His love never fails me,

I found this story on the internet and it made my heart sing :) I got excited!

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) -- Police say three lions rescued a 12-year-old girl kidnapped by men who wanted to force her into marriage, chasing off her abductors and guarding her until police and relatives tracked her down in a remote corner of Ethiopia.

There is more ----> http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/africa/06/21/ethiopia.lions.ap/

Proverbs 30:30
A lion, which is mightiest among beasts,
and doesn't retreat before anything

Proverbs 20:2
A kings terrible wrath is like the roaring of a lion anyone who provokes him endangers himself

Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no one is pursuing them but the righteous are bold as a lion

I love him

My morning started out really stressful.
I woke up late and then i couldn't find my keys anywhere.
And then i realized my mom borrowed them and i never got them back.
So i called my grandma and she gave me a ride.
Thank God she was home.
There was no was no way i would have got to work on time even if i sprinted.
I worked till four and then jordan picked me up and we drove to peoria with tracey.
It was fun.
i needed to catch up with them.
I love my girls :)
Tonight was amazing.
Steve took me to barnes and noble and we bought cd's and ate in the cafe.
He pulled the car up for me.
It was really cute<3
Then we came back to my house and watched kept.
I'm so addicted to that show!
I couldn't believe Jason kissed that girl in the bar! ahh!
I was really sad when steve had to leave. I miss him already. I love him :)

Yesterday
I woke up and realized i left my bag in steve's car. So i had i to wake him up early to get it before work. He sounds so cute when he first wakes up. I worked at hyde park all afternoon. After work steve picked me up. When i got in the car he surprised me with necklace. It was so sweet. He treats me like a princess. Then we went to Tj's and hung out with Brieanna and Tj. It was a lot of fun. We got ice cream and rented princess bride. At 10:00 Brieanna had to go home so me and steve went to his house and hung out for a little while. The whole night was magical :)

Today
Swim lessons started today. I love my new students. I was so tired when i came home. I took like a 4 hour nap. I feel like i wasted my whole day. I hate that feeling when you first wake up from a nap and you feel gross and lethargic.

I really needed a day at home though. You know what they say creativity comes from boredom. It's healthy to be bored once and a while.

I haven't updated in forever. I'm going to try to start writing on here again. I guess i was never that into it in the first place. I'm so glad it's summer! It really is a relief. I'm working again as a lifeguard. I love my job. Steve and i are doing really good. I can't believe it's going to be a year this month. Wow! I couldn't ask for more. <3 I just hope that this summer is as good as last summer.

I have so much to learn from her. I feel panicked sometimes. I want/need to know how to pray for people. I want/need to know how to heal people and minister to people. I want/need to be knowledgeable. Thats one kind of learning that i'm thirsty for. It's hard for me to feel like school is important. I mean i know it is. But sometimes school feels stupid. It feels like a waste of time. I just got to get through this. I guess thats a bad attitude.

I want to be around people who are wiser then me. I need to be feed. I miss being around adults. hmmmm.

This weekend was really fun. Steve took me to the pet store :) And to goodwill and beriane (I got awesome new rainbow colored noah's ark bible tabs! hehe)After that he made me grilled cheese and we played with tinker toys in his basement. And today we went to the park. It was a beautiful day. I love him *girly sigh*

I took a stupid quiz on alloy.com called are you a bey-atch (I forget how they spelled it?)

this was my result

Sickly Sweet

Get some backbone, honey bunch. You're so nice, everyone and their pet poodle can walk all over you. You need to stand up for yourself and acquire some attitude -- ASAP! 'Cause you're so far from having a single, solitary bee-yatch-pore in your body that we may as well saint you and send you out to pasture. Your motto is turn the other cheek, do unto others as you would have done unto you, and listen to what your parents, religious leaders, and teachers have to say – all rolled into one. And while those are very nice mottos, you also have to know when and how to protect yourself. After all, not everybody is as nice as you!

^would you say thats true about me? is it sickly?

hmmm

I stayed home from school today. I guess i just need a mental health day. I haven't had a lot of time lately to just relax. I've realized i need time to be by myself. I'm definitely an introvert.

