It was fun. i was a tool of  amanda's energy release.. no i was not running from her...i was to get a head start so that she could tackle me. she was successful! twice. i love you Manda Bear! well.. nothing really new here... i wish my 2 friends had either cell phones.. email...aim or some other way for me to communicate with them other than their home phone because i always feel uncomfy calling them there and i barely see them at school ;{ which means i will have to wait a whole 47 hours and 10 minutes until i see them and get to some-what talk to them... sad yes i know. but this is what its like for me at the moment. but i do have good news... no i donot have a licsense so i didnt switch to geicho... i am on skitzo... well have been for a whole week and will be performing in the skit this Wed. Night. can't wait for everyone to see it. and i hope it ministers to some one if not everyone. but because i am now in skitzo. it will not allow me to be on the guest reception team. but i feel peace about it because i am being used in ministries else where. well thats all for now.. because i have school tomorrow. man i still have 12 bugs to catch for biology, not fun! mainly beetles. later!

well thats all...

Today was the start of a whole nother year at Riverdale, full of new surprises, friends, triles, and drama. For the most part, i should enjoy this school year. This morning i arrived more than 20 minutes early due to dropping emily off at central... caught up with a few of my friends , some have changed and some haven't, and then had trouble finding my way back through this parrallel world that is filled with 2200 teenagers, most having a different mission in mind. well, here is my schedule:

1st and homeroom- Geometry-no teacher so far...and is in the newly added portable 8. 2nd- World Geography- Coach Messer- Annex AN-4. 3rd- English 2- Welch- E-4. 4th- French 2 Honors-Truax- Annex BN-4. 5th- Biology Honors-Smith- C-7. 6th- currently Chorus but i want to switch to Visual Art- currently Adams but want to change to some one else,lol, to put it simply.

Well, thats all for now! ttyl! oh..yay for amanda... she advanced in her human video!

well, i am back. from TEXAS. where dairy queen is their stop sign. <interesting but true fact>. well not much to say now. I've missed every one like crazy and can't wait til school starts <for the friends>...lol. can't wait until everyone gets back from fine arts. Hope ya'll place! in something! anything...lol...jk! well, not much to say now...oh yea...since last school year... i've lost 2 and i proudly say 2 dress sizes...YAY. i would have to say my fave part of gettin ready for school is the shopping! lol. for clothes that is. well see everyone tomorrow... or thursday! love Ya

Hey does anyone know who all has NFL rings in the youth group?

I'm tryin my hardest to suck it up and get my work done but i'm gonna miss everyone...

If you already don't know, I will be leaving to Texas tomorrow and will be there for 2 weeks straight and will not be returning until August 8th :{

But yesterday was awesome! Amanda taught Sunday school and it was awesome. I could tell the class was in tune with it and a few of their toes got stepped on...in a good way. If there is a good way?!?!

Last night me and Terry talked... i've been tryni to get a hold of him but every attempt has come to a dead of complete with failure. So if you see him Wed. night (cause obviously i won't be here) please let him know i need to talk to him and give him my cell #... if you don't know my cell #... Karus does and Specca does and Jaime does... i'm not sure if anyone else does but every day i am suprised by things god has put in my temporary path.

I will be finishing up the primer and painting in my room when we get back from Texas... and i am thinking for the accent colors a Light/Warm Taupe... a Deep Teal... and a Warm Orange.. sort of reminds me of Arizona..but i likie!...any other ideas post and i will try to check.

To everyone who is going to Fine Arts without Moi... I wish i could be there! I thought i would be home for the next 2 weeks but plans change...

Semi-unknown fact: i have missed all of the Wed. Night lives of this summer! : { ... i missed the one in june due to kids camp and am gonna miss the one this week due to the trip to Texas.

Man.. i hate it when this happens...the people you are tryin to get ahold of... well you used to have your number in your address book but you've lost it... you also had it in your phone but accidentaly deleted it... thought you could try to contact them through phusebox but they don't have one... :{

Well, I'll Miss yall and will see ya when i get back for Texas... for the past... Longest time ever...i went to My grandparent's house while they lived in California like for months at a time... but those months seemed like weeks because i didn't have friends to come home to...but ever since i moved here... 2 weeks seems like forever because i have friends that actually get along with...and guys i am friends with... :{ i'm really gonna miss you guys and i'm sorry if i didn't get a chance to say bye to you sunday night... i tried my hardest to say bye to everyone there...

