I prayed, God listened, God answered my prayer.  The conclusion I have come to is that I will continue to pray. 

It's crazy how it all works :)

so, I never mentioned this on here...but, I got a job. woo hoo! :) I'm working at the Middle Tennessee Christian School's preschool summer program. It's sooo much fun and these kids are adorable. I'm also getting the chance to actually have a class of my own and teach them about different animals and such. The class I'm teaching is a bunch of three-year olds, and let me tell you.... they are hilarious, some of the things they say and do :)  Well anyways, hope you all are having a fantastic summer so far. -Kaylei

I am officially 21! oh, and I am going to be in town (m'boro) tomorrow, so if you are in town and want to hang out, give me a call...I'm in town for only one night. Holla.

with every seconds wait...
i say that your worth it
but with every moments pass
i feel every little bit
of the wait i've taken on...

i love you so much,
yet all the signs point to no...
why am i so stubborn
this i don't even know...
it's my gift and my curse...
to feel this way.

so I have been doing much thinking and this is the best way to express it ...

...There are tons of exciting things happening today in the church and as a result of shifts in our culture, with the trends that flow in and out, we see things that have never been done in "the church" to bring creativity in churchs and "to enhance" messages. From webcasts, podcasts, video loops, TV broadcasts, services on saturday to better congregations schedules, big or small groups, post-modern services, interactive media for children, lights and projection screens and even electric guitars in worship services! (i say that last one with much exaggeration haha)... but regardless within the past decade there are tons of new things in churchs that were never there before...and it seems today that many today have to be up to date everything little thing from one sunday to the next, like Apple's next release of an iPod, computer, or software. Regardless of what we think the church has stepped into a world of its own that covers everything from our forms of communication to the way we interpret life.
... what is challenging in all this is that it encourages us to continually look for new forms of communication. It's a good thing to be learners of new languages in our communities and culture; HOWEVER, if we look at contemporary worship today, I fear we may find that there is little understanding of the communicational (if thats a word) nature of God's house. God's house is a house of prayer. Jesus is our worship leader (Hebrews 8:1-3) and Text (John 1:14). In the attempts of making God's house an "exciting and relevant place" to the culture, it is possible that God's purpose for His house is distorted to where we undermine the power and authority of our Lord. I think we are in danger of a different "text" being placed at the center of the church, so that we aren't doing what the church was meant to do...to teach, fellowship (worship), breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42).
...There is one Text, and thats the Word of the Father and is known to us through stories preserved in sacred Scripture, and continues to make Himself present to us through His Spirit. It is He who is the the Word, the Text. Other texts are available, but they are simply informational, but the Text is transformational because our Lord stirs the hearts of those who seek Him and delight in Him...sadly though, we easily get caught up in all the "great" communication tools available to us through what we call church media...we MUST get caught up in the transformational Text and keep Him center.

*** I think it's no coincidence that in Mathew 21:13, Jesus enters the temple in Jerusalem and doesn't like what He finds...He finds a marketplace, a temple that is commercialized. So as a result he overturns tables and justifies His actions by quoting "It is written, MY House will be called a house of prayer, but you have made it into a den of thieves." The text here that Jesus quotes is Isaiah 56:7 "My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." I think its incredible how Jesus uses Scripture to call the people back to the original purpose of prayer and worship...and away from cultural forces that distract them from those purposes.
...Jesus does not state a new purpose of his Father's house, but He is taking what has already been said by God in the matters of worship and giving it new meaning in the present day. And i think thats the same today...We don't need to think of the "den of thieves" as simply robbers, but the thieves and robbers are simply any other program or plan that takes us away from our full attention towards God. I think it is necessary and right that we owe Him His attention, which ought to be devotion, praise and glory. Nowadays the tables that are overturned would not be marketgoers or merchants of doves, but those who are using God's house of prayer for their own agenda...
One thing to think about is would Jesus overturn tables if He entered the individual church's of our nation...would He justify His actions to us through Scripture to us because we delight in foolish things as "great" communication tools or our attempts of making God's house an "exciting and relevant place" our culture?

The point is that today, the technology of communication and all the creative, listening devices have taken center stage within the Body. Perhaps in parts of the Body these new uses of communication are prioritized over the Text. It's sad when the story of Jesus we are sharing becomes the theme to the story of the manner we are telling the story... The problem is the audience for our worship is not God, but rather the audience becomes a god (attempting to make God's house an "exciting and relevant place").

I can vote.
I can go clubbin.
I can pick up a pack-o-cigs. I won't.

And I can go to big-people jail.

Bean also mentioned that I can now participate in pornography and gambling, informing me that I can lose my health, money, and morals all at the same time!

Yay for 18!

whoa what a day... I guess you just got to learn to move on, even if it is going to be hard...

