Memories of intimacy

July 26 2005
So I'm back here in humid Tennessee! God has blown me away with his presence. I think if I just flat out shared with you everything he did, it would take me so long! Also, what God did in my heart is going to stay inside so that he can grow me into the person he wants me to be. Don't get me wrong, His works will be shared, but only to an extent. The experiences I had were specifically for me, and I love that about our Dad. He gives us all intimate moments, and for me, this is just the beginning of an eternal walk with God. He deserves my all. Check out this song...God gave me this song on the beach when I was talking to Him. God...I won't forget the eternal list of experiences you gave me. I made so many friends, and I can't wait to be worshipping you with them forever! I love you, and this is only the beginning of you and me. You know that...

Take my heart, I Lay it down
At the feet of you whose crowned
Take my life, I’m letting go
I lift it upto You who’s throned

And I will worship You, Lord
Only You, Lord
And I will bow down before You
Only You Lord

Take my fret, take my fear
All I have, I’m leaving here
Be all my hopes, be all my dreams
Be all my delights, be my everything

And It’s just you and me here now
Only you and me here now

You should see the view
When it’s only You

GOD MAY THIS BE MY DAILY CRY TO YOU. FOR YOU ARE WORTH EVERY OUNCE OF ME, AND I ONLY HOPE I CAN PAY YOU BACK IN A VERY SMALL SENSE!

I'm back!!!!!!

July 26 2005
We got back yesterday from Florida at like 7 I think.........I don't know if I have a best friend as of right now which really sucks but you know........everything happens for a reason.....supposedly.........or how ever you spell it!!!

The fangs of remore tore my bosom and would not forgo their hold...

July 26 2005
practice tonight......plus a lame cookout.

again, i'm trying to muster up a ' woot ' but it's just not happening lol.

I can't go to DCI, because I have to work. But it's not a big deal, I wasn't that pumped about going anyway.

I'm about 1/3 done with Frankenstein, So that's 1 1/3 books out of 3 done so far. Haven't even started on my calc summer work. Well, there's always the old standby, "It'll get done.....eventually." The story of my life.

Maybe I should try to start off on the right foot my senior year. I'm going to go work on my calc.

wow that was a really boring entry. sorry.

bye

Funny things...

-Someday your prince will come. Mine got lost, took a wrong turn, and is to stubborn to ask for directions.
-A nuclear war can ruin your whole day.
-Why be normal?
-If it doesn't fit, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacement anyway.
-We have enough youth, how about a fountain of SMART?
-Just because your paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
-Doctors say I have multiple personality, but we don't agree with that.

I have decided that most people create mountains out of mole hills with the crap in there life. I mean sure, crap happens, but guess what? You woke up today, and could get out of bed, you could feed yourself, dress yourself, and walk to the bathroom. People just dont understand that just being alive is a blessing, You have to remember that and smile, cuz you know the world isnt that bad. {unless you choose to see it that way}

Just something to think about, and I know that I take things forgranted everyday, so it's a reminder to me as well.

discovery

July 26 2005
wow, i really admire the courage and bravery of the astronauts that are heading into space today. this launch has seemed to be plagued with setbacks. i am not sure i would have the courage to "stay the course." let's not forget to pray for these exceptional men and women, and the families they leave on the ground. God bless you, crew of Discovery!

Well. . .

July 26 2005
So, it's official. I'm getting a new(er) car in the near future. I really want a Honda CR-V, and my parents will go along with it as long as we find one at a good deal. The catch to all of this is that I have to pay for half. . . but oh well. 'Bout time I started pulling some of my own weight.

I watched Finding Neverland last night and cried. It was beautiful; I don't know when I cried like that over a movie last. Now I really want to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore are a great duo.

Nothing else is really going on. Friends are either scattered on the days I'm off, or I'm at work, so it's hard to hang out now. Lol, at least I have money for when we do hang out.

maxie poo, kickboxing, && sushi

How Can I Help You To Say Goodbye?

July 25 2005
I don't really understand.

How you can fall in love then feel no emotion at all.

I really don't want to get over this.

