how you like this bad boy
Dont you talk to strangers?
February 27 2006
Aye, Im nick. I enjoy good music and good people. I talk about shit a lot. I wear pants that are too tight for my ghetto ass, Ive recently learned a thing called "forgiveness" and I love my Super Nin-fucking-tendo. I like to smoke, drink, and in general "chill." I enjoy sex, too. I have a Zippo with a polar bear on it and I wear Vans slip-ons. I have a child named NewRev Studios. She is my princess and I spoil her rotten. I enjoy being alone and I like to eat. Sometimes I combine the two with a TV dinner. I dont like to take showers and quite often I just dont. I do brush my teeth though. Im going to be filthy fucking rich some day.
If you think Im cool, lets be friends. I like friends. And if youre hot. Let be really good friends.
Thanks, your friend,
Nicholas Danger <3

Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again
February 27 2006
Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!
That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?
To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.
But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects keep silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away
This is poem was written by one of the greatest poets of China----Xu Zhimo,whom i love most,and was translated into english.it is really beautiful in Chinese,even be included in our text book for Middle school students.
CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 27 2006
So I just got back from San Francisco, California. And the trip was Amazing!!!!!!I was there for 5 days. I went with my singing group and we performed at Grace Cathedral, and I met the famous priest there. It was awesome! And the rest of the time I just hung out in Cali. I went to Carmel where I saw the famous Clint Eastwood and his house, and beautiful beaches. I <3ed the famous Pebble Beach. I saw Robin Williams home in San Fran.It was massive. I went to Alcetraz ( the jail) on the little island and it was spooky, but very cool. I went to Chinatown. I shopped a looooot, I ate so much good food. I went to the origianal Ghiradeli Chocolate store...yumm.I encourage everyone to go to San Francisco because it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and I will be updating pics later of it... hope peps missed me :) ....and I sooo want to live there when I get older , but it is the highest price place to live in United States...the houses ( mostly apartments and lofts) are sooo expensive, even if its a crappy place. I thought the boat houses were pretty cool. Never seen one before. It was a real house on the water...sooo cool. And I wish I could wake up every morning and see the ocean and beautiful bridges. I <3 the movie Sweet November, that movie reminds me so much of San Fran. Like the setting. I loved the whole tripand I will never forget it, and I cant wait to go back this summer to Cali, even though it will be going to LA, but who cares all of Cali is different, but beatimus :) This is a really long message so yeh I hope everyone has an awesome day tom.
<3 always

how his words can make me cry just like that.
he's so wonderful.
having him tell me "karla, i really like you, a lot"
just made my night.
i cried tears of joy/happiness.
and then
"sleep good darling. goodnight beautiful"
thats all i need.
a guy who will say those sweet things to me.
and, i think i found him.
i am ashamed...
February 27 2006
well we had bible study tonight. and it was a rude awakening for me at least. this weekend was one weekend for my church. and people said some stuff that really hit me hard about the way we treat other people. this weekend i dont really think i treated some people very well and i am extremely ashamed of myself for that. ya know i dont consider myself the type of person someone would want to look up to, but tonight someone said that people do look up to me, i dont know y, but then they also said that i really let people down in the way i acted that just really tore me up inside. i was completely broken. but im not going to dwell on something that is done and in the past. im going to look foward and learn from this mistake. and most importantly follow GOD. believe it or not HE really showed me some things this weekend, HE really moved in my life and i am so thankful for that.
Live by faith, through the spirit. and dont forget Hebrew 12:2.
a wise friend said we should all read that verse. well ill talk to yall later IN CHRIST- forrest
a peace inside...

"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 torubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27

"but the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me. Come now; let us leave." John 14:31

The End
possible fine arts vocal solo song?
February 27 2006
VERSE 1
The room grew still as she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain, some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper, there's no place here for her kind.
Still on she came, through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last she knelt before His feet. And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard, As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of Alabaster.
CHORUS
And I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil
from Mary's Alabaster Box
Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
and I dry them with my hair.
You weren't there the night He found me.
You did not feel what I felt when He wrapped His love all around me.
And you don't know the cost of the oil in my Alabaster Box.
VERSE 2
I can't forget the way life used to be.
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
I spent my days pouring my life without measure.
Into a little treasure box I thought I found.
Until the day when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul with the wonder of His touch.
So now I'm giving back to Him all the praise He's worthy of .
I've been forgiven and that's why I love Him so much.
CHORUS
And I've come to pour my praise on Him like oil
from Mary's Alabaster Box
Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair, my hair.
You weren't there the night Jesus found me.
You did not feel what I felt
When He wrapped His love all around me.
And you don't know the cost of the oil
Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise.
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my Alabaster Box.