I am telling you this because the government has slackened on their primary responsibility--the well-being of the people of this land--but many will deny my factual competence as I proceed with my argument.  According to my research, in the year 2100, feces will cover the earth, exacting a terrible biohazard on the face of our beloved planet.  Matter does not just disappear: all that fecal matter has slowly been building up underneath the surface of the earth until sufficient pressure will expel fecal matter of the most disgusting kind into the air with the chaos of a hurricane, and it is all our fault.  We should've killed off the lowlifes to save the good, hardworking American people from such dire tragedy.  Our only decision now can be to hold it all in.  Yes, my comrades, you must boycott the bowel movement to lessen the impact of the fecal torrent.  Protest against the lobbyists who find the comfort of riches from their evil deeds, such as the toilet paper and restroom industries.  They are also to blame and shall have their day of reckoning when we, the common man, stressed by the woes of everyday life and the inability to properly purge waste matter from our anatomy, take them down.  Also, you must kill all celebrities, for in addition to spewing garbage out of their rectums, they also have an uncanny ability to defecate out their oral cavity, adding to the chaos tenfold.  Yes, comrades, in doing these things, you can help stall the apocalypse, and make the world a far better place for you and me.

What a truism.  As some of you may know, before moving to Angola I lived and worked in Aceh, Indonesia.  That was a tough time in my life (2000-2001) and it was particularly stressful because I was in a "war zone".  Ultimately I was evacuated because of safety reasons.  After the evacuation, I was on refuge status in Jakarta and lived in a hotel there for about 9 months .... ultimately coming to Angola to live in work.

And so, to complete the "circle" I am now being transferred back to Indonesia.  I will work and live in Jakarta ... but not as a "refuge" this time.  International relocations are quite a challenge ... and the process is complicated, time consuming and frustrating.  Plus, setting up a "new life" there will be full of interesting twists and turns.  No doubt this will make good "blogging fodder" ... so, hang on to your hats.  Hopefully, some of you will find this interesting reading over the next few months.

*** Part 1:

International relocations is very much a "hurry, hurry, wait" situation.  I was first approached in April about the move (which came as a complete surprise as I expected to be here in Angola until June 2007).  I was told scant information but expected to provide prompt feedback on whether or not I was interested.  Then I heard the move was a "done deal" ... before I even said "yes".  So, I spent the next few weeks scurrying around trying to flesh out details of the move, housing, schooling for Thasya and Chely, and the job so that I didn't feel like a mushroom .... then came the "silence" part where I heard absolutely nothing about the move.

Kept asking for information, but got scant details.  Kept hearing that things were moving along and soon they would request key personal information from me, but heard nothing.  I reminded everybody that I was going on vacation for 3 weeks ... so what did they do ... they issued their barrage of questions/requests (all with "prompt replies" required) WHILE I was on vacation.  Luckily I was able to handle the requests before White Water Rafting.

NOW ... its silence once again .... stay tuned.

I am in love with this dog! His name is Higgins. Mo got him from my best friend!
He is the smartest, cutiest dog ever!!

**edit** I"MMA GOIN TO HILTON  HEAD TOMORROW!!!!!YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! this week just keeps gettin better and better....

so uh, yeah. i don't even know what to say. i led a friend to Christ tonight....gahlee! i can't believe God would even use me like that! i came to church, not at all expecting to even really get anything out of tonight, and lo and behold, guess who shows up, but Marlene...first time i've even seen her in almost 2 years, first time she's been to Belle Aire, and so we get to talking, and i ask her if she's ever asked Jesus into her heart, and she wanted to so badly, but she just said she didn't know how, so we talked more, and she let me pray for her, and then i helped her ask Him into her heart!!!!!! OMGOODNESS!!!!!! how exhilarating...i just still can't get over it...and what a testimony she is going to have...AHHH! I can't wait to see what God is going to do in her  life! WOW! so yeah. pretty exciting stuff. but the coolest thing is that it was alllllllll God....it was just Him coming through me, so i (thankfully) can't take any of the credit. I am just so thankful that he used me like that! nayways....yeah. good day. much love to you all, and don't forget that God can do anything, because we take that so for granted...---Cari

38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to
separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  
    -- Romans 8:38-39

So I was going to watch a movie with my dad tonight. I borrowed a movie and came home because he said he wanted to watch something with me.... well I got here and he has already gone to bed so I am supposing that that means that we will not be watching a movie tonight... ::sighs::

