When winter comes in summer
When there's no more forever
That's when I'll stop loving you
I'm sure youve heard these words before
And I know it's hard for you to trust them once more
You're afraid it all might end in a broken heart it's scared of breaking again
Cause you gotta believe me I'll never leave you.
You'll never cry as long as I'm am there
And I will always be there You will never be without, no
That's when I'll stop loving you, yeah
As long as sunlight lights the sky
The light of love will be found in these eyes of mine
And I will shine that light for you
You're the only one I'll ever give this heart to
What I'm trying to say is nothing will change this Loving on
time you will find there Cause I will always be there
You will always have all my love

Makes You Smile

So, I checked my email and discovered that Nicole had left a post on this blog. That is so cool. She was my suitemate at Calvin for about 2 months, and she was amazing. Fun and easy going. I remember going to Meijer with her around midnight one night in my car and when we came out it had sleeted and the parking lot was empty. So I taught her to drive my car on the ice. It was scary and memorable. Just wanted to let her and all the other people from Calvin know that even though I wasnt there long, that you have impacted my life in ways you will never know. When I left, it was for wrong reasons. Though it has worked out in the end, it will always be something I regret and a time I wish I could get back to and fix.

You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This

I've got a funny feeling the moment that your lips touched mine
Something shot right through me, My heart skipped a beat in time
There's a different feel about you tonight
It's got me thinkin' lots of crazy things
I even think I saw a flash of light, It felt like electricity
You shouldn't kiss me like this unless you mean it like that
Cause I'll just close my eyes and I won't know where I'm at
We'll get lost on this dance floor
Spinnin' around and around and around

They're all watchin' us now, They think we're falling in love
They'd never believe we're just friends
When you kiss me like this I think you mean it like that
If you do baby kiss me again

Everybody swears we make the perfect pair
But dancing is as far as it goes
Girl you've never moved me quitethe way you moved me tonight
I just wanted you to know
I just wanted you to know ~Toby Keith

Praise

You said, "ask and you will receive whatever you need."
You said, "pray and I'll hear from heaven, and I'll heal your land."
You said "Your glory will fill the earthlike water the sea".
You said, "lift up your eyes;the harvest is here, the kingdom is near."
You said, "ask and I'll give the nations to you."
oh Lord, that's the cry of my heart.
distant shores and the islands will see
Lord, Let this song be my prayer. Let your Kingdom be near. Father help me to see your harvest here, in Charleston. Give me boldness to do your Will and strive after you with EVERYTHING that I am. Take my heart and let it be transformed to your will. I say "Jesus, it's all about you, I want to be fully yours" but is that true? If it's not Lord, Make it true. Make my life about enlarging your Kingdom. Amen

Great Weekend

Whats up my friends? So this weekend was amazingly fun. What a relief and stress-breaker it is to finally get a Friday and Saturday night off from work. So what did I do with all this free time you ask? Well, Friday I chilled and went running for about 45 min. It was nice not to be counting down the hours until work began. Then Kristi Ford came over and played the "knock on the wall" game with the next door neighbors. (It's actually quite amusing bc it can go on for hours!!!)
Then Saturday, I woke up and went straight to work and worked until 6. Got off and Keturah and Nan came over and we watched I AM SAM, then Rach came over and brought a friend. We went to the 9:25 showing of THE POLAR EXPRESS at the Imax (Huge screen and 3D!!!!). We all go to wear these silly glasses and such. After the movie we all went and were near the water, only Keturah had to go to the bathroom. So she and I went into this Restaurant and asked to use their bathroom. I ran into a guy I know from Abstract math! So we went to the womens room and opened the door. Only there was a man there, standing in one of the stalls w/the door wide open, just standing there peeing. Keturah and I got an eyefull. We left and waited outside and he was like "Sorry I couldnt wait." haha he was so wasted. While I was waiting for Keturah to finish, these really funny drunk girls came in and were "pee faster so we can go do more shots" "ouch, my toenail fell off" "I ripped my skirt upto my butt" Needless to say it was very hard not to laugh while I was in there with them. Anyways, that was my interesting weekend, and now it's less than 48 hours til I'm back in NAPTOWN!

Oh Gesh

So I think I have a problem. I really like Rob. A lot. I liked him before I knew he was a great Christian guy. We talk a lot and stuff and finally I've come to the conclusion that something needs to progess. Thats my story. Oh gesh. I like him a lot!

