It's interesting how life day to day can change so much... (June 23, 2006)

Ok, everything I just typed was deleted let me try again. It's now 1:23 am.

Today was incredible! I still have to pay my speeding ticket, pay for college, apply for orientation and loans,and I lost my truck keys somewhere in the house. I'm really happy though, trully joyful in my heart and soul. It's interesting how sometimes life can get you so bogged down you forget to notice the little things. It's the little things that life is all about. God will help us through anything, it's just a matter of stop thinking about whatever has got a hold of your mind and look at the sky. God is good. God is Great! God is mighty and awesome and loving. He is our redeemer, he died so that we could complain about how horrible life is? How in the world can you think about how awesome this world is, how incredible God is, look at how He has helped us through so much and carried us for even much more, and still be bogged down? The little things that remind us....it's the bigger things we forgot to remember. 

Early this morning Roman and I snuck off to the library. We met Douglas there just as it opened, we grabbed TONS of books and read and read! After a while, Douglas brought out some headphones for Roman to listen to some music...he loves it! (a love I swear he got from me) He was standing there dancing this little dance flicking his wrists and clapping methdicly ( why doesn't bogger have spell checker? TOM!!) We were all laughing so hard that we were hushed! At nine in the morning! There's no one there at nine in the morning! *giggles* It was so so much fun! I was so glad to be able to spend time with Douglas too, as this week has been long and we've not gotten to see each other much or talk all that much for that matter. What a blessing to have found him at the library!! God still suprises and romanticizes this heart of mine. We bid goodbye around ten and Romey and I headed to breakfast!

BREAKFAST!! Have you ever eaten at McDonald's for breakfast? It's pretty good stuff. (this coming from a hardly-ever-eat-breakfast sort of person) We sat there giggling at each other for no reason at all. We kept saying how lucky we were to get to go to breakfast and the library! Romey dared me to eat a hashbrown dipped in ketchup first then in syrup. You should seen his face when I ate it!! We laughed and laughed and kept eating our specal recipie. I know, I know ewe gross. (not that bad actually) Then we played a little with his toy.

PAUSE!

Why don't grown-ups get toys in their meal bags? I wanted a Filmore car too! He's my favorite. Ok, no so I haven't seen the movie yet but he's a VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTOR!! My absolute favorite vehicle in the whole world. I even tried to bribe Roman for his. *pouts* Didn't work. I think i'm going to try to buy everything I can that has Filmore on it! So cute!

We rented "The Ringer" today. Oh wow was that a great movie! I love it when a movie not only gets you to smile but laugh out loud! There were one or two words and phrases that were inappropriate (spell checker Tom!!) I coincidentally started talking really reaLLY LOUD DURING! Those momentary words and phrase were pretty predictable so it wasn't a problem. Ignoring that, I really enjoyed it! If you know my sense of humor and you like the same I think you will really enjoy it!

Ok folks I love you all.....and I'm sleepy. I have a whole bunch of gifts to wrap for a party tomorrow, and then church, and I've got to paint my toe-sies! So much to do! I hope that all of you are having incredible weeks! Thank you for praying for me this week, it means so much. This week was a little rough around the edges for me but I made it through. God is awesome...

Praising God for challeges,

Love to All!!

As my heart cries I tell you that I'm not going....

Radiant revolution is tonight in The Woodlands...I so wanted to go. I was excited and could hardly wait. That was when I had someone going with me. I feel so much better when I have a friend near....so I'm not alone.

I feel like I'm letting myself down. I'm never alone for the Lord is always with me but I won't go by myself? Maybe I can beg someone enough by this time next week... I so wish I had true friends....the ones that will support you no matter what...the ones that won't put you down or refuse what you are interested in. I have no christian friends.

EUREKA!!!

Liz!

