Explanation of Why God Exists (Please read this)
September 08 2005
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about all kinds of things.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children? If
God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument!
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy,
dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkept.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said
to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."
Exactly!"- Affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for
Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

New College Experiences!
September 08 2005
I now feel like an OFFICIAL college student.
After my classes today, I went to the Phillip's Bookstore to purchase the cuteset MTSU license plate they had for my new car. There I spoke with Justin Vance so that was neat.
After purchasing the license plate, I walked over to the library. I felt a little lost and confused in the reference section, but I did not let that overwhelm me! After an inspirational talk with Graham Wells (I'm slightly exaggerating, but it was good talking to him), I ventured to the copy room. It cost me 50 cents for 20 cents worth of copies, but that's ok. Trial and error is essential to the college experience.
I then ventured to the second floor to see what was there. Lots of books, of course. I found a catalog computer, typed in the name of a reference book I was looking for, and wrote down the call number. I also searched for C.S. Lewis books, and was amazed by the many choices. Awesomely enough, many were in the row right next to the computer! So I scanned the books, found one called The Joyful Christian, and headed back downstairs. There I located the reference book, deemed it worthless, asked services where to check my book, checked it out, and here I am.
Today I have my first Collage staff meeting.
Today I also have my first J-group meeting.
Tomorrow is the AO new student retreat. I think tomorrow I may also be working out at the Rec Center for the first time (well, as a student. Swimming with Amy Amonett for $3 over the summer doesn't quite count).
Saturday will be the first football game of my college career.
It's finally sinking in, and I'm finally catching the drift. I'm in college, and now that I'm getting the swing of it, it's pretty cool.

Nap's are good...
September 08 2005
So, I just got up from a three and a half hour nap. Why you might ask, because for the past two nights I haven't gotten much sleep...and probably wont tonight. I had good intentions for last night. I was gunna do my homeworke, study, then be in bed by 11. NOPE, me and Misty stayed up all night talking about guy's (that's what girls do) and I didn't lay down until 1:30. Today was busy with classes, found out I have not only 2 test's tomorrow, but 1 Friday...along with 4 reports He decided to tell us about today!!! Oh crap, my clothes are finished let me go get them. K, and my whole body hurts from working out yesterday...which is a good thing. But, church tonight, school tomorrow and Friday, and a whole weekend to do as I please. Oh, and the Saddie Hawkins is Friday...probably not going...I don't do the whole asking guy's out thing, plus I don't know anyone here that isn't already taken/gay/or just not my type AT ALL. So, that might be a good night for people to get on aim and talk to me, maybe. lol, I hope everyone is having a great day!! And talk you later!!
smile~ash
ps--here's a question for the guy's...me and Misty talked about this last night...For guy's is it out of sight out of mind-as far as girls are concerned?

Autumn?
September 08 2005
So... does anyone else notice the subtle change of air quality lately? It's been this way since around the time Katrina came through. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still wicked hot but I think the air has gotten crisper. I notice this at night when it actually gets a little chilly when the breeze blows by and how the car actually cools off if I roll the windows down while driving. It's hot, but when the air moves it's actually cool.
This excites me to no end! Fall is my FAVORITE season. I think it is so beautiful- the sunsets are more purple than red, the trees become a rainbow of colors and things just seem a bit more cozy. It makes me think of great childhood memories. Even if this change isn't temporary just yet, the taste of the coming season has me in a very good mood. :)
I might also associate Fall with beginnings instead of endings like is traditional. I think it's how our society is set up as Americans- especially those of us in school. Our year starts at the close of summer and ends at the beginning of the next summer. I've never liked summer for that reason, I think. It represents change to me. AND as a hardcore Taurus (lol) I am not a personality that appreciates permanent change. I actually like changes such as someone visiting, going on vacation and doing something odd as long as when I get done doing whatever it is I can come back to the life I left behind.
Wow... just realized that I won't be going back to the same Picayune that I left. Really makes me upset. So...
I'm going to move and end the rambling. LOL Peace out.

Fall in the Air
September 08 2005
Don't you just love the last days of summer when you start to feel fall in the air? I was walking back from class today, and I decided it was such a beautiful day because I could feel a slight coolness in the air. I could still feel the heat of the sun, but I could feel a tiny bit of autumn. And let me tell you it is spectacular! I love this time of year!

Prayer for a dear friend
September 08 2005
Hey guys. I know you all have so much going on in your life right now but could you please pray for a dear friend of mine. She had been diagnosed with Breast cancer about 5 years ago when I first got to Seminary and had been cancer free for the last 4years but She had to undergo an emergency surgery that lasted 12 hours to remove a cancerous brain tumor. She's now in ICU at a hospital in Texas & will start radiation treatments soon. Then she'll need a PET scan to see if she needs to do chemo therapy or not.
As you can imagine, SHe and her family are unsettled especially due to the sudden nature of all this.
Please pray for them in this time, for the doctors to make wise decisions, and for those family members caring for her to get rest in spite of the long hours at the hospital.
Thank you guys

