I love him so much!..here is a poem that he sent me, it's so sweet!

Your first smile
took my breath away
made everything worth while
each and every day

I can't control
that your the one
or that you make my soul
shine like the sun

if we last
and never fight
forget the past
And find the light

I'll close my lips
so i never lie
I'll give you a kiss
and try not to cry

your love is full of grace
and very true
there's a smile on my face
as long as I'm with you

that way you walk
with such style
the way you talk
always with a smile

nothings wrong
when I'm with you
i belong
and this IS true

| I LOVE YOU |

so, if i buy ten one campaign wristbands, who would pay me a dollar and wear one?

ul, 6:30, be there.

dang good movie last night i saw... (yoda, has nothing to do with willy wonka)

but i seem to have forgotten my quote i was going to write about... probably b/c i got 3 hours of sleep... thanks for the floor spot bj...

was the movie good?
yeah, at time is questioned a couple of the liberties they took with the original story... but how do you argue with tim burton... or willy wonka....

i sure am glad im just a normal kid, im not crazy smart, i dont watch TV all the time, my parents aren't rich, my mother fed me food other than chocolate, i was taught to compete, but not at gum chewing... we saw in this movie what happens to kids like that (you blow up like a blueberry, get sucked up into a pipe, disfigured by stretching machines, or thrown to your death by a angry mob of possessed squirrels {never knew squirrel was spelled like that}... not a good thing... then little people from other lands come out and sing songs about how stupid you are... im really just glad im normal...

definitely a movie to see, especially if you liked the first one!

I may never own a chocolate factory, but I've got more than I could ever comprehend with the God of Wonder that lives in me. . . and the story I'm taking part in (through Him)... Dahl himself could never imagine!

I CANT WAIT FOR THE MONEY BLOWING NIGHT !!! IM SOOO EXITED!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT HP BOOK AND CHARLIE AND THE CH. FACTORY!!! CANT WAIT!!!

JACQUE!!!

Well, I'm excited, anyway.

For those four special people, I have 3 other websites [yes, I'm that cool...] but I'll just give you links to two.

Umm...not a lot has been going on lately...
Just a bunch of friends leaving for Ireland.

I'm eatable, but that my children is called cannibalism and it is frowned upon in most societies."

wow. that my friends would be from charlie and the chocolate factory. i went to see it at midnight at the imax. pretty sure that is one of my new favorite movies! bascially i laughed the entire time, it was GREAT!!! i really want to see it again! yay for us cool kids (bj, monica, justin, and jonathan) that went to see it last night!!! i recommend all you fellow readers go see it as well. yes, that means YOU.

okay, so something pretty big hit me last night. well, you see this massive fish just kinda fell from the sky and pounded me right on my head during that storm last night...ok, so that really didn't happen, but it kinda feels that way when God shows you something... one thing i need to remember when i am going through anything, is who God is. remember his character. he IS loving, compassionate, secure, in control, forgiving, kind, ridiculously generous, full of grace...he is I AM. and knowing who he is can surely help you along your journey. just a thought. okay, well i gotta get ready to go to the world of slobber and dirty diapers. yay for me!!! i hope everyone has a great day!!!

ah yes another phusebox entry...i guess....hm...bored....listening to Tourniquet Remix on my mixed CD of Evanescence...is that all i listen to? i guess so, yes i guess...that, otep, juliette and the licks, COF, the cranberries, and seether...

this is me and JohnJohn. he's my nephew. (2 years old) he's the one that started calling me Stevie! ^_^

"goodmorning starshine, the earth says hello!"
-Willy Wonka

last night was amazing. i went to see charlie and the chocolate factory at midnight with justin, rachel, monica, and jonathan. we ended up seeing at the imax, and let me just tell you something. i LOVE that movie. it was so good, i could not stop laughing the whole time...and david crowder would like that movie too because there are lots of squirrels. the movie is completely different from the first one and more like the book, so you have to go in expecting that, but everyone needs to go see it...i am definitely going again.

by far, the coolest day of the week.