Other thoughts ::beware of ramblings::
          I am beginning to think that if I gave away some of the things that I feel responsible for that maybe it would actually be easier on everyone else... that sounds strange... but right now I don't have time to do all of the things that need to be done... so I don't ever get "caught up," this causes me to stress and also to constantly ask favors of everyone else... I have learned to ask for help but only when there is absolutely no way that I can do it myself... If I turned some things over to others, then 1. I wouldn't be so stressed (which would make others happier to be around me or at least it more tolarable) 2. Things might actually get done besides what absolutely HAS to be done RIGHT NOW (which would make dad hapier and everyone else not feeling so guilty). 3. I wouldn't constantly be asking others to do things for me and they would be able to say 'look at all that I have to do' in that brag/complain manner that I wouold willingly pawn off. 4. I would be able to have a more clearly defined list of things I need to do so tha maybe I could be more efficent. 5. It would set things up so that thigs will run more smoothly even when I am not here. 6. I would be able to get things done that others need me to do for them.  hmmmm....

Well, I have applied at 14 places in the past 2 days. I had better get a job soon. I'm going to do some more job hunting tomorrow as well.

I love dark chocolate. Almost as much as I love brownies.

Chris is amazing.

i voted in my first election yesterday. it was for the california primaries. and as lame as it sounds, it was exhilarating. i love the democratic process. seriously, more people should vote.

i'm also thrilled that most of the people that i voted for ended up winning. the most prominent victory went to phil angelides.

Things just keep on getting better and better.

And yes, that's largely sarcasm.  But I smile, because oftentimes it's all you can do.

:-)

Well, I finally did it, or I should say that they finally did it.  Quick background...Wal-mart management thought it would be nice to give someone saturday night off for a bad reason (don't care to say what it is, but it was stupid) thus leaving me as the only CSM for about 6 hours...not happy...so Sunday, still a little upset about this situation I decided that I would talk to management about this...of course, they told me that it was an insult to them for me to come to them with this complaint and saying that i felt under appreciated. (sorry about having feelings wal-mart).  And to be told that given the chance they would do it again and leave me by myself because I could handle it.  So, since the other guy came in on Sunday to make up his hours and I felt as though they could not properly resolve the situation, I look at my manager who is the one responsible for screwing me over, and told him that i was taking 7 hours of personal time and walked out and that I wanted my transfer asap or else i was just going to up and quit that regardless of what happens i wanted out of their store.  About 30 minutes after I left I realized what I did and actually felt good about it.  So, now I am debating if I even want to show up on Friday.

Quick side note...I said in my last entry that if things go the way they are, I could shed some light on a current situation.  Well things are changing so it might be sooner....big news to come.

my brother comes home tomorrow... mama has to goand spend the night @ the hospital tonight so the nurses cand make sure shes ok w/ taking care of a premature baby... but he should be home in the morning...!!! woot... ttfn...

Things with the insurance are moving along nicely.  There was some confusion with the insurance as to whether the accident should go on my parents' or mine, as Dad and Mom still had coverage on it, but since it had replaced one of my vehicles, it was also covered on mine.  The company decided that it should go on mine and they will be issuing a check for the repairs minus the deductible this week.  Hopefully they'll manage to get the deductible out of the other insurance company so I can have it back. 

Daniel and I toured the Mother's Day Out at our church yesterday.  He LOVED it.  He had a great time with all the new toys and with the other baby.  I think he's going to start in a couple weeks on Tuesdays or Thursdays.  It will be nice to have a free day each week to do the grocery shopping and run errands, maybe even do laundry.

i am definately crushing on a certain young man

But in my deep hope is not for forever.

Atlanta Traffic definatly SUCKS.

Like 2 hours worth of suck.

I am about to leave suburban Altanta and drive to Athens (known for its crack rings and the georgia bulldogs- how exciting) to pick up my brother.

We drove thru Atlanta yesterday and the following happened:

• An arab followed us begging for money


• We got lost in the ghetto- the ATLANTA ghetto (far more scary than the murfreesboro one)


• got stuck in traffic for a long time


• our laptop car charger started smoking- it was fun.

I will be home tonight.... thank god.

it has been raining for days.

it is ok for me, cause my operation for throat needs such cool weather.

in two or three days, i may be put to the operation table for the first time in my life. to tell the truth, i do feel a little scared. never expecting that i would handle all these staff alone, however, that's the way it is.

     only in such kind of time do i found that i am this wicked person, cause it seems that only in this lonely and helpless time can i concentrate on God more.

    too many difficulties and failures and attacks have been passed,  too many tears have been presented before God, now i understand that" God cares those who are broken hearted".  anyway, i know there will be some tough difficulties ahead , i know strongly now, God is watching me, and will handle all this. thanks be to God.

...and love is what makes that journey worthwhile.


Is this real?


I feel like I'm in a dream...



...and I don't want to wake up.




The only problem is...



I'm afraid of getting hurt again.



Wish me luck.

Just a quickie.  Back at work now .... some things never change or at least they do so in only "geologic time".