Because I feel like I caused it.

i took my dad to church on sunday in bandera, tx... my birth-home, and most of the family's hometown [pop. like... 300]. his sister was there with my cousin, and people from my moms side of the family including my grandmother and grandfather and various others... plus some of my mom's old friends who'd 'heard all about us'. my aunt, uncle, and cousin philip lead the worship and are INCREDIBLE at it. every time they astound me. occasionally reduce me to tears.

but on to the point of this whole thing...
my dad hadn't been to a church in 25 years.
i don't know how i did it.

so how's everyone else doing?

hm, i don't know, i just don't know. i uh yeah.....

An Excerpt From The Island:

July 25 2005

OH, JESUS MUST LOVE YOU!

THAT WAS THE CRAZIEST MESS I'VE EVER SEEN!

COME ON, GIRL! I
KNOW JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

Oh my word... *cries*

Don't belive the reviews. That movie is amazing. I saw in movie news that The Island bombed it's opening weekend and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory dominated again.

Trust me, this movie kicks Charlie's ass to the curb of next wednesday. And that's coming from a Burton / Depp fan. Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johanson (did I spell her name right?) were absolutely fantastic.

I was pleasantly surprised - it was a LOT better than I thought it would be. And I was UNpleasantly surprised by the fact that it was 2.5 hours long... but that was only a problem because I had to pee... real bad.

Know what else made my day? Eating lunch with Jordan at Far East. Seeing Michael and Jamie and Carlton at the mall. Helping Jordan find John Lennon sunglasses at Target to match his new beard. Hanging with Cassie during the movie and afterwards at Logan's and after that at Eckerds [Tipton was working so we went to harrass him - that made my day too], and after that just cruising around town.

Sooo... pretty sure today was just a big bouncy ball of awesomeness. ^_^

Ciao, my darlings.

::edit::
And of course... I added a whole bunch of photos. Most of them are in fact, comic strips from my favorite webistes or LiveJournal icons. This would be because Sarah has no digital camera or scanner so she puts up crap that no one wants to see just so she can feel like she's not a total loser. :p Comment on them anyways!

Burn For You

July 25 2005
I'm a brand new man. I'm a conscious man. I'm a man who's burnin'for you
The mistakes I've made have been chased away to the bottom of the ocean blue.
I'm a brand new man in a foreign land.I'm a man who's feelin'that fire.
And it's all so clear when I'm standing here at the peak of my desire.
So wont you move me like you used to.I want the world to know I burn for you.

This song is TIIIIIGHT. It pretty much describes the way that we feel when Jesus fills us back up and re-charges us with his holy spirit. I love it.

And now...for some random facts

More Monopoly money is printed yearly than real money throughout the world.

Penguins are not found in the North Pole
People photocopying their buttocks are the cause of 23% of all photocopier errors worldwide.

Rambling Questions

July 25 2005
I am going to ramble about something that I've been thinking about. You might think I'm weird or even gross for thinking this, but I don't care. So I have been wondering if sex before marriage is as bad as society makes it out to be. Sometimes I really don't think it is, but you don't really I suppose till after you do it. Right now I feel it isn't as bad, but my opinion could change if I would (not saying I will). I guess we don't know till after you experience it.

i'm tiredddddd

Band is approaching slowly but surely...

July 25 2005
This last week before band is gonna be the last week i have a life for a long time and it's going to be very jam packed because i am a major procrastinator.

I am not going to have a life except for band...and while it sounds like that sucks...I CAN'T WAIT! I am messed up i know, but everyone else in band/guard knows what i am talking about lol. Colorguard is going to be amazing this year...i can't wait!

[chels]

*edit*
It was sooo much fun getting to see everyone last night!!! I missed all my band friends!! My life is slowly but surely about to be handed over to the band...bring it on.

*edit 2*
All of my Fahrenheit crap is FINISHED! Now i just gotta read the cliff notes for silas marner and write THAT paper...what joy.

The Great Gatsby.....

July 25 2005
Doesn't suckall that much.
I know, I was surprised too. But then again, I liked My Antonia, so there are many who disagree with my position on literature.

Hey, hey! Guess what?! I want sime shrimp.
I was reading The Notebook earlier and Noah was cooking Allie crab, which sparked an odd seafood craving.

I'm only 70 pages into the book and already I'm like, "JUST STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND MARRY THE GUY!!!".

But, sadly, they cannot hear me. They're too busy being completely silly about their love lives and denying themselves every good thing that ever exsisted.

