It's Sunday evening and I'm not doing a single thing. Nope, not one. I don't have any finals tomorrow which is happy. I went to Bible Study tonight at Calvary, led by Shannon. And he had amazing things to say and enlighten me on. The thing that intrigued me the most was that we talked about "travail." And what that looks like. He was sure to explain to us that he is just now trying to figure out what all that means to. Basically travail is laboring in and through prayer as if through childbirth. It was really interesting and I'm going to look more into it. Anyway, that was my evening.

Changing Hurts
The Lord is really trying to refine me and it's not very easy at all. In fact, it hurts alot. Most of time it feels like all He's doing is pointing out my flaws, even though I know that's not what He's trying to do. He's simply trying to make me into the person I'm supposed to be. And right now I feel as far away from that as I could possibly be. I feel used up and worn down. I feel tired and lonely. I feel like no one cares. I know none of these are true or even matter but they are simply how I feel. Satan is really pouring it on thick, and I'm pretty sure it has to do with my upcoming trip to Africa. He doesn't want me to do anything right and right now he's almost winning. I'm about ready to throw in the towel. But, I know the Lord will prevail.
O and Stephen Speaks makes me cry. fyi.

God has a sense of humor. Everyday, I usually wake up and check my email. This morning I did not...I had to go straight to class and then chapel. Today in chapel we had our commisioning. It was amazing and very emotional. You see, I'm going to Africa but I haven't known anything except that. After chapel, I called my rep at the IMB to see if she had heard anything and she was trying to track down all the info. I went to my room later and checked my email and there it was!!! All the info I needed!! Now I know when I'm leaving: May 13 and when I'll be coming back July 15!! And I found out a bunch more stuff that I don't feel like typing out Anyway, I love how God works and Have a Wonderful Day!!!

Frustration.....it comes in many forms. One of which I am suffering from. God is teaching me that I need to be fulfilled completely by Him and Him alone and then the frustration can go away. He has a plan. sigh....it's still hard.

Confession through Psalms
I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin (Ps. 38:18). All my longings lie open before you O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you (38:9). Turn to me and be gracious to me; for I am lonely and afflicted (25:16). Against you and you only have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge (51:4). I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry, He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the muck and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. (40:1-3) Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings (63:7).
That's the only place I want to be right now Father: the shadow of Your wings.

Lovely Days
I had an interesting last couple of days. I went down to Cape Girardeau for the annual meeting for the Missouri Baptist Convention. I really just went to hang out with some friends and to see my parents. It was a wonderfully good time and I'm so happy I went. Last night, I also went to a service where they appointed 67 international missionaries. It blew me away. It just made me so excited about what God is going to do in my life. I couldn't wait to be in their position. Not only that but I was so overcome with emotion and so were my parents. It was an experience I will never forget. If you wanna hear more I would love to talk about it with you. Just lemme know.
Love love, Jenny

Kim has come and gone. It was simply wonderful to have her here.
This week is midterm week. I already had one today and I have 2 more on Friday. It's a little stressful to say the least. I had a wonderful photo class today. We did a photo shoot and it was so much fun. I can't wait to see how they turn out. I hope everyone is doing well!
Monday, October 09, 2006
Being sick is no fun. poo. but good news is KIM WILL BE HERE IN 3 DAYS!!!!!!!!! i can't wait. she's pretty much my bestest friend in the whole world and she couldn't be coming to see me at a better time. She's just what i need right now. She's amazing. You just have to meet her to know. Anywho...hopefully I'll be better by then, if not then i'll just have to tough it out.
Tuesday, September 26, 2006
so....i dont think anyone reads my blogs...at least they dont comment anymore. but that's okay...its still therapeutic. school's going great. i have tests this week. mentoring with rhonda hufty is goin great too. i took a spiritual gifts test and mine are: Craftsmenship, apostleship, counseling, and discernment. i was slightly pleasantly surprised. anywho, i hope you all have a wonderful day and remember to look up and around and at yourself and look at God's amazing creation.

Observation...
So I'm in this photography class and we're learning about composition and how to make a picture not just look good but how to make it sucessful through composition (putting it all together). I'm learning. But, it dawned on me today that each and every one of us is an amaing composition that God has pieced together. I realize that I had to climb a huge bridge to get to this point but I love finding God in stuff like this. And so then after that thought i realized that I've been missing out. We talk about how we want to experience God and if we just stop and look around or even at ourselves we can experience God right then and there. We think something huge has to happen in order for us to see that God is working, but the fact is God works in small ways too. I mean, he used 12 crazy misfits to spread His name across the Earth...what makes us any different? I know I'm talking about alot here but it's fun to think about. Just writing about this is causing me to experience God. I love it!
Have a great week. Look at the little things.
His,
Jenny

First Day of Classes
So, it's the first day of classes and I am super excited. This morning I had Intro to Missions with Dr. Hufty and we have a book we have to read online and it's on the IMB's website. So I went there and everything and got to lookin around on there and I found where it talks about long-term missionaries on there, and I just got such a peace and contentment about that whole deal. I started looking at the requirements for starting out and I can't wait to start to pursue that area of my life....but I already am is the thing and I love it!!! Ok I dunno if that made any sense but it did in my head so yea. I'm not even sure who reads this but ok.
So then I had Photo II with the new teacher. And I'm pumped because he's not just worried about the technical aspect of photography, he actually wants us to compose pictures and be artistic with them, which is what I've always wanted to do. So, I know I'm going to learn alot from this class. I hope maybe one day I can combine my 2 loves of photography and missions. That would be the best. But, I will just have to wait on God and his wonderful plan.

Patience
This summer has been incredible and it has gone entirely too fast. There's so much that I learned that it's really hard to comprehend it all. The times that I was home this summer though, those times lasted waaaaay waaaaay longer than the times that I was away. Like now for example, I've been home now for 3 days and I've got about 2 and half more before I leave again. But, it feels like I've been here for a month and I still have a month before I leave. What does that mean?? Does that mean I don't like to be around my parents? I hope not. I love my parents....it's just sometimes I wish I had my own place I guess. It'll happen soon. I just need to be patient and wait on the Lord.....for everything.
Sunday, August 13, 2006
I'm off to camp then its a week and then its SCHOOL!!!! i can't wait. how many people can be that excited about school...not many i dont think. but i sure am. cant wait. buh bye now.
Sunday, July 30, 2006
what an amazing summer. its hard to comprehend all that God has been teaching me and i'm not so good at putting it into words.so just know that God is incredible and words cannot describe his goodness and mercy and patience and love and so much more. I love the way He has taught me about living around different types of people and what to do in certain situations....just little stuff like that has amazed me. There's so much more and unfortunately i dont exactly have time to write it all down. sooo.....if you wanna know more just call me or something like that.
Sunday, June 18, 2006

