These things take forever, I especially am slow
August 31 2005
The good, the bad, the ugly, the weird, the exciting, the hopeful, the depressing, the boring, the same old same old stuff...
Sigh.
"So excuse me forgetting but these things I do --
you see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue.
Anyway the thing is what I really mean --
yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen."

So yeah... things are great. today i was thinking... so how awesome is it that Christ freed us all from the influence of our sin?! i mean... yeah... we're still going to fall and make mistakes.. but how amazing and how blessed are we that we don't have to feel hopeless... that we don't have to live our lives as slaves to sin?! HOW WONDERFUL!!! WE'RE FREE!!! and it really makes me ashamed that i don't always live like that. i'll have a bad attitude.. or i'll just feel alone... and i'm not. i have and AmAzInG SavIoR!!! so why not just live my life in praise of that.. why not get a lil "crazy" and tell someone for once. why don't i share God's saving grace? i mean... it's not just for me! Christ died for the world!!! and the world doesn't even know it! anyways... i just thought that i'd share that. i love you guys! ~Hope

Random Thoughts
August 31 2005
So if my aunt and uncle weren't coming to NY this weekend, I would totally be on a plane to Nashville. Plane tickets are $139 roundtrip from LaGuardia this weekend to Nashville. Well, I'll be there in a couple of months so I guess I'll just have to wait till then.
So my Mom called me this morning and told me she put money on my Starbucks card! I was way excited. Since moving to New York, I have become a coffee drinker. I also started eating yogurt covered raisins...thanks to my roomie Ellie. Which by the way, I miss you bunches and I am ready for you to come back.
So I am waiting on Meredith to finish what she is doing so we can go to her place and make dinner. We are planning on making chicken salad and watching either Spanglish or Miss Congeniality 2. Netflix is the greatest thing ever. I just pick what movies I want and they come to my mailbox. It is terrific!
It's only two more weeks till The Gilmore Girls season starts! If you haven't watched the show, you are missing out. The night before Ellie left for the Boro, we watched eight episodes of the third season. I think I am addicted.
Well...I am hoping that Meredith is almost ready, but if you know Meredith...you know I will probably be waiting another 10 or 15 minutes. You gotta love her!

My trip to TN
August 31 2005
So I just got back from Tennessee - it was a short trip - too short to really make plans to do anything. But I did get to see a few of you M'boro kids!! Thanks to you that came to the shower Josh's mom had for me and Josh. My mom kept me busy the whole weekend, doing all kinds of wedding stufff - which is fun to an extent and now I've just come to this point where I'm just ready for it to be here. Some details just dont matter all that much and all that really matters is that Josh and I are together. So my advice to all - A SHORT engagement.
Anyways, so I'm sittting here in our new office/desk chair. We are definately movnig up in the world. I decided to use a gift card we got to buy us a desk chair to use while we are at the computer. THis may not seem like a big deal except that we have been using an amp with a blanket over it to sit at the comptuter. This isnt that bad for someone of my size, but Josh's height poses quite a problem with that. And even more ironically - he was typing a power point for his keyboarding class the other night about ergonomics when typing. When I realized that, I decided to get us a new chair!!! So a washing maching and a desk chair - you can see I'm having fun spending money over here in NC. Hopefully one day I can actually buy something fun.
I hope that you are all doing well and we hope to see you all soon. Keep in touch.
Steph

A Special B'day and College Life
August 31 2005
First off, it's Garrett's birthday! Be sure to wish him a happy one!
So yesterday, Theatre Appreciation was good, Understanding Mass Media absolutely rocked, and English was fine.
Dr. Spires teaches my UMM class, and I love him almost as much as I love the class itself. Already, even just one day into it, I can tell that it's going to be my favorite. Right away, I felt very comfortable in there. The seating arrangement is in a U shape, which is a very good arrangement for a class with all the discussions we are going to have. We had to introduce ourselves to everyone, and it's the only class so far that I am totally comfortable speaking up in already.
I have a good English teacher, but I'm going to have to work hard. It sounds like she's going to expect a lot out of the papers we are writing, but she is going to give us a couple of chances to revise our stuff, so that's good. There was also a notice on the syllabus that some of the stuff we'll be reading about we probably won't be comfortable with, but I think I need to stick with it, because this is just another part of growing up. I can't live in a bubble forever.
Lab this morning was alright. We had to feel, smell, scratch rocks... ha ha... seriously! I never would have imagined! Anyhow, my teacher's nice, but I am concerned about our first test next Wednesday. We have to be able to identify rocks... and I could hardly identify them with the lab book in front of my face... much less from memory! I'm really hoping I don't fail...
Geology was good. I got there in plenty of time today, and Lindsey and I sat together in the second row.
Lastly, math. My teacher is VERY Russian, but thankfully he is not psychotic! I have to strain sometimes to understand him, but it's all good. He's pretty funny, and it's gonna be a real easy class. Like... insult my intelligence easy! We learned about scientific notation today. Whoo...

