I couldn't resist. The theory was way too interesting.

breaking out of school and skin

I have nothing insightful to say other than. . .

I only have one more blasted day of school left!

That's pretty much it other than the fact that I'm breaking out again and I'm going to the dermatologist Friday.

~fill me

So is this what life will be like? That's pretty uneventful. It probably won't really be this way.

I just sort of realized that I do like random phone calls. I used to not like them that much, but they make me smile. ;-D To think that people call to talk to me, just to me. They can't ask for anyone else or just leave me to talk to anyone else because the only person around is me. They make me feel good.

I should have gone running today, instead I took a nap. Now I feel gross. . . and like I wasted all afternoon.

And since I'm not doing much I think I shall go outside. Have a quiet time. Just get my Sara Bailey chance to breathe. . in the evening.

thank you!

I feel like I've been in a polo all weekend. I wore a lavender one yesterday to solo and ensemble. Today I wore a minty turquoise one all day. Speaking of solo and ensemble, that went pretty well. A superior and an excellent.
Next week is going to be quite busy. Something different every night. Monday I've got the INTERACT meeting; tuesday, band practice right after school and Bradley's chorus concert or the FCA rally later that night; Wednesday, church and signing practice; Thursday I've got a band concert; and on Friday I might be going with Andrew, Collin, and Kevin to see Austin Crane in Hartsville.
I'm ready for school to get out! Of course, who isn't? Well actually, I'm not looking forward to school getting out because the class of 2006 will be graduating and that will be. . . i'm not sure what word is appropriate here because sad doesn't convey the emotion i am feeling for all of those seniors.

Don't go against what you know is right and what you know is God's will. Forcing something isn't a good thing. You miss out on so much peace, and oh how wonderful peace is! Go read Romans 5:1-5, maybe you'll get what I'm saying if you don't already.

words

"But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."
-Matthew 12:36-37

Ambassador Camp.. and Prom!

yes! so I FINALLY got the chance to go and a pretty good time. And am quite excited about this summer. Pictures might be available at a later date.

Oh yes, so prom was absolutely lovely and I really had a GREAT time. I actually danced this year, and I think that if Andrew and I had stayed a bit longer I would have danced a good bit more. But Andrew seemed rather tired, and there would be no point without someone to dance with..well, actually there would I guess, just to have fun, but anyway. Here are a few pictures, but there are none of us actually at prom.

This is probably one of "my" favorite tasks of prom..just kidding, I really am no good at pinning the this thing. . ."Mom!"

Most everyone that was out at Blair's grandparents house, minus a few: from back left to right bottom: Braden, Andrew, Bryce, Duralle, Ronnie, Richie, Davidson, Landon, Kris, Justin, Blair, Elizabeth, Regina, Andria, Cory, Megan, me, Madeline, and Angel!

greatness..

My God is not done with me yet.

He can mold me.

It's good to have my father home!!!

Elizabeth's birthday party..

" I broke glass."

And Daddy is home!!!

Yesterday was a good and funny day!

spring break..in a few words

well, i got my first set of stitches over spring break. Ask me about it next time you see me if you want to hear the story.


Oh, and I found my prom dress. It's a fantastic shade of green. Well, actually there are many many shades of green (and a little blue).


I also finished the fifth Harry Potter book and have now moved on to the sixth.

I think I will go read that now and then get ready for bed.


This morning I read in Isaiah that "...tongues of fire lick up straw..." it gave me an interesting mental picture.



"And they were calling to one another:
Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory"
-Isaiah 6:3


I'm pretty sure i subconsciously stole Lindsay's sometimes formant of her xanga for my posts..

Let it all out

"and today i'll trust you with a confidence of a man who's never known defeat,
but tomorrow upon hearing what I did, i will stare at you in disbelief..
Oh inconsistant me
Crying out for consistancy...
remember the end will justify, the pain it took to get us there."

-Relient K





"Do not be in a hurry to leave the king's presence.."
Ecclesiastes 8:3



Pray for my daddy. He's in Mexico..and there's no set date for his return.

Acquire the Fire!

Acquire the Fire was so fun. It was an awesome experience, and I don't know why my church doesn't go! Anyway, that's not my point. Not only was ATF itself fun, but so was meeting all the people that went with us! I finally met Ben Miller from Ambassador Camp and I must say, he is a rather hilarious guy! And I love the face..I can't even explain that one. Oh yeah, so unfortunatly for Andrew, Collin, Kevin, and I Kevin got sick and didn't even get to go to ATF! It was pretty crazy, but his ticket sure didn't go to waste! Ben the Army Man got to use it! He was pretty cool too. I really respected all he does and people like him. (Andrew (who's a little cut off, Ben, Collin, and Ben). The group was just fantastic. I can't say enough about all the people I met (or the ones I already knew like Rebekah and Lindsay)! And the Preddy's (the people who we stayed with) were absolutely wonderful! They were so nice!
The skit was really awesome, and worship was great. There were times that I wished Lisa Gungor was a man though. She was a cool worship leader, all the same. God is so amazing. I praise Him now for his creations.

Rebekah!

Lindsay!
I had a wonderful time!