Monday, April 03, 2006
wow its been a lil hard for this past day. i've found out that my best guy friend ever totally messed me over and thats all i'm gonna say about that. i was pretty much crushed by it but luckily God provided huge encouragement from some amazing people(telli, sarah dale, and anna!!!- i love them) and i'm better. there could be worse things going on right now. i could be starving and living in a cave in antarctica but i'm not and i'm thankful for that. I guess what i learned from all this is that in the long run God is looking out for me and is trying to protect me even though i mightve gotten a little bit hurt its okay.
Wednesday, March 29, 2006
God is so amazing. I have almost raised all my support for my Switzerland trip this summer. All I lack is just a teeny bit. Soooo awesome.Just wanted to share that. I have a busy week this week so I might not update for awhile. But you can still leave me some love.
Wednesday, March 22, 2006
haha. so it did snow a ton and we did get a snow day. my dad consisted of sleeping in. then a huge snowball fight where chad gave me about 15 million bruises.then it was on to the coffee shop for a game of nerts. then it was capture the flag which was way fun. we had snow forts and everything. then it was on to randy and telli's for american idol. then i realized how incredibly sore i was from my eventful day. but it didnt hit me completely until i woke up this morning. o my word i never knew you could be so sore from a snow day. but it was completely worth it.
Monday, March 20, 2006
It's the first day of spring. and we're getting 8 inches of snow tonite!!!!!!!!!! i'm so excited. i love snow. they might even cancel school i can't wait.
Wednesday, March 15, 2006
spring break was great....but now its over. i'm back at school, completely done with cheerleading thank goodness and i've started swimming. and it feels amazing. school is goin good....gettin a lil harder but thats expected. my dad is speaking at chapel this week and so far he's done great. everyone loves him. i'm applying to be an R. A. hopefully that all works out. other than that...life is pretty boring.
Tuesday, March 07, 2006

Thursday, February 16, 2006
So this week was love week at school. And I must agree with my friend Alicia when she said its been a weird crazy week. Monday night was movie night and we watched The Legend of Zorro which was fun. Then Tuesday was bowling night. Wednesday was church. Tonight is skating. And then tomorrow is the finals of Trojan Idol.
As usual, I had a horrible Valentine's Day....I have yet to have a good one. But its slowly getting better. Without going into it too much, I will say I was hurt pretty bad...by a boy of course....but we're working it out slowly and its better. I hope all of you had a much better day than I did.
Sunday, February 05, 2006
This past weekend I went to an Evangelism training weekend.It was incredible....it ranked up there with Passion '06. There were probably a little over 100 students there and God just moved in a huge way. He brought some amazing speakers to us and a great band. God spoke to me sooo much and it was so refreshing and awe inspiring. Our main focus over the weekend was the persecuted chuch all over the world. The main thing that struck me was that all of these persecuted Christians don't want the persecution to stop they want it to continue....because that is what brings more and more to Christ. All they ask is that they keep worshiping and glorifying God through it all. That's sooo incredible!!!! Another thing I realized is that missions makes me super excited and I really thought that it did that to everyone but it doesn't. So, it only makes sense for me to do missions and not just short-term. I asked one of our speakers on some advice for me and she told me...just to obey in all the little things in my life and God will bring bigger things, like going to a different country, along. I'm super excited about what God is going to do with my life. I ask that you would all pray for me to be obedient to Christ and to endure everything that that might entail. Thanks for reading this all of you who did.
In Him,
Jenny

Finals are pretty much over. I have a critique in commercial art and then its go time. I'm going home tonight having Christmas with my parents. We're getting up super early tomorrow and starting to drive to Virginia and we should get there midday saturday. Then next Wednesday we'll head to North Carolina to see my grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles. Then I get to see my beautiful Lizzy in Gatlinburg woo hoo! Then its to God's country(Georgia) with Lizzy and her family. Then I fly back to Kansas City. Then 2 days later I go back down to Nashville Tennessee with a super cool group of people to the Passion Conference. Then 2 days after all that......I go back to school. whew!! Just typing that makes me tired.
Tuesday, December 06, 2005
Christmas is around the corner and there is snow on the ground!! Its so pretty but it makes your car really nasty and gross. Finals are around the corner as well and I happened to pull an all-nighter last night and I plan on doing it again tonight. O you will know once you see the horrid dark circles underneath my eyes. But, it's all worth it. I'll hopefully get a good grade on the project I'm working on and then all will be well. Anywho, I really miss all my Georgia buddies and I'm sending all my lovin to you today. I hope everyone is having a good week. And if you feel stressed, just remember that hard work is always rewarded and that Jesus loves you more than any of us can comprehend. I don't know about ya'll but that makes me smile huge!!! So, all the HLG people, if you see me today or tomorrow or the next day and I'm not smiling please tell me......
Wednesday, November 30, 2005
so i'm a lot better today than i was before. its like this whole week God has just been telling me to "wait...just wait." and i'm like okay. i cant stand that i grew up in this generation where i have to have everything right now. but there is a reason for everything. this verse has really comforted me: Galations 3:26-29. Look it up it'll make you smile. And i would love to hear what makes ya'll smile!!

Two of our players fenced with golf clubs in the student center, good ol' ben washed his hair with chocolate syrup amazing!! And finally we had to sing Buttercup in front of alot of random people. Not so bad really. But the other team o wow. They had to ask to lick someones feet, fish out 5 golf balls from the hannibal golf course pond, drink a cup of mississippi river water and finally ask for depends and diarrea medicine at walmart. sooo much fun. special thanks to sarah dale, ben, and katherine for being on my team! woo hoo.

i would just like to say a big thank you to all the hannibal people who have been so nice to me and so friendly and i really appreciate it. thanks.
Friday, October 07, 2005
Today was a beautiful fall day in Hannibal, Missouri.This weather makes me so happy and excited and I sometimes like to think that God made the weather like that just for me...hee hee. So if you can't tell..i'm doin soooo much better than i was the other day. God reminded me that I cannot have faith in myself and do it all myself because I am dead....but only through Him can i do anything and only through Him can I not sin. Being reminded of that has lifted a huge burden off my shoulders. I hope that God encourages you today because thats what He does best. and it just makes you feel all kinds of good.
p.s. i love myspace so if i'm not on here much then i'm probably on myspace.....sorry ......i love you!!!!!!!
Monday, October 03, 2005
today in cheerleading practice i got uppercutted in the nose. and it hurt real bad.but i'll be okay. i havent been doing all that great this past week...in fact i've been doing horrible...just been struggling with stuff that i shouldn't be. so if ya'll could pray for me that would be awesome. this week at school is missions week and i wish i was more motivated about it but because of the horrible week i've had i'm not. i really think i'm supposed to be in missions like all the time and satan is just trying to attack me and it sucks!!
leave me some love please.
love, jenny
Thursday, September 29, 2005

God is teaching me a lot about prayer and i'm doing the best i can to keep up. its pretty good up here...classes are definately harder than truetts which is good. tomorrow nite is formal but of course no dancing only a nice dinner and some entertainment. it should be fun. i dont really feel that well today but i'll get over it.

