!!!
I want to clearly, intelligently & creatively express myself but my brain is so fried. Crazy busy week of babysitting near every day, VBS kids songs, wall decorating, slip n slides, swimming, perspective teaching plans, hours in starbucks, picking up hitchhikers, loving the body of Christ, loving family, being taught graciously by Christ himself that His love overcomes pain, suffering & death. Life changing things all around, my friends.

1. Majorly feel like traveling... to many places, right now. But first I need to find a traveling buddy or two. :)
2. I want to make scones. Lavender scones. But it has to get overcast and rainy first.
3. Trying to decide between getting my teaching credential to become an English teacher or a K-3 teacher. I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND! :)
4. Thinkin' of maybe movin' to some other city... just for a bit. Nearby probably. Either LA area or somewhere north like Portland or Seattle. Or maybe it won't happen.
5. I really want to write a book and I've been ichin' to work on what I've got so far, but haven't yet...

My Mind
So the bird flew into the window and slid down to the floor. A hush immediately fell over the room and Julian dropped his glass into a shattered mess on the floor. There was no hope. Right then, as beaming from the sky, a lightning bolt struck the roof and it fell off to expose the black coal sky above. And a spotlight from heaven shone down, as a stairway formed and at the top of the steps there stood a lamb. The occupants of the room could do nothing more than fall to the ground in terror. Faces flat, backs quivering. Not a sound was heard, even the creation was subjected to silence. Although it was not but mere minutes that passed, all upon the earth felt it was years before they felt relief enough to move.
It came to sweep me off my feet as an ocean wave in the sea. When I woke up that morning I thought that nothing extra-ordinary appeared to be planned for that day. I simply woke up half grumpy and brushed my teeth, like on any other day. I grabbed my half mug of tea and piled into my car. I was gonna make it just in time for work. Today I would be at S_____ High. Shuffling through the offices, I obtained the keys necessary & headed towards attendance then onto the English Department. Eyes half closed and arms full of books and papers, I shivered as I finally unlocked the door to the barren portable. Rearranging papers and organizing my day, I set my phone to the left of me, directly under my chosen read for the day: "The Holiness of God" by RC Sproul. I walked to the front of the room to write my name on the board when I heard it. My phone was buzzing, so I picked it up to check my message and

Soccer & Water
I love this psychological thriller of a game, where mind reading leads movement, burning muscles and shrieking lungs are endured and ignored. Excitement is heightened and the roar of the crowd is imagined.
I love the refreshment of water. There is a subconscious calling from the insides that leads me to drink deep when I'm in need of energy & draws me to this delicious liquid. It makes everything better. It calms.

To be like Jesus!
"When I don't get what I want... woah
And things take longer than they ought... woah
Waiting's hard for me to do.
But I know one thing that's true.
JESUS, you will always be
Patient, gently teaching me!
I see in You what I wanna be."
Gotta Wait
by Sovereign Grace Kids from this CD:
Wow. I'm picking songs for VBS & to my great surprise children songs off the Sovereign Grace CDs are so solid! (Both biblically and musically.) I would listen to them on my own free time as normal songs! They are so deep and full of conviction. I wasn't expecting it... but these lyrics are just speaking to me! :):)
That "Gotta Wait" song... may I apply this in regards to many situations like job, sanctification, marriage, growing up, understanding, evangelism, etc!
I love this song off the Awesome God album.
Sovereign One
When I’m all alone and afraid
I will trust in You
For You watch over my ways
When things in my life don’t make sense
I will trust in You
For You are good, You are good
Sovereign One
You work all things to Your plan
Sovereign One
You hold all things in Your hands
When I don’t get to have my own way
I will trust in You
For You know what is best
When tears begin to roll down my face
I will trust in You
For You are good, You are good
Perfect in power, You control all things
Perfect in wisdom, You know everything
Perfect in goodness
Jesus, You’re so good to me
So good to me!!
What beautiful lyrics for children to be singing! Oh that the Lord would capture their hearts at an early age! What a mission field! To the children!
And things take longer than they ought... woah
Waiting's hard for me to do.
But I know one thing that's true.
JESUS, you will always be
Patient, gently teaching me!
I see in You what I wanna be."

Live the Gospel
"Whether you are aware of it, what you allow or disallow in your behavior affects your witness for Christ-and the world is watching. It's an issue of testimony-what your life says about God. Your testimony either tells the truth about God, or it tells a lie. The choices you make in the "gray" areas should reflect your concern not to bring offense to God's reputation but to bring Him praise instead."
-John MacArthur

Resolved 2010
I've come home and still can't begin to sort out my thoughts. :)What a blessing.
God loves me. God loves ME.
Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free!
