Thankful.

COLOSSIANS 2:6-7
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

I am thankful for:

God's faithful provision, especially this semester.

The opportunity to do what I love on a daily basis.

Friends who take the time to get to know me, and love me for who I am.

A family that makes me laugh, and is there for me at all times.

Students who drive me crazy yet teach me more about the LORD than I could ever teach them.

I am clearly a MAC.

A few things:
It is NEVER OK for my professor to talk about Boobs in class.

EVER.

On another note.
I watched the movie 'Spread' last night starring Ashton Kutcher and Anne Heche. It is NOT appropriate, but it does have an interesting and realistic storyline about life in LA. Always fascinating to see how people portray this city and the people in it.

[[And let's face it. Ashton is always good to look at. I wish I was 44 and named Demi]]

BUT the real purpose of this blog was to talk about how I strongly dislike the new Microsoft store. They aren't even tactful in how they are copying the Mac store...it's like a shameless similarity. How annoying. PCs are lame. No clone-store will make that untrue...



Slap a Microsoft sign on and throw in some lesser quality computers and call it the 'Microsoft Store'.

Silly.

This week in Music...EPIC

Hello All.

My week is one-hundred percent better thanks to these folks:

John Clayton Mayer. Battle Studies. Tracks to check out-
Heartbreak Warfare and Assassin. Brilliant.









Norah Jones. The Fall. Tracks to check out-
Chasing Pirates and any of the live bonus performances on the deluxe version!








One Republic. Waking Up. Tracks to check out-
Literally all of them are incredible. It's one of those albums you just need to listen to from top to bottom. You won't be wasting your time.








Weeks like these, are my favorite. Enjoy the tunes, kids.

1 down, 11 to go.

One birthday. One engagement. One epic weekend.

This weekend was definitely one to remember! 11 of my closest friends and I traveled to El Cajon in San Diego to celebrate my friend Brittney's 21st birthday at her house! We ate a TON, hung out in Old Town & downtown, ate some more, and got to hang out with Brit's incredible family (we may or may not have broken her bed and crashed into her driveway wall as well...haha). Note: 12 girls ANYWHERE is reason to take caution!

THEN, we all got to see our friend Kayla say 'yes' to her wonderful boyfriend Andrew when he popped the question on Coronado island. It was a perfect day, and it was so special to share that with her!

Hope you enjoy the pictures--it was nice to have the 'rebs' out to play...I have missed capturing moments like these :)

Andrew popping the question!

She said yes! Her ring is gold, diamond and Tanzanite...perfect for Kayla!

TRUE LOVE WAITS.

So happy together :)

Right Now.

It's hard to believe that someone better than you is waiting for me out there...

But I have to.

You Hold Me Now

This song brought me to tears, and as much as I want to explain it or something... I think I will just post it. Praise the LORD for moments where music can connect me to Him in ways I cannot even comprehend.

You Hold Me Now-Hillsong

On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace

All my fear is swept away
In the light of your embrace
When Your love is all I need
And forever I am free

Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there's a greater day
There's a hope that never fails

When Your name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I'm believing for the day

When the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name

No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness no sick or lame
No hiding You hold me now,
You hold me now

Sara says it best.

It's clear this conversation ain't' doing a thing
Cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
And i don't feel like singing tonight
All the same songs

Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I'm finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to...

BOO.

I don't listen.

Ever.

Ever.

I probably should from now on.
