So maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to eat all of that chocolate ice cream last night. I stayed up half the night staring at my ceiling, which I don’t particularly like staring at. I mean, it’s a nice enough ceiling, but it has always bothered me that ceilings don’t usually get painted. Seriously, why do walls get painted a pretty color but the poor ceiling gets left boring white? Anyways, I just couldn’t stand staring at my ceiling anymore so I tried coming up with some ideas for a new book!

Melanie Carver is a missionary to India. She always loved reading about Amy Carmichael and was very excited when God called her to be a missionary to India! She begins working at an orphanage. Then….

Ya, that’s as far as I got before sleep finally claimed me. I think I was about to write something really good too, but for the life of me I can’t remember! I’m beginning to think I have short term memory loss. I can’t remember though! Haha get it? Wow, I am really tired still. I’m writing in my diary and I’m trying to see if the diary understood my joke, and now I’m trying to justify it. Maybe it’s time for breakfast!

new weekly story!

ok so i decided that i'm going to start writing a story and i'll post something new kinda weekly! and when i say kinda it may be more often or less often! you will just have to check ever so often! it's going to be like the diary of a teenage girl name Addison Richards. she is an aspiring author going through every day things and you get the chance to read her diary! so it should be exciting! i will still be blogging stuff about myself though so to keep everything easily recognizable the story titly will just be Addison Richards Part 1..or so on! yup! so i hope ya'll enjoy it!!! :)

on days like these, it's hard to see what You're doing with me. 'cuz my life seems out of control, i've turned my friends into enemies and turned love into hate. i don't want to be this way, but God, how do i begin with a fresh start? i know it won't happen overnight, but God, You do everything right.

well it's hard to believe that You still want to use me, but You've turned darkness into light and You're turning my wrong into right. now i'm trusting in You and drawing closer to You, all because You've taken my mistakes and turned them into this beautiful circumstance.

i was drifting away and beginning to stray. i kept getting closer to the edge, my feet began to slip, but Lord, You caught me, before i could fall. and i still can't believe that You'd rescue me, 'cuz i've made my mistakes and had my share of falls.

well it's hard to believe that You still want to use me, but You've turned darkness into light and You're turning my wrong into right. now i'm trusting in You and drawing closer to You, all because You've taken my mistakes and turned them into this beautiful circumstance.

You've turned my tragic faults into this beautiful tragedy into this beautiful circumstance. You've taught me to trust You through my fall. Lord, You work wonders, and i still can't believe You'd take time for me! but You knew from the start, You'd be working on my heart and truning my faults into this beautiful circumstance. this beautiful circumstance!

Re: "This Beautiful Cicumstance"

ok so that was a song i wrote on our trip :) i've really been learning alot lately and i just felt like God wanted me to write that! the song Beutiful Ending by BarlowGirl really inspired me! i can't wait to get home and have Kris help me come up with some music!!!

creative streak

ok so i'm definitely going through this really creative streak! lol!! like today i took pictures of myself ((sounds super vain..i know.. but it really was just so i could play around with them in photoshop!!)) so that i could try new photoshop techniques! it was sooo fun! i will put a link to all of them :)

photography

ok so i have been inspired lately! i've been looking for someone or someplace to take my senior pictures and it has really inspired me to start taking lots of pictures again! the only annoying thing is my camera is totally gone *may it rest in peace*. so ya.. i am gonna save my money and get a new camera. i want a Nikon D5000 :) talk about happy making! lol but tonight i took some pictures and edited them in photoshop and did some finishing stuff in picnik. i'll have to add a link to the pix i did. anyways.. have a fantabulous night..or morning whichever you look at it! :)

klutzy me!

ok so everyone that knows me can agree that i am a big klutz! very very big!! lol :D so yesterday i was having a so-far successful day without any major falls or anything..till i was walking down some stairs..then the whole story changes! i decided to hop down the rest of the way.. i was on about the 3rd of 4th step from the bottom. so there i went..in the air..breeze in my hair..then kataplum!!!! i landed on my right foot and it decided to twist and i buckled. falling right on top of my poor, poor ankle in a beautiful "indian position"! yes it was quite graceful i can assure you! :p so after that it hurt like crazy and i could barely walk on it. i went to bed last night supposing it would feel better by morning..but it had other ideas! i woke up with it throbbing, and barely moveable! i eagerly scheduled a chiropractor appointment. so after running some errands i went up to the chiropractor to see what he would say. he took several x-ray and said the bones were beautiful..but i did strain it pretty bad! so i am now wearing a very beautiful ankle brace! woot! but at least it helps keep me steady! hopefully i learned my lesson about jumping down stairs! lol!

Great Day

today was a fantabulous day!!! for starters i got to enjoy my AMP :) ya that gave me the energy i needed to get through the day!!! then i had a lot of fun on bus visitation with casey! and surprise surprise..we managed not to get lost this week!! woot! then i went to Laredos..and amazing mexican restaurant with kris and her parents! we had lotsa fun!! then i got to go visit my god niece!!!!!! she is the cutest little baby EVER!!! and we both have the same initials: R.E.M!! those are truly great initials :} and then after that i stopped by some places where i had dropped off applications, and i got good news from Target about working in the portrait studio! i shoul be getting a call on monday from someone at the mall of GA location to schedule and interview!! yay!! so after all of that excitement i headed home to get ready for a wedding. i curled my hair ((which even after getting like 5 or 6 inches cut off, it still takes an hour to spiral curl!!)) and put on a fresh face and headed up to the church. i met matt there and we got to watch paintball for a while before we went to the wedding. and wow..the drive to the wedding was rather scary! the roads were narrow and sooooooooo curvy!!! i was scared!!! but i survived..even in the drk on the drive back!!! :) *yay me!* lol yup! so that was my great day!

Summer Mornings

summer mornings are so great! you have the amazing option of waking up early or later...i obviously chose the latter today! but that choice alone makes summer mornings so very enjoyable. then there's the next choice..what to do today. hmmm.. should i make it a productive day or just enjoy the summer. well i think i'm going to kind of mix the two today. i shall exercise then get ready and turn in all of my job applications. great fun! haha :D i am kinda lonely though..because Kris couldn't spend the night last night..and i don't have anyone to make flodcasts with or anyone to eat chocolate frosting out of the tub. *sigh* whatever shall i do with myself? so that is what goes on in my head when i think of summer mornings!

Officially the Summer

ok..so i just got back from the lake! and i can say it is now officially the sumer! it never quite feels like summer vacation until i've taken a nice trip out on the lake! i have to say it was wuite fun! kris and i had the excitment of being the first to ride IGGY aka our new ginormous tube! ya we named it Insectasaurous Gigantor! lol! ya we're movie geeks..oh well! so yes..we had a blast!!!

Be Happy No Matter What!!

life is hard. no questions about it. but whenever life throws you those crazy curve balls...just say "doodeedoo life's good!" and you will smile :)
