Go the Distance

one of my favorite songs of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7YRe5uvLws&feature=related

Kylie and Cassie: Weekdays on NBC

Cassie (my dog) and I could have our own sitcom. Our relationship is a strange one. See...I feel like God gave Cassie to me to learn some things about life. He sure has a sense of humor.

Cassie, is too much like me sometimes in all the wrong senses. She's loud...whiny...doesn't know what she wants most of the time, and she...as my good friend Stephen would put it "abuses the power of being cute". She's obnoxious and she gets away with it. I mean...look at her little fluffy face! She lays down smack in the middle of my bed after I've made it, refuses to move, gets up at an ungodly hour of the morning and starts whining at me for attention cause she's bored, she sits by the couch when I'm reading and trips me when I get up, she won't go outside when it's raining but oh boy can she be a pain! I've been so close to getting rid of her...

I guess now I know how my parents feel about raising me. :P Ha. I mean I don't trip them when they stand up or lots of other dog things that Cass does...but I can sure be whiny and obnoxious sometimes! And really difficult...and loud...but they have the same philosophy about me that I have about Cass.

I love her...so I guess she's gotta stay. :P

just a random look in to my incredibly ordinary life.

My friend Job

"When I get to heaven, I wanna go find Job, I wanna ask a few hard questions, I wanna know what he knows. " - Sara Groves (What I Thought I wanted)

I'm not gonna try to preach about the book of Job, but basically it's one of my favorite books of the Bible, and when I have a hard time, I turn to the book of Job. Cause basically, I've got life so easy compared to Job, and it reminds me that God's in control of all situations. Even everything Job went through, and every little thing I'm going through now.

¹³"If you prepare your heart,
you will stretch out your hands toward him.
¹⁴If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,
and let not injustice dwell in your tents.
¹⁵Surely then you will lift up your face without blemish;
you will be secure and will not fear.
¹⁶You will forget your misery;
you will remember it as waters that have passed away.
¹⁷And your life will be brighter than the noonday;
its darkness will be like the morning.
¹⁸And you will feel secure, because there is hope;
you will look around and take your rest in security. [ Job 11:13-18]

"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted." [Job 42:2]

Ahhh I just love those verses. :) There is hope and God is unstoppable.

Room

No I didn't completely redo my room...My walls are wood and I like to think I live in a treehouse. I'm in the process of covering the walls with photos and inspirational quotes (I got the quotes thing down!) And now I've moved a keyboard into my room so I can start practicing not only music theory but the piano I hope to be learning soon. So here it is. :)

I placed the keyboard by the window, to better serve my inspiration...though there isn't much of a view anyway...But yeah! Obviously the photos fail to show my desk for school and my dresser and such, but yes, this is it!

And no it is not messy. I like to think of it as artistic.
