algebra is going to eat me. but otherwise i think i'm gonna be ok.

Christmas is pretty cool

but cold weather is not. =(

I am finally finished for the semester! And I survived!
Here's what I wish I could do to my geology book:

well, garrett signed on my screen name on phusebox. he must have thought that he was under his name, but so that we clear this up, garrett haynes is the one that likes boys.  he told me today to try to clear that up for him. so its all good. there u go garrett.  try not to flirt to much though. 

so we took these pictures for wills website and press kit-n-such the otherday and for the first time in a long time it actually feels like we are doing something. it doesnt seem so teidious anymore. kinda strange how that works

hmmmm.... just dont ask.... i LOVE addie baker!

399 days till pure bliss...

Unless of course I was there

then I’d dig my way home

Hey guys! Sorry it has been so long! How is everybody doing? So I have a funny story to share...I was running late for a class about a week or so ago, and I was jetting for class. People watched as I darted past them eventually ending up in class. When I got to class I realized my pants were halfway down. Those poor students I ran past got mooned by the hottest guy ever! LOL! I wish one of those guys would have had a camera to capture the hilarious site. Michael the dork at your service! Anyways Christmas break is 2 exams away for me! AHH Christmas break means...

Chick Fil A

Nice pose (LOL)

Christmas with my family


Road trip to see my grandfather

The legend! Nuff said!

AND FINALLY in 19 days...

God is so graciously giving 15000 plus college students the chance to experience his glorification.

Passion 06! Will you guys lift up this conference in your prayers at some point during the break? Yes, God is going to be glorified, but the prayer of our hearts should be that he captivates students who are searching. The time for eternal worship is approaching quickly, and God wishes to work through us to captivate all nations! Exciting stuff! I hope you guys have an awesome Christmas break! Oh and I almost forgot! (LOL!)

Two beautiful girls who will definitely be needing our prayers the next couple of months! Jennifer (being tested STILL! AHH), and Amber (she's leaving for Thailand Fri. Dec 23-Feb. 19)

God bless you guys!

What does your handwriting say about YOU?

You fill every waking moment with activity.
You are a social person who likes to talk and meet others.
You are diplomatic, objective, and live in the present.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You are self-confident and like to bring attention to yourself.

Makes me sound like a histrionic, lol....

So I was flipping back through past LiveJournal entries during Governor's School [Cue nostalgia] and found this quote that I consider to be quite thought-provoking in an only semi-angsty way.  So here it goes:

The entire sum of existence is based off of being needed by just one person.

Consider.

It's rather poignant.  Just one person.  One.
Needed.  Not "wanted," which involves the whims and caprices of human desires, but needed.  Food is needed, unless you're a model.  Oxygen is needed, unless you're dead.  Need implies a physical requirement for existence.  To be needed by someone is the greatest gift a person can receive.  Needed.  Look for someone who needs you, not for someone who wants you.  That is the only way to a truly satisfying inter-personal relationship.  Who do you need?  Who do you want?  Are you able to determine the difference?

Consider.

My roommate just left, and I won't see her for 6 weeks!  Can you believe that?!  I'm soooo sad! This J-terms stuff stinks... I won't see a lot of people for 6 weeks, and i'm not sure i like it!

i guess this is the only thing I have to remember her by.. :o)

do you think there are ufo's

do you think that life will ever end?

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN 12 DAYS

click me to waste time

Something I read from the book "Stop Dating the Church" by Joshua Harris.

When choosing a college to go to...have u considered where you will go to church? Where you go to church is even more important then where u will go to school. While choosing a college, take great consideration about the local churches. A college may present opportunities to challenge you in your walk, but only a church can grow u in your walk.

