"True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance." –Henry David Thoreau

I have learned a lot about friendship during the last few weeks. I have learned that even the people in your life that you think are the most reliable can turn their back on you in an instant without any logical reason. I have learned that no matter how hard you try to resolve things, some things still may not be resolved. I have learned that sometimes, you have to go through life with mystery, not really knowing what is going on. I have learned that the people that have to convince you that you can trust them are often the ones that you cannot trust in life. I have learned that some friends are opportunists, taking what they can get for now and then moving on when something better comes. I have learned that friends sometimes wear masks, and you are unable to see their true identity until conflict arises. I guess trust is sometimes overratted.

Why?

to all the homies in da hood... what it is?... i think i had a double dose of my happy pills today.

When do y'all have a break for lunch? I don't have my schedule with me at the moment so I don't remember... but I will get back to y'all on it...

Also, on MW I have a pretty darn long break between two classes (like two hours). I'm not sure if I should go back to work, eat lunch there in the break room, work, and then go to class or seize the moment as a time of rest, or maybe go to the Rec Center and do something like cycle for a while, eat, and then go to class. Of course, some of this depends on what y'all are going to be up to at the time. Let me know por favor.

It is a great day.  I mean I can not remember a day since last August that I've been in such a good mood. 

I bought my books today, and they are everything I thought that they could be.  My Experimental US History book looks great.  I'm probably going to start on that today.  I was a little disappointed by bookstore though, I mean, I get out to the car and realize....I didn't get my complimentary condom. 

okay okay, so since everyone has been like DEMANDING i get one. i finally got a myspace.

www.myspace.com/Irishgirl420

merry christmas guys.

U= all my friends...u know who u are...

my lunch buddies...karen abby ash day and all u peeps...

Um Bre who is sitting next to me...

Ty who has been my friend since 8th grade...

Colby reed for being my sexy demolition lover...

and um yeah thats about it..o o and my art buddies <3

OOOOO and Panic! at the disco...for being beautiful without looking the least bit hot.....

Man, everyone is just a facade.  Telling you one thing and doing another.  I hate most everyone.  I hate lies.  I guess feelings don't mean a damn thing in this day and age.  I'm not sure I can trust anyone anymore.  All I see and hear are lies.  Fuck dating, fuck females.  I am tired of their shit.  Even if I do date again, I want a bad girl.  One that will sneak out to see me.  That doesn't worry about what her parents say.  I can't stand it when they say that can't go do anything but yet they spend all their time with their friends.  God, I hate immature high school kids.  I so want to get out and meet some mature people that actually have responsiblities, instead of childish worries.  So close and so soon.

I wonder what the scientific term for the little crusty stuff that forms in your eyes is?? just a thought.

Back to college. Its cool man...but i'll actually be back in Murfreesboro friday-monday. My english teacher is hot...and that is cool. The rest of my classes should be damn awesome as well...which makes it even better.

Wedding Crashers. yes. I own. It owns. Also...Super Troopers has been added to the Collection. Brilliant!

Leave me words.

well it goes like this the fourth the fifth

the minor fall and the major lift

the baffeled king composing Hallelujah...

well remember when i moved in you

and the holy dove was moving too

and every breath we drew was hallelujah...

     This is most definetly my new favorite song.  Jeff Buckly.. i love his use of Hallelujah, b/c it isn't in the way of Worship.  He uses it to describe strong emotion, which ever one it may be.. its amazing.

Ha... I cracked Diablo II!!!!!!!!!!! No, I didn't download a crack.... I did it myself... I got the registry files that were needed, used Clone CD to create the CD image and Damion to create the virtual drive... and I now have Diablo II running with no install and no CD!!!! I'm new to cracking things myself so don't make fun of me if this is a common thing to do.

yes.. i got a PhuseBox. maybe i'll write on this one more :D most likely.

ben, i kicked your butt tonight at work-you still hurt my knee. love you too. but...

bri-zheet* (:

I've loved getting to hang out with Trinity's youth group.  So many new people!  I poured so much of my life into that ministry when i was in high school.  I was really worried what would happen to some of the ministries that i led.  But God is faithful!  New leaders rose and took control of the ministry :-)  I love seeing christians grow and be willing to serve!

