my christmas...
...was good....
So considering all i had a good christmas I was at rachels house( actually still am till the fifth when i go to minnesota), havent been doing alot, just chillaxing with rachel and her family( went to caitlins house on friday and came back to rachels house today) currently watching the Ringer with Sarah, rachels little sister. Btw the game loaded questions is a fun adventure...played it a couple of times with rachels family.

Gotta Be Somebody
By Nickelback
This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I´ll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
We'll play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I`ll be holdin’ my own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with
Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.
`Cause nobody wants to go in on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.
Tonight out on the street out in the moonlight
And damn it this feels too right
It´s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin’ here with you
So I´ll be holdin`my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment whenI
find the one that I'll spend forever with?
‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There´s gotta be somebody for me like that.
`Cause nobody wants to go in on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.
You can´t give up!
When you're lookin´ for that diamond in the rough
When you're lookin´ for that diamond in the rough
Because you never know but when it shows up
Make sure you´re holdin` on
‘Cause it could be the one, the one you´re waiting on
‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh.
Nobody wants to go in on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.
Nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there.
This is currently my favorite song, it pretty much says what i am feeling!!!!

It is quite beautiful, it makes me dream of things to come, the joy they shall bring and the pain that may lay ahead, but I know with God by my side all will be made right in His time.

I just want to say God has blessed me so immensly with great friends who are like family to me and he knew i would need that and man isnt he amazing???

the journey...
...to the college life christmas party...
So caitlin and i went to the college life christmas party but what a journey it was to get there lol...we drove up and down this one road i swear 4 times looking for elk grove, called someone twice and stopped at a gas station before finally getting there off a different road(thank you gas station attendant!) We were laughing so hard we were crying, because we were pretty sure we were retarded but then when leaving we discovered you turn on violet then elk grove and thus was our problemo lol... had fun playing mennonite madness and there was a white elephant gift exchange and my desired gift got stolen at the last minute(an aubrey hepburn breakfast at tiffany's photo) and i ended up with some anti static cling spray....sad sad day though Sallianne did have to rap you are my sunshine to take my prized possesion which made the loss a little more bearable.... one really cool idea was that everyone had to bring two dozen cookies then each person made up a plate of a dozen or so and we put a christmas card on them and then you give them to your neighbors...i think its thoughtful and brilliant...
so tomorrow night i have a wedding to go to, my first one in like 2 years lol...it should be beautiful and i am excited...so much love to you all and a good night too...may God grant you great peace and joy today and forever more!!!

my trip to kali...
....was AMAZING...(well mostly)
So wow ya like 2 weeks ago friday i left to Kalispell to chill for like an extended weekend... I stayed with Rachel...i cant even describe how good it was to see her...my best friend! I hadnt seen her since July like the day before she left for africa... well Saturday we went to lunch at my favorite restaraunt Hu Hot... and then we stopped by famous daves to say hi to greg(havent seen him since graduation) I am not sure i can describe the awkwardness...i would say this was the "bad" part of the trip i wanted to i guess chill with my friend Greg before he left but mostly everytime i saw him it was pretty much extremely awkward..I am not sure if its cause we hadnt seen each other in awhile but mostly i think it was because i used to like him and now he has a girlfriend...well then later that afternoon i chilled with rach and sarah... sunday=church, and i forget what we did that night...lol... monday i went to lunch with matt and we looked around the mall and then picked up rachel:), i got made major fun of cuz matt and rach say i have become even more earth muffin since moving to bozeman...but hey thats who i am and i am chill with that now...didnt used to be...i have always kinda been this way but in my family is was something that i got made fun of for...so i guess in some ways i hid it...anywho tuesday... went to leap with Justin...so good to see him, and so comfortable he is like a brother to me..i love that kid..(he is like 2 years older than me but...:))... it was good to be at leap too...then tuesday night we(rach,matt,and I) went to jonathan and emily's for dinner..it was nice..the dinner (gado gado) was SOOOOOOOO good...greg stopped by to say goodbye..agian WAY awkward...Also i say with great sadness i didnt get to see my friend Jeffy!! Oh btw i saw Coco and Brandon so that was sweet..didnt expect to see them... so overall a good trip...being with the people who know the real me and love me is so comforting and fabulous...man just talking to rachel in person..dying of laughter... oh and laughing so hard at matt( he was running low on sleep:) so funny!)
Okay so ya what else is new?? For thanksgiving i am going to minnisota with my friend Demina...in case you are wondering she got out of icu sunday and then on monday got out of the hospital so she is much much better..Thank you Jesus!!!
So i was contemplating my year at BSBI and this is the conclusion i came to i would so do it agian knowing everything taht would happen i would so do it agian and i am not sure i would change anything...well i guess the times i was a jerk(sorry greg and justin)...it was very sad when rachel left but weirdly i dont think i would change that because it made me step out of her shaddow and make an effort with people and build my own relationships.. i was forced to grow..man i missed rachel and lurve her so MUCH!!
So i just decided i am going to the dominican republic june 15th-27th with dawn and one of her friends on a missions trip... I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!! Its a dream come true!
okay so my sister showed a picture of me to the girls at her work..they said we look alike but i look much older what do you think???( people also say she looks russian..NO)

