So. Frustrating.
I am just going to be blunt here.
YOU broke up with ME.
I just think you are so ridiculous sometimes.
You made the choice.
Therefore, do not complain.
Cause I am still here when you decide you want to come back.
I told you that.
Thanks.

Interesting...
Edward Cullen is not a vampire.
he lives in the woods,
he doesn't kill humans,
& he glitters when he's in the sun...
the dude is obviously a fairy.

Heartbreak
This happens too frequently.
The thing is...God has bigger plans.
Who am I to get in the way of them?

Recruiting...the College Kind
So I have completed my first "PR" weekend.
Let's just say, I have mixed reviews. There was a lot of drama involved, but when you take out the petty, stupid and unnecessary drama...it was great. I really enjoyed being out at a Christian music festival recruiting for my school.
I saw a lot of freaking awesome music groups. Skillet (for the first time ever. they melted off my face.), Family Force 5 (awesome as usual.), the new Newsboys (feat. Michael Tate as the lead singer), and many others. It was sooooo fun!
I leave tomorrow night for Gaylord, Michigan. I'll be at Big Ticket Festival. Interested in who will be there? http://www.bigticketfestival.com/
Well, until then...
Peace & Blessins',

Yeshua
"Savior"
There are so many names for God in the Bible. Reading through them, I am overwhelmed. Then again, I am overwhelmed by God in the first place.
Why would he make flies? That's something I was wondering as I ate my dinner at an outdoor reception at a beach wedding today. The answer? Cause he's God.
Why would he make a different laugh for everyone on the planet? Cause he's God and he can.
Why make so many different types of trees and plants and animals when in general, they are the same! CAUSE HE IS GOD. He is God and I am amazed by him.
I just started reading Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I'm not even 5 pages in and my mind has already been blown. If you don't have this book, get it. NOW. Luckily, I have a really great boyfriend that let me borrow his copy. All I can say now is that I am amazed by a God who made so many different things because he wanted to, because he can. All I want to do is make him smile.
That's literally all I can think of to say right now. My brain is going a million different directions and it's late. Well, early.

Advice
Here's the thing. I'm no Doctor Phil. But when someone needs me, I listen.
So. When my friend needed me, and I'm telling you...he needed me...I listened, and I listen close. I can relate to having fights with the people in my family. I'm not talking light arguments about bathroom time. I'm talking some nasty fights. Fights that I regret. When my friend...we'll call him Vern...facebooked me needing me to lend an ear...I could NOT say no.
Vern went to Trevecca with me for a semester and a couple weeks. He became one of my really close friends. I did one of his favorite impressions. He moved to another Nazarene University a couple weeks into second semester, and that made it difficult to be able to bond. Doesn't mean I'm not there for him. SO. The other night Vern facebooked me. He had gotten in a HUGE and nasty fight with his mom a day or so before and things were not looking so great. He'd said some unnecessary things to his mom, she left upset, his dad went after her. His dad came home crying, his mom returned and didn't eat for a couple days, and Vern didn't sleep for a couple days. By the time he came to me for advice, he had gone I think, oh, 3 days without sleeping. We began to talk. Every bit of advice I gave him would be returned with an excuse for why it wouldn't work or why it hadn't worked because he had tried it already. I got VERY frustrated. I just wanted to grab his shoulders (by now we were on skype. I was talking, he was typing) and shake him and yell in his face. Why ask someone for advice when you aren't going to take it?
Then I realized. He never really came out and asked me for my advice. All he said was that he needed me. Vern just needed an ear. That ear belonged to me.
After a little while, we were on the subject of God. Of course he believes in him. That wasn't the point. He wanted me to help him answer a question that he has been wanting an answer for since he took theology last semester. "Is God responsible for all the good on Earth...?" Wow. How do I answer that? I am no theologian. I am no reverend, no minister, no one qualified (well, who really is qualified when it comes to knowing things about GOD?) enough to answer something like that. All I could tell him was to get the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I'm not even through the first chapter and I'm in awe of a God that I've been learning about since birth. (I'll leave that to another blog) I told Vern to read this book and to think about our God and let HIM handle things. That's the only way he was going to get through his trials. I told him not to worry about the bad things that were happening. I told him not to focus on things that were out of control. I told him to stop thinking and start worshiping the God that was capable of handling everything for him. That's all I could tell him.
I talked to Vern yesterday. You want to know what his reply was when I asked him how things were going?
"They are a lot better."

