HEBREWS 12:1

THEREFORE, SINCE WE ARE SURROUNDED BY SUCH A GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES, LET US THROW OFF EVERYTHING THAT HINDERS AND THE SIN THAT SO EASILY ENTANGLES, AND LET US RUN WITH PERSEVERANCE THE RACE MARKED OUT FOR US.

The Essence of Survival

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must run faster today than the fastest lion, or it will be killed.

Every morning in Africa a lion wakes up. It knows that it must run faster today than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

BRRAAAPPP!!!!

Happy New Years!

Every year when New Years rolls around, that inevitable question comes up:

What is your New Years resolution?

What makes a good resolution? Something that you can actually stick with all year, no problem? Or something that will really test your inner strength?

I’m not sure what would make a good resolution for me…maybe I’ll swear off boyfriends for 365 days. Or chocolate, wait: who am I kidding? I couldn’t make it 3 days without chocolate, let alone three HUNDRED and sixty five days haha. Hmmm, maybe I’ll never sleep in past 9 AM. Or never complain when mom gives me chores…(that wont happen either :/ haha) There’s nothing major in my life that needs to be changed right now so it looks like I’m pretty golden as far as resolutions go. How about this:

I will play whatever games the kids I baby sit for want to play with as much gusto as I can manage.

Alright that’s a good one :) I’m all good now. Don’t forget to make yours!!

This past weekend I got protested in my race. Yup, thats right. A buncha parents decided to protest a poor little girl who was out with the boys and getting lapped. why? because i have a big wheel on my bike. who stinkin cares?!?!?!?! So Deah went up and had them add a womans class to go out at the same time as the boys and therefore i gotta 1st place trophy. stupid boys. haha. they can protest me whenever they want ;) but yeah then it started snowing. getting home sure was fun...it was dumping snow in orting, it looked SO pretty. not so warm tho, it was 15 degrees this morning an hasnt warmed up much. i'm just stayin inside and wearing my nice warm sweats :D

Today-we went to Costco but we went in the morning so there was none of those samples I used to love when I was little put out…okay I admit it, I still like those little samples…haha. But ya there was none so my mommy got me a churro haha. It was still warm and doughy and delicious in all of its sugary goodness! Haha now I am working on English :( lame-I know.

sometimes i wonder about this guy......


^so this is matt. matt thinks that the caveman style has come back in style. i promptly informed him that, no, it has not.

he then proceeded to shave off his caveman beard:

^so here in exhibit B, we see that matt thinks that the "goatee fad" has come back in style... again, i promptly informed him that, NO, it has not.

so then, AGAIN, he proceeded to shave:


^here we have exhibit C in which matt looks like a normal person again. yay matt! lets hope he doesnt think of any more outrageous styles to test out in the near future...

September 15, 2008

what am i gonna do???

so lately there has only been one thing on my mind:

What am I going to do with my life??

That is like the universal question and I am not having an easy time coming up with options.
I mean what are my strengths?
-I love working with little kids and am very good at interacting with them
-I'm good at math, reading, writing, spelling, typing...
-I'm good at writing persuasive papers
-I am good at arguing my case and winning
-I like being in charge and I can think on my feet

I am good at a lot of stuff but I know that I should probably pick one general area of interests and direct all of my focus at it. The problem is: what would I want to be doing for x number of years in my life that would make me happy and successful? I just have no clue. Like i am to the point where I am losing sleep over this whole thing. It's stressful. Ugh. haha. Like how do you figure that kind of thing out?? I am the type of person who wants to make a plan and stick to it. In order to make this plan, though, I am gonna need to figure out what to center the plan around... HELP!! yes this means you mom. i need more than your suggestions in the car the other day! I hate not knowing what I'll be doing 2,3,4 years from now.

This is my favorite room in my house. It's the office, obviously. lol. its all modern an cool lookin. idk i just wanted to say that i guess haha...

