East to West

It's funny how I have listened to this song over and over and never really listened to the lyrics until today. I really love this song... and now I love the lyrics too! They are very inspirational.

Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness

The chains of yesterday surround me I yearn for peace and rest

I don't want to end up where You found me

And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight

I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west

And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned

But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way

Jesus can You show me just how far the east is from the west

'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again

In the arms of Your mercy I find rest

'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west

From one scarred hand to the other

I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin

Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in

Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way

Jesus can You show me just how far the east is from the west
'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'Cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other

Kisses!

New Hair Time!

I think it's easier for people to understand what's going on in my life when they can see pictures of it! And pictures are a lot more interesting than just plain ol' words... so here you go!

This is my new hair! Edwina's masterpiece!
It is brown, blonde and red in the back.
See that little bit of red there?
WOOT! Lots of red! Fun stuff. Haha...

I guess that is what's going on for now. Ryan and I are going on a Wesley leadership retreat in Ceta Canyon tonight. It's going to be fun! Sleeping with the bugs!! :D

Kisses!

Some Pictures for You

Here is a picture of my pink hair! It isn't like that anymore... it's faded a lot. Haha.. It was fun while it lasted!

And this is a pic of my third painting! I should have cropped the pic cuz it looks funny with everything around it. Oh well!

Kisses!

Hello world!

I can't believe it's already the 11th of October! Thanksgiving and Christmas are gonna be here before we know it!

The same ol' boring stuff is going on in my life... except for now my hair is pink! It isn't going to stay that way very long, though, because it is already fading a lot. I have an appointment next Friday and I'm gonna dye it brown and try out some extensions! Edwina told me that I could keep my hair short and put extensions in for the wedding if I wanted. Not only would it make my hair longer, but it would also make it a lot thicker! So we are going to test it out to see if that's what I want to do. I'm pretty excited!

I'm also excited because Mom, Drew and Trista are coming down today. Trista is finally going to try on her bridesmaid dress! She will look gorgeous in it... she looks gorgeous in anything! It's also WT's homecoming this weekend. So we will be going to the parade, Fair on the Square, and the football game on Saturday. And maybe on Friday night we will go to one of the haunted houses around town!

Classes are still going really well... I'm sitting in my Digital Publishing class right now. We are working on a project called "Save the Giraffes." I have to create 4 postcards that are thematic that have something to do with saving the giraffes. It's going well. And in painting class I'm about finished with my 3rd painting! I keep getting better at it I think... I really like the painting I am working on. When I am home, I will try to post some pictures for everyone!

And I love coffee. It's so great. Sorry... I'm kind of random sometimes.

Ryan is doing pretty good too. He still loves work. But other than going to work, his days are filled with practicing with the Wesley worship band, playing his still-kind-of-new xbox360, and hanging out with me of course! We do date nights on Wednesdays so that we have time every week to just hang out with each other and not everyone else. We went to the dollar theater last night and watched the newest Harry Potter. He hadn't seen it yet and I was really excited that he wanted to go see it! And he liked it! :D While we were watching the movie it started raining like CRAZY and we could hear it hitting the roof. When the movie was over, it was still raining, but we decided to run outside anyway and try to get back to my house. We should have just stayed because it was flooding all over Amarillo!! There was one point where the exhaust to my poor little car was actually UNDER WATER! I could hear it making gurgling sounds. It was...what they call...ya know....FREAKY!

Anyway, I guess I better get ready to start class in a few minutes. That turned into a really long blog... and I didn't even have anything to talk about! Haha...

Kisses

Blah

Good morning!

Here I am, sitting in class... BORED... so I am going to write a little blog. I've been sick the last few days (Ryan!) and I am finally getting over it. I don't have much of a voice today, though... it's very strange. Not too much has been going on. Springfield was pretty good. We won the football game by A LOT, so it was kind of boring to watch, but the marching band was so awesome! I am so proud of Drew for deciding to try it out. They look so amazing. I don't think the band has marched like that in probably 15 years!

It's just been a typical week. I've been going to class and Ryan has been going to work. Nothing to exciting has been happening in our lives! When something happens, I will be sure to tell you all. :D

Until then, I'm going to actually do something useful in class!

Kisses!
