SO CUTE!

I randomly saw this on Youtube's top videos and of course... I watched it. It is soooooo adorable!

Think About It

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

The Start of Somthing New

I am going to start a series on my blog called Britlit which will be a collection of poems that interest me in my school english book. It may sound stupid but some of the things in there are pretty darn sweet.

Britlit Part I

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
By: Christopher Marlowe

Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
woods, or steepy mountain yields

And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.

And I will make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;

A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;

A belt of straw and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me, and be my love.

The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning:
If these delights thy mind they move,
Then live with me and be my love.

Give Thanks

I just want to say a quick THANK YOU to God because my Dad got promoted to a managment position at Vistion where he currently works. Now our family can rest a little easier!

Be prepared to want to cry...

An Awsome Message

Katy forwarded this to me

and I thought I would share it with

All of You

It is amazing!

You are in your car driving home.
Thoughts wander to the game you want to see or meal you want to eat,
when suddenly a sound unlike any you've ever heard fills the air.

The sound is high above you.
A trumpet?
A choir?
A choir of trumpets?
You don't know, but you want to know.

So you pull over, get out of your car, and look up.
As you do, you see you aren't the only curious one.
The roadside has become a parking lot.
Car doors are open, and people are staring at the sky.
Shoppers are racing out of the grocery store.

The Little League baseball game across the street has come to a halt.
Players and parents are searching the clouds.
And what they see, and what you see, has never before been seen.

As if the sky were a curtain, the drapes of the atmosphere part.
A brilliant light spills onto the Earth.
There are no shadows.
None.
From whence came the light begins to tumble a river of color spiking crystals of every hue ever seen and a million more never seen.
Riding on the flow is an endless fleet of Angels.
They pass through the curtains one myriad at a time,
until they occupy every square inch of the sky.

North.
South.
East.
West.

Thousands of silvery wings rise and fall in unison,
And over the sound of the trumpets,
you can hear the Cherubim and seraphim chanting, Holy, holy, holy.
The final flank of angels is followed by twenty-four silver-bearded
Elders and a multitude of souls who join the angels in worship.

Presently the movement stops and the trumpets are
Silent, leaving only the triumphant triplet: Holy,Holy, holy.
Between each word is a pause. With each
Word, a profound reverence. You hear your voice join
In the chorus. You don't know why you say the words,
But you know you must.
Suddenly, the heavens are quiet. All is quiet.

The angels turn, you turn, the entire world turns and there He is.

Jesus.

Through waves of light you see the silhouetted figure of

Christ the King.

He is atop a great stallion, and the stallion is atop a billowing cloud.
He opens his mouth, and you are surrounded by his Declaration:

I am the Alpha and the Omega.

The angels bow their heads.
The elders remove their crowns.
And before you is a Figure so consuming that you know,
Instantly you know: Nothing else matters.
Forget stock markets and school reports
Sales meetings and football games.
Nothing is newsworthy...
All that mattered, matters no more...
For Christ has come.

This morning when the Lord opened a window to Heaven,
he saw me, and he asked:
"My child, what is your greatest wish for today?"

I responded:
"Lord please; take care of the person who is reading this message,
their Family and their special friends. They deserve it and I love them very much"

The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginnings but not its end.

This message works on the day you receive it.
To some it may sound dumb, but the person who sent this to me was impressed with its timing. Let us see if it is true.

ANGELS EXIST, but sometimes, since they don't all have wings we call them FRIENDS, SUCH AS YOU.

Pass this on to your true friends. SOMETHING GOOD WLL HAPPEN TO YOU
TODAY. SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR.

Thanks Katy!

The Ironic Ramblings of Me

Just a quick thought...
Have you ever thought about the ironic potential of the word mail-man? I mean really, If you walked up to an immigrant who knows very little English and talked to them about a mail-man, wouldn't they look at you funny? **Male-man, all men are males aren't they? Or maybe America is different...** Wow that word would confuse some people majorly! Yea, I just thought about this an hour or so ago and thought it was funny... I'm weird aren't I.

Celebration

HAPPY BE-LATED BIRTHDAY MATT!!!!!
Sorry I didn't get to this sooner, but Cabaret has taken up so much of my time and effort that I haven't got on the computer in FOREVER! Well I hope your birthday went well and I also hope you realise how many people actually care about you. Your not alone :)

Worst Nightmare

Last night, I had the worst nightmare of my life about my dad dying. I can't remember much of it except that he was going out to mow the lawn before it happened, I lived in a strange neighborhood, the excruciating pain I felt after it happened, and weird things happening in my bathroom (flooding). It was the ABSOLUTE WORST EVER!

