(Instert Creative Title Here)

Today was mixed with little surges of joy among the incessant hours I spent writing tests.

An encouraging letter from a friend.
Hugs good bye.
And an "I'm gunna miss you Jayda."

I think that no matter who the "I miss you" comes from, it's going to make you feel good.
That's what I realized today.
It just feels good to know that you make a difference in someones life enough for them to miss you.

So, now I'm ready for adventures in the far far away land of China.
All my stress has melted away.
And I am hap hap happy. =)

All I have to do now is packk...

Wake Up You Sleepy Heads, Get Out Of Bed

Wake-up little one.
The sun is shining and the day is waiting.
Take in the rays and receive the warmth.
There is a grand adventure outside your door.

Open those sweet eyes, little one.
There are sights to see and hearts to change.
Step out and wash this city clean.
The dirt has dulled their motivation.

Little one, oh little one.
How can you rest in slumber?
We need warriors to fight this battle.
You’ll never start a revolution in your sleep.

Thank you God

for fellowship.
for being able to pray in public.
for the people that are bold about their faith and how they encourage the rest of us.
for the simple beauty of a rose.
for smiles and giggles and tears.


And God,
thank you for loving someone like me.

a confession to the brokenhearted

can i fix this tonight
this whirl wind of emotion
i don't know up from down or left from right

i only know how to make a mess
and now i fear it's too late
i can feel the weight of the problem as my lungs start to compress

i should have warned you
i'm clutsy and i break the most precious things
please know i make mistakes and i really don't mean to

Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care

I'll be your Buttercup,
if you be my Wesley.

Boo Bop Shoo-Bop Wooo!

Another year older.
Another year past.
I hope this new year is as good as the last.
Another year for adventure.
Another year for fun.
Maybe I will bake cinnamon buns.
Another year for learning.
Another year for growing.
I might even become a pro at throwing.
(Like, throwing a frisbee all the way around the world. It is a possibility, since, you know, it's been done before.)