And I am off to do the exact opposite. Maybe go see The Island. Yeaaaaa. That looks really good, don't you think?

Hello Again

July 25 2005
Hello everyone, I am back on phusebox. Told you I would post every now and then before I get to school. I find that lately *cough*withinthepastquiteafewmonths*cough* I know nothing about my friends because I only see them at church and the only time they talk about the important stuff is online. It's kinda annoying. Oh, well. Not Y'alls fault, but my own. Though it would still be nice to be able to know what is going on in the lives of those friends I hold so dear to me. If you guys ever feel like talkin' about somethin' or sharing what's going on in your lives, you know you can give me a call, right? Of course, that prolly won't work. Even I don't like to randomly call people up, and that's the only way I ever hafe contact with other humans. Of course, you know I'm just giving you guys a hard time, right? It's funny, but I think I will probbably know more about what is going on in your lives while I'm off at college, just because I will be able to get online. That makes me laugh. Anyway, seriously though, if any of you guys ever want to talk you can give me a call, I'm always here for you. Or, y'know, you could send me an E-mail. That would be nice too. Anyway, enough of that. I hope you guys all have a good day, and as for what's going on in my life, it's all coming down to just getting used to the idea of leaving everyone and everything I know behind to venture to a strange place in what is known as the outskirts of nowhere. But hey, a little prayer and a lot of faith, and I'll be fine. Anyway, thanks for listening to me rant. I'll be sure to get on in a little while. Just want you guys to know that I love every last one of you. See you guys later.

Love In Christ,
Zach

" God gave us memories that we might have roses in December. " -James M. Barrie

" Normal day, Let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, savour you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it will not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face into the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky, and want, more than all the world, your return. " -Mary Jean Irion"

Whats today again?

July 25 2005
*oh yeah* now i remember. Today is pain day at the dentist! and it's only like 15 more days until my birthday!! *yeah baby* Well our church is making some big changes on teh youth side, it urks me but after a while i think it's do-able. I think in the long run the changes might help the church, or at least the youth side. Big church though (were all the "adults" go) i don't think they're gonna like the new changes. They're supposed to change our 11a.m. service to a more contemporary style but the guy who does the music, is pretty much not bent on the change. My friend tried out to play over there and she said the music is exactly the same just alittle more upbeat. Ugg... the evil music director completly dissed our music on the youth side, because what we play David Crowder, Lifehouse, and other cool bands songs? It wouldn't be so bad if all we played were songs written by other artists, but Aric (the music minister) wrote some of those songs and they are really good and reach alot of people. This guy needs to roll with the times alittle bit... I feel better now that i've said all that. I really need to talk to my youth minister about all of this. I'm alittle worried that some of our youth group will stop coming on Sundays and that our youth side will slowly go buh bye. I need to go eat so adios.

"In the lone hour of my sorrow
Through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me and sustain me
My defender, forevermore." --Tim Hughes


I am so unworthy. Time and time again, I will fail Christ. He gives and pours into and nurtures me, I pay with disobedience, He still loves.

Over the last several months, my spiritual growth has been awesome. But, amazingly enough, I seem to be hit the hardest when I'm at my highest. However, His mercy, forgiveness, and love are boundless. Through everything, He still loves and protects. I can't stop praising Him for what He has done.

Create in my a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. --Psalm 51:10

I just remembered, that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rode down, aisle 5
you looked behind you to smile back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave.

Can't remember, what went wrong last September
Though I'm sure that you'd remind me, if you had to

Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in

I sleep with this new girl i'm still getting used to
my friends all approve, say she's gonna be good for you
they throw me, high fives

She says the bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
your mouth was, so dirty

Life of the party
and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish
Miles from Coltrane

Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in
she's perfect, so flawless
or so they say, say

She thinks I can't see the smile that she's fakin'
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
grey sweat pants, no makeup, so perfect

Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in
she's perfect, so flawless
I'm not impressed, I want you back.

you know where to find me

July 24 2005
I saw your sky fall down today
Suddenly turn from blue to gray
Till one by one the raindrops
Turned to tears upon your face
Wish there was something I could do
Wish I could ease the pain from you
But I've never felt so helpless
It's like you're drowning right in front of me
And I'm reaching out but you can't see
There's something holding on to you so tight
So I guess this is all I'll say to you tonight

