Oh What a Month!

I kinda took a little back from blogging there for awhile. The last; well I don't even remember how long it' even been, oh well. Well, I was just so busy and when I wasn't busy I just didn't want to blog so there you have it.
Since The last post there have been Christmas programs, Finals, and my trip to Florida. Christmas programs went so well! Everyone was amazing at what they were supposed to be doing. Finals...well they went and that's about all I have to say about that. Now, my trip to Florida...which was to visit Lizzy's' family was the best. I absolutely love it done there. I hope that someday I am able to go down again. I will put up pictures when I can.

Getting Some Mud on the Tires

Life just doesn't always go as planned. Does it? One moment you have everything figured out and then next thing you know. The road has hit its end and you don't know whether to turn back or just off road it for awhile. This is exactly where I am, going off road.

Like Pretend

To much time has been spent
Now it just feels like pretend
We came so close but didn't
Reach the end

Those day have gone by when
There was no reason to cry
It seems like more and more
I find myself at your door

To much time has been spent
Now it just feels like pretend
We came so close but didn't
Reach the end


This isn't where I should be
Standing at your door
Tears on my face bagging
You for more, you always say
that it will never work
I wonder if its because


work in progress...I don't know where I'm going with this one

Goodtimes Are Always Had By All

This past weekend I went up to Chelle's house. I love going up to Amish country! The ride up there sometimes seems forever and a day long, but soon enough you are there in that beautiful place. We got up there Friday night and didn't really do much, there's always the usual talking and up packing and a movie. Saturday morning Chelle and her Mama had a wedding to go to so Elizabeth watch a movie while Josh and I watched a different one, and chatted to some people online. After they got back from the wedding Chelle, Josh, Lizzy and I went to Sunny Slope, the bulk food store and into town to get some pizza...This was amazing pizza! After talking and eating we decided to go into Canton and eat again....food is a big part of life you know? No we just wanted to do something away from the house, so we just drove until we found something to do. That night when we got back to the house...goodtimes happened....we all laughed so hard about dumb things. Sunday morning we went to church. There we heard Pastor Flynn preach(tell a story) about Easter. It was all the long so we got out a little bit early. Then went back to the house for a great Sunday dinner....BBQ chicken...awww....It was Chelle birthday on Monday, so we had some presents to unwrap and cake to eat. Afterwards it was nap time. When nap time was over it was time to make that long drive back to Cinny.
All in all....it was another great weekend in Amish country.

Vine St.

I LOVE my ministry! I can't believe that God has put me in such a great place to minister to people at. I would have never in a million year have thought that I would love working with intercity people. I know that isn't were I'm going to spend the rest of my life, but it's right where I need to be.
On Sunday morning I cook for all the people. It's so great to hear people say that they like my food, even though I usually don't let being praised. I find it very nice to hear people say thank you and that I did a good job.
Now, on Sunday afternoons...I do Vine Kid's Klub. This isn't something that I ever thought that I would be doing...but the Lord opened the door and I walked through it. He is my help when it come to this. There's no way I'm doing it on my own. I'm so thankful for His help not only at Kid Klub but at cooking as well....I know that God keeps His promises to everyone.

Found My Muse!

Writing poems and such isn't a strong suite for me. I'm not good with words on paper usually, but today I started to write again. I haven't done this in some time.

Staring at the people outside my window
Wishing I could hear their stories but
I just stay right where I am
Cuz, I know that they will never understand
The reasons why I can't just let go
Of everything I am

Seeing their smiling faces and
Knowing that I may never have that feeling
The tears start coming and once again

I'm staring at the people outside my window
Wishing I could hear their stories but
I just stay right where I am
Cuz, I know that they will never understand
The reasons why I can't just let go
Of everything I am

This isn't anything that is special, but something that I'm working on.
I'm so happy that I have once again found my muse. Oh the beauty to be found in the written word. I'm sure that I will have more to write about in coming days.