God proved me wrong
September 08 2005
It's been so amazing to see all that God has taught me over the summer about about myself and about ministry. One area that struck me last night at a dinner to introduce the new youth pastor was about my influence (Thank you to John Maxwell's "The Law of Influence"). I never really saw before how many countless people children, youth, adults, seniors look up to me as a leader. And truly they do. What a great priviledge! Especially for the children and youth. Even the new youth pastor knows I'm a great resource for him. And that's great because I can make the transition into this new job all the more easier for him.
God has also given me the opportunity to help connect the women's ministry with the Fusion young adult women at my church. It's not a huge thing, but again it's another way in which God has shown me how much of a leader I truly am. I have no clue what I'll be doing, but I'm excited about the opportunity. God has put the desire on my heart to see a program be set up for young women to be mentored by older women. It's something I definitely need in my own life, so I know there are others like me who need the same.
Lastly, God has been showing me how much of a leader and how much influence I have in Fusion. Again, I never really saw myself as having much influence there, but come to find out I even had influence when I was 700 miles away in NYC. How awesome is that?
And here I thought I wasn't much of a leader, just someone in the background. God proved me wrong again.

Work In Progress
September 07 2005
This is kinda fun, lots of work left to do though
it's been a great week back at work
September 07 2005
monday was labor day-a holiday, but i still went into work. but not until 2PM, so i definitely got to sleep in. at work the office was nice and quiet with only a few stragglers coming through here and there. in other words, i actually got some work done!
tuesday i woke up early so i went into work early. as people came into the office they kept asking me if something was wrong...they aren't used to seeing me that early in the morning. but once everyone got there, not much work got done. oh well. i did go shopping in the afternoon though for a couple of dance pads and a ddr max game :)
wednesday work was done out of the office. jeff and i met at bmcc and checked some things out. made a connection at the college that will be beneficial in the months to come. then we made our way over to baruch college just to see what it was like. we don't know anyone that is a student there and almost didn't even get to enter the main building. after getting in, student life wasn't to sure of what we had to offer and the person we needed to talk to wasn't even there. so needless to say, that trip wasn't as successful as the one to bmcc. but the experience was good to have gone through.
i got a new york public library card today. watch out libraries...here i come!

September 07 2005
uhurm...
*sticks out tongue*
NEENER NEENER NEENER!
I didn't read chapters 4 or 5 of my Advanced Placement US History textbook. We had a quiz over it yesterday.
I got a 95.
As in ninety-five percent.
Yeah, that's right. I got an A.
Over college textbook material that I DIDN'T READ.
[[Do take note: I did study my friend Cassie's six pages of notes that covered both chapters and my friend Marshall's 1/2 page of notes that covered the first bit of chapter 4.]]
[[I wouldn't have bothered with Marshall's, except that he takes the most efficient notes I have ever seen in my life. Very very very descriptive, very very very concise.]]
But yeah. Pretty sure that a lot of other kids who actually spent hours studying and taking notes [open-note quiz] got C's or F's.
Just remember kids,
If I can do it, it's guaranteed that you can too.
Don't read the homework. Make A's without cheating.
Fight the system.

a few truths..
September 07 2005
i got this from my friend ryan's site....
save people in hospitals and shelters are never mentioned except in
passing, and Mr. Bush, who is turning over heaven and earth to rescue
the victims of the storm, is endlessly vilified?
What church
does Rev. Al Sharpton belong to that believes in passing blame and
singling out people by race for opprobrium and hate?
What
special abilities does the media have for deciding how much blame goes
to the federal government as opposed to the city government of New
Orleans for the aftereffects of Katrina?
If able-bodied people
refuse to obey a mandatory evacuation order for a city, have they not
assumed the risk that ill effects will happen to them?
When the
city government simply ignores its own sick and hospitalized and
elderly people in its evacuation order, is Mr. Bush to blame for that?
Is
there any problem in the world that is not Mr. Bush's fault, or have we
reverted to a belief in a sort of witchcraft where we credit a mortal
man with the ability to create terrifying storms and every other kind
of ill wind?
Where did the idea come from that salvation comes from hatred and criticism and mockery instead of love and co-operation?
A few truths, for those who have ears and eyes and care to know the truth:
1.)
The hurricane that hit New Orleans and Mississippi and Alabama was an
astonishing tragedy. The suffering and loss of life and peace of mind
of the residents of those areas is acutely horrifying.
2.)
George Bush did not cause the hurricane. Hurricanes have been happening
for eons. George Bush did not create them or unleash this one.
3.)
George Bush did not make this one worse than others. There have been
far worse hurricanes than this before George Bush was born.
4.) There is no overwhelming evidence that global warming exists as
a man-made phenomenon. There is no clear-cut evidence that global
warming even exists. There is no clear evidence that if it does exist
it makes hurricanes more powerful or makes them aim at cities with
large numbers of poor people. If global warming is a real phenomenon,
which it may well be, it started long before George Bush was
inaugurated, and would not have been affected at all by the Kyoto
treaty, considering that Kyoto does not cover the world's worst
polluters -- China, India, and Brazil. In a word, George Bush had zero
to do with causing this hurricane. To speculate otherwise is belief in
sorcery.
5.) George Bush had nothing to do with the hurricane
contingency plans for New Orleans. Those are drawn up by New Orleans
and Louisiana. In any event, the plans were perfectly good: mandatory
evacuation. It is in no way at all George Bush's fault that about 20
percent of New Orleans neglected to follow the plan. It is not his
fault that many persons in New Orleans were too confused to realize how
dangerous the hurricane would be. They were certainly warned. It's not
George Bush's fault that there were sick people and old people and
people without cars in New Orleans. His job description does not
include making sure every adult in America has a car, is in good
health, has good sense, and is mobile.
6.) George Bush did not
cause gangsters to shoot at rescue helicopters taking people from
rooftops, did not make gang bangers rape young girls in the Superdome,
did not make looters steal hundreds of weapons, in short make New
Orleans into a living hell.
7.) George Bush is the least racist
President in mind and soul there has ever been and this is shown in his
appointments over and over. To say otherwise is scandalously untrue.
8.)
George Bush is rushing every bit of help he can to New Orleans and
Mississippi and Alabama as soon as he can. He is not a magician. It
takes time to organize huge convoys of food and now they are starting
to arrive. That they get in at all considering the lawlessness of the
city is a miracle of bravery and organization.
9.) There is not
the slightest evidence at all that the war in Iraq has diminished the
response of the government to the emergency. To say otherwise is pure
slander.
10.) If the energy the news media puts into blaming
Bush for an Act of God worsened by stupendous incompetence by the New
Orleans city authorities and the malevolence of the criminals of the
city were directed to helping the morale of the nation, we would all be
a lot better off.
11.) New Orleans is a great city with many
great people. It will recover and be greater than ever. Sticking pins
into an effigy of George Bush that does not resemble him in the
slightest will not speed the process by one day.
12.) The entire
episode is a dramatic lesson in the breathtaking callousness of
government officials at the ground level. Imagine if Hillary Clinton
had gotten her way and they were in charge of your health care.