If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you, I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side

If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If you're in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the why's
'Cause your to tired to reach that high
I want you to remember yeah, yeah

My Super Duper Busy Life

July 24 2005
Lets see...update on my life..worked all weekend and prolly about to start another job so i'll be working two in like two weeks....its gonna be all good tho....For everyone who is curious and keeps asking *hu hum* is Nic... Meagan got to meet him tonight and she liked him....so thats really good.... me and him got to have a serious talk tonight too for a few mins and i'm so glad we did....i'm so glad hes honest bc thats one thing i ABSOLUTELY cannot deal with, is if a guy isnt honest and upfront with me about everything....I mean like how in the heck is a relationship of ANY kind especially with the opposite sex supposed to work if honesty isnt there??? ummm DUH...IT CANT!!!!!

then me and meag were talking when we were on our way to DJ's house...havent seen him in like 3 yrs so that was fun! gosh how i miss him and all his sarcastic remarks... anyways me and meag were talking and we both just really need a guy that will tell us NO. I mean like we're so use to being spoiled bc i honestly have been my entire life and i'm so use to gettin everything i want all the time that i really need someone who will tell me no....who is like no we're gonna do what i wanna do tonight..ya know just the lil things like that...and i also have so much more respect for a guy who will tell me no than a guy who jus does whatever i want to make me happy... bc it makes me like oh my gosh, he really cares about me bc hes not lettin me walk all over him and i dont have him whipped so i actually have to put some effort and work into this relationship to make it work...

so yeah i absolutely cannot wait until im off work tomorrow night when me and meag and dj and his friend blake are gonna go hot tubbin and jus chill all night then spend the night at memes..well me and meag, dj and blake will stay at djs.....

also going to lunch with katie tomorrow...so psyched about that...FINALLY!!!! its been so long since we've been trying for this and its finally gonna happen!!! YAY!!!!

craziest weekend of my life

Those people in that picture there are the most amazing people I have ever met. Thats my youth group, from a year and a half ago. We have doubled in size since then so thats a blessing but its still the same centered loving Crazy for Christ group. I have defintiely struggled in life and made some pretty big mistakes but all of that is gone now. I had the most life changing weekend ever. God was at work in my heart before I ever went and all weekend I had kinda been toying with the idea of being a youth minister but I wasnt sure if it was right for me so I just really prayed about it all weekend. And then Saturday night during adoration. The holy spirit filled my body and I was apparently unconcious cause I was laying on the ground, and God was there and he was talking to me and telling me that I needed to follow him and devote my life to him and reach people like myself. And that he loved me and that I could do this, and to just say yes. Next thing I know, I "woke up" and just started prayin about it... and one of the leaders from my church came over to me and whispered in my ear "God told me to tell you to just say yes." ... thats when I knew... So this new change in my life is definitely going to be a difficult road considering my past and the people I have surrounded myself with, but I know God will provide for me...

She doesn't know how to feel.

She doesn't know if it's over or if he's still holding on.

How she wishes he will hold on.

July 24 2005
I have emerged from the familial gathering unharmed, if not neccessarily unscathed.

Long story short: Within five minutes of arriving, one of the older attendees was asking me if I had mono. No. Then if I had a boyfriend. Again, no -- too busy. At which point I was informed that girls were never too busy for boyfriends. Ah, yes, this is where I excuse myself before I start touting feministic ideas.

*Blinks*

So today was all right. I might wind up being a gopher in a law firm in exchange for observation [and might even get some cash, but I neither set much stock by it nor care -- no, really]! Mum got a little bit psychotic, I guess you could say. The kind where nobody does anything correctly, even if they're not doing anything at all [which is the highest crime]. So I sought refuge at Leland's, where we watched Cellular. It was a pretty good film. A few instances were quite reminiscent of L.A. Confidential, particularly toward the end. This was followed by some of the more amusing snippets of The Patriot. "Here are your captive officers, sir." Haaaaa! Alas, right after that lovely line, it was time to leave, for my cousin turned 20 today, which is really surreal. I feel.... Old....-er. Go figure.

And Dad's switching off the light, which means I have to log off so that he can sleep.

Good night, all!

summers almost gone!

