Well this Christmas break has been refreshing and good. I get to sleep in a considerable number of hours and now I can do so on my new mattress!!!! If you ever had the privelege to sleep in my now 15 year old mattress then your day would be filled with excitement like mine. Other than a hard to spell strep-like throat infection that meets the stomach virus, my Christmas was great. I slept most of Christmas day away and didn't get to go to my aunt's house for breakfast or church (on Jesus's birthday!). Then I spent half of Monday in the ER because the clinic was packed. But I got a beautiful necklace from my amazing boyfriend, Josh on Christmas Eve, and I get to spend New Years with him. Being home with family has been nice, especially when I was sick. Well I'm off to go watch tv with my parents and eat a bananna popsicle, one of strep’s good friends. |

well at least she is cute. Although there is a boy in my liberal arts class I can't stand because he is so out of touch with reality and in-tune with himself and his jeans that have holes in them that are too high for my comfort. |

Human nature will not easily find a helper better than love:
"This, my dear Socrates," said the stranger of Mantineia, "is the life above all others which man should live, in the contemplation of beauty absolute; a beauty which if you once beheld, you would see not to be after the measure of gold, and garments, and fair boys and youths, whose presence now entrances you; and you and many a one would be content to live seeing them only and conversing with them without meat or drink, if that were possible-you only want to look at them and to be with them."
-Plato |

Today I was feeling a little stressed as school can only do. I was trying to outline a paper I had to write by tomorrow. I only had like 30 minutes before I had to go to work and I wanted to finish it before I went so I could write my paper when I got back. Well in the middle of my pity party, becuase the walls are super thin here, I hear good ole Point of Grace playing in my neighbors room. At first I think of you girls and our wonderful memories with point of grace. Then I thought why would my 18 year old neighbor still be listening to old school point of grace. The country song that played from her room after the point of grace song made me feel better that her music style wasn't so damaged. I LOVE YOU. |

I am so thrilled it is the weekend, you just don't know. I am kinda dreading next week becuase I have 3 papers due and a major test in the hardest class ever. So it should be fun. I got a package in the mail which is so fun to get, and it was from andy, shannon, and elijah. I was very excited. Just in case you were wondering what I have been doing all the past two weeks, wonder no more. I have been doing homework (is it still called homework in college?) all the time. Now I am known to exaggerate homework alot, but it just seems like I have all the homework and no one else does. Maybe I just haven't grasped the whole college life thing yet. Oh well, its friday so I will not think about it. I am working at Park place church of God now and i looooove it. I am a team leader for after school fun. We are just in training now but Monday the kids are coming. I am a little nervous because I will have my own class, and I have to come up with my own activites for them. On Mondays though, all the kids will do this thing called flipt, which is a bible study thing modeled after Rob Bell's videos and I am so excited about that because he is amazing. So now I am off to have a finger printing done to prove to Park Place I am not a killer. have a good weekend! |

so... they make really good cereal marshmallow squares here. I am getting so fat. Its easy to eat all the time when its free, or at least to me. My classes are hard. I have never read textbooks for extended amounts of times like all night. They are actually interesting like my speech and family science books, but not for two hours. Also I know technology is great and all but not when you have to find quizzes from cd's that go to websites that you have to find and pray your internet connection works. My laptop has to sleep at the ITC place tonight becuase it is sick. :( It better work tomorrow. Yesterday it rained and I fell walking into the cafeteria place in front of everyone. I had just woken up (late) and was running, in the rain, in flip-flops..smart i know. Then I slipped like 3 other times yesterday but caught myself. Today it didn't rain and it wasn't too hot so it was nice. I miss everyone at home and love you all. I need to go to sleep now, which is earlier than i ever have here which is wierd because I am use to sleeping so much more. |