~Garrett

Well, things r good and bad right now...and I'm hating the bad! Ever since I found out that Lauren might be moving up here I haven't been able to cocentrate in school, and my grades r startin' to show that! I have been doing sooo good. I've had really good grades better then ever before and now all of a sudden I'm making F's! My parents said I bring home anything below a C I can't drive anymore till I bring it up! If they find out its cause of Lauren they aren't going to let me hang out w/ her and they might even stop me from going to her wedding! It really sucks! I have to pass my mid-term! I'm going to try an study extra hard so I can pass! I've had lots of things on my mind here lately so thats probably y I've been failing so many test! But I am lovin' the good things that have happen!Well, I better get goin' and finish off my work!

It is another freezing cold day here in NJ. I think it's like 18 out. Last night had the small group over and we ended up playing blitz which I think I played before in college but I was never really sure. So this week I have a lot to do and I would like to ge the majority of it done today and tomorrow so that Thursday will be a day that I can get out of the office and hang out. So i am getting a new roommate! Susan will start moving her stuff in next week! I am really excited that I won't have to pay rent all on my own and that I get to have such a cool roommate! But I am sad that Cassandra will not be living with me anymore. Another exciting thing is that some of my girls in south jersey are graduating this Sunday and will be back at  home!!! So excited about that!

CRAP!

I have to type this entry again..because I hit some button, and it went away..

This Christmas is going to be hard.

Why do things have to happen?

One minute everything is perfect and then all of the sudden it comes crashing down.

People might think that I'm overreacting but I don't think I am.

I've cried too much over this.

My eyes hurt.

"Freedom in the right hand, Love in the left
We'll walk on, embracing both, and stumbling from time to time."
-Ayu (UNITE!)

Do people not realise that there is a god who LOVES them.
Loves them enough to go through pain for them. If you were a king would you be beaten for your servant. Here's how it is:
God made you
God loves you
God died for you but came back to life so that he had controle of death
He, if you chose to follow and acknowledge him, will let you go to heaven
He loves you
He gives me something to look to when I don't know what to do
Someone who gives me answers to life's hard questions
Someone to make me feel ok.
He gives me peace.
He loves you.

I was reading this book Jessica got me, and I just finished the first
chapter and it's already starting to change my life. It's called Wild
at Heart. It's really good. It makes me want to be something different
from what the world, and even the church expects me to be. I want to be
something more than a simple nice guy. It makes me want to be a knight,
a soldier, a warrior, a man fighting for a cause he believes is right.
A man who is courageous, valiant, unafraid of anything that the world
throws at him. I want to be a man that will stand his ground even when
it seems that all hope is lost. I also want to be a good man. This book
made me want to go out in to the woods alone and go camping for a few
days.

So I'd like to update ya'll on my little story of how I woke up this morning! I was sleeping nicely in my own little bed...just counting my z's....and all of a sudden I hear Chelsea's cell phone go off! (I bet you're thinkin'...ok...wow....nothing new! I'm not done!) So I hear Chelsea answer her phone....stumble around a little bit and she goes,"What...what are you talking about?!" And I watch her as she stumbles outside...and by that time I can hear people talking outside! And in my mind I thought..."What the flip...people are partying and woke us up!" Then I hear Chelsea, not really screaming but kinda yelling...,"Ya'll get up! Come out here and see this! Hurry up.......the campus soccer field is ON FIRE!!!" And I was like,"WHAT!?!?!" I dash outside to see what is going on, and all I can see is orange color flames and smoke! Now the fire wasn't right at my building yet...but I see the flames from where I'm standing! And then we're like ok! We have to leave the building! So we get out and walk down away from village 2 (my dorm) and it's just this huge line of fire! Course, I'm flippin' out cause, I've never been in this situation before and I haven't heard anything...I'm afraid our buildings were going to be burnt down! And so people are all out there praying and watching these flames grow! And then I talk to Christi and I have to go back to the room for something....and she said she'd go with me real fast! (Don't worry...the fire wasn't spread that way real fast) but we go back and my roomates are packing "important just in case things"! So I pack some stuff I would actually need and we left! And all we did was wait! And about 30 to 45 minutes later.....the flames were going down and finally they got it under control! And it's 4:12 pm here now...and I still hear the helocopter(sp...I know, I'm a bad speller) outside dumbing water on it making sure it's all cooled off! But the crazy thing about this whole thing is when the emerals starting coming towarded the housing and stuff the wind would blow it the other way! People said it was like there was a huge wall and it looked like it was bouncing off of! With a fire like that and no one being hurt and all our buildings still up.....God totally showed up and had His hand protecting us!! And if the wind had of changed at all, it could of got us! But God was there...and He turned this whole thing around!! And even though I been up since then...it's been a pretty cool day! lol! But yea...I thought that would make for an awesome drama story! But anyways...last night we had a thing called "Love Feast" and the Compassion group got together and had a nice dinner...some fun games and songs....and we got to get all dressed up!  It was great! And I had tons of fun! I just can't believe that I'll be leaving soon! I'm excited, nervous, and I don't know what else, all at the same time! I'll be leaving Dec. 23...which is in like 11 days! AHHHH! lol!! Well anyways...I gotta go...talk to ya'll soon! Love ya tons!!! And miss ya'll like crazy!!

