The King is enthralled by your beauty

well, its tuesday, thats for sure. i'm a tired little girl. stayed up last night until 2:20am writing an anthropology paper, and then got up at 6:30 to go to 714 prayer in the union. man oh man, earrrrly day! but its ok, after that I came back to my room and went back to sleep. that was wondrous. my hair is curly now(i woke up with it straight) and its making me happy!
tonight i get to sing with the xa worship team for the first of what i hope to be many times! I just love worshipping so so much, singing my heart out to God just lifts my spirits in a way I can't describe. I love music. Speaking of which, one of my friends taught me some great stuff on the guitar today! it was so fun and i'm on my way to actually being able to say i can play guitar, lol. anyways, yay guitar! yay God!
Speaking of God, I (as always) have really been struggling with the whole beauty thing (as every woman does at some point) anyways, and its just so hard, but if i'm not going to buy into the other things of this world, like drugs and alcohol and all that, why should i buy into their perception of beauty? of course I say this now and I'll be self conscious tomorrow, but still, its a good way to try to think about things. God so loves his beautiful creation. God's creation is amazing, and we are a part of that. yay!

The King is enthralled by your beauty. Psalm 45:11

don't complete me yet

yay yay yay!! i think that yay is one of my very favorite words in the entire world : D! it so adequately expresses how i feel most of the time. this evening was amazing. we had a worship and prayer night in the union from 5:30-9:30 and then all of xa went up to franklin street pizza and pasta and had wonderful food and fun! i got to know even more amazing, Godly people and had some awesome prayer and worship. God is always working on me and I'm so glad. I want to be clay in His hands. i never want to be complete, not until I meet Him face to face. oh maan i am just so so happy : )!

worship is a state of the heart

here is my heart right now: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=unc_chialpha the wednesday, sept 21 is my post, please read it! : )

"The Lord says there is nothing you can do that would make Him love you more, there is also nothing you can do that would make Him love you less. He loves you...because he loves you, because that is what He is like, it is His nature to love, and you will always be the beloved."
-Graham Cooke
That is an awesome quote from the awakening and is on the demo http://www.aplacefortheheart.org/ for Jonathan Helser's CD!!

I just love that quote, it is so so so so true!! anyways please read the xanga post! i love you all!!

what a week Jesus : )

Wow, what a week its been. : ) haha I start almost every journal entry with "wow" too. It really does sum up my life. one big wow. hehehe! : D! I auditioned for a co-ed christian a capella group and had call backs today and it went sooo well! I find out if I made it in the morning!! Tonight's XA class about being "missions minded" was awesome! It wasn't the typical "you ought to be ashamed if you are converting people right and left and preaching everywhere" but it was an awesome time of diving into the scripture and really uncovering the promises God has made and our purpose here on earth and the amazing ways he has provided for us to fufill His plan for us! I love you Jesus!!! : D He's been teaching me SO much lately on really laying everything at His feet and totally just submitting it to Him and what He has planned for me. Because God knows WAAAAY better than I do about what's best for me, and the plan He has for my life is SO much greater than anything I could create of my own strength or mind! God is so amazing!! Anyways, I just hope I go to sleep tonight, I can't wait to see if I got in to Psalm 100! love to everyone and have a blessed weekend!

musical laughter

and finally, an update (sorry its been so long!)

I've been thinking a lot about laughing lately. I mean I'm a veteran laugher, I ought to have a medal or something, but lately, I've been thinking about it too. Now as all of you that have heard me laugh know, I don't have that musical, beautiful laughter that floats on the breeze and could be heard in a flower or a tree. But it sure is contagious, hehe. I absolutely love laughing, its one of my favorite things in the world to do, and I don't ever plan on stopping. And I'd rather have a laugh which makes other laugh, than one that just sounds nice. And I think all genuine laughter is beautiful, much more beautiful than music could ever be : )

Now then! On to more important things, lol. I have officially become a college student in the last week or so! I'm absolutely in love with Carolina and wouldn't want to be anywhere else, I'm definiently supposed to be here. Man, God is so good! He is so faithful, left and right I see Him working in my life and its so amazing! He's been bringing me desperately longed for Christian friends and been showing me which Christian fellowship to join and everything. I can hardly remember everything He's done for me and blessed me with in just this one week alone. But I can't wait to see what else He has for me in these next four years! : )

I came home to Greensboro for the weekend and it was wonderful, I didn't do anything except just hang out with my parents. It was so nice to have AC and be able to relax and rest, college is tiring! I'm auditioning for an a capella group next week and getting plugged into a Christian fellowship as well. We'll see about how club lacrosse goes, but for now I'm getting ice cream tonight with two beautiful ladies and letting God take care of the rest.

Phillipians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guards your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