Oh ya there is this new verse that i love..Zephaniah 3:17 is still my fav but this one is up there
" The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of darkness, a light has dawned." Isaiah 9:2
( Holman Christian Standard)
Its so talking about Jesus coming..wow how beautiful!

sometimes praying...
through the tears brings healing...
have you been where you thought you were over something, but then something happens and you realize maybe you werent? Today that happened to me but the minute the tears began the prayers also began of blessing and joy for those involved and i could feel the release, the final healing..i think that prayer through the tears is probably what God wanted from me from the start...so there is my insight for the day:)
so last night i went bowling at the msu bowling alley with some friends...it was fun..but shock of all shocks i lost..wow imagine that with my intense bowling skills who would have thought:)? Then we returned to the dorms and a group of us played Quelf omg that is the funniest/funnest game i have ever played in my life... I havent laughed so hard in a long time..i was crying i was laughing so hard... i reccomend this game for everyone its super great and SO MUCH FUN!!! so ya that is pretty much it for today:)
I asked my two best freinds and my sister to describe me... Dawn:honest,genuine,giving,super-sensitive,intelligent Dawn also described me in non adjectives...Moon, old faithful,cherries,teddybear,and lilacs
Katie:joyful,opintionated,conservative,introverted.loyal
Rachel:faithful, passionate,compassionate,joyful,and god focused

what is sin...
.... is shyness???...
today i came to the conclusion that it is, if it makes you not reach out to people or just i guess take an interest in than yes it is, my friend Matt says its not and that i am just trying to overcome my shyness and want to find a reason why i should. He claims that God creates people shy but i have yet too see how that is glorifying to Him. A quiet spirit or quietness maybe of actually for sure but shyness not really. I guess i am on some levels confused on this... I feel that sometimes i come across as a snob and that's not something i want. Maybe its just me not being content in who God made me... i don't know i guess i am struggling with this issue now so if y'all have any input let me know)
Well i am making friends and i don't hate it here anymore:) that's a good sign right??? Classes are still going well. Halloween is coming up and i am pretty much excited. I shall be a basketball player lol...with an Afro:) so what else shall i share? oh yes i went to this thing called A call to worship Sunday night at msu and it was so great just to worship God and feel the weight of the world fall away, and then Caitlin my roommate and i then sang worship songs on the walk back underneath the stars it was really beautiful and just calming i guess. I am also still working on the whole contentment issue but i think i am getting better thank you God! so ya oh and on sunday after church Caitlin and i went to our first home away from home meal with the couple that "adopted" us. I really enjoyed that, they are very neat people. It didnt feel really awkward which is always nice ya know? well i have class tonight and some homework to do actually.... I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hopefully i will keep more up with this:)

Breath
Taking a deep breath
Reminds me I am alive
Alive for what I ask?
Am I alive to wander,
To slowly crawl,
To glory You?
Your deep voice,
Resonates in my heart
To glory Me.
I desire you to glory Me
Even when taking a deep breath
You shout into my heart.
Heart
My heart is yours
From the day I was born
for you it was meant
I do not know your name
Oh but God does
For he created you
There were times when I desired
To give my heart away
Oh but God prevented that
He knew the day would come
When with tears of joy
I would want to gift you with my whole heart
That day has not yet come
I am holding onto God
Fully trusting in His plan
For one day upon you my eyes will fall
And with Gods leading
My heart you’ll hold
Thoughts
Thoughts criss-cross my mind
Missing the familiar
What does my future hold?
Why would our magnificent God choose me?
Does anyone want to be my friend?
Then I am reminded you gently calling
I have loved you with an everlasting love
That is why I have chosen you
And yes though the world may seem to forsake you
I will be your friend

poem from this summer....
...that i found in a notebook..
O God
Even when my heart breaks in half
I will find my joy in you
You would take my broken heart,
over no heart at all.
O God you are my God
I will find who i am in you
God you don't make mistakes
You are the perfect creator of all
Oh God you are my God
I am fearfully
fearfully and wonderfully made
You sculpted me with utmost care and precision
O God you are my God
I am content in who you've made me to be
There one day will be the one
He will appreciate who you've molded me to be
Until that day comes I'll cling to you
O God you are my God
I will find my joy in you

