i don't have much to say really other than i am happy school is out all this week. although not so happy that my shared bathroom toilet [thanks to the male cusin who uses WAY too much toilet paper...] keeps over flowing and stopping up.
poor stephanie who just happened to allow the last bit of waste to be the one to overflow it. really, it wasn't her fault.

toilets are lame.

Fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes before I leave to go the awesome place that is church. Located at The Brook….OF COURSE! One of my favorite places in the world.

But the fifteen minutes before going to church is getting on my nerves a bit. I never have been able to understand how a ten year old can make more noise that a construction site while she eats. SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK! No matter how many times me, and my mommy tell her to chew with her mouth closed, it just aint happening. And its not like she is eating anything big like steak or something, no she is eating CEREAL! How in THE WORLD can you CHEW cereal and MAKE THAT MUCH NOISE!

It’s just one of those things I can’t really stand. The smacking noise when you are eating. *shudder* uggggg. zack does it too, but he is not so bad because you can never hear him over sirena's SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK. I know I shouldn’t let things like that get to me, but its a daily thing and It gets worse every time. Every single time.

lame.

today

work was actually enjoyable just because there was actual business. i had somthing to actually do! :) and soon im about to go to the bank and then im going to buy some fun tubs to put my clothes in. move the pile out of my floor and into my closet. organized chaos….the way to go forreal. [thanks bobby for the idea :) you rock my socks off!]

Day two

Today was my second day at Calhoun. I have finally met all my teachers. There is only one I don’t like that much, and that is my music appreciation teacher. She didn’t seem like a difficult teacher, she just seemed very……not sure of a word for it. She seemed to look down on all of us. Not very nice. Hopefully my first impression is wrong, otherwise I’m in for a long semester.

finally.

Today I went up to Calhoun and got to the bottom of the situation. Apparently they had my transcripts, but they just did not put that fact in the computer. Therefore my tuition had not been paid for, and etc. Today I went to the financial aid office and fixed it all up. And now, I am stalling because I’m supposed to be cleaning the kitchen, I just have not chosen to at the moment. Sad, aint it. Well, I guess I’m off to clean the messy kitchen, and guinea pig cage.

Adios.

Most Recent In My Writings

these were written quite recently. there are two here. i hope you all enjoy. sometimes i write poetry, other times i write lyrics. if anyone reads these and has any ideas for music it for them feel free to use my stuff, just let me know.

AGAIN

I take a look at myself
and wonder how I got here again
I search my soul
and wonder why I am here
where did I go to get this far away
from You?

take a look at my heart, renew me.
bring a brand new start, consume me.
take a look at my heart
and lift me up, in Your arms.

I take a look at myself and wonder
why this happens again and again.
I break every promise I seem to have made.
God, please take it all, take it all away.

so take a look at my heart, renew me
bring a brand new start, consume me.
take a look at my heart
and lift me up, in Your arms.

Take a look at my heart, let it beat for You.
No matter what, has blinded my eyes
take a look at my heart and never
let Your light fade.

I take a look at myself and wonder,
how I got here again.

Understanding Paul [Romans 7:15-25 and 12:1]

I do not understand
why I let this happen.
I do not understand
why I always hold back.
You should
be front and center,
You should
be all I know.

I am giving up, giving in, to You.

and this will be my act of worship,
to bring joy to You, my God.
I bring my body, my sacrifice,
I choose to love you with all my heart,
I lift my voice to the Heavens and cry
”How Holy, You are.”

I want to be right,
I want to do good,
I want what You can give me, and yet,
My body still sins, and
I loose control of who You made me,
giving into temptation,
crying out “God, please forgive me!”

and this will be my act of worship,
to bring joy to You, my God.
I bring my body, my sacrifice,
I choose to love you with all my heart,
I lift my voice to the Heavens and cry
”How Holy, You are.”

God, I thank You, for Jesus,
God, I thank You, for love,
God, I praise You, for Your great mercy,
God, I praise You, for who You are.

and this will always be my act of worship,
to bring joy to You, my God.
I bring my body, my sacrifice,
I choose to love you with all my heart,
I lift my voice to the Heavens and cry
”How Holy, You are.”

information, or…lack there of.

So I have been trying for a long time now to get my stinking transcripts to Calhoun so my financial aid works. Well, they made it there Friday, now the problem is, they won’t tell me if it is applied or not, or when it will be avialable. Not to mention they NEVER answer their phone. I have to call like fifty-million times to get the to answer their phone, and when they do, they are less than helpful. At least they could try and not be rude about everything. Really.

 

ugggg.

