going home for spring break! how exciting lol!

in the lull of absolutely NOTHING happening there (at home) here are some things to keep you occupied

you should go here and see the AMAZING story of this little boy and his family, its amazing how prayer works!

this place has some GREAT games.......my roommate and i tend to play them for long periods of time........

you can go here to watch some of your favorite television shows

ill be spending a lot of time (but not money...cos i have none) here and here...tho i still have a gift card to the second place!

pray for the roommate....shes going to haiti this week!

this is the new Bible i got for HUE....my "normal" Bible is HUGE i think it wieghs about 4-5 pounds.....which im NOT carrying around on free travel!

i think thisll keep you entertained for HOURS....if not.....go here.....great comic.....i like vendetta...is that awful?


"Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them."
Psalm 111: 2

a kiss to build a dream on

i dont like not feeling 100%. when my acting teacher notices (which means i cant hide it anymore) thats BAD!

spring break is next week and i have a large amount of lines to memorize but for the most part, no homework....just "rest" and tv-watchin.....or maybe DVD's.....tv aint so great these days

i had another HUE meeting ( HUE stands for Harding University in England). After the meeting, the Tullos family (our main chaperones/teacher/small child to keep us entertained) and a couple of the people went to Dairy Queen (classy) and discussed trip stuff. Im really happy to have such easy-going people that i get along with really well going on this trip. we have several "free" days where classes arent being held. on those days, we can go...ANYWHERE within a days distance! so....england, france......thats soo cool. we also have two times during the semester that we can go to places like Barcelona or Amsterdam (where my current roomate will hopefully be working next year...) or Munich. I think we also have the LONGEST free travel at the end of our semester. 18 possible days! we wont travel that long of course....i think wed kill someone by the end of that but.....11 sounds reasonable! i just cant wait for HUE!

last weekend we had a Zeta Rho retreat. it was FANTANSTIC! called "women on fire" and we had a great time of sharing and laughing and things. it was great because i rarely get to spend alot of time with my ZP girls and this was nearly 24 hours of bonding! we played really silly games like "never ever have i ever" and "who should _____ date?" it was a nice weekend to just let go and let God

1Kings 19 11-12

The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountain apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was no in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

i hope you find God in todays gentle whisper

replace apple pie with king cake and im right there

The Thankfulness Song-Veggie Tales

I thank God for this day,

For the sun in the sky,

For my mom and my dad,

For my piece of apple pie!

For our home on the ground,

For His love that's all around,

That's why I say thanks every day!

Because a thankful heart is a happy heart!

I'm glad for what I have, Thats an easy way to start!

For the love that He shares,

'Cause He listens to my prayers,

That's why I say thanks every day!

Thank you Lord, also for my friends, who put up with me and encourage me. Who are willing to be silly with me and listen when I have problems. Thank you that I am never truly alone but can always find a smiling face. Thank you, Lord for compliments, teach me one day how to take them, to be thankful and not try to blow them off. Thank you for Sweet Tea and Sonic and fun songs in the car. And thank you Lord for Jesus. Thank you for the sacrifice you made through him.

I love you

In Jesus' name

Amen

the oscars and gossip...trust me it makes sense

tonight my roommates and i basked in the glow of other peoples fame. thats right, we sat through the entire oscar awards show tonight (while clicking in and out of Youre the One that I want....vote Laura and Chad!) We laughed and generally had a good time. but we accoplished nothing but giving in to Hollywood. we do that often. I buy a copy of People Magazine as often as i can. i claim that its for the crosswords but really, im curious about whats going on. always. especially here on campus. our suite is pretty much known for the gossip that goes on in it and i can say that im a HUMONGUS contributer in that. i can keep a "secret" if need be, but id rather not. i like to hash things out, get others opinions and the like.

frankly i think its because i feel like i have no life. but thats just an excuse.

gossip is one of the things that is keeping me from a closer relationship. its so easy to slip into it when an innocent conversation begins. i wonder sometimes why i can say "its non of my buisness" sometimes i say "have you heard about...."

anyway, all this to ask for prayers. for strength to remove this sin from my life
thanks

since today was such a beautiful day, my friends and i decided to play. well really, bask in the beauty of the warmth God provided! it was marvelous. after, we decided to trek over to Camp Wyldewood to check out the cliffs. This is what we found. We had so much fun just enjoying everything. It was truly a gift that i hope i no longer take for granted!
