Thank You...

...for brightening my day in many ways, but also for the simple beauty of wildflowers! Perfect for my "cozy corner"...

For You

Sittin' in the rain
Water on your brain
Got a hole in your boat
Trying to stay afloat
Has got you down
I've got a wind in my sail
Rubber boots and a pail
I'll throw you a line
Rest assured that I
Won't ever let you drown

Chorus:
'Cause when you're up against the wall
You know I'll be here for you, for you
When you rise and when you fall
I'll always be here for you, for you

When the plans you make
Fall through and take you
For a loop
Or some bird has flown the coop
And left you stranded
Just lean on me
And together you see
We'll carry the load
Even if we don't
Quite understand it


Unsearchable Riches

Progress

I was buried under cleaning-ness yesterday, so I missed the chance to provide a progress report. Here it is now...



It isn't completely finished yet, but the room certainly looks better : )

a BIG job

To anyone who doesn't believe that I am capable of occupying a disorderly, cluttered space----take these as proof...




But don't worry....the living conditions will be improved during the next few hours : ) Stay tuned for progress reports...

Precious

* * * * * * * * * * *

Baby, oh baby.

This is for people who are tired of looking at dippy-eggs : )

But, I'm tired and my mind isn't on blog mode. So... yeah... that's it.

; )

Eventual Success

My first success story...er...picture of dippy eggs.

In Their Words

Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Whoever is open, loyal, true; of humane and affable demeanour; honourable himself, and in his judgement of others; faithful to his word as to the law and faithful alike to God and man...such a man is a true gentleman.

Thinking.


Pondersome thoughts.

24 hours.

What an interesting 24 hours!

At this time last night we were looking for and praying for an open ER to treat gunner :-)'s achey-?breaky? finger due to a not-so-softball. But, the Lord worked and blessed us with a short stay at the ER..."short" is relative to the average wait in an ER, that is. No major damage, at least not that 4-6 weeks rest can't heal.

And, today...some of the best news of the last week: a solid summer job!! One that will provide good hours and great experience, but also be beneficial to all involved.

Thank you, Jesus. Your faithfulness amazes me, yet again!

Just a few...

Just a few of the many reminders of someone special ; )

Something Beautiful

This is a song for anyone whose ever been
knowcked down and can't get back again
stuck in the corner, can't move forward
all alone and you think you're going nowhere
this is a song for anyone whose ever stood
underneath the sun
and felt so small, two feet tall and so out of place
He sees you--He knows you--He loves you
and He wants you to know that

The life that you've been living
the days that you've been given
were made for something beautiful
life--don't let it pass you by
because you were created for something beautiful

Home Sweet Home.

It Shall Be Lovely!

Well, the van is packed full...almost no room for us : ) It's amazing how much stuff one can fit into half of a small dorm room. I didn't even know that I owned that much stuff.

May 3 marks the day that I have successfully completed one year of college, and will no be returning to a much better state of residence : ) I must say, the flatlands and winds are not a perk out here...seeing the mountains as we drive home is so exciting! Anywho, it's hard to believe that one year is over. But, don't get me wrong--It's a good feeling! Only 3 more to go until I will be a registered nurse, Lord willing.

And, finally!! No more chemistry! (Except for what we need to know about chemistry in pharmacology.) Just the wonderfully difficult A&P (anatomy and physiology) and microbiology in the fall.

But, first, a nice little road trip. I'm predicting some wonderful conversations, lots of laughter, probably 8-10 cds, a yummy lunch, and lots of mileage.

It shall be lovely!
: )

So........I have this sense that we're in the same state....


; )

Sooooo close!!!

One more final!

Less than 12 hours!!

24-ish hours until I leave!!!



Oooohhhhh, this is sooo exciting! : D

I need a break.