There is a youth internship that will be opening up this summer at Trinity that i am going to apply for.  The youth minister said said he would recommend me, so if the church votes me in then that will be my job this summer.  The position would be working with middle schoolers.  I was going to get a job this summer anyways, but this internship would be a dream come true.  I'm so excited this oppertunity!  Again...God is faithful!

"God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."

1 Corinthians 1:9

So, Taevan fired a guy yesterday morning, and another guy quit during his lunch break today. No two weeks notice, nothing. So, if you know someone who isn't a complete smart butt, a pothead, and doesn't mind working on cars that needs a job, let me know.  They asked if I knew anyone that needed one, but everyone I know either has a job or wouldn't be suitable for it.

I also witnessed a high speed chase today. It was exciting.

I got my psychology book/study guide from Amonett today.  Afterwards, Tim and I went to Blue Raider so I could get Intro to EMC, and so he could get a Calculus book. Then I road with him to Phillip's so he could get a lab workbook. Fun stuff. I still have to get my English book, Theatre Appreciation stuff, and whatever I need for History.

I leave for Florida Friday morning. Prayers for our safety and health are appreciated. Prayers for Panama City in itself are going to be needed, seeing as though Laura and I will be reunited after three months.

man im so pumped!!!

the retreat is in a week and a half and it gonna be the best thing ever

im so excited cause the retreat is gonna be so awesome cause thats how retreats go

cant wait

life is good. eternal life is better.

much love

I need someone I can tell all my secrets to.

My Princess....
It's Okay to CRY,
    I see how hard you try to handle your heart, and I know you want to live a life without heartaches or pain. I'm asking you to take a step closer to your Father in heaven by crying out to Me when you hurt. Let Me heal you. Remember My chosen King, David? He cried out to Me in his fears disappointments, and sin, and I answered. You are also My chosen one, and you are my daughter...IT'S OKAY TO CRY. I don't expect you to pretend that pain is not real. It is truth and tears that will give you the freedom that I want you to know. Now let go of that part of your heart that only I can heal. Let your heavenly Daddy hold you while you cry.
Love,
Your King who wipes away your tears.

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For you are who you are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

Love Through Christ!
~Rachel~

new to phusebox... my myspace is actualy quite more interesting, even though its fucking slow, and has only 12 pictures, with only like 3 of me.
so i decided to try this out

yep

I was sitting here after eating with my grandparents and my favorite bar-b-que restaruant in town on officially my last day of work for Gaskins (hopefully) and began recapping of the year of 2005. What a year it was, and what a year it did for me. I'm always trying to look back at things and try to find the meaning or the lesson in my experiences because I do believe everything happens for a reason and most of the time we don't see the reason right when it happened. It always seems a whole lot easier if I step back a few months, give it to God and then look back on it later. The lessons always astound me, always.

So I was looking back on 2005 and the funny thing is that its always the odd years that seem to be worse, so I had to compare this year with the best year of my life: 2004. 2005 was pretty good, but it did have some heavy competition, I mean the Joey Moore you guys know today was discovered in 2004. So the question was did 2005 redefine who Joey is? Did he dare everyday into making something out of what most might see as nothing? Did he push himself and test himself during those 365 days? Well, after sitting at work today with nothing to do except work the clock for extra time, I decided this is what 2005 will mean to me when I look back on it for the rest of my life:

2005 was a year that will never be forgotten and will always hold a special place in my heart. It made me closer to someone at Ole Miss taht will probably be standing next to me when I get married, it made me put myself out there again in "dating" way, it made me realize that I was still acceptable to hurt and defeat in the "dating" world, it pushed my travels to knew places, i made it to Mardi Gras, i was able to cross 4 more states off my list along with some life goals along the way, i got to do spring break "my way" and take off to florida for a few days, it showed me rejection, it showed me love, i found heartache and i found peace, it scared me to death and then brought me back to the Lord, it opened doors in my relationship with my mom and my older brother, it brought my family together for a few days, i danced a little more and even shed a little more tears, it brought me closer to some friends and others were pushed away, i defined who "Joey" is, i defined who "the Kid" is, I fell in love and am still falling, i grew up a little more and got a few more gray hairs, i helped my grandparents put together a hurricane ridden house, i shed some tears when others didn't make it, i drank more beer and some wild nights, i almost flunked myself out school, i doubted my life dreams and whether i could do it or not, then pushed myself and accomplished my goals....

i hugged a little tighter on my goodbyes, made my grandfather laugh a little more, it made an old relationship into The Relationship, it took ten years of dreams and made it into reality, i traveled more but rode less coasters, i saw Mickey and Disneyland turn 50 and myself turn 21, i refound the love of my life, i refound who i was when i was ten, i gained back some innocence that i had lost some time ago, and lost some along the way, and for the most part i found the "Joey" that i'm probably going to be for the rest of my life: the beliefs, the love, and the life.

