| you know, i should really write on this thing again...
| | |
| mice and crickets... those are the creatures of the week, at least in the girls' dorms. i personally found a rather adorable little brown one run across the floor in my room two nights ago, which inevidably sent me flying in the air. just now i found out what the mouse was after in my room... a dove chocolate that i had left on my table over the weekend. he definately got into it, made a nice mess of the wrapper. I LOVE MICE!! i do, really.... yeah.... *
on another note, i get to move completely into my new room tomorrow morning, so i'm totally excited about that. and then alisia my roomie gets here thursday night!! woo woo! i still need to paint some pictures this week.... hmm. maybe i'll get to that thursday morning. the serranos get here on friday, way excited about lamberts, and can't wait to see belinda and cynthia! well, okay all of them. =) *
well time to get ready for work. let me tell you, it's been nice to sleep in today. i didn't get out of bed until almost 10. haven't done that in forever! praise the Lord for going back to part-time hours at work! *
oh yeah, i got asked to join breakdown, a.k.a. "less of me". they need a girl to play piano for the band, and oh my word i would jump at the opportunity, but i'm not sure it would be honoring to my parents' wishes, so i'll have to talk to them about it. but my goodness, i would love it! have a great week guys! can't wait to see everyone get back to school! God bless, and thank God for EVERYTHING today! (yes, even the mice) you'd be surprised what it does for your attitude. =) | | |
| hello my friends! how i've missed you so!
we are finally back in springfield after 3 weeks of traveling, and i am SOO glad. it definately has been a little harder traveling this summer than it was last summer. i know why, but then that might be gossip, which is something i've had trouble with the last few weeks for some reason. so i won't elaborate.
anyways, the camps were awesome. we went to camp chautauqua, of course, back in june. that camp just has a great spirit of prayer. then 3 weeks ago we were at camp beth eden in conway, mo, with brian moore and the drama team and logan mabe. yeah, bbc was like 1/4 of all the campers there. it was fun, God did great things there, saving many and even more surrendered to the ministry. after that was good old alabama, in which the campers were cold at the first of the week, but eventually they let their walls down and God was able to work in hearts wednesday night. i also got to give my salvation testimony wednesday night of this camp for the first time ever in front of a crowd, and a couple got saved that night because of it! how humbling that God used me... wow. the last camp that we went to last week was in indiana, pleasant valley youth camp. i think i learned the most about myself at this camp. we were VERY involved at this camp, which was nice. at this camp we were the kids' only counsellors, we did praise and worship, specials, and half of the games for the week. on top of that, we were prime target for bug bites and poison ivy. ahh, i loved it. the kids there were so awesome, and they taught me more than i could ever teach them.
the last weeks have really helped me put I cor. 13 into practice, too. that chapter has really opened my eyes and changed me. i challenge you, pick a chapter or passage and just meditate on it for a few weeks, figure out the complete meaning and concept of it. it's amazing.
at alabama i met alisia carlson, who is going to be my roommate this year, so that's exciting! if any of the boys are looking to date her, they have to go through me first, so yeah. not that i'm that intimidating, but anyways... our room this year is on 4th floor donnelson, 400. it's a nice room, and i'm looking forward to all the exercise i'll get going up and down the stairs 3 or 4 times a day! i'm really excited, too, that heather cochran is going to be our floor mom. yay!
umm... i'm singing in a wedding this weekend, going to another one on the same day, and then my arkansas best friend is getting married in october, and i'm one of her bridesmaids. weddings seem to be the thing to do these days. hmm...
i had a fabulous date last night with bryan. we went to zio's and then walked around in a random neighborhood on the south end of town until about 10, talking and laughing. he's such an amazing boyfriend. i got to play my song that i wrote last night too, and then when i finished we stayed and talked. then security came upstairs to lock up. and yeah... let's just say, we're afraid it might have looked bad. oh well, we know we didn't do anything. after that we walked to the fountain where john and kimmie were talking to a new transfer student, ben, so we talked with them. that was fun to see all of them. oh i'm so ready for everyone to get back! yay! 3 1/2 more weeks! =)
found out the other day that i like christian rap. weird, i know.... i still haven't figured that one out.
oh yeah, and i lost all my spoons.
bye guys! love you all! | | |
| so i've decided that i don't know how to love. at least not the way Christ wants me to. so.... i am starting something new, bible memorization. you're shocked? don't be. i'm not as spiritually strong as people make me to be. most of the time i'm ashamed of how weak i am, but i also must remember that in my weakness, Christ is made strong. thank the Lord.
the passage: I Corinthians 13.
the subject: the way of love.
the version: NET (i like it better. hehe.)