How to Kill a Spider

1. Put on shoes. It's not a good idea to walk around barefoot, or even semibarefoot with a spider on the loose.
2. Grab a shoe, or any nearby object--a Bible Doctrine book, a two-by-four, your roomate's laptop... Stand six to eight feet away from the spider and throw whatever-it-is at the arachnid. If you miss (and you inevitably will) and it scampers away, proceed to step three.
3. Find the spider again in a dark corner or under your bed.
4. Prance around for at least a minute. Try to think of a way to get rid of it without having to put any part of your body anywhere near it.
5. Take three deep breaths.
6. If possible, step on it and continue according to instructions. If not, proceed to the bottom of the page for alternate directions.
7. Lift foot and inspect.
8. Step near it again, just to make sure it's dead. If it appears to be dead, skip to step 13. If it scampers away, proceed to step nine.
   
9. Find the spider again.
10. Take three more deep breaths.
11. Stomp on it seven or eight times to ensure smooshage.
12. Lift foot and inspect. If spider appears dead, proceed to step 13.
13. Retrieve a tissue, washcloth, or a roommate's sock to clean the remains off of your shoe or out of your carpet.
14. Place the goo in the tissue. Make sure to gather up all the legs (even the ones that are still twitching) that have fallen off during the stomping and wiping and/or scraping. Carefully fold the tissue so that you don't have to see the spidery remains, but don't squeeze it too hard, or you might crunch the body inside.
15. Walk quickly, run or sprint to the nearest bathroom. Send the tissuey coffin to a swirling, watery doom. Note: Do not flush washcloths, socks, or other foreign objects used for this purpose.
16. Wash hands.
17. Move to another room for the next four to six hours, or until your heart rate has slowed to a normal pace.

Alternate directions: If the spider has hidden itself in some place out of reach of your foot, get hairspray. Hold can or bottle six to eight inches away, and spray until the spider is wet and shiny. Watch where it runs, though; undoubtedly it will. Now get a hairdryer. Point and blow until the arachnid is dry and crusty.

The Washing Machine.

Today I washed my last basket of clothes before I go home for the summer. As I folded my newly clean, dry clothes..I pondered the amazing invention of the washing machine. Although I never thought about such things before, today my washing duties (with the immense help of a washing machine) made me eternally grateful that I did not need to....

Get in a car
Drive to the nearby state park
Go down to the river
Select some rocks
Beat my clothes
Wash them out in the COLD water (which would also eliminate any feeling in my hands)
Prop up my clothes with sticks (to dry in the sun, of course)
When the clothes dried, pick pieces of bark off of my clothes (from the sticks)
Get back in a car
Drive back to school


Only to find that I forgot a sock on the riverbank.


Jesus,
Thank you for creating the person who invented the washing machine. And dryer.
Amen.

Thank you, once again, for your prayers...I received my STNA exam results today, and I am thrilled to be able to enform you that I am now a nurse aide!

May this profession be a blessing to otheres...may I show Christ's love to my patients.


Soli Deo Gloria.
To God ALONE be the glory.

Test is Over!!!!

Thank you for your prayers. I did feel an sense of peace this morning....Don't get me wrong, I was nervous; but God was with me, and I felt His presence. I won't get the results of the test until Wednesday or Thursday; I feel like it went alright but I don't know what the evaluator thought.

But, I feel like I did my best and that's all that He asks for. Whatever the results of this test, I'll know that He was my Jehovah Jireh, my Provider.

Please Pray

If you are reading this post at anytime prior to noon on Saturday, April 14th, please offer a quick prayer for me. Tomorrow (the 14th) I will be taking an STNA (state tested nurse aide) test. Although it is not required for CU's nursing program, it would be a beneficial certification to add to my resume.

The test is made of two parts: written test and skills test (hands on). The skills are not necessarily difficult, but each skill is divided into meticulous steps. Each skill has several steps that are bolded: in other words, if you miss these steps you fail, no questions asked. Otherwise, you are expected to complete at least 80% of the steps...to the average citizen, that doesn't sound intimidating. However, the experience is incredibly nervewracking....and I tend to feel a lot of butterflies before big things. I am confident in my abilities, but unsure of my nerves : ) The test begins at 7:30AM.


