"well, hes pretty special himself."

the other day at the hospital, we passed Britt's old room.
It was crazy, we were walking past her room with her.
It was so evident to me God's faithfulness and grace. I remember sitting in there, room 612 thinking," i know someday she'll be okay. but that seems so far away. "
and then she was in there, standing perfect on her feet, her legs fine, and her burns almost completely gone.
crazy.
and remembering being in a hospital bed, with an IV hooked up to my hand, and water pumping into my body.and not being able to keep anything down.
and God was there , and with Britt, and hes been with mom. ALWAYS faithful, showing me how little faith i have at times. I try to take care of things myself, when all i need to do is trust Him, because He has it all in His hands, all together.

Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, and your faithfulness to the clouds._ Psalm 36.5

not enough quotes but it would take forever to type.

no to you, but yes to you on the left.

As a deer pants for flowing streams,
so pants my soul for you, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food
day and night,
while they say to me all the day long,
“Where is your God?”
4 These things I remember,
as I pour out my soul:
how I would go with the throng
and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
a multitude keeping festival.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my salvation 6 and my God.

Yesterday, in the O'Leary's pool, I was Ming-Ming the wonderpet and i saved, along with my colleague Tuck a baby crane and a baby dolphin. Mr. Swordfish also assisted us.
I was also Van Gogh, who created a masterpeice along with a small companion who had a habit of getting paint on my face,and on the silk seat cushions. Thankfully, our paint was washable.
I went home with cholorine in my hair paint on my face, and sunscreen smell.

Today I was Prunella or Tonto and i was the Lone Ranger's companion, who had lazer JFK sunglasses. The Lone Ranger and I ventured across the desert to get to CIRCLE K RANCH. It took two days, and we had to stop at the General Store a few times for mini vanilla wafers and milk.
My horse's name was Frederick.

the picture is what als's room looked like the day before we left.
scary, and a lack of other photos.

now dont say that

okay,so today i am getting ready in my room and turn on the radio.
and an advertisement comes on.
" GET READY FOR THE ROCK AND ROLL MARIACHI FESTIVAL! MUSIC, FOOD, AND RIDES. THATS RIGHT THE ROCK AND ROLL MARIACHI FESTIVAL!"
yeah....

i still dont know whether it horrifies me, or amuses me. i think its a combination of both.
horrifingly amusing.

only in el paso.

thats MEIN pop

Proverbs 31_30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

this is what i want to be.

you walk funny.

im in texas again.
its good to be back, and to see my family, lauren came with mom and the girls to pick me up, and it was great to see all their sweet faces.

i cannot believe how blessed i am. i just got back from an amazing trip to see those stellar people the sczebels, and i came here to see my family, my church, my friends.
God has blessed me with the most faithful people surrounding me. Friends and family who are honest with me, and who will bring correction and encouragement. The kind that tell you that your outfit that day is hideous and it looks like i just got out of bed, but that can also bring evidences of grace to you.I've done nothing todeserve these blessings, and the incredible blessing of salvation.
God is so good. Even when things arent going exactly the way i want them to, He is so good. And im off so much better than i deserve.
It just blows my head. Im here, a sinner who deserves to burn in hell forever, and I'm saved from that. He saved me, and im going to spend eternity worshipping Him, and ill never leave.

I cant thank God enough.

And i just want to say thank you to my friends. You are great, and a huge blessing in my life.
I cant wait to see everyone here, and read books with lisps.
And Als, Josh, Joe, Kara, Tina, Seaniqua, Jess.love you. I miss you all a ton. Thanks for the memories.
Smile.

HOLLER.