Bored in Web Page Design
August 31 2005
I'm so bored, I'm going crazy,
Sight once clear, now so hazy,
If I could I'd run away,
Seek the light,
For a brand new day.
Hoping all will then soon grow interest,
To the long lost sight,
To simply just living within in this...
Life, of which, we have no control,
Just losing sight of our only goal...

August 31 2005
So yesterday was my first full day of class and it was intense!!! I was on campus from 9am-4 and then again from 6-7. Usually I will be on campus from 9-9, but since it was the first day we lucked out and didn't stay the whole time. Anyway, so I was in my Special Topics: Relationships 101 class and the professor had us go around and say our name, year, and an inanimate object that described us in our relationships. Well all I could think of was a red bouncy ball... why you may ask? Well thats easy, I feel like I tend to be everywhere in my relationships with people. I am always bouncing around from topic to topic and all over the place with them, HOWEVER I do and can be all there, deep in the heart and that is my desire for my friendships. Anyway, yeah thats it. I'm a red bouncy ball, sometimes anyway :).
Tonight was our first meeing of Campus Outreach and I am so excited about all the changes that have been made and what God is and will be doing throughout the year. I just want people to know Jesus, intimately and passionately and I desperately want Christians to live out thier lives, moment by moment, in a way that will impact and count for the Kingdom of God because truly just like Louie said at 722 we are only entering heaven and bowing down at the feet of Jesus for the first time, one time and what are we going to have to bring to Him. I just want to give everything back to Jesus because He has given me more than enough. Praise Him.

College
August 31 2005
So far college is going great!! I had an essay due today in English. Umm I like living in the dorm because you dont have to stress out trying to find a parking spot. The showers are not made for tall people so I am learning new interesting ways to wash my hair. Most of my professors seem really cool. This semester should be a lot of fun!!

I got back to NY a few days ago. For those of you who didn't know, I was on vacation in TN, mostly spending time with family. I know I didn't see most of you, but God really laid on my heart that I had to make choices and that family should be a priority.
London was so great. Working on the streets was a little hard. Some people were really receptive and some weren't at all. But for me the encourager, not evangelist, I enjoyed most of all just encouraging the church in London. We plan on returning at least once a year, and I am really, really looking forward to going back.
So now all the staff are trickling back to the base here on Long Island. Things are going to be really different around here. A lot of the staff are moving off base into apartments, which means it's going to be really quiet. Most of the next couple of weeks will consist mostly of meetings and getting this office in really good condition. I really enjoy being the office manager, and I am still getting little ideas about how to keep the office fun. Several people are talking about going to New Orleans for disaster relief. We'll see.