Cavity
February 27 2006
Addison had a dentist appointment this morning. They gave her the "sleepy juice" in her words, and then she came out crying with gauze in her mouth. I don't know how she managed to get a cavity seeing as how I am so very conscious of dental hygeine and Adam's mom works for a dentist. Now she is on a liquid diet and she is asleep on the couch. I really do feel bad that she is uncomfortable and numb and all of that bad dentist stuff, but it was nice to actually get to take care if her today. it just makes me realize how much she has grown up and how much she actually does by herself. I know she is only 4 and she is very dependent on us to take care of her, but today I got to baby her a little. I liked that:)
The weekend of one
February 27 2006
God has been teaching me so many things through His word lately. I want to encourage everyone to get into His word, b/c I know that many of us don't get into it at all on our own free time. But ask God to give you a thirst for His word instead. Not because you have to read it to be a good christian, but because you have a DESIRE to get to know your savior better.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8)

"I remember I went to sleep late that night feeling uneasy
And had a very sad dream
The phone started to ring in the morning, breaking the silence
And the premonition became a reality
Leaving an unfading scar on my heart
You became a star by yourself
*Sayonara --- You have gone to the place where we can never meet again
I can't accept the coldness of the eternal parting
I wish I could have heard from you
That I had certainly been loved by you
Only once, even if it had been a lie
The sorrow I had thought to be endless came to an end
The season has changed, I feel bitterly cold
I will never forget that first day of summer
The sky kept on weeping instead of me this year
I feel as if I were living in the continuation of the dream
And I can't even cry now
Sayonara --- Even my last words don't reach you
I'm made to realize the coldness of the parting
I wish I could have heard from you
That you never regretted the days we had spent together
Only once, even if it had been a lie
Why did you do it this way
Leaving memories only to the very end?
(*) repeat
Please tell me this is only the story of the continuing dream
And that I'm not yet awake"

I will go where you go, I will stay with you.
Just don't leave me alone, you're my dream come true.
Why don't you love me now, tell me what I've done.
I love you, always will. You are like the sun,
always there in my heart, burning bright and clear.
Life goes on filled with pain, still I want you near.
An empty kiss, a search for words. I need somethng more.
Watching you, missing you. I am always yours.

Norma Jean - Disconnecktie: The Faithful Vampire Lyrics
It's taken me 50,000 separate wrecks to get here,
And I've learned absolutely nothing.
As I'm standing here alone, upright and motionless,
I'm drowning in her sea.
The rising and sinking of every consciousness I've ever known.
Now detached and disconnected.
The endless cycle of idea and action,
Endless invention, endless experiment, endless hope and endless disappointment.
And I thought all I needed was just one breath to stay afloat.
For me it was like... like the breath, the last breath, the last breath that I never wanted.
Any of this.
I'm moving forward.
I never thought that this would capsize,
But this isn't a boat, it's a coffin!
And now I'm moving forward.
Into the sea... into the great sea.
So I begin with the end in mind.
The cycles of heaven, 20 centuries gone by, come home.
I've fallen three miles now... and I still can't shake this dragon,
But the end is coming like a flood.
It is going to be a year for growing and the greatest amount of forgetting.
My sea is dying, but death is a doorway.
And at the very root of me I know this.
It's the greatest reminder.
What a broad world to roam in, what a sea to swim in, so I begin with the end in mind.
At ALL Cost

