| hey everyone! been a long time.. but i really appreciate reading everyone's posts! so i figured that i should write something too  Although i don't have much to say.. this semester has been one of the hardest of my life. Right now, i'm learning that it's ok.. ha. crazy thing to learn. i see that even when everything seems totally bizarre and nothing is right, God is in control. it doesn't make Him any less in control when i can't see past the bad times. boy, am i thankful. i hope that i am forever changed by what i've learned this semester and i know that it's just the beginning. but how great is our God! wow. family is here now, ben and cousin drew are heading to the movies. Dad just got home and Mom is off fixing a poor ladies teeth that broke and her whole family is at her house. crazy. i'm going to help get things together and then Dad and i are singing tonight at the Christmas program at church. i'm humbled.. Merry Christmas everyone! "we celebrate the day that You were born to die, so one day i could pray for You to save my life" we love you, Jesus! | | |
| To tell you the truth, i get super excited to write something new here on Xanga, and then when i finally sit down, push back my sleeves and start typing, i lose all train of thought. But i guess that's alright! Maybe it'll turn into something good
I'm officially home for Christmas break, what a first semester it has been!! So far since I've been home, my mom has had surgery on her right hand for carpal tunnel. My mom, who like most of us, is far from being ambidextrous. Let's just say, because my mom is unable to do most things, it has been interesting while i am learning how to cook and to do other odd things around the house that i really had no idea anyone ever had to do. Mom's are pretty neat. I like mine a whole bunch.
I've been thinking a lot lately, trying to open up and be vulnerable to God (something that I'm not very good at). It sure has been cool and interesting too. and.. yeah. My friends at Wayne give me a bad time because i really stink with words sometimes and stop mid-sentence... so this might be where my thoughts end
everybody, enjoy these next couple of days, remembering the Beautiful King that came to save us!
With Joy,
Chrissy

* Investing in people's loves is definately worth it.
* I'm excited to go sky diving right in to what God is doing RIGHT NOW.
* Pistachio pudding is my favorite GAG food and i could eat it every day... mmm.

* Get to go home for Thanksgiving.. man, home is a long ways away..
* I ran out of quarters.. Love you all!! | | |
| I have a "How to" speech do on friday, right? So the OBVIOUS choice for a topic was "How to do the Hokey Pokey." Now, while researching this topic thoroughly, i stumbled upon this and it just made me laugh. The Hokey Pokey, by William Shakespeare O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.
-- by "William Shakespeare"  hee hee

| Hey ya'll My my.. it's kinda fun to come and just type on this thing for awhile! i apoligize to any faithful readers for not posting anything in quite some time. I realize, more now than ever, that i am just not very good with words, especially after alot has happened and you just don't even know where to begin. But if you're curious, i am doing well Classes are going pretty well, even hanging in there with Chemistry! Social-y stuff is pretty good too. Living in the very outgoing Berry Hall has been a good thing. It's definately easy to talk to people and everyone is very welcoming. Bible study has been going well too, we have alot of fun. It's really cool for leah and i to get to know everyone and have them over. i like that. Tonight, I'm going to see The Guardian. If i remember, i'll let you know how it is! Ahhhh!!!! Melani's here!!!!! bye everyone | | |
