| 6 months since I've been on this....very sad...though I can definetely say I've been quite busy!!  When I think of it, I have no clue how I ever got through all those single years of mine....so DULL compared to this! I'm pathetic, I KNOW IT. (And all that teenage drama-- Ick! I do not miss it) Marraige is wonderful my friends, WONDERFUL! But being married to the most incredible man alive--my best friend/soul mate/amour vrai/knight in shining armour-- it has and always will have no equal! Being one spiritually, mentally, grammatically, metaphysically.... hehehe....sorry, I couldn't resist..  ..."Ahhhh, life is good and I have Jesus to thank for that!!!!" And to think! About 3 years ago, I thought I was in love with someone. HAHA!...(sorry) This person was a "christian"...mad about me *rolls eyes in self mockery*...everything I wanted and thought I needed. Now, I clearly see I never knew what being loved was..if that is what I thought love to be. Something shallow and cheap, founded on emotion and words. A person can say they are something, heck, they can say anything!! But it is what we do that defines us. Jesus Christ has to be the center foundation of all we do, all we are.... and we can't be unequally yoked. I'll even go as far as to say that even with fellow christians, you have to be careful. If you have peace in your heart, your parents have peace and everything just ...comes together in the right time! That is God. He works like that. You won't have to fight and fight and fight to make things happen....He wants to bless us. Anyways, it was a horrible experience. One I would not wish on anyone. But then God brought William into my life. Gentle, unassuming William who won his way right into the heart of my heart.  I LOVE HIM!
William, thank you for being SOOO wonderful!!!!!!!! MUAH!! ___________________________________________________ So, today.. I've been getting myself ready for the upcoming Torpedo Factory art jury. Oh my gosh, its in 4 days, peoples! I'm a--little nervous. If I get in (pretty narrow chance) means I may get studio space there! WHoo hoo! Very siked about that! http://www.torpedofactory.org/jury/index.htm A little while ago, Kelly Sauer helped get me started with my new webpage! I knew nadda about web stuff so I've been pourin all over HTML books and the like ....Me poor eyes!!  <---That's what I look like at the end of the day. LOL. www.LeDessinStudio.blogspot.com Let's see...what else?? Oh yeah, Will and I just finished reading Quo Vadis together! Its an A+ + + + + book--a must read! Though Jordan things other wise...pshaw! Love you all! I'll post again soon~ | | |

Psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.Therefore, we shall not fear, though the earth give way and mountains fall into the heart of the sea.
Though the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
There is a river, who’s stream’s make glad, the city of God, the holy place where the most high dwells.
God is within her.
She will not fall.
God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar.
Kingdoms fall.
He lifts His voice; the earth melts.
The Lord Almighty is with us.
The God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come and see the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow. He shatters the spears. He burns the shields with fire.
Be still and know that I am God.
I will be exalted in the nations.
I will be exalted in the earth.
The Lord almighty is with us.
The God of Jacob is our fortress.

God is, just-- is! For me, thats a comforting thought. That though each and every darn moment we fill up, SOMETHING can and is and always will-- be. And what He ''is'' is perfect. And that perfect "is"happens to have eyes only for ..us. I memorized this back in 3nd grade, when I attended p****c school (filtered for my buddies at HSLDA..jk). And it just got my attention how unlike alot of Psalms this one is. This one seems to just sream out, I am, I am, I am. Shush your mouth, stop tryng to be smart an listen!... | | |

How often we fail to notice time running silently past us with a strong wind beneath its wings-carrying away our moments, the bad and the good, hours, days, weeks, seasons. This never ending cycle, bringing us ever closer to the day we will stand with our Father in heaven.
I'm feeling a little of that right now! In a bit of a whirl wind.. *bites lip, blink blink* Today is exactly 7 weeks since the day Will and I promised ourselves, our lives to each other and just 5 weeks and 4 days until that promise is made a vow before God. We even have our registries all done! That was so funny to see Will do! He had a blast.

I'm...ecstatic, thrilled, elated, in seventh heaven-- 3rd floor!! Is there a third floor in heaven? Wait, are there really 7 heavens?? I never knew that… Huh, weird…
SO, Will, me leetle smoochie and I are nutsy- utterly nutsy. Ok, I know this may sound weird but he had this fabulous French cologne called Hyssop by L'Occitane Paris. Now that he's out, they decide to stop making it. Smart, I KNOW.
*thinks think*
*eyes twinkle*
*evil evil evil!*
The first thought that crossed my mind was, "Hmmm, what I hate most in life is a nag… *grin* So I'm sure---they will too." Key word, will. ;)
I'm writing the company everyday, whining, whining, whining. It's a load of fun! It relieves stress, gives you someone to talk to who won’t mess up and say the wrong thing. Heck—they won’t say a thing at all!! IT’S GREAT!!
See this link if you're lame—er, love fun! Yeah, fuuuun ;)

So friends, today’s the day!! Join with me in this very special… crusade thing.
Please copy and paste in the following complaint letter:
Dear who ever is reading this electronic mail letter,
After much consideration, our board of brilliance has nominated you from your staff to represent the silly English knigget that we know you are. You are not French at all. No, no you’re not! Stop lying to your self and to that silly country who’s name originated from mustard! *gasp* In my opinion, that’s a little too much. I mean, get a tee-shirt if you like a product or try ketchup! But honestly… one should have limits. And speaking of limits, I have limited memory space, as I recall. Do I? Do I ..what? Do I recall! Oh, I think I do, or did. Um, anyways, if I do, then I wont remember that I had an important point to make with this whole email. If I don’t, then …*scratches head* oh look, blue car!
Very displeased with your service though I don’t remember why,
Thanks guys! This will make a difference!

Thank you Lord.
Never knew I could feel like this..
Like I've never seen the sky before.
Want to vanish inside your kiss.
Every day I'm loving you more than this
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Telling me to give you everything!
Seasons may change winter to spring..
But I love you... until the end of time.
Come what may..
Come what may..
I will love you... until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you... until the end of time. | | |
| Comme un papillon coloré, il a des ailes de lui doit posséderMy friend gave me a CD a while back that I hadn't listened to all the way through until today. I'm so glad I did though! This song-- wow, this song is beautiful.

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all...