July 24 2005

July 24 2005
So today was like an all around bad day! I hate these kinds of days, its like nothing can go right...like when Charlie Brown walks around with the big thunder cloud over his head! This weekend was ok. I had fun Friday night But Saturday was not so good and today wasnt good at all! But hopefully things will get better...

There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more


But on the upside.. I will be getting a Yorkie here in the next couple of months!! YAY!

*Amber's post reminded me of that... it's something that one of our CIT (camper in training) speakers said last year. and it's really stuck w/ me. any fool can snort and stomp and yell and demand respect... but a true man of strength is going to be more gentle... he's going to care about the people around him... he's going to protect the women... he's going to serve others above himself. and i'm so glad that i've gotten a chance to know some men like that. i consider that so attractive. i mean... i know some cute boys and whatnot... but i love to be around true men . that's who God created guys to be. and men like that don't have to demand respect... people just natuarally do. people natuarally follow a man like that. because they trust him. anyways... i know that's totally random...

*"And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me in the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none." -Ez. 22:30

**this passage just really sobers my thoughts because it just puzzles me... of all the men and women of God, He found no one. and it brakes my heart... a city was destroyed because no one had the guts to "stand in the gap" to tell everyone that destruction was ahead if they didn't repent and turn from their sin. and then it hits me... i haven't been standing in the gap either. i've prayed that God would help me be a light... and yeah... maybe i have a good reputation and testimony... but i really haven't told anyone that "hey, destruction's coming if you don't repent and turn to Christ" i think that sometimes i don't stress to myself enough tha hell is really real... i forget that if i don't tell the people around me (even some of my so called "friends"). and it brakes my heart.

Lord, i pray that you would change my heart. that i would stop thinking about me and fearing rejection... or not being willing to be "uncomfortable" inorder to tell others about your Holiness and Justice and Love. help me not to forget the consiquences of sin. help me to remember that you paid for my life and my eternity. help me to be passionate enough about that to open my mouth. God, save my friends... help my not to fear what they'll think of me... help them to see you through me. God, i want to stand in the gap. i want to blow the trumpet that danger is coming. God, once again... help my friends to know you... and find a deeper love than they've ever known. in Christ. amen

Haha, no one needs to know what the last post is about. If I wanted you to know then I would've said the situation I guess. Tomorrow freshman pre-camp starts and so I'll be out in Oakland's parking lot from 8-1. Woo hoo!!! I have to get to bed in like 3 hours. Ugh, I don't wanna get up early yet. Band camp means school is getting super close and I'm not done with half of my summer work yet! Hmm, I guess I should really get my priorities straight..
DCI Countdown...5 days!!!

A day in the Life

July 24 2005
So, Saturday my stepdad rescued a baby mockingbird that had fallen out of its nest. Not but about 2 minutes after this occured a hot air balloon suddenly appear'd over the trees hovering dangerously low to the giant oak trees of our yard. We took a few pictures, but unfortunately we ran out of film as it hit right above our house. I mean it was so low and so close that you could talk to the people. Crazy.
Later that day I went to town and bought some new Chuck Taylor's(aka converse shoes) from Hot Topic. I'm up to a size 13 D (equivilent to a hobbits foot)and that means you take what they got or go to another store, they only had green low tops and didnt hestiate to buy them( but I do like them, theyre greeeeeen after all). I also bought a Pixies CD and the great movie, Clerks.
:EDIT:
I wrote an acoustic song this weekend.( I had a stroke of genius) It sounds good to me.

Stanley the Turtle

July 24 2005
I have a funny story...Tammy, Leigh Ann, and I were going to the mall the other day and we almost ran over this turtle. So we drove back to make sure it was out of the road and safe. We had this great idea that we should keep it as a pet. Well we had it in our apartment for like a day and this morning when I went to church I put the top back on but not all the way so he could breath. Well that seemed logical at the time but when we got back from church Stanley was gone!!! We haven't found him yet but we are scared he went off and is going to get stuck somewhere and die. I had grown rather fond of that turtle so I am praying we find him in time. This afternoon we had like 6 people in our apt. looking for this little turtle it was really funny.

Tomarrow I am doing construction work and me and ally get to work on a crack house in the inner city. That will be so much fun...I can't wait. Pray for opportunities and safety.

See all of you in a few days.