....scary...
...can be life sometimes...
so life sure can be awkward,weird and scary and full of sadness sometimes. So this weekend i learned that a guy who went to my high school committed suicide. Many of my high school friends were close with him and this brings me much sadness! Then yesterday i was also informed that a guy who was a year ahead of me in high school shot his father. Those are just things that happened in this area recently...i mean today i went to the fox news website and all over the place their is reports of people(kids) being shot,stabbing one another and even a 100 year old lady shot and killed. It brings me much sadness to see this disparity in our human race... so that's my feelings on that...Well i am in bozeman now and its an interesting thing... I have three other housemates and two of those three never seem to be around so i really don't know them at all..but the other one is pretty awesome and i enjoy spending time with her...the other two seem really nice but i still don't know much about them... so lets see today is the first day of class and i had to be here at 7 for devotions but then the next thing i have is chapel at 11 am rar so i am sitting here in the library chilling and drinking coffee so ya that's all for now folks lol... love you guys!

... good sense of humor to you?...
So my cousin works at Macy's and friday i went to see her do her dance performance there well i met her co-worker Jim and so today when Jayme went to work he told her that i had a good sense of humor because he could see it in my eyes! If thats not crazy i dont know what is... also her boss said i was shy lol and then earlier last week like wednesday i think i met her friend Ben from her old job and he texted her later and said i seemed like a sweetheart but i was shy... This is the first time in my life i have met people and then had them comment on what they think i am like..its actually pretty entertaining to see how people judge you, ya know? Well i thought i would share that with yall loves to you...its a wonder...
...what God can do...
so awhile back i was dealing with some matters of the heart, i couldn't really talk to a person because of my feelings about that person, so i did the "thing" and told them that my side of the relationship had to change, well its wasn't much later one night in chapel at camp i chose a random worship song we hadn't done all summer;
Surrender

Surrender
I'm giving you my heart, and all that is within
I lay it all down for the sake of you my King
I'm giving you my dreams, I'm laying down my rights
I'm giving up my pride for the promise of new life
And I surrender all to you, all to you
And I surrender all to you, all to you
I'm singing You this song, I'm waiting at the cross
And all the world holds dear,
I count it all as loss For the sake of knowing You
for the glory of Your name
To know the lasting joy, even sharing in Your pain

and for some reason well i loved it the first time, but it just really hit me the second day we sang it...all of a sudden i was on my knees crying( i am sure my girls thought i had lost my mind) that it needs to be something i am living not just singing and its amazing how God can change your heart, your feelings,and your attitude... i am sharing this with the whole not talking thing because God changed my perspective on that He is ultimately in control and i should surrender to Him my feelings and desires and He will take care of them, and i shouldn't shut people out of my life just because it might make my life a little uncomfortable or anything of the sort... i finally felt like i could share this um not sure why or if anyone cares..but there you go.. i actually haven't talked to anyone at all about this yet lol.. love you mucho mas