Why are we are so complaisant? Why are we so apathetic to
what God is doing among us! Why is it that when God is obviously telling us to
do something we just turn our back on the living God of this universe or we do what he says half hearted? How can
we be apathetic to a God that is so beautifully and amazingly pursuing each of
us to the point of death!!! How can we listen to THE WORDS OF OUR GOD and them
not change us and excite us? Something is NOT right about this! GRRRRRRRRR We
have been given the best gift ever and the best promise ever yet we are so
apathetic about what those are!!!! When one of our brothers or sisters in
Christ are hurting we make excuses not to pray and bare their burdens. When we
see hurt in the world we say it is bad but rarely do anything about it. We go
through days and weeks at a time not spending time with our amazing
savior!!!!!! HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? WHERE ARE WE GOING WRONG? WHEN WE EXPERIENCE
GOD WE SHOULD CHANGE! BUT HOW CAN WE BE SO BLINDED TO WHAT THE STORY OF JESUS
AND THE WORDS OF GOD GIVE US? God has been convicting me specifically about
this. I cant understand how this has become so common place in our churches
today… We say God is so amazing and good and his story is so awesome but what
do we do while hearing and even saying this? We sound and act like we are
hearing our 5th period math teach lecture about long division. How
have we made the MOST AMAZING BOOK EVER IN ALL OF MANKIND SO BORING!!!!?????
Our God’s very own words! I am so guilty of all of this I am saying but I tell
you this: I am sure trying to not be so apathetic to God and his words anymore. I am
striving to get back to seeing the power and the wonderful story I have been
missing. Because when i begin to grasp how beutiful and AMAZING the story i find myself in is that gives me passion and a fire beyond myself to share and strive even harder toward God! Anyways Im gonna stop typing. This is not a post to get comments. So give a comment if you want but I would rather you spend the time you would commenting
listening to what God is saying to you through this. Cuz I believe these words are
from my heart and something that God has been teaching and showing me…

Heb. 10:19-25 <-- this is the set of verses we went over in small groups this weekend.
konichiwa, kenshin
February 27 2006
my weekend was [mostly] boring. most of my time i spent sitting around wishing that someone happened to be in town to do something with. especially with one weekend and model un going on, my friend list was rather depleted.
friday night i ate with roy's family [my mom's fiance]. it was a lot of fun but the fact that within a year, Mr. Davenport might very well die of cancer made it hard to truly enjoy my time.
and then i heard about Danyelle's death. that wasn't exactly the most encouraging thing i had heard in a while. i went to her visitation yesterday, and i must say that seeing a closed casket was much harder to bear than any of the open caskets i've crossed. i really want to go to her funeral today, but unfortunately i can't.
tomorrow, i get to go the ranstad building in smyrna for my job interview. funfunfuuuun...*looks around hastily for a sharp pen* i'm hoping to work for nissan this summer, in their summer temp program. basically, you work full-time during the summer and come out with a good five grand. hopefully, i won't have to work during the school year, and simply focus on school and not school, without that whole job/money thing getting in the way.
so yeah, life is pretty interesting right now.
on a slightly related note, so are dreams. i hardly ever have dreams. it's literally been months since i've had a dream. and even when i do have dreams, it almost never involves people i actually know. now, for two nights in a row, i've had dreams involving a particular person, and i'm left to wonder WHAT THE HECK?!?! it's hard to explain how incredibly unusual it is. and the identity of the person in question makes it even more bizarre… and how this person in intricately involved in the massive chaos known as my life.
any answer is better than the confusion.
ugh...

i don't know....
im super worried anbout a bunch of things going on right now and im really tired... i give blood tomorrow and i go to court tomorrow and i have to most likely pay court costs which i really dont have the money for... so if i can borrow 40 from my g-ma and maybe 40 from sam or somebody.... well ill be okay cause i got 70..

I'm supa bored....
February 27 2006
well, i'm like totally bored...i'm in my boring technology (E.A.S.T.) class... and i decided to write a blog...
well, school's been such a drag lately. A lot of my friends are mad at eachother, and everything seems to be going wrong. I guess it's just another big "rut" that I'm stuck in...
(cuz i've been housing all this doubt and insecurity...and I've been locked inside that house, while you hold the key, and i've been dying to get out...that might be the death of me, and even though there's no way of knowing where to go, i guess i'm going cuz, I-I gotta get out of here..cuz i'm stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake..and I-I gotta get out of here..and i'm begging you...i'm begging you...i'm begging you to BE MY ESCAPE!!!!-be my escape by Relient K)
You see, one of my greatest friends was getting irritated of my other guy friends because he kept following her around...and yeah. so, she decided to hang out with a different group of friends for a little while, just to get some space...and then, my guy friend was really offended cuz yea...anyways, so, i played "PEACEMAKER" and was the "messenger" between them...(bad move)...and just to cut this story short, now we're all mad at eachother, all because of gossip and misunderstanding, and miscommunication and just plain out-bad choices!!! i knoe...it sucks.
And, one of my other really good friends, who was just recently saved, thank you Jesus, just got a boyfriend! AHHH. and i don't think he's that good for her, but it's not my choice, it's her's. but anyways, i haven't got a chance to talk to her about the whole "true love waits" situation. I really need to talk to her about that. I don't want to see her get hurt the way I did---giving your heart to someone who isn't "the one" and getting your heart broken really bad. for those of you who've experienced that, you knoe what i'm talking about. yea...it hurts.
but, you knoe what? You'll always have God by ur side...just trust Him!!! :-)
luv ya'll always,

