man, i'm totally tri-polar

Well we didn't get talent show..neither did aaron's band which is rediculous..

I'm hangin in there right now..life could be better..could be worse lol..balancing the optimism and pessimism right now..

celebrated 6 months being with Dani..I love her more than she will ever know...

School is school..Some chicas gave good reasons why there is stereotypes in one of my classes..this girl won homecoming queen and one after another they went "OMG I voted for her!!" After the fifth one I said, "Omg I hate high school.."

I sometimes like to be a jerk its fun haha

Anyhow I hope everyone is fine..Later days..

i am buying the ipod nano
and my aim buddy list got deleted.
so any s/n's will be accepted

Well look at it!!!! Im on a role! What is this like 4 days in a row??? BOOOYAAA! I know, i know, my fans are are thinking "wow what could be better??" Well not much could be better than reading about my extremly exciting and glorious life lol J/K. Now on to serious matters. I was thinking today about how much God has blessed me with amazing relationships! God has been revealing to me that each relationship I have is given by him and I should cherish it so so so much! You see, a wise teacher I had in high school (Mr. Dan) came into class on his first day and wrote on the board "It's all about relationships" and then he went on a spill on how important relationships are and how all of life comes down to relationship we have with others. Now at the time I was in 9th grade and didn't comprehend the depth of what he was saying. But lately God has been revealing how wonderful this truth "its all about relationships" is. Over a long process I have begun to chew on that idea and realized how true it is. You see I realize that when I boil it down my ultimate purpose on this planet is to know God and to make him known. (cliff notes version lol) But when I look at both of those, both are based on relationships! You see, I must have a relationship with God before I can have an impact in this world for him. Then I must have a relationship with others on this planet to have an influence on them. So you see, I am starting to realize that even the smallest of relationships in my eyes play such a huge part in what God's view for my life's purpose is. If life really is all about showing God and making him known, every action I proceed on doing has an effect on others (relationships) and so I have to take that extremely seriously. God has blessed me by putting people into my life. He continues to bless me because he believes and wants me to use the love and passion he has blessed me with to impact others for Him. It would be selfish of me to take a relationship God has blessed me with and use it for my pleasure or just not give it my all. I am not saying I have to be best friends with every person and hang out constantly. Not at tall. I am saying it is selfish of me to make fun, leave behind, or neglect a person just cuz. You see I as a Christian am called to a higher standard than the world around me. While the world says - "go for the throat! It's a dog fight the whole way up so get the upper hand. Make fun of people to advance your prosperity. Don't talk to those "friends" of yours that you have become to popular for. Whatever it takes to be the "coolest" or most powerful, do it." God calls me to uplift anyone he has put in my life. To treat them as if I were Christ. Though I will never be perfect at loving and reaching the people around me, God calls me to strive to be that way. I think something else God has shown me in this whole process is that he loves and cares so so so so much for each of his creations. I know that is obvious but when I really think about the extent of his passion for the hearts and souls of his creations, I can't help but think about how selfish it is of me to be mean, or inconsiderate to another person. I see now that God loves and cares so much for that persons heart and soul, who am I to hurt that heart or soul through my selfish ambitions! It would be like me just saying -"hey God, see this person you love and care for so much? do you see this child of yours that you are working so intricately with to draw them to your side? Yea, well I am going to hurt them because I want to look better in the worlds eyes. I’m going to hurt that heart that you are so tenderly touching. All because of what I WANT!" Though that’s not what goes through my head when I hurt someone for my own benefit, i see now that is what I am saying with my actions.
Again, I’m not sure if any of this made see but oh well lol. it makes sense in my head lol. I hope that everybody is having a great day! I hope and pray that anyone that reads this will in some way hear God in it some where.

In Him,
Jonathan
1 Thes 5:16-18

Yeah so I basically forgot I had one of these for a really long time.

So what are you guys doing?

Chinese food is so amazing.
I have a sore spot on my lip...where the mouthpiece sits. Ouch.

Will my bad day ever come to a close?..

It seems with everyday, there's only one fate,

And so that way my life goes..



If I said,"I'm lost without You", I know how true it'd be...

