Fun House Photo Shoot

I think every girl should have a best friend...or two.....or three!!
I laughed harder today then I have in a long time.
three brilliantly-witted girls together in the same room. AHH so good.
We finished the photo shoot with Jessica's help. Only stopping to take one Ho-HO break. Then Ania and I gave Jessica a performance of our best Bohemian Rhapsody. I think we will perfect it and give some sort of rock opera in our "Fun house".

Enjoy some rough pics from the last few days: These were taken with my silly little camera and do not come close to reflecting the ones Ania took.

[In no particular order]



HoHo break. :P
Colonel Mustard in the attic with the candle stick!
Stay away from me Booty!!




Everyday in the life o the circus
:D


Bahahaha!! This one is my fav! I was laughing so hard I was doing a little happy dance.

Day one of the photo shoot is complete. Ania and I set up the set yesterday and took she took some shots.
It looks really great.
Today we are finishing taking the rest of the photos. I would go into detail but my brain seems way to scattered. I leave in less than two days, and I feel like there is something really important I should be doing but I can't think of it. Oh man.I think I will make some tea, snuggle my bulldog and maybe do some sketching. AHH! Yes I need to remember to pack a sketch book.
Well I'm going to do stuff now. If you think about me over the next week , prayer would be nice.
We are going to be on prophetic teams at some conferences there in P.R. so prayer deinitely would not hurt. :]

He holds us, even when we deny His very existence

Photo was staged and taken for art purposes.
"Here I stand
Empty hands
Wishing my wrists were bleeding
To stop the pain from the beatings

There you stood
Holding me
Waiting for me to notice you

But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life

The warmth of your embrace
Melts my frostbitten spirit
You speak the truth and I hear it
The words are I love you
And I have to believe in you

But who are you
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life

My hands are open
And you are filling them
Hands in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air

And I worship
And I worship
And I worship

You!

You are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
You are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life"

3 More days!!!!
These days should go by so fast. Ania is using my house for a photo shoot this weekend, this should be the best one yet! I can't wait. I love that she asks me to help her with these things, we work so well together when we are allowed to be super creative. I am so excited. Ania has so much vision for this shoot. I can't wait to see what she comes up with! That will take up alot of the weekend. Then I have to pack and be ready to leave bright and early on tues morning. :]

First Bio exam today. Wish me luck!
I think I should do well but who really knows.

:]

God blows my mind. Even when I am not feeling well, or I'm having a crazy day He finds some brilliant way to remind me about how much He loves me. :]
I just want to cry in the presence of all His love.
I only wish the rest of the world could feel this all the time too.
:]

Happy Valentines Day!
I'm sorry I don't care more about it.
8 Days until Puerto Rico.
Prayer would be great!
<3 <3 <3

David - Spoken


Oh God let your spirit fall on me
Oh God let your spirit fall on me
Oh God let your spirit fall on me
Oh God let your spirit fall on me
Oh God let your spirit fall on me

Your perfect peace comes down and amazes me
It's like a dream or a vision inside of me
Oh God let your spirit fall on me
Your perfect peace comes down and amazes me
It's like a dream or a vision inside of me
Your perfect peace comes down and amazes me

Move swiftly now
Don't fall behind
Move swiftly now
Get up on the front line

Oh God I want to dance like David
Oh God I want to dance like David
Oh God I want to dance like David
Oh God I want to dance like David

Every time I fall on my face
I dream of a place so far away
Don't want to hide my face for another day

Everything I do
I want to do it for you
Unlike the others who have fallen and slipped away
Everything I do
I want to do it for you
Unlike the others who have fallen and slipped away
They've slipped away

Move swiftly now
Don't fall behind
Move swiftly now
Get up on the front line

Oh God I want to dance like David
Oh God I want to dance like David
Oh God I want to dance like David
Oh God I want to dance like David...

Move swiftly now
Don't fall behind
Move swiftly now
Get up on the front line

Do you ever wonder why some people are your friends?
I have these friends who are awesome, and I can't figure out why they are my friends. Why they put up with me.
I guess most people think well enough of themselves to not feel this way but I feel this way all the time. I often wonder why people spend time with me.
Just thinking about this.

Something about being home.

Listening to Leeland. :]

I'm not feeling well today. The last week has been a frustrating week. Alot of little things frustrated me, nothing really to the point of making me break down, but alot of little things that irritate me. And now I'm really not feeling well. I stay at Ania's house on Thur. nights and as soon as she leaves for work on fri mornings I can't sleep anymore. It ends up being a crazy early morning for me. Just not feeling well. Back to be home with my bulldog nearby. As well as all the familiar smells, like the smell of my sleep on my pillow, and the smell of my house in general.
I'm now trying to organize and clean up my room alittle. I realized that I don't like being in here much anymore, and that needs to change. So im de-cluttering.