Good times.
Every day for the past two weeks I've set my alarm for 5:30-5:45 with every intention of trying to build up stamina and go for a run, etc. I have yet to actually get out of bed and do anything beyond turning said alarm off. My willpower is something to marvel at. Lol.

Model UN
February 27 2006
So this past weekend was our first and only model un conference for this year. We went to UT knoxville. and road down there on the bus with Siegel. It was probably the best school related trip that i have ever been on and i've been on quite a few.
as far as the conference goes we were all new (with the exception of Chante' , who in reality doesn't really count) and had no idea of what to expect or what would be expected of us. Had we done it right we would have had to have done ALOT of work. But we didn't do it right. So we did zero work, and had a blast.
i think mr. huffman was a bit disapointed though.
however, it was still a very productive weekend.
For 2 years i have known Jenny Grissom, but have never really known her. Well i got to and now i must say that she is pretty amazing.
we built a family over the period of this trip.
i will defenitly be going on it again next year.

Friends and Funerals...
February 27 2006
"Farewell old friends
And we won't forget
The times we've spent."
Chris's funeral was today, so here I am at my parents' house on the Coast. I spent a good part of the night driving so I could get here today in time to say goodbye to someone who never should have left so soon. The weather is warming up and there are signs of spring everywhere. The trees are starting to get their leaves back and the blue, cloudless sky is blowing a slight, cool breeze from the north. As I drove to Gautier for the funeral today I crossed the high rise bridge and saw the river where I spent most of my weekends in high school laughing, getting sunburned and trying to catch a few flounder. It's the same river that took away my friend Johnny in tenth grade. The water was murky from the hard rain yesterday and had white caps from the wind blowing across it. As I got into Gautier I passed the street where I would have turned to go to Kyle's house if he hadn't been killed right before Christmas of our freshman year of college. The church was on the left and the parking lot was full, forcing me to park in a small patch of grass behind the building.
The line of mourners wrapped through the foyer and stretched beyond the doors of the church. Standing there waiting to go in, I saw faces and heard voices that I hadn't seen or heard for almost five years. A few people said hello and asked how I was but for the most part people talked amongst those they came with. The sanctuary of Chris's church was filled to capacity and a few individuals were resigned to stand around the edges of the room. I was lucky enough to snag a folding chair in the back left corner.
The service was good; as good as a funeral for a 23-year-old can be. Some people talked, some people sang, some people prayed. But I didn't hear much of it. There was no casket because Chris had so badly maimed himself that the state required an autopsy before they would issue a death certificate. What remained of Chris was sitting on a metal table in Jackson. I heard this morning that he bought a gun that would ensure he didn't just hurt himself. For a few days, Chris knew that he would sit in his bed and fire a gun into his brain. There was just a picture of Chris and some flowers at the front of the church. His picture was like I remember Chris: smiling, cheerful and happy. It didn't seem possible to be sitting at his funeral; a funeral Chris planned on having.
There were wonderful things said about Chris by friends of his that had come from all over the country. Everyone in the room was there for Chris, but somehow Chris had not felt like anyone had been there for him just a few days earlier.
I don't like funerals, I don't like to cry; but for some reason, I couldn't keep the tears from my eyes. I've been trying to figure out why this has affected me the way it has, and I can't figure it out. Maybe it's all that has happened here over the last six months. Maybe it's just a realization that life is so much shorter than we realize. Maybe it's knowing that I am not living a life worthy of good funeral. Or maybe I just realize that this could have been me.
Sophomore year I wanted to die. I wanted nothing more to do with struggle and loss and hurt. It could have been me someone found in a bed holding a just-used gun. The only reason I didn't is because I had people who cared enough about me to never give up on someone that they knew had more to give than simple sadness.
If you are one of those people, thank you. It is appreciated by more people than you realize, but especially by me. With the hurricane and now with the loss of Chris, I realize that life is so important and that the people in my life are even more important than I already knew. We ask for blessings from God and we pray for things like material possessions or money or someone to date, but God has already blessed us with so much in the friends He allows us to have.
I'm going to be at home for a little while because there are people here I have not seen in a while and people here that I haven't been able to enjoy time with. I thank God for all of you. You are more precious to me than the air I breathe. I love you all and would not be who I am without each and every one of you.
I pray for you diligently.