I just realize, when it comes down to it,

How clueless I really seem to be...



I just wonder why that's how it is,

When I try hard, and do my best,

To get through a life like this...



Why is it I seem to always be left behind?..

Left so far back with nothing but sorrows,

To constantly fill my broken mind...



Tell me there will finally come

A better day...

I'm worn out already.

And it's only Monday.

I WILL NOT STRESS OUT ANYMORE.

Hopefully.

Birthday countdown: 1 day

leave me a remark and tell me 5 things that you like/love about me.....

then tell me 5 think that you don't like/hate about me....

AO Flag Football returns to action this Thursday at 9pm at the MTSU Intramural Field. Last year, AO saw there season come to a dramatic end in a 19-18 loss in the Intramural Championship game. It was also AO's only loss of the year.

This years team is ready to play but more hungry to go out and be lights for Christ. This year's team returns James Alfonso, Daniel Patterson, Chase Larson, Ben Brown, Colonel Robbins, Scott Maxwell, and Clint Nadeau. Coming over to Join AO from last years AO Team 2 team are Micheal Nick, Andy Nick, Brent ???, and Rob McCloskey.

Please pray for the team and for us by name. Pray that God would use us to show Christ to our opposing team, the refs, the fans that come out for both teams, and that we would be encouraging of each other.

Come out this Thursday night at 9pm at the MTSU Intramural Field to show your support for the AO Men's Flag Football Team. A great opportunity to hangout with friends (also known as "fellowship") and make new relationships with people not in your Christian bubble.

"Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
1 Corinthians 10:31

"Choosing only the things you like
isn't irresponsible.
If you can't find anything you like
then why accept the responsibility?
I take only the possibilities that I'm ready to accept.

If it's something you don't need then
compassion is of no use at all.
If it's something important then
pain will probably accompany it.
Loneliness that you feel together is worse
than a loneliness that you feel
by yourself.

No matter what loneliness comes,
no matter what pain you feel,
you mustn't close your eyes to it.
Because even if you lose all your
words, even if you say it doesn't matter,
if you stumble
it will be there to help you up.
That's what kind of thing it is."
-Ayu

OH crap...I have a test today...and I completely forgot about it. Oh crap crap crap. I'm gonna fail. I guess it's better to take the test than not to take it at all. SHEEESH! I can't believe I frogot it. *slaps myself with the stupid stick* Crap....

I opened this up to write some insightful comment. I wanted to write about His faithfulness, His grace, His neverending love towards us. I wanted to write about how He answers prayer. I wanted to do all these things, but I can't. My mind is soo clouded right now. The junk of life keeps looming overhead and raining on my thoughts.
I guess one comfort is that time keeps on ticking. No matter what is going on, no matter how good or bad, time passes by one second at a time. Before long a second is a minute, then an hour, then its a new day.
God says He is rich in mercy. I guess I'll look for new mercies in the morning.

--EDIT--
I realize now that my post came across as complaining. My life is good. I can open my eyes to the despair and hopelessness found in the people on campus to see that my life is very good. A bad day while knowing the love, contentment, and peace found in Christ beats a good day not knowing the One whose grace is sufficient even for me.

