FYI -- it is so much easier for me to write my thoughts down.
In typical fashion, a lot has been happening with me lately. I told someone on the phone recently that my life is pretty boring, but it really is not. My life is busy. I could be busier, I do have that kind of time, but it’s still pretty busy regardless.
1. My cousin (18, unmarried) is pregnant.
2. I have not talked to my brother in … days.
3. I’m a little under the weather.
The worst part about this blog is that I can’t really share everything that’s going on, you know? Some things… are just better left without telling everybody.
I am getting excited about going to NYC to see my brother and my friend Jenn. She is such a blessing, and doesn’t even know it. I have been encouraged more times than I can count by reading her blogs. Maybe reading this she will know how much I secretly appreciate her. I hope so.
I do need to catch up with the Holly’s (Here's one of the Holly's). I hope you two are reading this. Maybe some Saturday Christmas shopping? I’ll have to post myspace comments about it. Oh,… and I have no idea what to do about Christmas presents this year. I don’t know what to get anybody really. I think I want a new digital camera for Christmas, but I may be bad and buy it for myself for my 28th birthday. I like feeling my age by the way. Strange, but good.
Goals by Christmas
1. Make out an official list for Christmas Cards
2. Get ALL of my Christmas cards out
3. Lose 10 pounds. (I figure that is realistic considering my 30 pounds already. Yay!)
4. Pay off one bill.
5. Consider Photostamps.
6. Give to the poor. (This may sound weird, but God is seriously dealing with me about this.)
7. Read 4 books. And finish them!
8. Blog 25 times.
I did buy my cousin’s kids (Andrew is 8, and Kaylee is 3) a calendar similar to an advent calendar for Christmas. They are both smart and so sweet, and give the entire family something to work together on each day until right before Christmas. Plus, the calendar is the Peanuts gang. Too cute! (I tried to find the link online, but it’s only on ebay and we’re banned from that at work. :( )
For now, that’s all I can think of. Later!

Happy Pre-Halloween.
Random things:
1) I have recently begun to feel my age instead of feeling like a 13-year old girl trapped in a woman's body.
2) I keep buying cards for my sweetheart, although I'm not sure who he is.
3) I have developed a love for snail mail. It's an expensive habit, but I pray that people know that I really do care.
4) I love my family. I got so excited yesterday at the premise that God is going to give me someone to share them with. I just didn't know what to do with myself.
5) I told my grandfather yesterday that I was going to put sunless tanner on his head. My grandmother was not impressed.
6) I am a vibrant mixture of my mom's, aunt's, and grandmother's personalities.
7) I have been a in really good mood this last week.
That's all. Maybe it's weird to share, but... oh well.

I am going to purchase wood for an ark because I don't believe it's ever going to stop raining.
This weather compells me to want to stay in bed.

Praise
I just feel like blogging a lot today. Now assuredly as I type this – I will draw a blank and this will probably wind up short, but I still have a desire.
I am still loving the Beth Moore bible study on Daniel. Each day I am challenged by something, and it just excites me. I am not sharing all this to sound conceited, but I was raised by a father who as early as I can remember, had me sit in his office and listen to sermons. When you are indoctrinated like that at the age of 3 or 4, especially from my father, then there are times when you get things that others don’t get. After having received my fifth email, I believe that I am one of maybe two who got what Beth was trying to speak about last night, but … I so want to explain it to others. Anyway… I have been so hungry to share this bible study with everyone I come in contact with – b/c there’s so much that is relevant to right now, to today. We must not assimilate! This coming from me sounds hypocritical no less, but I believe that God can and will help us de-assimilate, and change the world. I am aware that our ‘Babylon’ isn’t going anywhere, and will in fact get worse, but I still need to live with integrity. God still wants us to live like Daniel, and/or be whatever God wants us to be. Regardless, I love the study, and am proselyting like a wild woman.
“Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is.” John Piper.
See… now I have a blank. Well, I finally figured out how to make my links work properly. Sorry that took so long!
“Urgent prayer requires Urgent Praise!”
I am still learning things. I was reminded powerfully this weekend that, sometimes God calms His child, and not the storm. The storm must rage. But God is still God of the storm. Mostly importantly, He’s still the God of me, and calms me, and He hears me, and knowing that still blows my mind. I’m so imperfect, and messed up at times, and fallible, and thousands of other things… and yet He loves me anyway, and has my life in His control. Wow. Just Wow.
“Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive and your joy will be complete!” John 16:24
JUST PRAISE!!!!!!

I found this in my Bible study homework and thought it was too good not to share:
"If Scripture is brain food, eschatology is an energy bar on steroids." Beth Moore Daniel

Trying to keep this pretty neutral (read last post), so here goes:
Busy week of work. I finally got caught up. And I don't mean, like caught up for the month, I mean, everything that I haven't been able to do in the last year. It's a good feeling.
I spent the weekend in Atlanta with my friend M. We went to Stone Mountain to the Pumpkin Festival and had a blast. We also saw One Night with The King. I have a whole new perspective on talking through a movie. I was enlightened to the fact (last night) that I have the disturbing habit as well. I'm so sorry! :)
God is good. I'm amazed at what all God is doing, but God is moving and I love it!

I think I may take a break from blogging. I am ENTIRELY too emo lately, and it spills over into this.