Well i'm already counting down the days until i get back!

Love always... Krista

}{The Cheez Stands ALoNE}{ this message was brought to you by.. oh who cares

Camp was great...as expected. Go Cheetos! All was fun and dandy. I met a few new people and grew closer to those who i have already known. I have started doing a devo. everyday. It was difficult to start at first but i am doing a 30 day study of the book of Psalms and so far it has been encouraging beyond belief. Since i have started it, i have noticed how much more insync I am with God than i was before. Also, it seems alot easier to do tasks or fast when i am praying and reading god's word than it was when i wasn't. I will never forget this year's experience at Camp Jackson. I can't wait until next year. I can't wait until Kid's camp either.

Well, there is not much that i have left to talk about. Scratch that, there is nothing left for me to talk about. If there is anything i forgot...?!?!

you know where to find me...

I know this post is a little delayed but last night i went to go see X-men The Last Stand... it was ok... i guess... it went the way i expected it to go.... but now i can't wait until superman and The Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift... it is gonna be so awesome....!!!

well... thats pretty much...Oh...

usually i will have my birthday party on my bday...June 24th. but because this year emily has to get her way because her friends always leave in july and don't return until the end of school she will be having girls spend the night on June 23rd and having her party on my bday. So that means for me... the first year ever.... i haveto have my bday party on the 16th or 17th... i would love to have it on the 15th since this is my 15th bday but i have a dental appointment...lol...well will write more later..

}{The Cheez Stands Alone}{

Obiously alot of people do not think that they are going to my bday bash thing magiger...oh my... i guess i can not find the right word to describe how much fun it is gonna be....

Ihave finally decided, since my b-day is in 29 days and all.... who all i am gonna try to invite to my party and what we are gonna do when they come! i have also decided how i am gonna paint my room this summer... and i am happy cuz i can jog 2 miles in 15 min.YAY...i have no idea why i am celebrating that but it makes me feel good... ;) well if you think you are one of the blessed 33 that get to attend my whole birthday shebang... tee hee.. comment!!!!

i have TWO big things i want to write about.....

first thing i am not so crazy about seth anymore... i wasnt really in the first place but it seemed that i was because all i thought about was him.... then i asked myself....," Self, do i really like seth or do i like him just because my friends told him and he said it was kind of obvious?" then i also told myself," Self eitherway, if you like him or not.... this crush / obsession is getting a little out of hand" so it is on hold for now. you could say i am over him until next year....lol...

the other big thing is school is out...yeaya baby!!! oh my... well i am also officially a sophmore!! woot woot... now if my sophmore year goes any faster than my freshman year.... i don't know what i'm gonna do... all i can say is i've got friends in high places...tee hee... yes...here on earth also...

well i'll catch up to yall later... love ya Ronnie!

}{Mustard Seed}{

Ok i am so sorry to you kate about posting all that information without your consent! it was an unfriendly thing to do and an ungodly thing to do and god hasn't let me live it down... i love you Kate....

Today i wrote a poem...*for my friend Kay Wilt* she ejoyed it so much that i thought i would share it with the rest of the world....no copywriting....*PLEASE*...all this literally just appeared in my head during fifth period so i jotted it down and here it is..

THE WAY

THE WAY the sun rays bounce off your face and glistens in your radiantly gleaming eyes as you gently rotate your head to toss a smile in my direction.

THE WAY your lip part and your cheeks dimple in such a way that i can not help but let a smile slip through my lips also.

THE WAY i know you are recieving the words that pass my lips by the way our eyes meet so profoundly that they act as an unlocked doorway to my heart.

THE WAY that even though i could be anywhere else at the moment, i can not help but just stand there because hearing your voice makes everything worth its while.

THE WAY i look forward to every moment i get to spend with you like a little girl who anxiously awaits the beautiful rainbow that is guaranteed to arrive at the end of every frightening storm.

THE WAY that being in your presence for just a short time can effect my whole outlook for that day.

THESE are just a few of THE WAYS that define who you are to me!

****Applause****

thank you, thank you i would like to thank my ... lol...jk..