Although most of these things don't mean something to everyone, they mean the world to me. And if you want the short and condensed version that most Americans crave for these days it really can be summed up in one clean, grammatically incorrect statement: 2005 will be remembered as the year of Mardi Gras, The Love of my Life, Katrina, The Injury, The Apartment, and The Night....

Life is interesting indeed. Tonight at church I learned how everything really does matter and that you shouldnt just blow it off and say i'll never see that person again because you might and that kindness goes a long way. 

Hey guys... phusr box was down for so long that i forgot my password IM A DUMMY.... so i got a new site!!! and here it is read it love it and leave me love!
~tRISH

i have 51 "friends" on my phusebox. and i can only count a very very small amount of them that are actually my friends.

makes me feel not good i guess.

yeah, ive been having one of those days where i feel about 1 inch tall.

so... my granny and grandaddy are both in the hospital... my grandaddy has been paralized from the waist down... since... as long as i can remember.... but he had to have most of his legs removed within the last few years... he's had some bed sores... and they've gotten so bad that they go to the bone... and my granny... she has broncitis (sp?) pretty bad... my parents are planning to go visit the in Alabama this weekend... i guess i'm going too. it's just really hard tho... i don't know how many more times i'll be able to see them... it's going to be hard to see them like this. but i know that it would be selfish not to go. i don't think either of them know Christ... if my grandaddy does... well... then he turned his back on God a long time ago... and my granny... i could be wrong... but it all seems outward to me... i mean... she goes to church... but she lives the same at home... and as much as i try to stay numb... and not feel it... it hurts to not know where your loved ones are going when they die.

"Love's taken over me and so I propose the letting myself go.
I am letting myself go.

You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy
You are my joy"

--being lazy.. copying from xanga..

ok.. this post is dedicated to justin..

one part of the wonderful djd..

ok well we started out when i was in 4th grade, in spectrum. he was just like any other kid in my opinion. we went to atl and beta conventions and stuff like that and had great times. then the night of graduation i looked up his number, among other peope, and then later we got aim and xangas and started talking alot more.  then eventually he became one of my bestfriends and vice-versa. then we had some problems.. i dont even remember one but i remember it was one of the worst times of my life. then we got better, and i introduced him to deborah. we went to the BOWLING ALLEY and michael came with us to the mall, applebees, and kohls. then they came over to my house to watch movies & hang out.. no michael lol. those were great times. lately we`ve been having problems tho. long story.. but i`m sure we`ve worked thru it. from what i can gather neither one of us can manage to live without the other in their lives. yes we both have other friends.. but we would need each other.

i meant to do this post a long time ago.. but wanted to wait, and this seemed like as good a time as any other.

lol btw im sick. yep ear infections in both ears, runny nose, headaches, that kinda stuff. doc said i almost had pneumonia -- i think thats how u spell it-- which is funny b/c of what deborah said.. but yeah.

** les and i had a short lay-over in maui so jeff and hodge came and saw us for a bit, they were awesome and seem to be really in their "element", and honestly jeff martin is too much for this island! **


**yeah, and the rumors are true... this milk is $8, given it's at our lovely 711 thats right down the road, but still thats almost 3 times the price of a gallon of gas... last night les and i went there and bought a $10 bowl of cereal for this morning... haha, im gonna go broke buying food in this town...**


**this is our lovely BSU (BCM) here in Hilo... it's really cool, a lot of student come and hang out here all day inbetween all their classes...**

"Love never fails.." 1cor 13:8

well this morning.

I passed out in my kitchen, and as I fell, I broke my dishwasher.

it was really wierd

So I finally finished those blasted essays and submitted them to GWU.  I should be excited, but my stomach has instead turned leaden, and I'm basically just waiting for a letter of denial that I'm sure must come.  (Though if they do, I am STILL applying for semester transfer if relegated to MTSU.  Try to get rid of me so easily, will you?  Ah-haaaa, but look!  I can be annoying until you finally break and let me in!  Take that, O Foul Admissions Office!)

