Like the water of a deep stream,

love is always too much.

We did not make it.

Though we drink till we burst,

we cannot have it all, or want it all.

In its abundance

it survives our thirst.

In the evening we come down to the shore

to drink our fill, and sleep,

while it flows

through the regions of the dark.

It does not hold us,

except we keep returning to its rich waters

thirsty.

We enter,willing to die,

into the common

wealth of its joy.

-Wendell Berry

merrry christmas eve!

2008-12-18T09:45:00.000-08:00

my first semester of college is finished.
wow.
it has FLOWN by.
so much has changed and happened.
life is a funny thing.

- i'm sitting here in the servant center, doing absolutely nothing.
jason and i might watch a movie later, but for now i'm blogging.
to the right of me are 3 RAs + upper classmen playin fooseball.
Mr. Naff and 2-3 various students are playin pingpong.
yesterday was a good day in the SC. you should have seen it, it was a happening place. haha!
i was sitting there, and it hit me.
i love college. i love meeting new people. i love experiencing new things.
ive learned SO much this semester.
ive learned that words have impact, good and bad.
i've learned to not judge by first impressions.
ive learned that i can change.
i can let down my walls and let someone in.
let someone i am begginning to care about in.
in me.
to get me, to know me.

its a scary risk-- but im tired of not taking risks.
lets do this.
lets do this scary thing called life and love and dreams and hopes and disappointments and heartbreaks and tears and prayer and joy.

you never know what kind of people you will meet.
someone new every day.
and those people you meet can change you and mold you.
God has a sense of humor.
He changes your plans.
He brings people into your life that challenge you and test you.
Thank God for that....

here's to another chapter of my life closed....onto Christmas break....and then next semester...
where i will as well be moved and touched.

i hate goodbyes.
i need more hellos in my life.
: )

good 'ol days...

2008-12-17T17:39:00.001-08:00

2008-12-14T08:50:00.000-08:00

Set me free, leave me be

I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity

Here I am and I stand so tall

Just the way

I'm supposed to be

And you're on to me and all over me

I live here on my knees

As I try to make you see

That you're everything

I think I need

Here on the ground

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long...

one week!

2008-12-14T08:43:00.000-08:00

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth.
26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
he is mine forever.

27 Those who desert him will perish,
for you destroy those who abandon you.
28 But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.

psalm 73:25-28

"Distance is silly; No distance can be too far a distance. Miles are just a petty number, roads just a provider of many opportunities. The oceans simply serving a purpose to float, to carry; not a threat. Barriers can’t remain standing, they are there just to occupy space."

life is changing

2008-11-26T15:21:00.000-08:00

“It is always the simple things that change our lives.

And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen.

Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so.

You feel like running, but life is on a stroll.

This is how God does things.”

-Donald Miller

is this for real?

am i changing?

is my heart breaking?

am i ready to trust someone to get inside?

i waiting for His timing.

because i know His timing is what is BEST for me.

its hard to see that now...

" LORD, You have searched me and known me."

"O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me."

-- i love this verse.

how amazing is it that we have a God that knows us better than anyone and better than we know ourselves.

i take alot of comfort in this fact alone.

God knows.

He knows the longings of my heart.

He knows the plans He has for me.

He loves me.

I am His, and He is mine.

im in love with photography.

lets go take pictures.

2 tim 1:7

2008-11-13T21:03:00.000-08:00

i suppose its time that i write a blog of substance and words, not just photos.

although in my opinion, photos create words and convey emotions better than i ever could with my meager words.

frankly, my faith has been tested here at college.

how so little {we} trust in the Almighty.

how so weak {we} are.

how so

much

we NEED

to depend on him.

i do feel a bit guilty and ashamed of how i havent given everything to him (*cough*relationships)

and i think that i shouldnt dwell on the fact that i have failed, and should know that our God is always

always

faithful and patient with his children.

oh how i am so thankful.

i have reached a point in my life where many things

are going to change && and

fast.

and im not going to like these change and discisions.

i hate making life desiciions. =/

i am 18 yrs old, yet feel so young and old.

and i know prolly alot of people say that.

old soul in young body, or whatever pplz say.

but the truth is that its scary.

ha, childish statement? yes it is.

and we are all still children at heart.

in this changing world, we can trust in Him and realize that He is

our

only

hope.

thoughts and prayers

2008-10-20T20:23:00.000-07:00

i thiink its been awhile that i have actually used words, and not photos.
ha.
what do you expect?
i usually have photos floating and drifting in and out of my mind... every day... all day....
its entertaining...

anyways. today was one of the worst mondays. ever.
i have never thought of myself of an acamdemic[sp!] person....nope, never.
but boy can i talk and relate to people!
pshhh, yeah.
so, i am reminded, no pratically slapped in the face, to
Rely on
Him
For
Everything.

easyy concept? i think not.
we need to praise God through trials and good times.
lets look.
at.

James 1:2-21

2-4Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

5-8If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You'll get his help, and won't be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves. Don't think you're going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open.

9-11When down-and-outers get a break, cheer! And when the arrogant rich are brought down to size, cheer! Prosperity is as short-lived as a wildflower, so don't ever count on it. You know that as soon as the sun rises, pouring down its scorching heat, the flower withers. Its petals wilt and, before you know it, that beautiful face is a barren stem. Well, that's a picture of the "prosperous life." At the very moment everyone is looking on in admiration, it fades away to nothing.

12Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.

13-15Don't let anyone under pressure to give in to evil say, "God is trying to trip me up." God is impervious to evil, and puts evil in no one's way. The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us. We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare-up of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant, and has a baby: sin! Sin grows up to adulthood, and becomes a real killer.

