three times a tear

D is awesome. i just want to say that, and make sure people understand that. :) He's gone for the month, but hopefully will pass quickly. its been a long day, but one that i'll remember for a while. i think im addicted to talking to him? is that a bad thing? hmm. well, after talking three times in one day, i think the loneliness is settling in. time to read the Good Stuff. that's all for now folks.

this is a good one.

thinking through

what to do

searching every angle

and point of view

good advice

well-rehearsed

only seems to make matters worse

when youre at a dead end

where can you go

my friend

theres an answer i know

pray

when the road is steep

pray

when your hope gets weak

know the father hears through

the silence and the tears you

pray

when you dont know how

pray

heaven's waiting now

and Jesus is just a breath away

pray

the deepest sighs

of the heart

sometimes its a struggle

when we first start

to wrap our needs

up in words

trust that somehow we will be heard

draw near

know you are loved

God hears

and His heart is touched

pray

when the road is steep

pray

when your hope gets weak

know the Father hears through

the silence and the tears

you

pray

for the strength you're needing

to go on believing

no matter what you face

you'll have the wisdom and grace

to pray

when the road is steep

pray

when your hope gets weak

know the father hears through

the silence and tears

you

pray

when you dont know how
pray
heaven's waiting now
and Jesus is just a breath away
pray

pray.

turkey's gone!

hey ya'll.

it's been years since i've written a new blog, ok, maybe not. but two months is a long time! so much has happened, so much has changed. for starters, school starts soon! graduation was awesome, and very very exciting. i'm done with high school, i'm still not sure i grasp that idea. J's wedding is two weeks and a couple days. can you believe it!?!! i am so excited, and so are they. it is going to be so much fun! tennis finished up, J (my partner) and i were ranked as first team all state doubles. thats pretty awesome! i am very excited about college tennis, but am nervous about being good enough to play on the IWU team. I went to europe for two and a half weeks, that was incredible too. God really showed me how big He is! I heard some incredible testimonies and met some really amazing people. plus, just traveling all over Austria and Italy at the end was really awesome too. hmm. let's see what else? oh yea, i guess there is the whole romance scene that has occurred in the past few weeks. God has certainly out done Himself in providing me with a prom date. can i tell you how much i love life right now? even with D gone, I am really loving just relying on God's love and comfort. Long distance relationships are no fun, but i've got to learn sometime. and learning i am. learning not to panic, not to just give up, or lose faith in the things that God has led me to enjoy. plain and simple? I'm blessed. big time.