Cool Quote
September 07 2005
"Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you." Baby, Dirty Dancing.
I love this quote cause I love that movie. It means something to me cause I'm scared like that too. Especially that last part. There are people who will know what I mean and people who won't. I'm tired and I'm going to bed.
One day till my birthday.

Just anotther update!
September 07 2005
So we're just over 5 weeks now untitl the big day! I must say I can't wait! It has been so amazing to me as i've been thinking lately about all the things in my life that God has orchestrated together to make this day happen. God had it all planned from the beginning and so many times I tried to rush things or make things happen on my own agenda. As I've sat back and watched God unfold His plan in Josh and my life, its been incredible! To all the girls out there that need encouragement - Just put your trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways - Acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight!!!! It is totally worth every heartbreak and heartache and frustation when you see God's plan unfold in your life and see what an amazing man God has picked out for you!
Work is going pretty good, though I got stuck on three weekends in a row - which was quite dissappointting since Josh has off on the weekends and thats when we usulaly see the most of each other, but I must suck it up for now since I'm still on orientation and must follow someone else's schedule. The kids there are great! Many of these kids have been in the hospital for months now and the attitude that they have is amazing!!! They are so sweet their smiles make the 13 hour days bearable!
Josh's job is going well. He started practice last week. He had almost 40 middle schoolers come out for cross country!!! I think he was quite suprised that he had that many show up. Thats a lot to kids to keep up with I'm sure, but I know that he is doing an amazing job with them. I think he's getting the hang of teaching too! He has to spend quite a bit of time on his lesson plans an such, but it will get easier as the school year goes on.

Work is going pretty good, though I got stuck on three weekends in a row - which was quite dissappointting since Josh has off on the weekends and thats when we usulaly see the most of each other, but I must suck it up for now since I'm still on orientation and must follow someone else's schedule. The kids there are great! Many of these kids have been in the hospital for months now and the attitude that they have is amazing!!! They are so sweet their smiles make the 13 hour days bearable!
Josh's job is going well. He started practice last week. He had almost 40 middle schoolers come out for cross country!!! I think he was quite suprised that he had that many show up. Thats a lot to kids to keep up with I'm sure, but I know that he is doing an amazing job with them. I think he's getting the hang of teaching too! He has to spend quite a bit of time on his lesson plans an such, but it will get easier as the school year goes on.
Please continue to pray for us as we are still seeking out where God wants us to join a church. We love you all very much and would love to hear from you anytime! Keep in touch!