My Bones Family Horcrux Theory

Supposing that all knowledge of Helga Hufflepuff's cup being one of Voldemort's seven horcruxes is completely correct, we must ask ourselves, where is it? I, Ginny Weasley, believe it is somewhere hidden among the Bones' family treasures.
Susan Bones, Harry Potter's fellow sixth year, is put into Hufflepuff immediately after the Sorting Hat's placement on her head. We find more information about her family as the series progress. Mr. and Mrs. Bones, Susan's grandparents are killed during the first war against You-Know-Who. Before their death they gave birth to three children; Edgar, Amelia, and Susan's father. Edgar was an original member of the Order of the Phoenix. Edgar is said to be "a great wizard," according to Mad-Eye Moody. During the war Edgar was killed with his wife and children (note the plural form). Amelia Bones was Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, but is never said to have been in either Order (I am not sure if this is in anyway significant). Amelia also was over Harry's hearing. Tonks continually reminded Harry that because Amelia was hones and fair he would be sure to get off. Is Tonks' point more than describing Amelia's character? The key trait of Hufflepuff is fairness. Why is this revealed to us? Later in the books it is announced that Amelia has been killed. Strangely enough, Fudge, who is denying Lord Voldemort's return claims that Voldemore himself murdered Amelia. When counted, there have been no less that seven deaths in the Bones family, tracing back to Lord Voldemort and/or his followers. Why has J.K. Rowling included so much about this family (other than to make this theory wrong)? Why hasn't Susan's immediate family been attacked? Are they next?
-Ginny Weasley

Read..

James 4:1-12

It gave me some interesting thoughts today.

this weekend

I left for Sumter Friday right after school. Of course it was a wonderful time. I hung out with Megan and Elizabeth Friday night. I realized just how much Elizabeth really is like Andrew. Amazing.

Today Andrew, Lindsay, Alyssa, Latete, Rebekah Richardson, Ronnie, Brett and I all went out to Swan Lake, one of my favorite places in Sumter. It's so pretty, and I love the Love Tree. Lindsay took a lot of pictures and there might be some tomorrow, but no promises at the moment. It was just a beautiful day.

The homeschoolers had their prom Friday night and Alyssa and Erin looked beautiful!

Lindsay and I got some chatting time in this morning. It was nice. Wow, that seems like such a long time ago and tomorrow starts early. It's time for bed.

our one year anniversary (nicole and me, that is!)

""there are many many crazy things
that will keep me loving you
and with your permission, may i list a few?

the way you wear your hat
the way you sip your tea
the memory of all that
oh not they can't take that away from me
the way your smile just beams
the way you sing off key
the way you haunt my dreams
oh no they can't take that away from me...
i will always hold the memory of
they way you hold your knife
the way we danced until three
the way you changed my LIFE..."

LOL frank sinatra! happy anniversery!!! Love you" -Latete (Nicole)

So I basically love Nicole. And I'm so blessed that I know her! I cannot believe I've known her for a year.
I called her, actually Andrew did, Erin, and Alyssa to let them know we've known each other for a year and how great it is to know them!

:-D

I cannot attempt to put into words the worship of tonight. God is so amazing. I was listening to Thomas tonight at SNL and my thoughts just started to trail off. Some where, in the mists of all of them, I thought about how awesome it would be if Collin, Kevin, Andrew, and I got together tonight and just talked about out spiritual lives right now and how we can pray about each other before Acquire the Fire. I really wanted this to work out. I called Kevin as soon as I could and he sounded really up to the talk. Collin did when I talked to him right after church. Andrew wasn't so sure, but amazingly enough it was one of the greatest things God ever put on my heart to do. We talked about what we needed to do right now and things we'd done in our pasts. We talked about a ton of things and it was just lovely. It was a great opportunity to talk with the three boys (and really individuals) I've spent the most time with over the past year or so. Of the long time we've been such good friends, (though we have had downtimes) we've never had anything like that. I want to do it so much more! I want this sort of fellowship.

The four of us really must be the oddest people at the high school, but I love it. How many people can talk about their relationship with Christ in one of their front yards and just enjoy themselves? I love those boys!

I love you LORD!

jealous

I am so jealous that Andrew can play the piano...and I can't.

kevin and andrew make me smile

Tonight was fun. Andrew and Kevin came over for dinner and we just hung out (on my family's new furniture) afterwards. It was nice, and even though we didn't talk for a long time or talk very deeply, I felt so close to them. Closer that I've felt to both of them, at the same time, in a long time. I can NOT wait until Acquire the Fire!

"So I prayed, Oh dear LORD, Feel me up, make me whole.." -Relient K

Go read Colossians 3:2-10 and renew yourself.

It's SPRING!

Yep, in my book it is offically spring, even though it's not even really the season. Today seemed to mark it. Boys at school had on shorts and it made me smile to myself. It's time to see flowers, to feel clean, and I go outside without a jacket. There were birds singing this afternoon when Andrew and I went walking. Oh the weather was so nice! And there were so many people at the park other than Andrew and me. Landon, Hannah Marsh, and Beka were there too. While Andrew and I were walking we decided it run. Yes, I know, Andrew and I aren't really the sort of running people, but we did run. And it really made me feel good even though it wasn't very long (I really out of shape!). The whole day was rather refreshing.

Please continue to not only pray for Mrs. Reta Smith, but also for her family, especially her husband and little Garrett. I don't know how they're going through this.

I hope Andrew and I get to go to Sumter this weekend..

"You are more beautiful than anyone one EVER! Everyday you're the same you never change. NO NEVER!" ~David Crowder Band

I want to be the girl that sang this song and showed that love I have for Him with everyone. I want to be like Him and never change from that girl that He shines through! I have to be that girl again first.

"How could you be so good to me?!" ~David Crowder Band

"Over coming these obstacles is over coming my fears. Never under estimate my Jesus. You're telling me that there's no hope, I'm telling you, you're wrong!..." Relient K

"I AM FREE! I am free to run! I am free to dance! I am free to live for you! I am free!" Acquire the Fire CD

You know, I really am free to live for Him, to worship His greatness and not be told by the government not to, I should exercise this like I know it. Right now it seems to be a useless freedom. "How great is our God?"

I want to be the loud mouth who was loud because she was bursting with love from her Jesus! I NEED TO BE

BOLD!