Josephine

So, today Leigh-Ann helped me take Josephine to the Honda dealer. They said there are 2 things wrong: 1) broken hydrolic clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder and 2) the CV boots are cracking. So what does that mean? the hydrolic cylinders are leaking fluid and so basically not allowing the catchpoint to catch at the right spot. The CV boots... um, the guy explained it as "have you ever hear a car 'click' when it turns? well it's bc the cv boots have broken" so I'm not exactly sure about this, but that doesn't sound so great. Well, I am getting the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder fixed for about 450 bucks. Then it will be safe to drive home at Christmas and then get ready to sell her. Sad day, but at least she's doing better and the CV boot thing isnt a horrible problem, at least not for a while the guy said.
Other fun things today. I went to Folly Beach w/Michael Rivera. That was really fun actually. Did you know that their uniforms are really just a jacket w/fake collars and stuff. Oh gesh. haha Well, we got to Folly, and he took out his blanket and we went onto the beach and sat, watching the sunset. I dono, we just talked about a lot of stuff. Then the gnats were killing him so we walked a really long ways and then back. We ended up on the pier and walked to the end and up onto the top part and watched the water and talked about life then just sat and hung out. It was really nice. Relaxing and enjoyable I think is the right term. Also, in his cool truck is the most awesome Subwoofer. Man can that base rock. Maybe I should ride w/him when we go to Crossroads next semester with BCM! haha

Josephine

My baby, Josephine, has come to the end of her life. Well, at least her life with me. Her clutch is just about to give out and my parents have decided they do not want me to drive her home to MD. Sad that she will never sit in her spot anymore. So if you can just pray that we can get this all worked out. It looks like I'm going to be purchasing Kate Fullers car, but I can't get that until Jan 2. That still leaves me carless for over a month and no real way of getting home for Christmas. So, prayer about good decisions would be awesome. thanks

Let It All Out

Let it all out Get it all out
Rip it out Remove it
Don't be alarmed When the wound begins to bleed
Cause we're so scared to find out
What this life's all about So scared we're going to lose it
Not knowing all along That's exactly what we need
And today I will trust you with confidence
Of a man who's never known defeat
But tomorrow, upon hearing what I did
I will stare at you in disbelief
Oh inconsistent me Crying out for consistency
And you said I know that this will hurt
But if I don't break your heart
Then things will just get worse
If the burden seems too much to bear
Remember the end will justify
The pain it took to get us there
~Relient K
the Other song that describes me, maybe even better is this:
I watched the proverbial sunrisecoming up over the Pacific
and you might think I'm losing my mind,
but I will shy away from the specifics...
'cause I don't want you to know where I am'
cause then you'll see my heart in the saddest state it's ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said that
it's the very moment thatI wish that I could take back.
I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
cause who I am hates who I've been. Who I am hates who I've been.
I talk to absolutely no one. Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
to create so much pressure that I’ll soon blow up. ~Relient K

HOME!

I can't wait to go home in 2 weeks. It's strange... I never want to be there, but lately I have just wanted to go home, sit on my couch and pet my dogs. Three dogs to love, 3 dogs to cuddle, and 3 dogs to adore. Nothing better than that! Somehow being around my Daisy May makes life better and just fills my heart to overflowing. My heart needs that badly. I am depleted, saddened, empty. I want to long for Christ, but am not lately. I want to do well in classes, but the more I try the worse it's becoming this semester.
It's definitely time to go home and get replenished. See Jen, who always helps put things into perspective. Go Mid Hunting with Katie. Run with dad and talk about life. Go for a walk down my street with my walkman like I've down most days for almost 9 years now. Sit beside the water and just relax. 2 weeks, I can make it. Plunge ahead with school and classes and failure until then!!!!

Why? You asked

Why do I act as I do? You asked me this and I didn't know. Actually I still don't know. For as long as I can remember, when trying to joke around I have always ended up making a blunder out of things. This is not a first, and most likely won't be a last. I have an uncanny knack of hurting people or making myself look like an idiot, time and time again. Maybe the goal should be to just stop joking around. Be the other side of me more often. Keep that desire to throw water and food, even though it makes most laugh, to curb it and make it go away. Time to officially grow up huh? I don't want to be seen as 5. I want to be an adult. Maybe I need to act like it more. So as of today, old, joking self = gone. mature me = here. ok, thats enough

Strange Noises...

Haha, so my neighbors are really funny. Right now they are calling girls on speaker phone, which for some reason I can hear, and talking about ridiculous things... hmm. So yeah, fun times over here in the SJ. Maybe they will get the drift that no girls want to talk to them. They sound so funny though the wall though.
Don't really know what to write about, but I'm in a writing mood. This week is insane. Today I had to go get my chipped tooth fixed. Yeah, at the fair you can hurt yourself. But it's all good. Tomorrow will be spent in class and then studying for this horrible Abstract Math test. Wed is class, studying, prayer in our lobby, studying... Thursday is the day of death. TEST! Then mom is coming in the evening. Friday consists of class and work. Maybe it's not such an overwhelming week, but abstract math scares me.
On the plus side, it's been so warm. Today is November 1, and it was over 80 degrees out. I'm still in shorts and a t-shirt at 10pm. At this moment I am ready for thanksgiving break. Ready for my puppies and my house. It's weird, I'm not homesick like I've felt before but this is also the longest I've gone w/out seeing anyone from home. Can you believe it's November already? Because I def cant. Ok maybe that is enough writing.