ps. See ya'll in 10 weeks and 5 days! :D

So, Went to bed around 4:45 Monday morning...woke up at 6:30. I was up til around 1:45 doing homework, and then I went into some weird half awake half asleep mode where all I did was cough and blow my nose because I was too tired to just get a drink of water and it was too late to take nyquill because it wouldn't wear off before school. And then at onepoint I managed to put a cough drop in my mouth, and then I fell asleep, and then woke up and thought I was choking on it.The suprising part was that I wasn't completely pissed off in the morning. I was actually pretty damn happy. Mostly because I did my homework for once and I didn't have to stress about it.

My digital camera is collecting dust due to my laziness, :(   It will be revived x-mas break.

Christmas break come already!!! I have a lot of work to do in the next few days. But when midterms start Thursday, its smooth sailing...If it was anything like sailing at all. The reminds me. There are a lot of little sayings that are quite stupid. I just hate cute cheesy sayings in general. Although I use them. But we all know I'm a big hypocrite.

The coconut is the largest seed in the world...dude...

BLEH!!! Exciting things this week/weekend. I will have fun...heh

Honestly, this entry is pointless, because quite frankly, nothing has been going on in my life lately. I"ve been swamped with my play. I've been trying to catch up with school. I'm tired, bored and lonely. What else is new.

But, its a month and three days until I am seventeen

A friend of mine keeps telling me that things will never happen for me if I don't take initiative. That I need to pursue what/who I want. Because If I don't do anything, who knows what may or may not have happened.

I think...that I'm going to take her advice.....

But most likely I wont and I'll sit back and not do anything...

So yeah, I'm being all cliche and asking for answers to questions...

-If you could do one thing with me, what would it be?

-If you have to pick a celebrity that I remind you of, who would it be?

-What are three words that describe me?

-What can you see me doing in the future?

-What is your favorite thing about me?

Wooooooot.

should i cut my hair? i have kind of been thinking about it for a few weeks. and i don't know what to do. i kind of want to. but i've been growing it out since like seventh grade. and i'm beginning to grow attached to it. so i don't know... what do you think? please answer?

i love you

Why do we have to make life so complicated? I wish there was more time to enjoy God's amazing creation. But of course i get so caught up in everyday worries and cares that i simply forget.But when i do think about it i am just amazed! On a clear night, look up at the stars...it is beautiful! I think one of the happiest times i've had in the past few months was when i was sitting on the roof of mk's house and we were just talking about life and we had starbucks coffee and the stars and moon were out. It's the simple things in life that really stand out in my memory.

???????

i want my camera back. i took it to denver, and now i can't find it.

maybe i can get my dad to let me borrow his for a while..

i'm in a picture-taking mood...
i take that back...i'm always in a picture-taking mood...

So, I got a job.

But it's no ordinary job.  I am - drumroll please -

An internet researcher for a managment recruiting company.

Meaning I research resumes online to submit to this company's database, which they then send to other companies looking for employees.  I am the youngest person there by 15 years, and one of the few who doesn't speak Japanese.