...the next step...
....of the journey of my life and past happenings...
So camp is over...it was a sad sad day! But the last two weeks were good! All boys was fun with my girls, it was sad to say goodbye to Kristine and Thomas but mostly Kristine:) But they had to go so they could get married lol:) ha ha sad we had to miss the wedding... well lets see what else about all boys week... i got dehydrated and really tired so didn't feel so well one day till i had a three hour nap and drank some water then i felt better lol... its weird what tiredness can do to you, i felt like i was going to throw up... so ya i just read my last post holy cow random weirdness:)!
ok so then it was all girls junior and i had fifth graders. My girls were great i loved them a lot. I didn't have any bad cabins this summer( just some campers i didn't like as much as the other ones:) but no bad ones) God surely did bless me but then our God is pretty much the rockinest thing ever! Ok so ya Jesse and Heidi Jost were the speakers, it was good. It just didn't seem like the gospel was really presented which made me sad, but the girls enjoyed it and got stuff out of it which is always beneficial. Well then it came time to say goodbye to my girls and that was sad man i loved spending time with such godly woman who inspire me to be all God created me to be, and allow me to be who i am and love me still.
So then i rode with Rebecca to helena to stay with my aunt and cousin till school starts the 27th well school doesnt start till the 3rd but oreintaion stuff starts the 29th. Well i am so enjoying my time with my Aunte'B and cousin Jayme. They are amazing and its great to see how we have grown up and how we can now be friends unlike a lot of the time when we were little. I will share more about my time after i leave because then it will be complete:) though today Jayme has a dance team thing at Macys and i am SO excited to see her dance.
Ok so about school I will be going to Montana Bible College in bozeman. I could only be a part time student this fall, but i will be full time spring semester. So that ment i had to find a place to live which was a little scary well then i texted Angie and told her about it, so she told me i should call Kim because she might know of a place and so i did so and Kim called me back and said the place she was staying didn't have any more room but she had heard of this other house that had a room left and gave me the girls name Rachel and her number so i called and got the place. All i know is there are three other girls around my age, they are Christians, one is named Rachel, guys are not allowed to spend the night,it is an alchohol free house and that they like kids. All she asked me was how old i was and then told me those things the other girls or she had decided on and asked if i liked kids. So it was really easy..actually i just called and got the girls names lol... well God is good and i have to go love yall

larva infestations,yelling campers,missoula...
... and just camp life in general...
so i am at camp lol... just finished up week three of actually camp and week four of being here..( staff training, junior week 1, high school, and then camp promise 1)... talk about hard,fun,rewarding, and stretching adverntures in my life.... so there are four girl counselors here for the whole summer....( and others who are here random weeks)... Angie is 19, Rebecca is 21, Kristine is 19, and then there is me at 20. One guy counselor for the whole summer... Thomas is 22 an d Kristine's finacee.... so staff training was great getting to know everyone... one of my old counselors Sarah (22) is the programing director so thats pretty much amazing... the assistant cook is anne(21) and so ya i love all of them they kick butt:) Priyanke is here till the 25th going to miss him bunchez when he goes...i have such a bond with these guys... well the girls for the most part are supremely tight, kristine on the weekends is usually with thomas which makes sense so ya here are about the weeks of camp and then some fun adventures...
Week 1 jr week... was really good my girls were pretty much amazing i had 5th graders and i adored them. One of them got saved right as her mom came to pick her up saturday... SWEET NECTARNESS...
week 2 high school week... super hard, some of my girls tried to sneak out.. it was just emotionally draining and a tough but stretching week... but God got me through
week 3 camp promise one... holy cow tough, emotionaly and physically draing but God showed up and helped me out..YA GOD!!!! God is just making me grow into the woman He wants me to be...
so here are some stories lol...
so the whole larva(maggot) infestation in crestion....me,angie and rebecca were sitting in there and rebecca says something is falling on her and we dont believe her, but then angie sees them on her and it was maggots fromt he ceiling..we pretty much ran out screaming and were not happy at all..the building has now been sprayed by a bug guy so we should be good lol... it was quite the adventure so ya...
um last weekend we(rebecca,angie,anne,vanessa,and i) went to missoula and stayed at Sarah's house...it was so much fun...and then this weekend some of us just chilled together.. and us girls (well mostly anne,sarah,and i ) stay up late into the weekend nights talking about pretty much everything.... its go great to have these bonds with people and to feel so connected to them....
so thats the generals of my summer...its been great so far lol...love you guys

coming up....
...in this crazy road...
So sunday begins staff training and i am looking forward to it...its going to be an adventure and new experience for me. I dont have any really good friends who will be counseling for the whole summer. With alot of the "oldies" gone its going to be wierd and different, but on some level i think its going to be so fabulous. I just feel that God is going to do some really amazing stuff. I pray that he uses me in the amazing stuff He has planned. So ya that is what starts on sunday:) i will be posting updates and going ons all summer long so stay tuned:)....
So i know i have put alot on here in the past on how my heart is doing and what i was feeling..so if anyone is reading this and wants an update here you go :) My heart in the matters of love is doing great. I believe on some level i have finally maybe hopefully given God control or at least more than i gave Him before. I guess i still wonder,struggle,and get confused i am not sure that will ever change but i believe i have kinda somewhat learned to be content in where God has put me. I mean i still struggle with stuff. For instance last night at church this lady Sydney was asking me some Bible question and was like but i think its easier single dont you? And she was shocked when i was like um i wouldnt know, I have never been on a date, let alone asked out on a date. That is something i sturggle with. But hey thats life and God has a plan in it all. He has someone out there for me and when its His time He will bring him into my life and make it known to me :). Well there you go luvs... there is my hearts place as of today!