I get my hair cut today :) Just some layers nothing drastic. But i'm still excited. I love getting my hair done. Just the smell of a hair salon, like shampoo smell yumm

I had a really weird dream last night. I had this huge ugly car and i was driving lots of people places. There was more but i can't remember. I think katie was in it. I'm not sure it was so strange.

I love getting comments! ;)

You Are 35% Normal

(Occasionally Normal)

You sure do march to your own beat...

But you're so weird, people wonder if it's a beat at all

You think on a totally different wavelength

And it's often a chore to get people to understand you

How Normal Are You?

I really wish people didn't eat pigs. . .

WAKE UP YOU'RE EATING LIVING BREATHING THINKING CREATURES MADE BY GOD. WE WERE COMMANDED TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.

Have compassion as God has compassion.
Matthew 5:48

make a choice to be connected

make a choice to be sensitive

don't let yourself be desentizied

I'm so pissed

In the end it's not the title that matters. It's how much of their heart you really had. People don't respect the title if they feel like part of the heart can be stolen.

Verstehen - Empathetic understanding of meanings others attach to actions (termed by Max Weber)

Verstehen, in German, means "to understand,"

Weber used the term to refer to the social scientist's attempt to understand both the intention and the
context of human action.

It is entering into the shoes of the other

Verstehen refers to understanding the meaning of action from another persons point of view

I feel like I let people down. i can't live up to anyones expectations. what's the matter with me?

I think "whatever" is the worst word in the world.

Thu, 03 Feb 2005 22:40:15 GMT

what would you lable me?

Sat, 29 Jan 2005 05:44:14 GMT

when you get your own. Believe me it's much more fun.

I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder hand
I'm the branch that you break

I feel pretty good right now. Me and Steve are still doing wonderful (7 months!!!) and i have amazing friends. Jordan has really been a sweetheart. I'm still struggling with school but i feel really good about this next semester. My mom doesn't think anything will change. But thats fine. I love all my new classes. I'm taking sociology this semester and so far it has been a awesome class. Track starts soon and even though that will take up a lot of my time i'm looking forward to getting some exercise. I still miss ballet terribly. It's been 2 years since i took a class. I need to go back. I guess overall i'm at a place were i'm excited about my life. I'm excited about what God has in store for me. oh! and i'm almost completely off caffeine two claps for that :)

Please pray for my friend Katie. She's fighting cancer.

I haven't updated this thing in awhile. I know you were all really bummed about it. don't lie! i watched the movie "saved" twice this weekend. And it's funny but i actually liked it a lot. What i took from it was more not to be fake then not to be a christen. But I don't know what the real message is they were trying to convey. And for a lot of people who saw it, it was just a christen bashing movie. But when Mary says to the pastor that no one fits in with the bible a 100% of the time it's so true. No one can be a perfect christen. And i think when people realize that and come down to earth a little they become much more appealing. They're a lot more fun to be around too. I don't know if it's really the best movie but it just confirmed in me a frustration i have had for along time. You can't win people for God though any kind of judgment or manipulation.

If you have time to read this it's worth your time. It's just a short story but it spoke a lot of truth to me.

I feel like i'm always at a crossroad. Every move i make determines my future. The pressure is driving me insane. Sometimes i just don't move at all hoping that time will just stop or i make the wrong move on purpose to try and prove something. Prove that i can't take it i guess? I know that's backwards. You would think that the fact that everything matters would make me so determined to do everything right. But it scares the crap out of me instead.

Fri, 31 Dec 2004 18:03:42 GMT

ANYWAY

People are unreasonable, illogical
and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

The good you do today will be
forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you
vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow
only top dogs.
Fight for some underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may
be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may
attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have
and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got

ANYWAY

Steve,
I'd just like to thank you for giving me the best day of my life <3

i was out of bed by 6 this morning to help out with this angel food ministry at my church. i just helped people pick up food but it was so rewarding. i had a lot of fun. i'm so proud of myself for getting up so early on a saturday. i didn't think i could do it. But i slept all afternoon so i don't know if it really counts. i watched The Color Purple when i got up from my nap. it's such a long movie. but it's really neat. I cried through like the whole thing (it's really sad) but it felt good to cry.

monday is 6 months with the most amazing boy in the world! <3
