the first part is cute, the second part is HILARIOUS...I laughed alot.
A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty,
>
> He said...no.
>
> She asked him if he would want to be with her forever...and
> he said no.
>
> She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and
> once again he replied with a no.
>
> She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming
> down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said...
>
>
> You're not pretty you're beautiful.
>
> I don't want to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you
> forever.
>
> And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die...
>
>
> SO NOW I WILL SAY:
>
> I like you because of who you are to me...A true friend.
> (sounds genuine...but wait...there are strings...)
> And if I don't get this back I'll take the hint.
> (see..)
> Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they like
> you.
> (whoa!...better get forwarding....)
> Something good will happen to you at 1:00-4:00 PM
> tomorrow.
> (narrowed time, could be legit...)
> It could be anywhere -- AOL, Yahoo, outside of school,
> anywhere.
> (your love of your life will instant message you...that's exactly
the way I want it to happen...)
> Get ready for the biggest shock of your life.
> (I've already been shocked with laughter...)
> Please send to 15 people in 15 minutes.
> (oh....there it is...all coming together now...)
> Remember:
>
> "A good friend will come bail you out of jail....
>
> But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying ... "WE
> screwed up, but we had fun! "
So, what how does being a true friend and sending an e-mail to 15 ppl in 15
minutes connect? Is your best friend going to realize they love you?
This is so silly...I am still diverted!
Have fun home-g's. Hope you got a laugh out of this too! Tuesday, April 18, 2006

an mooshoo update...
Hello all! I am currently at school. My 11am class got canceled, love the teacher, but she also coaches....recruiting, etc. means missing classes...mrr...but that's ok. I got to spend some time reading and with Jesus. So it was all good. Lost my credit card a week ago and couldn't find it. Finally called it in as lost on Saturday, realizing that I would probably find it than. Well, my assumption was correct. It was hiding in my address book that was in my backpack...hmmm... Wonder what that says. But it's all good. I knew it was somewhere and God was taking care of it. I think that was God's way of telling me to cancel it. But...mrr. Life is good. Man, I just have to tell you that I am reading this book called, "Dare to Desire" by John Eldredge...so amazingly good. Soulfood. I just love it, this is the second time I am reading through it, though I highlighted the important stuff, so I'm reading that plus a few other things that catch my eye. He goes into thought about how society has formed us to deny our desires and be prim and proper, efficient and nice. Who wants to be merely nice? I want to be dangerous, in a good way. Y'know....let's see if I can find the passage...
Tangent...here's a good one:
"God has rigged the world so that it only works when we embrace risks as the theme of our lives, when we live by faith."
He says that you can find your desire....
"How is God's department: He is asking you what. What is written in your heart? What makes you come alive?"
ooooo....
here's another one....
"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
Here's more of a gender-separate thing:
"Most men in church seem to believe that God put them on the earth to be good boys. The problem with men, we are told, is that they don't know how to keep their promises, be spiritual leaders, talk to their wives, or raise their children. But, if they will try hard they can reach the lofty summit of becoming a really nice guy. Now, male readers, in all your boyhood dreams, did you ever dream of just becoming a nice guy? Ladies, was the prince of your dreams dashing? or merely nice? And what of a woman's heart? How has life handled her deepest desires? The world kills a woman's heart when it tells her to be tough, efficient, and independent. She learns early that she must fight for herself because no one else will. There is no great adventure to be swept up into, only chores and errands and "to do" lists. And the arrow that pierces her heart over the years leave her doubting she may be the beauty in any story....You'd have to admit a Christian woman is tired. All we've offered the feminine soul is pressure to "be a good servant." Ladies, which would you rather have said of you -- that you are a "tireless worker," or that you are a "captivating woman?"
And men, which would you rather be said of you: "Harry? Sure I know him. He's a real sweet guy." Or, "Yes, I know all about Harry. He's a dangerous man...in a really good way."
....
What happens when we abandon the deepest desires of our own heart is that we end up ruled by others' desires and demands."
That last bit there is funny, because if everyone else's desires are being lived through "us" than we will live our desires through someone else b/c we never were able to live them b/c we were too busy and pressured to live someone else's. Are we all living someone elses' life? Hmmm....
Food for thought.
Well, I must go, I have a date....with the most dangerous Man of all. Also, wanted to say, this week has been wonderful and pray for me as I continue to share my relationship with Jesus with my unsaved friends. For summer staff!!! and for the concert I'm in next week....yay!
My plan for the rest of my life is to fulfill my God-given desires which include but are not limited to: singing, baking, missions work, and being friends with the unsaved....
What are yours?
Always in Christ,
C.

and God said.
AND GOD SAID...
===============
I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, "I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That's why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That's why I gave you sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That's why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, It is such a loss."
And God said, "I saw mine nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on my right and yours is in the light."
I said, "God it hurts."
And God said, "I know."

