Sometimes you’re talking with a boy and he keeps saying you’re cute and you have to tell him that he’s saying that too much. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. Pretty crazy, huh? I think I heard it from a certain person more today than I have heard it collectively from any non-boyfriend ever since I understood what “cute” was. While I don’t think that being called cute is necessarily a good thing, it did make me laugh quite a bit. So, thanks Felix! ^_^ I appreciate your ability to make me laugh!
Not intending to mislead her
But idolatry, like a fever,
Was burning her up unaware
He was everything and anything
And nothing could ever bring him down
And so it goes, pedestals only stand so long
Where was her faith when he was gone
CHORUS:
Ten miles wide and one inch deep
An endless surface with nothing underneath
Underneath her vast exterior
Her depth was proven to be inferior
Her faith was ten miles wide and one inch deep
In the wake of disillusion
Left searching for solution
She was forced to redefine
All of the things she would never have to question
And so it goes, pedestals only stand so long
She’s looking for a faith that goes beyond…
CHORUS
And now she knows, pedestals only stand so long
She’s looking for a faith that goes beyond…
CHORUS

True story. I guess I’m not the only one who’s been in that situation before. Before I knew it, I was letting someone become my everything- inadvertantly placing the adoration that belonged to God alone in the hands of a mere man. I know there’s something to be said for love and sacrafice in a relationship, but God not only should be on top, He needs to be on Top.
Although, I won’t allow man to be an idol for me, I will still be obedient and submissive to my husband (God willing). What a joy it would be to sit at his feet and wash them - that I may be a servant and a representative of Christ for him. *sigh* All in His time
Starting off my 3 song life (as of today) story was Audio Adrenaline with “The Good Life.” The strong messege of this song reminds me that even when “the people that I’ve loved the most have turn their backs and ran” I still have the good life, because I have Jesus, and he’s all that matters. This song got chased down with a good dose of “Getting Into You” by Relient K reminding me that God’s not concerned with what I’ve done in the past, but what I will do with the life that he is giving me. Finally, I sat back and reflected on the way my heart attitude is changed and how I can agree with Brandon Heath in that “I’m Not Who I Was.”
Those are just a few songs that might help you relate to what I’ve been feeling lately, but I’ve been singing and jumping around for joy because The Afters are still making me happy with Myspace Girl ^_^ There’s something else that’s been making me jump around and be happy lately too, but I hardly think it’s blog material. If ya want to know you can always e-mail me or whatever
Anyways, this is a little something I wrote on a coupon thing from meijer the other day, because I thought of it while I was walking out of the store. It’s no where close to finished, but it might be good for a chorus or something. Here it is:
I want to walk with you
Until I can’t lift my feet
I want to sing your name
Driving down the street
I want to life you up
Like you’ve lifted me
Cause when you walk with me
Oh, you set me free

Oh yeah, and I get to volunteer at our Regional Science Olympiad tomorrow! w00t! Hurray for hanging out with a bunch of geeks and nerds, and ex-chemistry teacher ^_^ I’m so blessed!
Well, I’ll start off by saying, today has been great! I had class this morning and everything went just peachy. Then I planned on writing essays/studying for my history exam, but I was pleasantly interrupted by some conversation with my friend Mary. We hung out and chatted for a while and studied for awhile. During one part of our chatting a young man sitting at the same table as us chimed in, and I ended up talking to him for a while. So, I have a new friend named Felix New friends make me happy.
So, I got most of my history essays written, and talked with Felix, and then I went to softball practice. Practice went fairly well other than a few minor mistakes. After practice, my dad took me back to school, and as I climbed the first fleet of stairs in the Gannon Building, I heard the sweet sound of guitar playing coming from a little ways up. I asked if the young man (Michael) playing the guitar minded if I listened, and we talked some, but as I was in quite a hurry to study, I cut our talk short. We exchanged phone numbers and then I went on my way. New friends make me happy! ^_^ Then I studied for about an hour and made small talk with another friend of mine. So, after studying for the exam, I got to take the exam. About 5 minutes into class I became distracted by this thought: I have to pee, I have to PEE, I HAVE TO PEE- this was just a little incentive to finish the exam as quickly as possible. There was at least one term that I missed 4 points on. We were supposed to talk about Bacon’s Rebellion… unfortunately for me, that is not something I studied, so I made up a story about a pig rebelling against a slaughter machine and losing. I think it’ll get a chuckle out of my instructor at least ^_^ Other than that, I think I got most of the points on the exam.
After relieving myself, I made my way back to the computer lab area where I spent about 10-15 minutes checking facebook before my last class of the night. Upon arriving at my Chemistry class I learned that I had the high score on our test, which I didn’t expect, so that made me super happy. I only missed one m.c. question. I was in class for roughly 2 hours, during which I payed attention and took notes, and may have actually learned something! Learning stuff is great
After class I came home and took some pictures of the moon, but I can’t really take great pictures with my camera, so you don’t get much of the “eclipse effect”… but some of the pics before the eclipse were alright. Maybe I’ll get them up here sometime.
So, I was online just a couple hours ago waiting for my Chemistry class to start. I was checking blogs and listening to music on a computer in this science center at my college. I went to youtube and began listening/watching Casting Crown’s “East to West”. I had my headphones plugged into the computer and was listening and minding my own business when I get a tap on my shoulder. I take off my headphones and it turns out that even though they were plugged in, in no way was I the only one hearing that song! There must have been some glitch in the computer or something, because the music was coming through my headphones as well as the computer! So… me = embarrassed. BUT, I met a new friend because of it. As it turns out, the young man sitting next to me likes that song as well, and also plays in a Christian Rock band called FaceDown. How lucky am I to have God place Christian people in my life? I just feel so blessed right now. Thanks God! ^_^ And THAT is something that makes me smile.
A couple other things that make me smile: A fairly easy lab in Chemistry, a fairly easy test in Chemistry, knowing that I don’t have to get up and go to school tomorrow morning, the hope of completing rough drafts for my History exam tomorrow, and again, God has just blessed me so much!

So what happens when you’re lonely? Doesn’t it usually start out with some self-pity… then you start remembering the “good days,” and then ultimately you find yourself in a pool of your own tears and Kleenex wondering what happened to make you so miserable. But sometimes, every once in a great many lonelinesses, you start seeking something that’s beyond yourself. You realize that, yeah, you’re by yourself for a moment, but you’re not really by yourself. You remember the times when you wanted to hang out with that certain person 1 on 1 but there were so many people around that you didn’t get to spend the quality time you wanted- then it clicks. Right now, you’ve got that 1 on 1 time with the very God who created you. You let go of those feelings of inadequacy that you’ve been hoarding for so long, and you let yourself be loved by the One who has given everything to know you. And that’s why being really lonely is sometimes super awesome.
I’ll leave the posting of the Rhett and Link Video to Raquel. After all, I do believe that is her joy ^_^
So, yesterday I was told that it’s impossible to eat 6 saltines in a minute without any sort of beverage, so naturally, I attempted it. I failed. I was not able to swallow the crackers which absorbed all the liquid out of my mouth. Afterwards, I got online and watched some videos of people who actually were able to do it. One guy even ate 10 in one minute. So, I’m thinking that if I practiced and had the right technique, I’d be able to do it. While I was watching the saltines videos, my mom noticed that one of the related videos was about eating a teaspoon of cinnamon. I thought that sounded like I might be able to accomplish it, so I attempted it. Here are my results:
