GSM -- Love Lockdown

Seth Bible leading worship--the boy can sing.

(Middle-DC, Riley and Jeff during Love Lockdown, Bottom-Seth singing Love Lockdown by Kanye West)



Last night at GSM was simply...Amazing. It was the beginning of the 'Love Lockdown' series. The series is obviously about dating, a topic that should always be talked about. I love Jeff and DC, they can deliver a message while making you laugh and think. They can get their point across with humor, not many can do that. I cant wait for these next 4 or 5 weeks. Its gonna be amazing. Photo credit goes to Jonathan Anderstrom.

True Beauty

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.”

—Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Sick World--We Need Jesus

We live in a sick world. This is why I hate watching the news and or reading the newspaper.
9 Year Old To Abort Twins

I admit I am AGAINST abortion, I do not support it at all. But unfortunately in this case, it's probably what is best because of her age and her body. Even though my heart is breaking.


This world needs Jesus.
Big Time.

Dad at 13. Mom at 15.

This makes me sick. I can't even imagine....What is this world coming too??? They're barely teenagers...and they're having sex, geez. Does that tell you something about our society...
While on the topic, GCC has their sex series coming up in March, go HERE.

More Real

I found a new favorite song. I love it. I can't stop listening to it. I randomly found this girl on itunes. I had money to spare on itunes...so I found Brooke Barretsmith. (apparently she was on american idol)Even though this is the only song I've heard from her, I highly recommend checking her out. It took one listen to the 30 second sample for me to want this song. Now it's time to listen to more of her..... :)

"More Real"
So round and round I go
Dancing with my soul
I'm anxious and afraid
Sifting pieces of the day
Shattered where they lay
I'm about to break

In this lonely place
I cry Your name

You are more real
Than the tears that are filling my eyes
Than the heartache I'm holding inside
You're my hope in the darkest of times
Like the moon that illumines the night
In light of all I feel
Jesus, You're more real

Love covers all my fear
And I am resting here
Held in Your embrace

In only place
That I'm not afraid

You are more real
Than the tears that are filling my eyes
Than the heartache I'm holding inside
You're my hope in the darkest of times
Like the moon that illumines the night
In light of all I feel
Jesus, You're more real

And I'm running away to You
Running away to You
Running away from the darkness of night
And I'm holding to what is true
Holding to what is true
Running away to You into the light

You are more real
Than the tears that are filling my eyes
Than the heartache I'm holding inside
You're my hope in the darkest of times
Like the moon that illumines the night
In light of all I feel
Jesus, You're more real

Red Hair + Talent

Jealousy is bad. But I get jealous real easily when it comes to girls who are around my age, and they can sing. I wish I could sing. I've always wanted to, but the talent is not there. This girl, Allison Iraheta, has a good chance at going far on American Idol. I'm not the biggest fan of the red hair, but I am a fan of her voice.
Other thoughts,
Adam Lambert wears too much make-up, I'm not a fan of him...I sort of like his voice...but it's not my favorite.
Nick Mitchell is a joke. I don't get it. Yet I have a feeling he may go far only because he is entertainment, no talent.
(Watch below)

Alexis Grace and Danny Gokey are my other favs.

Ramble on Celebrities

While watching an entertainment show last night about the Oscars, I got pretty annoyed rather quickly. I can't imagine what it's like to be a celebrity. I don't even wanna know. They're just people, yet they have cameras following them, criticizing what they wear or say. People who don't even want to become a celebrity become one because they either did something stupid, or did something helpful. I work at a library, so I see tabloid cover after tabloid cover. Story after story. Lie after lie. I sometimes wonder, which stories are true? Do they really look like that? This blog has no purpose really, I'm just bored and needed to vent about how I felt about celebrities. It's just kind of pathetic to me. Hollywood is just so over rated. Growing up I always heard about the dream of Hollywood. Becoming famous, but now that I am older, I can see that Hollywood isn't really a dream. It seems more like a nightmare. Yes some people may be doing their dream job of acting and singing. But I can assume it's overwhelming to be talked about all the time. I have enough drama in my life being a simple girl, but I can't even imagine the amount of drama if I were more than a simple girl.

Yeah this blog = no purpose. no point.
I just needed to ramble.

Two Laughs

-OUCH! ...but I admit..I laughed.


-I wish I knew what was so funny...