June 10, 2008

she's a genius...not! :)

school is done for the year! i finished it last friday. i am so happy about that too because it gives me so much more sleep time!! well, except this morning charlie woke me up at 6 and she just sat there at my bedroom door going: meow meow meow meow......on and on and on and on, until i finally got up filled her food bowl. as soon as i got all snuggled back into my bed, "meow meow meow meow..." so again, i got up. this time i filled her water bowl. that seemed to make her happy so back into my bed i went. ugh five minutes later: meow meow meow... so i went an let her outta my room, than i got into bed again. then i hear my mom yelling, "Cat!" ugh so i got up, grabbed charlie and went back to bed. again: meow meow...i got up and looked at her food an water dishes, she had spilt a bunch of her food into the water bowl an the pieces had gotten all bloated an nasty. she looked up at me like: "ha, you really expect me to drink that crap?!" so i went an cleaned out the bowl, got her fresh water, grabbed my blankets, went an climbed into my mom's bed and closed my eyes. after about five minutes, i realized that i wasnt even tired anymore. geez. so there went my day to sleep in. stupid cat.

hmmm. so after the whole "meow episode" i decided i wanted pancakes for breakfast. ya that didnt turn out so well. I basically burned all of them to the point where they werent even edible anymore...cereal seemed the much safer route to go. i should have realized that before i attempted the pancakes.

so far today, that is all of the drama that has occured but if i do anything else stupid, i'll be sure to keep ya updated :)

June 6, 2008

New Fave Song!

Say It Again
By Marie Digby

the thing about love
is i never saw it coming

it kind of crept up

and took me by surprise
and now there's a voice inside my heart

its got me wondering

is it true..? I wanna hear it one more time

move in a little closer

take it to a whisper

just a little louder...

Say it Again for me

cause i love the way it feels

when you are telling me that i'm
the only one who blows your mind

say it again for me

it's like the whole world stops to listen

when you tell me you're in love...

say it again


the thing about you is you know just how to get me

you talk about us
like there's no end in sight

the thing about me

is that i really wanna let you
open that door and walk into my life
move in a little closer
take it to a whisper
just a little louder..
Say it Again for me
cause i love the way it feels
when you are telling me that i'm
the only one who blows your mind
say it again for me
it's like the whole world stops to listen
when you tell me you're in love..
and it feels like
it's the first time
that anybody's ever brought
the sun without the rain
never in my whole life
have i heard words
as beautiful as when you say my name.

say it again for me
cause i love the way it feels
when you are telling me that i'm
that only one who blows your mind
say it again for me

cali

ok i have a few min so i'll write bout california. it was a super duper long drive like over 12 hours. :P it took forever! an then it was cloudy an rainy the whole time we were there while it was sunny back here at home. not fair! lol. there was a lot of fast guys racing...a lot of fast girls too! which was cool to watch. umm when we first got to the track an went into the trailer there had been an accident! matt just got a new gearbag thats white and green and he had his other bag with all his clothes in it on the floor too, but on the way down, a cabinet opened up and a jar of spaghetti sauce fell out, broke open, and covered everything! but mostly, just matts stuff. i have never seen him so mad. he just got super quiet and had an extremely hostile look on his face. so we left him alone for awhile...haha but i had to scrub sauce off the door, the walls, the fridge, scoop it outta the heater grate. ugh it was so gross. an than after all that was done, we used the last of the sauce an had spaghetti for dinner. haha. lets see, i also almost blew up the trailer cuz i was makin beans for dinner and was holdin the handle of the pot with a paper towel...smart move, NOT. the corner lit on fire but at first i didnt notice cuz i was watchin my dad but than i felt it! i dropped the paper towel on the floor and thankfully, stamped it all out. but i melted part of my flip flop in the process...ahaha. im such a moron. o well. i cant remember anything else to amusing but we got home tuesday about one in the afternoon an were leavin again tonight for a race in spokane. fun stuff. lol o i just remembered something else! on the way to cali we stopped to sleep in the middle of night and guess where we slept: WALMART! ugh we are now officially the weirdos who sleep at walmart. jk jk it was funny tho cuz there were a lot of trailers parked there so i guess at least we werent the only ones. :) okay well i gtg help load the trailer. Adios.