The age-old, million dollar question, deeply debated and yet unresolved:

Who's hotter in Pirates of the Carribean (or in general),

Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom?

As of last night, I can officially say that I have preached in an all black gospel church in downtown Brooklyn.
It was so crazy. We had no idea what to expect. We were invited with little to no instructions about what to do. "Just let the Spirit lead," was our only info. When we walked into the doors of the church, I thought what in the world have we gotten into.
The church was one room, probably 20 ft by 40 ft., one middle aisle with pews that would hold about 4 adults each pushed against the walls. There was a pulpit and chairs on the stage, which we were directed to sit in. No AC, fans going, and the flourescent lights in the ceiling were in the shape of a cross. And of course, a small band, drums, keyboard, guitar crammed in the front right corner. They danced and shouted and we loved it. It was just like in the movies when a white person goes to a black church and sticks out like a sore thumb. I almost expected the band to kick in while we were speaking. And I so bad wanted to shout "Hallelujah!" from the stage and jump up and down. You know you would want to too.
So that's my big story for the moment. Too much fun.

well i am tremendously bored, so i've decided to keep you up to date on my personal plans for once i've taken over the world.

i would, of course, need somewhere to live where i could concentrate on all the pressing problems world rule would be sure to bring.



photo from raoul_de_castor

ah, versailles. large. festive. near paris. yes, i think that will do. but just in case it's not big enough, i think i'll take . . .



photo from raoul_de_castor

. . . the catherine palace, as well. just outside st. petersburg. sizeable. ornate. blue. i like it.

however, i will also need a small country home where i can escape from the pressing matters of state and perhaps fish, play golf, or do whatever else rulers of the world do to relax.



photo from raoul_de_castor

i think that will do nicely. the chateau de chambord, in the loire river valley. small. quaint. out of the way. a real retreat from it all.

not that i would limit myself to only these properties. i'll have a mansion in venice, a coffee plantation in brazil, a villa in tuscany, a flat in new york, my own private island in the pacific . . . you begin to see my point.

of course, i certainly shan't keep all of it to myself. i've already promised many of you huge tracts of land (such as japan, spain, north america . . .), unfortunately i don't remember exactly what all i've promsied to whom. if i've promised you somewhere, remind me.

and if i haven't promised you anything yet, ask.

now, there's only to find someone willing to be queen of the world . . .

I was going to tell everyone to check out Pepper's Ghost, but I just got really tired. Late nights and early mornings don't mix.


I am really looking forward to Autumn. I enjoy summer, but only the beginings and endings of summer. The middle of summer is unbearable.

im startin over..i dont like that picture and i dont know how to change it..dang it..

so yea last night there was nothing to do so i went with my family to go see herbie:fully loaded. it was quite the movie. the actors did a amazing job in the movie. the one thing that stuck out to me was the racing team. the teams were made up of real race cars so many times movies use all these fake cars or numbers that don't exist. well i think it was pretty good overall. so today we are going to whitewater in atlanta today with my family and then we head home tonight. later- stephen

yes, I'm in a good mood today.
yesterday was just weird for me.

the storm was pretty amazing yesteday.
I stood outside on my porch.
I dont like it when it sprinkles
but I do love it when it comes down hard
there's just something about it.

after this whole babysitting thing
I am sleeping in until 2 everyday haha
I hate waking up at 5:30
I mean it's the summer!
the pay is great so no complaining.

school.
it's not that far away.
kinda want to go.
but then again I dont haha.
for the friends I do
but not for the work.
isnt that always how it is? haha

well I'll be back later for sure.
I love yooou. :]

So I've learned to cook. I have cooked breakfast everyday this week, but havent usually been awake for dinner.

I have come to the conclusion that i have become a very clean and orginized person.

TRESemme is an incredible shampoo. >_< My hair looks Ten times more awsome and clean than ever before.

its 4:10 in the morning, and i want to go to sleep...dance camp....blah...

Countdown to Knoxville: 35 days

Finally bought Family Guy: Season 3 on DVD. Heh, heh, allright.

One of the most relaxing things you can do in life is go into Wal-Mart around midnight, buy some lunchables, and eat them in the parking lot..while Lyndi reads Cosmo. It's the simple things in life make it so worthwhile.