Beautiful

So lately I have been rather obsessed with a song. It is called Beautiful. I first heard it on Ted Dekker’s website. (Great author, you should read his books.) I have listened to this song over and over again and absolutely love it. It is just a purely beautiful song (no pun intended). All it talks about is wanting, needing, and loving God more, and praising Him for how beautiful He truly is. The beauty of the earth and all it’s inhabitants has always been my tool for proof that God exists. Every beautiful thing on this planet screams God to me. He is in the sunlight streaming through the trees, or the soft breeze early in the morning. When it is devastatingly hot outside and a cloud brings in rain. All of that is God to me. Everything beautiful. Nature. One of the reasons I love to take pictures of nature is because of how beautiful it is. I love to capture tiny glimpses of God’s beauty and show it to people. It is amazing how cool things are when you zoom in on one spot. I encourage you all to look up this song and just think of the simplicity of it. Just some praise to the God who created everything, and the pure longing to be with Him.

Hope you enjoy this song as much as I have.

Beautiful
By: Sam Lane [Vineyard UK music]

I need You like the rain
Come to me and sing again
I long for Your love so much
I've wanted Your pure touch
You are beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
So beautiful, beautiful
I need You to be here
Come to me, I can feel You near
I love You, You are my hope
You love me as Your own
You are beautiful, beautiful
You are beautiful, beautiful
So beautiful, beautiful

House of Nerds

everytime i step into the household of the Ross family, i seem to have stepped into nerd world. each person has a laptop and enjoys talking to each other across the room on facebook. the males of the house [not counting tommy] can answer any computer question asked. It is awesome. Fun stuff. except that their house is rather cold. coldness is not my happy favorite lol

 

the end. for the time.

transcripts.

are a pain. really, the school just can’t mail them can they. lame. its not that hard forrealz. lame lame lame lame. lame. end of story. lame.

 

another reason why i don’t like sparkman.

Falling Up.

one of my totally favorite bands of all time. the way they write is so different, and awesome. their lyrics are beautiful and music is loud and pretty at the same time. i always have enjoyed them since i heard their first song and i would ask you to listen to them. if you like prettier stuff, listen to [these CDs] Captiva, if you like harder stuff, listen to Fangs. there is a remix for those who enjoy that. they have a large range of fun music that is great to listen to.

 

Captiva by FallingUp

Light breaks the morning glaring headlights in the fog
To see how measurements and aerospace is moving up
This sudden danger is my calling I can swear
When I am ready I'll release
'I'm so lost for words' this stranger heard
That I'm gone forever
Leapt before the fall
In a million, in a million pieces I am breaking up
To the future, to the future where science is the circle taught
And light breaks the morning flooding headlights in the fog
With measurements and aerospace
I'm leaping out too far
I've never been so sure
Letting go of charts
And falling close to stars
In a million
In a million

Behind the Song:
'Laced between science and faith, a grey area exists with great debate to lean towards either side. On one hand, faith could be determined in power based on it's boundaries within science. For instance, creation would exceed the limitations of science only after existing in the boundaries and mathematics of a science based idea. After following demographics, creation then could move on to it's own set of rules because the respect has been neutralized by rational quota. The idea would then take form as it's own, using science as a mere dimension; science becomes a fractional property of faith, but not a foundation if you will. On the other had, respect could be an issue if by chance faith overrides even the smallest of vessels of science. Thus putting faith in a completely alien category. Where is my opinion on this? That faith can choose to follow the rules of science at any given time, but becomes a true wonder when it reaches an area that is beyond spectrums that science can touch. In this case, faith becomes the dominate.' - Falling Up

Update after FOREVER of not updateing. haaa. lol.

For lack of a better intro im going to begin with the lyrics to one of my currently favorite songs. It is Set The World On Fire, by Britt Nicole.

I wanna set the world on fire
Until it’s burning bright for You
It’s everything that I desire
Can I be the one You use?
I, I am small butYou, You are big enough
I, I am weak but You, You are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You There’s nothing I can not do
Nothing I cannot do
I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father’s hands
My hands my feet
My everything
My life, my love
Lord, use me
I wanna set the world on fire
I wanna set the world on fire, yeah
I’m gonna set the world on fire
Set the world on fire



This song is one of those that would be best to apply to your life as a prayer. (because thats basically what the song is anyways) I have always had difficulty with this one though. I like to do things how I want to do, and on MY time, and WHEN I want to do it, and WHAT I want to do.
me me me me me.
and i usually don't think im very selfish for most things. But when it comes to giving everything...well you can just say that one is difficult for me. And it's fine and easy while im not at home, when im out like how it was in Guatemala. But being home, comfortable, that is when everything goes SRJKLSDJFKLSJFLKSJ. (random letters are for lack of a word) Staying in Guatemala would have been so much better. I love everyone here, and especially my mom, but Guatemala was amazing. BUT i did not get to stay, and that is no excuse. eventually I will figure things out, until then, I guess i will just have to struggle. Which i can deal with. Sometimes it would be nice for things to be easy. But things will never be easy, not when there are choices. We chose to be how we are, even if it is a sub-concious choice. at some point i might make the right choice. i try to anyways, but i tend to be...forgetful.
So i will try not to.