13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 13:2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 13:3 If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast,1 but do not have love, I receive no benefit.
13:4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. 13:5 It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. 13:6 It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. 13:7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
13:8 Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside. 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, 13:10 but when what is perfect (when completion)2 comes, the partial will be set aside. 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult,3 I set aside childish ways. 13:12 For now we see in a mirror indirectly,4 but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known. 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
see verses 4-7? i'm going to take one attribute of love a week, and i'm going to put each into practice, all the while praying and asking God to help me commit it all to memory. i have too much pride and self-love, and no love toward others. i have been impatient, envious, unkind, boastful and proud, rude, selfish, and easily angered and resentful. i need to rejoice in truth, not in injustice, and i need to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things... no matter what.
so... to start... i love each and every person who reads this. hold me accountable. if i do anything that is not loving, catch me, correct me, and make sure i don't fall. after all, that is what brothers and sisters-in-Christ are for, right?
time to go to church!  | | |
| so i hate to come back just to update on a sad note, but today is a confusing day in my mind. lots of things are going on in my head right now, and it's... yeah i already said it, but... confusing. what was so sure before is suddenly not so sure now, and quite frankly i don't like it one bit. it seems all day i've had this cloud over me, thinking it over, praying, asking God for any kind of clue or reassurance in anything. i guess i just have to wait and be patient, and trust God. i know it's not an urgent decision that has to be made, but still... my heart is in it, and that's never a fickle matter. anyways, just pray that i'll use God's wisdom in days to come, and i won't compromise or do something just to avoid my fear of man. i seem to have a problem with that... =)
on a happier note, i got to go home last weekend and see my mom, daddy, buddy and sandy williams from sweetwater! that was fun, i so enjoyed seeing her. my mom bought me some cooking stuff for when i get my own place someday (or at least some place with a kitchen), so i put it in my hope chest. well, actually my "hope chest" is really just 2 cardboard boxes underneath my bed at home. hehe. no complaining here about the storage, though... i'm thankful for anything i can get, and thankful for what i don't get. God knows best.
last night bryan and i went to the james river assembly "i love america" celebration, and it was a-mazing!! wow, what a show. when we got there, there was someone preaching to the crowd... of about 115,000. he was really good, like he was actually PREACHING... ya know, getting excited about the word of God, pressing for decisions. and it was so great, because souls were being moved by the Holy Spirit... i think a lot of lives were changed last night, and a lot of hearts rededicated. i'm not really sure what assembly of God believe necessarily, but i'm so thankful for their evangelistic efforts in our town. the whole celebration's purpose yesterday was evangelism, which is a rarity to find.
so i'm pretty sure i miss everyone, i miss all my friends, and i kinda miss home, oddly enough. lol. i think i'm just in a wacky mood today or something, who knows. i'm all emotional. stephany, i miss you like none other! where are you? sandy... i need to have a talk with my best friend again, it's been too long since we had a sandy-lacy night. belinda, i miss your laugh. natalie, i'm ready for you to get here so we can be roomies!!! (and you'd better not leave at christmas... i know i'm cursed, but i know you can beat it, too. hehe.) kimmie, i think you're in springfield, but i still haven't seen you for a while, and i need a hug from you! you know, this is really dangerous writing names on here, because you know i'll forget people. i miss my brother and sister-in-law. i'm so glad i get to have dinner with them tomorrow night. and i know that he's a guy, but i miss seeing john sullivan do ninja rolls in the cafeteria. vanessa, i'm ready to see you too, i always love seeing your beautiful smile. and to everyone else (since i have to go back to work from my lunch break now), i can't wait until you all return to our beloved bbc campus.
hope everyone's summer is going well, and i hope to hear from you soon!!