My day in photos

February 10th





Waking up late


















Driving in snow


























Math Class and Quiz ...................




























Followed by some crying....















Then Some tea....... (tea has brilliant effects on someones mood)...

















Violin time............
































Still to come today....


































Work..... Spotting a billion hip-pullovers......



































Followed by a good workout with my wed night work-out buddy Aubrey...........






















Then I come home and study..............







Best friend/ Savior time...........................
















Then I sleep like a log.....

oh man. Im so tired. What a day. Aside from my bio lab and a quick cardio work out my day was not fun in the least. I feel like no matter what I do I can not get ahead of my homework and I dont even have that much. It's just homework and school plus work that is too much. I can't even get excited about te missions trip because I am so worried about missing class.

SO tired!!!
I really dont feel good and dont want to go to work. I worry I may be coming down with something. Not to mention it is monday and I am already behind on homework. But good news is that i have an A in math so far still.

Slightly heart broken

I'm really heart broken right now.
I am just so sad to see how bitter people are toward Christianity and God in general. Christianity maybe deserves hostility but not God. I'm sad to see what people have done in the name of Jesus. They go against everything He ever taught in an attempt to feel like they were doing something for Him. Rather than going out and hating on everyone who doesn't believe in God or in His word, we need to be reaching out in love and showing them His power in a tangible way. I know so many people that are against Christianity but they only know about it as the title. So many people claim it as a title when really that is all it is to them. Like a skater or punk rocker, or Indie, or prep, or jock title. Most of these people are "Posers" though.
Christianity at it's core is truely a life lived for Christ. It is realizing that life sucks and Jesus is the only thing that brings meaning, purpose, hope and peace to life. It is a life sold out to him. It is knowing that He truly does love us more than we can imagine. It is so hard to explain to somebody. It is something that you have to experience, you can't always logic it, but it is SOOOOOOOO real.
I don't believe it because my parents make me, or because I feel pressured to. I believe it and know it because it is so real. I have felt God's power. I have seen Him do miracles. I have felt Him with me when I went through the darkest days in my life, and I now have joy that only He gives. I know it is real, and I know it is so real that I am willing to die for Christ.


I only wish that Christians would stop holding non-believers to a christian standard. You can't do that. That is taking away somebody's free will, and Christianity gets a great part of its validity from the truth that we have a free will to except Jesus.


To all those who don't believe in Christ and think all Christians are idiots, well you need to stop believing the lies you hear about Christianity. You need to realize that alot of people claim Christianity falsely. Please do some digging for yourself. Try praying to God and ask Him to reveal Himself to you in a big way. If you really mean it, He will, and it will be huge.

oh man

I am stalling. I should be working on my Psych homework, but (and its a BIG BUT) I really can't seem to make myself.
At with Ania at some random family's house that she is house sitting for. I really don't want to study at all.
(Ania is in the kitchen singing Danny Boy and snuggling with one of the dogs.)
I am not looking forward to this quiz tonight. Im pretty sure I will do ok, but this morning in Bio class I got back a quiz from tuesday and I didn't get an A so my confidence is kinda shot. Lame I know. I am just trying so hard to get A's that I am not hppy about this quiz.
ehhhhh....................................

I have too much serotonin in my system to sleep

I really should go to bed, but I am basking in the stress free feeling of having all my psych reading done. That leaves me with only the task of studying for my quiz tomorrow night. Easy Peasy stuff.
I really have nothing important to say.
Great News of the day:
It looks like I will be able to advance a bunch (In fact most) of my wednesday night gymnasts. YAY!!
A special shout out to Aubrey who finally got her pull-over today. All that working out with me. I had her do so much arm conditioning, finally paid off. I am so proud!!!

That is all. Good night

I can't wait to spend saturday in my favorite little town with one of my all time favorite girls!
:]

19 days

Listening to :Fiddler on the roof - If I were a rich man. (hehe)




We leave in 19 days for Puerto Rico. Woo! It doesn't really seem real. I am so excited. I can't wait to see what God is going to do there. :]
When I think about it I feel almost like it is more God blessing me rather than Him using me to bless people.
I love to love people so I can't wait to go do that for a week. :]







^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


You want me to go where, Lord?
Puerto Rico?
You mean leave here in the winter and go there were it is hot?
Are you sure?


This doesn't quite seem fair. I suppose I will go there and suffer for you.

Happy February 1st!

My month is starting great.
Spent last night with a beautiful friend.
Billy got here (in the area) to stay last night !
:]
Got my math quiz from last friday back. Yeah, I aced it!
I'm just so excited!
I don't really want to go to work tonight though.