*sry for the lyric content but the words about cover it*
MY GIVE A DAMN’S BUSTED by Jo Dee Messina
WELL YOU FILLED UP MY HEAD WITH SO MANY LIES
YOU'VE TWISTED MY HEART ‘TIL SOMETHING SNAPPED INSIDE
I'D LIKE TO GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY
BUT, MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED
YOU CAN CRAWL BACK HOME, SAY YOU WERE WRONG
STAND OUT IN THE YARD AND CRY ALL NIGHT LONG
GO AHEAD AND WATER THE LAWN
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED
CHORUS:
I REALLY WANNA CARE
I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING
LET ME DIG A LITTLE DEPPER
NO, SORRY, NOTHING
YOU CAN SAY YOU'VE GOT ISSUES
YOU CAN SAY YOU'RE A VICTIM
IT'S ALL YOUR PARENTS' FAULT, I MEAN AFTER ALL YOU DIDN'T PICK EM
MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE HAS GOT TIME TO LISTEN
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED
WELL YOUR THERAPIST SAYS IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE
A PRODUCT OF THE PROZAC AND YOUR CODEPENDENT WAYS
SO WHO'S YOUR ENABLER THESE DAYS
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED
CHORUS:
I REALLY WANNA CARE
I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING
LET ME DIG A LITTLE DEPPER
NO, STILL NOTHING
IT'S A DESPERATE SITUATION
NO TELLIN WHAT YOU'LL DO
IF I DON'T FORGIVE YOU, YOU SAY YOUR LIFE IS THROUGH
COME ON GIVE ME SOMETHING I CAN USE
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED
CHORUS:
WELL, I REALLY WANNA CARE
I WANNA FEEL SOMETHING
LET ME DIG A LITTLE DEEPER
NO, MAN, SORRY
JUST NOTHING, NO
YOU'VE REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME
MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED

Today is Monday, the weekend always fllows so fast .But i really enjoy last weekend ----a whole weekend. After graduating from University ,i seldem have a whole weekend, becasue i always have to work on Saturday.(i often have to work over time at night ). I went to play badminton with my friend, i felt so good after doing some sports,becasue i have not take any exercise for monthes.the reason might be that i am busy, or might be i am lazy. Although both of us are not good at badminton,but we got a chance to play with others from whom i learnt some skills.
on Sunday , i went to meet some classmates .we all felt very happy to be together.So much words to talk that the time seemed so fast. XiaoMei was very eager to learn speaking english, but also have no confidence to speak out. so i asked her to go to the English corner with me next time. She is one of good friends of mine.and she is always so kind to others,a very nice girl ,i value our friendship very much. May God help her.
Richard Cory by Edwin Arlington Robinson
February 26 2006
Whenever Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich - yes, richer than a king -
And admirably schooled in every grace;
In fine we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Some idiot vandalized Siegel by spray painting all over the school.
I know I don't go there anymore, but that's really upsetting.
A friend of mine told me they got the courtyard, the colums, the stadium, and a couple of signs.
I hope his/her butt gets busted.
i wish i couldnt care...
February 26 2006
well i had an awesome weekend this weekend. but then i got home and i had to do something that i really didnt want to. some of u know wat it is. but ne way.. it really sucked having to do it. i hate making people feel bad. i dont know, if i didnt hav feelings then i wouldnt feel bad. and it sucks cause i do care.
its just the fact that i hear that wat i feel and think matters and i really dont think that it does. maybe im just stupid i dont know. but until someone can prove me wrong then that is wat im going to think. it just sucks.

