levelness

Easter

Amen amen amen AMEN for the RESURRECTION!! I praise You, Lord Jesus, for the salvation You've granted, for the power You have! Thank You for being so mighty and so kind and loving and for dying for sinners such as us. You are King; be enthroned in my life always.

Thank You for the hope Christians have because of Your redemptive work that we celebrate on this day. Make us remember what Easter is all about and WORSHIP.

Love You, dear Jesus, perfect Son of God.

RAGING HEADACHE

aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

but i got to talk to three (yes, count 'em, THREE) wonderful boys tonight ... dj, brother, and wesley jack. how i love them all!

i miss you, friends. can't wait til teen convention. if someone could tell kellie hemmer that i love her, that would be great.

Jesus: He is good. Wow, is He lovely. Tonight Wes told me something really interesting and GOOD, but I'm not sure how to re-phrase it right. I'll just put it simply: GOD CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO THOSE WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. Amen and amen!! How exciting! Even in present heartache or confusion or sadness, He is sovereign and He works things for the good of His children.

Thank You, Lord. I love You.

Holy Father God, You are King of all; thank You for this life and for the exciting things You put in our lives. fix me, Father! fix me! i'm so confused, but You are my ROCK.

i love Thee. submit my life to Your ways.
amen, hallelujah.

March Madness

I wish that someone were here to watch the games with me!

This weekend was SO BUSY but pretty awesome ... got to hang out with Trace and Bry (and Jamie and Ang and Hope!) AND Whit and Eir, my Chicago lamb. Friends are lovely. Thank You, Lord, for the amazing ones you've blessed me with.

Talked to my sister Kristin today, and she told me a terrific story about how she shared that she was a Christian with one of her co-workers. Love to hear it! Jesus, bless her and keep her and make her grow even more in You.

Dro, how you doin', girl? Miss you!

Yeah, I'm Still Alive

Here's a new post. But what to say, what to say?

I've got a lot of thoughts right now that I'd prefer not to process alone, but I don't want to bug people either.

Love.

is this just TOO adorable? tasha thinks so. (um, folks, that's pronounced "taaa-sha" with the first "a" like the one in "jackie")

jls

I love You. Thank You for the cross! Thank You for embracing us!

"Someone You Know" by Further Seems Forever

Want to hear an awesome story from my night which I attribute to my God?!

I was trying to think of a song tonight -- I said to Bec, "I used to just BURST OUT singing the chorus -- I think it repeats one phrase three times ... I can't think of it! Do you know what it was?" She didn't.

I got on the Internet, tried to figure it out that way. But didn't.

Said to my Lord, "God, could you please just put it in my head?"

Probably within three seconds, in my head were the lyrics, "Ready, ready, ready when You are"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dropped to the floor -- I almost started crying! How overwhelming to be answered SO QUICKLY! I think it was God who zapped those into my mind -- what a fun blessing!

He is so awesome!! SO AWESOME. SO. AWESOME.

For your further enjoyment, you may listen to the song here. Blessings!!!

PRAY

... for Acquire the Fire and for softened hearts.
... that the Lord would reveal Himself even more to His children through ATF and the activities.
... that He would be preparing the hearts of those who will be attending.
... that people who hear the Gospel for the first time this weekend would be responsive.
... that the prayers new followers pray would be real and take root in CHRIST and not emotions.
... for Meadow Park's youth group, that they can love each other noticeably and be good examples to other youth groups of the way the Body of Christ should function.
... that Whit, Ash, Pete, I, and the other leaders will be good leaders, fun, and pointing the teens to Christ Jesus continually, and that we will love as Jesus loves.

Lord God, let this weekend be about You and let us get wrapped up in You and not emotions. Thank You for giving us emotions and thank You that You can work through them. Thank You for being our Solid Rock, our unchanging God. How we love You! More of You; less of us.

Just Past Midnight

Um, did I mention that I slept about 14 hours already?

Yeah, so here I am ... I've been lying awake in bed for about a half an hour or so. I'm wide awake. Hey -- raunch-nasty: I just grabbed a cup from my desk and put water in it. Apparently, there was MILK in it before, so I just drank about half a glass of very cloudy water. Yummy.

OCD
Trichotillomania

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name.

Father God, rescue Your daughter again.

Friday on My Mind

It's me. Again. Of course.

I am soooooo glad this work week is over. Oh my goodness, can I do more things wrong in one week?

Tonight we got Pizza Hut and watched a movie where Keanu Reeves does bad acting (um, every movie of his?). Anyway, I am exhausted. So exhausted. It's not even 10pm, and I'm thinkin' of bed.

Whitty and Heebs visited me this morning; that was good. I'm so glad God had Whit and Hannah put together in the same room. Thank You, Lord! Talked to eir on my lunch break, and Mel came by in the afternoon.

I sure hope that Founders' Week is over. I am jealous. Hahaha.

I can't wait to see the Rochester children of the corn next weekend! Yeah, ATF. I don't feel ready for Acquire the Fire. I feel I need to sleep and pray for a week first. God, bless next weekend. This one too!

Goodnight, loves. I think I might read or write.

T to the H to the URS to the DAY

so here i am, thursday evening, and i slept TWO HOURS tonight already ... for i am a sicko (THROAT ... blah).

PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!! i am a cranky child of the corn. i don't like it.