Did you know a person can have 2 waists? I figured that out the other night..

So I've been driving around with "I

this is something I got off of kash's myspace. It's pretty cool take a min. to read it it'll really make u think.

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings,
but
shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend
more,
but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses,
and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more
degrees, but less judgement; more knowledge, but less sense; more
experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We have
multiplied our posessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much
love too seldom and hate too often. We learned how to make a living
but
not a life; we've added years to life- but not life to years. We've
been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the
street to meet the new neighbors. We've conquered outer space, but not
inner space; we've cleaned up the air but polluted the soul; we've
split
the atom, but not the prejudice; we have higher incomes, but lower
morals; we've become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits and
shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace but domestic
warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less
nutrition. These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of
fancier houses, but broken homes. It is a time when there is much in
the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology
can
bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose to make a
difference.
You are the light of the world, my friends, now go shine!!

Many of you know me, have hung out with me at some point, have been in the same class as me, something of the sort.

So I have a question for all of you

If you didn't really talk to me all that often and just mostly observe me....

Do I strike you as someone who does a lot of drugs?




New Topic

I was having a conversation the other day with someone. We were talking about how people make plans for different things in their future. It all makes perfect sense, like there's no other way things could end up. But then any slight event can change everything. And from then on, nothing will be the same.

Not that that's a bad thing, it usally ends up better in the long run. That just depends on the situation.

It made me realize that actually, nothing ever turns out exactly as I ever planned. Whether it be something short term like plans for a day, or long term, like something to do by the end of the month or where i'll be ten years from now.


But I have to admit, that the way things have turned out so far...i'm glad


happiness is living by the moment

and at the moment

i'm happy :)

Okay, I stand in awe of what God has done for me here in Hawaii. I am looking forward to telling you guys all about it soon. He has blessed me beyond imagination. There have been so many opportunities, but anyways... I have put some awesome pictures in the gallery. After much prayer, God has told me to spend the last 11 days without focusing on home, so no more updates. Know that I love you guys and that I'm praying for all of you. I will see you soon...
Your brother in Christ,
Michael

Steven and Eric... my absolute fav, go me!! lol

I loved everys minute of it. Its amazing how one simple act can be so much fun! Then round 11ish I headed home and drove like 30 all the way home and just enjoyed drivin in the rain listenin to Jack Johnson and the Eagles a usually 10min drive home took like 25min it was so relaxing thats my fave thing to do is to just drive and listen to music like really listen to the words! Well enough for tonight! Yall enjoy this rain get out in it play, sing, be goofy!!

Wake up slow, yeah wake up slow
You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what your supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Ill make you banana pancakes
Pretend like its the weekend now

so today when i woke up it seemed like a nice day.. not too hot, not too sunny.. so I decided it was perfect day to wash my car.. my dad always says its best to wash your car when its not super hot and sunny.. so knowing this I prepared everything.. water, soap, sponges.. washed it.. looked at it- beautiful!! finally it was clean.. and then it rained!!! what's up with that?!?! oh well.. I shall try again tomorrow!! no just kidding.. maybe next week.. or maybe I'll just put car wash soap all over it and let the rain wash it off!! Well thats about all I did today.. tried looking for curtains today.. no luck what-so-ever.. so if anyone knows where I can find some bright yellow curtains, that would be very helpful!! Well I hope you kids have a great night!!!
-cp

well, i wasn't sure what to write about today...and then i started thinking, what have i been praying for lately?? the answer is patience . whether waiting for an answer to some random question, a relationship, whatever it may be, we have to remember that God's time isn't our time. He is the one who truly knows what's best for each and every one of us. maybe if his people would be more faithful...like 100%, then he would bless us with what we pray for more quickly. i think that we have to give everything to him before he will go handing us the things we desire...i'm working on it.

well...i am in Macon, GA.... We are staying in the Marriott..... But we are on our way to St. Augustine,Florida..I am soo excited!!!! But yeah...I hope that everyone has a great week!! See yall when i get back!!!!

haha i leave for UT Martin tomorrow morning at 445 for dance camp.. actually kinda excited i love like everyone on tha dance team haha so it should be interesting

At this time tomorrow, I'll hopefully be nearing the Virginia state border.