Please pray that any nervousness I experience would not hinder me from being able to demonstrate the skills that I learned and practiced.

Blessed

I am blessed beyond belief. How is it that a year ago we never imagined this? It's wonderful, fun and blessing-ful all at the same time.

Thank you for this weekend. I know that saying goodbye was hard for us, but the amazing talks we had help to make the miles seem shorter...and hopefully the weeks will go faster. There's something about those long talks that makes the short breaks so special.

Miss you.
; )

Last night, Shane&Shane, along with guests Phil Wickham and Shawn McDonald, gave a concert at Cedarville University. CU donated $1 from each ticket sold to a CU student recovering from an accident...the concert raised about $1,100!! Over Spring break, one of our students, Dan, landed on his head while doing a backflip on a missions trip in Mexico. He is currently paralyzed, but in good spirits.

Random Sweetness

RANDOM SWEETNESS

If your greatest dreams came true, would I be in them?

If you had to set a life goal, could I help you achieve it?

If you laughed your head off, would I have told the joke?

If you tripped, could I help you up?

If you cried, would you want me to hold you?

If you drove 500 miles, would it be cause you missed me?

If you heard your favorite song, would it remind you of me?

If I asked you for another girl’s number, would you be jealous?

If I left, would you be sad?

If you saw a guy’s outfit at the mall, would you imagine me wearing it?

If you cooked a meal, would you wonder if I would like it?

If you were bored, would you ever think of me?

Could you fall asleep on my shoulder?

Would it hurt if I were mad at you?

If we both looked back on our best memories, would any of them be the same?

If I did something hilariously stupid, would you be there to take a picture?

If I reached my goal, would you be proud?

Do you still have the first thing I ever gave you?

If you had a secret, would you tell me?

If you couldn’t finish your chicken nuggets, could I have the rest?

Would you swear to never let me jump out of an airplane or drive a motorcycle?

Would you wait to see a movie so you could go with me instead of with your
friends on opening night?

If you just needed to vent, could I listen?

If I called and woke you up in the morning, would you be glad to hear my voice?

If you were lonely, could I hang out with you?

If you went on vacation, would you buy me a little post card with your last 4
dollars and write a little smiley face on it and give it to me when you got home because you forgot to mail it?

Would you dance with me under the stars in your backyard to the sound of my car stereo?

If you found a spider on your wall, would you call me at 11 p.m. just so I could come smash it for you?

If I asked you to do something difficult, would you trust me?

With a personality all her own

After completing a personality test, an assignment for psychology:


"Your score on extraversion is low...you are introverted, reserved, and quiet."


"Your high level of agreeableness indicates a strong interest in others' needs and well-being. You are pleasant, sympathetic, and cooperative."


"Your score on conscientiousness is high. This means you set clear goals and pursue them with determination. People regard you as reliable and hard-working."


"Your score on neuroticisim is low, indicating that you are exceptionally calm, composed and unflappable. You do not react with intense emotions, even to situations that most people would describe as stressful."


"Your score on openness to experience is low, indicating you like to think in plain and simple terms. Others describe you as down-to-earth, practical, and conservative."



So, what do you think? Is the test accurate? [The writers of the test recommend asking others if the results seem accurate : ) ]

Why, thank you!

"Gunner :-)",

Oh! How can I express enough thanks?! I'm so glad you knew exactly what I wanted for a present... I almost jumped out my skin when I saw it arriving! : )





In case anyone thinks I am being completely serious...this post was created merely for the intent of producing a smile. However, I did spot a llama walking down the sidewalk of the CU campus today...I just thought the homework had affected my sanity.

Oh Bother.

Today has not been a productive day. At all. I think I've accomplished two things so far. Laundry and reading an article for comp. That's pathetic.