I find myself in a slightly crazy situation. So much to do, yet I'm a worried little, so far. Finished my math exam today to the minute and a few over. I hope stress doesn't overtake me, though tiredness has. I think I am exhausted. My brain exhausts me. I love to stay up and do things. Though I spend the day trying to stay awake. No dice. I miss friends. But I am excited about my outreach here. God has truly blessed me with a place to show His love for the unsaved. I hope they see Him, it's not like I'm not getting an ample amount of opportunities to talk and share Him with others. I love it. I love to talk about Him. I think it makes others uncomfy. I told a few of my friends in class, if I may call them that, that I am so glad to have Him b/c He directs me and shows me where I should go. He is my Provider and my Maker and I am not to be ashamed of Him. I find that the more times I am bold about Him to others, the more I find others who follow Him. I was open about Him in the school bookstore and the lady I was talking to also knows Him and it was wonderful to talk. So much Jesus to spread around and so little time. I am glad to go to a community college where my outreach is bigger. I love the ppl there though I cannot accept what they do or how they act or what they say as right or agreeable. But I love them just the same. As long as they know who my number 1 is...I was listening to a sermon from the Evangelical Free Church here in town and his topic was reaching out. Not using hanging out with unbelievers to be able to sin....like going to a bar and getting drunk b/c than you can have an opportunity to talk about Jesus. He said, "They don't want you to live like them. They want to see that you have something they don't. If you act just like them, why would they want what you have, they already have it." Obviously not verbatim, but amazingly so, I was struck and nearly cried by the end of the sermon. There are so many out there who don't know Christ and we are content to stay in our Christian clans. Not that that is entirely bad, we need our support structures, but there is so much more to this life than me and sometimes, alot of times, I am good at forgetting that.
I am wearing earplugs right now. I am trying to experience a bit of what someone who is partially deaf experiences. It's really frustrating. Not being able to hear all the way. Class was difficult and talking in the car was worse. I decided that someone who has even partial hearing usually feels better off just not participating, than having to worry about talking too loud, not being able to hear the response, etc., etc. It really makes me wonder how bad my hearing will be when I am older. I went to alot of loud concerts and that damage cannot be undone. Though the concerts rocked, was it worth it? Don't know, we'll see..or hear I guess...
Looks like I will be moving to Denver in the fall and attending the Art Institute of Colorado. It's a stretch for me, b/c I think I am going into the 2 year program...eeeeh! Not sure if that's gonna tickle my fancy later on, but I've been praying for awhile and peace is all I got...so, God has never steered me wrong. I'm pretty sure He wouldn't start now...=)
I love God, alot. I find His Word so refreshing and enlightening. Even Numbers, which most find trying, though not as trying as Leviticus. I just love it, so many questions have come to my head. I love to ask them cause I want to talk about God. That's one thing I find kind of frustrating while in a Christian community. It's so easy not to talk about God, b/c you know everyone is a Christian. Not that talking about other stuff is bad, but I want to talk about God. I want to know what He's doing in your life, cause He's rockin' mine. I don't know. Maybe it's just me.
Well, I wanted to be home about 9, so I gotta scoot.
Always in Christ,
Crysta!
P.s. Mexico was amazing and worth every minute, second, dollar...I loved it.

the last week...
I am back. I was in Mexico on a missions' trip with a couple churches from Colorado Springs. Amazing ppl. We built a 16' * 16' house for a family of 5. We also finished a bathhouse and an outdoor eating area that has a roof, no walls...I also learned how to drywall! Yay for new skills. We went to Tecate, in Baja California. It was super fun and I have to say hanging out with the Harris fam was a BLAST! They are so fun. I got back Tuesday afternoon after quite an interesting return. I had planned to come home (I just called MBC home...) on Monday night, but all the tickets were sold out...no dice. So I bought a ticket to leave from the Springs instead and went back with the Harris (mom and sister Anna...both so cute!) ladies. We stopped at Jamba Juice and than to Walmart to purchase some good for supper. Hmmm...pizza and double choc chip cookies...than we rolled in the street and "yelled" "I'm a big burrito the kind you like to eato!" It was so fun and, yeah it was lots of fun. I hope to go hiking or camping with them when I move to Denver in the fall. So great is God. He gave me a wonderful week and a renewed passion. Though my mind moves a thousand miles an hour. I have a lot weighing on my mind. Something in particular I have been addressed with that requires a closeness with Jesus that I am always excited to engage in. I am really tired and will mop the gym tonight. Tomorrow is skate night. It will be fun. Do you ever not want to be where you are, yet love it? Ever wonder if what you're doing really counts for eternity, when alot of times, it just doesn't feel like it? I have some hefty decisions to make by the weekend really. A visit to the Art Institute of Colorado in Denver has given me excitement and peace about attending there, confirming that is where God wants me. However the 11-week program I want to go into won't be covered by financial aid b/c it's not for a degree, I would have to take out another loan. However, if I decide to, I can go into the AA for Baking and Pastry and be covered by financial aid. I think that would be ok, but that means no MBC next summer and possibly no Mexico in March next year. Sadness. I have given this to God and know He will let me know, but also b/c specialty school now require that if you are under 24, you must file under parents for FAFSA, me momma will be getting a call. I think I still am pretty homesick, plus I left a bunch of ppl I became good friends with, sadness again. I miss my mom. My dad scared me the other day, he texted me something like, "What did you hear from Laureen?" I was like, he's engaged. He's not, but I haven't even met her yet. Truth? I don't want to. I'm not even sure why. I just don't. I'll probably meet her in June when I attend one of my friend's weddings, well I'm friends with both of them. Anyhow, I just went on my old college groups' new site, man it's pretty sweet. www.STUFT.org it's pretty rockin'. I miss them too. I miss worshipping with them. They started this Friday night college worship thing and man, I won't be there. Kinda stinks but I am so so so so so so excited for them! I hope they get some good hipe and attendence shoots high!
Well, I have to go mop the gym now. I was rollar skating earlier and messing around and totally fell on my elbow and shoulder, they're a bit sore right now, but I'll ice when I get home. It's raining right now. I didn't drive. I think I'll have to book it home. Can't wait to call my mom tonight. Pray for decisions if you remember. Miss y'all! Stay tight and if you ever have the opportunity to go on a mission's trip, do it. Well, pray about it, but go. It's so worth it, though I have to really get siked up for work now, but it could be tiredness as well, no worries. I love God so much and He's doing some amazing things in my life. I am so grateful. I am so blessed. I hope I always realize how blessed I am.