I've asked people to pray for dinky little roles in community theatre, for ailing family members, and I beseech you again to whisper a small appeal to your higher deity of choice that this works out.

So three people in European History got into a fight over a novel titled I, Lucifer.  Katy and I pretty well took out the owner of said book (sorry, Daniel), and as for the two of us.... Well.... Let's just say she has the book now.  *Shifty Eyes*  But this will change tomorrow, oh yes, this will change tomorrow.

"Wait, but that's my book!!"
"Irrelevent!!!!"

today was ok
kinda hyper
kinda not

gym sucks balls

math is too simply now
so is latin

kaylah was too hyper
and she coming over to watch lost w/  me

so that should be fun
i need to clean my room
-look around the room-

well i am off

you're beautiful, that's for sure
you'll never ever fade, you're lovely
but it's not for sure that I won't ever change
&& though my love is rare, though my love is true

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
&& baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

this song explains me in a way
I am afraid a lot of the times
I dont like trying a lot of things because
I overthink the consequences
I've had many people call me a goody
I'm not, I'm just scared
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I dont want to do that anymore
I want to experience things
because it could be the greatest thing in my life
like love, something I am experiencing
it's going wonderfully now..
but later, I'll start trying to make excuses
and I dont want that
especially since I have the most wonderful thing
going for me at this very moment
but with all this love and help from everyone
I actually think,
I wont have to be the "goody"
everyone thinks I am

these seniors in my theatre class
were talking about prom and college
and it hit me that I am growing up
and in about three years, that's going to be me
-sighs-

I've been happy, content, extatic
d, all of the above
I feel very blessed.
with my friends, family, church, boyfriend
I love them all.

ohohoh
I got a 3.8, baby
ahaha, that's right.
in your momma's face

Time to get back in the full swing of things. I had my first two classes today and if I can get done what I need to get done, this should be easy for me.

I struggled a little last semester because towards the end I got lazy but now that I know what I have to do and what I absolutely cannot do (slack off) this semester will be easier.

Looking for apartments as well. Maybe I can find a nice, cheap, one bedroom place somewhere around here. If not..then I don't know.

Closing thoughts...
Basketball game tonight vs. Georgia.
I like bacon.
I love you Lyndi Rose :)

cantrell.out 

so if you are not happy and you are not sad what have you got?

so i'm loving icons again.
sue me?

i'm really happy for all the right reasons.
God is still amazing.
& so are you.

my dream is to be the only ones at the drive in movie,
sitting bare-foot in the bed of your trunk,
hand in hand under a blanket,
and have it start pouring
and you asking me if i wanted to dance.

just crank up the volume
and we can sing like superstars,
and dance like were famous
cause thats just how we roll

I want someone who will day dream
about me in class, then the teacher

will yell at him & tell him he needs
to listen. He'll say hes sorry & then
look at me, Smile and whisper
{{i love you}}

I don't know what to write about today. You know that post about A PURE MIND? Well, it's kinda hard for me to apply that to my own life this week. Mainly because I have been so stressed out to even think about God. Last night at Encounter Ministries, I was finally able to leave it all at the alter. I feel so much better than before. I was stressed out because of a number of things. People have been spreading rumors about me and they have been telling me that a friend of mine talks bad about me ALL OF THE TIME. They say that she says all kinds of bad things about me. This added up to the previous problems I had and it just made me feel that much worse. I feel much better now though, but I have a hard time trying to see why she would say those things about me. But, if those rumors were just lies, I don't see why people would say things like that to me to begin with. The only thing though, is that some of the people who told me those things go to my church. Some of the people who told me go to Oakland. But, I don't care if the rumors are true or not, because I left all of that at the alter. I want to keep a pure mind so I can be a better christian and friend to everyone.

yay!!!!

i'm back! i fought aol and i finally won! or actually my roommate said "why don't you just use internet explorer?" my response was "i can't"

...te he he - i can

so at some point i will respond to the no exit quote - but when i'm back at school or over at my bro's on my laptop and not mom's computer.

interesting notes about my break

*i worked in a law office for no pay unstapling and restapling papers for a week- fun

*i got a digital camera for Christmas - loads of fun - lots of 1/2 retarded pictures

*i got to ride my horse - but i ended up on my "slightly" skittish 4-year old in my father's saddle which was TOO BIG for me - go figure

*i went iceskating!!!!! yay!

