gosh... i'm so obsessed with clouds! i don't know why... maybe it's because they are absolutely beautiful!

this weekend has been so good. i got to see my grandmother esther. that's what we call her: Grandmother Esther. she refused to be called by anything else. she's too classy and cool for that :D haha. anyways, she turned 84, so we had a little family get-together. it was nice and i wish she still lived near me so i could see her more often. what i loved the most about her and what really touched me yesterday was that she apologized for the stuff that happened between my mom and dad's divorce. i don't know why she apologized for it but she did and it almost made me cry... i did a little bit after i left. i don't know even know all the stuff that happened since i was four when it happened but i all i know is that for her telling me that was huge. she is an amazing grandmother. i love her dearly.

after that, i was a hostess at a wedding shower for Jordan. it was so much fun! getting to see erica, who lives too far away, and all of my wonderful THOP friends. they are such a blessing to me. i didn't even realize it was 10 until someone said it. we all had a wonderful time and it made miss tuscaloosa so much. my heart was so warm and full of joy when i left last night. it was awesome.

a couple of us are starting to pray for fresh fire in the youth at my church. so please pray for that as you read this. not only for my church but all youth groups in every church.

something to leave you with:
my favorite picture of my sister and i at her wedding:

here is the wedding party:

good night all.
may the Lord bless your dreams tonight and give you visions in your dreams.

so i have been in this waiting period. trying to find the job that God wants me to do and volunteering at church. it's been crazy. the Lord has been using me too! i've been praying for boldness and He has used me to speak up when needed. that is so hard for me but all the words that were said came out naturally. it was nuts! i just thank the Lord for using me and i credit it all to Him. i pray He keeps using me.

hopefully a more detailed update will come soon!
pride & prejudice is on tv.
goodnight.

On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter,
sing yourselves into his presence.
Know this: God is God, and God, God.
He made us; we didn't make him.
We're his people, his well-tended sheep.
Enter with the password: "Thank you!"
Make yourselves at home, talking praise.
Thank him. Worship him.
For God is sheer beauty,
all-generous in love,
loyal always and ever.
Psalm 100 (message)

short post

kendall is officially moved in and back from the beach! i'm excited for this year.

sad that two of my best friends are going back to school, and the other one is going to Bulgaria in October. happy about kendall being here :D

i still need a job.

zuzu joined the family officially this week. her owners don't want her since they got new furniture in their now remodeled home. that's lame and infuriates me... some people shouldn't be pet owners.

"you open up your heart
time and time and time again

you give beauty for ashes
and garments of praise
you give infinite mercy
for those who fear your name"
