been playing a lot of tennis. very enjoyable

ultimate frisbee tonight at church!! : )

friday i leave for Northern Ireland, another mission trip : ) but i'm really not looking forward to another long plane ride. Delta made the flight to Ecuador insanely awful.. hate hate hate delta. this time i'm flying u.s. scareways. doubtful it'll be much better.

whats not to like?

good bye family

who wants to help save emily?!!

May 29 2006
this is Kelsey Shearron... and i am the very concerned friend of dear emily windham...

if you havent heard shes been forced to go to a Nazi camp held at MTSU for the remander of the week! (aka GIRLS STATE)

first you must understand that emily DOES NOT like her own sex at all ...she does not understand the concept of make-up or girl talk or socializing or the color pink

two, you must know.. there isnt a drop of testosterone in this Nazi camp

three, if you know em...you know that singing and politics are NOT her thing at all! emily cannot carry a tune...she doesnt enjoy singing in front of large groups of shiny clean barbie-like girls and she most definitely does not want to sit in a meeting all day discussing the means of politics!

she asked me to also inform you that she has forgotten the sweet feeling of what summer is supposed to be like and can no longer remember what a computer looks like....

pray hard kids!

love-kels

NASHILLE  4, SAN JOSE  3
















































Series: Nashville 1, San Jose 0



NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Nashville Predators signed Paul Kariya to boost their postseason hopes. He showed them just how effective he can be when it matters most.




Adam Hall scored the go-ahead goal at 12:06 of the third period by
redirecting a shot by Kariya, who assisted on all four of Nashville's
power-play goals. That carried the Predators to a 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Friday in the opener of the first-round Western Conference series.




"Anytime your best player gets on the scoreboard, you usually do win," Predators center Mike Sillinger said of Kariya.




"He finds a way to pick up points, and that's what your best players have to do to be successful. He makes great plays. He's got great speed, great vision. He's a scorer, he's a passer."




















Game 2 is Sunday afternoon in Nashville.




"It's a good start for us," said Kariya, who has 11 points in his last
four games. "It's going to be a long series. That's a great hockey club over there. Our power play was clicking tonight, and (Chris Mason) Mase played very well and managed to get the win."









I got to find some way to get to the game on Sunday!

I love this man! An assist on all 4 goals. What a beast!

wow. can't believe this trip is finally here.

i know God is going to move in ways i can't even imagine.

i'm so excited about that.


i would really appreciate your prayers.

i'm kind of nervous about this trip.

i know God is in control and will take total care of me and my group.

i guess i'm just nervous about things like sharing my testimony.

i'm just so A.D.D. i'm having trouble focusing.

i hope everyone has a wonderful and safe spring break.

You are bread where there is hunger
In the desert You are thunder
You are all we need, all we need
You are peace where men would riot
In the turmoil there is quiet
You are all we need, all we need

I want the world to know
There is one shining hope
I want the world to know You

To the broken You bring healing
To the heart of stone revealing
You are all we need, all we need
You are friendship to the lonely
The forever one and only
You are all we need, all we need

I want the world to know
The story must be told
I want the world to know the Truth
I want the world to know
There is one shining hope
I want the world to know You

You are love where there is hatred
You are life and You are sacred
You are all we need, all we need

I want the world to know
The story must be told
I want the world to know the Truth
I want the world to know
There is one shining hope
I want the world to know You

What if you're right
He was just another nice guy
What if you're right
What if it's true
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true

What if He takes His place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love, and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then

But what if you're wrong
What if there's more
What if there's hope
You never dreamed of hoping for
What if you jump
Just close your eyes
What if the arms that catch you
Catch you by surprise
What if He's more than enough
What if it's love

What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more than fokelore that must be told
And retold

But what if you're wrong
What if there's more
What if there's hope
You never dreamed of hoping for
What if you jump
Just close your eyes
What if the arms that catch you
Catch you by surprise
What if He's more than enough
What if it's love


'Cause you've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land
For so long
But what if you're wrong

What if you jump
Just close your eyes
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise
What if He's more than enough
What if it's love

What if it's love



have a great week!

who should take the beating?

January 27 2006


so i got a question..
 lets suppose you are cleaning your parents bathroom, listening to your ipod. you have no idea that your older brother is randomly home. you exit the bathroom holding a bottle of windex. he jumps out and screams. in fright you scream and drop the windex unknowlingly. you tackle your brother. throw him on the bed. beat him and yell alot. you then go eat supper with your brother and family. come back to the bathroom. see the windex on the carpet. pick it up. and realize it has leaked all over parent's bedroom carpet. you soaked it up w/ a towel and put resolve carpet cleaner on it. however the next day you realize there is this big dull blue spot on the carpet.


so.. would this be your fault? or your brother's?


my mom hasn't notice yet somehow. but its just looming there waiting for her to discover it. this won't be pretty.




on another note.
i asked someone to formal!
it took a heck of a lot of deliberation.
as i went back and forth on several guys.
got super close to asking like 3 other people.
but my final choice was a mcfadden alumnus, tucker netherton!
i figure its a good choice
since i will probably spend the entire night
with other mcfadden alumni, kelsey and josh.


i think i'm going dress shopping tomorrow. ugh. not exactly my thing.



one final note.
kacie brewer rocks!
she saved my butt today through chips, salsa and the buddy system.
no need for explanation.



have a good weekend!


i do believe its true

January 23 2006


the best senior class ever.
i love these guys so much.
i don't think they realize how much i and everyone else in the youth group looks up to them.
its going to be incredibly hard to let them go.




the best youth group ever.
so big. and i love it. gosh i love them all!