So alot has happened since my last entry, a whole lifetime of livejournal entries undocumented. I haven't updated because I didn't know how to justly announce or write about me and Josh breaking up which I still don't want to write about mostly becuase I am in denial and don't want to give it up yet. Also it is a deeper relationship than I could explain or you could understand. And I am waiting on our patient God to give me some sort of answer on the issue. with that said,
I am taking me and all my boxes of stuff 6 hours away from everything comfortable and home to anderson, indiana tomorrow morning. It's a scary thing moving to another state, another community, and to another set of friends unmade. How do you know what friends will last? My family has no choice but to stay with me forever but what about everyone I have grown up with and everyone I love, everyone that has added to my very life. There are people I could live without if they didn't stick out the distance, but there are a handful that I don't know what I would do if our relationships weakened down to aquaintences. I'm sure God knows all of this and has it arranged for the good, but its still scary. Some nights I think that life just won't go on if I don't hear loudly from God my every life plan. Then I think, how silly of me, one of 6 billion or so, begging for my life story. I just want to know when the desires of my heart will be given like promised. I know, woe to me oh selfish queen. Selfishness is an easy sin. I could complain all night about what I want, and tonight I wouldn't mind to, but there is a peace in my heart that I'm doing what God wants. That peace will get me to anderson and will dry every freakin tear I shed until I understand all His mystery and why I have to move to the cold. I guess it's sort of comical. Don't ever complain to God that you are too cold because He will arrange even greater colds in your future. And that is one man you can't ignore. |

Today I went to work, came home and slept, went to eat with my parents, and talked to josh and played with sarah. It was a pretty good day. I love my job but it is getting sorta discouraging watching new teachers try to get jobs. One of our aides is trying to get a teaching job, and she has been on 23 interviews and still no job. Maybe the field will open up in 4 years. or I could move to Georgia where teachers get paid more.
Me and Sarah and Megan decided to name my fish Bullet. He never had a name before. I guess that would be sad if you didn't have a name. sorry bullet.
My mom went shopping and brought me back tape, index cards, and a first aid kit to take to school. haha. i love my mom.
thats enough for tonight kids. |

It has rained so much lately and when it doesn't it is really hot. I think our air conditioning stopped working so it is toasty in here. I have been reading C.S. Lewis' book, The Four Loves recently for school. We have several summer reading books that I didn't realize were actually meant to be read in the summer. It is a really good book so far. Everyone likes to know they are loved and it goes into detail about different types of love. I want to be as smart as C.S. Lewis. I wish I spent more time reading it. My days seem to go really quickly since i am starting to work until 3:30 every day. That sometimes is a good thing and other times bad. My summer is slipping away and I want it back. I'm scared to face September. I would really love just to skip on to Christmas and then May. I know its unevitable but I just want more time. I'll be ok I guess, just need a little faith.
goodnight. |

this is my baby sally. she got up there all by herself. She loves dryer towels.
today was my cousin's birthday. We went to church with her mom today in Bessemer. It was refreshing to be around so many loving new christians. New christians just have an awe and excitement about them that is addicting, as long as they are genuine, especially the people who went to her church, who were there because their life couldn't have gotten worse. |

I found this yesterday. I wrote it in the 5th grade, errors and all. at least sarah will appreciate.
Cupcake Face
Me and Sarah were rideing our bikes to the school. We dicided to go play at the playground. There were 3 boys playing there. They looked like 4th graders. Except for one, he was probuly in kindergarten. They were hiding behind the benches making noises. Me and Sarah tried to ignore them. (You have to remember this is while my face looked so ugly and skent up.) We went ahead and played on the swings. They kept making noises. One of the boys was tall and had a long nose. The other one was wearing army clothes. Then we got off the swings and went to the monkey bars. One of the boys came out from under the bench and said, " What happend to you, did you get cupcakes all over your face?" He was talking to me! They started laughing. Sarah quickly commented, "No." "Did you get chocolate on your face," the boy said in a winey voice. "No," I said. Now you would asume I got mad at him for calling me names and makeing fun of me.If thats what you thought you wrong. I was just the oposet. I almost busted out laughing! I thought it was funny!
HAHA. this was after me and sarah went rollerblading while walking my dog down a hill, hence my skent face. |