Randomness

After having all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled this past Saturday, I've been basically couch bound. I've watched a couple movies, took a few naps, read a bit. But mostly I've been thinking...and here's whats come to mind:

• I miss pizza. I'm sick of ice cream...already (which I didn't think was possible, for me atleast). I've been craving everything, cold food is no fun and pudding is starting to taste funny.
• I'm ready for this pain to go away. I want to be able to open my mouth all the way without wanting to scream.
• I got a $15 iTunes gift card from my aunt, and I bought a few songs, I just don't know what else to get...any other suggestions??
  
• I watched a short few minutes of the Academy Awards last night and the only thoughts I remember are 1. Sarah Jessica Parker looked like Cinderella, and Jessica Biel looked bad in her dress.
  
• Saw a preview for a movie called "The Proposal". It looks good.
  
• The snow looks beautiful outside as it falls, but I want it to go away.
  
• I can get my license on the 28th, but the weather may be stopping me from doing so since I haven't really driven in the snow before.
• I missed GSM last night. I wasn't too happy about that. I hate missing Austin play bass. Seeing him play makes me smile.
  
• I'm hating our T.V right now. Hopefully U-Verse will work out tomorrow. Sigh.
• I'm starting to miss something....
• I'm starting to wish.....
• I'm starting to wonder....

You can see my mind is overcrowded. Being stuck on a couch will do that to you.

Confessions of a Shopaholic::Review

I've been waiting for this movie...for a long time. I've seen the bookss come and go at work. They say this movie is almost 2 hours long, and it went by so fast! I laughed, and teared up a bit (I get emotional easily). Austin really didn't wanna sit through it. But he, being the best boyfriend, did sit through it and he liked it. This is why I'm s lucky, my boyfriend will sit through a chick flick with me. Though the movie is some-what predictable it still had it's surprises. I think anyone can enjoy this movie, not just shopaholics. :) And I must add, they only slipped in one cusss word (that I heard), and very very very very little drinking. And no sex. Ummm thank you Hollywood. Finally. But I doubt that will last long considering Fired Up just came out....sigh..




So I give "Shopaholic" **** out of ****
Thats only my opinion. And now I think I might read the books...hmmmmm

White Horse::Taylor Swift

I simply love Taylor Swift. Her music is so real. Some don't understand what there is to love about her. I personally can't relate to most of her songs since most of them pertain to breaking up. I've only been in one relationship and it's still going strong. I wish I could play guitar and sing. But I can't. HA But her music puts me at ease when I'm angry. Her latest music video is amazing. The song "White Horse" is a song, I can imagine no girl wants to relate to. But the lyrics are wonderful.

Say you're sorry
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time
'Cause
I honestly believed in you
Holding on,
The days drag on
Stupid girl
I should have known, I should have known

That I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.

Maybe I was naïve,
Got lost in your eyes
I never really had a chance.
I had so many dreams about you and me.
Happy endings;
Now I know

I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse,
To come around.

And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness,
Begging for me
Just like I always wanted,
But I'm so sorry

Cause Im not your princess
This aint a fairytale
Im gonna find someone, Some day
Who might actually treat me well.
This is a big world,
That was a small town
There in my rearview mirror,
Disappearing now.
And it's too late for you and your White Horse
Now its too late for you and your White Horse
To catch me now.

Oh whoa whoa whoa-oh
Try and catch me now
Whoa-Oh
It's too late
To catch me now.

the video is also wonderful

Austin

This is Austin. I've known him for 3ish years. But I've KNOWN him for almost a year. The difference is knowing who he was, and knowing his heart and about him. He asked me out a handful of times, and thankfully when he asked me out 11 months ago, I stopped and prayed about it. I wasn't wanting to date in high school. I simply didn't want to deal with it. Despite the drama and horrible days, I don't regret saying yes. He's shown me how strong I really am. This boy has gone through a lot, and life just doesn't give him a break sometimes. I'm glad I can help him through it. I've seen him grow, I've watched him grow more in love with Jesus, I've seen him fight. And he is tough stuff :) I wish everyone could see the amazing side of him, not just the side of being stressed and trying to always get something done at church. i'm lucky to be able to see the amazing side. And yes, I admit there are times I would like to biff him in the nose, but I dpn't dare. He doesn't deserve it. He's only human, just like the rest of us. He's got his head on straight and I am so proud of him. I and glad I can call him mine. :)
