| The Presence of the Lord is Here |

All I have to say is that I am so happy that I chose "Musical Instruments in the Church" for my research paper. This morning in chapel I was exposed to a worship that I have never payed attention to before. I have been learning through the research of this paper, that there are so many ways to praise Him. It's not about going through the motions but about being in spirit and in truth. Towerhigh played a wonderful song (requested by Air) during praise and worship. It began slowly but as it went on I truly felt the Holy Spirit moving, and tears about to start streaming down my face. I just kept saying to God "Please not now." I know that at that moment nothing was going to stop me from feeling that presence. That was a moment that I have to work on. It's terrible for me to attend a Christian school, yet something is holding me back from completely letting myself go during worship. Air did though. Even though I didn't let go completely, I did feel the surge. It is an undescribable feeling and I just have to wonder to myself if any of my peers felt that surge. It definately was strong. At times and through certain denominations, it seems that praise is singing from a hymnal, but I'm here to tell you today that it is so much more. God is not limited. He knows all and wants to give you your blessing. Song of the Day: The Presence of the Lord is Here~ Byron Cage Quote of the Day: TGIF. Thank God I'm Forgiven |

I have been through stress for the past 4 days. First, we have to stay at school until 4:20 for the next 2 weeks because of snow days. Second, it was finals week and I have been studying for tests like crazy. Third, the washing machine broke down. Fourth, I went to coconuts today and they didn't have my Hanson cd, and last, but I guarantee you not least, I got a C on my report card. Yes, you heart right, a C. What is going on with this cruel world? When I was notified of the C I kinda denied it, yet accepted it. I then began to cry silently on the bench. I dried up and the Pink One gave me a chocolate to clam my nerves. That really does calm me down. I guess, though, I wasn't the best person I could be today. I got pretty pissed at anyone who came across my path after the C news. Actually I'm still a tad upset, but sometimes we just have to let go. All I wanna say is, even through the rough times we have to remember that "All things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." Meaning that even though there are trials and tribulations things will always work out in the end. Song of the Day: Open the Eyes of my Heart |

All I can say is Whew... Oh how much do I love the music of Hanson? Let me count the ways... Tomarrow is the big day. The single, "Penny and Me", will be released. It's not so much for that song in particular, but more for the extra that is one there...Mmm...so good. Finally, I mean am I allowed to say that? FINALLY! Hanson is finally letting me become a Senior in peace. Ever since '97 they have had a hold on my heart. Oh Hanson, they are just wonderful writers, musicians, they have so much talent...gee, whoa. Man, I cannot erase this smile from my face. But deep down, do I really want to? I have just cause to be happy. Hanson... Song of the Day : Every Word I Say ~ Hanson Thought of the Day: Where can I scrap up $15.00 Quote of the day: Can't stop. Cant break. Who's driving? Sometimes there's no denyin'. So today I feel I cant lose. I'm letting go which I knew. I want you for always and (something) every word I say. I'm a fool, and I don't care... (something) every word I say.... |

I just love Saturdays. I slept in this morning because last night I was up late looking up information on my research paper topic "Musical instruments in the church." Anyways, I got up around 9 and my mom says to me, "Katrina, get ready" I say "For What?" she says, "We are going shoe shopping." I get new shoes, which, by the way, are blue. Therefore I need new stockings...eh. Talk about a relaxing day. After we got home, I went to sleep for about 2 more hours. I then woke up and got on the treadmill for 40 minutes... Oh yeah, I am reading "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" again, and that is were I take my quote of the day from...

The last 2 days have been somewhat of a humbling experience. I have never realized how many people are just letting themselves go for sex. I am, in my own right, trying my best not to sound like the colony in which Hester Prynne was persecuted, yet how can someone so easily give up their purity to another who could care less about thier being. I'm not partucularly saying that I am a friend of this person, or even that I enjoy the company of this person, yet she has touched my heart. How dare I let my guard down, yet I digress. We are now officially a minority. I am officially the president of a club that has so few members that it is almost like a secret society. What is going on? How could this be? Is it just me? How can this happen? I'm trying to figure out in my own mind if I am wrong for feeling this way, If I seem like a snob for feeling this way, or if I should stand my ground and continue in this pure but lonely walk. Am I wrong? Is it that I missed some secret meeting about how teenage like should be conducted? Who knows. It's Ok...I'm fine, it's just that we, as Christian young ladies and young gentlemen, should stand against that kind of stuff. Whew...Ok. I realize "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" and I know that everything can be remedied through repentance, but just the point that it is taken so lightly makes me tearful on the inside.

I was so comfortable in bed this morning that it was painful getting up. I kept negociating the time I would get out of bed, but I remembered that I had to feed Pooshie, therefore that broke the straw. As I was getting up I had this great country song in my head from when I was watching GAC last night. I got it this morning (shh..) School, eh, the regular I guess. I haven't seen Jan in a while. Hopefully, she will be there at bible study tomarrow. It's so rainy around here. It's just one of those days when you just sleep. Painge was in "sand land" all day... I mean really Song of the day : Tracy Byrd - Don't take her, she's all I got Thought of the day: Go buy "Naked" juice. It's healthy and delicious: www.nakedjuice.com |

I just hate writing personal stuff on here, but I guess I'll just have to deal with that until I find a better alternative. Where have I been? Well, I've been sick lately and I just didn't feel like complaining on the web. On Saturday my mom bought me "Wave Race Blue Storm." I think I have been asking her for that game since December, and since I kept a deal she bought it. You know, all around I'm feeling better. I don't think that this is a day to complain or even entertain the thought because God has blessed me and has shown me immense favor. That is enough to smile about each day :D Also, this is the last week of the 3rd quarter, so in about a week or so I will be getting my report card and showing more smiles. All is well. Song of the Day : Naked- Celine Dion Thought of the Day: That juice was really good. |

Before I start with what is going on I have to write this dream I just had. Well, as you already know, I'm a junior that attends a private Christian school. I've been there so long that I know the Administration very well. Anyways, Last night I had this dream about Jan and PS leaving for good and getting a new pastor to take their positions. In the dream Mary tells me this. I then preceed to go downstairs to the school office and there was Jan. She looked like she had just broken the news to the office staff. I go up to her and touch her arm. She then carressed my arm and gives me a sad look. I then say(as we are hugging) "You can't go. You have to wait until I'm gone. You just can't go." Then she says nothing and continues to say her goodbyes to the rest of the staff. I then went behind the office counter and sat in Mrs.H's seat and started to cry, well, cry isn't the best description. I started to wail. It really felt like I was crying, because the entire next year (in the dream) felt like I was going to have no one. So I wake up and go downstairs. As I'm walking dow the steps the song "Since I lost my Baby" was in my head. I tell my mom the dream. As I told her, tears started welling up in my eyes and I got emotional yet again... On Monday, I went up to the womens circle meeting and listened to Jans message on the "Pledge of Purity" which was very good. Today is a bible study day and It is taking the power of God to help me not eat any of that delicious pizza. And I won't. BTW Hanson will be on the Ryan Secrest show today.