But this time there is actually good news and no i actually saved money by switching from geicho but that wasn't the point which i am so desperately trying to state.... i found out what i made on the Algebra 1 Gateway....*drum role please* i made a 96 *YAY*... so technically i'm not stupid but you get the idea...

well amkinda bored and guess you are too... if you haven actually read this far in my post, i am so sorry for you..you have wasted so much time...lol..well, like i said i am bored and do not know what else to post...Laterz

}{Mustard Seed}{

ok. I found out from a certain someone who knows who they are friday night that maybe Kate Hooper and (mine)Seth went out in Middle School... I later found out yesterday from someone else that they only went out once and kate had brought him to the church once....obviousely before i moved here. I also found out that since they only went out once, Kate doesn't consider him to be an Ex.. yay for me....lol..

Well Friday night was fun. Meaghan Breuax and I had a nice talk. we both talked practicly about how we can't stand licving with guys but didn't know what we would do without them.

and Thanx again Chris for praying with me Wed. Lord knows i needed it, otherwise he wouldn't have told me to go up to the altar. But i know that for as long as i am living for God that satan will try to tear me down but God never said it would be Easy. He also said he would never leave us.

Well i will talk later...

}{Mustard Seed}{

YAY...

tonight is fusion night at church...other than Wed. night live this is the night that highlights my months....

friday i just stuck with steven ambrose and walked around seeing everyone else but saturday i preformed....it went very well.... my solo was first thing saturday morning at 8 am.... i know too early to be singing... it went extremely well... everyone told me that if i took wed. night's performance and multiplyed it by 4 i would get how well i performed yesterday... i got to see Will and Travis' human video... they did it to Lord of the dance by steven curtis chapman....the choir was awesome and so was our ensemble.... we ater went to the coolsprings mall and ali and i "stalked" tyler while we were looking for the candy shop.... which we ended up never finding.... then we went back to Centennial for the award ceremony...

at the award ceremony we found out that... Stacy advanced in her solo.... becky, adam r (also taking first), amanda, brad(group) and alex (solo and in group with brad) advanced in the drama/human video category... adam A and micheal took first.... becky, adam r and hannah advanced in short sermon....the Greater ensemble advanced and took first... and the choir advanced and took first.... and that is all.... i am not upset about not advancing... i partely had a feeling just because it was my first year participating in fine arts i wasnt sure how everything layed out... i just can't wait to start preparing for next year... oh and i can't wait until nationals and competing in the choir!!!

i was so happy for will and travis because their human video advanced!

i will see everyone Wed... i am trying to set it up so seth can come to the youth group....

Hey everyone....

this week has been great..... 2 big things happened this week....

Wed. Night....of course everyone knows what happened last night.... i sang my solo... i gave it my best and left the rest up to god... i think i did pretty well. I was nervous everytime i practiced up stairs like 20 min. before service and then as soon as service started i prayed to god that he would use me and be with me on stage! well it worked... i got on stage and wasn't a bit nervous... i was like i had recieved a sudden ease from god telling me everything was going to be alright... if you were there last night and have any constructive criticizem or complements please post a remark.... thanks bunches oh... and we earned over $3000 it ended up....God is truly Amazing....

the other thing that happened to me this week was on Monday.... there is this guy in my 5th period... Monday my friends Jesse and Andréa decide to tell him i like him.... his name is Seth Rollins.... he is on the Riverdale Soccer Team and is a sophmore.. he's really nice and a good friend. the thing is i think i might actualy like him... i didnt like him at first but theres just something about him.... i just am not sure... but i'm just happy right now its not going anywhere because when they told him i like him....and everyone one who knows me knows that i do not flirt.... i am flirt deficient if you say so i don't know how he could say this... but he said that it was kind of obvious...??? i'm still trying to figure that one out.....

well i will talk to everyone later.....

hugs and more hugs.....

}{Mustard Seed}{

Yes, i know it's not summer yet....

We are swimming in gym tomorrow and Thursday and i am bummed.... i really don't feal like swimming tomorrow but i kind of am  forced into it. Coach Scott said because she has had so many girls comming to her with parent notes that they can't swim because or natural female reasons.... she isn't letting anyone out of it. either we swim for 15 min on 2 days.... or we run the bleachers for the who 50 whatever min class period and we would have to write a 5 page paper and whatever... my choice is swimming.... i am happy about Wed.

My friend Karson Lurie talked to me today and she is for sure comming Wed. night to see everyone and maybe my friend Hailey Patrick also.....