*i somehow ended up on a day with out realizing i was on a date til the end of the night... **NEVER AKWARD**

*beth(see above!) and i went with mom to my grandmother's in east tn. it's getting really sad andreally hard. she is convinced that she wants to move to townsend and doesn't understand why she cant

*i almost died beacuse austin's brilliant cousin armor-all'ed his 4-wheeler seat and  he insisted on driving instead of letting me drive

* i can now shift gears on the 4-wheeler without giving passengers whip-lash - te he he

* i'm now looking for a 2nd summer job (i'll be baby-sitting for my cousin 1/2 the time) only problem - i'm gonna have the most retarded work schedule ever and have to find someone who is ok with that

So God's really been knocking my socks off lately. He made something very clear to me this past week at Passion. I was a little scared about it but excited to . I had to talk to my boss about it and I was really scared about that. But he was cool with it and gave it his blessing. That's another conformation for me!
So about my bag from the last entry. It finally arrived at 4:53pm. The man that dropped it off was like well ussually you come down to the van to pick it up but I guess I could bring it to you since you don't have a coat, I almost let that guy have it, but I didn't. So I get it back to my apartment and I realize that it is broken. So I will be sending them a letter, maybe I can get a free flight some where!
In three weeks I am going to Florida! I cannot wait. I bought that Jergens tanning lotion so I won't be pasty white when I get there. They had better have good weather while I am there or I will be very upset. So this time 3 weeks from now I will be on a plan waiting for it to take off so I can go be in the sun!

I haven't updated in awhile. Yesterday was a good day- I found out that I got accepted to go to SEPA. So in March, Charles and I will go to Atlanta. Then in May we will be going to Missouri (God willing!) to see my brother get ordained as a Deacon.

I have a ton of school work that I need to be doing. Tomorrow there is a meeting about the research that took up sooooo much time last semester. I hope we decide not to continue the research- I will survive if we do, but it would be better for me thesis-wise if we choose not to continue this.

Frodo and Kenobi are doing well- last night they stayed in the same room for a few hours, and they both survived. I was trying to sleep at the time, and at one point, for a couple of minutes, they were both laying on the bed with me. :) Total cuteness!

Well, there's no more news. No news is good news, right? Hope everyone else is doing well! :)

Thank you!
    Last week was a bad week I admit that I had a bad attitude for part of it, and I messed up some things, but I am fixing it. Thank you for commenting on my last post. It helped.
    Between now and when school starts I'm going to be swamped!! ick!
    So what's going on with you all? Do you ever feel like you are two people? The person you feel like you are and want to be, and then the person who keeps messing up and having to deal with stuff?

So, I got my Gackt CD in from Japan yesterday. Gackt is this amazing Japanese musician! and he is oh so good looking lol anyway, i'm lovin that CD! w00t!

I smell bad :)

-D

Well hello to our 12 friends!  This page is going to be for Justin and I to post pictures and blogs for you guys out there who want to know what is going on in Hilo, HI.  So far, things are amazing.  We took a tour of the university today and got to meet a lot of the students who come in and out of the BCM.  After that, Christy and Kerri (the other two semester missionaries), Justin and I took a trip around Hilo and got to see some of God's amazingly beautiful creations!  We are so blessed to be here and to be surrounded by God's glory.  Thanks for all of your prayers.  We will be sure to keep you updated on how things are going!  We love you all!! 

Grace and Peace,

Justin and Leslie

 Today, Today...

        So it all started with finding a magazine with an interview with Damian Marley (ok really it all started with seeing a very awesome guy at Expresso Joe's with dreds and he was just amazing)(But finding the magazine was the enlightening part) and as I read  it I realized something amazing . The feeling of being enlightened. I dunno its hard to explain. I feel like my mind has been sleeping because with the way things are theres not much hope and staying content is something some people just wanna do and I realize, I just can't . I can't stay here my whole life, I can't die not knowing whats out there good and bad. Yeah it's something I've always known and yeah I'll miss it but a time comes when you just have to go.

        I'm tired of people being dead to the world.(And all those meaningless writing prompts are comple proof ) I wanna make a change, be it small or big I wanna do it. I know you can't effect everyone but you can effect enough. Maybe I'm just talking out of my ass.. I dunno. I won't know, but wether it be within myself or something around me,

    I think a change is in order...

