Be STILL and HEAR God, KNOW that he is with you.

last night at the beach with Pear and Square we got a chance to do something we hadn't done with each other in a really long time, pray. we talked with God about what we were thinking and what we needed and wanted out of our england trip.
we are leaveing all our comforts behind in order to pursue God. he will be sustainging us in this strange and excitingly new world. God will provide and He will keep us safe.

in response to Pears post

the world needs more love.


not the mushy kind though it's nice (like the movie last night) i mean real love like Jesus loves people, full of forgivness, mercy, gentalness, warmth, surprisingly faithful.

not always a huge loud love that professes it's self from the top of a mountain with a massive gong, but the kind that is quite and anonymous.
sweet pure love in many forms: giving, selfless acts, kind correction, providing for...


how this plays in to what my gift is i'm not sure
hang around till i find out find out

the momma bear knows

i came home from work last night dead. after getting my call from Carla @ 5:18 am and working project safe from 8am-4pm then going back to work for CMM from 5:30-10pm i was done for the night. i came home and sat on the couch with momma and we talked abot stuff from the day. she made me a hammy sammy (a ham sandwich for thoes of you that don't live in my home or know my mommas slang) just the way i like it, and pulled the braids out of my hair and smoothed it over like she would when i was younger. it was perfect i was in heaven. she asked me if when i was a momma and she a G-ma if i would still put my head in her lap and let her smooth my hair and i told her it is my most favorite thing in the world. i'm gonna miss my momma when i'm in england

quite possibly the worlds best color me mine empolyee

and humble did i mention how humbe i am? i am the employee of the month pretty neat huh? i even recived a certificate which is sitting on the fridge but enough about that.




i want to tell you about my day at la playa with JoBee. we had lots of fun even though i had my doubts about getting there and it took me a while to get in to the water( there could have been fish and little sand creatures, or worst of all SEAWEED!!) but we went body surfing and laughed and ate mcdonalds it was a good time there are pretty cool pictures we took when we were there on myspace :)

245 countries that will now accept me with open arms...

so to speak that is, i mean not everyone is as in love with america as i am. but i'm ok with that.
so my passport arrived and i am relived; i was tired of waiting around for the mail man for 2 weeks straight. i kid you not i got the mail every time and i was let down every time, except for the day it arrived of course. i even took it to work to show people, then again to heathers house.
every day that passes i get a little bit more excited about england, i'm not sure when the bursting point of excitment is, but i'm nearly there. the only thing keeping me from flying off this planet in an explosion of giddiness is heather's back. but even there i am fully confident in God and i know he has got it covered.
i reorganized my room and i found a calander that i had bought a while ago with the intention of filling it out with important dates and what nots, only to leave it on my floor which quickly became burried with in a week. well i filled out dates, and look at in every time i sit at my computer this month is little hippos made of tomatoes and nearly every day has some sort of mark on it.
my brain has gottne really scattered lately which i'm sure is rather apparent to thoes of you reading this cause i'm all over the place.

any who i guess i'm done for now more random rambleings later

Wiped It All Away With A Sponge

Today was my last final so i'm now done with this semester. good but sad at the same time.
i cleaned out my locker and cleared my shelf. i even finished my task of cleaning the slab roller.

i'm really gonna miss ceramics.... a whole year (practically forever) that i won't be making art outta dirt





:D (

a place to dump my body

so we have booked the hostels finally and now we will have some where to drop dead after traveling around England each night. I'm glad we got this done, and I'm sure Heather is glad we aren't staying in the place where the lady died... although it would have made for a good story :D