I have to call Liz! Maybe she'll go with me? that's the plan for....oh no next week I'm babysitting! Why is does it seem so hard God? Why can't I find the place I was once before? so I'll find some other way...or I could ask any job I get if I can have tuesdays off...tues and sat nights. BLAH!!!

I want to just go back to sleep.

God help me get out of this funk!

Help me be stronger!

*hears His whisper* 

Matthew 6:34  "Therefore do not worry about, tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own."

Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

In the Wake of the Storm

We were all saddened at what

Katrina had left behind her

Destruction and anger

Why had this happened?

We all came together

Everyone helping in some way

Giving what they could and then some

While many in the country came together

Many others pointed fingers

It had to be someone’s fault

I know who caused it

He has His reasons

Reasons our feeble minds can’t comprehend

Who will be the first to point his finger…

Up at Him?

All was calm for just a little while

Now her sister Rita’s on her way

I’m sure it’s not to reconcile

But to remind us that we are not in control

Something this world may have forgotten

People that had begun to run

Are now stuck on the interstate

Everyone was rushing to get nowhere in a hurry

People are walking the streets

Unprotected and Afraid

Others are boarded up in their homes

Praying that they will stay safe

I may see the earth’s fury

I may feel the wind rage

I have faith that it will be over soon

That destruction won’t be as devastating

As we predicted before

I may worry and fear just a little while

But I’m in my home

Surrounded by those I love

We’ve got plenty of food

My thoughts and my prayers are really

With those that are alone tonight

Outside in complete danger

May this be the end of destruction for a while…

May the sun shine and the clouds dissipate

May we start again

Come together finally,

 Without having to point fingers

Or be angry with someone

May Peace Come

Pensado en el día:

El amor no sabe ninguna edad, ninguna hora,

ningunos goodbyes, amor sabe el corazón.

Fuimos a una boda ayer.

 Jared y Constance a ser exactos.

 Era Hermosa

. Cada uno guardó el embromar del Doug y de I que

 íbamos a terminar encima de coger el boquet o el garder...

y tan el fortelling ese nosotros sería siguiente en línea.

 Él y yo reímos y embromamos sobre él todo el dia y fingimos no cuidar

 la mente del ar incluso para esa materia...

 pero debajo ambos éramos profundos en pensamiento.

 Ni unos ni otros de nosotros hablaron

de ella hasta que él se iba de mi casa esa tarde.....

Te quiero, él dijo.

Deseo casarle pero ahora no soy el tiempo apropiado.

Algún día mi amor.

Para ahora mí le doy este anillo.

No es mucho...

Pero el significado que lleva vale más que puedo decir.

Mi amor, al igual que este anillo, soy

sinceramente para siempre y por siempre.

Te quiero

Thought of The Day:

Amor est vitae essentia

Love is the essence of life.

Dreams Do Come True

By Aubrey

When I was younger

Much younger than I am now

I dreamt of you

Of where we’d meet and how

I prayed and waited

Knowing that when the time was right

God would bring my Prince Charming to me

Little did I know that it was I

That was on a journey

That was far from its end

As I grew older

I grew restless

I searched for you

Everywhere I was

Hoping that you were near

My search isolated my ears

From the quiet whisper

Telling me to wait

Just a little while longer

I wasted time

Searching all too soon

I just needed to wait

Wait until I was ready

And so were you

I grew even older

And began to wonder if you

My Prince

Really existed or if you were but a dream

I began to loose hope

Until I heard that faint whisper

The one I’d trusted many years before

“Just a little while longer

Be patient

The Love I have in store for you

Is much greater than you ever imagined”

It was then

That I remembered

The dream I dreamt so long ago

Could it come true?

Never had I thought

Even in my wildest dreams

That I would be blessed with a love

So pure and true and honest

As the one I’ve found

With you

There isn’t a day

That I don’t thank our Lord

For bringing us together

For blessing us

With this love

It may have been a long journey

But we’ve made it

Everything we have

Is more than any dream

That I could’ve dreamt

He was right.