Deja Vu

I figured with an 8:00 classes, I would end up sleeping through it sometime this semester... I just didn't expect it to be the third day of class. Not a good way to start the semester.
confusion
August 30 2005
I want to appologize to all that may read this. A lot has happened the past couple of weeks and I need to talk / vent / whatever you want to call it. If you don't read the rest of this I ask one thing, please pray for me and the other person this concerns. Thank you.
God, I want to ask your forgivness in all my wrong-doing's. I know they are many, please show them to me so that I may work my hardest to fix them and make them right. Please protect me and my family, keep us safe, and continue to hold us in your hand. Help us to see you in each other and what we do.
Dad, I am torn. I asked you to break me and show me your will. I gave my life, my whole life to you. I know I tend to take it back and try to do it my way, but I am tired. So tired Dad. My soul is crying out, please hear me. Show me your will dear God, let me know what is right.
My heart is aching dear Lord. I don't know what to do! I keep thinking that surely you wouldn't have put this in my heart just to take it away. I have never felt so strongly before, surely this is your will and not just mine. You know my heart dear God, and what I long for. Let me know what you want of me and I will do it. Here am I, send me. Whatever you ask, I will do. There is so much in my mind, I can't even think straight. Why me? Why him? What do you want of us? Please let us know!!
Dear Lord, we talk about you, that is new for me. I haven't been able to do that before. I am not scared, but as I say that fear come into my heart. Why do I not trust, why am I so scared to show my feelings? Make the devil go away, make him stop doing that to me. He doesn't want me to be happy, but you do..don't you? You want what's best, for us both...even if it's not each other. You are an awesome/powerful God that controls the wildest storms, even of the heart, yet you speak to me in the quietest whisper. You give me peace where there is none. You comfort me in my sadness and turmoil. You give me strength and lift me up when I can no longer hold up my head.
Mend my heart dear Lord, show us your will. Keep your promise to us, though we may not know what it is yet. Love us and show us to love, unconditionally. Give us peace and the right words to say. Hug us dear Lord, tightly. Let us know you are there. Center us around you and speak to us, even if it is as soft as a whisper. Help us keep you first.
Help him to know how much I care, and that even in this short amount of time he has won my heart. Help us not to be scared / frightened / or afraid. Help us to trust and have faith. We are impatient people dear Lord, and for some unknown reason to us you have chosen us to be apart for a time. Help us to understand, give us courage and strength. This is so hard, for both of us. Harder than most people understand, but you know don't you dad? You have always known. This is all part of your plan for us isn't it? This is what you brought us here for? Why we were created? To honor and glorify you? To bring us closer to you? To help us grow in you and learn to trust? To show our faith? You work in mysterious and great ways and I am so sorry it took so long for me to understand. I still don't understand the whole thing, but thank you for showing me a small portion. Why did I ever doubt? I am a foolish/fragile human being with a weak mind and spirit. Please repair me, mend my breaking heart, be with us on our journey and let us see you in each others heart's. Give us comfort and peace and keep us in your will. Give us the strength to stay strong and the love to wait.
I love you with all my aching heart, mind, body, soul. Don't ever let me go!! Hold me tight!! Open my eye's so that I may see, my ear's so that I may hear, and my heart so that I may love, feel, and understand. Thank you for your patience with such an unworthy child. Now I truely know what love is and how strong it flows.
your loving yet unworthy daughter,
~ashley
"Distances" (by me)
I really need to talk to you,
to see your smiling face.
Hear the words flow from your heart,
be caught in you embrace.
Though distances are hard to bear,
and sometimes I'm confused.
I know deep down you really care,
and I don't feel misused.
The truth is this (though not complete),
that all is in God's hands.
For if we overcome this feat,
We'll join across the lands.
Keep God first and all is well,
the love we share will grow.
Cause if you don't it will be Hell,
and God will always know.

You work in mysterious and great ways and I am so sorry it took so long for me to understand. I still don't understand the whole thing, but thank you for showing me a small portion. Why did I ever doubt? I am a foolish/fragile human being with a weak mind and spirit. Please repair me, mend my breaking heart, be with us on our journey and let us see you in each others heart's. Give us comfort and peace and keep us in your will. Give us the strength to stay strong and the love to wait.
I love you with all my aching heart, mind, body, soul. Don't ever let me go!! Hold me tight!! Open my eye's so that I may see, my ear's so that I may hear, and my heart so that I may love, feel, and understand. Thank you for your patience with such an unworthy child. Now I truely know what love is and how strong it flows.
your loving yet unworthy daughter,
~ashley
"Distances" (by me)
I really need to talk to you,
to see your smiling face.
Hear the words flow from your heart,
be caught in you embrace.
Though distances are hard to bear,
and sometimes I'm confused.
I know deep down you really care,
and I don't feel misused.
The truth is this (though not complete),
that all is in God's hands.
For if we overcome this feat,
We'll join across the lands.
Keep God first and all is well,
the love we share will grow.
Cause if you don't it will be Hell,
and God will always know.