FALLING...
... not written for anyone or about anyone if you are wondering...
Falling
I stand afar and dream
of days gone by with you
when with a glance we'ld talk
not with walls but with the truth
How long ago it seems
but twas only yesterday i fell
fell from the height i stood
fell all the way to you
what a fall it was
the laughter on the way
the fear that wrapped its arms around
oh but in the end the joy of falling for you
the bold part is my favorite section i just really like it.. so ya share what you think be honest

WE WON....
...the bible quiz...
So in case yall didnt know Rachel and i were the JV quiz coaches for bible quiz and they won the quiz(not the travleing trophey) with a score of 1150... we were so proud of them they totally killed it.. they missed 0 in multiple choice and then when it came time for whiteboards they only didnt answer two questions so they didnt get minus points just zero on those two questions but got the rest right sometimes they were the only ones with the correct answer... man they worked so hard and it all paid off:) we almost cried we were so proud...one group of the highschoolers took 2nd they did okay and their banner won:) haha i got called a traitor..i saw Jr Garcia and Micah (from polson) and they totally made fun of me...lol and called me a traitor. It was fabulous to see them...
o ya the weekend before when i went to havre was a total and complete blast, i had so much fun with Justin and Greg they are some great guys..and i feel blessed to know them(most of the time anyway :) ), i enjoy their company and feel so comfortable with them lol.. Justin is like a brother to me, and greg well i just feel comfortable with him :)... I will post pictures soon ;)
so i have been having headaches pretty much every day and have decided i need to go to the eye doctor and get glasses..also i am going to go to a massage therapist and then the chiropractor and see if that helps. Hope fully it will...
So sunday-tuesday we went on a school retreat to the luthern camp on flathead lake in lakeside... it was a time of pure beauty and i so enjoyed myself... i had fun "playing" on the rocks with justin,trav,greg and pri...(travis and pri are so awesome... i love those two) and ha pri stabbed me in the arm with a plastic fork(okay so maybe more like poked me), i thought about doing it to him first but decided it was mean lol, but i did it back to him(real mature i know, but hey it was fun), we learned about the holiness of God and it was so cool to hear about and i guess come to a better understanding about His holiness... God is rockin amazing and He astounds me all the time( He shouldnt i know but He does)
Divine Romance Lyrics
The fullness of Your grace is here with me
The richness of Your beauty's all I see
The brightness of Your glory has arrived
In Your presence God, I'm completely satisfied
For You I sing I dance
Rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love
A deep deep flood, an Ocean flows from You
Of deep deep love, yeah it's filling up the room
Your innocent blood, has washed my guilty life
In Your presence God I'm completely satisfied

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.

Well last night i got to witness this(greg covered his eyes in the inappropriate parts) and that was so cool to see.. he had enough respect for himself,his future wife, and Dawn and I to cover his eyes...from what i have seen this is rare and i wanted to say good job...

Over all the earth You reign on high,
So tonight we sang Lord Reign In me and it totally fits how i am feeling now, so i thought i would share it with yall....
Lord, Reign In Me
Brenton Brown
Brenton Brown
Over all the earth You reign on high,
Ev'ry mountain stream, Ev'ry sunset sky.
But my one request, Lord, My only aim,Is that You'd reign in me again!
Chorus
Lord reign in me,
reign in Your power,Over all my dreams, in my darkest hour.
You are the Lord of all I am,So won't You reign in me again!
Over ev'ry thought, over ev'ry word,
May my life reflect the beauty of my Lord.'
Cause You mean more to me than any earthly thing.
So won't You reign in me again!
I so want this, i want God to truly reign in me, OVER ALL MY DREAMS, OVER EVERY THOUGHT, AND OVER EVERY WORD... so i want to challenge yall to make this your hearts prayer this week, and to truly live this out in our lives...i know i will be trying with Gods help to do this...yall should let me know how it goes...
Verse:
Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour
I know for sure, all of my days are held in your hands,
crafted into your perfect plan
You gently call me into your presence
guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life through Your eyes
I'm captured by Your holy calling
Set me apart, I know you're drawing me to yourself
Lead me Lord I pray
Chorus:
Take me, Mould me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter's hand
Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand
you gentlly call me into your presence
guidin me by your holy spirit
teach me dear lord to live through your eyes
i'm captured by you holy calling
set me apart, I know your drawing me to yourself
lead me lord i pray
oh how we should live this way...well i love you all.... Karda