It's pretty cool, I guess.

Not quite Taco Bell, but, eh, it'll do.

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who might have prayed for me and my travels because the snow in NY worked perfectly around my schedule.  :) 

Thanks for the beautiful snow, God.

My brief trip was fun.  It was my first time to stay in a hotel room by myself and everything.  I'll admit that I felt very grown up.  :)  Everyone at RPI was really nice.  I met some nice professors learned about their research.  I could see myself working with some of them, perhaps. 

As I mentioned before, the snow was perfect.  It fell only on Friday, after I had already safely arrived at the hotel.  It made the campus beautiful.  There was 6 inches!  Then the snow stopped and the roads cleared in time for me to safely get back to the airport and for my plane to take off on Saturday.  I liked RPI, but there are a lot of things that would have to happen for me to go there. 

Anyway, so I have a final tonight that I should be studying for, but I really have lost all motivation in that class.  I just want it to be over.  There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel though!  After tonight and one more take home test, I'm home free!  Whew.  I need a break too.  :)

Yahoo isn't working, so I have to check my mail later. The University of Memphis randomly called me during 6th(?) period today...they left a voicemail but I think they said something about my e-mail, ha, which is why I need to check it...

3 more days of classes then we do midterms(!) then we get out early! My grandma said she's going to take me to eat Japanese food w/ her because I'm the only outgoing person that she knows, lol. I believe it. My family is way to conservitive and reserved...that might be why I don't like spending much time with them. Except my grandma, we got eat weird food and watch the symphony. Yay for her!

I'm excited, Amy said we could have the French horn Christmas party at her house. Now we just need to find a date...preferably before Christmas ;-)

I'm finally getting the hang of the 3rd movement in my horn concerto. It was written for natural (valve-less) horn and has all these crazy interval skips, but it's good now. I'm using my Bb side of the horn on most of it so my lips won't like freak out when I play it. I told Mr. Jolley that the TVW should play the band arrangement of the orchestra part and let me solo and he said that'd be fun, haha.

¡13 mas dias para Navidad!

How do you taste?






You taste like a milkshake. Your frozen malts send a delicious
thrill across the tongue. Your sweetness and innocence are bared for
the world to suck up with a straw... and you love it, baby.

Anyways yeah when I woke up this morning my myspace account got deleted and I put alot of time and effort into it.I know I sound like Im making a big deal out of nothing but when I put alot of time into something I dont do it just to be doing.I mean  I really worked hard on my page.Man everything is just not working out for me this month or this year.I just wanna wake up one morning and just know everything is gonna be okay and its just like "Life's Not Fair" anymore.I wish life would stop getting hard and just be easy  for me.I was always picked on in high school and my life keeps fall down.I just need someone to pick me up when I fall cause when I try to pick myself up I keep falling.I guess I just need a hug right now and someone to tell me its gonna get better and be okay.I wanna be happy I feel like I failed like someone is punishing me seriously.I mean its been one year this month since my ex-fiance Jake left me.Im like is something seriously wrong with me and Christmas time its a rough time for me cause he left me December 26th of 2004 and Im just so sad and lonely.Anyways good things in life well thats that my 21st birthday is December 20th meaning next week on Tuesday.Just everyboy pray for me Im going through alot here lately.

until this person gets over whatever is irking him/her than i don't think i am gonna worry about it... unless they want to talk about it and tell me what is wrong... and not be sarcastically bitchy about crap

NOW LET THE PRAISES RING DOWN FROM ON HIGH........ I'm finally done with all of my papers for this semester. But it was a struggle to the bitter end.

I started my paper (Asian Martial Arts and Their Effect on American Masculinity) last night around 10pm and was still not finished at 3am this morning. I had about 8 pages into it and had absolutely nothing left in me. To me, this is huge.... I don't have problems writing papers... it's just not that big of a deal.....but I just couldn't pull this one together.

