STOP IT!

STOP IT!!!

The Lost Get Found.

So this song pretty much works with the sermon on Wednesday at my church. I and the rest of the church was challenged to rise up - stop being a lazy christian (if a true christian could ever be lazy... Jesus sure wasn't) and STAND UP. Pray. Fast. Reach for the lost. I heard this song on the radio as I drove to work today and was reminded. I need to listen to the advice Jesus keeps throwing in my face :)

Hello my friend
I remember when you were
So alive with your wide eyes
Then the light that you had in your heart was stolen
Now you say that it ain't worth stayin'
You wanna run but you're hesitatin'
I'm talkin' to me

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it
There's a girl on the streets, she's cryin'
There's a man whose faith is dyin'
Love is calling you

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

Why do we go with the flow
Or take an easier road?
Why are we playin' it safe?
Love came to show us the way
Love is a chance we should take
I'm movin' out of the way

Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
(Stand out)
Don't let your lights go down
Don't let your fire burn out
(Stand out)
'Cause somewhere, somebody needs a reason to believe
Why don't you rise up now?
Don't be afraid to stand out
That's how the lost get found
The lost get found

So when you get the chance
Are you gonna take it?
There's a really big world at your fingertips
And you know you have the chance to change it

In other news, I am leaving tonight to go with Alison to Dekalb UPC's ladies' conference. Really excited - I love trips where just Ali and I go. I'll probably let you know what I think about it more later. :)

OH! also! Don't let me forget to put up Hillsong concert pictures! :) Or Camp pictures! Or my creations! Keep on me until I do it!!!! My camera is dead and until I find the cord... I'm moving right now so good luck... It'll be dead.

Wow.

Sorry for the lack of postings. I got my sewing machine and I totally stopped paying attention to stuff. but! the sewing machine (and organza fabric I have recently acquired) will prove to be the beginnings of beautiful pictures for you to look at, and I would always rather look at pictures instead of reading words.

I made two shirts for me the last few nights, not to mention I made one of my friends a denim skirt with yellow and white polka dot inset and a matching shirt... and my sister is now the proud owner of a denim skirt that I created out of pants for her. YAY! I'm becoming domestic!! Now if I could just cook, and do my homework, and all that other stuff I need to do...

To do list: (thanks, Riss, for this idea)
1. EDRG homework - Lesson plans, lesson plans, lesson plans!
2. Find more sunset eva sandals from Payless - they are extremely comfortable but none of our Paylesses have anymore... ARG!!
3. Laundry
4. Check out new Passport information and fill out application (AYC mission trip next summer)
5. PRACTICE CAMP SONGS!!!!
6. Convice the boyfriend and his best friend to stay for senior camp...
7. Look at apartment Saturday (yes, I may be moving in with a fellow education major)
8. Try to breathe
9. Enjoy my church's lip sync contest and dinner tonight
10. Round off this list because I hate uneven numbers.

I want to sew. I want to make things. I want to make these!!! for big people! Oh you who did not give me a birthday present, get me a sewing machine! gift cards to hobby lobby and Joanne's! :)

I COOKED SOMETHING!

I actually made a pasta carbonara. with a recipe!!! It was pretty fantastic. Not the actual meal. The making of the meal was fantastic. The actual meal was alright. But making it made me happy!

Sickness :(

I'm sick this week... apparently I've had too much fun the past few days and my body is mad at me for it... just pray for me! I have a huge order due for RCP for Mother's Day... pray children pray.
