Wow! How things have changed. I feel so good right now! God is just blessing me all the time! I love Him so much! Yeah, going to Nebraska on Sunday night and getting there Monday!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I'm in L.A. again, jumping around because I got accepted to go to camp. I am soooooo excited! Woot woot!
In other news: I cut my finger on the tomato slicer yesterday at work. Hmm...needless to say there's a crater in my finger. I think I chopped off 4 layers of skin. Man, putting alcohol on that thing to clean it! Whoo! It was definitely not something I would have volunteered for.
Oooo oooo! The college group I am in, also started a new Bible study. We are doing "Lies Women Believe," and it's counterpart, "Walking in the Truth." It's really good right now and I am only on Day 2! Anywho, right now we are learning about our enemy, Satan, and how he attacks. How he made his first attack on Eve and all that. It's really good. I started to cry at one point in the intro. It's so sad that we have fallen from our place. Poor Eve, having to take the bulk of this blame.
I have also become, well, it has continued that I have a very sensitive self. I tend to get teary eyed at alot of things now. I never used to do that. It's going to Briercrest, crazy place, opens ya up and lets you heal, what a place, eh? *wink* I like to think that God has given me His heart and now, when something hurts Him, it hurts me too. I don't know if that sounds morbid or whatnot, but yeah.
Laureen and I are going to Chicago today to pick up my school supplies. Man, saying "school supplies" makes me feel like I'm in elementary school again. But, I love school shopping. I was the weird kid who liked buying pencils and folders more than buying a new outfit. But, when ya got hand-me-downs, who needs anything else?! God is so good.
In sister news: Laureen has decided to go to Argentina! Yay! I am really excited for her. Now she has to tell everyone at her old school that she isn't coming back this year..mrr! Laureen also has three jobs. She is surrounded by guys everyday. Some of those guys are "hitting" on her, in the cleanest sense. It's really funny. I love it, because even though she says she's "irritated" by it, I know that it makes her smile inside and I just smile for her. I am so happy that she gets to have positive attention. One guy called the other day and was like, "Your sister is a very beautiful girl." and he told me that he was impressed with her determination and such. Another guy gave her his phone number and when she called him back he kept thanking her. I love it, because I told her what the guy said and I know that such positive comments are going to make her feel so good. She really needs that. (I'm gonna cry now...) but yeah. God loves her so much too and it's so great to see Him blessing her as well. Yeah.
God bless you all.
1 Corinthians 2:9- For no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has in store for those that love Him.
If you love God, obedience will follow. Please, love God.

Making the decision
I just finished watching "Alex and Emma." It was really good, one bad scene, pretty inappropriate. Won't watch it again, but good to see at least once, the message was good. (Lorne, you might like it alittle...talks about, more like meanders on, finding "the One", or the perfect wife.)....
Exciting! One of my poems made it to the semifinals for a poetry scholarship award and they want me to go to D.C. in August...probably won't happen, but sounds very tempting and fun! It is for "Ever So Quietly", a May 15th entry on my mrrmrrmrrmrr.blogspot.com blog.....
I got my hair cut. It's cute. I am learning how to be more feminine and had some fun dressing up last Sunday. I wore a skirt and this really cute blue top I bought (on sale! oh yeah!) a few weeks after I got home....
I will hopefully and very prayerfully be going to Nebraska next week for a week!!!!!!!!!!!!! At orientation last Saturday, the dean of students said, "these three weeks before school starts IS your vacation." So, I am going on vacation and am super, SUPER excited. I love Nebraska and the people there and I just love meeting God there. which reminds me...
I have almost successfully cleaned out my room..just a few more boxes to go through and move around. I have planned to open a space right by the two windows in my bedroom and put this bench in there (that I garbage picked when I was a spiffy-senior in high school! oh yeah! learned that from youth group! oh yeah!) and just be able to read. There's really nowhere in the house right now that me or my sister can go to just be, and it seems like the perfect spot. Right next to the sunshine, on a bench He provided, to just bask in His glory and His warmth and His creation while intellectualizing and washing myself in His past, present, and future, and learning more about Him. Those are just the blueprints of course, but I am excited to finish the project...
In other news: I am deciding to go to culinary school. My college group leaders' wife was talking to Laureen about going to Word of Life Argentina, and she said, "if God hasn't closed the door, than maybe you're supposed to walk through it." Not exact wording, but you get the picture. There have been nothing but open doors for me in this culinary thing. Seriously, I must be honest, not that I haven't been, but I am afraid of going. Not because of the schooling and all that, I am actually very excited. I was a weird kid in High school, I liked homework and projects...ooo..especially research papers..hmmm..anyhow. I am scared of doing a cruddy job of showing these people who Christ is. That's it, I guess. I know that God will work through me and that I have nothing to worry about, but I don't want to let Him down. I work so hard in my life not to let people down, not to get them disappointed in me, yet it happens. Yes, I am a bonafied people-pleaser. But, I want to please God above all and if it means going to culinary school and letting people know who I am in Christ, so be it, even if I fall flat on my face. I love Him and want to serve Him, and right now, that's the only way I know how. I just want Him, I just want His Will for my life.
TTFN. Thanks for listening.