question for the ages
February 26 2006
Should one go into a relationship with high expectations or no expectations?
HA!!!! I SAW HIM!!!!
February 26 2006
OMG! I finally got to see my baby and he is soooooo beautiful!!! My cousin started making excuses how they didnt have to time to go today but I was like um no... we are going. He has grown up so fast. Sammy is almost taller than me, I couldnt believe it. HE IS ONLY 5 MONTHS!!! He is going to be a big boy!!! They say he will be 17 hands high!!!!! WOW!!!! Well, he remembered me and now that I know were he is I am going to be around him a lot. He wanted to suck on my fingers like he did when he was just 3 days old and I would bottle feed him. My baby boy is all grown up on me. He wanted to jump up and hug me. When he was little I let him rest his legs on my shoulders. We gotta teach him that he can't do that anymore cuz he is getting huge. He would knock me over. lol OMG!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!!
ONE WEEKEND!

one weekend 2006
February 26 2006
alright, to start off this blog-this weekend was incredible. all of the freshman girls, i felt, bonded. my prayer has been for unity, and this weekend was definately one step closer in that direction.
on friday night, our quiet time was awesome. we wrote down something that we wanted to get out of the weekend, and something that was holding us back from Christ, then tied the index card to a balloon and let it go outside... my prayer was for my worship and my everything to be focused on Him. no distractions. i sometimes get caught up in the world and how my worship looks, but this weekend (and from now on..) i wanted it to be pure and totally Him.
so before each time that we went into a rally, worship, or a bible study-i asked God to take away everything of this world and let it be a true experience, just me and Him. and boy did He work!! its so amazing how if we do ask, we recieve!--Luke 11:10... i felt like when we went into worship-it was just me and God-no one else. it was an overwhelming feeling!! i felt like God was right next to me, so i poured out my heart to Him.
when we we sing song of the redeemed and repeat.. "we are yours" .. it gives me chills! im HIS! He is my daddy, and im His daughter.
Psalm 11:3B "He made us, and we are His. We are his people, the sheep of His pasture."
so, my prayer for all of yall is to dig deep in the word. ive also found this weekend that i can not KNOW Christ, if i dont know the word. i am to saturate myself in the word, so when tough situations come-i can fight the devil with scripture. i hope that all of yall that went to one weekend, got some good stuff out of it. i hope that Christ spoke in big ways!! i know that He did for me. have an amazing week!
"cause i know my Gods saved the day,
and i know His word never fails.
and i know my Gods made a way for me
its gunna be alright."

There's always something going on in my house....
Wow I havent updated in a long long time. Everything's been pretty weird lately. I got in a car accident a few days ago. My car's pretty banged up and so is my head but I'm just glad that I'm not reallly hurt.
Valentine's day was really fun. Me and Adam ate at Buca Di Beppo and it was amazingly good. =)
Last week Adam suprised me with flowers that were very pretty:
I got my new digital camera. I found a picture in a magazine with it:
Right now Im just not as happy as she looks when she's using it but I'll make sure I look like that eventually =P
All County was Thursday night and Friday. It wasnt half bad. We played William Tell Overature and I had a bazillion solos. It was fun to actually get to have people hear me. But I was still really nervous for the concert.
Its weird to think about how much everyone has changed since last year. Ive changed sooo much but I think it's for the better. But there are some people [okay so I'm thinking of one in particular] that I used to think I would always be friends with and theyve been treating me like crap lately. Why? I don't get it.
On the other hand, Ive still got some pretty great friends. And Cho Cho, my puppy, is still really freaking cute.