I took a supposed-to-be-15-minute-nap-turned-1.5-hour-nap. Oops. And I'm still sleepy.

Oh goodness. I wish I get energized. But I just can't.

Well, enough moaning. I should get to work now...a full 3 hours later than I had hoped to get to work. oh bother.

Yes You Have

Every tree and every stone
Every rushing wind that moans
They sing Your praise
My God, they sing Your praise
Every star and open sky
Tell of Your glory divine
They shout Your praise
They shout Your praise, yeah

You’ve stolen my heart
Yes, You have!
You’ve stolen my heart
Yes, You have!
You’ve wiped away the stains
And broke away the chains
Yes, You have!!

With Your love You set me free
Three nails gave me liberty
So I’ll sing Your praise
My God, I’ll sing Your praise
Oh, with Your love
You forgave my sin
Forgot my past
And brought me back again
So I’ll sing Your praise
I’ll sing Your praise, yeah

If I ascend into the sky
Or hide behind the night
I can not run Your love is chasing me
If I fall into the sea
Your hand will rescue me
No one will take Your place
Because

This is all for You
Yes, this is all for You
You’re the King of the world
You’re the King of the world

Yes You Have
Leeland

Praying for YOU! ; )

Nothing is impossible
Nothing's out of reach
All good things will come to those
Who faithfully believe

When you see a mountain
Standing is your way
Known that it will move for you
If only you will pray

'Cause prayer can move a mountain
Prayer can stop the doubt
And prayer can calm the raging heart of unbelief
For I know when I go on my knees
God will move for me
And prove what He can do
Through prayer

Somewhere there's a miracle
Waiting 'round the bend
How He's blessed you in the past
He'll do it once again

You're not forgotten
Or been turned away
The Lord's about to move for you
If only you will pray

I know that He won't leave me all alone
The Lord has kept me safe till now
He'll show me when
He'll show me how
And I know that I can't make it on my own
But with the power of God in me
There's nothing great that I can't be
No mountain high, no valley low
Will change my mind 'cause this I know

Move, move, right now
Holy Spirit...

"Prayer"

Back to the Grind.

Back to the grind. Even though I'm looking forward to being back with the people, the work that awaits me back at CU does not excite me. Perhaps it's just the nervousness of knowing about all the work that needs to be done in the next several weeks.


I guess it just means taking it one day at a time and relying on God every step of the way.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

P.S. I loved every special moment of this break ; )

To wish for a simple answer

Sometimes I wish there was just a simple answer to calm the concern.

Word of God speak * Would you pour down like rain * Washing my eyes to see * Your majesty * To be still and know * That You're in this place * Please let me stay and rest * In Your holiness

The Life

This is the life...

: )

I can hardly contain my excitement

; D

Who Would Have Known?

A simple, dorm-room-perfect meal:

Grilled cheese sandwiches made with a clothes iron...

You'll have to ask me about it sometime...right now I need to get some rest for the two hefty days coming fullspeed at me. But, it's soon time to go home!!!!

6 days...

Only 6 more days!! If only there wasn't so much craziness between now and then...biochem test, nursing test, psych test, comp revisions and a spifo prep (<------ that is the killer)

I want to get A-'s and up this semester....but sometimes...okay, often...that seems close to impossible. I'm trying to remind myself that it's doing my best that counts, that B's are good too... but sometimes the pressure to get the top grades bears down...


Please pray that I will be able to focus this week, accomplish my work efficiently and completely...and be satisfied with the job I do...and the grades I get.



See ya soon! ; )

I have been blessed!

I guess you could say this is like a little puzzle....I hope it's not too hard : )

Yay for concerts at CU!

Oooohhhhh...concerts! So much fun!

Featuring:
Newsboys

A sign of the season...

Snow Bunny

I'm a little snow bunny...and lovin' it!

: D


especially since i don't have to shovel : )

Some days...

Some days, like today, pass by so quickly...almost in the blink of an eye...