Sunday, September 18, 2005

Friday, September 09, 2005
This morning at about 11 Rick went to see our Father. I know why it happened...God has been glorified more than ever in this whole process and I know thats why it happened. Thanks to everyone who prayed and if you want more info on it all go to rickpearson.org. thanks and hey read my earlier post cuz its good. i love you and thank you.
rick is not doing well ya'll. if you wanna know more go to rickpearson.org and then click "my blog". but its not good and i just ask all of you to pray.
on another note i ripped this from my buddy kelly's site cuz its just amazing and actually reminded me of a few people at truett...i can say that now since i'm not there....its actually from a video by rob bell entitled " Bullhorn".
"As I get closer, I hear the words 'sin' and 'burn' and 'hell' and 'repent.' And then I hear the word 'Jesus.' And he's got all these pamphlets, and he's quoting these Bible verses about the anger and wrath of God, and how if I don't repent, I'm going to pay for it for eternity, and how I might die, I might die tonight! This might be my only chance!""Bullhorn guy, I don't think it's working. All the yelling and the judgment and the condemnation, I don't think it's working. I actually think it's making things worse. I don't think it's what Jesus had in mind.""I mean, that's why so many of us are so fascinated with Jesus, because he never stops insisting that God really, really loves us exactly as we are. I mean, isn't that what draws you to him?""When Jesus is asked, 'What's the most important thing?' Jesus' response is to love, love God with everything that you have and love those around you in the same kind of way. Jesus doesn't separate loving God and loving others. For Jesus, everything hangs on these two. And so the definining mark of a Christian is love.""See, bullhorn guy, this is why the yelling and the bullhorn are so disturbing to us, it seems like you're just trying to convert people to your religion. Like they're notches on some sort of spiritual belt. But they're not. They're people, they're people that God loves. They're people that Jesus wants us to love. They aren't statistics, they aren't numbers, they aren't possible conversions. I mean, if, if I'm loving somebody with an agenda, then it isn't really love, is it?""So a Christian is somebody who understands this, who understands that people with different perspectives and different religious beliefs and convictions, they're to be loved and respected, because they're made by God, and they're sacred and they're valuable and they matter. God loves the world, so a Christian does too.""That's why the hell fire and brimstone stuff is so dangerous. When you tell me that I should follow Jesus so that I don't burn forever, it sounds like a threat. As if you scare people enough they'll all of a sudden magically decide to love God and follow Jesus."Heaven weeps for the creepy people like you."But maybe you're a Christian, and you're sitting there nodding, and you're agreeing with me and you're going, 'Yeah! You tell 'em! It's about time somebody said that!' But, what are you doing to change the perception, because that's what it is.""So may you see that how you love others is how you love God. That's it. That's the way of love. That's the way of Jesus."

so i'm off to thailand in 6 days. i'm really excited. satan is definately trying to make me feel like i'm not worthy to go. i talked about all this with my dad and he reminded me of the passage in Luke when Jesus is tempted in the desert by Satan. and it happened to be right before Jesus started His ministry. It just goes to show you that our lives can relate so much to the life of Christ and I dont know about ya'll but thats incredibly encouraging. anywho if i dont post again before i leave....please please pray for our group over there.....kim gordan, douglas porter, kate bushey, and jill hamilton are in my group too. i love you guys and leave some love so when i get back from thailand i have fun stuff to read!!
Tuesday, July 05, 2005
just when i'm having the most amazing 3 weeks of my life.....satan has to come in and ruin it all. nothing bad in particular has happened its just i've been in the worst moods and i'm really annoyed with my parents for no good reason. but i did get saved from it all lizzy and jonathan came up on sunday and we went to dicks creek which was amazing. i had lots of fun! but anyway if any of you guys find the time say a lil prayer for me that i'll get my focus back where it should be. thanks.

anyway...schools almost over and i'm packing today. i will miss truett alot. still no word on uga yet. but i will let ya'll know.

Monday, March 28, 2005

Sunday, March 20, 2005
so i just got back from my first disciple now weekend. it was really good and i had alot of fun. it was very tiring. we talked about true love waits and i learned alot just by teaching. it was awesome. kim and i had four wonderful sweet girls who were very talkative which was good and bad. we also played paintball and i absolutely loved it so if anyone ever wants to go then i will be more than happy to go with you. i also sprained my ankle and you might so o you did it while paintballin....o no i sprained it just walking down the hallway!!!! so right now i'm icing my ankle and i hope the swelling will go down soon. anyway....God blessed me in a huge way this weekend and he's been doin that alot lately. and its so exciting!!!! i hope everyone has an amazing week.
Wednesday, March 16, 2005
Today is Wednesday.
I went to 7/22 last nite and I walked in the auditorium and immediately started crying. They were painting!!!!! I was so excited and I still am. The last time I saw that being done was when God told me that was what I was supposed to do. Seeing it again just ignited that passion in me all over again. I can't wait to go to Missouri and get started on my major. The school I'm going to has a room for just drawing!! I mean come on a whole room for drawing. I am sooo excited. Anyway, I learned last night that we are all to be reflectors for our Jesus. I'm trying my hardest, actually I'm praying that Jesus will just shine through me and I won't have to do anything.
heres a cool song:
Run
by Snow Patrol
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it any where
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think i might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if its just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Monday, March 14, 2005

Monday, January 24, 2005
i just love puppies. and i have to give mine away. he's not exactly a puppy but i call him my puppy. so if you know of anyone that wants an 11 year old lab with lots of room for him to run pleeeaasseee let me know. this dog kinda looks like Admiral but Admiral is a lil bit darker...kinda like the georgia red clay color.
Wednesday, January 19, 2005
ok i'm sorry i'm not gonna make ya'll post on that last one but do read it....anyways...i'm wondering when its gonna snow cuz it needs to...soon.
anyway.......heres a puppy to cheer you up:
ok so this is the story of my life basically and i got this from the chicken soup for the soul site:
He was perfect. The exact mix of bad boy and intellectual that I was looking for, and good looking, as well. He was six feet, three inches, with a medium build, dark brown hair and deep brown eyes I just wanted to gaze at for days. And probably did, when I got the chance. As much as I like to pretend that I’m above all those cheesy crush feelings, I’m not. The best part of this particular crush was that, unlike so many of my others, he actually knew my name. He had my number stored in his cell phone and even used it! I swear I used to hear wedding bells when I saw his name on my caller ID.My friends were not his biggest advocates, to say the least, and you can bet they let me know it. I heard everything from “You can do so much better,” to “He sucks, plain and simple.” My logic remained unchanged. If I could do better, why wasn’t I? I couldn’t understand why my girlfriends didn’t like him. Okay, so maybe he used to show me his photo albums and point out all the girls he had dated. Yeah, he’d complain about the lack of an available hot girl in his life. But they didn’t know him like I did. Isn’t that always the case? A few days before Valentine’s Day, he sent me an instant message saying, “Red, pink, peach, white or yellow?” I immediately knew that he was asking me my preference in rose colors. I selected red, the most romantic kind. After the color, we debated between a dozen or a half-dozen. After that, to include a card, or send them anonymously. He had mentioned during the conversation that he simply wanted to “make some girl’s day.” I was convinced that I was “some girl.” Three hours after we began chatting, we had chosen a half-dozen red roses, to be sent anonymously. We had also, unfortunately, discussed all the possibilities among the girls he could surprise. When I playfully suggested that I be the recipient of the Valentine’s Day bouquet, I was swiftly shut down. “Don’t be greedy,” was his reply. After the incident, I immediately ran down the dorm hallway to relay the entire conversation to my friends. I was only partially upset about the outcome. I was more excited that he had just spent three hours asking me for advice. They rolled their eyes, knowing all they could do was wait it out, and eventually, I’d come to my senses.Valentine’s Day arrived, and since I had no date, I went about my business as I would any other day. When I returned to my dorm room after classes, I was shocked to find a vase of red roses on my dresser. I counted them, exactly six. I searched for a card, and found none. Could it be? I knew it! He had gone through the pains of making me so sure I wasn’t going to get those flowers just so I would be extra shocked when I found them.A few moments later, four of my closest friends bounded through the door. They handed me a small envelope.“It goes with the flowers,” they said. I opened it, and it read:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
He doesn’t love you
But we sure do.....Yeah, I was disappointed, but only for a minute, because I realized at that moment how foolish I had been.I hugged my friends, and the unworthy boy was forgotten. My friendship with him has since faded, and frankly,I don’t miss it. As for those four girls? They’re keepers.
why don't guys treat me how i should be treated...i mean i can prolly count on one hand how many guys have even looked at me today...and i'm sorry if i'm venting but this is how i feel. its just so frustrating and dont even tell me how you feel cuz i really dont think you do!!!!