     

    

              

It's times like these that call for a good old fashioned play on words.

"What's wrong with your shoe?"

"I'm losing my sole..."

somewhere
between the lost and the found
we're all hanging empty, empty and upside down
but I'm hanging on
though the fall may tempt me
and I believe in the dawn
though I tremble in the night
somewhere
amidst these ins and these outs
there's a fine line of purpose I follow even now
through the haze of despair
that confuses and hurts us
I look to see that You're there
and I run toward Your light
somewhere, beyond these reasons and feelings
somewhere, beyond the passion and fatigue
I know that You're there
and that Your Spirit is leading me
somewhere...

54-47 BLACKMAN!!!

(this is for the Warren County Basketball game)

Well things seem to be shaping up pretty good this semester.
I am taking 17 hours so I am nervous about doing that with greek but I think it
will be aright if I stay on top of everything. Anyways all that said it will be
difficult but not impossible. I am really looking forward to everything. Though
I am looking forward to this semester, I feel like there is a empty place in me
when I am here at lipscomb. I feel so out of the loop but at the same time I
feel a longing to really love lipscomb. I can feel myself warming up to
lipscomb but at the same time it is such a struggle to stay here. I don't
know.... I am praying that god will soften my heart to lipscomb even more than
he already has. I just want to love being here because it is hard to show Christ
to people when I feel so out of the loop and constantly having a bitter taste
in my mouth about the whole experience. Yet through everything I know that God
is taking me through this process here at lipscomb to teach me new and exciting
things! I have been coming to a realization that nothing in my life and in what
I do is wasted because of who I am following. So it is up to me to trust. Trust
that God has a plan even in a time when I feel I am insignificant to the people
and places around me. Trust....... I really need to work on that. Anyways if
yall want a few things to pray about.... just pray that god will bless my
efforts this semester. Pray also that God will soften my heart to lipscomb and
that I will begin to feel included. Pray also that God will just be on this
campus and that people can't help but see him moving.


Dear Lord, Thank you so much for everything you have blessed me with here
at Lipscomb. You are so amazing God! You have set me free and there is no
possible way I can repay you or thank you enough for that! I thank you god for
being so merciful toward me when I fail to spend time with you. I will never be
able to understand the fullness of your love for me. You are amazing God! I
offer to you this semester here at lipscomb. I commit my life to you and I commit
that I will strive to show you this semester in every and any way I can. Lord I
pray that you will help me to keep this promise to you. Please Lord help me
stay focused on you and your will for my life. Please give me even more of a
passion to strive after you and to strive after an intimate relationship with
you that is fruitful to others. I know that I am not the perfect candidate for
you to use but I give thanks in advance because I know that you are going to
use me this semester and I know I am not worthy of that yet you offer blessings
to me one after another that I do not deserve because you love me so much. Thank
you! God I pray that you will help me trust in your timing and in your plan for
me this semester. I thank you for setting forth this plan even before I was
born and putting me in this positions to carry out your plan for my life! I
love you God! I can't express that enough to you or to anybody else but you
know my heart and I pray that it's longings will speak more for me than my
actions or words. God please keep me humble this semester. Please help me to
find a belonging in you and to let that be enough for me. Please God show me
more and more that my relationship with you will sustain me even when I feel
left out here at lipscomb. Lord please soften my heart to lipscomb and the
students here. Please lord don’t let me have any pre conceived views about the
people around me. In other words please help me to see them through your eyes
and help me love them for what you see and not what the world sees. God I pray
your blessings over this campus. Please lord have your hand on the faculty’s
and student’s hearts and teach and grow each of them. God I pray and overall blessing
over each college campus in America.
I pray that your presence will be felt on each of those campuses. I pray that
you will raise up leaders and give them courage to lead their campus to your
side. God I thank you for what I can see you doing all around me! Thanks you so
much for what you have already done for me and what you will continue to do. I
pray that you will shape me and mold me into a man of God that will lead people
into seeing you and your heart for us. I pray that you will continue to teach
me new things and continue to refine me no matter what it takes. I want to
serve you lord! God you are so amazing!

i worked today... it was pretty fun i guess... Jon Ray showed us how to make cool straw gun thingies! heck yes! lol.  and Brian gave me a major heart & attitude check... ouch... i needed that....  umm... i guess.... i don't have too much to say right now... i don't have any words... so i'll just let God's word speak.

