Fear not, for I am with you.


Theres nothing like the body of Christ working together, praying together, encouraging one another...

i am so blessed to be part of a kingdom where we love one another, where we are there for one another, where we are there to pick up one another.

Pray for me... because our prayers really do CHANGE things...

and our Jesus made that clear to us throughout history... and throughout the present.

Im so thankful for my brothers and sisters in Christ. 

I cannot even begin to tell you how much i appreciate all your prayers.

Thank you. I love you. God bless.

<3

"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saves a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now, I'm found
Was blind, but now, I see

Twas grace that taught me heart to fear
And fear, His grace relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour i first believed

My chains are Gone
Ive been Set Free
My God, My Savior--Has ransomed Me
And like a flood, His Mercy Reigns
Unending Love...
Amazing Grace."

My chains are gone, Ive been set free.


Sooo YAYYYY TO NOT BEING SICK ANYMORE! I really dont like feeling like poop, its probably the worst thing ever for someone like me, who loves to be loud and energetic. But all is well... i still have a little cough but for the most part, im allls better. :]

Its been a week since my last blog, and i must say much has happened. Ok, let me re-word that, not much has actually "happened"... but my eyes have been opened to a lot. 

Right now, i am pretty much in the middle of a whole lot of mess... and its been hurting me on a level i didnt understand for almost months now, but i had this revelation, really, that God does have it all under control. The God is doing so many things around. That when i think to worry, to lay it at His feet, because that is the best place to lay all my worries and problems...

I have been pretty stressed out about what my next move would be. Im done with school, i had my graduation ceremony, i even got chosen to be a speaker at the ceremony itself, and yet i felt like i was going no where. I've been so over-worked up over what i was going to do, where i was going to do it, WAS I GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT in the first place... to sum it up, i was under-estimating ME. I realized that not only was i under-estimating myself, but i was under-estimating my God, my Lord, my Savior----which is RIDICULOUS!

I KNOW that God has big plans for me... that even if my own brain is telling me that im not good enough for this, or good enough for that, that this person wont pull through, that this person isnt behind me... it doesnt even amount to how much GOD is there with me. That what is meant to be mine WILL BE MINE. And i just need to spend more time with God, to pray more, to LISTEN more, to OBEY more. If i just follow what He says, and trust in HIS plans... it'll all work out more beautifully than i ever even imagined myself. Because of THAT, im so excited to get started.

Ultimately--i want to move to NYC for a few years, get some experience, build a resume, learn from the best, and then hopefully, with the Lord's strength, one day be able to not work UNDER these people, but BESIDE these people. I eventually want to move to LA, and settle down there. I want to raise my family in sunny CA. People are nicer, things aren't as busy and crazy, and the educational system there is amazing. Not to mention, some of the coolest styles and musicians are in LA. These things have been revealed to me over time, and were revealed to me when i PRAYED about it. I kept telling myself that im not good enough to do these big things, but it wont just be me-- bc God does bigger and better things than this, and He will help me persevere. and in THAT i do trust. THAT i do KNOW and BELIEVE.

Soo many people are behind me, so many people believe in me... now damnit, I just need to believe in myself...

Ive been humble this entire ride.... now i must be both humble, but be confident. And by golly-- I AM ONE STRONG ASS CHICK. I might be little, i might be goofy, i might be a huge dork, but i am hella-tough. I just need to re-focus my badassness into my career and all the things that God has for me... I need to not sit back and wait for it to come to me, but go after it with all my heart and all my God given strength.

So in the next few weeks, i will be doing some big things. I will be getting ready and practicing for my state boards. I will be setting up interviews in NYC and Philly even. I will be searching and listening to God for a mission opportunity. I will be getting up and standing strong with my God, and going after the things that i want to happen. Strength doesn't come from outside one's self, but from WITHIN one's self. And i have a whole lot of strength from the Holy Spirit. And THAT kind of strength cannot be penetrated.

What would i do without my Jesus??

NOTHING. I could not do anything.

Well i could do some things... but, poop, i know they wouldn't amount to anything truly good. 

:]

FLU=CLOSEST THING TO HELL IVE EVER FELT!

So after my last post...i pretty much went thru a 48 hour period of my life where i never wished to die more than i did in those 48 hours...

i had a 103.6 degrees fever from friday night thru this morning and let me inform everyone who has never had the flu- IT SUCKED. My legs felt like i ran about 2034028 miles...and i run A LOT so that SUCKED. My entire body couldnt decide if it was cold or on fire...so it decided to be both at the same time...and that SUCKED. And then on top of that...my fever made my head feel like it was gonna melt right off of me neck. I love my Lord, my God...and i think that was the first time i ever prayed to die bc i couldnt deal with the pain anymore... i know... i sound like a drama queen... was it that bad?? YES. But im sure that there is worse...and for that reason... i want to make sure i find a missions trip to go on this summer that deals with the sick...

Speaking of mission trips...ive been in search for one to go on for this summer. I'll hopefully be working in NYC by April so i wont be able to do a long one...but i am interest in doing one for about a week-10 days. I want to go outta the country and work with either children or the sick... If anyone has any information or knows a good organization pleaseeeeee feel free to let me know! Any help in this department will be greatly appreciated!

