Day Four: Smile! We want to see your teeth today. Post a self-portrait.

I stink at consistancy... I know. haha.



There are three huge things in my life right now that show me how real and present God is. Footloose is magically going really well, which may seem like a weird thing to see God present in, but I really didn't think it was going to be that great and it really IS. Atleast it seems like it! My financial aid came throug for Judson. Dave went to the dean and FOUGHT for me. & LRAP looks like a huge possibility also! I'm so excited and it is a huge blessing. Praise God for he is GOOD:) Third and most sad/exciting is the passing of Mr. Viegas this past weekend. I never met him, but he fought illness for so long before he finally went home, and he tried to take EVERYONE with him. How incredible is that? Just by itself. I don't understand how people can NOT try to bring others with us. I'm hypocritical in that area of life because I struggle with evangelism... But I believe people should also be able to see Jesus in our very essence. And THAT I'm working on :) haha. In Mr. Viegas' last few seconds his eyes just brightened and Mrs. Bienert asked him if he saw Jesus. He said YES! Then he reached out his hand and died. WHAT THE HECK. How cool is that? It's so incredible to me. And I love how reassuring it is. As if we needed reassurance of God's presence, but he just saw him! I can't even fathom how cool that is.
I'm in a really good place with friends right now. I don't want to jinx it by talking about it, I'm just really content with the friends in my life and what a HUGE blessing they are to me. Seriously. Life is good and blessed. I have no strength without Jesus, and I'm working to be rooted more in him :)

This was so choppy! But I just woke up so... haha. I just had a lot to say and thoughts that werent coherent enough to say them. Enjoy this beautiful remainder of summer!

Day Three: Share your favorite quote/song lyric.

I think this is definitely one of the hardest of the 30 days, mostly because I like so MANY quotes and song lyrics! So... I'm just going to post more than one!

"The only people for me are mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like a fabulous yellow roman candle exploding like spiders across the stars." -Jack Kerouac

"Choose being kind over being right and you'll be right every time." -Richard Carlson

“All humans realize they are loved when witnessing the dawn; early morning is the truimph of good over evil. Absolved by light we decide to go on.” -Rufus Wainwright

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." -Romans 12:1-5

[edit 7/27/10]
"Each day, human beings breath & move, yet have the amazing ability to fail to remember that they are alive." -Edgar Allan Poe

I like this actually. I didn't even get IN to song lyrics. haha. There's just so many! But I think I'll add on to here as I think of and discover other quotes that I like! It might be nice to have one day :)

This week consists of: Bible study, rehearsals, seeing Rob Bell at Willow with small group, finding out about loans for school, constant college and job discussion, seeing Natalie, Seeing Erica, 18th BIRTHDAY!, birthday dinner, staying at Natalie's, SO much friend time, & growing closer with God :)
Thats the synopsis atleast <3
Enjoy this beautiful summer!

Day Two: Make a bulleted list of everything that happened in your day.

Goodnight! Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite, because there are millions of them. And probably a monster in your closet. (DESPICABLE MEEEEE)

1. My fingers are double jointed.
2. I've been vegetarian since I was three.

6. I think languages are beautiful.

11. I'm so afraid of madam mim from sword in the stone.
