Random Thoughts
Tonight is the youth all nighter at Buck Run. (It will be AWESOME!) I was unable to rest up after work, so I drove to Starbucks to prepare myself. One grande Cinnamon Dolce Latte later, I am over hyped. So, I thought I'd unleash some of these hyperly random thoughts on the world before I get a shower and head out. (Btw, for anyone who reads this before, or during, the 3:30 a.m. hour {KY time} that's when the youth minister will be presenting the gospel. Pray your hearts out that seeds will be planted...or harvested.)
1. It occured to me today that, like money, music is amoral. And musical "genres" annoy me.
2. I was going to upload more South Africa pics to my Facebook, but I don't have the patience to sit still and watch the computer...so I'll do that later. And I don't want to think about my African friends right now. I read this article on the BBC News site today and I find it disturbing. No wonder they don't seem to be taking HIV/AIDS very seriously. I also didn't know that South Africa has the highest HIV/AIDS population. Thoughts on this later...
3. I talked to the mortgage company today and the short sale is still a go...so I should be moving in a few weeks. That's better than this weekend, on no sleep, like I originally thought.
Anyone want to buy my stuff??!!??
4. So in a few weeks, I'll have a room mate. That should be interesting.
5. I like Cinnamon Dolce Lattes because of the cinnamon. I don't usually like coffee, but the cinnamon gives it an extra sneaky tingly punch that I like. Actually, I think that's the same reason that I like Cinnamon ice cream (best ever can be found at Shelbyvill's Pie Kitchen). It's cold but warm and tingly, too.
6. I'm really looking forward to seeing Fireproof . I'll have to go to Lexington or Louisville, tho. I'm thinking I might go on Tuesday. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep if I go see it tomorrow.
7. God took care of some more small things today. More on that later...

The Pride of Life and Swings
Yesterday was the type of day where God just continually reminds me of His grace, presence and all around awesomeness. It wasn't my typical Sunday; I overslept for my church's early service and decided to try and make Hope's late service as promised. After enjoying some wonderful worship; I settled in to take sermon notes. (You can find the sermon here.)
Wow. Talk about getting a message from God and putting some things into perspective!! A few key points really jumped out at me. And I am guilty.
1. I am my own resource; I don't need help from others (yeah, it turns out all this time thinking that I'm just independent was code for full of pride). I see those who are dependent as weak. (Why!!??!!!)
2. Where are my prejudices?
And; that people only belong in one of two categories. Someone who is with Christ or someone who Christ has died for. (Amen!!)
And then comes an even cooler example of God's greatness. Laminin. If you've listened to the sermon, I suspect that you can hear what the pastor is referring to (I could be wrong). Anyway, it's much cooler when you see it for yourself; so watch this video, please...
And I am blown away, because three or four days ago, a friend forwarded an e-mail to me about laminin and I was very frustrated by it because I could not find a picture of laminin anywhere.
A cool God thing, and all in God's perfect timing!!
And then I go with my friend's church (Hope) to visit students at the Stewart Home. I'm out of my comfort zone. I'm around people I don't know very well and students with needs that I'm not accustomed to dealing with. I'm excited and the music is great and everyone is having fun. I'm sitting on the bleachers and while all this rockin' praise music is playing, a group of people start dancing in front of the stage. I want to dance with them, but what will my friend think? (crazy, right?) And then she decides to dance, I hesitate and the band begins to play Open Skies. It won't make much sense to you now, but all I could think was we're all held together by laminin; and it's as if our bodies reflect praise for the Creator whether we accept Him or not. And that being childlike is awesome; so I joined the dancing crowd and was at peace and joyful. I let the pride drop and it was the best part of my day; holding hands and dancing with a girl named Wendy. Receiving hugs as if they were from God Himself. Being serenaded (Happy Birthday) by one student.
It seemed like I got a glimpse of heaven. I really doubt that we'll all be sitting in nice little rows singing somber hallelujahs or only walking streets of gold next to people in our comfort zone. At least I hope not. I hope we'll be praising God in a big ol' mosh pit; happy and having the time of our (after) lives.
Afterwards some of us went to the park. I love the swings; always have, always will. So after I ate, I hit the swings. And life was good. I got to be "childlike" and not think about work or where else I should be or what I should be doing. I was just me. Enjoying the day and the fellowship of those around me. And it was awesome.

Tag! You're It!
Tag I'm IT! Here's how you play: Once you've been 'tagged,' you have to write a blog of 10 weird/random facts/habits/goals about yourself. At the end choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. Don't forget to leave them a comment (You're IT!) and tell them to read your blog. You can't tag the person who tagged you, since you can't tag me back - let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers...
1. I am a child of God; all that I am is because He is. I want to be the woman that he intended for me to be.
2. I want to drive/ride in a stock car (NASCAR).
3. I want to see the ocean and walk on a beach.
4. I want to write a book. Not just any old commercial stuff; a good one with some substance.
5. I want to make a living by writing and/or helping families, by counseling, etc.
6. I would like to be somebody's mother one day. Adoption would be fine, too.
7. I want to go to a foreign country on a mission trip.
8. I'm sick of working for the man, it makes me feel like a sell out and it is mind numbing work. I miss writing, painting, drawing, quilting....being creative in general! I was/am good at it..
9. I can no longer stand negativity and arguments/fighting over stupid stuff. I can no longer stand screaming/yelling or putting the importance of "being right" over the importance of the relationship w/ that person. It makes my stomach hurt. In fact, people who think that their opinion is the only "right" way and everyone should agree with them are tops on my pet peeves list. (I can say that because I used to be that way!)
10. I would like to be more cheerful, or look more cheerful. People are always saying I look angry when I'm not; I'm just minding my own business.