i am not him
September 07 2005
i love my parents. but i think i'm right on this.
i am not my brother. me and glenn are nothing alike.
yet i get compared to him.
right now im in standard english. i need to be in honors but my parents wont let me because the only honors teacher is a teacher that my brother had that supposedly "sent him down the wrong path straight into jail"
that year the issue was 9-11. of course this teacher had his views on it. and now this is its Katrina, which he has his strong views about too. he supposedly has weird religious beliefs.
glenn even fessed up to this teacher was the one that made him start thinking about other beliefs than those of the Bible and started twisting his thougts.but i think that glenn made his own decisions.
heres where we differ.
i am stronger in my faith than my brother was. at my age glenn had, im sure, already started into the partying mix and such, and i have never had a drink of alcohol or been to a high school party. glenn was known as a completely different kid in high school than i was and i hope to keep it that way. dont get me wrong. i love glenn with everything. hes amazing.
i had honors last year and the reason why i liked the teacher is because we had discussions and such things that made it more interesting. and from what ive heard from my friends in that class, they do those type things and more. in my standard class all we do is essays and grammar type things. i want to learn more! it will set me back when im a senior.
i know that having a good education is a worldly thing and that my God is more important than anything. but i think i can do it, actually i know, with and only with God beside me i can do it.
and back to the 9-11/Katrina thing. 9-11 was glenn's time to deal with him and choose his path (which by the way ever since glenns jail time hes been the closest to Christ he ever has been) but maybe Katrina and his views on that is my time to redo what happened to glenn and make it right.
i dont know.
feedback please.
i love you.

"And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because
I gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape."
I'd post the whole song, but that'd take up a lot of space. That song...is exactly what i'm feeling. No questions asked, hands down...great song.

I have the most inhumane schedule possible. It's just not right to make someone have an awesome parking space in the morning, and then make them wait around until 1 to keep it.
I give in very easily to very attractive girls in Mustangs. Tuesday I had the best parking space ever, and I went to swap books and sit in my car, then all of a sudden this very attractive girl asked if she could have my parking space. I said of course, and moved.
"Under My Thumb" is my favorite Rolling Stones song.
"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"
Saturday, it all comes together.
I miss Erin Horton, especially on average days like today. She is/was my wildcard friend.
The whole New Orleans situation is really bothering me. I think the fact that it could be months before all the damage can be found is what does it.
Economics is my favorite class.......

I've decided that my new goal in life is to have an account on every inane teenage networking site.
So far, I have:
*a Xanga
*a few Livejournals
*Myspace
*Hi5
*Phusebox, obviously.
And possibly more that I'm forgetting.
Other than Facebook, what's left now?
When I signed up for Hi5, I put in my old yahoo address book to see if anyone I used to know was on there, and my best friend from 6th grade has an account there.
I'm not sure if I'm going to bother contacting her, though, as I think she might use internet slang.
And that would kill me.
Also, I found out today that they've made a Harry Potter iPod.
I love Harry as much as anyone, but seriously. It's just a twenty gig iPod with the Hogwarts crest on the back.
Lame.

"The river of the Spirit of God overcomes all obstacles. Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the dificulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you simply remember to stay focused on the Source. Never allow anything to come between you and Jesus Christ- not emotion nor experience- nothing msut keep you from the one great sovereign Source" -Oswald Chambers
i think for most people it is a battle not to look at a trial that they are going through. i think it is difficult to surrender those emotions, questions, and attempts to control over to God. God definitely spoke to me through that passage last night. with tears streaming down my face because of the emotions that have been flooding my heart and my mind, i felt God telling me to keep going, give it to Him, and look only to Him. so what if i have been feeling lonely? so what if i have been sad? instead of wallowing in my emotions and self-pity, i should turn to Him FULLY. not just sometimes when it hurts really bad. but all the time. no emotion should come between God and i. nothing should. i just have to remeber that He is in control. there is a reason behind everything that i have been going through. He is the only one to fill me up, when i feel empty. He is the only who will NEVER disappoint me. He will always be there whispering things i long to hear. He will always tell me i am beautiful, loved and needed. He always pursues me. i am passionately desired by Him. so knowing that, i am confident that He is a Sovereign and loving Father and will take care of me.
"God has been opening up wonderful truths to our minds, and every point He has opened up is another indication of the wider power of the river that He will flow through us." -Oswald Chambers
so i hope everyone has a great night!!!
*edit*
i love God
::dances::
AO was awesome. loved the worship. loved the message. i'm starting to see clearly that God truly desires for me to have an intimate relationship with Him. think about a relationship. you put your time and effort into it. you hopefully talk to that person daily, you get to know their heart, they get to know yours, you think and care about them... that is what God desires. not just a platonic love... He wants you to be IN LOVE with Him. a deep unhindered, passionate, love. a relationship.
so God is great in many ways... i also received two messages of coldplay playing in NYC. so that was just topped off my great night. yay for an awesome boyfriend, coldplay, and a big yay for God!
so i hope everyone has a great night!
GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER!!!
September 07 2005
Well...the title says it all. In about one week or so...my dog will be dead. So with that being said...if anybody wants a short, fat, stubby little mut named Casey, then give me a call at 849-6925. We think casey is a weird mix between a golden retriever and a welsh corgey, but when we got her as a puppy, the owner told us the father was a black lab. I've just about come to the conclusion that a black lab, a golden retriever, and a welsh corgey had a threesome and one of them ended up birthing my dog lol. Sounds gross, but who knows...it could have happened lol. Heck, if u take my dog off my hands, i'll even throw in a free dog collar, feeding bowl, brush, and a pair of toenail clippers (which my dog despises...the last time I tried to use those things, my dog nearly bit my head off). But really, with all that being said, she is a great loyal and faithful dog. She is about 8 years old but she's goin strong. The only reason we're gettin rid of her is b/c people from a nearby neighborhood were complaining about her crapping in their yards (we trained her to crap in other people's yards and not our own lol...good dog!) So somebody PLEASE take my dog! I would hate to see her be given away to the pound for lethal injection. So i'm pretty much obligated to get rid of her. Who knows, if nobody takes her, I might just sell her on ebay. Lol, but the package cost would probably be around $800 to ship her b/c she weighs so much lol. I don't have a pic of the dog, but just picture in your head a hotdog. Then add golden fur, about 200 lbs, a head and a tail, and some very short legs. There ya go, u got Casey. Well that's enough info about my dog. But she is up for grabs...so CALL NOW!!! 849-6925

