mmm mmm good stuff!

Yayyyy! I have bunches of great news!! First of all I got a new camera!!!! I'm sooo excited!! :D yay yay yay! Seriously, the day before I left for Iron River I was in wal-mart having the guy go back to get a camera for me! I was gonna buy one! On a whim!! :0 I finally heard a page for me and I snapped out of my sudden terrible idea, told the guy to nevermind and walked away. I started to think of all the things I could use that preciously saved up money on. things that are in dire need! (Such as visiting my sister or all the pressing finances needed for the coffee shop I'm helping to s tart) So everyone and anyone who sees my amazing Uncle Jim family...thank them graciously for me! Tell them I love it and they're amazing. :D Look at it! look at it! Its pink! Its so pretty!!! But speaking of Coffee Shop...yeah. CornerZone is this nice little place three doors down from my house that was already set up as a youth center and has concerts....annnnd is connected with He-Brews coffee and music. (If any of you know about that ;) ) So we had a nice little meeting today and they went through what all of my jobs will be and everything. What they told me I am is a "Head intern" is my name. They said that they want me to be an intern still because they don't know much about me and so they can't put me into leadership. So thats ok huh? My jobs though....are like...a million. Basically I will be running the coffee shop and anythi ng that has to do with coffee. There will be others to deal with the actual venue part of it. But I am running the coffee so they'll need me there for concerts as well. i will be the one hiring people and everything or picking out volunteers. I need to get a lot of things done by next tuesday so they can go over it, show the board and all that good stuff. Things like making a typed copy of what I feel God is calling me to, and when I plan to be working, who I will have working with me, when my plan is to open, and blah blah blah. So. I have a lot of work to do. We went over like...tons of other things and this guy Mike Reynolds who I met a long time ago was there. I was certain when we first met that he had a crush on me, and then he found me on facebook and asked me to share with him my heart on what I hope to do at the coffee shop....over coffee or something. I totally thought he was trying to find a way to ask me out. So when I saw him there today I felt really bad cuz I didn't know he was a part of the cornerzone enough to be a part of our meeting! Like hes one of the people in leadership yo! Oy. I feel a lil stupid. :/ But kinda funny. anyway. Pics of the beautiful place...with my new camera! Introducing Jill! Annnnnd Wilson! These two are heading this opporation and are my go to people. Jill more Than Wilson. Heres the gamer place...I totally set it up Couch and room of many purposes....not yet cleaned out. Ok, first the girl's bathroom. How cool is this!? And then the guys....do you see a difference? ...poor things. How can they be happy when pottying


and...the beautiful kitchen. the things in the kitchen at least



On that note I shall go. I'd like to show you many more pictures...but first I have to get it cleaned up better. I have a lot of stuff going on. People moving out, me moving in.......theres a lot. This thursday I'll be back in there so yeah. Our tentative opening date is December 2nd. :D Yay! yay yay!

I'm thinking about starting another He-Brews Coffee and Music in Menominee Michigan. I'm only 18 but I strongly feel that God has something amazing planned for me no matter what my age is.
He's been telling me that He's gonna pave a path for me. Hes gonna demolish mountains and make the valleys level to show me the path I'm going. I'm seeing a path with this He-Brews Menominee, but I'm waiting for the "go for it" from God.

When I was thinking about it later I thought "well, we'll be needing a pastor as well." as soon as I thought that I had a picture in my mind of my dad's very good friend who was a paster. He ended up dying, but his son is now with us in He-Brews Iron River. I had an immediate picture of him behind a pulpit. :) It was kinda exciting to me. My only problem is that I'm single. I love being single. But if I were to start a venue there would be musicians my age coming through and I'm rediculously stupid sometimes. So perhaps the Lord will wait for me to be married. Or maybe He has something greater for me planned. I do not know. I'm waiting for those mountains to be leveled. I'm waiting to see the clear path that He is creating.

Prayer Request: that the Lord will show me this path, and teach me how to get there and lead me on that old worn path of righteousness :D

I would first of all recommend everyone to make sure to have more than one blog. Not 0, not 1, maybe two or three.
People like me have multiple personalities! I need one for my family to read, one for Jesus to read, one for me to vent, one for my friends and so on and so forth. I think if God doesn't mind you having more than one than do it! :D
But...BEWARE! For not one thing should be able to take over your life. It is dangerous to be on the computer too much. So dont do it!!

Now. If you'll excuse me, I still have 4 blogs to update so I will be able to talk to my friends on facebook as I update that and my myspace at the same time. I better go fast because I don't know if I'll be able to spend the usual 5 minuets with God that I sort of stuff into my day each day. Oops, there goes a minuet. Now it'll be 4 minuets with Him. Oh well. He's a big God. He doesn't need much time

Sugarloaf with friends

Sooo sugarloaf mountain!

I went with some friends to the top of the world. Really it was more like a race up and down because Matt was moving so quickly. :/ ah well. :D
It was good anyway Here are some picatures (pica pica)





This is Troy

















Sarah (The only cook) and Matt (Her Boyfriend)
















Circle of life!


