this is to my future husband:
Tell her you think shes AMAZING. Tell her why you think shes so amazing. Play with her hair. Talk to her in movie theatres. Snuggle, Hold her hand, and lightly KISS her. Hold her hand and walk. Hold her hand and run. Just hold her hand. Pick flowers from other peoples yards and give them to her. Tell her she looks BEAUTIFUL. Introduce her to your friends as "The most amazing girl I know''. Sit in the park and talk to her. Take her to the library, ice skating, playgrounds, and coffee shops. Tell her stupid jokes... Whatever it takes to make her laugh. Write poems about her. Walk with her, even if its just around the block. Throw pebbles at her window at night. SURPRISE HER. Do things that make her SMILE, make her LAUGH, and make her want to KISS you right on the face. BE SPONTANEOUS. When she starts yelling at you, tell her you love her. Give her back rubs. Play football with her. Let her fall asleep in your arms. Call her even if its just to say hi. Call her back if she calls you. Jump on the bed with her. Whisper in her ear. Sing to her, no matter how bad you are. Carve your names into a tree. Get her mad, then KISS her. Push her on swings. Stay up with her all night. Leave her little unexpected notes.. on the car, or on her door, saying how much she means to you. Take her to romantic places and lay out blankets to look at the *stars*. Make up nicknames for each other. Show up at her work or apartment unexpectedly. Send flowers and dorky notes that only you two understand. Teach her guitar. Lend her your cds. Make her cds of songs that remind you of her. Write her letters. If she asks you to go to a show with her, go, even if it means a 5 hour car trip. Go on a road trip even if theres no destination or you cant be gone long. Listen to her favorite songs. When shes sad or sick, hang out with her or stay on the phone with her, even if shes not saying anything. Buy her ice cream. Let her take all the pictures of you SHE WANTS. Look into her eyes. Slow dance with her, even if the music is fast. Make her a romantic dinner for special days. Remember dates.. even ones like your first kiss or date and surprise her on the anniversary. Kiss her in the rain. Kiss her when she least expects it. When you fall in love with her, TELL HER.

so i'm ready to go back to truett. God is really teaching me patience right now. my 3 nieces under the age of 5 came to visit for 4 days it was fun. but i've come to learn i'm a VERY impatient person, not so much with the kids but with other areas of my life...lizzy you know what i mean....and i really need to let God work on that in my life. its been a really emotional break and frankly i'm ready to be through with it.
ps. i got the dirty dancing soundtrack and leg warmers for christmas....o yea.
and i'm getting a massage tomorrow for an hour that makes me happy

Tuesday, November 30, 2004
today is tuesday and its very stressful around here at truett. and i think we all just need to remember that God will not make us go through anything we can't handle. so finals.......its okay we can do it with Jesus! i hope everyone has a great day and a great week too.
Friday, November 19, 2004
This is what i feel like today:

Tuesday, November 16, 2004
its tuesday......j/k i'll write more today. Tonite i went to 7/22 and it was amazing. Everytime i go it just encourages me so much. I'm reminded that Jesus loves me sooo much and i don't think anyone can hear enough of that...i know i can't. Louie talked about knowing not only that God is good and not only is God, God but God is Almighty. And he talked about what all that entailed and how we always say Lord, Lord, Lord but yet we don't do what He says. It hit home pretty hard for me. I'm having better days this week and its all because I am drawimg closer to Him. So...i have concluded that if you ever have a hard, diffucult, crummy, no good day just tell Jesus about it and then just listen.
Monday, November 15, 2004
Its monday.........
Wednesday, November 10, 2004
so today is wednesday and its been a tough week. i failed a test today or at least i think i did. but...switchfoot was amazing and to all of you that missed it, sucks for you. i was like 5th row and it was just incredible.i need another fun day like that. i think everyone should have a fun day at least once a week. anyway, i hope you all are having a better day than me.

Monday, September 27, 2004
Hey everyone and happy monday! I had a wonderful weekend in Jekyll (did i spell it right?) Island. Even though we had to leave early it was still a trip I won't forget. I've become a lil bit closer to some of my buds....ocean time with Kim and Kristen..such fun. And I've also made new friends and to God I am thankful for that. God worked through our hearts this weekend, including mine, especially mine. I've decided to change my major from Biology to Art, my true passion. I am so excited that I'm going to get to do what I love to do for God's glory.
I would like to ask all of you to pray for my dad as he is announcing his resignation from senior pastor at his church this Sunday. And also pray for both my brothers who somehow managed to both break their arms within a few days of each other...its a great story and I'd love to tell you about it sometime.....
I hope everyone has an amazing week....and remember that we are all blessed beyond belief by God our Father.
Tuesday, September 21, 2004
so today is tuesday and its been a beautiful day that God has made.i had art today and i really think that God is speaking to me and telling me that that is what i'm supposed to do. i need a lil prayer for this...cuz right now i'm a biology major and i want to do what God has planned for me. anywho, i'm really excited cuz tonite is 7:22 and its all about God and His Glory and i can't wait. i hope everyone has a fabulous day!!!
ps heres a nice lil pic
haha i love napoleon dynamite!!!!
Sunday, September 19, 2004

Wednesday, September 15, 2004
Good wednesday to everyone...i am extremely tired today but for good reason. last nite was the kickoff for 7:22 and it was incredible. God moved in a mighty way and I was blessed beyond belief. After 7:22, a few of us decided to eat at Steak and Shake...yummy....well we met this guy on the way there(yes while we were driving) and he ended up coming with us...we had an awesome time all together and then we all got up to pay. Ross (our good friend that we had just met) went ahead of all of us then left. Blake and I were next and they told us Ross had paid for it all.....we were all shocked....I wasnt sure if i was going to have enough money to pay for my dinner and neither did Lizzy. All we could say is God is good!!!
I hope everyone has a fabulous day and CC1 is gonna whoop up on CC3 tonite.
Monday, September 13, 2004
This is one of my favorite songs ever and i just thought i would share it with you:
I don't know how to say exactly how I feel /And I can't begin to tell you what your love has meant/I'm lost for words/Is there a way to show the passion in my heart /Can I express how truly great I think you are/My dearest friend/Lord, this is my desire
To pour my love on You/Like oil upon your feet/ Like wine for you to drink/Like water from my heart/I pour my love on you/If praise is like perfume/I'll lavish mine on you/Till every drop is gone/I'll pour my love on you
ok so today is monday and can i just say the only good thing about mondays are that they contain bsu....i dont really like biology cuz its hard and my teacher is a crazy man....but anyway i had sooo much fun this weekend goofin off with the girls. i'm so glad you guys are my friends(awww)...thats kinda corny but WHO CARES?? everyone have a wonderful monday and i hope to see you all at bsu this lovely nite.