...but some days don't...

...and it is on those days that I am especially grateful for the memories, the pictures, the jokes...

; )

Interesting thought to ponder...

Okay, so I admit it...this might appear random...but it's still interesting.


* * How fast does the average snail move? * *



I think I heard of one that crawled at an amazing 5.972 miles per hour! That's pretty incredible for a snail!

Merry Christmas!

Okay, so it's not Christmas...but I saw this today and like it. Hope you are having a great day!

If one night...

Stephen Speaks

In case you didn't discover the addition to my blog...

Scroll down the page and you should find an iSound media player in the column on the right side of the blog. This media player delivers the tunes of Stephen Speaks, a music group that, somehow, helps me through hours and hours of studying. It has been good study music, as well as meaningful music. You will probably have to push play, but I hope it works. (If it doesn't you can go to isound.com and search for Stephen Speaks.)

I hope you enjoy it! : D

Brrrrrrr....

To a dear friend...

HE is your refuge, your comfort. May you continue to seek after His heart.
I love you. I'm praying for you.

Well, sometimes my life
Just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

CHORUS:
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart

CHORUS

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something
I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band
Is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

CHORUS

You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

...my favorite corner ; )

"...Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."
~ Psalm 25: 5

It was a little difficult to capture the gorgeous sunset on the way back to CU...I took a few pictures of semis in the process : )

Heehee...

New Every Morning

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the Lord's great love
we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail...

...They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself,
"The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."

Lamentations 3:22-24

My wish...

Rascal Flatts

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too
Yeah, this, is my wish

I hope you never look back, but you never forget
All the ones who love you, and the place you left
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah, more than anything

Just one more thing...

Thank you for encouraging me and challenging me to grow...I am so thankful that you love Him and have that deep desire to follow after Him.

I hope you had a good day!!

toodles! ; )

Happiness...

...I wish for happiness, but how many times do I thank Him for the little things that make me giggle? Perhaps they're even considered "ordinary" but they're special to me because they spark a memory and cause a smile to burst onto my face...or even irresistible giggles.
What's the cause? ...Maybe it's going away and then coming home...maybe it's the Christmas season...maybe it's the blessings of the last few months : )...who knows.


but, i'm thankful. and absolutely happy.

I am HOME!!!!!!!!

Feet Wet

standing at the water's edge, i feel a trembling fear
as the waves crash 'round my ankles
feel the thunder in my ear
i feel the change is coming, the wind is at my back
but doubt overtakes me and my eyes turn to black
my past lurks behind me, keeping me on guard
i don't want to chance it, these steps are just too hard
i know He's behind me but what can i do
i'm frail, i'm human, and i don't want to fail you

i can't walk on water with these dirty feet 
but He can walk on water and He'll carry me

so put your arms around me carry me to sea
waves knock against me but i know I'm free
from death and loneliness, darkness, despair
this life is choppy but i don't care


Stephen Speaks, listen here...

Yay!

Yay for rockin' speech grades!!!!! So glad that the speeches are finally over and that they went a lot better than I expected at the beginning of the semester...

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Now...to take the plunge into this week of tests, tests and more tests....might not have time to update much this week because I will be buried beneath all my books and notes!

Thank You

Thank you for the surprise study break : D ... it was wonderful! Oh, and your pictures are amazing... (see the link "This makes me smile" on the side of this blog)

"The Potter's Hand"

Know that I am thinking of you...these words are my prayer for you...

"The Potter's Hand"
Darlene Zschech

Beautiful Lord
Wonderful Savior
I know for sure all of my days
Are held in Your hand
Crafted into Your perfect plan

You gently call me
Into Your presence
Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord
To live all of my life
Through Your eyes

I'm captured by Your holy calling
Set me apart
I know You're drawing me to Yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Take me, mold me
Use me, fill me
I give my life
To the Potter's hand
Call me, guide me
Lead me, walk beside me
I give my life
To the Potter's hand
