Erica is offically STUPID! She just loaded up her stuff and left to move in with her boyfriend. My parents are upset. I've come to the point where I know nothing we say can change her mind and the only thing that will is an outsider or an act of God. So just keep Erica, Grant (her bf), and my parents in your prayers. Thanks. |

So...yeah...
Ifer & I have started talking again. We had a "falling out" the summer I lived in Clarion and didn't talk at all until...last week...two weeks ago...something like that. Yeah. I don't know why or anything but I did it without question. I didn't really even think of anything from the past. I just added her.
I guess God thought we needed some time apart. |

Run your car off the side of the road,
get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere...
Get yourself in a bind, lose your shirt off your back,
need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare...
This is where the rubber meets the road,
this is where the cream is gonna rise...
This is what you really didn’t know,
this is where the truth don’t lie
Chorus:
You find out who your friends are,
somebody’s gonna drop everything,
run out and crank up their car,
hit the gas, get there fast, never stop to think
“What’s in it for me”, or “its way to far”
They just show on up…with their big ‘ol heart...
You find out who your friends are……
Everybody wants to slap your back,
wants to shake your hand when
you’re up on top of that mountain.
Let one of those rocks give way,
then you slide back down,
look up and see who’s around then.
This is ain’t where the road comes to an end,
this ain’t where the bandwagon stops,
This is just one of those times when…a lot of folks jump off
Chorus:
You find out who your friends are,
somebody’s gonna drop everything,
run out and crank up their car,
hit the gas, get there fast, never stop to think
“What’s in it for me”, or “its way to far”...
They just show on up…with their big ‘ol heart.
You find out who your friends are……
When the waters high,
when the weather’s not so bad,
when the well runs dry...
Who’s gonna be there?
You find out who your friends are,
somebody’s gonna drop everything,
run out and crank up their car,
hit the gas, get there fast, never stop to think
“What’s in it for me”, or “its way to far”
They just show on up…with their big ‘ol heart.
You find out who your friends are……yeah yeah
You find out who your friends are…
Run your car off the side of the road,
get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere (man I been there)
Get yourself in a bind, lose your shirt off your back,
need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare
(man I been there…man I been there)
thanks & <3 to those who have stuck by me :-) |

| You Should Be a Film Writer | 
You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen! |
| You Would Be a Pet Cat | 
Independent and aloof, you don't like to be dependent on anyone.
And as for other people, you can take them or leave them. You often don't care.
You live your life by your own rules. And you have deep motivations that no one truly understands.
Why you would make a great pet: You're not needy or greedy... unlike other four legged friends.
Why you would make a bad pet: You're not exactly running down to greet people at the door
What you would love about being a cat: Agility and freedom
What you would hate about being a cat: Being treated like a dog by clueless humans |
(yup yup…)
| Your PMS Disaster Level: High | 
You are definitely a PMS disaster!
At least you're only scary a few days of the month. |
| You Are Cereal | 
Playful and lighthearted, breakfast is likely your favorite meal of the day.
(In fact, you're probably the type who sneaks cereal as a midnight snack.)
Your culinary skills are probably a bit lacking... and you are a sucker for junk food.
Some people accuse you of eating like a kid, but you prefer to think of yourself as low maintenance. |
| You Are A Blue Girl | 
Relationships and feelings are the most important things to you.
You are empathetic and accepting - and good at avoiding conflict.
If someone close to you is in pain, it makes you hurt as well.
You try to heal the ones you love with your kind and open heart. |
| You Are Not Prissy | 
You're the furthest thing from a princess - and you probably stay far away from any princess types you know.
You have an easygoing approach to living. It doesn't take a lot to make you happy.
And when life requires it, you're ready to get your hand a little dirty.
There's no problem you're too prissy to tackle! |
| You Are a Yellow Flower | 
A yellow flower tends to represent joy, friendship, and playfulness.
At times, you are childlike, as a buttercup is.
And at other times, you are fickle, like a dahlia.
And more than you wish, you tend to feel bittersweet, like a marigold. |
| You Are Strawberries with Cream | 
Fresh and uncomplicated, you are always enjoyed but often overlooked.
You're confident in who you are. You don't need a facade to feel better about yourself. |

| You Are a Good Friend Because You're Supportive | 
You are almost like a life coach for your best friends.
You give them help when they need it... but you also know when to give them a push.
People tend to rely on you for moral support and advice.
You've probably always been mature for your age, so this is a role that's you're comfortable with.
A friend like you is one of the rarest kinds.
You are both a good mentor and companion.
Your friends need you most when: They are confused or worried
You really can't be friends with: Someone who only wants to complain
Your friendship quote: "The only way to have a friend is to be one." |
| You Should Spend Your Summer in the Mountains | 
You're quiet, introspective, and a great thinker.
You need a summer vacation that gets you away from the crowds and the heat.
So retreat to the mountains, where you can clear your head. |
| You Are Navy Blue | 
You're a true adventurer. You constantly find yourself drawn to new experiences, people, and places.
Sometimes you feel quite scattered and bored. If something exciting isn't going on, you feel a bit lost. |
| You Are Balanced - Realist - Empowered |
You feel your life is controlled both externally and internally.
You have a good sense of what you can control and what you should let go.
Depending on the situation, you sometimes try to exert more control.
Other times, you accept things for what they are and go with the flow.
You are a realist when it comes to luck.
You don't attribute everything to luck, but you do know some things are random.
You don't beat yourself up when bad things happen to you...
But you do your best to try to make your own luck.
You have a good deal of power, but you also know the pecking order.
You realize that working the system does get you further.
You know who to defer to and who to control.
When it comes to the game of life, you play things flawlessly. |

