Well hello again..today was, eh, okay..school is crazy hard, and im feeling a little overwhelmed. But you must know that im okay, because God is i control and ive got a great best friend(emily joy)and an awesome family..

have you ever had one of your close friends completely turn on you and stop talking to you?...or just be extremely rude..well thats happened to me..and i feel so sad..i dont know what ive done or didnt do..so yes..its disappointing..i dont like it when people dont like me b/c of what i believe..which im quessing is the case here.

Tonight is "Bad Fad" night at church..ha...you should see me..ill post pictures...but anyway ive got on  one heck of a crazy outfit!...high socks, scrunchies..the whole sha-bang..:-)

okay so..lyrics and im out..

dance with me, dance with me ..id love to feel you in my arms again

today was going to be the day they were going to throw it back to you, and by now you must realize what it is that you got to do..i dont believe that anybody feels the way i do about you now. all the roads we have to walk are winding, and all the lights that lead the way are blinding...and there are many things that id like to say to you but i dont know how...maybe your gonna be the one that saves me..after all your my wonderwall..(thats for you Lala)-Oasis

are you in or are you out.. leave your things behind cause its all going on without you ...excuse me but youre too busy writing your tragedy ...so let go.. let go.. jump in.. what are you waiting for.. theres beauty in the breakdown. -Frou Frou

LOVE- kels

it was an okay day. life is good.

didnt do much except school..the psat was pretty hard..i thought..

well kids..ive got about two tons of homework so ..bye bye-kels

is so different...for some reason i feel like a new me..

i think it has a lot to do with God teaching me so much lately... annnd. . . .

something is in the air..know what it is?...its fall...

the most beautiful time of the year..and im so excited about it this time...something about clear skies and wind makes me so happy. Have you ever just wanted to stay outside all day and breathe in the air?...gosh i do...i want to quit school and draw and paint everyday..

today seemed so long!...i went to church and then to Dbs then to the drakes house and then home to finish history and chemistry and then back to church for Ron Moore.. and then home and then back to church because my mom left my dad..haha.waay too much.

Kingdom Come:
one.. two.
steal my heart, and hold my tongue
i feel my time, my time has come
let me in, unlock the door
i never felt this way before

and the wheels just keep on turning
the drummer begins to drum
i don't know which way i'm going
i don't know which way i've come.

hold my head, inside your hands
i need someone who understands
i need someone, someone who hears
for you i've waited all these years

for you i'd wait, til kingdom come
until my day, my day is done
and say you'll come, and set me free
just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

in your tears, and in your blood
in your fire, and in your flood
i hear you laugh, i heard you sing
i wouldn't change a single thing

and the wheels just keep on turning
the drummers begin to drum
i don't know which way I'm going
i dont know what i'll become

for you'd i'd wait, til kingdom come
until my days, my days are done
say you'll come, and set me free
just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

love kels

...........................................................................................
There is no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
And no song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia tone loving

Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Why are we here and where do we go
And how come it's so hard -Jack Johnson

Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities, am I a part of the cure, or am I part of the disease -Coldplay

all i need is your love to come and fill this heart of mine my heart is a desert that has gone dry.. -Shawn M

Let's go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours -Lenny Kravitz

All i can say is that my life is pretty plain, i like watching the puddles gather rain - Blind Melon

its as simple as something that nobody knows..i remember when you and me ..oh we used to be.. just good friends.. - Jack J

Something inside the cards
I know is right
Don't want to live
Somebody elses life
This is what I want to be
And this is what I give to you
Because I get it free
She smiles while I do my tie -RHCP

ill sing it one last time for you, then we really have to go..you've been the only thing thats right in a lifetime. and i barely look at you but every single time i do i know well make it anywhere..-snow patrol

in a haze a stormy haze, ill be round ill be lovin you always..always..here i am and ill take my time , here i am and ill wait in line. -Coldplay

-kels

well im trying to emphasize the point that i have no life now that school has started!...im pretty much a living breathing study-o-holic...all i do is read history and do papers..but i suppose thats why junior year is supposed to be so hard, and maybe.. im a exaggerating, but still it is so different...

i went to Ems house and watched Sahara last night.. it was so so good. Matthew McConaughey is BEAutiful.. i also ran into to rachel myers at target...i like target. i got a skin for my ipod..and an icee..what more could i want?...heh...well i love you guys..

ps. keep in your prayers - Luke from paint the town he lives in Biloxi and i havent heard from him...hopefully he wasnt caught in the hurricane.
love-kels

photo from sarah

that has been so true for me these past couple days..

God has really shown up in my life and has seemed to be in everything from a friends words to the sunset.

i dont want to whine, but my Junior year thus far is incredibly packed with responsibility, and tooons of homework..so if you think about me ..pray!

i think this year is going to be really good but its going to be hard!

i love all of you so much and im praying for you!
-kels

so i come home yesterday from work at about 6 30 and im DEAD tired...id been workin since 8 am...so anyways..i come and hit my bed and in about .56899 of a sec my mom bursts in telling me that my grandparents are coming and that i have to help her clean the house..

so i clean till about 9 ish then i ate some leftover stuff and just as i was about to fall into that wonderful magical glorious bed thing.... my dad calls me outside to help with a water leak under the house....

so for the next 4.5 hours i sit in a light drizzle in the darkness on the side of the road with a crow bar waiting for my dads signal to turn the water off or on...

it was quite funny.


then after all that trauma i got up and went to the DBS mother daughter tea, it was interesting, my favorite part was the chocolate covered strawberries.

lol...

so school tomorrow..i really hope theyve got my schedule fixed..

love YOU.

crazy crazy crazy school. (READ THIS)

I wanna serve you my God, I wanna give you all of me

........................................................................................

you are so beyond me
and i fall down in reverence and in fear
im asking you lord to please draw near

All i need is your love to fill this heart of mine..my heart is a desert that has gone dry and i need your love to carry me high.

Rush was fun....i didnt get to be there for Cari which sucked..but i got Emmy...it was halarious..she was so asleep.

i didnt get home till 7 or 8- cant really remember..it was crazy awful to get up at 3 in the afternoon and have to drive to Nashville. I went with my friend David and his girlfriend..fuuun..anyways we went because me and David did a bunch of murals for the Country Music hall of fame...it was cool.. ..

All i Need is You Lord

oooh man. where do i even begin?...the Ny trip was so incredible.
God really challenged all of us to be "fluid" (taking on whatever happens knowing that Gods in control)..i learned so much about having a vision and going after it like a rhino(heh)..

sorry thats a lot but its worth it..love you -kels

well guys ...im so excited God has just been blowing me away! Hes been teaching me sooo much about Faith and simply Believing him, and his great word!

have you ever heard the story of Uzzah??

Uzzah lost his life because he "reached out and took hold of the ark of God" (2 Sam. 6:6). He placed his hands on it with the best of intentions- to steady it as the oxen stumbled - but he had overstepped his bounds by touching the Lords work, and because of that he lost his life...

sounds harsh huh?..thats what i thought too,
but this story shows that - Living a life of Faith often requires us to leave things alone and let God work

if we have completely entrusted something to God, we must keep our hands off of it. And unlike us, he will work in the perfect moment.

"It is such a comfort to drop the entanglementsand perplexities of life into God's hands and leave them there." - Streams in the Desert

so yea that story is awesome..and it taught me alot!...so im going to NY on Sunday for paint the town....ill be painting schools in the Broncs and thats alll i know so far..ha...