my class bling
August 30 2005
Here is my lovely class bling. It costs entirely too much money. I'm probably going to wind up losing it or thinking that it wasn't worth the bother. But oh well.

credit card convicts, spray-on primer, and the dollar menu.
August 30 2005
so, tonight, i went to help Kelsey and BJ remodel the youth room. for one thing, we didn't get freaking anything done. i'm sure BJ is still there working his bum off...how sad...i had to leave...i had to finish my homework...poo. but anyways, it pretty much amounted to Kelsey and I going to Lowe's for wood, spray paint, and other random stuff. and then we went to target for rope lights, but for some reason, they don't have any...retards...nayways, we then proceeded to wendy's to order off the dollar menu, because we had a combined 6 whopping dollars. then, once we finally got back, BJ accidentally peeled off a bunch of the paint on the metal thingies, so he sent us off to Wal-Mart for spray-on primer with his credit card. kelsey and i weighed the pros and cons of credit card fraud and buying a box of chicken, a blow-dryer, and a box of chocolates, and then decided not to. all in all, i would consider it a pretty good night.

Sometimes you just feel like you've taken a hit to the gut. Or elbowed in the solar plexus. One.
On the plus side, my French class went quite well [despite being late -- at least I wasn't the latest person there -- ha!] We're reading the first written fairytales, penned at the court of Louis XIV. These are not your Disney classics. For instance, there IS no kindly woodcutter who ambles in at the exact convenient moment to save Little Red Riding Hood. Instead, she becomes Hors D'Oeuvre No. 2.
I'm afraid of what he did to Sleeping Beauty [or, La Belle au Bois Dormant]. Things could get ugly. As many of you know, I have an all-consuming fondness for the story, ballet, and movie.
Still feeling slightly mugged. Hopefully, it'll pass.
I need music.
And a hug.
Someone to love would be nice while we're at it.

Craigslist Turns into Missing Billboard
August 30 2005
Craigslist.com has been notorious for helping people find great apartments and jobs for years, but now it is being used for a new purpose. In lew of what has happened in New Orleans, the lost and found section on Craigslist is now being used by friends and family members to post information about missing people in hopes of reconnecting with loved ones.
This is the first time that I can think of where a service on the internet has been used to help locate friends and family after a natural disaster. Who said technology was bad?

Statistics
August 30 2005
Had our first statistics class today. Hopefully Regression is easier than ANOVA. I am so lazy. :) It was like a little reunion though. Justin, Angelo, Courtland, and Laban are in class with me and Sir Charles. All we need is Bethany and Stayc *cries*. And Amelia, to say things that make us smile...
Bethany, we need to do lunch. Let's make it happen. :)
I am happy. Tomorrow is Charles's birthday and I am making a cake. Well, the cake is baked and cooling now. I am waiting to ice it before bed. Then tomorrow there shall be cake!!
Things in life are good. I get down sometimes, but not because of anything or anyone. More like I wish I were a better person. Thinner. Smarter. More organized. A better wife. A better Christian. A better person all around. But despite my dissatisfactions with my self, all is well in my own little world.
If only things were this good everywhere.

college is cool
August 30 2005
college is cool. just like high school except you are going with 23000 people instead of 2000. i only have one person out five classes that i know. each class has an average of 50 people. its not so bad. guess that means that i'll have more friends. the teachers are nice. they dont seem hard. i just do what they tell me to do. by the way, i have to keep a 3.8 GPA so that i can get into a school for the air force. i believe that i can do it. you may not see me as much because i am studying, but i think its within my means. i guess thats all i have. dueces

Well, one of the first things I've done since returning to Charlotte was get a cat...well, actually it turned out to be 2 cats, sisters named Zoe (the black, explorer, wild one & my lap kitty) and Lily (gray, delicate one). They are so cute and I've enjoyed having them so far. And I am definitely glad to have some companions during this time.

School Update!!
August 30 2005
Well I'm not hating MTSU as much anymore....I'm getting use to it...For the past couple days I have acted like a complete idiot!! LONG STORY!! Typical Freshmen I guess...The weather needs to get better!! My favorite class is University 1010...I know its a crap class but I love Mrs. Avent and the people in there. Oh I tested out of some of my remedial classes!! Now I have REAL classes!! Sweet!! Um nothing has been happening lately...My life is this: School, Work, Dance, Church, Dance, more work, and Church...nothing else. My life is so boring...maybe someone can change that?