PREDATORS JUST BEAT THE RED WINGS!!
are you pumped?! better be pumped!
i'm pumped!

then lately i've been hanging with the kelsey of course. : )


yesterday we de-wallpapered my house. we started at noon and didn't finished til past 10! it was crazy hard work.. but gangsta rap helped us stay focused. but yeah did i mention it was hard work? crazy hard? we did a two story wall on my stairs plus a big hallway. but the stairs was a beast to get done. but we did it! and we're proud.

so then today my dad took us to ICE! at opry mills.. it was colllld but amazing! very awe inspiring.

ohhh the weather outside is frightful..

December 07 2005

Guess who just order their BLACK VIDEO 30GB IPOD!!! :)!!!!



Dear God,

Let it SNOW!!!

Thanks!
Love,
Emily








heyyy its me and my baby!







areas where i am trying to improve my self discipline:
1. doing homework, studying, and not procrastinating.
2. running or doing weights at the Y.
3. getting more sleep.

lets say i'm failing miserably in all three.





so i wanna do a little blurb on honesty:
one of the reasons i hate high school is the relationships. not just dating, but friendships too. friendships, dating, everything would be so much more enjoyable if everyone would be straight up with each other. i'm not saying be brutally honest. some people just use honesty as an excuse to be a jerk. but i have this friend, kelsey, we've been best friends for 5 years. we have such an awesome relationship because we are totally honest with each other. if i'm messing up, the she'll call me out. she's my accountability partner and she helps keep me in line. i just hate when people, esspecially girls play games. i hate manipulative people. all my relationships are so much better when honesty is the foundation.. i just wish people would always be more open. just say straight up where they stand.









so i've felt sick all week. been in some rotten moods. esspecially in 5th P..





going to Chuck E. Cheese tomorrow for the CC banquet. should be interesting.. haven't been with all the guys in a while..





Have I mentioned how much I love God lately? He's just.. incredible..

November 29 2005

i think a list of random thoughts will suffice:



1.  thanksgiving break was too short.
2.  the Annie soundtrack is fantastic to listen to while cleaning
3.  i love going to the MTSU girls' basketball games. i went to 3 last week. i feel like i know them.. like strengths and weaknesses.
4.  kelsey shearron benched me. i'm relieved.
5.  i wish the kings would move back to the boro!
6.  my dog is getting fat. i need to execise her bad.
7.  i need to run. i can't get outta shape. i'll never get back in.
8.  kacie introduced me to a gobstopper candy cane. it was incredible.
9.  i wrote my penpal at riverdale today for spanish class. told him i was thrilled about riverdale losing!
10.i love Christmas music.
11.me and kelsey are going to the jason mraz concert!!
12.for Christmas, I want a camera and an editing system for my computer. how awesome would that be?!
13.i dunno when i'm getting the ipod. i have the money. but mom says they're crazy expensive (true), its only expensive b/c its a popular brand (also pretty true) and that i should to research to see if i can find something cheaper (not a bad idea.)
14.me and sam are incredible at frisbee golf and perfect dark.
15.i think i might go back to Ecuador this summer!!
16.my parents are putting up the FAKE Christmas tree. last year was the first year we've had it. i can't stand it. its Christmas. we need a real tree!!

until then.. have a good week!!


"are you suicidal?" "only in the mornings"

November 03 2005

^quote from ocean's eleven.
my thoughts exactly, brad pitt.







i have to be at andy michael's house at 6:45 in the morning tomorrow.
stupid drama film project. i'm gonna die.



---------



EDIT (i forgot some things..)



1. i think i have shin splints.. it sucks. and hurts.
but it doesn't make sense.. i really don't run hard enough to get them.
2. so i have this great new idea for people that stress out and go crazy.
whenever they start to annoy me.. i'm gonna stick them w/ a tranquilizer syringe.
then they'll become all giddy, then mellow, then just pass out on the floor.
it really helps just to think about doing it to those people. makes me happy.
and i've run this idea by several ppl.. and they all seem to like it.
tranquilizers anyone?



--------









right now only two things seem to matter:
1. i'm getting a car for my birthday [less than two weeks]!!
i'm hoping for another altima. i loved that car.
2. i'm saving my money for a ipod.
none of this nano business. full size of course.










dear my predators,




pull it together guys! ya'll got this! i know it! ya'll have so much to gain. lets do this!




love always,
your [i like to think] biggest fan,
Emily







The ways of this world are grabbing a hold
Won't let me go, won't let me fly by
It takes it's toll down on my soul
'Cause I know what I need in my life
Don't let me lose my sight of You
Don't let me lose my sight
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me on down
I don't want to fall away from You
Gravity is pulling me to the ground
thanks shaun mcdonald.







next d-groups, kelly is outta town.
so i'm stepping up and leading our group
on a bible study about Rachel.
gotta do alotta research.. mm we'll see how this goes..










Woo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly.
Oh-Oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore.
I don't care what they say about us anyway.
I don't care 'bout that.
whatta song!







peaceandlove.