I went home and woke up at 8:30 this mornin to finish it (I meant to get up at 7:30). I finished it and rushed over to the BDA to try and print it off.

I get to the BDA and the computer that I pick to pull up my paper on was retarded..... remember that I've got to get it in by 10 and it is now 9:45. I finally get another computer to work and print it off.

I get out like a shot, and loose all my pride in a dead sprint across the parking lot to Todd. I get up to my teacher's office at 9:52............

SHE'S NOT EVEN THERE!!!!!!!

So, I slip it under the door. Then go to move my car out of a white spot (with no ticket mind you) to a green spot and come back here to the BDA to write you this post.

And that's how the end came to the papers from hell in Fall 2005.

-Jeff

Today is my biggest, hardest, and most important exam!!! It is also my last!!! If I ace this test, along with the three papers I'm turning in... I will have an A in this class... Pray for me please. I usually get really stressed when I am taking a test and I don't do well even though the material should be easy for me. God's in control, and He cares about something as small as a test. I pray He'll help me not get stressed. I need this grade!! Pray please! I'll let you guys know how I did.

We had our first run through for our church Christmas program. Let me just say that my two year olds are the cutest little cherubs that there have ever been. The run through was mass confusion as I predict the acctuall program to be, but the kids are cute and that is all that matters. So today i had staff meeting at 6:30 am. I need a nap already, I'm not sure how I will make it thtough the day! Hope everyone has a gread day!

Imagine Saturday night. 10 Dec 2005.... about 8:00 o'clock and.................... I'm in the middle of OpryLand Hotel, lookin at these GORGEOUS ChRiStMaS Lights.... OmG, they were so pretty. I seriously acted like i was about 3, because you just have to understand that i love Christmas more than just about any. The whole sha-bang too. I love the lights, the tree, the food, the songs, EVERYTHING. and yes, people's attitudes SHOULD be better during Christmas because we celebrate in remembrance not "I want _________________ for Christmas." Yeah, so, I decided that i'm going to live in OpryLand...Not the rooms, just live in the garden area or something...just pose as an elf when someone walks by...lol...I wish everyone loved Christmas as i do....*emily*

...and my guard goes back up.

today is december 12th.. which means 5 months til my sweet sixteen!!!!!!

(yes... i'm just a little bit excited hah)

These lyrics are so true! How awesome is it
that we do have a God who is so faithful and loving!
And even when we can't see the purpose in what is
going on in ourlives, we always know that He does
have a purpose in everything. I am so thankful that
we serve a God of love!! May we all draw closer
to Him!

Exodus (Faithful) - Bethany Dillon
Come, come fallen ones
Dance in the healing stream
He has faithfully kept you
Brought you out of captivity

Rejoice, rejoice with all your hearts
Sing Him a new song
That’s heard high on the windswept mountains
It will resound

Lead, Lord, with unfailing love
Those that You have ransomed
And we will sing out as we go on
Our God is faithful
Our God is faithful

Reflect, reflect on all your days
You weren’t so free then
Once you were all called slaves
But now, blessed children

Move, move your feet
Dance before the Lord
On to the Promised Land
On to your reward, sing

Lead, Lord, with unfailing love
Those that You have ransomed
And we will sing out as we go on
Our God is faithful
Our God is faithful

Our enemies are at the bottom of the sea, our enemies
Our enemies are at the bottom of the sea, our enemies

Lead, Lord, with unfailing love
Those that You have ransomed
And we will sing out as we go on
Our God is faithful
Lead, Lord, with unfailing love
Those that You have ransomed
And we will sing out as we go on
Our God is faithful
Our God is faithful
Our God is faithful (our God is faithful)
Our God is faithful

yay!! i finally finished writing my paper for my final in mass media!!! so now we have disney world fireworks to celebrate!!! yay!!  i still wish i was at disney world!!!...only 6 more months....

These lyrics are amazing! 