"For there is not a word in my tongue, but lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether... Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost part of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." -Ps. 139:4,7-10

well today was for sure an adventure. i walked out of work and noticed a squirrell laying on the ground with a broken leg. i went inside to find a box to kinda scoot him in just to get him out of the road. can you believe that someone did a hit and run!!! really, what is the world coming to these days? well amy bonin and amy powers both happened to be in the hall and i recruited them to help me. we went to this vet on church street but they couldn't help it bc they only do cats and dogs but they did tell us that he was still alive. on the way there amy b. started saying that she thought he was dead because he hadn't moved at all. but in  fact he was alive and kickin'. the vet called the black fox animal hospital and they told us to bring him in so that they could see what they could do. we left woody(that's the squirrell's name) there to be cared for. so all around it was a satisfactory search to save a squirrell's life. but i thought that if we were girl. scouts still....we would so get a badge for this.

a true friend knows how completely retarted you are, but chooses to be seen with you ne way. ! lol how true!!

<3 always,

lindsey

To an Enemy

 

I would like to apologize

Ahead of time

That this might seem

A little harsh

 

I have tried my best

And I guess

It wasn’t enough

For me to like you

 

I smile and try to go along

With you being a glory hog

But it just

Didn’t work for me

 

While you are talking

I was mocking

You inside my head

Hoping you would shut-up

 

You know I dislike you

Among a select few

I know you

Can’t stand me

 

I wish to call it truce

But what’s the use

For in life

We all need an enemy

 

I would like to apologize

In this present time

For this was

A little harsh..

I got pictures now! yay!well have a great day!

pat

soooo i have one of these now...yaaaaay me

So Amy Bonin, Sarah Branscom, and I had a great adventure today after work. I'll let them get into all the juicy details of our exciting time if they want to, but we totally saved a squirrel that we named Woody. He had a broken leg and we took him to a vet and they're going to take care of him. I think we deserve merit badges...

i need meds or something...

i guess you could say alot has happened...

I wish things didn't change and everything would stay the same...but then i guess we would never get anywhere in life..thats sad to me....

hey world.

just wanted everyone on the information superhighway to know that brett younker moved to new york city yesterday.  he is sooooo cool.  can't believe that he is finally here.  i mean, he is no john mayer or gavin degraw, but he is soooo cool.

g2g my peeps.  holla.

m

so i felt like writing something but i dont really have much to say...  i worked today...you would really be surprised how many highland baptist churches there are in kentucky!  lol  anyway...its really smoky in here...my dad built a fire...hmm..im allergic to smoke.  24 starts on sunday!  ginger got spaghetti on my sock...i guess it was kinda funny.  um...i guess thats about it.   if you havent read erin's blog, some random guy asked her out yesterday hehe!! that greatly amuses me!!  have a great day!!!

still bad at remarks.... this needs to change

Me and some friends went hiking today.  Lots of fun ;-) 

Yeah so after i waded across the water, allison was supposed to throw me my shoes.  however, it "got caught on her finger" and she threw it straight up in the air and plop...right into the water.  Yeah...i had to hike all the way back with one soaked shoe. 

That's ok though...she fell in and got more wet than me!  muhaha

Feel free to check out more hiking pics on my pictures :-)

well umm thought i would do a wuiock update umm so yea things been umm i duno they jstu been lol later

Hey ya'll!

         How is everyone?! Well this week has been super stressful but hopefully it'll get better! I am really excited about phuse box it seems alot different than xanga and myspace... so yea def. excited! Talk to ya'll later!

P.S. I REALLY miss summer :(

My French IV class is crazy.

Like, extra-crazy.

Like gang-up-on-Kelly-and-get-her-nominated-for-homecoming-queen-extra-crazy.

But strangely enough, they're really sweet, too.  You kids are lucky you have that going for you.  ;-)  :-P  I still maintain that it's Molly's in the bag, and nothing you can say will dissuade me from this fact.

Anyway.  We taught aerials in swing today -- well, an aerial.  The Cable Car (a.k.a. "Side-Side-Centre-Up-Whoops-Ceiling").  It went pretty well.  Mrs. Kennedy has returned from the great beyond, which is definitely excellent because now we can plan bake sale stuff for fundraising for our way-awesome dance in the spring.  I felt so lost without her.  It made me so unimaginably happy that the kids were just so excited to learn a move I love: the Swivel.  And it's not even a flashy stunt, or anything!  It's just pretty dang cute.  Swing Club will probably be the biggest thing I'm going to miss about high school.

