"All the people on the street know."

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

Life is interesting lately.

Phantom of the Opera was wonderful. At least that's what mom says, and I'm glad she thinks so, because it was for her. The beginning was the best part, with the raising of the chandelier and the music starting.....and I would so go again. :)

Persuasive essay doesn't sound very persuading. I have another week before I turn it in, but I confess, this is a challenging piece for me. Wasn't sure if I'd ever say this...but Lord knows I'll be glad when English 101 is over.

I cannot deny that I am blessed all the time, because God is good all the time. However, I do feel blessed lately. I'm enjoying fellowship, prayer, cold weather, and Starbucks. God, may I not take these things for granted.

Even after these long silences....I still want to write that best seller.

Just thought it should be said.

"It's that time of year, leave all our hopelessness's aside"

Psalm 17: 6-8

I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; inclinde your ear to me; hear my words.

Wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge from their adversaries at your right hand.

Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings,

Psalm 19:14

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer."

My college class has us doing observation essays. Supposedly, the observation essay is one of the hardest essays to write. It's been my favorite one so far though :) I'm really hoping to get a hundred percent on this one, but we'll see, right?

Next up we have to do persuasive essays. At first I was going to use abortion as my topic, then I decided on recycling instead. Now I just don't know, and I am nervous about this essay. Why? It's not that I don't have strong beliefs, because I do. I just don't think any of my beliefs are five pages long.

Work is anything but fun lately. Not just for me, but for my mom and dad too. I know work isn't supposed to be "fun" but does it have to be so lame? I sort of had a mini-breakdown over the weekend and I'm not sure how I'm going to get through the holiday season at Wild Flower. It's busy and work is not equally given. God, I know it is in your hands.

I just hate feeling like I don't glorify my savior at my job anymore. Or did I ever?

My writing has come to a stand still (yes, again) and I think I may have to force the issue. Regardless of whether or not it turns out silly, I have to make the time to do it.

You always have to make the time.

Here is another tattoo possibility:

Personally, I like this tattoo better on the back than the previous one I showed. I think the bassclef/treble clef heart in my last post would look better on the side of the body.

Financial aid for next semester does not look promising as I'd hoped. So, praying that this is what God wants me to do, I've begun saving for classes I'd like to take in the Spring. I want to start Math (because I have three semesters of it to complete); English 102 (because first, I'm good at English, and second, this will be the last of the English classes I need to take); and Aural Perception--one of a few classes I need to take to meet my Music Major requirements.

I'm kind of excited...:)

Also, here's a special shout out to mi madre, because her birthday is tomorrow.

Happy birthday mom!!!!!!!

She's turning eighteen. Yep, it's true. I know that's kind of weird, since she's with my dad. But hey, love is love. :P (haha)

So the time I spent blogging I could have been working on an essay that's due oh, tomorrow.

"This is the way I would have done this, up against the wall"

Hehe :)

Two things I fear;

Firstly, am I spending too much time daydreaming these days? I worry that I spend too much time in my world than in this one.

Secondly, I don't write much any more. I'm not creative any more. Is that because of my daydreaming? Do I spend too much time pining, not enough time writing?

In other news, I have been pondering a possible tattoo. This is what it looks like:

(:

And in other other news, been worried about my dad lately. He just acts so much differently than mom. I can't explain it. Or, I could, but don't really want to.

End (for now).