"Dreamer" --Bethany Dillon
Love woke me up this morning

With a memory

Love came and whispered a story

That awakened a dream


Imagine a beautiful castle

And a beautiful king

He left the comfort of his throne

To fight for victory


I am a dreamer

Take me higher

Open the sky up

Start a fire

I believe

Even if it's just a dream


Love woke me up this morning

And I ran to see

The king in the winners' circle

On the horse he won for me


Only a king would do anything

To protect the kingdom

Well, its me again.... Mr. Procrastinator himself. That's right, I've done it again. It is now 1am and I just got kicked out of the Library and have moved to my new location in the BAS. I have a 10 pg paper due tomorrow morning (well, I guess its this morning) at 10am (yeah, 9 hrs away). I've got 2 pages written now, but that was just my opening. What can I say, I've got alot of hot air. Well, time to get back to the grind... I'll c ya'll l8r.

:: disclaimer :: i stole this

I am a Disney CP. Yes I lived in Orlando, and yes, it's shady and skeezy - but just thinking about it makes me smile.
We dont call it Orlando, it's O-town or 32821, get it right

We
go to the parks everyday and make damn sure we get backdoored onto the
rides. And yes, getting backdoored is the best thing ever.

We go to Wal-Mart all the time for no reason, and bitch b/c Target has a closing time.


We could be from Alaska or Maine, but we still went home saying "ya'll." (this one is my FAVORITE cuz it is so true)

We know what TTC, DAK, PI and all those fun things stand for.

We've had to pop our trunks for security

We know what Vista Lay means.

We compare our ID pictures

We love going to the Vista Pool, but we'd NEVER go in the hot tub

We've been to Bdubs and Ale House at least 3 times a week, with at least 10 other people.

My car STILL has sand in it from Cocoa Beach.

We ruled PI on thursday nights.

We have friends in almost every country.

At
least 100 of us can never work for disney again because we got fired
for drinking in our apts or stealing stupid Disney stuff.

We've almost been hit by a Dynamic bus at least 5 times

We still can't figure out what language the bus drivers are speaking in

We like to pretend that we understand every language spoken to us

We eat Chick-fil-a and Wendy's for every meal.

We know what alpha-unit means, and if our friends at home get hurt, we always ask them 3 times if they need assistance

We could go to Starbucks... while shopping at Target

We dated or made out with at least one person, whether we liked them or not.

I still have a ZILLION of those stupid mickey stickers

I've been to Mickey's Retreat on more than one occassion

We point with 2 fingers, not one and magical moments and take 5's make me smile

I
am an 05 CP, and im damn proud of it. I hope to God you have a magical
day (If someone wishes you a magical day it means f*** you in disney
language).

------------
Anything at all I'd say,
To you
Why'd you have to go away?
Hug this pillow oh so tight,
Wishing not for day,
Or light..
Leave me alone and crooked..

I'm wishing all the more,
For dreams,
Standing here at my door...
Dreaming of you every night
Wishing not for day,
Or light
Can I say,"I still miss you..."?

Making my way to the front of the fuss,
There's no excuse to be scared to bust..
Cause we don't know... No we don't know..
What we're fighting for..
But I fight for you, like and untamed beast
Emotions let run, and on you they feast..
Hold me close now.... Hold me close now..
Can't live without you, anymore
--------------------

im boycotting mrs daniels class

2 Timothy 1:7 - For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of love, and of power, and of self controll.

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay his life down for his friends." ~John 15:13

play this! it's the most adorable game ever!

It shows you the simplicity and joyfulness of being a circular field mouse floating off a tree on a leaf while throwing acorns at flower buds and turning them into butterflies.

It's amazing believe me.

I've decided that I anticipate things way too much and then get disappointed when things don't meet my expectations.... I remember that first week of college felt so surreal. Laura-Anne and I just kept talking about how it didn't really feel like we were in college. Like college was supposed to be this way and it wasn't after all.

When I transferred, I was so excited about going to a school quite a bit smaller than NIU. I had great expectations of how it was going to be.... In the end, I was disappointed because it did not meet my educational needs after all.