No doubt friends and family have seen Josh's pics on the White Water Rafting ... yahoo ... still feel the thrill of 15 ft waves.

SORRY, nothing exciting to write about this morning. I will blog tonight after I get some "juicy material" to write about ....

ciao ciao

Going to Kentucky for the weekend... should be fun.

Ummm I guess that's it. Im going to bed now.

 

You know what? Getting Christian advice for my problem from someone else who is surviving the situation is the best thing I could've ever done.

I'm ready to start the fight.

And I won't give up this time.

Alright.  This announcement is on behalf of my parents.  CCCF stands for College and Career Christian Fellowship.  What's happening is that on this Saturday night, and several Saturdays throughout the summer, we are having a shindig at my house for all college kids and those that are gonna be seniors in high school (for a smooth transition just like AP classes).  We're just gonna hang out, play some games, and eventually have just a little prayer around the camp fire at the end.  This isn't affiliated with any church or denomination in particular.  It's just an opportunity for the college kids and the close-to-college kids to have some fellowship and be around some other Christian individuals.  I hope you guys can make it, cuz it should be lots of fun.  Just bring a lawn chair and we'll take care of the rest!  Oh, and it's from 6-10:30pm.  

So we went to the doctor yesterday, and found out we're going to have a baby girl around the beginning of November. It's so cool to see the how much she's grown in just 2 months. She actually looks like a baby now.

It was a big relief to see that everything is developing right on schedule, and her heartbeat was strong. Here's a picture of our beautiful little girl:

I figured out something tonight.... Sometimes it takes me to go up and talk to a person, instead of waiting on them.  You never know what the other person thinks.  As far as you know, they are just as mortified to talk to you as you are to them.  Yep, that's life.

But on a more serious side, the key to living on this earth is to know that you are exactly where you need to be, even with all the mistakes and the could-be's that passed you by.  Remember that from the foundations of time, what you're doing now, and what you will do is already known and worked into the Great Plan.  But this doesn't mean to give up and let life find you asleep, live that life that dreams are made of.  Your dreams are real, and they are waiting to come true.

And that dream--is happiness with the One and Only. For ever.

Ahem, i am not dating joshua pipes.

He just so happens to be a good friend of mine.

"'God, where are You in this?' my heart cried. 'I am Your child. All my life, You know I have longed for something beautiful. I have searched for true love. Does a pure and perfect romance even exist in this dark world of lust and perversion and sin? Should I even dare to dream of something beyond the shallow, meaningless, cheap version of love I've known so far?' Then came a soft, gentle tugging upon my heart. Suddenly I somehow knew that my life did not need to be this way and that God had something better for me. It was almost as if God Himself was reminding me, I am the Author of true love; I am the Creator of romance."

Tonight I played Alden on Xbox. We played Baseball. I totally killed him. I beat him 20-10. It was just sad. I hit a total of 6 homeruns. It was rediculous. Alden whenever you get good please call me and maybe I'll play you.Till then Im the champ of All Star Baseball 2005 !!!!

Wow these past few days have been really tough! All i wanted to do is CRY AND CRY! Last night the man i know that i will marry some day decided that he wants to take a break and see if there is someone else out there for him! We cried last nite together for hours! You see he has another girlfriend right now and her name is Tiara! That hearts more than anything in the world. Today is out 11 month anniversary. We both had bought eachother promise rings not long ago and we were gonna give them to eachother tonight! Well tonite we did meet together and got something to eat! We gave eachother the rings and let me tell yah eatching him leave is the hardest thing i will ever have to do! Right before he left he gave me a kiss. I was thinking if he can still kiss me then how does he have feelings for someone else. It really makes absolutely no sense to me right now! He says that he will always be there for me and he willl always come back to me! But.... I was thinking who will i come back to. He will never be there when i really need him to. I am gonna miss him so much! I do not think that i have ever cried about a boy this much. He still wants to go on vaction with me in July. That will be really strange. I still really love him and i promised that i wouldn't be the CRAZY EX. I also said that i will wait for hime to call from now on. I wont call him. I am not completely sure that that is the right thing to do right now. I just dont see how a person can say i love you and not want to be with them anymore. He is my first love and i will always love him. After he left i was like what am i gonna do now? I have blown off and lost all my friends because i devoted my life to him. Then when he was like go and make plans with your friends and he still doesn't understand that i dont have any. It really sucks. on my long long long drive home tonite i just cried all the way. I said i couldnt do this and i dont think that i will be able to. It is just really hadr for me to accept that right now he has his arm around another girl. I do wonder if he is thinking of me and that GOODBYE kiss that he gave me tonite. I have the worst stomach ache of my life! I just afraid of what is going to happen in the future. I REALLY REALLY REALLY just want him back right now!