Busy
Wow. Life. Busy.
I was told to update my blog, so here I am! Ever since school ended, I haven't necessarily been BUSY, but I haven't been just sitting around. I've been home, I've been back, I've been laying by the pool, and I've gotten a SWEET job. Never fear, I'm still an Abba Java employee, but we all don't work there during the summer.
So, about this new job. I'm working with TNU. Sound fun? Well, it should be! I'll be traveling with 3 other people (different each time) to different music festivals in the US. First (from June 16-20) I'll be at Atlantafest in Atlanta, GA. We'll set up a booth and tell thousands of kids about Trevecca. It should be really awesome! From June 24-27, I'll be in MICHIGAN at Big Ticket Festival. Then, June 28-July 3 I'll be in Bushnell, IL for Cornerstone Festival. WOW. That's a lot of stuff going on in a close period of time. I am going to a couple others, but those aren't until August and September.
Sure, I'll be making a lot of money doing this, but it's going to be SO FUN and SO WORTH the sweat and exhaustion!
Anyway, that's the main thing going on in my life. I'm nervous about it. We'll be traveling in a tour bus, really getting to know each other REAL well. YAYYY.
I'm so excited for this opportunity. It's a big deal. (I mean, the least amount of people at these festivals will be 15,000 people!) That's a whole lot! Just keep me in your prayers as I go out to recruit people to Trevecca, a place where everyone should be! :)
Peace & Blessin's,

P.S. I have the best, most understanding, most caring boyfriend in the world and I like him a whole lot. :)

Blessings
Daniel Wesley Moranville.
That's all I have to say when I think "blessing". It's nice being able to say his name on here now! Of course, everyone knew I was talking about him anyway...still. Waiting 4 months for someone is usually useless. In this case, it was WELL worth the wait. I have never been happier. I don't have words for how I feel. He makes me the happiest girl in the world. Not only is he really, really cute. He has the biggest heart for others that I have ever seen. That is so refreshing!
I'm speechless.
"Are we an item, girl quit playing." :)

Change
It's hard to believe that all this patience might pay off soon.
That's all I am going to say.
On a different note, I just got back from spending a weekend in Orlando, Florida with the TNU Gospel Choir. We went to Orlando to minister to Haitian people at their churches. I have never experienced anything like that. They worship like I've never seen before! It was such an overwhelming experience to have sang "It Is Well" in their native language. I got tears in my eyes! It was SO INCREDIBLY POWERFUL. God moves in the craziest of ways. I started off the weekend not excited at all, and by the end I was so thankful for the opportunity. I'm making a change. When I worship, I'm really going to worship. My God deserves that from me.

Baby I'm a Fool
"Baby I should hold on just a moment and be sure it’s not for vanity,
Look me in the eye and tell me love is never based upon insanity,
Hear the way my heart is beating every other moments fleeting,
Kiss me now,
Don’t ask me how."
Baby I'm a Fool.

This Situation.
Now, c'mon bud, this is just getting ridiculous.
WHY DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT YOU MAKE MY HEART STOP?
WHY DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT MAYBE WE CAN GROW UP TOGETHER?
WHY DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT YOU CAN STOP PLAYING THESE GAMES NOW?
WHY DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT I AM ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT CRAZY ABOUT YOU?
it's just not fair.
You're stuck on me and my laughing eyes,
I can't pretend although I try to hide
I like you, I like you.

Until Now
Is it wrong to want to shout in someone's face and beg them to just tell you their feelings?
That's what I want to do pretty much everyday right now. I hate the feeling of being crazy about someone and not being able to do anything about it cause you don't want to ruin what you already have going. It makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Part of me knows that I have some growing up to do. The other part of me wonders why I'm not good enough how I am right now. Why can't we be together WHILE I grow up?
The thing is, while it might hurt and drive me crazy every single second of the day...he's worth waiting for. I've never met anyone who can make me think about things I've tried to ignore. I've never met someone who makes me want to listen to slow songs even though they used to just make me depressed. I've never met someone who makes me want to do something right with my life, no matter how scary it might be. Until now.
I wish that it was as easy now as it was when we were in elementary school. Writing a note saying, "Check yes or no." Why is it not that easy? Why do we make things SO, SO complicated? Everything is complicated and it's not fair.
Maybe that's why I need to grow up. Because things aren't simple as a grown up. Things change. On the other hand, maybe that is the part of me that is right. How will I ever know?
In closing, here are the words to a song that really make me think of someone. Well, certain parts of the song do more than others. Enjoy.
"Vanilla Twilight"
Owl City
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here
I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

Money, Money, Money...
I hate it. It brings too much stress on me.
Now, if I had the amount of money I have and things costed less, that would be just fine with me. I just hate needing things and not feeling financially stable to buy those things. I also hate just wanting to go out for Sweet CeCe's and not having the money cause I want to be able to afford shampoo. C'MON NOW.
Luckily, I have the best job in the world. Now...to get paid...
I have nothing more to say. My blogs are REAL boring. Something interesting needs to happen.