For now, I'm sitting at my grandparents' watching Fox News beat the Natalie Halloway case into the ground as they interview random Aruban attorneys who are in no way related to the case aside from the instance of their nationality, and wondering when China will get around to nuking us.
Good times in America, foo'.

Some people.... *Exasperation*

My family desires me to work for that television network. They fail to realise that my political views would get me both sacked and maimed on the first day of job training.

The amount of makeup women wear on that show is astounding. They must use trowels.

Car commercials get weirder every day. Watch the latest Eclipse commercial and you'll see what I mean. [Tribal drumming is sooooo relevent.]

My frickin' god. I may be in all likelihood staying in-state for undergrad.
For a good reason. A very, very good reason.
I'm floored.

So yes, Virginia.... I get to test the acceleration of Granny's zippy new [red, might I add] Honda. Woohooooooo! *Grins*

Now my grandmother is discussing the properties of date-rape drugs sold in Aruba, and how they react with alcohol. And various methods of being safe at parties. Interesting. And analysing the handcuff patterns used on Joran Van Der Sloot [such a surname if ever I heard one; I know he's Dutch, but it's still just plain funny]. And on to sonar and cadaver dogs.... She's quite amusing -- I love her.

Thunderstorms are not one of God's greatest accomplishments, let's just clear that up right now.

You know you're best friends when you run a box down to their house, she's not there [because the lucky bitch is in the School of Visual Arts camp in Manhattan], but you stay for over an hour just talking with her mum and sister. :) Woot.

Quote of the Day
"I'm all for you moving out!" -- My beloved mother.
She didn't mean it that way. We were discussing my habitation should I attend MTSU. Because I really don't want to be the type of person who lives at home through college and then moves out when she gets married. Granted that works for some people [my cousin undoubtedly will be included in this], but trying to survive outside one's childhood home just seems to be an important developmental step.

ok...this was one of those days that I just needed to be alone and think and i needed a cup of coffee. But I was stuck at home for most of the day cleaning and guess what? I get to clean again tomorrow! HA! what are the chances of that? Oh well....things could be worse. I'm actually ok. just slightly irritated at how some people can't see past someone else's mistakes and stop judging them! Agh! We all make mistakes.

Well, I am back from UTK and about to leave again for Columbia to be a counselor at TASC Leadership Camp. I did finally get all the classes that I need for UTK, at the times that I wanted. I was able to change my Chem. 120 to Chem 100 at a much better time so that I can apply to be the Chairperson of Freshman Council at UTK.

Oh well, I am glad that I got all of that worked out. I leave tomarrow afternoon for training in Columbia and then the camp starts on Sunday. That alll should be alot of fun.

I am looking at getting a new suv. I have been currently looking at a 2005 Mercury Mariner. I like it. Below is a picture. I just have to see about the mustang right now. This suv is a great vehicle for college, don't you think???



photo from Tack

Well I hope that you guys have a great week, without me again..... I dont think that I will be able to undate while at camp, so y'all have fun without me.

*And Aimee, I will be able to eat all of that pasta. I can eat alot, even after bread and salad....LOL

Peace, Love, God Bless

I'm a loser!!

edit:: alex wrote this, not me. But I am pretty much a loser.

what do you do....when you think you're in love, but the person you love... doesn't show you that same love back?

holla

... it's just not possible. i'm not as cute and hot and go-jus as everyone tells me i am. i just don't see it. it's confusing.

i don't get it.

Yeah. . . so I have a job. I actually interviewed for it two weeks ago, and they called last week telling me I'd be coming in sometime this week. I started yesterday, and I'm already pretty much used to it. I work at Taevan's Lube Center. . . that's right folks, Anna Miller works at an oil changing place. Though, the only things I do to cars are put air in the tires-- "Using a gauge?" "Yeah."-- ((Dad found this EXTREMELY amusing-- hm, I wonder why, lol)), washing windows, and vacuuming the floorboards. I'm also working with Shannon and Matt, so that's exciting, lol.