What made this nightmare all the worse is that I had to go make signs for Cabaret today at school after Adjudicated Event at Perkins (band related stuff). Well anyway, one thing led to another and I had to stay after to clean and work on a sign that didn't get done. My sister decided that she would joke about walking home and went to go to one of the gyms in the school thinking I would find her singing later. Well I didn't and by the time I drove home it was dark. I was FREAKING OUT because I couldn't find her and thought she had actually walked home IN the dark. I drove home, tears rolling down my face, and crying about loosing my baby sister. My mom got in the car when I got home and we finally went back to the school where she was sitting waiting for us outside. This coincides with my nightmare because my imagination was telling me she might have gotten kidnapped and I would loose her too when in real life I hadn't lost anybody. Boy, it was scary.

So now that I've told my story, I'm just wondering, What is the absolute worst nightmare you've ever had? I really cant think of anything worse than loosing someone that close to you but it is possible yours could be just as bad.

Yea, I just had to get that out of my chest and write it down somewhere because I'm still not really over it. Some prayers and comfort would be greatly appreciated from those of you I know.

Differing Denominations

A little birdy (who, by the way hasn't updated YET) told me I should make a new post. So, lately I've been thinking about different denominations. Oh NO you might think but really, I've got a topic to get out of my mind and onto paper (well not "paper" but you know what I mean...)

This topic concerns different denominations in Christianity. All of my life this has been a BIG deal, or at least it seemed. I'm not ashamed to say that I grew up Baptist, but now that I've started to think for myself and began to plan my future with God, I keep wondering... WHAT IS THE DEAL? Just because a person is Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, etc. doesn't mean that they are drastically different, it just means that they might have different ways of worshipping. I've been referring to myself as a Methodist for some time now (My family recently switched its home church) but I realise, it really shouldn't matter. I want people to accept me FOR believing in God not HOW I worship or in what type of building. In reality, God just wants us to worship him, it doesn't matter if we recite prayers or break out the tambourines, he is STILL with us. If a person should come up to a non-believer and say that they are a Baptist, (most preconceived notions are that this specific denomination is VERY strict) then they will most likely shy away. However, if you come up to them and are truly genuine with them as a Christian, without throwing your denomination in their face, they're more likely to actually listen to what you're trying to say. Therefore, I've decided to break my image as a Baptist or a Methodist and simply be a CHRISTIAN serving God as best I can from day to day, because that is REALLY what it's all about. I hope this made sense to you all and I am open to QCC (Questions, Comments, or Concerns for those who aren't in Mr. Lucas' math class hehe).
P.S. Its supposed to warm back up to 50 ON WEDNSDAY AND ACTUALLY STAY THAT WAY FOR MORE THAN TWO DAYS!!! WHOPEE

Cabaret Announcement

So I'm feeling better and happier today (thanks to you phantom and Daniel). Wow those 2 hour delays really make my day! Unfortunatly, my cat has to go to the vet cuz she's limping... my baby's hurt! :( and my sister is sick :( but I'm managing. So I definatly promised a couple of people that I'd post stuff about Cabaret. Well, to start out with, Sylvia and I each have a solo (whopee) and a duet together! I also have another duet with one of my friends, Alyssa. This talent show/ show choir thing is being performed at my high school from March 22-25th. It is $5 per person (this is with unlimited popcorn which is a definate plus). If you want tickets just comment on this post before March 17th and I'll get you good seats, be sure to specify which day you want. It is soooo much fun to be in and is a big deal for our small school! I hope you all can come! For those who don't know where I go to school, tell me in the comment and I'll comment you back with the information.

Icky

Ugh. So tired. Someone cheer me up Please.

Editing and Overload

I'm not so great at technology (my sis helps me with that part of life) but I was pleasantly surprised that editing on this site is simple! So yea, I haven't updated in a while but busyness takes it's toll. With Cabaret, Science Olympics (tonight), two college classes, church, and friends I'm swamped. However, no worries because God is helping me slowly but surely into a time managed schedule. YES! Well that's all; I will start making longer updates when March is over.