Changing Hurts
The Lord is really trying to refine me and it's not very easy at all. In fact, it hurts alot. Most of time it feels like all He's doing is pointing out my flaws, even though I know that's not what He's trying to do. He's simply trying to make me into the person I'm supposed to be. And right now I feel as far away from that as I could possibly be. I feel used up and worn down. I feel tired and lonely. I feel like no one cares. I know none of these are true or even matter but they are simply how I feel. Satan is really pouring it on thick, and I'm pretty sure it has to do with my upcoming trip to Africa. He doesn't want me to do anything right and right now he's almost winning. I'm about ready to throw in the towel. But, I know the Lord will prevail.
O and Stephen Speaks makes me cry. fyi.
Wednesday, April 18, 2007
God has a sense of humor. Everyday, I usually wake up and check my email. This morning I did not...I had to go straight to class and then chapel. Today in chapel we had our commisioning. It was amazing and very emotional. You see, I'm going to Africa but I haven't known anything except that. After chapel, I called my rep at the IMB to see if she had heard anything and she was trying to track down all the info. I went to my room later and checked my email and there it was!!! All the info I needed!! Now I know when I'm leaving: May 13 and when I'll be coming back July 15!! And I found out a bunch more stuff that I don't feel like typing out Anyway, I love how God works and Have a Wonderful Day!!!
Saturday, April 14, 2007
Frustration.....it comes in many forms. One of which I am suffering from. God is teaching me that I need to be fulfilled completely by Him and Him alone and then the frustration can go away. He has a plan. sigh....it's still hard.
Tuesday, March 27, 2007
I'm going to Africa!!!!!
Wednesday, March 21, 2007
Emotions are really confusing.....poo.
Tuesday, March 13, 2007
Good TimesSo, I've been busy, extremely. God is incredible can I just say that? I went to Beach Reach last week. And I cannot even begin to describe what went on there and how God changed me. It's good stuff. I'm still trying to finalize all my plans for this summer. Things are looking up for West Africa. We'll see what happens. O yea and I'm sick which isn't really good times at all. :(
Saturday, February 24, 2007
Clarity
I'm beginning to have some clarity in my life....at least about plans for the summer. I know I'm going to Cleveland in May.....if God allows me to be accepted to the IMB...then I'm headed where ever they send me after that!!!! So I'm pumped I guess you could say. And other good things are goin on too! OO OO and Beach Reach is coming up and I am so excited about that too!! I know it's gonna be really hard for me but I know it's gonna be just what I need right now.

Roller Coaster....of EverythingLife is an emotional roller coaster right now. First of all I have the best friends a girl could ask for. We have a blast anytime we are together. So there's the happy emotion. Secondly, my mom recently found out she had a brain tumor and had to have it removed. There's the sadness/stressed/worried/everything else negative emotion there. Third, God is testing me huge.....I still don't know what I'm doing this summer. Evidently, that's what He wants. I could be going out of the country, I could be staying right here in Missouri. Only He knows. So there's somemore of the stressed but excited emotion right there. And then of course last week was Valentine's Day....my o so favorite holiday...or not! So there's the feeling sorry for myself/depressed emotion. But, at the end of the day, I have to remember that God knows exactly what He is doing and that's all I need to know.

Music
So i'm not sure what i would do if music did not exist. I mean first of all there's amazing music that you can worship God to- i love it. But then there's also just tons more and we get to experience people's own personal creativity. that's awesome.
i'm on this mellow music kick. i downloaded a song last night by Ray LaMontagne. Simply incredible. I highly recommend him. I'm also lovin Damien Rice and Snow Patrol. Just good music. Anywho...have a good week!
Monday, January 08, 2007
Wow...ummm....GOD!!
So, I went to Passion '07. And it was like I said, wow...ummm....hmmm... GOD!!! If you want more than you have to have at least an hour and half so I can do it a teeny bit of justice....otherwise there's no way. So, my life is changed and I am sooo thankful for God's perfect plan and that I hardly know any of it. But ya know what, that's okay because I have Jesus with me and there's nothing anyone, not even me, can do it about it.
So, if you're stuggling with sin of any kind and Satan knows it and he loves it, then you should read Micah 7:8-9. It will change your life. Anywho, I'm here if anyone wants to hear the long story because there is no short version.
ok bye.

Ankle Update
So I've been in a cast now for 11 days and I do not like it one bit. It's very hard to get around and I have to ask people for help all the time because I can't do anything for myself. Good news is when I'm back at school I will only have 10 days left and then it's off...then it will be a walking cast and all that.....so the doctor said everything went well and I'll be good as new before long.
Tuesday, December 12, 2006
It's Almost DoneI will be finished in 2 days. That's it. And then the whirl wind is gonna start. We leave for Georgia on Friday....we'll probably get there on Saturday. This weekend will be chock full of fun...seeing old friends. I can't wait. I know that alot of them have been growing in the Lord and I can't wait to hear what He's been doing in their lives! Then on Monday, I'm having surgery on my ankle. I'm a little scared...but I know it will all be fine. The hard part is gonna come afterward. Having to go to a whole bunch of different places with a wonderful cast on my ankle. I guess I'm gonna have to let people help me out. That could be fun.Then there's wonderful Christmas. I get to see my entire family at my Mimi's which roughly amounts to 30ish people...10 of those are my immediate family. o boy. Then I'm off to Passion '07. I'm expecting God to do incredible things through that and hopefully in me as well. It should be interesting with my ankle all bummed up. It'll be fun After Passion I'll come back here and start my new semester as a new RA!!!! God is good.
So, today i've been watching the biggest loser marathon and i want to do it. i wish i could do it here but i don't think i'm motivated enough. i've tried it before....and nothing has happened...i don't know i'm just sick and tired of being the way i am...so we'll see what happens over break....
Tuesday, December 05, 2006
so...i went to the nutcracker tonight. it was pretty good...i've seen better productions of it...but whatever. i'm not a fan of men in tights. its just gross. i'm so ready for all my work to be done. i just have to do it instead of doing things like this.....ok i'm out.
Saturday, December 02, 2006
Snow in my face....I went sledding today and yesterday...but more today for the first time ever!!!!! And it was simply glorious. I think I'm goin to be sore tomorrow but I don't care....it was soooo worth it. I am loving this snow. It just makes me soooo soooo happy! Thank you God for snow.

Confession through Psalms
I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin (Ps. 38:18). All my longings lie open before you O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you (38:9). Turn to me and be gracious to me; for I am lonely and afflicted (25:16). Against you and you only have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge (51:4). I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry, He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the muck and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord. (40:1-3) Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings (63:7).
That's the only place I want to be right now Father: the shadow of Your wings.

