.


I'm also somewhat weirded out by the fact that two different people who wanted to date me in the past are planning on getting married to their current girlfriends.


Odd weekend. I think my grandmother is shacking up with us for awhile. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that.

Hola everyone, I hope everyone had an excellent spring break. Mine was amazing. Our mission trip couldnt have gone any better.  Also I got to know some of my youth group that i didnt know real well.  Two in particular that I got to spend a lot of time with because they were in my group.  Olivia and Abi. Two amazing servants of Christ, beautiful both on the inside and out.  It was so awesome to get to know them and watch them grow in Christ over the week. I love both of them so much.  Amazing-the only word to describe them.


Im gonna try to start updating almost everyday.

So today, the GT chamber choir had a "gig" at the Emory Presbyterian Church, a small but quaint little building, with a seemingly sincere woman pastor.  (I say woman because I don't meet very many women pastors.)  The overall service was quite formal, but it was nice for a change of pace.  We even got to wear these pinkish robes, which actually happened to be tight in the chest.  What was weird is that no one ever clapped, a fact which for church music strikes me as odd (but it's cool), but I had a lot of fun singing in a lent service.  Plus, we ate Mexican food afterwards, so I can't ask for much more than that.  Since then, I've slept a lot, but it's cool.


Lately, I've been getting into Meshuggah, a Swedish "mathcore" band.  Whereas the guitars on the whole aren't written to be very complex, the drums substitute for that complexity with a jawdropping oddity of their own.  The drummer has ultra-syncopated the music, by not only playing syncopated music, but also playing a normal 4/4 beat at the same time.  Weird but fun stuff.

Well....yeah....

I had a really rough morning with my allergies today. My eyes this morning were so puffy that it was hard to open them. I'm basically doped up on allergy medicine. Stupid allergies. Stupid pollen.


Work at the Peanut Gallery starts this week. I'm excited.


School starts back tomorrow. Joy. I have a paper due Friday that I haven't even started on.


I've officially become obessed with running and working out. We have a room in my house that has a treadmill and a workout bench. I'll run/speed walk a mile and then workout with weights for awhile and so on. I'm in love with it. I do it everyday....I started out doing two miles and now four....if I can find the time I would love to go six a day.


A lot going on in my life that I'm not ready to share yet but I will eventually....when the timing is right.

Keepin' It Real

April 02 2006

Could someone please tell me when being nice became a bad thing?
We're not supposed to be afraid of who we are--we're supposed to let our own light shine--we're supposed to let it shine so big that it pierces the darkness. I think it's time to wake up and smell the coffee.


So in case you hadn't noticed I have new pictures.




And I've found my new line of work "hookerism".
I'm jussssssst kidding.



I smile to confuse you.



Blondes will soon be taking over the world. "Beware"


A great man (actually the first president of the Unitned States) once said, "Courage is not the absence of fear. It is going forward with the face of fear."


"The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity."
--
George Bernard Shaw


"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive."


"Laughter is good for thinking because when people laugh, it is easier for them to admit new ideas to their minds."


--Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama

WOW. that's about all i can say. Mexico was amazing. over 4300 people made a decision to accept Christ. it's pretty funny how we go into something like that and give God a set of limitations. i think He finds it funny knowing that we do that, and knowing how He's gonna reveal Himself to us in such huge ways. ya know, i thought maybe i'd get to Mexico and i'd really feel God calling me there. but i didn't. so i can't wait to see where He is gonna call me. Africa anyone? man. i never completely appreciated America until i left it. i was so happy just to be able to flush the toilet and take a more-than-3-minute shower. man. also, i didn't eat any meat or milk while i was down there, so when i got home, mom made me fried chicken, mashed 'taters, peas, rolls, cranberry sauce (i love that stuff!) and i drank like, 3 glasses of milk. ha. but besides all that, i really felt like i grew on that trip. God really showed me what He is made of, and what it means to really have faith. I find it so cool that i've gotten to the point to where if i don't do my quiet time, it really affects my whole day. i'm really trying to learn how to completely depend on Him right now. so yeah. i'm really stupid and fickle sometimes. i really liked a guy for like, 3 days, and then stopped almost immediately. ha. gosh though. this trip really made me miss bruce. a lot. but that's ok. OH! I ALMOST FORGOT! like the second day in mexico, i got the chance to lead 2 mexican guys to Christ! WOW!!!!!!! it was amazing, and it was ALL GOD because i had no idea what to say to a couple of Mexican men. but it was amazing. wow. they both accepted Christ. ha! so cool. well i besta go. i'll see all you homies on the flip-flop. byekataters! ---Cari

thats us as we had just finished rowing in the finals


we didnt medal this time. but i'm pretty sure it had something to do with the boat braking in the middle or our first heat and me dropping the seat that the guy in front of me sits on. so we had a broken boat and oly had like 7 our of the 8 people rowing. and we still made finals. but we had to someone elses boat in the finals and it didnt work out so well for us, oh well.


i have a busy week coming up this week. i'll make it though.


things could be better right now, but i'll make it through.

probably one of the best spring breaks i have ever had.


san antonio was fantastic. from dancing on the riverwalk to mariachi music to getting to feed a dolphin and meeting some very interesting people, i don't think there was a single boring moment.it was the most fun i've had in a long time.


then you can't forget about playing tennis in the dark or swinging on the playground right before i left, and then there was the ddr and strange jamaican music in starbucks.


and now i really don't want to go back to school. but i guess all good things must come to an end.

this is for no one

i never walked on water,
never saw a reason to be goin out that far.
i never found a star then made a wish,
but now the sky is list'nin to my heart.



they can break me, make me, if they want they can chase me.
love me, hate me, i don't care any more.



till you, i was nothin but lonely nights,
there was nothin but sad goodbye's for me to fall through.
come true, my dreams are awakening
somebody is makin me the only one in the room.
what no body could do, no body till you.



and the more you talk, the less i fear.
no matter what you say, we're still on the same hemisphere.
and there's comfort in just knowing that wherever i go
a part of me is stayin here. with you.



so take me, shake me, if you want you can chase me.
love me for me, and stay away from the door.



till you, i was nothin but lonely nights,
there was nothin but sad goodbye's for me to fall through.
come true, my dreams are awakening
somebody is makin me the only one in the room.
what no body could do, no body till you.



what kinda world would it be if you ever went away?
oh. and i, i can't go back to what i had,
cause it will never be the same.



till you, i was nothin but lonely nights,
there was nothin but sad goodbye's for me to fall through.
come true, my dreams are awakening
somebody is makin me the only one in the room.
what no body could do, no body
till you, i was nothin but lonely nights,
there was nothin but sad goodbye's for me to fall through.
come true, i'm awakening, you're shakin me
no body knew what to do, no body till-
no body till you, there were lonely nights.
till you, there were sad goodbye's.
come true, i'm awakening, you're shakin me.
no body knew what to do, no body till-



no body till you.


-Lindsay Lohan "nobody till you"