*so today i realized what an awesome brother i have. i mean... niether of us are perfect... and we usually fight allot (which we haven't done so much this summer for some strange reason)... but my goodness. i just realized how much my brother looks after me and takes care of me. today he gave me some of his notes from freshman theory... he's going to lend me one of his hoodies since i can't take my favorite UofM hoodie... and he's going to help me plan my schedual. it's just little stuff like that. i know that God is really working in him. i can see it. i hope that senior year is a good year for him. i really do. anyways... just thought i'd say that. hehe. just don't tell him that i said any of this ;) ~Hope

August 30 2005
Well, we survived. The whole town went without electicity for 16 hours, then some got it back. I am in the one district lucky enough to now have electicity. The rest of the town is still without. We had two trees in out yard fall, LOTS of limbs, and minimal flooding. We sustained very little damage compared to the rest of the town and state. MC (my college) has been out of school the past two days and no school tomorrow. My brother and his friends are going around to each others houses and helping with the trees and limbs. They just left ours and are headed to another. We were lucky, but others weren't. Please continue to pray for those, that God will show His glory and something good will come of this. I pray for each of you and your families. God Bless you and keep you.

.man life has been very depressing lately so i feel like writing another poem lol.
why cant we move on
and forget everything about our past?
why does it hurt whenever i see you?
why cant we go back to when you and i were friends?
when you could come over and we would watch movies.
or when we would talk on the phone all nite.
but why when you tell someone you love them but they dont love you back it hurts sooo bad.
k done with that...
much love

August 30 2005
Hey Everyone~
Wow its been a while since I have last updated and ALOT has happen. I guess sometimes growing up isnt as much fun as we want that bc with it becomes alot more choices and things we cant control.(Not that we are ever in control God is just sayin.)I recently learned that God is going to bring people into our lifes and you may be friends with them for a reason ,season ,or a lifetime and sometimes they may be gone for a while and then come back again if thats how God wants it.I guess my reason IN saying this is that sometimes we get so caught up in letting others take the place of God and run to them with our problems instead of God when all along God wants us running to him with our problems befor ANYONE or ANYTHING,he loves us uncondtionally and loves spending time with us. Next I gotten caught up in believing the lies that the devil has been telling me and so its been frasutening and wearing me down,well anyways back to hitting the book wow dont u just love college? I love yall thanks for the comments and prayers they mean so much to me~ HaLeY

nothing bad happened at my house...::counting blessings::...so, life is aight these days. 3 cheers for a day with no choir! j/k. i got the solo! thankfully i don't have to wear a prom dress this time...hardy har. instead i get to be extremely white, and sing part of Oh Happy Day....ha. nayways, school yesterday was pretty good. Nick sounds like a Mexican in Spanish. Kinda like the guys on the Mexican channel. nayways, um...i had an extra day to do my ever so comprehensive history worksheet, and all of my algebra. i guess i'll just be a nerd and do homework all day...but also, i rented Final Destination last night. i hope it's good. i can't believe all these movies i've never seen...so i actually started doing my quiet time again... but God's been gving me all these verses about wisdom, knowledge, and leadership...hmmm...i wonder...so, this is something that's been weighing on my mind lately. we were watching this video in Biology, and it was about the worldwide overpopulation problem. so like, there was a lot of scenes of dead/dying children, illegal abortion, and things like that. and i've always thought that it would be wrong to go overseas and pass out birth control, but that video really made me think. now granted, it was plenty biased, and i recognize that, so i'm not being blindly led into new opinions. i still oppose abortion, too. but i just can't find anything in the bible that says that birth control (preventative) is unacceptable...and i got a lot of flack from certain people for saying so...so, any thoughts? if someone knows of or finds anything about it in the Bible, let me know...i dunno why random stuff like this bothers me, but it does..who knows...

