i like you guys.

on that note, i lost my phone right before Christmas, and got a new one (same number), and therefore lost all of the numbers in my phone, so i would love to get yours...you can text me with it, leave it here, or call me. 619-929-1425. thanks! it's much appreciated.

also, if you would like me to do your hair and/or nails (cut, color, style, updo, manicure, or pedicure, and i'm in an acrylics class right now so add that in a couple weeks) i'm available at school Tuesday-Friday from 10 am-5 pm, and Saturdays from 9 am- 5 pm. You can call me for approximate prices (but it's pretty inexpensive...a haircut is $6). The number to make an appointment is 619-461-8600. It's California Hair Design Academy, 8011 University Ave, Suite A-2, La Mesa, Ca 91941. i'm having so much fun, it's amazing. i'm doing really well, and learning so much, and meeting incredible people...it's such a blessing to be able to go. Hope to see you soon!

and, i just discovered the best skincare line i've ever used in my life...Rita McQueen Skincare. It's based out of San Diego, and it is seriously amazing. The package design is pretty old school, but the product works incredibly. if you want some, let me know...i can get you a deal through my school until the end of this month.

Thank You Lord for: the heart of Jesus

"I'm ecstatic!

and my thoughts
are
uncontrollably
sporadic!

Yet centered around one center

Joy.

In plush ripe tones
joy is rushing through my bones!

If joy were a color
it would be purple
pastel
pretty

Like old women and young children
both wear on easter

Smiling while having deviled eggs
and drinking kool-aid

Chasing blown bubbles
in the backyard

The young ones' distracting hats
fly off...

And the old ones laugh
a contagious laughter
that is to be shared
by everyone there

The sun
shines down upon them
as all of their physical imperfections
gleam
beautifully

and inside
inside
I feel like this
and I look outside my window
and imagine the
future purple pastel pretty
moments of joy
that I will one day have with my wife.
My Children.
My friends.
My family.

I really look forward to those moments.
But I am thankful for the one
that I am having right now.
this morning.

Alone.
On my couch.

Overwhelmed by Joy."

---"On Being Joyful and Content" by Bradley Hathaway(look him up on myspace...he's pretty phenomenal)

Ladies and gentlemen, God blesses me. Everyday. Not necessarily in things or anything like that, but in the littlest ways...God blesses me continually. And i never thank Him enough.

Thank You Lord for: Christmas and people and difficulties and blessings and perserverance and new scissors and love and hope and joy

"I looked into that empty bottle and I saw myself."

This was the most emotional weekend of my life. extreme highs, extreme lows, and everything inbetween.

Dear God, fill me up.

so much death and so much life all in one weekend.

Lord, thank You for their lives. They made a difference for You while they were with us.

OK, so on saturdays, i can bring one person to practice stuff we've learned on. As of this moment, i can shampoo, condition, give you a healthy conditioning scalp treatment, blow dry, and thermally(curling/straightening iron) style your hair. i'm close to being able to perm your hair(i wouldn't trust me on that one quite yet) Any takers? My mom's got this saturday, but after that, you got it. hit the cell 6199291425 for info, or just to talk to me :)

It's been two days and i pretty much love hair school.

You know what's cool? We have value. Just because God made us. If we never did anything ever in our whole lives, we still have amazing value. Someone who can't speak, hear, or even move still has worth. And sometimes, i don't think i can speak, hear, or move very well at all. But, praise the Lord...i have value.

Thank You Lord for: feelings

"Shout it from the rooftops
Let the trumpets ring
Sing your freaking lungs out
Jesus Christ is King"

--"Words to Build a Life On" by Mike Crawford

This is a verse from an amazing song that was written at Jacob's Well Church in Kansas City. How freaking rad is that?

Thank You Lord for: real life

the prayer of my heart:

Speak in this close communion
Though this hour seems timeless still
i wait for Your words that bid me come

Breathe in me, Holy Spirit
The will when my tomorrow comes
To follow when this song is gone

So i await the words that You say
i open my life
i am longing just to hear these words
That You say, that You say

Shape me with words of wisdom
Free my torn heart from this world
Renew my mind and form my will

Teach me to wholly offer
More than words that i can sing
So i become the song i bring

So i await the words that You say
i open my life
i am longing just to hear these words
That You say, that You say

Speak in this close communion
Though this hour seems timeless still
i wait for Your words that bid me come

Breathe in me, Holy Spirit
The will when my tomorrow comes
To follow when this song is gone

So i await the words that You say
i open my life
i am longing just to hear these words
That You say, that You say

Can i be an instrument of praise
And here pursue Your heart
So my life will tell of who You are

Can i be a channel of Your Love
A reflection of Your light
And live to bring You praise and serve You, Lord

So i await the words that You say
i open my life
i am longing just to hear these words
That You say, that You say

-"words that you say" by Something Like Silas

what speaks to you?

Thank You Lord for: honest truth

i'm afraid of thunder. and really hard wind. and butterflies.

i love rain though.

"I know you've missed perfection,
But your quirks and flaws
Are not personal betrayals,
But are the marks left 
By the kiss of angels,
Allowing you to live within
This far too real world."
--a portion of the poem "Psalm 183" by Joseph Zitt