Sadly, we had to say goodbye to Matt....








Just to show off how pretty it is! (Haha! Are you jealous?)

Well.
I still don't have a camera...and mom is doing this new "awesome" thing where she puts all the pictures on her camera into a cd so that nobody has a chance to see them before they're gone!
Isn't it wonderful?
no.
Although we can use the cds whenever...but who HONESTLY is going to go and get a cd, put it in the computer, pull it up from whatever frightening category it may be in, go through the many pictures taken from that cd, find one, and finally use it?
no way.

Soo. all this has been said to say...I need a camera. Everyone will suffer when I do not have a camera. Do you know why? Because I won't be putting any pictures up! Guess what Mike did? He cut his hair! Do you know what he looks like? NO! Why? Because I don't have a camera.
This is blackmail people. I need a camera!:D
MOM!

Continuing on with my life...Red Lobster. The end.
I need to go buy black socks. The end doubled.

Now, I'm sure you've seen these. But not THESE!
Aren't these better than the ones I'm sure Ma will put up soon enough. Or Grace?
yes. They are. :)







Yay! I posted!
Life is better!

would you like to know about my life right now?

K. I'll tell you. RED LOBSTER.
thats all. But its really fun. I love it there. the people are really nice, and funny :D

Perhaps I'll be able to borrow a camera from someone to take pictures of everyone :D te he.

Of course........having my OWN would be nice.
I think I may buy one soon.

OH! and I wrote all my graduation thank-yous! yay! All I have to do is put them in the mail and send them. :D Be expecting one within the next 6 months!

Fun in the "big city"

I'm loving this new group of friends I made in Marquette at my mom's church. I like the church too! Last night we went to Taco Bell XD (Of course, where else would we go?)

This is Jenna. Isn't she hawt?
Heres...Shadee? Shawday? Shadey? However you spell it: Here she is
We left a nice little note for the Taco Bell staff that we got to know quite well :) We took a picture with all of them, but it didn't turn out :( sad.After Taco Belle, we took a trip to Adam's house. He is a fantastic singer! and musician!
Next is Emma I swear I knew her before....

This is Catherine...she doesn't always wear that hat and play those drums...but it gives you a picture of her personality
Heres my mommy's new friend. Shes Adam's mom.
And Josh. He's my little metalhead. I'm giving him any metal I own.


Continuing:

I'm having a difficult time with my new facebook and this blogspot. For this, I don't understand how to add friends...or whatever they're called.
How do I make all you nice people my friend so I can frequent your site without you having to post?
This I do not know.

Now, mom already showed you this...but I just want you all to know that Renee LOVED it! I let her out once and she ran around for a second and then laid back down to get burried again! She loved it :D and that made me happy. She was the perfect dog at the "no dogs allowed" beach....erson.

Fun with people

Mom and Carlie took me and Mike/Chris on a nice little tado/date.
It was really fun. We had an absolute blast. :D Mom and Carlie made it easy for Mike and I to loosen up and just have fun. We tend to go on stiff, have-to-be-perfect dates...so this was really nice. Now hes talking about going on a picnic date with me sometime and all these nice, light, fluffy dates. :D I yike it.

We went to some somethin' festival by Teal Lake in Marquette or somthing and took bunches of pictures. (For more please see myspace.com/lovetheonly)

Fun Chicago

Hello all!

So I'm still in Chicago, but I'm going home after the Cornerstone Festival. I'm so excited to be going home too. :D

I miss everyone there. I miss you so much!!

I have been having so much fun here! I've enjoyed this place with everything in me. I'm learning a LOT from God as well. The main thing I'm learning is love. Pure, raw LOVE.

I feel like i've been very judgemental my whole life and I'm finally learning that if God isn't bashing someone for their sins, why should I? I don't know them as well as Jesus, so why should I be trying to take His place in speaking to them? Granted, there are times to confront someone--but I think that it should be up to God to tell me when and how. The love has been lost to a lot of people in the church. A lot of people think that if someone is sinning they should be shunned, or told constantly that they are doing wrong. I strongly do not agree with that. So thats mainly what I am learning.

I've been downtown a LOT for many different things. :D I went down there a few times with my friend Mary Alice. She is awesome. I'm using her computer right now as she sleeps...its about 130 right now...oh well. I don't have work in the morning. She is the one--just by her witness--that seems to be teaching me a lot of what I'm learnign. Like LOVE and embroidery, and patience, and just how to have fun! Life is not a drag! People are not a drag! I should learn to love everyone, and if they don't fit my personality and I would rather not hang out with them...I don't have to. I should pray for them, but I don't have to hang out with anyone unless Jesus says so. The catch is that I should LOVE them. I should treat them with the same respect that I would like to be shown. I shouldn't accept the way that they treat me, but I should show them Jesus' love and grace and compassion.

this whole love thing really boggles my mind.

here are some pretty pictures of me downtown. Mary alice has a camera, so that is how I have these.

This is Mary AliceAnneliece and I pretty city. Not so pretty arm
Blues Fest. I don't know why so few pictures....