Lovely Days
I had an interesting last couple of days. I went down to Cape Girardeau for the annual meeting for the Missouri Baptist Convention. I really just went to hang out with some friends and to see my parents. It was a wonderfully good time and I'm so happy I went. Last night, I also went to a service where they appointed 67 international missionaries. It blew me away. It just made me so excited about what God is going to do in my life. I couldn't wait to be in their position. Not only that but I was so overcome with emotion and so were my parents. It was an experience I will never forget. If you wanna hear more I would love to talk about it with you. Just lemme know.
Love love, Jenny

Kim has come and gone. It was simply wonderful to have her here.
This week is midterm week. I already had one today and I have 2 more on Friday. It's a little stressful to say the least. I had a wonderful photo class today. We did a photo shoot and it was so much fun. I can't wait to see how they turn out. I hope everyone is doing well!
Monday, October 09, 2006
Being sick is no fun. poo. but good news is KIM WILL BE HERE IN 3 DAYS!!!!!!!!! i can't wait. she's pretty much my bestest friend in the whole world and she couldn't be coming to see me at a better time. She's just what i need right now. She's amazing. You just have to meet her to know. Anywho...hopefully I'll be better by then, if not then i'll just have to tough it out.

Observation...
So I'm in this photography class and we're learning about composition and how to make a picture not just look good but how to make it sucessful through composition (putting it all together). I'm learning. But, it dawned on me today that each and every one of us is an amaing composition that God has pieced together. I realize that I had to climb a huge bridge to get to this point but I love finding God in stuff like this. And so then after that thought i realized that I've been missing out. We talk about how we want to experience God and if we just stop and look around or even at ourselves we can experience God right then and there. We think something huge has to happen in order for us to see that God is working, but the fact is God works in small ways too. I mean, he used 12 crazy misfits to spread His name across the Earth...what makes us any different? I know I'm talking about alot here but it's fun to think about. Just writing about this is causing me to experience God. I love it!
Have a great week. Look at the little things.
His,

First Day of Classes
So, it's the first day of classes and I am super excited. This morning I had Intro to Missions with Dr. Hufty and we have a book we have to read online and it's on the IMB's website. So I went there and everything and got to lookin around on there and I found where it talks about long-term missionaries on there, and I just got such a peace and contentment about that whole deal. I started looking at the requirements for starting out and I can't wait to start to pursue that area of my life....but I already am is the thing and I love it!!! Ok I dunno if that made any sense but it did in my head so yea. I'm not even sure who reads this but ok.
So then I had Photo II with the new teacher. And I'm pumped because he's not just worried about the technical aspect of photography, he actually wants us to compose pictures and be artistic with them, which is what I've always wanted to do. So, I know I'm going to learn alot from this class. I hope maybe one day I can combine my 2 loves of photography and missions. That would be the best. But, I will just have to wait on God and his wonderful plan.

Patience
This summer has been incredible and it has gone entirely too fast. There's so much that I learned that it's really hard to comprehend it all. The times that I was home this summer though, those times lasted waaaaay waaaaay longer than the times that I was away. Like now for example, I've been home now for 3 days and I've got about 2 and half more before I leave again. But, it feels like I've been here for a month and I still have a month before I leave. What does that mean?? Does that mean I don't like to be around my parents? I hope not. I love my parents....it's just sometimes I wish I had my own place I guess. It'll happen soon. I just need to be patient and wait on the Lord.....for everything.
Sunday, August 13, 2006
I'm off to camp then its a week and then its SCHOOL!!!! i can't wait. how many people can be that excited about school...not many i dont think. but i sure am. cant wait. buh bye now.
Sunday, July 30, 2006
what an amazing summer. its hard to comprehend all that God has been teaching me and i'm not so good at putting it into words.so just know that God is incredible and words cannot describe his goodness and mercy and patience and love and so much more. I love the way He has taught me about living around different types of people and what to do in certain situations....just little stuff like that has amazed me. There's so much more and unfortunately i dont exactly have time to write it all down. sooo.....if you wanna know more just call me or something like that.
Sunday, June 18, 2006

Lizzy came to see me this weekend. and we had sooo much fun. i miss her already and cant wait to see her again. I think she liked it up here....its just ......different. anywho just wanted to let everyone know that i have the best best friend in the whole world. :)
Monday, April 03, 2006
wow its been a lil hard for this past day. i've found out that my best guy friend ever totally messed me over and thats all i'm gonna say about that. i was pretty much crushed by it but luckily God provided huge encouragement from some amazing people(telli, sarah dale, and anna!!!- i love them) and i'm better. there could be worse things going on right now. i could be starving and living in a cave in antarctica but i'm not and i'm thankful for that. I guess what i learned from all this is that in the long run God is looking out for me and is trying to protect me even though i mightve gotten a little bit hurt its okay.
Wednesday, March 29, 2006
God is so amazing. I have almost raised all my support for my Switzerland trip this summer. All I lack is just a teeny bit. Soooo awesome.Just wanted to share that. I have a busy week this week so I might not update for awhile. But you can still leave me some love.
Wednesday, March 22, 2006
haha. so it did snow a ton and we did get a snow day. my dad consisted of sleeping in. then a huge snowball fight where chad gave me about 15 million bruises.then it was on to the coffee shop for a game of nerts. then it was capture the flag which was way fun. we had snow forts and everything. then it was on to randy and telli's for american idol. then i realized how incredibly sore i was from my eventful day. but it didnt hit me completely until i woke up this morning. o my word i never knew you could be so sore from a snow day. but it was completely worth it.
Monday, March 20, 2006
It's the first day of spring. and we're getting 8 inches of snow tonite!!!!!!!!!! i'm so excited. i love snow. they might even cancel school i can't wait.
Wednesday, March 15, 2006
spring break was great....but now its over. i'm back at school, completely done with cheerleading thank goodness and i've started swimming. and it feels amazing. school is goin good....gettin a lil harder but thats expected. my dad is speaking at chapel this week and so far he's done great. everyone loves him. i'm applying to be an R. A. hopefully that all works out. other than that...life is pretty boring.
Tuesday, March 07, 2006
I'm off to Chicago!!! Main mission: IKEA!!!!! o yes.
Wednesday, February 22, 2006
sooo....today is chapel and i'm dressing up which is fun. i've been sick the past couple of days but good news is i'm getting better....i just can't breathe out of my nose. this weekend is my last game(s). i'm so excited. now i can get a job finally and i don't have to be broke all the time. anyway...hope everyone is doing good...lemme know.
Thursday, February 16, 2006
So this week was love week at school. And I must agree with my friend Alicia when she said its been a weird crazy week. Monday night was movie night and we watched The Legend of Zorro which was fun. Then Tuesday was bowling night. Wednesday was church. Tonight is skating. And then tomorrow is the finals of Trojan Idol.
As usual, I had a horrible Valentine's Day....I have yet to have a good one. But its slowly getting better. Without going into it too much, I will say I was hurt pretty bad...by a boy of course....but we're working it out slowly and its better. I hope all of you had a much better day than I did.
Sunday, February 05, 2006
This past weekend I went to an Evangelism training weekend.It was incredible....it ranked up there with Passion '06. There were probably a little over 100 students there and God just moved in a huge way. He brought some amazing speakers to us and a great band. God spoke to me sooo much and it was so refreshing and awe inspiring. Our main focus over the weekend was the persecuted chuch all over the world. The main thing that struck me was that all of these persecuted Christians don't want the persecution to stop they want it to continue....because that is what brings more and more to Christ. All they ask is that they keep worshiping and glorifying God through it all. That's sooo incredible!!!! Another thing I realized is that missions makes me super excited and I really thought that it did that to everyone but it doesn't. So, it only makes sense for me to do missions and not just short-term. I asked one of our speakers on some advice for me and she told me...just to obey in all the little things in my life and God will bring bigger things, like going to a different country, along. I'm super excited about what God is going to do with my life. I ask that you would all pray for me to be obedient to Christ and to endure everything that that might entail. Thanks for reading this all of you who did.
In Him,
Jenny

