...Nothing I Want More...

I'm striving to grow stronger. There is nothing I want more than to please my God and become a better me for Him. Some times seem down and look so dim. Those are the times when I need to look straight up to my Maker. "Through You, I can run, dance, live and overcome this world that tries to blind me. I will drown if You don't help me stay afloat." I'm in a whole new boat. As I sit on Young Street, I want to grow older. I realize this discipline can make me more mature. This month has driven me to my knees more than my whole life. The strange part is other parts of my life have been filled with more strife. I will start this climb with determination. I will do anything so I won't hit the bottom. Right now, it feels like this will take forever. "Lord, please give me the patience to get through this."

The Nativity

THE NATIVITY

Among the oxen (like an ox I'm slow)
I see a glory in the stable grow
Which, with the ox's dullness might at length
Give me an ox's strength.
Among the asses (stubborn I as they)
I see my Savior where I looked for hay;
So may my beastlike folly learn at least
The patience of a beast.
Among the sheep (I like a sheep have strayed)
I watch the manger where my Lord is laid;
Oh that my baa-ing nature would win thence
Some woolly innocence.

— C. S. Lewis, from POEMS, edited by Walter Hooper, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1977.

Come fly with me

Michael Buble

Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In lama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there,
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may hear the angels cheer 
Because we're together

Weatherwise it's such a lovely day 
Just say the words, and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away

Once I get you up there,
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may hear all the angels cheer 
Because we're together

Weatherwise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words, and I'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me
Let's fly let's fly
Pack up let's fly away

Yes. It is vacation. Christmas Break!
I'm here at my sister's. I've babysitted my niece, helped cook meals, watched movies, gone to the store, etc. Its not exactly glamorious, but its exactly what I like. Today we helped move some of my other sister's things. There are still a few things to get, but the major things are packed or moved.
Now as soon as we are ready me and my lil' bro are going to see our other bro that's recovering from surgery :) The surgery was complete and my brother has shown good progress. Thank God.



Christmas is a week away. HOOOLLLAAHHH!!!

"Ignorance is your new best friend"

I cannot say that I am completely done with my first semester of college, but it is close. Close as in tomorrow. I just got out of English Comp I and I am excited. It was a very interesting class and over semester at that.
I am sitting here in the school library listening to Paramore- Ignorance. :)
And of course I am on Facebook too, just fulfilling the addiction. HA! I hope next semester is as fulfilling as this one was. But I don't care so much about next semester as I do about Christmas break. YES! That's what I'm talking bout... a nice break!!!

Winter is the End

There is so much warm love inside fighting the cold outside. I sit at my window to see and hear carolers singing their hope of the holiday. Enjoying a crackling fire and some hot cocoa. Someone says "Grab your gloves and hat. Dress from head to toe like an Eskimo. Join me on a sleigh ride." Almost all is gone. There are skaters and fisherman left on the frozen pond. I shiver from old man winter. Mixed emotions are spread between celebrating the best holiday's of the year compared to the deathly chill. The snowflakes are what makes this season so beautiful compared to the green grass and colorful flowers of other seasons. It doesn't matter if it's the form of new life or the passing of it, I can see the hand that created it. God, You created this cycle, teaching me You are there through it all. It doesn't matter where I am in life, You direct and guide it. Jesus take my seasons. Don't let me go through a new set of seasons without seeing Your power and having You in it.

A miracle of Love

I just got done signing in and looking over the pamphlet from the drama performed friday, saturday and tonight.God really helped everyone. I love the feeling of being behind stage and actually knowing what's going on or supposed to be going on. :) I really enjoyed being in it, but I am even more glad that it is over. It means that finals are ahead then we shall be blessed with Christmas break. YES!!! Finals will be interesting, but I know God will help me and that's the way to get through anything.

Now

Well, right now the dress rehearsal we had tonight is on my mind. With the pizza and ice cream we had afterward provided by the student council. The drama team and choir still needs practice and prayer, but what I've seen from other years here, it always turns out nice. The English and Music class assignments are both on my mind too. Some things are becoming easier and others are becoming harder. These two last weeks of this semester are quite tough. I do seem to be staying afloat and it will only stay that way with God. I think I shall go depart for my bed so it will be easier on my eyelids in class tomorrow. They seem to get quite heavy at times.

*I crack up laughing to myself cause I just heard two guys talking in the hall way about their girlfriends. It seems to them that females, especially their g/fs, always seem to have the last word.*