September 07 2005
So lately i've had a lot more time on my hands than usual, and so far all i've done is work out and other non intellectually stimulating activities. So last night i was feeling particularly down on myself and picked up a book that justin vance gave me a couple of weeks ago.
fast foward to today, i'm on page ninety, and i'm going to go ahead and say that it is better than Wild at Heart by John Eldridge. i don't know, i haven't read all of it yet. it might be that i'm a different person now than i was when i read wild at heart, but it is still amazing, so go read it.
passages that smacked me in the face :
"Violence is arrogance that does not get its way" (smack)
"Submission is not about powerlessness; it is about meekness. To be meek is to have controlled strength." (big smack)
all my life i have had the proverbial "little man syndrome" because i was shorter than everybody else i felt it necessary to be beligerant and fight with nearly everyone. while lately these fights have verbal assaults and so forth, when i was younger it would not be uncommon for me to enter into a playground brawl. bing raised in the deep south, my parents always taught me, "Never start a fight, but you better finish it." needless to say i let this carry over into my speech and so i have alienated countless individuals.
McManus teaches that we have to be humble to be a servant of God, and the greatest thing is not to know that you are humble, but to live your entire life for others. it rocks.
i personally feel that God put Oswald Chambers on this earth to write My Utmost For His Highest specifically for me. every time i pick up that book, and read the days devotional, i get an answer to a prayer, nine times out of ten it isn't the answer that i want, but confirmation of god divinity nonetheless.
Lets take the past two entries for example, September 6th and 7th. if you don't already know this you do now, sarah broke up with me last saturday. so far it has been pretty hard to cope with having such an integral part of my life for the past three years just cut off, and i didn't know why and i was being mad and bitter, and then i read yesterdays entry entitled: The Far Reaching Rivers of Life. it talks about how your relationship with christ will result in a river of love flowing from your heart. however, when there is an obstacle in the path of that river, (hint hint robert, pay attention to the obstacle), the river is blocked. Chambers says: "Never allow anthing to come between you and Jesus Christ - not emotion nor experience - nothing must keep you from the one great sovereign Source." (amazingly huge smack)
so that was awesome, and then i woke up this morning and read: Fountains of Blessings. which once again smacked me for being so short sighted. "If you find that His life is not springing up as it should, you are to blame - something is obstructing the flow...Is there anything between you and Jesus Christ? Is there anything hindering your faith in Him?" ( a mighty smack in the face dealt by God through Chambers)
it is a strange feeling to broken by God, i mean it still hurts and you still feel pain, but through it all you see that eventually it is going to get better, and you can't wait for that to happen.
so in summary, i still love sarah, however i wasn't foucusing on God like i should have been, so God being a jealous God, and rightly so, took her out of my life. Do i wish that i could have had my act together so it didn't take that to get me in line? absolutely. but God gave me warnings, he told me i was heading for hurt, but i ignored him, so he did what he does, he worked in mysterious ways.
I love God, he gives me so much when i know i deserve so little...

so that was awesome, and then i woke up this morning and read: Fountains of Blessings. which once again smacked me for being so short sighted. "If you find that His life is not springing up as it should, you are to blame - something is obstructing the flow...Is there anything between you and Jesus Christ? Is there anything hindering your faith in Him?" ( a mighty smack in the face dealt by God through Chambers)
it is a strange feeling to broken by God, i mean it still hurts and you still feel pain, but through it all you see that eventually it is going to get better, and you can't wait for that to happen.
so in summary, i still love sarah, however i wasn't foucusing on God like i should have been, so God being a jealous God, and rightly so, took her out of my life. Do i wish that i could have had my act together so it didn't take that to get me in line? absolutely. but God gave me warnings, he told me i was heading for hurt, but i ignored him, so he did what he does, he worked in mysterious ways.
I love God, he gives me so much when i know i deserve so little...

have you ever felt like you cant get over tha one that hurt you tha most... even though you want to get over them you just cant let them go.. seing them with someone else would hurt you even if you was with somebody else too!! I cant seem to get over him I feel like i have lost tha perfect guy for tha rest of my life....
There will always be that one guy where
no matter how much he hurts you you'll
never be able to let HIM go

why, oh why, can't i ever have someone who feels the same way for me as i do for them...
am i just completely unattractive...don't answer that...i really like him, and he just doesn't even get it.
**EDIT** --- ya know, God is neat. My friend completely turned my night around. and i know that that was just God. so yeah. that's cool. it'll kinda suck to go to school tomorrow and see him, but i'll just keep my friend's words in the back of my mind. someone in this world does think i'm beautiful. besides Jesus.