Um-- this morning was fun. I went to Cracker Barrel and Starbucks with Brian, Cameron, Aimee, Christina, and Lauren before going in at 11:00. Good food, mmm.

UGH THAT PICTURE!! aj put it on there..im tryin to change it..i dont skateboard..why did u pick that aj?

To whatever higher power out there that is responsible for this... THANK YOU.

No seriously, it made my day. My week, even.

Hah... unfortunately there is still a chance for it to be severely unmade.

Lets hope it goes well.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

**wink wink wink**

Yeah, Cassie - I'm serious.

::edit::

Nevermind.

Algebra is Satan. Well, today it is anyways.

He has to go tutor a friend who's not doing well in algebra. So none of that lovely stuff *points up*. But I did something totally awesome.

In the middle of our last phone conversation, he said, "I'll see you later."

And I said, "No. Don't tell me that you'll 'see me later' when I don't even know when you're NOT working. When are you next NOT working?"

I mean, I got all firm and forceful and everything. I was like... You are not making plans with me and then not rescheduling them, BITCH.

Haha... still need to name that street after him.

Anyways - looks like we've got one more for Fazoli's next Tuesday. ^_^

I win.
Even though algebra says I lose.
I made myself win anyways.

Today I worked, and tomorrow I work a double. A flippin double! But Derek's sister is coming into town tomorrow night, and she is staying with NONE OTHER than me! How exciting!

Ahhhh...Jane is now un-grounded. Which means "we" are un-grounded. Which is cool. Cuz we got to go out and get our coffee.
I got some really cool floor mats for my car, Lucky 13 ones, that were on sale at Hot Topic for $7!!
I also stopped off at Victoria's Secret to buy some underwear so I could get Jane a free stuffed dog she's been wanting.
I ordered some Chinese earlier, and I think we may go see a movie later, since Aunt Karen won't let us go to Nashville to see "Charlie" tonight....blah.....
But this is MY UNITED STATES OF WHATEVER!!!

Today was kinda rough... but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

First off, my trip down here went well. Everything went smoothly and we had a good evening and night in MS. Today, we visited my granddad in the hospital. There's some things you have to know about my granddad before I continue...

He was a Marine in WW2. He was a pastor. He used to take walks in the mall for exercise. He loves people and he loves to laugh and cut up. He's just a crazy character. I knew his memory was slipping some, but I didn't think it would ever be bad enough to be Althiemer's (sp?). Well, today the doctor says he thinks that Granddaddy has a moderate case of it.

He didn't do bad at all though. He was cutting up, laughing, and be goofy. He had some memory issues, like with names and stuff, and I think that he imagined me being younger, but he still did really well. He knew who we were, and he never seemed to be agitated or anything of that sort. It was a blessing. It was also draining, however.

While he was crazy as usual, he also got real emotional. He was like a man on his death bed, who kept telling us how much he loved us and was proud of us and how much we meant to him. And he looked right at me and told me to enjoy life. To always find joy, and to always love. He kept saying he was crying tears of happiness because of what a great life he has had.

What seemed weird to me though, was later (or maybe it was earlier) when Grandma talked about how he had been depressed... saying that he wasn't any good and all that. I don't understand how my Granddad could say that. He has lived a long and fulfilling life. There is this incredible war story involving my Granddad where he should have died, but he didn't. God had plans for him.

He was a pastor and helped a lot of people. He raised a family. He still brings joy and laughter into my life and the lives of others. Oh, and he's still madly in love with my Grandma. I don't know how many times he looked over at his 77 year old wife and commented how beautiful and special she was... and that just rocks. One of the deepest desires of my heart is to grow old with a man who is that crazy about me.

So it was a special time, but afterwards, for a couple hours, I was so out of it. But it was a blessing to hear his words of wisdom. He's such an awesome man of God. Even though he doesn't talk about God all the time, I can still see that in him. Oh, and a pastor from a local Baptist church came in shortly before we left and prayed with us, and that was awesome.