Changes
August 30 2005
I think I'm finally starting to be okay. A lot of it had to do with the events of yesterday. I guess I'm realizing that he's not the person he used to be. And this new person that he is doesn't really give me butterflies like the old one. Yesterday was the first time I'd really talked to him in almost a month, and for the first time in that month, I really was okay. The things he said to me, the horrible things he said at work the other night about me, the person he's become, made me just want to completely forget everything between us. Yeah, I still love him, but the person I love isn't there anymore. And suddenly, I'm okay without him. For the first time in over three years, I don't want to be with him. And it's a good feeling. Maybe one day he and I will be together again, but that is completely up to God, not me.
On a different note, I'm "talking" to someone. lol Man I hate that term! :) He's a political science major at MTSU. I'm taking it *really* slow, but he seems really sweet. So we'll see what happens!

right now I'm not really seeing why we got out of school, but we did and that is a free day for us so that's always good
Just So You Know...
August 30 2005
Ok, obviously I was misinterpruted by several people yesterday. I didn't mean that my honors classes were my interesting classes because they were honors, I meant they were my interesting classes because those were the classes I was interested in. Because these are classes I am interested in, I was willing to sign up for honors. I am not interested in geology and math because they are geology and math, not because they are not honors. I am not like that. And I'm not dropping Math 1010, and even though I think rocks are boring I have a good geology teacher and Lindsey's in that class with me. Yesterday was just overwhelming for me. I was late to geology, and I hate being late, and the class is pretty large... probably about 80 people, and it's pretty intimidating to walk into a class like that on your first day of college late and have to stand in the back of the room.
Anyhow, I just wanted to clear that up.
So I am currently in the MTSU library with Ashley Orman. We ran into each other and discovered that neither one of us have another class until 11:20, so why don't we hang out? We're having fun. My theatre appreciation class was great this morning. Dr. Hansen seems so nice and awesome, and I think I'm really going to enjoy his class and do well. I met two girls from my class afterwards and they were both really nice. One of them was from North Carolina and she's majoring in RIM. My next class is Understanding Mass Media, which is the class I am probably the most excited about, and then English. Today is much better... but I think MWF will be ok too. As Graham told me yesterday, a lot of it is about attitude.

So I wake up and go downstairs, what do I see??? I see some really tall guy measuring the utility room and another more petite guy moving some crap into the family room. Me being unaware of my surrondings was like what is this mess?!?! Then I remember that we are getting our kitchen and utility room tiled.

College Day 1
August 30 2005
Yesterday was my first day of college. I already have some pretty lengthy work for some of them, but I guess I need to stop being a baby about it! LOL! It's kind of crazy to think that I am now in a new chapter of my life, but I know that it only gets better from here. God truly does have an amazing plan for me, and to be a part of that is exciting! Okay, so the good thing about college is you make your own schedule. I'm done with school everyday by 11:15! Pretty awesome! Today, I have class until 11:05, and then I'm going to work out in this hurricane! LOL! Alpha Omega is getting underway which is pretty awesome! I look forward to the beginning of that as well! A lot of friends have already split, and gone all over the place. I still have some of my close friends here in Murfreesboro which is a plus. Amber leaves for YWAM in 4 weeks which is crazy, but you guys keep her in your prayers as she travels. God is going to blow her away, and I can't help but look forward to the time she has with just God! Pretty awesome! Also pray for all of the hurricane victims, and that God will show up and become obvious in their lives. Everything does happen for a reason, and sometimes we focus too much on the negative. Well guys...I gotta go to class so I hope that all of you youth have an awesome day off, and you guys take it easy today! I love all of you very much!
a few random thoughts
August 29 2005
when you are using a gas stove, make sure it lites when you turn it on. cuz just letting the gas run will cause the place to stink up. just thought i'd share a bit of wisdom.
it was great to be back at work today. walked about 4 miles or so. went shopping for a dance pad for the ps2 we are getting...for a little ddr competition. finally figured out my finances. it only took three months to do so.
i'm kinda missing school...in a way...but not really. it was the first day of classes in the bubble. do i miss the bubble? absolutely not! will the majority of the samfordites ever break outta the bubble? i'm gonna be pessimistic and say i doubt it. but hey, God can still work in the bubble just like God works outside of the bubble. just gotta get it all into perspective, i guess.
oh, regarding my previous comment about who i would murder and why...pat robertson apologized for his statement about assassinating the venazualan president. so i should probably do the same for my statement about robertson and falwell. i don't wish them death even though sometimes (most of the time) i don't agree with how they try to intertwine faith and politics. they live under the same grace that i do, which allows us to be able to live despite making mistakes. shoot, if someone had murdered me the first time i was a horrible representative of Christ, i would've been dead a long time ago. isn't God's grace amazing?