Finals are pretty much over. I have a critique in commercial art and then its go time. I'm going home tonight having Christmas with my parents. We're getting up super early tomorrow and starting to drive to Virginia and we should get there midday saturday. Then next Wednesday we'll head to North Carolina to see my grandparents and cousins and aunts and uncles. Then I get to see my beautiful Lizzy in Gatlinburg woo hoo! Then its to God's country(Georgia) with Lizzy and her family. Then I fly back to Kansas City. Then 2 days later I go back down to Nashville Tennessee with a super cool group of people to the Passion Conference. Then 2 days after all that......I go back to school. whew!! Just typing that makes me tired.
Tuesday, December 06, 2005
Christmas is around the corner and there is snow on the ground!! Its so pretty but it makes your car really nasty and gross. Finals are around the corner as well and I happened to pull an all-nighter last night and I plan on doing it again tonight. O you will know once you see the horrid dark circles underneath my eyes. But, it's all worth it. I'll hopefully get a good grade on the project I'm working on and then all will be well. Anywho, I really miss all my Georgia buddies and I'm sending all my lovin to you today. I hope everyone is having a good week. And if you feel stressed, just remember that hard work is always rewarded and that Jesus loves you more than any of us can comprehend. I don't know about ya'll but that makes me smile huge!!! So, all the HLG people, if you see me today or tomorrow or the next day and I'm not smiling please tell me......
Wednesday, November 30, 2005
so i'm a lot better today than i was before. its like this whole week God has just been telling me to "wait...just wait." and i'm like okay. i cant stand that i grew up in this generation where i have to have everything right now. but there is a reason for everything. this verse has really comforted me: Galations 3:26-29. Look it up it'll make you smile. And i would love to hear what makes ya'll smile!!

Friday night had to be one of the funnest nites I have had in quite a long time. Me and a bunch of other people played a game of dares all over the small town of Hannibal, Missouri. My team ended up having to crawl around campus like cows...I even ate grass!! Two of our players fenced with golf clubs in the student center, good ol' ben washed his hair with chocolate syrup amazing!! And finally we had to sing Buttercup in front of alot of random people. Not so bad really. But the other team o wow. They had to ask to lick someones feet, fish out 5 golf balls from the hannibal golf course pond, drink a cup of mississippi river water and finally ask for depends and diarrea medicine at walmart. sooo much fun. special thanks to sarah dale, ben, and katherine for being on my team! woo hoo.

Friday, October 07, 2005
Today was a beautiful fall day in Hannibal, Missouri.This weather makes me so happy and excited and I sometimes like to think that God made the weather like that just for me...hee hee. So if you can't tell..i'm doin soooo much better than i was the other day. God reminded me that I cannot have faith in myself and do it all myself because I am dead....but only through Him can i do anything and only through Him can I not sin. Being reminded of that has lifted a huge burden off my shoulders. I hope that God encourages you today because thats what He does best. and it just makes you feel all kinds of good.
p.s. i love myspace so if i'm not on here much then i'm probably on myspace.....sorry ......i love you!!!!!!!
Monday, October 03, 2005
today in cheerleading practice i got uppercutted in the nose. and it hurt real bad.but i'll be okay. i havent been doing all that great this past week...in fact i've been doing horrible...just been struggling with stuff that i shouldn't be. so if ya'll could pray for me that would be awesome. this week at school is missions week and i wish i was more motivated about it but because of the horrible week i've had i'm not. i really think i'm supposed to be in missions like all the time and satan is just trying to attack me and it sucks!!
leave me some love please.
love, jenny
Thursday, September 29, 2005

God is teaching me a lot about prayer and i'm doing the best i can to keep up. its pretty good up here...classes are definately harder than truetts which is good. tomorrow nite is formal but of course no dancing only a nice dinner and some entertainment. it should be fun. i dont really feel that well today but i'll get over it.
o and in case i havent told you i'm a cheerleader here which is exciting. ok time to go i love you!!
Sunday, September 18, 2005

Friday, September 09, 2005
This morning at about 11 Rick went to see our Father. I know why it happened...God has been glorified more than ever in this whole process and I know thats why it happened. Thanks to everyone who prayed and if you want more info on it all go to rickpearson.org. thanks and hey read my earlier post cuz its good. i love you and thank you.
rick is not doing well ya'll. if you wanna know more go to rickpearson.org and then click "my blog". but its not good and i just ask all of you to pray.
on another note i ripped this from my buddy kelly's site cuz its just amazing and actually reminded me of a few people at truett...i can say that now since i'm not there....its actually from a video by rob bell entitled " Bullhorn".
"As I get closer, I hear the words 'sin' and 'burn' and 'hell' and 'repent.' And then I hear the word 'Jesus.' And he's got all these pamphlets, and he's quoting these Bible verses about the anger and wrath of God, and how if I don't repent, I'm going to pay for it for eternity, and how I might die, I might die tonight! This might be my only chance!""Bullhorn guy, I don't think it's working. All the yelling and the judgment and the condemnation, I don't think it's working. I actually think it's making things worse. I don't think it's what Jesus had in mind.""I mean, that's why so many of us are so fascinated with Jesus, because he never stops insisting that God really, really loves us exactly as we are. I mean, isn't that what draws you to him?""When Jesus is asked, 'What's the most important thing?' Jesus' response is to love, love God with everything that you have and love those around you in the same kind of way. Jesus doesn't separate loving God and loving others. For Jesus, everything hangs on these two. And so the definining mark of a Christian is love.""See, bullhorn guy, this is why the yelling and the bullhorn are so disturbing to us, it seems like you're just trying to convert people to your religion. Like they're notches on some sort of spiritual belt. But they're not. They're people, they're people that God loves. They're people that Jesus wants us to love. They aren't statistics, they aren't numbers, they aren't possible conversions. I mean, if, if I'm loving somebody with an agenda, then it isn't really love, is it?""So a Christian is somebody who understands this, who understands that people with different perspectives and different religious beliefs and convictions, they're to be loved and respected, because they're made by God, and they're sacred and they're valuable and they matter. God loves the world, so a Christian does too.""That's why the hell fire and brimstone stuff is so dangerous. When you tell me that I should follow Jesus so that I don't burn forever, it sounds like a threat. As if you scare people enough they'll all of a sudden magically decide to love God and follow Jesus."Heaven weeps for the creepy people like you."But maybe you're a Christian, and you're sitting there nodding, and you're agreeing with me and you're going, 'Yeah! You tell 'em! It's about time somebody said that!' But, what are you doing to change the perception, because that's what it is.""So may you see that how you love others is how you love God. That's it. That's the way of love. That's the way of Jesus."
Sunday, September 04, 2005
So i'm here in missouri at my new school. i'm praying for God to send me some good friends. i've met some nice people so far but its still a little bit frustrating when i have people like lizzy and kim back in georgia. but the weather is really nice. and i love the corn fields. i was driving back to school tonite and the sun was going down and it was just beautiful. o by the way i'm dropping the education part of my major. and only doing art. i'm excited. i thought my dad would kill me but he isnt.shane and shane were amazing the other nite and so was the band before them, Monk and Neagle. anyway...i miss ya'll.and i love you.
Thursday, August 18, 2005

