About this house…

Posted in Uncategorized on December 29, 2007 by razzledazzle

I am just dumbfounded at how blessed we are to have this opportunity.

Its a 3 bedroom house in haverton… and all we have to pay is utilities and $100 for rent. Split three ways…. this should run each of us about 200 dollars a month at the most.

Amazing. :) Im really excited about finding a church in the area and stuff. I would really like to be a part of a smallgroup or a womens ministry with people a little older than I am… whove been in this weird stage in my life… so i dont feel crazy anymore.  well i dont really feel crazy.

 anyways, stay tuned for a lovely installment of .LESSONS IVE LEARNED IN 2007.  Its been a challenging year for me, but necessary in order to become the woman God wants me to be. Ive got a long way to go.

I am always amazed at how her words always always match whats in my heart.

“Started rubbing sticks together
I thought a spark would take forever
I never dreamt this fire would appear

When Moses saw the Bush in flames
And heard the branches speak his name
I wonder if he felt this kind of fear 

‘Cause I’m burnin’
Yeah, I’m burnin’
And I know I’m gonna blister in these flames
So I’ll stay here
‘Till this smoke clears
And I’ll find You in the ashes that remain

Used to be that I could say
My faith was one arm’s length away
From any flame that ever felt too warm

Asked for matches, but I recieved
A gallon full of gasoline
Now my cozy campfire days are gone

‘Knock with caution at the door’
They said, ‘Beware of what you’re praying for’

So I’ll stand here with my whole desire
In the middle of this forest fire
‘Till I’ve nothing left to show
And new life begins to grow”

Merry Christmas everyone!! :)

God is good

without a break that really start to wear me out.

work from 9-2 rehearsal from 2-3 and work again from 3-6. im tired. and i need to eat. next meal for me will be around 9pm and im quite excited about it. i dont really know why. probably because a friendship that i was so certain i had screwed up, is being rebuilt…

i really am fighting this urge to move away. strangley enough, the thing thats keeping me here is my family. i wanna hang out with my mom every monday night, ya know? and i dont want to move away from christine . and lima. and of course ian. and … goodness gracious…. but there is such an instinct for me to just… go.

go.

itd be cool to like… go with one person to a new city…. and live there.  like… if D wanted to move somewhere and needed a roommate… id really be tempted to go. or if lima did. or christine. or i dunno… i wanna go by myself too.

its just that i see all these people i went to school with and grew up with, get married and im just saying to  myself. . . yeah i wanna get married. but do i know if thats even going to happen?? no. so i need to be treasuring the time i have now and take advantage of it! i need to be spur of the moment, and take day trips with girlfriends and do everything that a girl who doesnt have to worry about cooking or looking after a family can do! even if that means something as little as being able to plan a day trip to NYC.

i just look at it like this.

yes, i want to get married. yes i want to have kids. yes. im a girl in my twenties and thats what we think about. but theres going to be a time where i am going to have that life, and im going to look back at the time that i have right now and wish that i would have thought about something else. wish i would have taken advantage of the time God has given me now. the freedom i have, and the fun that it is to kind of be unsure about someone. the mystery is fun!! its not to be rushed out of… ok im just babbling nowwww. 

holly told me that they fixed the fan in our bathroom today!! HOORAY!!!!!!!! you have no idea how stinking happy that makes me! everytime i would go in to the bathroom … id turn on the light and the fan would come on and make the most obnoxious sound in the UNIVERSE. and i would get annoyed and beat the crap out of it. and then dust would fall in to my hair and eyes and i would curse in my mind (and sometimes out loud) at the stupid fan. but now its fixed. and now i am happy.

self reflection

Posted in Uncategorized on December 6, 2007 by razzledazzle

so yeah…im trying to spend more time getting to know myself. or like… writing down my “realizations” of what makes me, me.

i dont know. im going through a phase.

anyways, my reflections for today is that i am a very deliberate person.  when i put a song in my myspace profile, or AIM profile you can look up the lyrics and see exactly what im feeling.  i like making people dig a little bit in order to understand me. and i enjoy digging to understand other people… but ive only met a few that really match my …. desire to be completely open, but only to those willing to do the work to figure them out.  & Im having dinner with one of them, tonight. :P

its been forever since weve done 1/2 priced appetizers @ applebees!

ooooh memories of B114. aaah i really do miss it.

sometimes

the last thing you would expect to make you feel better… does.

im fighting and fighting against this thing that just seems too big for me to win. i dont know what to do anymore, so i just gotta take it one day at a time. one step at a time.

i have to stand up and fight this.

today

kate and i talked for a good… 2 hours or so. it was good.

i have a lot to think about and pray about and … be objective about.

my heart is there, but i cant physically be there.