Hey ya'll! Just thought I would update...cause it's been a little since I wrote on here!! Things have been absoultly CrAzY!! Even though I don't have work or school, my days are still being filled up, by the people I wanted to see and hang out with and all the things I gotta do before I leave! And sure I guess for the most part I'm like...."omgosh....I'm not going to get it all done! I'm going to go crazy!" But once I stop and take time to think about it, I like staying busy like this, so that way I'm not so focused on leaving! Gosh, how time flies! I've had all these great things planned with my friends this summer, and I can't believe they've all already flown by! I've got great memories to take out there with me and to share(some of them...lol) with the people I'm about to know as "family" and friends for the next 5 months! And then I'll be coming home and sharing all the great new memories with my family and friends! And ya'll have awesome and amazing things to share as well! How exciting! I just need ya'lls prayers!
But anyways! Here's what's been going on, last Sunday my parents gave me a going-away party! It was fun, and I loved that the people who mean the world to me where there (except about 3 and they have reasons :D ) And then this past Thursday was my last night of work...and I ended just like I would've wanted to! It went by fast and no stress! lol! Then....the best part of my week was this weekend! Me and Sarah went on our first road trip together!! And we didn't even get lost!!! YAY!!! lol! We went to Chat. to vist with my sister and brother-in-law, so I could spend some time with them and say bye. But we watched movies, went and got pizza and just hung out! Then the next morning we all sat in their room and had coffee and donuts! lol! Then on the way home my and sarah brought lottery tickets! lol, it's was fun cause it was a first for me! Then we headed home! After that my cousin came by and took me out to eat! And I had a great time hanging out with her and just talking with her! Then after that Tara, Becca, Hunter, Michael, and I went to the Rascal Flatts concert!! And I had a blast!!! (There's a whole story behind that...but that's for another day!) ;) Then yesterday, went to church and then my family and some friends went out to eat! Came home and my family and I played some games together, went to have cake at my grandma's house, then the Dillon's took me out to eat, and then I went to Power! It's good because I'm getting to get all my "good-byes" or "see ya laters" in! And I don't want to leave without being able to do all that! So anyways! DTS emailed me yesterday and sent me my mailing address there! So here it is, if you'd like to write me or anything:
Amber Hasler
Compassion DTS
University of the Nations
75-5851 Kuakini Hwy #430
Kailua Kona, HI 96740

Well anyways, I'm gonna go, I got many things I need to get done today! I love ya'll! And I'll talk to ya'll soon! *muah*!

they look stupid and hot all at the same time xD

this weekend was amazing. drive in friday night with Brittany, practice, sheet painting and chili's and movie with people on Saturday, sleep, Predators game, crazy pictures with my sister and the spaghetti factory on Sunday. and then i stayed up late working on that ridiculous english paper that i procrastinated WAY too much on...

yeah so if you want to see those crazy pictures, just check my album :)

I finally got some new pictures of myself. Cheryl, the pastor's wife at my church, made powerpoints of a lot of the pictures that were taken at camp. I pulled some pics off of it. I miss Camp Summer Sign. Of course I was almost always at the point of exhaustion, but I miss all the missionaries and the kids. I need to write them. I think I might talk to Jessie and Leighanna about teaching me to sign another song, and seeing if they want to sign it one Sunday. Jessie and Leighanna were missionaries this summer, and they liked so much they just decided to stay for a few more months. Anyway, here's some of my favorite websites:
deafworldministries.com/deafpoetry.html
brentwooddeaf.org
aslquest.com

i want to go home.
life sucks right now.
you cant even imagine.



prayers please.

Well here I am again! BOOYAA! I am sittin here in good old High Rise waiting for monday to hit so I can start a new week at school. Well my weekend has been great. I mean things have seemed so right this weekend. You know what I mean??? When you just sit back and completely relax in the fact that God has everything in your life under control. I dunno if you know what I am talking about but this weekend was one of those times. But now I am off to another week here at lipscomb! Looking forward to it but at the same time nervous cuz I don't know what new challenges will be put in my path... But in a way I am looking forward to those challenges cuz of what God has been showing me this weekend. I kinda want it to be put to the test so that God can refine my new thoughts into what he wants me to know and hold onto. Yet at the same time I don't want to ask for trials to be sent my way lol. Oh well what ever comes, just comes. Whatever it is God has put it in my life for a reason. A reason that is bigger than I will ever be able to comprehend fully. That is what is so cool!!!! I dunno God has really made me think a lot about how I should really just forget about trying to manipulate the situations I am in. Because God has me in these situations for a reason. It would be selfish of me to say - God, I want this to be this way and that to be that way and I am going to do this to accomplish that. - Don't get me wrong I know that God wants us to cry out to him and tell us everything, including what we think is best. But when I really think about it, God has everything under control. Even the bad situations. I know what you might be thinking. Wow JMo, your just telling me things I have already heard and thought about. Thanks for wasting my time, writing this for me to read. But you see, Im not writing this to strike some divine thought process in someone’s head. In part I am writing this to talk out a little bit of what God has been showing me. But most of the reason i write this is to maybe just spark some sort of thought or to just simply encourage someone. Cuz God has encouraged me, I must now share that with other believers to in some way maybe encourage them. I don't know I am still trying to organize all of this in my head, so sorry if this made no sense. lol. I hope everyone has a great day!!!!!