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME? WHY DO I ALWAYS GET MY HEART BROKEN?????

...She's been staring down the demons

Who've been screaming

She's just another so and so,

Another so and so

...You are golden, Child
Don't let go...


...You're a lonely soul in a land of broken hearts

You're far from home, it's a perfect place to start...

-Switchfoot, "Golden"

Took a walk with you
In the shadow of my shoes
Danced around the broken blues
In the dirty summer rain
Moonlight on the cars
Parked in single file at bars
With a thick and rosy smoke
Waving its busted hand

Bringing you down, can't bring you down
Bring you down, can't bring you down
Bring you down, can't hear the sound
Run through the river and into town
Pretty little moon with it's head hung down
Chin up. Cheer up. -ryan a.

--------------everyday has lyrics-------------------

what a looong day. i havent done anything...ive been thinking alot about governors school and i keep finding myself just wanting to go ..get there and be happy..just get away from everything.... all i did today was swing under a tree, listen to music, and paint.. . .summer is alright with me

Nemanjas goodbye party was so fun...especially when everyone was gone and the rest of us layed around on couches and played games...then..brian drove me to my car and we threw cheese at peoples mailboxes..ha.. and you cant forget reading the labels of aquafina bottles seductively..ha..

i think tomorrow morning at 6 a bunch a kiddos are meeting at cracker barrell to say some goodbyes to nemanja and brian...so come ..you might see me there (i dont like mornings)

love -kels

So it is another day in the life of me. Well, I went to work this morning at 8:00. I am so tired. I only had to work until noon. But who knew that the kids at the YMCA could be so rowdy???? I am not allowed to sit down at all. And Toshua called me tonight and asked me to cover a shift for her tomorrow. So I am working at 8:00 until 11:00. That is okay. I will get more hours that way. TJ was off today so he came over at like 1:00 and we went swimming. Then we watched TV and went to the mall. I got me some more work pants. Then we went to Wal-Mart and I got me some off-brand Crocs. I am for sure going to wear them to work tomorrow. Well, I am going to go now. So I will talk to everyone later. This is my favorite song... It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!!!!!!!!!!!

today i was thinking (for once) about our generation.

What new our generation has grown up on:

iPods, Computer (Mac, PC, etc.), Blogging (Myspace, Phusebox, etc.) and much more

USA Today puts it this way, "They're young, smart, brash. They may wear flip-flops to the office or listen to iPods at their desk. They want to work, but they don't want work to be their life."

But what are we going to be remembered by. So many of the generations before have been remembered for something.

The 20's- the depression

The 70's- Hippies

What will we as a generation be remembered by?? Will we be remembered by those things listed above or will they know us by something. you might be thinking Stephen what else would there be? Well the scripture puts it best, "they will know us by our LOVE!" Will we remembered by the love we show each other and how God brought revival to this nation or we will just fall out and be remembered by something far less valuable.

Will we be remembered like the 1886-1908 generation as the Missionary Awakening or just some other sily generation.

 Just a thought- stephen

"1.6 billion Chinese are angry with Jack Bauer.
Sounds like a fair fight."

The Hundredth Billionth crayola crayon produced was periwinkle blue.

The US government does not allow the portrait of a living person on a stamp.

There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar.

Penguins only mate once a year and it doesn't last more than 10 seconds.

Babies don't have knee caps when they are born.

Money is made out of cotton, not paper.

Rubber bands last longer when refidgerated.

Until the 1960's men with long hair were not allowed in Disney World.

Boys are stupid.

So Jeff called me today and told me that the room change happened and we're roommates now! Yay! I'm so excited that we get to go to Old Time Pottery and use my discount of 15% wootwoot. That store has everything...

I'm going to Nashvagas tomorrow morning, yay. I'm also getting my haircut...not so yay. Who knows...it might be the last one for a while. Lol. Lyndsey thinks that I should not cut my hair while away to make my mom upset...but send home pictures of me slowly turning into a gungy-grunge. I laugh. Rire.

New York on Monday!!! I can't tell you guys how exciting that is! I'll be going to see Wicked and some other show...not sure which one yet...but that's about all I'm excited about, lol. Sure, Statue of Liberty....but I mean, WICKED, on BROADWAY!! Woot. It's like sold out until 2007 now, I dunno how we got tickets.

After that, I get to come home for like...4 days and then leave to Ms. Kattentidt's house. That shall be hardy-har-har. We're supposedly going to help at this camp for kids that come from not so great homes, and play for them. [Pirate music.] The next day, we're supposed to go to the lake and take fun pictures of us being dumb. Friday I assume I shall teach her how to waltz like a mo'fo as we go on our "date" hehe. Marching band junk on Saturday along with Family Guy (hopefully), driving to Arkansas for lunch w/ Abby's horn friend on Sunday. Sunday night and Monday I assume is orientation unless things change or I have my dates wrong, oh well.