So my friends, let us live, and love, and laugh.

I updated my photo because the other one was horrible yet cool cuz i was like 3 maybe 4 feet from those seals! Ok then, I'm tired after yet another day baby-sitting... Ever have that feeling like your bladder will explode if you don't pee that very second? Add a 125lb boy jump/sitting on you.. fun!?!?! I think not. Welcome to my world of baby sitting my cousins!

Your Brain is 66.67% Female, 33.33% Male



Your brain leans female

You think with your heart, not your head

Sweet and considerate, you are a giver

But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!


What Gender Is Your Brain?

Well, I managed to get out of the house and have a nice time today. When I do dig myself out of the black death hole of antisocialism (not that I'm against socialism....or wait, yes I am) I find that I enjoy myself. Usually, though, I'm stuck at home eating lime sherbert and watching Ella Enchanted with my little sister. But that's not so bad. Lime sherbert is actually quite good - sherbert in general is really underrated. Anyway, I'm rambling pointlessly.

This afternoon I came to the conclusion that trees are a excellent representation of God's love. I had a whole thoery behind it, too. Amazing stuff, I could've written a book. But then I fell asleep and when I woke up I had completely forgotten. Ces't la vie. Mark my words, though, it was a brilliant concept.

I couldn't have coffee today due to having my pearly whites worked on yesterday, so going to Starbucks was a little saddening. Word of warning, the Strawberries and Creme "frappucino" tastes like strawberry milk. A little weird.

And there you have it. July 14, 2005 for Christina Catherine Witt in a nutshell.

Dear Daughter,
I wish you could see yourself the way I see you. You are beautiful from the inside out. I love it when you smile and share your joy with others.
You are talented. I'm glad you notice and cherish all I have given you. It makes me smile when I see you blessing others with the talents I have given you.
I designed you especially to bring My Love into this world. I made you just the way you are for special reasons. It is such a joy to watch you grow, mature, and discover your gifts. You are My own daughter, My special creation, My unique treasure.
Always remember that I made you in My own image. That means YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, kind, loving, caring, giving, and full of many gifts.
Continue to ask for My direction as I show you how to use your time, treasure, and talents. Be happy and know that I made a treasure when I made you.
I Love you forever,
Your heavenly Father

........ya'll read that again.....soak it up....you are a treasure to God!!! WOW!! If nothing has made you smile or happy today, may that light up your face and make your heart feel as if it were dancing!! :D I love ya'll! Take care and Stay Strong!!

You believe everything you hear...

It's when you first realize your parents are your heros...

You don't mind playing in the mud...

On summer days, the sprinkler is your best friend...

Everyone is your best friend...

Including your dog...

You don't know the evil in the world...

Which of course makes you innocent and care-free...

You don't mind being honest with people...

You think boys have cooties (sometimes i wish i still believed that)...

You wore cute clothes...

You played dress up...

You wanted to be just like your mom...

You pictured heaven as Disneyland...

Nothing mattered...

I want to be a kid again...

happy bastille day.

a couple hundred years ago today a bunch of angry parisian peasants completely destroyed a prison, signifying the beginning of the end for the french monarchy.

twenty years later, after following a very short corsican on a mad dash across europe, the peasants had run france down into a shambles and the bourbon family was back.

now that's what i call effective revolution.

-A quote from the book Every Young Man, God's Man

Not too much going on lately. I work a whole lot this week, which is kind of a bummer.. but hopefully the paycheck will go to a good cause *coughshoppingcough*. Well Saturday i finally got the courage to... get my ears pierced. You do not understand how scared i was, needles scare me to death... and so does sitting in a stinking chair for everyone walking by to seeing me finally get some guts and get my ears pierced.