What I Deserve
February 26 2006
It's easy to fill in that blank with things we think we deserve. When Kevin Pounds was talking about it this morning at church, he was mentioning mostly material things. And I could see where he's coming from on that. I know I tend to think I deserve a husband, two kids, a pet, a nice house in the suburbs, and a nice car. But I also tend to think I deserve certain emotions and such from other people. Like love. Respect. Those sorts of things. I feel that other people should fill me up with these feelings. Yet really, why should they? Do I deserve that? Heck no; I really don't.
Though we deserve nothing, Christ came to free us from the bondages of Satan and sin and to grant us mercy and grace... things we do not deserve! He, perfect, sinless, God in human flesh, did not deserve to suffer on earth and to die for sinners. But He did. He gave us His rights. We don't even have any rights. We don't have life apart from Him. So why do we have such a hard time giving it all up? Why do we hold on so dearly for something that is not even ours? Because we are control freaks. If only we would realize that we really are not in control, and if we were what a mess life would be!
Have you ever talked to someone trying to control their own life? It's a life of pain and hardship, without any joy or growth. I don't want to live like that. I know that as a Christian I am called to suffer at times, but always for a purpose that will magnify God's glory. I can find joy in any situation, as hard as that may be.
I have to be willing to go wherever He takes me. My comfort zone is similar to Kevin's. I would love just to stay here, or if I was really blessed in the money department move to Franklin, have my perfect little family in our happy little house in a nice neighborhood and my kids could go to a good school and I'd probably keep going to Belle Aire and drive a nice Toyota and life would just be... normal.
God may call me to that life, but He may not. Sometimes I feel as if maybe He does want me to have a taste of that life, but maybe it won't stay that way. I really don't know. All I know is that I have to be open. I need to be willing to go to Turkey, New Jersey, anywhere... And that's hard. It's scary. But Michael Kelly told AO a couple of weeks ago that we have to take those risks. God will sometimes tell us to go beyond what is safe and comfortable.
I felt God speak to me Wednesday night at At All Cost about listening to Him and depending on Him when it came to where He leads me in the future. So I want to stay true to that. God has given me talents, stories, testimonies, and a heart for certain places, and I just can't help but wonder how it's all going to play out in my life. I'm just going to have to trust God and go along for the ride.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have see his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. -John 1:14
Missing school, Meeting Spring, and Mending ipod
February 26 2006
Wow... I got sick again. Second long one this Winter. Five Days of Fever. Still have a lingering cough and cold.
While I was gone, not much happened. Life has been slow with much homework. I have missed phusebox, but I just kept forgetting.
I'm gonna miss winter... Spring seems to be coming in. Still chilly, but grass is gettin greener and the sun is gettin yellower. I guess this means I'll be playin more tennis. Thats cool...
MY IPOD IS GETTING FIXED! Praise the Lord. It has taken a while, but I finally made a phone call to Mr. Pete at my church and he is replacing my cracked headphone jack. The funny thing is, we opened the ipod and found the problem about three months ago, but I just got it to him to fix. Forgetting hurts. I miss my Music. Only about a week or two and I will be good.
No more long waits, I'll be back soon...

what a heart throb
.::listen to your heart::.
February 26 2006
That’s how everything begins. A glance, a touch that sparks emotion. It sends the signal to your brain that is electric. And then your brain sends a signal to your heart that makes you feel warm and fuzzy. It starts out so small, but it can develop into so much more…
The sustained eye contact that sends messages back and forth. It makes those dusty butterflies in your stomach shake of their wings and flutter. The lump in your throat rises. The red in your cheeks shows off is rosy hue. Your legs weaken, you don’t know what to do with your hands, and suddenly you care about how you look.
The accidental touch that sends chills up your spine. It makes you stop and indulge. Makes you turn and think, “Did…did that…did that really happen—to me? Wow.†Savor every memory. You look over at them and everything else disappears. The hairs on the back of your neck stand upright.
The look, the feel that everything’s alright.
It grows on you. The comfort you feel when you’re around them. Knowing you’ll always have someone to hold you tight, to make you feel complete. Someone you can talk to for hours or sit with in silence forever. The dependence begins.
Mutual habits begin to form, things are understood. You feel secure in anything—with them. When you are without the other, you aren’t the only one that notices. You delight yourself in the knowledge that when they are gone, you’ll get to see them soon. You talk until the early morning about anything and everything. You begin to learn love.
And then they are gone.
The problem is that the feeling that you felt and came so naturally isn’t.
And you know that whenever that one person talks to you, those same butterflies dust off their wings once again and make you weak. Even though you know you shouldn’t, you give them trust as if nothing had happened, and you hope that tomorrow is better than today.
My butterflies were dusted off this weekend.

The struggle to see my Sammy...
February 26 2006
Today I finally get to see my baby, Sammy. I havent seen him in like 4 months. My cousins were keeping him at their house back in September and October but then he got to big and they took him to a farm somewhere. They are the kind of people that tell you over and over that they are going to do something but then never do and always have an excuse. I have been calling and going to their house for months trying to get them to just (atleast) tell me how to get to the farm. I am so mad at them. I finally got them on the phone yesterday and told them that I WANTED TO SEE MY HORSE!!!!!! So, freakin' finally they agreed to get off their lazy butts and take me to him. We will see if they actually do today. If they dont I am going to be livid! I am so sick of their crap. I better get to see him today! grrr....