In Him,
J-MO
1Thes. 5:16-18

I totally had an entry all typed out, and when I hit the "submit" button, phusebox told me to log in. Well, in short, this was my day:

-- Put in digital prints at Wal-Mart.

-- Drove to Target and bought a(n) ((uber cute)) scrapbook, some letters, and three photo albums.

-- Went to service ((yes sir, I did Wal-Mart and Target before 10:30 this morning)) and sat with Drew, Kyle, Megan, and Katie. Dude, and Kaylei was there, too!!!

-- Back to Wal-Mart to pick up prints, buy mini deep dish pizzas, and an umbrella.

-- Lunch while watching Full House.

-- Put REALLY old pictures ((from 8th, 9th, mostly 10th, and Mexico)) in one of the photo albums.

-- College algebra homework.

-- Computer science project.

-- Random surfing of the net throughout all of this.

-- Poopy mood.

-- Long conversation with Page.

-- Write phusebox entry.

-- Write this phusebox entry.

I really ought to go to bed, lol.

I do believe I've had THE BEST day EVER!

This was a picture of my friend, Ani, at Crowder's Mountain that I took and photoshopped. You can see the original in my photos. "Unfailing Love"...it's so amazing. How much more I need to relish and remember that.

Dear Lord,
Thanks,for just always believing in me.
Without you I wouldnt of ever had this hope to believe in anything again.I so cant wait to see Lord what you have in store for me each and everyday cause I know whatever it is that you will show me in certain ways.If its a problem I know you will always help me get through it.I know whatever problems or struggles you give me in life are given to me for a reason.I know the reason being is to help me fight to become straonger in my faith in you Lord to show me that I can get through it.Im glad I always have you to look upon no matter what problems I might be facing.Im just trusting in you now and forever to lead me down the right path.Im always wondering what you have in store for me in my near future.I wish you could just show me some kinda sign to where Im headed to in my life.I know Thursday was a special day you gave me to show me some sorta sign.I know it was a sign to get right with you and get up on my feet again to believe in you and Im glad I had that sign sent to me that day.
In Him,
Kirsten

I really don't know what's going to happen.

There's a good chance both of my teachers will be like, "Hell no, we're not letting you make up all that work AFTER the six weeks is over!" In fact, I'd like to bet $10 on that.

And if they do say that... there's gonna be a whole hell of a lot of consequences. From:

• My dad. He hasn't really had to *punish* me for anything I did wrong since I was about three years old.
  
• My mom... maybe. She's weird. I think she wants to play "good cop" right now.
  
• Mark. He may put me up for demotion.
  
• Colonel. May demote me whether Mark puts me up for it or not. Also might take away my platoon.
  
• Mr. Klaus. He'll just stare at me and say, "Sarah... wtf?"

Not to mention it'll leave a nice gash on my GPA. Even if I make 100's on my next six weeks and my final, I'll still only be able to make B's for the semester [barely]. And that's not likely at all.

People punish themselves in weird ways. I don't do drugs or cut or anything... I just don't do my homework.

ARGH! This wonky-teenage-emotial-thought-block-thingy is really starting to annoy me. I don't understand myself. If I did, it might be easier to get myself to start working again.

THE EAGLES ARE ON TV!!!!!!

So I've kinda been neglecting my phusebox, but maybe I'll start up agian. Well, this weekend was absolutly amazing, excluding the band practice. Friday was sort of stressful, with two life or death tests. After that swimming was super fun! It was really short for one thing, and at the end was so much fun! We did relays for like 30 min. and then we got to go home! Yay for movie night at my place!
Let's just say that there were way alot of people at my house, but I love my friends and they are totally awesome!

Yeah so tonight was pretty much awesome we played football in the rain and it was the funnest time ever.... So I will shout out to all my football buddies a huge applause to all of them... but with that my day was great... well thats pretty much all I have thanks for your prayers and I hope all of you have a great day
IN CHRIST john