16-18So, my very dear friends, don't get thrown off course. Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light. There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing two-faced, nothing fickle. He brought us to life using the true Word, showing us off as the crown of all his creatures.

Act on What You Hear

19-21Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God's righteousness doesn't grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.

got it?
okay, good.

goodnight and God Bless.

wow! its the Endrocrine System :D

hypothalamus - brain region controling the pituitary gland.

pituitary gland - secretes many different hormones, some of which affect other glands.

thyroid gland - affects metabolism among other things.

adrenal glands - inner part, called the medulla, helps trigger the "fight" of "flight" response.

pancreas - regulates the level of sugar in the blood.

ovary - secretes female sex hormones

testis- secretes male sex hormones.

Franz Gall - bumps on the head?!
he was a german doctor!
1800s.

the ACTION POTENTIAL is brief electrical charge that travels down the AXON.
...

and what is an AXON.....it passes away messages from the cell body to the other neurons, mucsles, or glands....

a cell body is the cell's life center, like a base.
: ) haha. the dendrites recieve messages from the cells, and the neural impulse are the electrical signal traveling down the axon....

and what are axons again? its those stupid things that pass messages away from the cell body to other stuffff. like neurons, musles, or glands....

whats the fatty stuff that covers the axon and helps speed neural impules?
oh thats a myelin sheath!

yeah so thats all what....
thats an ACTION POTENTIAL.

haha, yes!

i'll be backkkk.
with more info.

" i shut up, i grow up, and when i look at your face, i throw up."

i wish i could retain knowledge better.

i hate psych.

i hate memorizing.

i suck at it.

im tired of always having homework.

"i am a vampire!"

im studying psych chapter 2

2008-09-24T11:30:00.000-07:00

The Brain:

[Limbic System]

amygdala - neural centers in the limbic system linked TO EMOTION.

hippocampus - a structure in the limbic system linked TO MEMORY.

hypothalamus - controls maintenance functions such as eating; helps govern endocrine system; linked to emotion and reward.

~~~~~ [
corpus callosum - axon fibers connecting two cerebral hemispheres.

thalalmus - relays messages between lower brain centers and cerebral cortex.

pituitary - master endocrine gland

cerebellum - coordinates voluntary movement and balance.

~~~~~ [ Brainstem ]

reticular formation - helps control arousal

medulla - controls heartbeat and breathing

spinal cord - pathway for neural fibers traveling to and from brain; controls simple reflexes.

okay, so Acetylcholine [ACH] hellps enables the muscles, memory, and learning. but if we dont have enough of it, we might get Alzheimer's....
Dopamine influences movement, learning, attention, and emotions. if you dont have enough of this neurontransmitter you might have schizophrenia. =/!!!! or tremors!! or PARKINSOnS!!!
[ haha ]

Serotonin likes to affect your mood, hunger, sleep, and arousal. haha! : ) if you dont have enough of this baby, you might get like sad or depressed.

the last one is Norepinphrine, which helps with control alertness [ does coffee have this in it???!!!], and arousal. this also can make u sad, if u have an undersupply.
='/ .
and boys and girls, these are ALL called Neurontransmitters, and can be found on page 58 .

thanks for everything.
i'll be back.
:D

the changing of the leaves, brings other changes as well.

: )

college life.

2008-09-18T10:49:00.001-07:00

these girls are part of my little world that i live here at ABC.
i just met them, and i cant be more blessed.
it amazes me how close a bond we have already made and its been only 3 weeks.
it blows my mind. God has blessed me!
they each have a different personality and qualities that i admire.
Alicia is goofy, yet caring.
Kaitlyn is completely crazy.
Rebekah is the 'mother' of the group, she brings some sense. :)
and Melonie is the quiet spirit. she's famous for her one liners that crack all of us up.

i wouldnt want any other girls to be here my first year of college.
and may we be friends til God calls us home....

im heart hurts.

2008-09-17T10:00:00.000-07:00

Lord, take away the pain.

i'm broken and upset.

i am ashamed.

giving it all

2008-09-14T21:13:00.000-07:00

God has been really working on my heart lately about giving it ALL to him.

every day.

every feeling. for ...certain someones.

my homeowork.

my words.

my actions.

everythinggg.

you know how some girls have a list of things that want in a guy....

well tonight a good guy friend of mine said the only thing he wants in a girl, is a girl who loves Christ more than she loves him.

and that just struck me! haha! like a slap in the face!

im so selfish and always focusing on the outward appearance and not looking at the heart, and seeing if its a heart for God.
well, just some random thoughts.

college is amazing.

i love it.

i thrive here.

: D

thank you lydia

"at this point it would be easy
to do what I want.
at this point,
logically,
it’s my turn.
but something holds me back.
I have a sense that
what I want is not what I need;
and it’s time to question all of this."

i want to go to

2008-09-10T10:05:00.000-07:00

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

changes.

hello.

you know what

2008-06-07T19:20:00.000-07:00

i'm completely tired of not taking chances.
life is WAY too short not to do what you want.
im scared, to be honest.
and i hate that.

i hate that i dont just go up to you and be like 'HEY, lets go do this.'
and be like i want to have conversations and i want to know what goes on in your head and what you think of everything.

i know i dont make sense half the time on this blog, but it doesnt matter.
my head is full of confusing thoughts and troubles.

somestime i NEED to vent.
im proud of all the burdens i take for others. [<--weird!] i feel that God has given me a heart for other people's hardships. yeah, so to all 2008 graduates. GO. DO it. follow those whimes and those dreams keep God first
and stay humble.

life is short.
hug the loved ones.
and kiss the new ones.

and the most important...
dont take ONE day for granted.

i love you all.

call anytime for coffeee.
you know i love to talk.
: )