Can you feel it crush you
Do they complicate you
Because they make you feel like this
But you should know these Colors that your shinin'

Are surely not the best
Colors that you shine

Surely not the best
Colors that you shine

I know you feel alone, yea
No one else can figure you out
But don't you ever turn away from
The ones that help you down

They love to save you
Don't you know they would love to see you smile
But these colors that you shine
Are surely not your style

But you should know these
Are surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best
Colors that you shine

I know your feeling like your lost
But you should know these colors that you're shinin' are
I know your feeling like your lost
You feel you've drifted way too far
Did you know these colors that you're shinin' are

Surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best (I know your feeling like your lost)
Colors that you shine (But you should know these colors that you're shinin' are)
Surely not the best (I know your feeling like your lost)
You feel you drifted way too far
Did you know these colors that you're shinin' are

*things are still going well...

*i'm getting more and more excited about college. last night one of my favorite guy friends asked me to stay and go to MTSU insted... he said that he really didn't want me to go so i asked him why.. and he told me that he'd miss me... and it nearly broke my heart, but i know that God wants me to go to PCC. there have been too many confermations... (besides the fact that i really don't like MTSU)... but yeah... it's hard. the thing that i hate most is that everything is going to change while i'm gone and i'm not going to be here to experience it all. i'll come back and everything and everyone will be completely different. it also hurts that almost everyone has a negetive oppinion toward Pensacola Christian. i know that they are strict... but if i don't have a problem w/ abiding by their rules i don't understand why everyone else cares about it. they're not going there... i am. i just wish they could be happy that i'm in God's will. i wish that they could be happy that i want to serve God. but there's no pleasing some people. it just hurts when those people are people that i love and respect. it just hurts. but i won't let it stop me. i'll never let it stop me. and it really makes me appreciate the people who do stand behind me. who respect my decision. i'm especially grateful for Amber whose actually excited for me. Amber, you don't know what that means. i feel like you're my cheerleader... and i hope that i can do the same for you and others :) "the Lord gives, and the Lord takes away"

*on a happier note... we bought my pattern for my shrugg to go over my formal... it's going to be cute and we also bought a pattern for my khaki shirt since i can't find one that doesn't stop half way up my thigh. lol. yay! i'm learning to sew! haha.. this should be interesting

So, Amanda came over last night from 11:00 untill about 15 till 12:00. We had fun...

She didn't tell her dad that she was going, so he got really pissed. But, She didnt get yelled at or anything, so, I guess it's all good.

Today, Amanda and I are going to Toot's to get some yum yum for supper. Then, we might come back here, we might go to her moms house, we might go to the mall... somthing.

Hmmmm, thats about all I can think of, so, later homies.

Brett

hey its my birthday yay im 17 finially

So as I was eating breakfast this morning and listening to toby mac on my computer I was thinking about what I could right about on my phusebox and this is what came into my mind...... over the past 2 years josh hornbaker and josh carrol have drilled into my mind about how we take wednesday nights with god at church for granted and instead of going to get stronger in our faith we go to have that one day to be revamped so just that one day of church is supposed to keep us going for the rest of the week just that 1 hour and 30 min.... for the rest of the week!!! does anyone else see anything wrong with that!!! I do.. my prayer probably about the past 2 weeks is that God will take this idea out of my head and replace it with a passion for wednesday night at belle aire baptist that I will go to experience something amazing and to see GOds kingdom come and after that to come home and read my bible even more... and Praise Jesus that has what he has done but my prayer is that you guys will realize (if you haven't already) that wednesday nights at church are not to just give you a little high if even that but to help you grow in your faith and to experience jesus in an amazing way... that is my prayer and I know that its clint nadues.....let me tell you this guy has a passion for us, our youth group, and I just hope that sometime soon wednesday nights will become a big stuf worship and it is so possible because guess what the same GOd that is at big stuff is right here in the boro and if that doesn't get you fired up then I don't know what will.... Well everyone have a great day because I know I am and be blessed love you all in the name of jesus
IN CHRIST john

Stupid drama.

I'm tired of people and their bullshit.