. . . today. Wow.
I woke up with an indescribable feeling of nervousness, but I quickly prayed to be calmed, and God worked through it. I got dressed, drove to the Bell Street parking lot, and walked in with Savannah, Crystal, and their friend Tim. My first class is English; Savannah and I sat front row and center for that one, haha. I got turned around on the 2nd floor of the BAS before finding my way out the correct way and seeing Garrett, Graham and Amy on my way. My next class is Understanding Mass Media, where the class count is about 300. It's not something I'm too terribly fond of, but oh well, it's college. Aron Ralston spoke to us once again, only this time, he talked about how the media worked throughout his story and such. After UMM, I made my longest walk to KOM where I walked into my class, Computer Science Orientation, and about paniced because all I saw was guys, and it was just a little awkward, lol. Other girls started coming in so it evened out the ratio a little more, haha. Our teacher let us go 30 minutes early, and I was done!
After school, Mom and I went to Suntrust to get this mess straightened out with my account, and now everything should be fine. We at at KFC for lunch before I left for work.
Once work was over, I headed over to the Christian Student Center where RFC meets for the "picnic"/devo. It was so cool, and the singing was really really good.
. . . tired.

2 Timothy 1:7- for God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self -discipline............
I just got home from my weekly bible study and I have not been more fired up to share the gospel ever in my entire life. God has shown me that it does not matter what people think of me and God has shown me that me keeping my mouth shut about him has been a waste of him in me... I have done nothing for Jesus nothing.... but its time for a change its time for a new beginning its time for a charge.... My fellow christians that walk the halls of siegel high and oakland and blackman and riverdale and any others we have been giving a charge to share jesus christ with everyone....... and if you have noticed we are in a battle... a battle in which we are losing bad!!!!!!!!! WE ARE LOSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do you not care that we are losing, people are gonna go to HELL!!!!!!!! do you not understand. At your complacency you are letting one after another soul slip away... I am just as guilty as all of you and I hate myself because of it but guess what this is a time for change this is a time for a new year... My junior year actually starts Wednesday because john barron is not gonna be john barron he is gonna be like christ and glory to JESUS because of it I am in tears at the complacency i have shown over my 2 years of highschool. I have done nothing to further Gods kingdom NOTHING!!!!!!!!! All I can say is With JESUS in me and his help I am changing.. I am broken right now before you and GOd. I will no longer be idle. No longer will I fear man or what he can do because all that matters is what God thinks of me and it has taken me a long time to figure that out..... Guys we have to change... we have gotta be diffrent we have gotta pray and pray and pray that we will be lights and not ligts with a blanket over them... Praise God if you are already sharing jesus and making him known...but if your not I encourage you to take a stand for christ I am gonna try no I can't do it on my own but "If christ is on my side who can stand agaisnt me" what a verse.... I hope this challenges you and if you want to talk to me then please do because I need to be held accountable to what I am writing I love you all and pray that we will live for christ and share him throughout our schools....
IN CHRIST john

Well, had my MWF classes today, college is not bad. My first impression of college, my Math teacher was late. He wore jeans and a t-shirt that read "I do all my own stunts." He went to the bathroom when he got to class, and he dismissed us at 8:20.
Macroeconomics was ok, but I'll have to work a little at it. And Physical Science may not be easy, but college is not supposed to be easy, you just suck it up and take it sometimes.
I then worked a 7 hour shift, that sucked bigtime, and now I'm home waiting for supper.
I hate the sound of vacum cleaners late in the evening.
Why do we tip the pizza man, but not the UPS man?

We are out of school tomorrow and i am so happy. But it kinda makes me think that this is gonna be a pretty bad storm because we hardly ever get out of school when it snows. So having school called off in August is very odd. And kinda scary. The hurricane is huge! I didn't realize that it is that big till this morning.Well...i am happy!