Ion Balu e-mailed me saying he was going to send me a "Got mutes?" shirt and a coffee mug along with my mute. Hehe, I love my Romanians.

Have you ever just hated money?

i like questions i can answer.......
like this one today....
as 3 year old Ethan pointed up he asked me,

"Is that the sky?"

It is morally unjustifiable for one's day to suck before the person in question has even gone to bed for it.

TOMORROW

CRACKER BARREL

6 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

LAST CHANCE TO SEE ME BEFORE I LEAVE.

BE THERE OR I WILL CRY. OR KILL YOU. OR CRY AND KILL YOU.

THAT IS ALL FOR NOW.

I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW OR AFTER THE 26TH.

CIAO.

Bonjour mes amis,

I got a french cell phone for a month. My number is 01133684165652. It will cost you a little bit of money. But you just may wanna talk to a long lost friend that is in Europe. I will try to put up some pictures later.

Au revior,

Jason

Jonathan's plane leaves today.  The Air Force ppl made him check into a hotel in Nashville last night so we all had to say our goodbyes yesterday.  I can honestly say that that was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.  He will be gone for a little over 6 monthes.  We can go down there when he graduates from Basic in 6 weeks, but I doubt if I get to go.  I don't know if I can make it 6 weeks much less 6 monthes, and I don't think I have ever cried so much in my life.  I really do believe that when you love one person that much that the hardest thing you will ever do (if you're only in high school that is) is have to watch them leave knowing that if u need some one to talk to you can't just call them up or go visit them.  All I'll be doing is righting letters, and I can't even start doing that untill I get his address.

Since Daniel was born, I've been extremely careful when I've been driving.  I don't speed, I don't take risks, I brake early and slowly.  So, of course, I got rear-ended while sitting in traffic.  Last Friday, I was sitting at a red light, telling Daniel we'd see Grandpa in just a minute when a car slammed into my rear bumper at 25-30 mph.  Daniel started screaming like a banshee and I, of course, panicked.  Luckily, a nice British gentleman pulled over and "rang the police" for us and I called my Dad, who got there entirely too quickly.  (THANKS DAD!)  Out of the four people in the car that hit me, none spoke English.  We had some doubts as to whether or not they are here legally, as when asked by the police where they lived, none of the four seemed to remember.  The driver, however, was, I'm assuming, since his insurance was completely legitimate.  My insurance company is dealing with them now.  The rear bumper has to be fixed, as does the muffler, and a small scratch on the lift gate.  All in all, over $1400 worth of damage, but it's all fixable, and what is money for, if not to use it when you need it?  Daniel and I were not hurt at all, and aside from the muffler, the damage was cosmetic.  We were VERY lucky!  Aside from that, the week at my parents' was very low-key.  I cooked at their house most nights, which was fun. 

On a different note, the Today show is doing a segment on teaching your children to be healthy eaters.  They say that the number one vegetable for children under 2 is french fries and half of children under 2 have candy every day.  Most of you know my opinion of feeding your children that kind of nonsense.  If you want to see a walking advertisement for reasons to eat healthy foods, walk into Wal-Mart and see how many massively overweight children there are.  ARGH.

I am about to head off to work. Another great weekend. Saturday after working some I went out to the house for Joshua and Jonathan's birthday party, had fun out there, I talked with Dad for a while, played Need for Speed on the gamecube, went swimming in the pool, and watched most of The Last Samurai. Sunday after playing bass for church we took the boat out again, it was awesome, I went skiing, kneeboarding, tubing, and wakeboarding. We had a full boat which made the wake absolutly great, I got more air on skis than I have ever gotten before. It was lots of fun. I will have a few pics later.

11 days intill i leave to pa

Hey Encounter  is back tuesday at 7:07pm  for all college and career age 18-30 come and bring your friends!........

so im in minnesota & i love this place.  weve boated & fished & made smores!  its so beautiful.