I'm hungry.  GWU essays will be turned in by 11:00 tonight or I'm going to slit my wrists and resign myself to a life of burger-flipping.  Provided the aforementioned suicide attempt doesn't work, anyway.  That first sentence is apropo of absolutely nothing and has no bearing on the paragraph it begins.

I'm twisted.  Word to thy mother.

interesting day....you know why....cuz i said so....lol...

Breathe is an awesome song it's by Anna Nalick.....i love her she is a great singer......great CD too.....

well im going to go i'l talk to you guys later......

God Bless!

My Princess....
Let Go Of Guilt,
     All have sinned and fallen short of My glory, so why won't you forgive yourself when you fall? Don't you know that I will pick you up when you call out to Me and repent? There is no wrng that can keep Me, your King, from redeeming you back to your royal life again. Read My Word, My love; many of My chosen ones made mistakes, just as I gave each of them a new start, so will I do the same for you. now, let go of guilt, and trust Me to work out what went wrong. Just watch Me make you into the person I called you to be. I am the God of second chances, and My mercy endures forever!
Love,
Your King who removes your Guilt

Have I said yet that I LOVE MY JOB...

I actually look forward to coming to work. I wake up at 6am now... EWW and i look forward to that... I KNOW I AM WEIRD

Gregg even asked me today if i was on drugs or if I was just happier now... I am happier. I feel like for the first time the gifts match the job.  I swear if i didn't know better I'd think i was in love... ;)  Too bad my job isn't a cute boy. 

today officer harrison talked to me... 'nuff said.

this is how i've been feeling about some things lately:

My first show -ever- is going to be at 310 Chestnut Street (Nashville) on Saturday, January 28th from 7 to 10pm. It's called "__nym." and the theme is language. I'm very excited about this. However, our clever little postcards only list the artists' last names. So, I am listed as "__ Lick." Not fun, but oh well. Hope to see some of you there.

I'm your daddy

So i'm goin to DBS formal with Meredith! Last night, after a much needed bible study, I walked out in the church parking lot and found my car covered in streamers, shaving cream, car paint (which was half smeared b/c it rained), baloons, and saran wrap. On the back window it said Formal? Haha she got pretty good. The funny thing is that I found out they were keeping a secret from me and I had a feeling that that was it but I didn't say anything! But yeah I am excited about that b/c i've never been to a formal before...and I get to wear a tux! So yeah that is gonna be tight. Hope yall have a great week! Do not forget who you are in Christ....but in case you do, I strongly encourage you to read the list below!!!!! I got them all from a booklet that clint nadeau gave me called "Who I am in Christ." I only put the ones on here that really stood out to me...and there is still alot of them and a ton more where that came from!!!!

so i'm trying to get my tuition assistance the govt. owes me.  I have to have an AARTS transcript to apply, it's like a college transcript but of all my military training. To get it i have to select my college from a list on their website to request it be sent to them so that i can request a copy of it from my college.  if it's not on the list, i have to send a form to my school requesting that they fill out a form requesting that their name be put on the list so that i can select their name from that list to request a copy be sent to them so that i can request a copy from the school so that i can send it to the education office requesting my tuition assistance. 
Does this make any sense to anyone??????!!!!!!!!!!
cause it sure doesn't to me.  i'm tired of jumping through hoops.


i heard mexico is nice this time of year...

"I should tell you I'm disaster
I forget how to begin it
Let's just make this part go faster
I have yet -- To be in it
I should tell you
I should tell you
I should tell you
I should tell you
I should tell I blew the candle out
just to get back in
I'd forgotten how to smile
until your candle burned my skin
I should tell you
I should tell you
I should tell you

Well here we go
Now we --
Oh no
I know -- this something is
here goes--
Here goes
Guess so
It's starting
-Who knows-
Who knows
Who knows where
Who goes there
Who knows
Here goes
Trusting desire - starting to learn
Walking through fire without a burn
Clinging - A shoulder a leap begins
Stinging and older , asleep on pins
So here we go
Now we--
Oh no
I know
Oh no
Who knows where - who goes there
Here goes - Here goes
Here goes - Here goes
Here goes - Here goes"
