Thusday April 29, 2004

The fencing tournament is today and then Tiff and I have out premier. Oooo it's going o be so much fun.
I just dried my hair and it's really soft. Because I'm fencing and then going to the premier, I'm going to be crunched for time. I;m going to wear my pink polka dotted shirt and gray pants. The school year is almost done. There's only one more Thursday and then I'll be a junior. How crazy is that? What a crazy yea. In so many ways it's been the total opposite of last year. I'll be living in Pickett, DCing, and making my documentary. How exciting. I still really can't believe it's happening. Me making a real film? How crazy is that? I've never been excited about a career like this. Plans are also rolling along for my internship this summer (I pray I can handel it).

This could end up being a very important date. One for the history books. We are going to war. Within 48 hrs something big is going to happen. That's how long Bush had given Sadam Hosane to leave Iraq. It's scary. I feel an impending attack. Something is coming. I feel it. It feels wierd that I was in Washington two days ago.

August 24, 2002

Tomorrow is college. Why is everyone so excited and I'm scared? No one seems to feel the way I do. I know you (God) love and will take care o me but why doesn't my heart KNOW? Lord, I really need your strength. Thank you. Suddenly you made me thing of the taking one day at a time. Asking what does God want me to do today? I want peace that passes understanding. I'm getting there. Lord, please help me to remember everything. Everything I've learned, everything you've told me. It's like my brian focuses on the world (worring), but my heart is yours. Both just need to get in tune.

September 11, 2001

I know it;s been so long since I wrote in here but I had to write today. It's 10:00. America was attacked today. It so unreal. I came out of first hour and Lois and Amber told me that two planes had crashes into the World Trade Center. I rushed to Mrs. Murphy's room where I stayed glued to the TV for about three hours. Two commercial jets, one carrying 92 and the other something like 78 crashed into each tower f the WTC. Then another jet with appoximatly 68 people crashed into the Pentagon. Then another jet crashed in Pennsylvania After the two planes hit the WTC one tower totally collapsed and about 20mins later the other one collapsed the same way. It;s so unreal. The worst act of terrorism since Pearl Harbor. There are so many stories. People jumping from 100 stories up. A fireman witnessed a fellow fireman die when he had a body fall on him. People in wheelchairs had no way of getting down because the elevators shut down. A woman had just got confirmation that her husband was alright when the tower he was in collasped. A flight attendent called someone about the terrorist and told the seat number of one of them, It's so horrific.

Rooted

And I pray
that you,
being rooted and established
in LOVE,
may have
power,
together with with all the saints,
to grasp
how wide

and

long

and

high

and

deep

is the LOVE of Christ,
and to know this
LOVE that surpasses knowledge
--that you may be filled to the measure
of all the fullness of
GOD.

I've been journaling since 6th grade and I thought it would be fun and a little fitting as we leave the '00s to revisit a few memorable post from age 15-25. This one was written in a Pokemon notebook! :D

*I've decided to leave the typos in!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 2000. It really doesn't feel any different, but no one siad it was going to. This is the only resolotion I have so far: Stop critising. Actially I'm not sure if I critisize all that much. It just came to me in the bathroom. I cleaned a little and watch a lot of So Weird episodes. Last night Auntie B came over and we watched Notting Hill (good), I'll Be Home For Christmas (funny) and Inspector Gadget (fell asleep). We had thes really good non-alcholic drinks!

Guess Who's Engaged?

Friendships are very important to me. Probably one of the things I spend most of my time on, yet in all that, it's common to forget how grateful I am for them. I'm thankful when friends include me in their lives and want to be included in mine. Lives are meant to be shared!

This brings my bridesmaid involvement up to 7! It's humbling. Truly!