"some people walk in the rain... others just get wet." - Roger Miller

so today i watched the rain and the lightning out the giant wondow in the front of the house and watched and thought and watched and thought

its so beautiful up here

it makes you go WOW God Your totally the bomb!!!

i also put a grill together and put up some shelving in the laundry room

tomorrow ill be back on the lake if the weather allows

- milly

so, i'm feeling much better today. God's given me a real peace about it. i dunno what that means, but i'm sure it's good.

in other news, do me this one favor:

if you've ever liked me at all, tell me at some point soon. i'd just like to know. maybe i liked you too...haha.

so nayways, some people kinda stir my apples lately...oh well. i'll live. secondly, others make me smile. you've just gotta wonder what's going on when you find someone whom you have just about everything in common with and can talk to forever...and then they have to move away...what is this? who knows...but i know i'll make it. it's just no fun when it seems like things are dangled in front of you, only to be taken away. but i've got to keep reminding myself that God is not like that, and he doesn't want to harm me. i realize how narrow my vision is in the grand scheme of things, so i just need to shut up and let him do what he does best, which is everything. i think that i am going to make a committment not to date at all in high school. not because i'm sad and lonely, or because i think guys are stupid, or because i am trying to get something out of God, but because i think maybe He's calling me to do that. also, be praying for me about whether or not i'm going to go on the New Jersey Mission Trip on July 8th-16th...i feel like, thru my quiet times and prayer that God is wanting me to go, but He's gonna hafta provide those means, especially financially. so yeah. we'll see. nayways, much love to you all! ----Cari

This is Jessica in human and Superhero form:

And then here is a picture of some dashing-ly handsome black man(I wonder who he is) holding Grace in some kind of Balcony-Garden:

. . . to another part of the house :) I had the brilliant idea of cleaning out our garage-turned into a normal room and letting me move all my stuff in there. I would have more space, more privacy, and my own entrance. The only problem is figuring out what to do with one of the couches and a table/chair set.

I finally got the last six months worth of pictures developed so that I could scrapbook them. I came home, planning to do at least a Taevan's Lube Center and playground layout, but when I finished the Taevan's layout and turned the page to start the playground, I realize I ran out of sheets. Now I have to go buy more. Boo.

My cousin Marla gave me the okay to take pictures of her daughters this weekend. I'm most definitely looking forward to that. I think we're going to Cannonsburgh.

life is the most exciting thing there has ever been on earth...
without things moving breathing earth would be no different than all of the other planets in the solar system and  it would all be rocks.
and yet everyone isn't happy with life
they must have money
clothes
fame
fortune
what would everyones lives be like if everyone was selfless
communism would work out
and it wouldn't be a bad thing
everyone could use their talents for the better and we wouldn't have all these bad things in the world.
if everyone stopped and thought about other's feelings would the suicide rate would drop??yes. how much? half ??75%??
everyone is so selfish
we have celebrities buying billion dollar houses when half of india's population doesn't even live in what we could call a shelter....
they dig through garbage for a living and we think it's the end of the world to empty it out. it's sad that the money we pay for one ipod, one cell phone bill could feed an african family for months? that they sell their daughters on the street corners just to get fed ? and we live such horrible lives, we have "mean" teachers who assign projects homecoming weekend. we have to wear last years designer shirts for another month. we can't get that cd on the premier date.

it's such a travesty......
we americans are suffering from a terrible disease and it's name is

So today I went job searching, I need a job and I'm poor, so yea, right now Jason's Deli is looking the best just b/c Laura worked there and they know her and they need a cashier.
and my bank is being stupid, and it looks like I'm going to have to pay about 60 dollars for 3 checks that came out to be only about 25, yea it sucks but my mom made me feel better about it today, but it still majorly sucks
On the other hand Girls State Was AMAZING!!! I had a blast and I can't express in words what it was like, however I know that if I go to MTSU (which I don't plan too) and stay in their dorms I will have showers that are too short for me, and a room that is very much to small for all my STUFF! However the KUC Grill was good, and I ate there most of the week, I also got to see fellow Murfreesboro people so that was cool, andyways I'm done, have a great day all!


^^^This is an idea of what the week was like, I know crazy!!!

how do u know when uve found the one?  some might say its just the feeling.  but we are still too young to know right?  how can we know if we have not had time to go out there and find out for sure if that person is the one?  we follow love blindly and it corrupts us.  of course love is better than hate, is it not?  k, well im not sure if this entry made very much sense to u guys.  im not even sure if it makes sense to me...

well talk to yall later!

Alright.  I think I should say something- sort of as a disclaimer, more as an explanation since people can't read my mind.

Often on Phusebox I will see posts that attract my attention.  I will comment on them if I feel I have something worthwhile to say.  Sometimes this is just a word of encouragement to someone that I don't even know, other times it is a more serious and involved comment.  I attempt, if I feel I can, to offer my perspective to any problems presented on the blogs of any certain individual.  Here is where I think I need to explain...

When I offer my advice or my opinion, I personally understand it to be just that- mine.  I don't expect for anyone to change their life or their minds based on what I say.  I do not want to convert anyone to my beliefs because I strongly believe that beliefs are only personal and are different for each individual.  I do however, in my commenting, hope to challenge the individual to look at their beliefs about everything and know what and why they believe what they do.  If they don't know what they think, I am challenging them to figure it out.  I think it is important to think about all the issues in one's life and decide what one thinks using the tools one has available to make decisions in this area.  I hope to challenge people to not be spoon-fed ideas or information but to seek out their own answers.  I think this makes a stronger individual.  I feel it to be of utmost importance to present this challenge whenever possible to help people more clearly formulate their ideas for the betterment of themselves.  Again, I do this only out of the love I have to see people grow, mature, and develop their ideas and themselves.  I hope to be a counselor one day and continue this on a larger scale. 

