TO DO list:

I have so much homework I have to do. It's horrible. I realized I'm lacking a social life, more and more. Beautiful thing about school is it ends one day. Can you tell I'm excited?! I don't feel well either. I've been dizzy and nauseous. Appetizing I know. The bright side of my day was my 92% on my mineral test in Geology today. Not half bad! The silly things in life. Oh Letter-grade, you've caused me so much stress. Thanks for paying off!

Nike Shoes Made to Praise God

"I'm taxi to Kentucky where they don't even know all about me. 
I just need'a feel safe. 
I got thousands of sweaters, shoes, and painting to hide.
 Skeletons in my bed. I'm goin away"

So I'm on this journey. I never saw coming. I've met more people that are famous then I ever thought I would. And there is even more to come. The people that supposedly live the LIFE. Money, V.I.P parties, the flashy clothes, the ideal life, several people dream to have. I've met, hugged, shook hands, and taken pictures with these pop icons and unfortunately the word that could best describe the experience is disappointment. Cause when it comes down to it, and you look at these humans who have regret and failures, successes and accomplishments just like all of us...Their fame fizzles to nothing. Reality hits when I see them backstage getting ready to perform, just like me, and their not on TV or videos, they're face to face with me? Through the meeting and greeting of these legends, icons, and people of high prestige, I have the strongest desire to stay humble. To never let the cameras, fans, treatment, or "fame" ever get to my head. To never view myself above anyone. To always remember I'm here because this is simply my journey. Where I am is where I am, and through it I only want to be the best example I can be. I know I've burned some chances to be an example, but I don't want to give up on trying. People have told me that "I'm different then everyone else. Down to earth and caring like they've never felt." That's what I want. I want people, famous or homeless to see the God's light beaming through my every action. Hard but not impossible. In fact, I've put a lot of thought into this topic, aside from writing, and to be honest, when I meet and perform it never seems to match the feeling I get when I'm worshipping God by myself. Eye's closed, on my knees, with hands raised. Matchless feeling. I can't wait to see the doors open or if it's in my journey to watch doors close. All I know at this point is that God has big things planned. 

I WILL ALWAYS BE GOD'S PERFORMER BEFORE THE WORLDS PERFORMER

Let Me Be Transparent


So the new year is settling in after the chaos and countdowns are finished. And.. It is settling in quite nice. The excitement of a new year still lingers and the flash backs of where we all were just a year ago flood the minds of many. It's been a beautiful 2009, but I'm ready for a little push. Here I come twenty10! I've already heard people say, "I wonder where I'll be in 2011?" Wow! There is still a half an hour left of the first of January, yet people are questioning where they will be at in exactly one year from now. Personally, I've been reminiscing on 2009 and the growth, accomplishments, mess ups, and fall backs that have occurred during the duration of last year. The past always seems like such a mess to me. Not necessarily in a bad way but more so in a big jumble of life way. If that makes sense. It lacks specific details and smells, places and faces. Everyday brings its own new adventures I just can't believe I've lives seven thousand three hundred of them. Somehow I'm still kickin' and life hasn't stopped! I'm thankful for many things from 2009 that have carried over to 2010. God's grace and knowing God in general. My boyfriend who still smiles at me like when we first met, (sometimes even cuter!) The support and love from my brother and sister-in-law. The laugher my sister and I still share. My parents and I being able to talk openly. My passion for people and the care I feel for so many. My love for dance. My growing desire to learn how to rap! (Oh boy!) Photography. Art. And... My strong desire to have alone time with me to remember who I am. Although I have decided that one thing needs to increase in my life. I want to write to God more. Sounds simple? It's hard sometimes going to the person who knows you better then you know yourself. It forces you to look at the hard stuff in life, the things you have allowed to come before God, the things you've ran from and disguised with smiles, laughter, and the occasionally fake, "I'm doing good thanks!" It also I don't really believe in new years resolutions. (Not that it's really something people believe in the first place but...!) I think daily resolutions between you and God, for each day, is the best way to stay close and connected to Him. Talking with him throughout the day and possibly even laughing with Him!! I love God. So I will toast to 2010 that it will be an even greater experience getting to know my Father. Cheers to 2009. But I'm sorry, 2010 is now in play. Ready... Set... Live