update
I am doing well. Was in a wedding this last Saturday, man what a lot of work it was and just "behind the scenes" was tough. You know all that is going on and man, I have to say that some of it was just mrr! The couple that got married deserved so much better than some of the stuff that got toted their way. Made me wonder, if I ever get married, do I want to go through all of that. Made me think that if I ever did get married, man, I am eloping, or going somewhere like Ireland to have my wedding...whatever...moving on...uhh..I have orientation at CHIC this Saturday, please pray for peace. It is still borderline. I need something definite for me to know that this is THE place for me. We'll see what God does! Eh? I am still considering Cornerstone, which is about 2 weeks away! But my friend from camp last year may want to go...don't know yet. We'll see. Man, usually I have a plan, things are going rockin' and all that. Well things are going rockin' but I definitely don't have a plan. Good thing I'm not worried eh? (I wish Lori Martens lived here, I am in need of a good massage! Woo!) NE whoo...guess I'm outty, gotta stop using computer at 1am, not good, not good!
Oh! One more thing...the Sox whooped some DiamondBack butt tonight! The jr high youth group that I'm involved with went tonight as a summer activity and man! So worth it! It rained abit in the beginning, but than it was totally fine! Give that one to the big Weatherman upstairs! It was tied 1-1 at the end of the 4th and than top of the 5th the DB's got 5 runs, bottom of the 5th, Sox-0. Than, this is the kicker...top of the 6th DB's got nothin'. Guess how many runs the Sox got?!! 10! TEN runs! and two of 'em were homers (one from Frank Thomas) Whoo doggies! Crazyiness! The Sox got one more homer in the 8th inning and the DB's still got nothin'. Man. It was so good, I am still riled up. Score was DB's-6 Sox-12. It was so good. yeah. Need sleep though and y'all are probably sick of reading this thing! No worries. Catch ya lata! Leave a message eh? or e-mail me, either one.
DEz are you still alive? Hi Jo and Dawn! Love you pretty ladies!

Here we go again...
I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but in a way, I really don't like transition.
It's good because it causes you to trust in God way more, because your direction is not yet come to fruition. On the other hand, it's so confusing. Maybe I am making it confusing.
If you go on my other site, mrrmrrmrrmrr.blogspot.com, read the Barlow Girls song. This is my interpretation of what mayhaps is going on?. We'll see. I will not give up on God, if He's being clear. Man, He's so good to me. Lord, open my eyes. Help me to trust You. God I need You so bad.

books
Miss all of you so very much!
1. Total number of books I've owned: don't even ask. I have had to get rid of a few, unfortunately, cleaning requires.
2. Last book I bought: "Women Lies Believe". We are going through this book and it's "helper" book (can't remember the name...) for our college group Bible study...hopefully we'll use the Bible too! =) (big teeth!)
3. Last book I read: "Big Girls don't Whine" I'm still working on it, but...I'm almost done, so it counts in "Crystal World."
4. 5 books that mean a lot to me:
1. Bible
2. My Brian Jacques series
3. Boy Meets Girl
4. Every Young Woman's Battle
5. all the books that trigger my intellectuality and my imagination...who can reallly narrow it down to 5?
Tag 5 people and have them fill this out in their LJs:
1) Dalton
2) Dez (now you have to update your blog! Heehee...)
3) whoever else feels like it...
4) cause I think I covered....
5) everyone who reads this!