Looking for grad schools, visiting, and even buying my books for the semester was so exciting to me because it seemed like finally I was going to study what I wanted to do. I envisioned the classes beforehand and was so excited about the possibilities. I don't know if its because its the end of the semester and we are all worn out but it just feels like this wasn't what I expected at all.

Next semester, we are going to get our butts kicked in disease classes. We are so into "Leslie-mode" that some of us have stopped really trying. I lack even the motivation to complete my internship applications. I think we are going to have a rude awakening when we have to work really hard next semester.

I guess I am tired of being disappointed. Maybe I need to stop expecting so much. From situations and from people. When we went to Disneyland, I wasn't expecting to have as much fun as we did. And that turned out to be one of my favorite days all year long! So I am going to try to stop anticipating so much and just enjoy the experience, good or bad, as it comes.

And on a lighter note....

Seth: Dude, what do we do? I don't want to get thrown out of the hotel. I love the hotel. I want to marry the hotel and have little alcoholic, gambling-addicted kids with it. Is that wrong?

Sandy: Whose card did you put this on?
Seth: Please. The old man's.
Sandy: I love you, Son.
Seth: I love you too, Dad. Only not as much I love the Vegas.

Oh yes, gotta love The Vegas! In less than a week, Heather and I will be picking up Mom and Neal up from the airport and spending a few days enjoying The Vegas!

all i want for christmas is jason mraz.

ha

he put on such a good show.

You take what you want from it, whether you're hurried to get here or not. We are where we are and its gorgeous no matter what- You have to admit, life is gorgeous."- Mraz

A mother can replace anyone.
No one can replace a mother.

A girl who has lost her mother told me that. Its odd that people who have gone through horrible things like that seem to have the most faith of all and the least tolerance for wasting life, weither Christian or not.

is going better... contrary to the fact that someone is mad at me for financial issue... that i could care less about.

14 days till CHRISTmas!!!

So I spent last night dreaming about and today thinking about that book.

I went back and re-read some of it and figured out what it was that kept calling me back. When Angel leaves Michael it is not for lack of love, she is consumed, overwhelmed by her love for him, she doesn't even fully understand it. However, despite her lack of comprehension, she does understand one thing fully, she wants ONLY what is best for this man she loves and who has done so much for her, more than he even knows. In this particular story Angel cannot have children, something Michael desperately wants, even though he knows she cannot have them and has let that go, Angel knows it wounds him deeply. This knowledge is a major contributing factor to why she leaves him the last time, she truly believes he would be better off w/o her, that her being with him has destroyed or prohibited his dreams, she refuses to do this. Because, you see, despite her fighting against it, Angel understands the hardest type of love, sacrifical love. And she embodies it.

It was this realization that struck me so hard yet again. Partly I guess it served as confirmation, I have often believed that someone I loved would truly be better off withouth me, despite what they said. And more than once I have distanced or cut myself off from someone I love, not wanting to, but doing so b/c I believed they would be better off. Many people have thought this foolish, but I guess through this I learned that sacrifical love does exist, its just rare.

However in the book Angel also learns of God, comes to believe and through miraculous God- orchestrated circumstances, comes back to this man she loves. I believe this comes to past to demonstrate God's unyielding  mercy, he gives us things even when we don't deserve them. Angel did not deserve Michael's love, but he gave it, and it was for her alone. That is what I'm hoping for, a God-orchestrated love that is above and beyond what anyone could ask for.

I know w/o a doubt there are people in my life due to nothing less than God-direction. It is an awesome phenomena to witness God working directly in your life. I just pray I live up to His expectation and never forget to be grateful for all those I love of which I am so unworthy.

 Well, heres a pic of me and my best friend a little over 3 weeks ago. I had so much fun that day! Well, I thought it was time to update so I am..lol! Well, everything seems to be staring to fall into place. Lauren is suppost to be moving up here now soon cause Justin's friend got the job at MTSU!

"To be great is to be misunderstood."

I don't remember who said it, but I sure hope they were right.