my work ....
... me trying to write my feelings down...
UNTITLED
As I quietly sit in a sun lit room
I wonder as I ponder what are you thinking?
Do you think of me by day or night?
Is there in your hear room for me?
Do you see who I am?
For I see the real you
The passion you live with
Your heart beating for our Savior
I wish your thoughts of me were as mine of you
but God is writting my love story,the only beautiful way
So may it be His will if He so desires,
To lead us one to another.
(This one was inspired by well... solomon)
LIGHT
Rays of sunshine to a darkend world
Is for what we all should strive
For our dear Savior has called us to be,
Lights to a dark and dying world
A smile to a weary soul,a kind touch
All can be done to shine for Jesus
So in shining let Christ's love glow
Glowing not only to those we love,but all peoples
(this one inspired by my friend Shawn calling me sunlight to a dark world and Romans 13:12)
ROMANS 13:12
The night is nearly over, and daylight is near
so let us discard the deeds of darkness,
and put on the armor of light.

Foam Cakes...
...are funny(at least to Joni and I)...
SO i guys, what is up with yall... i always want to write something profound or just plain good, but i always write it like a letter..(pretty sure no one reads these) *tears* So ya... last night after dinner i was putting the food away and Mrs J says is that bugs on Karlina's back(i am getting the heebeejeebees writting this!) and i look back there and i see a fly and those nasty icky stink bugs.. I HATE THEM and so i jump and brush them off then Priyanke is like there is one in your hair so i am freaking out trying to get it out, while Joni is trying to tell me that there is no bug there...Evil Priyanke(kidding), so i decided i needed to get him back, well Joni last night talked to her husband wayne and he said we should do a foam cake, so we did(it looked pretty) and i asked Pri to cut it for me, he did, Joni and i thought it was really funny. Priyanke was trying to cut it nicely and be nice cuz he thought i had messed up the cake and did something wrong lol..No one else thought it was that funny, except for Joni and I... and then after dinner tonight we played basketball that was fun...
now me venting I hate it when people start talking about candidates and they have no idea what they are talking about. Like someone saying I would vote for Obama before Romney...what the crap Romney holds to our values and beliefs while Obama is the opposite o wait though he is not mormon so i guess that cancels his being for the killing of unborn children and such...grow up and use your brain people, oh ya and then said person being a strict conservative but they would vote for McCain over Romney agian do your homework, dont go around making dumb choices or stuff..RAR.. i guess i am in a crappy mood..sorry guys... MUCHO AMOR...
ps... i am learning singliese(language of Sri Lanka,its cool:))

making a difference??
... sometimes you wonder...
so on wednesday nights, i and rachel have an awana group. There are four girls, all crazy and simply amazing. I am so glad all four of them are there... Well last night it was just me and the four and it went way well, well during handbook time one of the girls was like happy can you pray for my family and i was like sure honey whats wrong and so she proceded to tell me a little and so then we prayed and she had more she wanted to tell me so she stayed after and we talked some more and hopefully i helped some, i didnt say much, i just listened but she is amazing, and i guess that is how you know you are making a difference.... when they trust you enough to come to you and ask for prayer and share troubles.... So i guess that I am hoping that God keeps usuing me and allowing me to make a difference in young lives!! They are a beautiful thing!!!
Again we have more snow and again its a beautiful thing... In Romans yesterday we read the verse about God being obvious in creation and man what a true statement... Gods inumerable attributes ARE clearly seen in our world, just look outside...
K venting time.... In our culture today so many people make sports their god, and its huge in the christian church and i think most people dont even pay attention to it... For instance there is a big football playoff game this weekend and normally we have discipleship at 7pm on sunday nights but this week we are pushing it back to 7:30 so we can watch the game and i know that i am probably sounded dumb, but again make accomidations for football and how often do we rearrange stuff for God?? Rarely, but sports?? Often! and i guess that is one thing that bothers me about our culture...no worries there are many more:)
Ya i am not sure these are even read, but i enjoy writting this blog so ya...
LOVE YOU GUYS
