Ups and downs

October 13 2006
So this semester has really tested my faith...I've done well in some areas but I still feel that emptiness...I've done things I wish I didn't but we all make mistakes...I've become stronger because of them but it feels like I'm getting farther away...My trust has been tested and I know I have failed...my patience wears thin and I feel like I'm about to break...I need God more than ever...He has gotten me through so much and without Him I don't know where I would be...He has tested alot of friendships and thank You for getting rid of the bad ones...thankyou for making me realize money has no power over me...Ever since highschool I've gone back to my depression but God always seems to save me from my own insanity...I can't imagine my life without Him...I was so blessed this summer when I went to Dominican Republic...I would give anything to go back there...that place made me feel at peace and I was away from all distractions and all the drama that constantly pulls me down...I thought I would die alone but the whole time You were by my side...Thankyou for keeping my head on straight and making me refocus...without You I would be nothing...You have saved my life and I praise You for it. From the bottom of my heart I love you and I wish there was a way for me to repay you for saving my life. These tears are not only pain but also joy because when I feel the lowest and I feel like I can't go on...You keep me going and I know I can do anything through You. You are my strength and my rock. You are my best friend. No one will ever break our bond. We are unbreakable. Keep me strong and don't let these wordly temptations take me away. I don't want to go back to where I was...I love you...and I always will. You are my one and only true love. You are my desire...thankyou for each breathe I take...I love you forever and into eternity

DR

May 09 2006
Hey guys!! At the beginning of July I'm going to the Dominican Republic!! I know how crazy is that...anywho in the DR a person makes a $100 a month=around $1200 a year. I'm going with many others to help try to finish building an orphanage that they've been building for 5 years. If you guys would like to donate money to help buy materials so we are able to keep building it would be amazing if you could. God works in mysterious ways and its so true. If you would like to donate some doesn't even have to be alot call me, find me, text me...whatever! I can't wait for July because its going to be a life changing experience and that...I can't wait!!

Mmm hmm

Life

February 08 2006

Introduce yourself in one bold, honest paragraph.


I'm Erica Ezell and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshmen at MTSU majoring in Elementary Education....?.....I love to dance!! I've done ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop....I love to act!! I was in Pride in middle school and Theater all in highschool. I go to Calvary Baptist Church!! And boy do I love Jesus!! I work at Carmike Cinemas in town....find me and I'll let you in free!!


Tell me what people think about you.


Many people say I'm really funny, a great listener, caring....Some say I'm kinda boring? because I don't go out and do drugs and drink? My bad....I didn't know that stuff was considered "cool"....Some people say I should be on SNL!! I would love that!!   

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I let people walk all over me...When I should speak up about God I don't....I get angry easily towards my family...sometimes they deserve it but sometimes they don't...

Have you ever felt at home with someone?
My  best friend Rhanda! Honestly...she is the only one I can really depend on...I can tell her anything and I know she wouldn't tell...

Describe your appearance.


5'5'', shoulder length hair, dark brown with two chunky blonde streaks,blue eyes, average....

Biggest revelation to date?
That God is always there for me!! So many times I've pushed Him away thinking I could go without Him in this World....but I go crazy without Him!! His beauty will never fade in my eyes!! I've felt Him near and I just can't explain the feeling....it was AMAZING...Give total control...



Biggest issue weighing you down?
Not giving God more of my time! I'm sorry...

Theme song?


"Goodbye My Lover" James Blunt


Give me some final parting advice.
Listen to your elders!! They know what they are talking about!! And to all of you Freshmen!!! Do really good in school because your freshmen year is your most important one!! Thats where your GPA starts and if you screw up its hard to fix it!! Study hard!!Don't get stuck at MTSU!!

Guess What!!!

We then went to the reception which was alright....


Saturday- Brunch. Looking for some shopping. Went to eat some NASTY pizza. Watched Fantastic 4.

Never ending disappointment

October 03 2005
What has happened to that little happy girl inside me? So many ups and downs...it always feels like my day is going to get better...and then it always comes tumbling down...Nothing to look forward to...walking towards something or someone I'll never get...shot down...walking all over my heart...never ending pain in my broken heart...Always screaming in my "perfect All American" home...never find a sense of peace...feeling pointless...why is it I'm stuck here alone and no one is here to save me? I've got to find some way to make it better...got to make it better...cause I don't think I'll make it through this never ending disappointment...what happened to that little happy girl? Did she leave me to die here alone....when will I ever be happy? Maybe later today maybe tomorrow? Or will it be followed by another never ending disappointmet? I am my own never ending disappointment...
