Ahhhhh.

Today is the best day EVERRRRRR :]

Psalm 119:33-56.

Oh Psalm 119:33-56:

^33-40 God, teach me lessons for living
so I can stay the course.
Give me insight so I can do what you tell me—
my whole life one long, obedient response.
Guide me down the road of your commandments;
I love traveling this freeway!
Give me a bent for your words of wisdom,
and not for piling up loot.
Divert my eyes from toys and trinkets,
invigorate me on the pilgrim way.
Affirm your promises to me—
promises made to all who fear you.
Deflect the harsh words of my critics—
but what you say is always so good.
See how hungry I am for your counsel;
preserve my life through your righteous ways!

^41-48 Let your love, God, shape my life
with salvation, exactly as you promised;
Then I'll be able to stand up to mockery
because I trusted your Word.
Don't ever deprive me of truth, not ever—
your commandments are what I depend on.
Oh, I'll guard with my life what you've revealed to me,
guard it now, guard it ever;
And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces
as I look for your truth and your wisdom;
Then I'll tell the world what I find,
speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed.
I cherish your commandments—oh, how I love them!—
relishing every fragment of your counsel.

^49-56 Remember what you said to me, your servant—
I hang on to these words for dear life!
These words hold me up in bad times;
yes, your promises rejuvenate me.
The insolent ridicule me without mercy,
but I don't budge from your revelation.
I watch for your ancient landmark words,
and know I'm on the right track.
But when I see the wicked ignore your directions,
I'm beside myself with anger.
I set your instructions to music
and sing them as I walk this pilgrim way.
I meditate on your name all night, God,
treasuring your revelation, O God.
Still, I walk through a rain of derision
because I live by your Word and counsel.

This has been my prayer for the last couple of weeks. Just for God to guide me. To completely submit to Him, and allow Him to lead my life. For Him to give me some guidance as to where He wants me for this upcoming summer. I have really been praying about returning to El Salvador as an intern for two months. I just want an affirmation. I feel like my life is to chaotic to hear from Him. Why can't everything just slow down....

Is It Really November 1st?

According to my calendar it is. I can't get over how quickly October went by. I only have a month to do all my finals. Heckk yes!!!! I am so ready to be done with this semester. But it's going to take some serious all-nighters and a little neglecting towards my friends to get them done! But I am trying to stay positive.

And I spent the weekend in Houma, with my Jessie Ray. Words can't even begin to describe how incredible thankful I am for him. God has truly blessed me beyond all expectations.

Anyways I'm tired, and that's all for now.

Peace, Love, & God. Always.

:]

It's 4:09AM.

Is this what my life consists of now. Staying up all night to do homework. I'm really not sure how much more of this my body can handle. I have no idea how I will make it through the day tomorrow. Patiently and deliriously I guess. I thought I was going to be able to sleep well tonight. Hmph. Guess that was a fake. Ohh the joys of being a college student that takes on too heavy of a load.

On the brightside. I am no longer a red head. I am an official brunette, I've decided I've had enough red. it fades to fast and just annoys me. So brown it is. Boring, I know. Oh well. And also, Allison is going to make sure I don't dye my hair for a good several months. It needs a good break.

I think that's all I really have for right now. I will blog about lifegroup tonight when I am not so delirious.

Back to the homework.

Byeee for now. :]

Alice in Wonderland

Here are some of the photos from my Alice in Wonderland shoot :]

That's all for now.

Peace && Love.

Another Plain Monday.

All I can do is breathe. I skipped my photography class, because I didn't have anything to work on. So I came to work at eight, and decided I was going to stay until my painting class, which is at one. But I'm not feeling to swell right now. My stomach is causing issues. I'm not exactly sure what's up with it. Hmph.

So here I am still at work. Blogging. Hah. Story of my life, trying to entertain myself while at work. I seriously have so much to do, that I don't even know where to start. Maybe getting off of Facebook was a good idea. Social networking is an excuse for me to stalk people in a non-creepy way, but since I am off I can manage my time right. Or at least I'm trying too. Praise the Lord that there are only 47 more days until December 10th. I am super stoked about that, but that means I have a ton of stuff due very soon. Pft. School is ridiculous.

Anyways I'm done with this mini freak out blog. Oh and I just wanted to thank God for blessing me with another beautiful Monday. :]

teach me to do your will for you are my God; may your good spirit lead me on level ground. Psalm 143:10.

Peace && Love.

An Unproductive Sunday.

It is currently 5:37, and I haven't done much of anything today. I should've worked on my drawing sketchbook, or idea book, as Steve calls it. I just don't have any motivation. I slept until almost 11, so I really haven't been up for too long today. I went to church last night, so I wouldn't have to get dressed this morning.

I was a little more productive yesterday than I was today. I at least got outside and took some pictures, but that is besides the point.

I did finally type my notes for Steve's class so I can finally print them out for him, but I thing they are in the wrong format. But as of right now, I'm not really sure that I care. I do actually need to start making note cards for my art history test on Thursday. I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for it. There is a lot of information on it, that I just don"t feel like memorizing. Hah, sounds just like a bunch of laziness.

Anyways, these are just a few of the pictures I took yesterday:

And it has taken an hour for me to do this blog. I will be posting another one soon.

Before I go, I was looking for Mark 8:36, but I accidently looked up Mark 9:35. This is what it says: "Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."

and here is what Mark 8:35 says: What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?

Mark 9:35 is what God dealt with me over this past summer while working at Kids Across America. Letting God be first, others be second, and myself be third. It really has been on my heart lately. And Mark 8:35, why would anyone want to gain the entire world, and lose his soul. Gaining the whole world may make you happy for a while, but eventually, you get tired of the same thing everyday. Just throwing that out there. That's all for now.

Peace && Love.
