thirteen questions bj wants me to answer....

1. When you see a dead thing in the road, do you try to see what kind of animal it was? are you joking?? of course! my head is almost out the windown (not really) but that's the fun of being on the road. yes- it is sick bj.

2. When you go into a store, do you go straight to the sales racks, or do you look around the store first? Personally I don't like shopping that much. When I go into a store I look for what I need, get it and go. If that something just happens to be spotted on a sales rack than yes.

3. Are you susceptible to a sales pitch? no- I can't stand when those people are right in your personal bubble. "get away from me!"

4. What is the number one thing you want for Christmas? A camera.

5. If you HAD to choose one, would you skydive or bungee jump? Definitely Skydive! I've always wanted to do it. I tell my Dad if we were on amazing race, me and him, I would skydrive out that plane in a heartbeat.

6. Where were you the last time you sneezed? And did anyone say "God bless you"? I was in the kitchen washing dishes at home by myself. No- the voice didn't say anything.

7. When you brush your teeth, do you also brush your tongue? Uh...YES. I must ask, who doesn't? that's like a major dental crime. But han again that's one of my OCD things- my teeth.

8. How much personal space do you require? 4 feet is a little much. It does depend on where I am also. I prefer for their to be a reasonable amount of space if possible. I don't like to feel like someone is about to knock me over.

9. Which do you prefer, silver or gold? Silver. I hate gold. gold is, I don't know, I just don't like it. Kandi can where gold- I can't.

10. Do you like reality tv? reality tv isn't reality. (but like Bj, the only show I like is American Idol.)

11. Do you like the old Willy Wonka movie or the new Willy Wonka movie better (you can insert your own movie-with-a-remake if you want)? The old one. It's funny b/c I was just talking to someone about this in 3rd hour. The new one just makes me feel weird and yes, the daddy issues bother me.

12. What is your favorite movie that you're sure no one else likes? I can't pick just one. I do like Spy Game, minus the language.

13. What is your favorite typeface? Arial- at least for now.

The Prestige

OK- I absolutly loved this movie. At first I didn't think I would like it but it was great. I can't wait to take some one else to see it just so I can watch them figure it out.

yes i'm still alive...

I know, I know. It's been over a week since I've updated- oh well. There simply just hasn't been time. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth all though at one point last week wished I had. Ask anyone who has had the chance to see me. School has been freakishly busy. First 16 reports and then a 256 punnentt and product rule post with 81 different penotypes and 27 different genotypes, plus the 6 tests a week. Tonight was the first night that I got to spend time and talk to my best friends in forever. It was kind of awkward for the first 5 minutes but then in slid right into stupidly funny mode. I miss every one. I know I haven't gone out when everyone else has and I've wanted to. It's just hard sometimes between not seeing my dad till the weekends and I've been sick. I do miss you all and hope things will slow down. We have to have a game night this week. I need my fix.
So what is this 13 Thursday thing???? I need something that will remind me to update this. By the way holly- are you done at the hospital yet?? You've had the 5 day thing up for 10 days??? I need to know if you're done. Finished..... Well I must go because I want to go do something else.

ezekiel 20:33-38

This is a reference to the passage from Hosea:

Eze 20:33 As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you:
Eze 20:34 and I will bring you out from the peoples, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out;
Eze 20:35 and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there will I enter into judgment with you face to face.
Eze 20:36 Like as I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I enter into judgment with you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Eze 20:37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;
Eze 20:38 and I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me; I will bring them forth out of the land where they sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

something to say...

I read what Bj posted friday like 2 minutes ago and felt like sitting down on my floor in my room in the fettle position and crying my eyes out. I have also come to this point of not knowing what to do. I've found my self in this place of emptiness trying to grasp for the one thing that can fix me. The one thing that will jolt me out of this complacency I've been in. I was praying today and truly just letting God hear my heart for the first time in a long time. I think I've been afraid of actually doing that because I've been scared of what He might say. While I was praying I saw this circle. I was inside this circle, moving, moving "toward" something, only to find myself right back in the same place where I started not being able to make any progress. It was like I was just revolving around and around and as soon as I realized that I just kept going around I gave up. I was ok with it. That is how it's been- I've found myself not caring really about moving forward- like I've forgotten, and even tried to justify it. I know that I can't do it on my own- I can't change by myself- it has to be Him. But the want for that to happen hasn't been there. Like I said, there has been such a complacency and I don't know what to do anymore, I can't fix it. I have been going around and around and now I wonder if I will have to do this forever?
In the midst of this circle I said (it sounds strange an very immature but I don't care) I asked if He would take the biggest pair of sissors and cut that cord. I saw Him do it and as soon as it was cut it extended out in a straight line and I was progressing, moving toward, Him, To my first love.
It funny because my favorite scripture describes this so beautifully. It's in hosea, hosea 2:10. I don't understand how something like this can be so beautiful. It was like Jesus was saying this to me- straight to me.

10"Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of my hand.
11 I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
12 I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said,'These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,' and the animals of the field shall eat them.
13 I will visit on her the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense, when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me," says Yahweh.

14"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her.

15 I will give her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will respond there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16 It will be in that day," says Yahweh, "that you will call me'my husband,' and no longer call me'my master.'

17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no longer be mentioned by name.

18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.

19 I will betroth you to me forever. Yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, in justice, in loving kindness, and in compassion.

20 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness; and you shall know Yahweh.

21 It will happen in that day, I will respond," says Yahweh, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;

22 and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil; and they will respond to Jezreel.

23 I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; and I will tell those who were not my people,'You are my people;' and they will say,'My God!"

what to say...

I haven't posted anything of importance in a while- I know that's strange for me. To be honest, I don't really know what to say. It seems like there's a gap in what God's doing and me putting it into words. I think that haven't been pressing in as much as I should be too. There has been so much going on that isn't even worth repeating. I miss everyone so much and Sunday was refreshing but also depressing because it showed me just how much I don't get to fellowship with all these people I love so much. Besides Jesus, You all are my life, a part of me, because you are all apart of the body of Christ. I must tell you though- God is really working on my Aunt. She drove home Sunday by herself and called my mom crying, no gut-sobbing. She said that it felt like everyone who testified and when Bro. Teryl started to speak it was like it was only her and that person in the room. My mom really got to talk to her and she was open to what she had to say. She wanted Nan & Teryl's phone number and said she's going to call them this week- God is so faithful! This is really an answer to prayer. The only thing we prayed was that she would hear the truth and she did. She went from not wanting to talk to my mother or any of her friends to wanting "the pastors" phone number. funny. she said that she knew God had been talking to her, she just hadn't been listening. Anyway... that just goes to show how faithful God is and how much true relationship with one another affects other people.
