Horrible

Dang it! I've let it happen again. Life always seems to get in the way of sharing it. Well, that and really slow dial-up connections. With that being said, I'm off to work!

Banner Day

So...this has been an eventful day. I turned in all my stuff at Curves and left a note for Linda letting her know that I don't have the hours to work at Hallmark and Curves. I wrote to the people doing the Fall Festival and let them know that I now only had one week to learn the music that they still had not sent me and that it wasn't going to work out. And...I'm now driving to Savannah tomorrow after work to join my mom, my aunt, and my aunt's two best friends for at least one night and part of the Sunday morning, after which they'll head home and I'll stick around the city for a bit. Good times. So, now I must go to bed so that I can work and then drive. Hopefully, I'll have an inspiring weekend with lots of fun tidbits to share when I get home!

Go under the mercy!

Stolen from others...

This should pretty much sum it up:

I am tired and you're so beautiful
I am dirty and old
I am glass and you are the rock that breaks me apart
I am nothing at all

Is there something I can be
More than this tragic comedy
Because if you would die for me
I wish that I could be worth something

I am weak, you are a soldier next to me
You're everything I wish I could be
I am a page and I am writing you my heart
So please don't break it

Is there something I can be
More than this comic tragedy
Because if you would die for me
I wish that I could be worth something

'Cause I am worn and if you asked
Well I would be the last to tell you
Are my prayers as frail as I?

I am tired and you are the one thing real to me
So hold me while I sleep.
~"Tired", by Andy O and The Normals

Sometimes when I'm all alone
I don't know if I can take another breath
Some say home is where the heart is
Tell me where my home is
'Cause I am scared to death

Falling from the rooftop
Crashing like a raindrop
Can you make my heart stop
Shaking like a leaf
Standing at the floodgate
Steady as an earthquake
Can you hear my heart break
Tearing at the seams

I am drifting in the deep end
holding onto your hand is all that saves me now
Life can treat you like a beggar
You hold me together
But I don't know how

Falling from the rooftop
Crashing like a raindrop
Can you make my heart stop
Shaking like a leaf
Standing at the floodgate
Steady as an earthquake
Can you hear my heart break
Tearing at the seams

Some say home is where the heart is
And my heart is in Your hands
You are all I need

Rising from the ashes
Lifted from the madness
Now you see my heart is
Deep enough to dream
Heal me from the deathblow
Lead and I will follow
Now you feel my heart glow
Mending at the seams

Day 2

So, I forgot to mention in my post yesterday that I got my tickets this weekend for the Andrew Peterson Christmas concert at the Ryman on December 11th! You'd think that I would remember that since I'm so freakin' excited about it, but noooo, I forgot. I'm sitting in the front row of the balcony again this year. Last year's seats were so sweet. This year's will hopefully be just as sweet. My mom and I have roped my aunt into our insanity this year. That's right, all three of us will drive up to Nashville late Friday/early Saturday to get there and fellowship (read: go to La Hacienda and eat cheese) and sit in awe at the amazing amount of talent on the Ryman's stage.

And now I'd like to take a moment to say that I love this guy: Randall Goodgame. That is what I'm aspiring to - sharing things from my life to enlighten (and amuse). And heck, if I could write a song like him I wouldn't be too upset either! :-D

That brings me to the Fall Festival at the church. They've asked me to lead the singing while playing my guitar for the "sing-along" after the baking contests and the dinner and all. First of all, what are they...crazy or something? They asked me a while back and said that they want to do campfire songs or something like that. 'Cause I know a lot of those! I'm not the world's best guitarist either. They only time that they've seen me play is when our worship leader was out of town and I filled in...in the background, with a direct box that was ghetto-rigged and only worked half of the time and they didn't really even turn me up in the house system. So, yeah. I mean, I like to think that I can play, but I really don't know. Now I have to try and get that Saturday off (the 15th) as well as the 22nd, since my aunt won 4 tickets to Mark Schultz in Orlando. *Sigh* I don't know if I can do it or not. It could be a really great experience or it could really suck. Those are my thoughts for tonight. I should go to bed since I'm opening in the morning. Maybe I'll just play a little bit of guitar first...

Anyway, until next time, God bless!

I am bad at keeping up...

I am a bad blogger. I know this, you know this, I think we all now know this. I know that I should just come on here and pour everything into a post and get on with it. Im sure that I have brilliant things to write, but I tend to either wait until I have so much to say that I don't want to type it all out or until I've forgotten everything. Yeah.

Right now I'm not doing any Bible Study. Only one person wanted to do the Narnia one and I really wasn't prepared enough to teach it. I didn't want to take the one that was meeting on Wednesday and the other two are going to meet on Monday nights, when I'm normally working. So, now I have to try to motivate myself, which as you can see from my posting here is not the easiest task in the world. So...I'm thinking that maybe I should make myself read something and post about it everyday. We'll see how that plays out. If anyone actually reads this thing, leave me messages to make me stay on it! Ok, now off to bed.

Go under the mercy!