HomeSick

This song is pretty much me right now. I've never want to be somewhere else more.

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

I don't know the Lord's way's and I won't for sometime. All I know is that I miss you a lot.

Beautiful Life

It's almost the weekend? I have no clue where the time has gone. Most of my days are spent doing homework, socializing, and sleeping. Yesterday was a great day. Gave a speech, turned in a project, heard Dr. Brown speak in chapel, took a 3 hour nap, watched Odyssey with Jon, went shopping and ate Mexican with Elizabeth, had an amazing Prayer Meeting, hung with Chelle, and the went to bed. That is a great day in my book. To feel the accomplishment of having the speech and project done. Having been able to be in wonderful services where God moved in the hearts of His people. Then to spent time with people that know and love you. I couldn't ask for anything more than this life that God has so blessed me with. He is a wonderful and loving God.
Now, my list today may prove to be a great reward to. Just a couple of tasks need to be completed. I should probably set of to do them, but I leave you with this:

Wal-Mart again?

This week has just flew by. How in the world tomorrow is Friday, I don't know. All I do know is that it is and I'm happy! Wal-Mart has now become a place that I hate to go. We spent almost two hours there today. How sad! The women in front of us was printing about three hundred pictures. There should be some type of limit to how many pictures you can just picture right on the spot. Man! :) Other than that I'm having a great week.

Newport Nights

Just last weekend, I decided to take a trip down to Newport with Christy. This proved to be a mistake. Men never do understand how much they scare girls. Never again will I go to Newport by myself.
The Lord protection fools and children. That night I was a fool.
Other than last weekend life has been going great. A little faster than I care for, but thats college.

This summer has been such a blast at times and a drag at others. This picture is from my trip to Holiday World. Such goodtimes are had when you're out with family.

I really don't have much to report. There are plenty of little story, but nothing worth putting on paper. Telling storys to a crowd is always better.

Crazy Life

Sorry for not updating in awhile. Things just seem to get really busy and then poof next thing you know its been months since you have updated your blog and people are screaming and yelling...well maybe not, but yall get it.
I've recently been wondering why in the world I've know tried to purse art school or anything like that. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and wonder where in the world the real you has gone? Well, that is what happened to me today as I looked in the mirror. So, I'm going to stop say no to things and begin to live life as I have always thought that I was.
There it is people...

Not A Fairy Tale

Dear Romeo,
I don't know where you are, but I hope that you'll get here soon. I miss you so much, which is hard to believe...seeing as how I've never met you.
Juliet

I know how stupid that is, but I hope to one day be able to say that I loved someone before I met them. As of right now I know that I totally love someone that I may have never met. How is it that you can't love and miss someone you don't even know? I don't know what the answer is, but I know that its true. Sorry, for the lack of posts...I've been so busy lately doing things. I'll write more later.

Thought

After much thought and prayer I have decided that I need to think and pray more.

Its amazing how God works in our lives in different ways and through different people. I have come to realize this recently. He is so faithful to bring the perfect people into your life exactly when you need them. Its just His way of answering prayers that have gone up. I thank God that He is a loving and giving God. Even when I deserve nothing.

Take Time to Make Memories!

Well, these are just some of the pictures from my Saturday get away. Elizabeth went home with me for my sisters bridal shower. It was interesting as I had never met most of Andrew's( soon to be brother in law) family. They seemed to be very nice and pleasant. After the party all of the bridesmaids went to the mall looking for dresses and then met the groomsmen for supper...T.G.I. Fridays. The poor waiter, he will never again serve us. The meal was great and time spent with people you haven't seen in ages is always good. These pictures came from the booth just outside of T.G.I Fridays. I will have to post the ones that my sister and I took in a different post, at a later time. All in all the day was to put it lightly amazing. Everyone should at some point in their life stop and put the money into these booth the memories are worth every penny....take time to make memories.