I figured out how i am going to paint my room during the summer.... i am painting all the walls an off white and over that doing a burnt orange and a dark brown in squares and then writing ( in paint) my favorite encouraging and inspiring scriptures on like one or two of the walls.... well i gotta go eat....

}{Mustard Seed}{

hey yall.. today at choir practice gus handed out the order for Wed. Night..... i was so xcited when i saw it....

all that i have memorized in the program is my ensemble (#2) is going 1st.... i get to sing my solo (yay) 6th.... and i am in the choir which is going to preform last....

now this all may change before wed. but i just can't wait... no one except for mrs. jeana, bekah, candace bitner, pastor laura, pastor gus, and jamie crabtree, that attends the church has ever heard me sing... other than in choir or ensemble. no one else has heard me sing solo. everyone is going to be suprised. i am so excited.... ihave been practicing my song with pastor laura almost every sunday or saturday now and she saws that i started off really good and since then between now ihave improved on my song... and now there is nothing left for me to improve on that the song is practicly perfect (mary poppins) and mrs. jeana heard me today and told my mom that she didnt know i had as wide of a range that i do and that i am really gifted...but that depending on the competition at reginals, i could be going to nationals.... i was like practicly screaming on the inside then!!! so i can't wait until wed. night....

oh and i found out 3 days ago that brantley and michelle finallystarted going out.....

welll i love yall....

Happy Easter to everyone. The Final Presentation of the Trilogy Part 3 is tonight. But since i saw it this morning in first service, i am not going tonight.... this years trilogy was different than last years in a good way. Last years was really good... in fact that is why my family and I are still coming to the church... but this year just went even farther. i so wanted to be in the trilogy this year, but i thought with me participating in Fine Arts this year, for th first time, i could get overwhelmed and that was the last thing i needed at this time.

This Wed. night we have no church... i think i overheard Ms. Julie saying that the youth is still doing something but she wasn't sure because she is going to Jamaica this week. i'm so happy for her. she only gets off like one week for vaca and she works year round. Oh and today was her BiRtHdAy! Happy Birthday Ms. Julie!

Now about the youth not having service this Wed. i 100% agree that the people that were in the trilogy deserve this Wed. night off. i just will miss all my friends. so if the youth is doing something... i am happy. Also next Wed. Night is the Dinner Theartre. i want to talk to gus and see how he is choosing who is doing the femaile vocal solo because i want to do it Wed. night and then the others that i know are doing female vocal solo are Brady H., Linda, and Meagan M..... but there might be more....i know that there were two guys for sure doing male vocal solo and they are Tyler P. and Paul M.

I can't wait until finearts weekend! i can only pray that i will be ready because for the past 2 weeks i have not been able to practice with Pastor Laura...or atleast in the sanctuary like meagan has.

well i will write more later on in the week....

Hugs and well Hugs...

}{Mustard Seed}{

Hey Everyone....tomorrow is the final presentation of the trilogy. I was told by gus to be in it tomorrow but i just feel if i were to be in it i wouldn't really be in it.... you probably have no idea what i am talking about so never mind. lol. i wish i really knew what to write but i have no idea occupying the space in my mind at this current... oh wait... i know what i will write about.... ok here are a few random thoughts...

ToMoRrOw Is EaStEr! so i will wish all a HaPpY eAsTeR.

and talking about easter....

it took me forever friday to find out what i was going to wear tomorrow. we went to PlAtO's ClOsEt, PhAsE 2, PeNnEy'S, GoOdY's, SeArS, and finally KoHl'S. i spent 4 hours and then today i finally spent 30 minutes finishing my outfit. everyone will get to see it tomorrow. bye

wutz up. well i just got this last night... i guess i will write more later.

*Edit*

ok evryone.... i now hae more time to write more. ok well tomorrow i am going places.... and i guess skwl was ok today....oh about last night the thing that chris slate said or was it chris morgan... well one of the chris' stated a 'poem' sort of thing that i had heard a long time ago, but just thought i would post it was....

if a guy tells you you're Hot, he is looking at your body. }{

if a guy tells you you're Pretty, he is looking at your face. :)

but if a guy tells you you're Beautiful, he is looking at your heart. <3

just thought i would share that with ya. well i'll talk to ya later.

peace out..