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."~Timo Cruz (Coach Carter)

i was really bored...
| You Are a Cookie-Browine-Sundae | 
Totally sweet, delicious, and comforting.
You are a total glutton for... everything! |
| You Will Be an Unconventional Bride! | 
You're probably the type of girl who never considered getting married - until you met *him*
You're not a big fan of white dresses, church weddings, or cheesy DJ's
That's okay - you'll do it your way... whether that means a Vegas wedding or guys as bridesmen
While you may not toss the bouquet (or have anyone to toss it to), it will still be the most romantic day of your life! |
| Your Summer Ride is a Jeep | 
For you, summer is all about having no responsibilities.
You prefer to hang with old friends - and make some new ones. |
| You Are Expressionism | 
Moody, emotional, and even a bit angsty... you certainly know how to express your emotions.
At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much.
This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it's even maybe made you cultivate some artistic talents!
You have a true artist's temperament... which is a blessing and a curse. |
| Your Spicy Score: Mild | 
You may not make the hottest first impression..
But you're definitely the type of girl that sticks in a guy's mind.
You prefer to play things cool. You know that good things come to those who wait.
And the amazing thing about you is that you get hotter over time! |
| You Are Chocolate Chip Ice Cream | 
You are kind, popular, and generous.
You tend to be successful at anything you try.
A social butterfly, you are great at entertaining a crowd.
You are most compatible with strawberry ice cream. |
| You are Mahogany | 
Stable and decisive, you lack the hyper energy of most orange colors.
You're still energetic, but you tend to project a peaceful, relaxed vibe.
You love to feel cozy. You often rather wrap up in a blanket than go out for the night. |

So...over the weekend someone mentioned that on average people only tell 3 people when something good happens, but we tell 8 (I think) people when something bad happens. And the point was made that we don't thank God enough for everything He does for us...we don't acknowledge all that He's done for us. So, here we go...I'm telling what God has done for me in the past year (all that I can think of anyway)....I hope you'll do the same.
* (only with His help) I graduated college
~ the dance concert went smoothly
* Ashley is off of her seizure medicine & has been seizure free for (about) 3 years
~ He gave me a job
* " " transportation
~ He's given me great friends
* He keeps giving me days to live
~ He's let me keep in contact with the people I care about most
* gave me the opportunity to see His creation--the Atlantic Ocean
~ re-connected me w/my cousins & aunt
* allowed me to minister with LEV, Koinonia & at camp
~ has kept me safe & healthy
* had provided me with food, shelter & clothes
~ let me feel peace
ok...thats all for now...if i think of more i'll edit this post...
peace! |

Careless, I am reckless
I'm a wrong-way-travelin'-slowly-unraveling shell of a man
Burnt out, I'm so numb now
That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner of my cold, cold heart
Lord, this time I'll make it right, here at the altar I lay my life
Your kingdom come but my will was done, my heart is broken as I...
Cry, like so many times before
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor, oh Lord
I try but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door
Here at the altar, oh my world so black and white
How could I ever falter
What You've shown me to be right
I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
Just let You be who You are
Lord, who You are in me
Jesus, I'm trying so hard to stop trying so hard
Just let You be who You are
Lord, who You are in me
Oh Lord, I

| You Are a Learning Cook |

| You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Shy | 
When a guy gets to know you, he finds a great catch
Problem is... you're too shy for most guys to get to know.
From meeting someone to dating, you usually have your guard up.
And while you're just holding back, it makes you seem like you've got something to hide. |
Ok…
| You Are a Carousel | 
You are young at heart and a truly playful person. No one would ever accuse you of taking life too seriously.
You are definitely in things for the fun. You find joy easily, and you are often building up anticipation for your next adventure.
In relationships, you tend to want to be babied and taken care of.
And while you may be a bit high maintenance, you are incredibly loyal.
Your life is simple and satisfying. Each day you treat yourself to something you enjoy.
You have a lot of emotional attachments, and experiences are extra vivid to you.
You tend to be nostalgic and sentimental. The past is important to you.
Comfortable around all living things, you have a special connection to animals and children.
At your best, you are whimsical, free spirited, and creative.
Even if your schemes seem a bit strange, they usually work out wonderfully.
At your worst, you are spoiled, demanding, and impossible to satisfy.
You've been known to act like a brat if you aren't getting your way! |