I hope this clears up any misconceptions people might have about my motives on phusebox.  I have noticed that most people on here probably do not think anywhere near the way I do, and that is more than okay.  I do respect those differences when they are well-formulated.  I feel it is good, also, to present a different side to individuals when any issue comes up.  I will offer that if I feel knowledgeable about the subject and feel I have something worthwhile to say.  Please understand this.

I come in peace :)

Now, here's an interesting topic, discussed today in my art class, which I would like your opinion on.

What is art?

What isn't art?

If someone painted a white canvas white, would you consider that art?

I'm So BORED!!! I'm over at Holly's house and she talking on aim. I went to see the Davinci Code..(hope I spelled that right)..we went to Expresso Joes after! Oh its soooooo good...I love coffee.

I went to the river yesterday with Kyle, Matt, Cole, and LS. Omg. It was so much fun. I've never been on a jetski before and it was awesome as hell. Kyle tried to get me to wakeboard, but there is no way in hell I was getting in that muddy river...My legs are sore from clinging to the side of the jetski. Anyways.... I have a week and 6 days until I turn 18. Thank God. I don't know what I'm going to do.

well i was watching the news yesterday and i saw that the aclu was fighting to let sex offenders be around children i was like ARRRGGG that just got under my skin like there was no tomarrow and i just wanted to blow up their facility because of all the political correctness. i mean cmon these sex offenders have proved that they cannot control themselves and are completely sick and the aclu wants to HELP THEM. and allow them to be around children that right there gets me to the point to where their leader must be of satan

this is one of my favorite songs  "Fix You" by:Coldplay

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
when you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears streaming down your face and I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Espero que cada uno tenga un día impresionante. Tengo balompié esta noche a partir de la 6-8 así que seré detrás atrasado.

Tonight will be a quick email because we only have a few minutes on
the computer tonight, but what is really exciting is the fact that we
had our first Kids Klub (VBS) tonight.  It was really cool.  Kinda
confusing but we just had to go with the flow.  We got interupted
shortly by some older kids who wanted our sports balls so that was
scary for me at least but no confrontation really happened.  The
translator took care of it.  The kids were so loving, it was amazing
to see.  We wore Biblical constumes and the whole theme was Jerusalem.
 Kinda neat because these kids don't have any idea.  And it's so sad
because they want sooo much for any type of love because their home
life is so bad.  This isn't your normal VBS either because the kids
don't know structure and the resources are limited so kids come in and
out all the time.  One little boy, Dawid (Pronounced like David but
with a little french flair), had mud all over his hands and face and
his front two teeth were all black and he looked like he had had a
shower in days.  He smelled of urine and fecal matter but he was so
loving and sweet you couldn't help but love the boy.  This boy was so
excited to draw on some paper and get a hug by an American that
nothing else mattered that much.  Until you really see these
conditions you can't understand. You can't walk outside without
worrying your feet will be cut by glass.  It's disheartening, but the
moral of the story is that these kids just want love and that's what
we're here to do, so that's amazing to me!  So, until next time...

AHHHHHH!!!!!!! I JUST WANT TO SCREAM!!!!!!!!! WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE SO DANG CONFUSING!!!????

What is up? well i have been trying to find a job for the past few weeks and it seems that no one is hiring right now, that totaly sucks. lets see besides that nothing has really happened. this week i will probably still look for a job and that might be it.

Andrew

I'm a wreck here lately, and i can't explain it...

So if i've done anythig to piss you off, or will probubly do something to piss you off soon... i'm sorry

Get it?  Procrastination?  Huzzah for Latin, eh?

Yeah... I'm supposed to be cleaning my room right now.  Not because I was told to, but because my room is so messy that it's driving me effin' insane.  You'd think that if it bothered me that much I wouldn't have any problem getting off my butt and doing something about it.

However, it would appear that I have developed a rather serious allergy to work.  Who knew?

Gaaaah.  I have too much junk.  And not enough places to put it.  Anyone out there a good organizer who's willing to help me figure out what the heezy to do with all this crap?

I would smile real big at you and be your fwiend...  : p  Pfft.  Like I'd let you see my room in the first place.  It's freaking embarassing.

Well, after my room is done, which will probably take the next few days, I can clean my bathroom!  That'll take a day.  Then I can clean my car!  That should only take a few hours.

Oh hoo-ray.