I feel like such a waste by sitting here in my 3 story house...driving my luxury car... wearing my over-priced clothing... eating my fattening foods...knowing that there are people all over the world who cant even enjoy one outta the 4 things i just listed. It breaks me heart to know i am so fully capable to help someone else...to go out and take part in doing God's work... and instead... im not. But i promise myself...and i promise to God...that i WILL. I wanna go where HE is leading me tho...not on my own terms...but instead on HIS terms. I want to go where HE sends me... bc i know He'll send me where HE knows i am needed... Im just so filled with the love of Jesus and excited to know that i can and WILL do something... that i dont know where to start!!! Im ready and waiting to pour this love out... i wished more people were excited to take part in doing just that...

 Besides my death-wishing sickness and my serious hunger to do some evangelizing... every single day i fall more and more inlove with my matthew. Funny how after 2+ years with a person...you think you couldnt be more inlove with that person than you are at that present moment... it really throws me off when i spend another day with him. Babe--i know i yell at you a lot... and i complain about your annoying habits... but when its all said and done, i love you more than you know... more than i knew i could love someone else... My matthew loves me more than i deserved to be loved... but he does that...and more (if you could understand) Even though i think Valentines day is a complete joke... and that this year i was half dead in my bed... you still manage to warm my heart with goofy cards, chocolates and kisses...

Now that my head isnt pounding anymore... im gonna go read a book. :]

What better then being inlove??
i think the answer is... to be loved.

<33>

p.s. ya know the show 'engaged and underage' on mtv? there was a couple on there who started this really neat organization. If you have some extra time on your hands, i highly recommend checking it out... google it-- The Love Alliance.

green tea = :]






I woke up today all pumped to go work out...

then noon came--and i started feeling icky..

i sucked it up...got ready for work... even had a lil photo-session with my macbook. (i have way too much fun making stupid faces at myself.)

got to work...

and then--BAM!

my ickyness turned into pure hell....

so here i am...on a friday night... wrapped up like a giant eggroll and drinking some tea.

i dont like being sick... im too used to being loud and goofy to feeling like some monstrous vacuum came and sucked the energy right outta me....and replaced my energry with an abundance of sneezes and yuck-ness. :(

NO USE IN MOPING THO!!! Bc i love green tea in general... and being sick makes me enjoy it even more! :) and tomorrow is Valentines Day!

Soooo poo on you Friday the 13th, you royally are a crap day today... but you cannot defeat me and my optimism--bc today will be full of love and chocolates circulating the sweet air.

I wish everyday ppl would do things to show other how much they appreciate their significant other, not just on a day that i am convinced that Hallmark made up to increase their profits...along with the florists, chocolate makers, and teddy-bear stuffers!

Either way...all the fuzzynes makes me a big ball of cheese!!! Smiles to all the lovers and to all the ppl without Valentines...i say get together with your single friends--get the most fattening food you can think of, bake a chocolate cake--and make sure it includes LOTS of icing, drink some wine, and spend time loving eachother!!! :]

We'll Stop the Clocks Together




Can i please just inform everyone that i feel like a complete bum right now?? 

ok...moving along....

So last night me and Hilary (aka LARY!) went to go see a show... It was in Lancaster (like an hour...45 mins from here) and we got stuck in some MAJOR traffic. Traffic drives me nuts. If i have a book... or my journal to write...im usually pretty content anywhere...but i didnt have any of these things...and i was not content. Not one bit. But its ok...bc we got to the show eventually...

When we finally got there, the place was PACKED. Packed full of 10-16 year olds... After that age group...were parents. Needless to say, i think me and lary are getting on the old side of things. Weird.

The band we were there to mainly see was The Cab. (Kudos! You guys put on an amazing show as always! :]) When their set was over, me and lary were standing by the merch stuff and good ol' marshall came strolling along and of course, he got bombarded by fans for pics and autographs... And i could see him looking at me thru my peripheral vision. (lol)

I waited for ppl to clear some space up around him, and i moseyed on over and said hi and of course, he remembered me from the 5 times i saw and talked to him in like a month's time back in october. "HEY FAMILIAR FACE! YOUR THE FIESTY GIRL WITH THE ATTITUDE." He never fails to make me laugh...or feel slightly awkward. lol

Good times, good times.

Seeing him and The Cab brought me back to a few instances back in October where i met panic...quite a few times.... And then hung out with Ryan and Jon. Wow-- weird how God throws curve balls at you sometime. I sometimes look back and question how that all happened, and why that all happened. I guess time will tell...

I wonder if that night ever really made a difference, bc it made a difference to me... but then again i guess im just a dreamer...or maybe im not? Who knows... only in time.

If you read this--i miss you, and your pink socks. :]

The fact that MARSHALL remembered me makes me wonder if you(s) remember me?
Do random things that bring you back to that night remind you of me?
Did i say anything stupid, or not say anything i shouldve?
Am i ever gonna get the chance to hang out again?
Do you guys normally hang out with people, get to know them a little, and never speak again?

So many ?'s...no where to get the answers...

Life is sure strange....

Or maybe im just the strange one?
