Thanks Abby

Dressing Up For Jesus

I wanna be in the light as You are in the light. I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens. Oh Lord, be my light and be my salvation. Cause all I want is to be in the light.

Homecoming....basically amazing. Before the dance, Madeline and I were talking about how we are getting all dressed up for basically nobody. haha But then we changed our outlook and we decided that we are going to dress up for Jesus. And that's what we did. :D He

is all that matters!!

No dates necessary, we had a BLAST! I actually think it was better without one. If

I must say so myself. haha

I'll Be

"Oh all these beautiful girls!!"

This picture defines our relationship....perfectly. haha

My dates!!


Best part of the night...when they played I'll Be by Edwin McCain!!

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful stop me and steal my breathe. And emeralds from mountains that thrust towards the sky never revealing their depths. And tell me that we belong together dress it up with the trappings of love. I'll be captivating, I'll hang from yours lips instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above. And i'll be your crying shoulder. I'll be love suicide and I'll be better when I'm older. I'll be the greatest fan of your life. And rain falls angry on the tin roof as we lye awake in my bed. And your my survivor, you're my living proof my love is alive and not dead.

Oh how i love that song...

TMNT

So tomorrow...SUPER HERO DAY!!! And I have a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shiiiiirtttt!!!! haha Seriously, these guys are the best. My favorite is Michelangelo.

He wears an orange mask and wields nunchaku." haha...yes I JUST googled TMNT. haha

So yeah! I have a shirt! I'm gonna wear it! Cause these guys are my heros hands down!

Coach Carter

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness which frightens us. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world there is nothing enlightening about shrinking so other people dont feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do it’s not jsut in some of us its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear. Our presence automatically liberates others.

:D :D

Allen you are still my hero!!

The Courtyard

Woo hoo! I love descriptive essays...actually I really didn't mind this essay. 1.) It only had to be a page...2.) It was about something you actually wanted to write about.

So anyway...this is what I decided to do my essay on. The courtyard. I was trying to think of something that not many people would write about...so yes, I don't think anyone is going to do the courtyard in the back of the Best Western Hotel in Jupiter Florida..I would bet I'm the only one who has actually been there. Anyways while I was at spring training I was really frustrated during the whole trip and this place kept me from going insane. It was outside of the hotel and it almost seemed like nobody knew about it, because I was the only one that was ever there. It was simply amazing. :D

At first glance, one may not quite recognize the potential of this place. It does not boast its beauty for unworthy bystanders, but rather conserves its magnificence for those willing to search for it. Its modesty is appreciated in this materialistic city.

The light shines on the concrete arches and pathways and everything seemingly insignificant becomes beautiful

Until another humble person comes along, all the courtyward can do is waith patiently and save its magnificence for another gratful spectator in search for silence.

Alright guys...it is now FOOTBALL SEASON!!


Football is to Wilga as baseball is to Craig...but since I consider myself part of the Wilga family (whether they like it or not)...I get just as stoked for this time of year.


So our Pumas lost to the Huskies...dang. It was SO lame because me and Madeline were basically dying having to sit in the stands. I now see why some people who don't really like football DON'T really care for going to the games. I think after being on the field all season last year, me and Madeline have come to the conclusion that it really just IS NOT the same. It is a COMPLETELY different atmosphere being down there with the coaches and players. It's not even comparable. So me and Mad were going through TORTURE having to just sit there and watch, wanting to be down there with them so badly.


Long story short, we are gonna try to do stats again. I praaaaay they have a job for us!

Fascinating

Last night, I was talking to my Twin on AIM about school work or some dreadful subject like that and then randomly she asked me what I thought the most fascinating part of this world was. She said that over the past few days she has had been thinking about this question a lot. She went on to explain how nature for her is the most fascinating thing in this world. It was good answer, I thought. :)

So I began to explain my answer. I didn't want to say a certain person, because people are just made in the image of the big man upstairs. I couldn't say God, because Jasmine told me anything besides that (knowing that's what i would immediately say). And no certain animal, building, event, or plant on the earth seemed worthy of the most fascinating thing in the world....

I ended up saying that the sky, music, and faith are the most fascinating things on Earth. It seems that they have such a power over us that nobody can describe. I mean when we look at the sky, listen to music, or pray at night, EVERYTHING just becomes SO much clearer almost to the point of an epiphany. It is unexplainable and incomprehensible, yet never questioned. Nobody knows who or what stimulates these emotions inside us, but it's just the greatest feeling ever. It's indescribable what gives us the motivation, incentive, and inspiration to do the things we do, but I know that all of us have experienced it by spending time looking at the sky, listening to music, and in prayer.

And these things won't pity you, they force you to listen to yourself, and NOBODY else. They give you the answer and an understanding that you previously could not find on your own.

That is why I think that they are the most fascinating things in this world. ..

Eh

This is my best friend guys. Airborne lemon-lime flavored!!

I haaaate being sick with a passion....cause when i get sick...I GET SICK!

Oh medicine how I loathe thee...Ye shall never cure me...Me shall never love ye. hehe

That was my ode to medicine...

Rybo and Kendal Show

Ahh guys okay sooo i'm so excited this video got uploaded on to here! Here is the story of trying to get it uploaded....

1.) i tried to do it straight from windows movie maker...fail.

2.) I uploaded it onto my youtube account after 20 minutes.

3.) i copy pasted the URL

4.) It worked!

5.) I deleted the video from my youtube account and in doing so deleted the thing from my blog

6.) I published my video and then waited 3 hours for it to load on to here!! While I went to Target. haha

Anyway...what this is...is a mix of a BUNCH of videos that me and Ryan made while we were in Pine Mountain Lake. We would get board after dinner so we would just go into my room and play with the different voices..but munchkin was our favorite for sure. So we made about 40 or so videos and then I took the funny parts from each one and just made a video on Windows...a.k.a my form of procrastination for summer assignments. I hope you get at least some kind of laugh, or chuckle, or smile...haha because it definitely kept us laughing FOREVER!

MMD

So I think that you have all had things that made your day. I know for me...after someone does something funny/stupid, or I just come across something that brought me just tiny bit of joy, I say that it made my day (MMD). So when my sister, Marie, posted this video on facebook I just had to say MMD. I think that this video is kiiind of like dog abuse...but kiiind of hilarious and sooo incredibly adorable. haha. So yes...MMD.

Amazed By You

Wow, today has been indescribable...and not in a good way until now. A friend of mine is trying to make the hardest decision of her life and the stress is taking its toll on her. We have been over the situation time and again, yet we have never come to a conclusion. She has been looking for a sign from up above for a while to help her choose what path she wants to go on and I am pretty sure that if she reads my friends blog, she will most definitely find the answer.

So basically right now, I am in complete awe of You, I am truly amazed. There has been too many days of us being indecisive, for this to be just another coincidence. You have definitely spoke, loud and clear, but hopefully she can hear You. Dumb statement...she will hear You for sure.

"You dance over me, while I am unaware. You sing all around but I never hear the sound. Lord I'm amazed by You and how You love me. You paint the morning sky with miracles. My hope will always stand for You hold me in Your hands. Lord I'm amazed by You and how You love me. How deep, how wide, how great is Your love for me?"