I'll be seeing you♥

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
And The chestnut trees
The wishing well
And I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
And everything that's bright and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's bright and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
I had some thought on that song..
it's loverly..
Oh and my brother turned 21 today
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
And The chestnut trees
The wishing well
And I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
And everything that's bright and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon

Okay, so today was kind of annoying.
I was very cold, all day long, and more so than usual.
Brrr.
And some people had some very strange behavior.
Not just one person - a couple people.
I guess it just felt like there was something wrong today.
But I have a voice lesson tonight :),
and maybe tomorrow will be better.

You just gotta breathe
September 07 2005
So its been about 5mths since it happened. Yet I still find myself thinking maybe I didnt make the right decision, maybe I shouldnt have done it, maybe I should have waited it out and seen what happened, I should have been patient and trusted, But I didnt, I jumped to my own conclusions to it all and listened to what everyone else said would be the better decision then what I truly felt. It sucks to hurt this bad and not let anyone know that sometimes my heart is still broken in two and that I still miss it all. Yeah time does help but like the saying says it doesnt heal all wounds. But enough bout my pitty party just had to get it off my chest, but whatever.
So anyways today was fun. Me and Rach worked out last night which was an expience all on its own. I love when Rach txts me and Im sitting right beside her hahaha, we are soo crazy and this definantly has to become and regular thing of working out lol! But im goin to go wash my car, but Ill see most of yall at church tonight! Love--

My First Entry
September 07 2005
Hey look I joined Phusebox. Jenna mentioned it and I thought it looked cool and so now in addition to being Lucky_charm_girl on xanga I am Lucky_charm here. Whoot.
Well I'm bored and thought that I'd make a start. I guess since I can't think of much to write(type) I'll do an about me entry for those of you who don't know me, but might or have run across my blog, and for those of you who think you know me. LOL. I'm also doing this to remind myself of who I really am. Because sometimes in the mix of things you forget.
Name: Laura Nicole Roehrich
What people call me: Nicole, Laura, Chick, Love, Darling, Lucky, that one girl from class, that one girl that was in that one play, other random stuff.
Age: I'll be eighteen in one day
What I look like: This is a matter of opinion. Some people think I'm attractive and some people think I'm ugly. I'll give you what I see when I look in the mirror. Beware I'm not the kind of girl who thinks she's pretty. When I look in the mirror I see a girl who is not quite tall but not quite short. I'm chunky and sort of heavily built, that is to say I'm not slender. I have hazel eyes and short brownish, blondish, reddish hair. I look like the country farm girl I pretty much am. I'm not what most guys call pretty or attractive, I'm sort of plain except when I wear the shiny pants.
What I sound like: I've got a really bad southern country accent, which, in the interest of people understanding me, I try to curb.
What I'm Like: I'm sort of quiet and keep to myself, except when I'm with great friends. I can be loud and slightly nuts. I hide a slightly corrupted sense of humor and personality behind as innocent country girl. Occasionally I can get sort of giggly and can be an idiot.
What I like: I love chocolate, cheesy romantic love songs, dancing, music, manga, anime, books, the smell of a new script when you first open it, chocolate chip cookies, cheesecake, writing poetry, acting, movies, the smell of Kilo (but only when a certain person is wearing it), singing (I'm not great but I don't care), a million other things.
What I don't like and things that get on my nerves: People who talk about things they don't know anything about, people who judge others by the way they look or talk, too many commercials in my movies and on the radio, when they cut the best lines out of movies, when they cut off the ending of my favorite songs on the radio with a commercial, when they cover up the awesome song in the credits of a movie with info on the next one. There's other stuff, but that's enough about unpleasant things.
The whole point of this was: to remind myself of who I was, but it didn't work really.
There are times when I stand in front of my mirror and wonder who the heck am I. It's like the girl I see can't be me because I wouldn't think like this. I wouldn't worry like this, but I do. Sometimes I just forget that there's another part of me.
Forever Yours, Lucky

Keep in touch with God...
September 07 2005
I have this devotional book that I've been reading each morning before I head on to classes and it has been very encouraging to me....so I'm going to put in the entry from today, because I thought it might encourage you all. So here it is...
"Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly (following their advice, their plans and purposes)....But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually mediates (ponders and studies) by day and night."
Psalm 1:1-2
Keep in touch with God today; stay tuned to His voice. You may have a plan for the day, but God may lead you in a totally different direction if you are sensitive to the Holy Ghost. Be brave enough to flow with what you feel in your heart God wants you to do.
Today is going to be a good day. Listen for the voice of God to lead you. Be determined to walk in the Spirit and stay in the flow of God's leading today.