This is some of the damage done by the spaghetti sauce. haha. Try Geeross much!!!

These are a bunch of poems I have written during various times in my life...
All Without Words

Walking away
Glancing back
Somber faces
Eyes like glass

Glancing back
A glint
A tear
Rolling down a cheek
Frozen in time
No words to speak
Emotions mixed
Confusion rings

Glancing back
Tender lips
A fake smile
Take no comfort
A long while
Till this will pass

Glancing back
Pained expressions
Joy lacks

Glancing back
The eyes
That used to smile
Say goodbye
Silence.

I Don't Know

When I'm alone
I feel cold
Like I'm struggling to breathe

All by myself
Like a story
With no happy ending

I feel weak
At the knees
Like I'm falling towards the ground

It's like I'm lost
In a maze
And I can't find my way out

I'm tired, scared and reckless
And I don't know what to do
I'm fighting with myself
Should I keep running after you

I felt safe
In your arms
Now I'm not sure where to go

I could go right
I could go left
But right now I'm too confused

You said for sure
That you would stay
But now you've gone away

And here I sit
Wondering
What am I supposed to do

I'm lonely, sad and restless
And I don't know what to do
I'm fighting with myself
Should I keep running after you

-james

How Do You Know?

How do you know?

You know when merely the thought of him brings you joy.

When even the smallest glimpse of him quickens your heartbeat.

When he takes your breath away with a single smile.

When he holds you in his arms and all of your words are lost.

When you can look into each others eyes and say I love you without ever parting your lips.

You know when you no longer ask yourself, "Is this it?"

-james

Him

The hair that I run my fingers through

The eyes that stare into mine

The ears that listen to all I have to say

The lips that kiss mine

The arms that hold me tight

The fingers that intertwine with mine

The legs with which he stands tall

The feet that support him

From head to toe

He is perfect

-james

Do You Know?

Is it love
You ask yourself
How do you know
How should it feel

I think love
Should feel breathless
Amazing and complete

What is love
We always wonder
Will I know
Will I be sure

I'm sure love
Will feel certain
And you'll never have a doubt

I think of it as wonderful
Like in a splendid dream
Never pressured, always patient
As in fairytales it seems

So when you ask if it is love or not
Only ask yourself
Because to each and every person
A different answers found

-james
Silent Knowing

Together they share,
Unknown to others,
A smile, a touch, a private stare.

Lost are they,
In a world all their own,
Treasuring silence,
Yet a million words to say.

Words linger unsaid,
And float through their minds,
Fingers intertwine,
Thoughts of all else dead.

Their smiles they show,
Their feelings they express,
Their words are left silent,
Because in their hearts they know.

-james
Hiding

Hidden is she,
The one you never see.
Empty and lonely,
Hidden deep beneath the sea.

Sea of faces,
Sea of tears,
Sea of places,
Sea of fears.

She hides herself from us you see,
Because she never learned to be.
Learned to be free,
And spread her wings,
Open herself,
For us to see.

She never wanted us to know,
The depth she truly held.
She never wanted us too near,
For fear of love itself.

She shut us out and kept her in,
So that we'd never know,
That she was scared of what we'd think,
When she let her true self show.

-james
Laughter, Joy and Love

Walking all alone,
Shadows flicker,
Footsteps groan,
He approaches,
Secret smiles exchanged,
Lost feelings renewed,
Laughter, Joy and Love.
First, Laughter
Ringing clear and true.
Next Joy,
Filling the hearts of many.
Then Love,
Lingering like a morning fog,
Dampening some,
While enlightening others.
Laughter, Joy and Love.
