| this song is beautiful and
gloriously depicts my soul's struggle as of late. i am so desperate for
my Jesus right now and am finding that i pour out completely so easily
these days. i am constantly in need of refilling and peaceful times of
renewal. i pray that today holds great romance for you and the lover of
your soul. seek hard after Him. you will find treasures greater than
you can hope for.
Time Takes Its Toll On Us
Have I become a soul so numb
All too familiar
Words of gold have all grown cold
Over and over
I need to see you in the sunrise
Time takes its toll on us
And it tries its best just to steal our love
And we bend and we break but we don’t give up
Time takes its toll on us
From the start you touched my heart
And turned it in to something more
Beautiful, you’re beautiful
So why does it have to be so hard
To see you in the sunrise
Time takes, time takes away
Love remains, love remains
-Bebo Norman
love,
me

| does anyone even read
these anymore? does anyone have xanga anymore? who knows?.... well, i'm
coming back. i've been away and now i see the sheer beauty of xanga.

um, here's my favorite verse of the week:
"...he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things." psalm 107:9
if you're here, i love you. have a blessed day!
peace,

| hey, hey. hows the week
goin? hopefully you're not too far into the Christmas break mode to
still be doing schooly-type stuff. i know its been hard for me to stay
motivated...luckily im at college so i have more time to do stuff- less
"in-class time". yea! you gotta appreciate the beauty of college
life...its truly magnificent. i had my last Lab Practical (basically, a
big test in A & P Lab) today, so the classes for this semester are
officially over! yes!!
thursday is "Dead Day" here
on campus- we essentially have the day off to study but its the day of
every semester when there are lots of parties and random fun things
going on...ill be sleeping in, going to a work christmas party at noon,
and that night im going to some Jazz Club in downtown Knoxville with
some friends- really exciting. then, i have 2 exams friday, and
saturday evening im going to go get pizza & see The Lion, The
Witch, and The Wardrobe with the Honors group:) very stoked.
sunday is church at True Life, then at the Griffiths for small group-
its our Christmas party that night! i'll study sunday afternoon
& i have nothing monday, so that will be a big study day. 2 exams
tuesday, 1 wednesday and then that afternoon my mama & ashleigh
will be here to take me home!!! it will be a long break- i'll be home
the 15th through the the 8th:) im looking forward to it.
okay, i just got back from
FCA- its my Prayer & Praise here, its incredibly filling and
uplifting- and i am really fired up. i have been really working on my
pride and humility lately. i have been so motivated to be a living
sacrifice and a pure vessel for carrying Christ's love. guys, He's so
awesome! here are some of the things that really hit me tonight:
>>how can we waste the very breath and life God's so
gracefully paid for? how can we just live a normal life when we know
the heart of a passionate living GOD?? how can we not spill over with
His message- how can we hold it in and be so selfish after
we say we love Him with all our hearts and have given our lives to Him??
>>when we go through struggles in our spiritual
life- when rain is pouring down on us- and we want to turn back, we
must know what God sees...He treasures the times when we are unsure and
broken & crying out to Him in that thunderstorm. those times are
the times when He is whispering to us: "Don't be scared. Daddy's got
you. I know the way home, and I love you." He sees those
experiences as some of the most intimate and lovely times with us
because then, He was able to hold us so close and whisper His love to
our open hearts.
{ "If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all." Isaiah 7:9 }
sorry this is so long- thanks for reading it! i guess i just started
pouring out my heart;) i love you & am praying for you. let Jesus
live through you today.

| ........Psalm 20........
May the LORD answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
May he send you help from the sanctuary
and grant you support from Zion.
May he remember all your sacrifices
and accept your burnt offerings.
May he give you the desire of your heart
and make all your plans succeed.
We will shout for joy when you are victorious
and will lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the LORD grant all your requests.
Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he answers him from his holy heaven
with the saving power of his right hand.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
O LORD, save the king!
Answer us when we call!
that, my friend, is my prayer for you. stay connected to
our God during this season. keep Him as the first love of your heart
and desire of your every day...i love you!

| hey hey! okay, no one probably reads this thing anymore,
but if you do, hey! ummm, so i just was home from college for the first
time. for 5 days. i can't wait until christmas break ( which is 2 &
1/2 weeks away!) so i can see everyone...and actually do stuff with
everyone. i really enjoyed being home. it was definitely weird and
different, but i love it in ohio- i really miss being in beautiful
Granville with everyone all the time. wow.
school's been great and i really like going in
Tennessee...i love being here. if you need a college to go to...come to
Carson-Newman! :) you can at least come visit here... God's been
growing & changing me in huge ways since school started. i've been
so blessed by everything he's done for me. i have struggled being away
from my friends and with matt being in SC, but God's been nearer to me
and i've loved him more through this time. i've taken road trips, gone
to some great shows in Knoxville, made amazing new friends to encourage
me while i'm away from you guys, lead worship here, and missed coffee
houses like none other;) it's been good for me.
well, i have to work in a little while and i wanna catch a
nap first if i can. i love you and will hope to see you when i'm home
in a few weeks! <><abi