Apple Announces iPod Nano
September 07 2005
Today, at a special event, Apple announced the iPod Nano (and the death of the iPod mini). This thing looks amazing.
iPod Nano
The iPod nano will sport a color screen and will be available in 4GB or 2GB starting tomorrow.
choose black OR white
thin
The thing is tiny and incredibly thin.
In other Apple-related news, they also announced the ROKR, a phone that will be manufactured by Motorola and will be able to hold 100 songs from iTunes. Also, iTunes 5 will be out soon with a more intuitive interface.
All these announcements are good. The ROKR left me slightly disappointed, but the iPod nano made up for it. This will most definitely be the most popular item this Christmas... I have a 30GB iPod Photo and even I want one. They are so small...
check out the iPod Nano at the Apple Store
download iTunes 5.0

Common Sense
September 07 2005
I saw a guy with a Kerry Edwards shirt on today, and you have no idea how badly I wanted to walk up to him and say, "You do realize he lost, right?"
Bleh. I don't like it when I'm so focused on myself and fail to trust God. How stupid. He's the center of it all and I'm a tiny speck. He's in control of this whole gigantic universe and I know jack squat.
If anyone knows anything about the upcoming fall retreat, like what I'm supposed to take, please let me know! I feel very uninformed! I'm bringing $25 tonight in case they want it...
In geology, Lindsey and I sat there and rolled our eyes as we watched a video about the origins of the earth. Like did you know that the earth started out as a raging inferno, filled with molten lava and rock? Then somehow it magically evolved into the beautiful creation we have today. Hmmm imagine that.
*EDIT* Oh yes, and in case you were wondering, Math 1010 is not real math. Just a random thought I would share with my beloved Phusebox readers.

today in chapel we sang how great is our God... love that song. and then they added the love of God. wow. it hit me, as i was singing how measureless and strong just how strong His love is. that there's nothing i can do - no attitude i have or emotions i feel - that can extinguish that love. nothing. this morning i asked God to meet me today - and He did. darin had sent me these great verses about crying out to God - so i did. i wrote down everything i had been feeling and what i so desperately wanted God to do and He answered through this song. i had this thought - of God's love being like a firm grip on my life - something that i cannot shake. it is powerful, secure, unyielding, intense, fervent. i usually see His love as such a gentle, caring thing. and while it is that, today i realized that it's so much more. that He has a hold of me within that love and that He is not letting me go anywhere. i still feel sort of melancholy. but it sure feels good to be aware of His presence.
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song

Why? Is the question i have stated for life. Just why in general..
Tech advice...
September 07 2005
So, I am thinking about either getting replay TV or Tivo. Does anyone have one? If so, do you like it? Do you like the service? I was leaning more towards replay TV, but I read some reviews saying their customer service blows. So, any advice on the subject would be great.
I am also looking for a jump/thump drive. I was wanting a 1 GB, but I saw some on ebay that are 60GB and are only like $20-30 more than the 1GB. They are small(probably a little bigger than a cell phone) and would fit in a pocket or purse. I don't know much about these, or even if it would be worth it, so if there is an expect on external memory, let me know.
Hope everyone is having a good day! I realized yesterday that every minute that passes can never be captured again. Crazy, huh? Make the most of it.

Tracing, by John Mayer (I love me some lyrics)
September 07 2005
Do you ever get the feeling that we've started in the middle?
Or have you ever had the sense that we've been lying just a little?
I mean come on
It's not like we've known ourselves that long...
And I can't say I really blame you
For being bored with the beginning
Always staring at the score
To figure out who's barely winning
But don't you know
There is a reason strong moves slow...
And I'm okay
If you're okay, with wasting time
But when you trace
You always see the bottom line
We are tracing, I hope you know
We are tracing
And if you wanna know the moment
I knew that I was still alone
I found I never learned your number
I only stored it in my phone
You'd think by now
I'd know the shape of calling home...
And I'm okay
If you're okay, with wasting time
But when you trace
You always see the bottom line
And we are tracing
I hope you know
We are tracing, we're both alone
We are tracing
We are tracing
Did you ever get the feeling that we started in the middle?
Or have you ever had the sense that we were lying just a little?
I mean come on

Pics of Picayune
September 06 2005
So I just couldn't take not knowing what my town looked liked. My mom mainly had pics of my neighborhood, which were distrubing enough, but I needed to know how my town faired. My friend Julia had a few pics posted to her blog, but most were of her house. I saved a few of them and posted them on here but the large majority of them came from the Picayune Item's website. My eyes welled up seeing some of the pictures. Things just won't be the same in Picayune, yet I have to count the blessings. My town still looks like a town. My town is still there though heavily damaged. My town won't be the same ever again but it's far better off than most of the Coast. As I was reading through the backissues, I came across an article talking about how Picayune was adopted by a town in Nebraska called Beatrice. The town, as a collective, wanted to do something. So they searched for a town with a similar population, size and economy. They said Picayune was almost exactly like Beatrice. They've taken it upon themselves to offer Picayune as many services as they could provide including medical staff, resources and a labor force to help in the reconstruction efforts. What a blessing. I can't help but feel other places need the help worse than Picayune; however, it's very nice to know that a small town so far removed from the devestation is doing what they can do to help and be involved. It's such a blessing. A very real blessing for the town. Well, it's late and I want to head to bed. Catch you peeps later.
Homework
September 06 2005
The whole homework thing isn't working so well for me right now.
My roomies need to go to work so I can stay home alone and freaking study
and yet another update. The teacher for the class i've been totally stressing over because I had the late assignment posted this tonight:BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I uploaded the wrong file for WK2 and did not notice the error quickly enough. In the correct file, the assignment is slightly briefer and the due date is Sept. 11, not Sept. 4. I apologize for the mistake and for the anxiety it caused some of you. I will find a way of making it up to you later this semester.
wow. . .I have a few more days
:: sigh ::
I crop pictures instead of homework