I just had a 3 hour long conversation with a pretty cool person and now all of today's worries are gone. Night!

dang i dont know if i allready told you all , but my grandpa is thinking about trading in my truck! i was kinda like blown away when i heard that but then again its okay i guess because if he gets rid of it then i get the 1999 ford F-250 which is really nice . its like the top of the line for that year and its big looking and big engine compared to the ranger . the ranger got a like 2.3 liter and the F-250 has a 5.0 or i think even a 5.6 liter not sure . There are two different engines for that year. ya i know why they make it so diffcult on us all . lol . none of you probly really care but i think its kinda exciting lol i might buy a new engine for it though because the old one has 450,000 on it which sucks but yah not untill i get my permenate job . right now my job isnt paying enough but im out cya . i love u megan

So yea, I've discovered a love for the song Collide by Howie Day. It's jus a really cool song.

~Collide~
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

do do do do x4

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometime
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

do do do do x4

I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometime
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

do do do do x8

Even the best fall down sometime
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

do do do do x2

Finally find
You and I collide

do do do do x2

You finally find
You and I collide

do do do do x8

...ya just in case you were wonderin

well im out for now i love you... probabbly - milly

Standing on top of the edge, it feels like it's going down
Everything stays in my mind, feeling in a daze on the ground
Feels like it's gonna give, life's to hard to live anymore
I think I've had enough- things too tough, I'm out the door

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down, what you gonna do?
Standing on top of the world tonight
No one's looking back at you
Stand tall-
It's going on, it's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on, holding on today

Things don't stop and the others announced they're moving on
Salt and tears in the minds in the mouths of a bad decision
Too late for another mistake- it's bringing me down
With all your faults it isn't your fault what's going on

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down, what you gonna do?
Standing on top of the world tonight
No one's looking back at you
Stand tall-
It's going on, it's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on, holding on today

So you lost yourself
So you lost your way
Found life through someone else
But you threw it all away

All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down, what you gonna do?
Standing on top of the world tonight
No one's looking back at you
Stand tall-
It's going on, it's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on, holding on today

Times rolling on, rolling on today
It's going on, going on today

ok, so i think i'm getting the hang of this! *yeah baby* i put some photo's up from a mission trip i was on about 3-4 months ago! I might put more up tomorrow but i'm tired and it takes FOREVER! My computer is soooo incredibly slow! good night

ok..it just like came from out of nowhere...daddy always said, "it's better to let people think you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!"...am i the only one who needs to hear this?? oh gracious

hey y'all! i made a group called "i'm praying for nathan and NY"...just in case u want to join!

      a perfect circle is lovebrought to you by the isLove Generator

guess who needs a hug...

that's right...mady.

Everyone longs to give oneself completely to someone, to have a deep-soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly an completely.
But God to a Christian says, "No. Not until you are satisfied and content and fulfilled with being loved by Me alone. . . I love you, My chold. Until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will NOT be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will NOT be united with another until you are united with Me. Exclusive of anyone else, exclisive of all desires or wants. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow me to give you the most thrilling plan existing-- one that you can't imagine. I want you to have the best! Please allow Me to bring you this; just keep watching me; expecting the greatest things. Keep learning and hearing the things I tell you. You must wait! Don't be anxious. Don't worry! Don't look around at things others have gotten or that I have given them; you just keep looking off and away up to me, or you will miss what I want to show you. And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than that you have EVER dreamed for. You see, until you are ready, and until the one I have for you is ready-- IAM working at this moment to have both of you ready at the same time!!! Until both of you are satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I've prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplified your relationship with Me. . . and this is the perfect love. And, dear one, I want you to have the most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting untion of beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with Myself. Know that I love you utterly. I am the God Almighty! Believe and be satisfied!"

Kaylei gave me this awhile ago, and I just found it amidst a group of papers in a drawer. Thought I'd share.

Extremely pleasant last couple of days. This lack of AIM has allowed much more sleep time. But it still is sometimes sad.

Tehe.

Now another trial must be dealt with. That should prove interesting. I just hope it goes well, I dont like being upset or having people upset with me. Especially as it affects other things.

Hrrm

Happy days.

y when u need sum1 2 talk or just vent 2 no1 is there...or it seams like no1 realy cares:\

matt decided to give me my site back!!! He was upgrading it to Mafia .6 isn't he really nice! hahaha! yea so that site address is my new site!!!
