Happy Thanksgiving! I'm at my Grandparents now and got to see all of that family with the exception of one cousin who shall remain nameless...since we've disowned him now. It was nice to hang out with some younger people and watch "Changing Rooms" the Brit version of "Trading Spaces"....good bonding time. I also made a really cool power point presentation for my School Violence project. Things I am thankful for:
* God's unchanging goodness, despite my feeling of chemical imbalance (a.k.a. I feel out of it)
* good food
* My family all getting along and no fights
* I am not sick, unlike my cousin Shannon...pray for the poor girl
* I don't have to work or go shopping tomorrow---that alone is a relief!
Yeah....well if anyone reads this--Drop me a line! Just a small one!
Hello all of you wonderful people who are reading this!
Christmas is in exactly one month...but even better Thanksgiving is in 2 days! Things I am thankful for:
* Enjoying a situation I do not normally enjoy--getting my teeth cleaned (it wasn't fun, but I had a good attitude which made it worth while)
* Listening to a good song by a band that I thought was just kind of obnoxious--take time to listen to "Silence" by Blindside--I'm hooked
* Having the internet and phone to stay in contact with my friends from everywhere--where would I be without e-mail?
* Vegging
* Knowing God is in control and will help me with all my homework this week!
* Google! For real this world wide web is a big place without a lil help
* Silence........
They won't see
The fire you have lit inside of me
They look up to the stars
And wonder where you might be
They look up without realizing
That they're standing right there in the palm of your hand
I can't explain or understand
I just love You
It's common knowledge
That you've been dead for a while
It's well known that the cross is only a burden
With pains and trials
But then again how come my shoes are so light
How come I can walk for miles
And still just love You
So I think I'll stay
Caught up in a silent prayer
I believe in silence
Our hearts speak the same word
So why don't we just walk along
The shoreline with a silent song
Cause I believe in Silence
Our hearts speak the same word
We have to prove
That our love is real over and over again
But let them think what they want
I know it will never end
Because I know where it began
And my heart still heart still pounds twice as fast
Whenever you walk by
Cause I still love you
So I think I'll stay...
Well if anyone reads this, can you please leave a message on how I can make this more interesting and add some fun things like pix, and links...that would be beautiful of you!
ok...home....made it the first day....just chilling...this is boring, but here is a song that i was thinking about last night, it's by one of my favorite bands Switchfoot
There's always something in the way
There's always something getting through
But it's not me
It's You
Sometimes ignorance rings true
But hope is not in what I know
Not in me
It's in You
It's all I know
I find peace when I'm confused
I find hope when I'm let down
Not in me
But in You
I hope to lose myself for good
I hope to find it in the end
Not in me
It's You
It's all I know
Ok well maybe I'll explain that later. Ponder these things
hi people! welcome to "the escape to reality". It's more of an escape for me then anyone else. Although i am in college and what people consider the "real world" it's not all so real, especially since it's a small lil Christian school. I love my school, but at times it's very easy to lose sight of what i'm there for. I don't feel like going into all of it now, but as I continue journaling in here, it'll make sense. I'm home now and very excited to veg and hang out with family. Also I'm planning to take a day to fast and pray and seek God about stuff. If anyone has any good passages for me to read that you think would help, please post them. Hopefully this will get more exciting as time goes on.