Revelations...
September 06 2005
I'm starting to see why I am here (at Belmont that is). For a long time I thought it would be this giant epiphany that let me know why God led me here. But instead it was more of a "oh, so that's what its all about" moment. Which makes me feel dumb for not realizing this all along. Last night I was doing my bible study and it was talking about how God blessed Abraham, but didn't stop there. He blessed him that we might receive a blessing through him. I wish that I could recap all that it was talking about more adequately...but basically to sum it up...We're blessed to bless others. I realize this statement it probably pretty common to you. But just think about it for a second. If we took it to heart, and started living it out that our entire way of life would be transformed. I started thinking about how sorry I have been feeling for myself...not having many true friends...or money...and so on. The thing is...I'm not here for myself. Granted, I am at Belmont to receive an education...and so on...which is for myself. But I mean, that it isn't all about ME having friends, or ME feeling at home, or ME having someone fall in love with me. But if is all about pouring out into others live....being a friend to those who need one. Encouraging others who are down. And who knows, maybe through this I will in turn gain the very thing that I am longing for. Well, that is just something that I have been thinking about lately.
Basically, I love God and want to be just like Him...ahhhhh. I think that sums it up! Good night all!

and now i'm jealous.
September 06 2005
so my sister-in-law just called me and told me something and now i'm SUPER jealous of her. ok, she and my brother live in hawaii (already jealous of that), and this morning she found out that the season premiere of LOST will be shown a week early out there on the beach with the entire cast. i love that show and i love hawaii and i love adam and anne. i want to be there now. boooo for being here instead.

So what do you think Paul? Do you like it?
two masters....
September 06 2005
Amazing....
"No houseehold slave can be the slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't be slaves to both God and money."
Luke 16:13
::you can insert whatever you struggle with in the part of money at the end. but that is so true. God should NEVER be second in our lives.::
"Hate the sin and love the sinner ."
Gandhi
::i think that is how God views us and how we should view other people and ourselves. we shouldn't hate the sinners because we all do that but hate the sin that is in our lives. the Lord is great and has showered us with grace that we don't even deserve. the Lord is flippin' awesome!::

if i were an Eskimo i would live in a tiny igloo and id eat pumpkin pie all day and then i would go hide under the ice and when my other eskimo friends would go fishing in the little tiny holes in the ice, id put pumpkin pies on their hooks and then they'd pull it up and be all like, "i didn't know pumpkin pies were aquatic" and then i'd just happen to walk up and be all like "hey man, you gonna share that pie?"

They're coming out with a Wallace and Gromit movie!!! I flipped out when I saw the previews earlier, haha. Yes, that makes me supremely happy!
I freaking woke up at 7:20 for my 8:00 class. Pretty sure I graced the campus of MTSU without brushing my hair, teeth, washing my face, and without make-up. Yeah, I was roughin' it.
I've been told by two different people that I don't need to beat myself up over things. I never really realized I do it, but maybe I do. . . hm.
Oh, and go check out some pictures I took behind my house recently. They may be showing up on your friend digest.

its mady's birthday tommorow. mady's really cool, really short, and says my name in a really shrill voice!
which means she deserves a shout out!
unless shes lying, and its not her birthday, but nonetheless, i will buy her chocolate.
haha, so, i dont know how my day was, i will judge this based on tommorow/the rest of the week.
so, hopefully someone doesnt hate me, like i suspect. honestly, i really do think this person hates me. so, pray for me and my situation, and hope it works out for the best!
thanx guys,
stay cool kids,
sara.

Best Of Me
September 06 2005
I got another confession to make... Im your fool...
my life gets better
the days get brighter
the sun shines a little more throught the clouds
the rain dies
the fog fades
broken hears are mended
broken dreams are soon fulfilled
lives restored
remade
reborn
.... and i can live
once more
and for some reason....
the next storm does it all again
the waves are much more than a hurrican
katrina? hah!
these storms make Katrina look like a mist
the tsunami was a drop in the flood of sorrow im faced with
"and what starts such a storm?" you may ask...
one thing
a small thing
yet a large thing
an inevitable thing...
a confusing thing
a thing of many pieces
but a thing to make you complete
love
L. O. V. E.
its only that...
one word...
causing the worst of nightmares
and the best of dreams...
just one word
one feeling
one life
one LOVE
Is someone gettin the best, the best, the best of you?
