i've always had a soft place in my heart for monkeys

isn't this adorable?

awkward

everywhere i go, i see people i know.

sometimes it's fun. other times hide my face and run.

oh my, i just rhymed two lines in row and i didn't know.

okay, seriously, that last one wasn't on purpose. to prove it, i'll post a picture of jay and rach at starbucks for the first time. just kidding...i wouldn't do that to you guys!

and this my friends, this is how much sense i make when i'm behind in homework.

my reading week

my "back" yard
valentine's day "remember when!"
snowmobiling is a partay
my family eating what we love best
weddings are great

i'm really very indecisive

except about things like falling. i like falling down. don't ask why, i just do.

but seriously. i hate decisions. summer job decisions, life decisions, discipline decisions. i'm just not decisive. i love balance. love it. love to compromise and compile and put things together so that i can always get the best of both worlds.

so i'm selfish. yup. i like life to show me how to live and to place the things i want right in my lap. i don't really want to CHOOSE them...and yet if i didn't have the choice, i'd complain and whine that it's not what i wanted. grr.

now i have to choose to go and study...

the list is getting longer...

it's february. and already there are 2 weddings i'm invited to this year. and it just keeps getting longer...

i was informed of yet another engagement this morning! if i count all the engagements of friends of mine (not necessarily all the weddings i'll be invited to) i think the list of weddings this year will be approximately ten. i think last year's count was right around 5. that's doubled, folks!

bring on the babies...

oh, and congratulations to all :) especially wes & ashley, since you're the most recent ones!!

hmmm

that's all folks. that's all you'll get from me for the next week probably...at home with my familia. i think i'm overanalytical and yet oftentimes i'm too emotional.

but

i'm content.

happy reading week!

preaching through singing

i had the greatest time at sanctuary house of prayer on sunday. i sing every sunday in the 230 set, and we sing and pray through the apostolic prayer in eph. 1:17-19.

the prayer is all about revelation, and we were focussing on the power that we as believers in Christ operate in - the power that raised Jesus from the dead.

we often cry out for revelation, but what i really loved about this last sunday was that we really received it as we sang. the words that harv prayed, the words that sue, donna, joe and i sung...they all added up to speak to my heart. it was like listening to a sermon on who i am in Christ. i can trust him. he went down into hell and took back the keys - to give them to his people! we carry his name, we carry his authority. that means our prayers matter! that means we are more than conquerors.

and that is encouraging.