Monday, July 11, 2005
so i'm off to thailand in 6 days. i'm really excited. satan is definately trying to make me feel like i'm not worthy to go. i talked about all this with my dad and he reminded me of the passage in Luke when Jesus is tempted in the desert by Satan. and it happened to be right before Jesus started His ministry. It just goes to show you that our lives can relate so much to the life of Christ and I dont know about ya'll but thats incredibly encouraging. anywho if i dont post again before i leave....please please pray for our group over there.....kim gordan, douglas porter, kate bushey, and jill hamilton are in my group too. i love you guys and leave some love so when i get back from thailand i have fun stuff to read!!

good times....rolling down the hill, tragedy at curves...more on that in a minute, woodward..nuff said, mine and joannas trip to good ol bill's, and of course having the food we want made for us...haha.
so the other day i went to curves with kim and stephanie. theres these things in between each machine where you can run or walk in place or do whatever...i was kinda jogging in place....well i got a lil excited and stepped off the back of it and twisted my ankle and went down hard! kim was laughing hysterically until she realized that i could not get up...it hurt soo bad. so now my ankle is huge and when people ask me what happened i have to tell them that i simply fell down.
anyway...schools almost over and i'm packing today. i will miss truett alot. still no word on uga yet. but i will let ya'll know.
correction: i did not get into uga.....but i might come back to truett...so there is still hope haha.

Saturday nite i went to the movies which was also good.....although it could've been better..... sunday i went to my wonderful church mountain lake. then i had to go to a farewell party for my family. i saw a whole bunch of people that i hadnt seen in like 7 or 8 months. it was fun. last nite i stayed up till 2 cuz i was in the student center with roomie and doug. that was fun too. anyway.......

Sunday, March 20, 2005
so i just got back from my first disciple now weekend. it was really good and i had alot of fun. it was very tiring. we talked about true love waits and i learned alot just by teaching. it was awesome. kim and i had four wonderful sweet girls who were very talkative which was good and bad. we also played paintball and i absolutely loved it so if anyone ever wants to go then i will be more than happy to go with you. i also sprained my ankle and you might so o you did it while paintballin....o no i sprained it just walking down the hallway!!!! so right now i'm icing my ankle and i hope the swelling will go down soon. anyway....God blessed me in a huge way this weekend and he's been doin that alot lately. and its so exciting!!!! i hope everyone has an amazing week.
Wednesday, March 16, 2005
Today is Wednesday.
I went to 7/22 last nite and I walked in the auditorium and immediately started crying. They were painting!!!!! I was so excited and I still am. The last time I saw that being done was when God told me that was what I was supposed to do. Seeing it again just ignited that passion in me all over again. I can't wait to go to Missouri and get started on my major. The school I'm going to has a room for just drawing!! I mean come on a whole room for drawing. I am sooo excited. Anyway, I learned last night that we are all to be reflectors for our Jesus. I'm trying my hardest, actually I'm praying that Jesus will just shine through me and I won't have to do anything.
heres a cool song:
Run
by Snow Patrol
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it any where
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think i might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if its just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

i just love puppies. and i have to give mine away. he's not exactly a puppy but i call him my puppy. so if you know of anyone that wants an 11 year old lab with lots of room for him to run pleeeaasseee let me know. this dog kinda looks like Admiral but Admiral is a lil bit darker...kinda like the georgia red clay color.
Wednesday, January 19, 2005
ok i'm sorry i'm not gonna make ya'll post on that last one but do read it....anyways...i'm wondering when its gonna snow cuz it needs to...soon.
anyway.......heres a puppy to cheer you up:
ok so this is the story of my life basically and i got this from the chicken soup for the soul site:
He was perfect. The exact mix of bad boy and intellectual that I was looking for, and good looking, as well. He was six feet, three inches, with a medium build, dark brown hair and deep brown eyes I just wanted to gaze at for days. And probably did, when I got the chance. As much as I like to pretend that I’m above all those cheesy crush feelings, I’m not. The best part of this particular crush was that, unlike so many of my others, he actually knew my name. He had my number stored in his cell phone and even used it! I swear I used to hear wedding bells when I saw his name on my caller ID.My friends were not his biggest advocates, to say the least, and you can bet they let me know it. I heard everything from “You can do so much better,” to “He sucks, plain and simple.” My logic remained unchanged. If I could do better, why wasn’t I? I couldn’t understand why my girlfriends didn’t like him. Okay, so maybe he used to show me his photo albums and point out all the girls he had dated. Yeah, he’d complain about the lack of an available hot girl in his life. But they didn’t know him like I did. Isn’t that always the case? A few days before Valentine’s Day, he sent me an instant message saying, “Red, pink, peach, white or yellow?” I immediately knew that he was asking me my preference in rose colors. I selected red, the most romantic kind. After the color, we debated between a dozen or a half-dozen. After that, to include a card, or send them anonymously. He had mentioned during the conversation that he simply wanted to “make some girl’s day.” I was convinced that I was “some girl.” Three hours after we began chatting, we had chosen a half-dozen red roses, to be sent anonymously. We had also, unfortunately, discussed all the possibilities among the girls he could surprise. When I playfully suggested that I be the recipient of the Valentine’s Day bouquet, I was swiftly shut down. “Don’t be greedy,” was his reply. After the incident, I immediately ran down the dorm hallway to relay the entire conversation to my friends. I was only partially upset about the outcome. I was more excited that he had just spent three hours asking me for advice. They rolled their eyes, knowing all they could do was wait it out, and eventually, I’d come to my senses.Valentine’s Day arrived, and since I had no date, I went about my business as I would any other day. When I returned to my dorm room after classes, I was shocked to find a vase of red roses on my dresser. I counted them, exactly six. I searched for a card, and found none. Could it be? I knew it! He had gone through the pains of making me so sure I wasn’t going to get those flowers just so I would be extra shocked when I found them.A few moments later, four of my closest friends bounded through the door. They handed me a small envelope.“It goes with the flowers,” they said. I opened it, and it read:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
He doesn’t love you
But we sure do.....Yeah, I was disappointed, but only for a minute, because I realized at that moment how foolish I had been.I hugged my friends, and the unworthy boy was forgotten. My friendship with him has since faded, and frankly,I don’t miss it. As for those four girls? They’re keepers.
why don't guys treat me how i should be treated...i mean i can prolly count on one hand how many guys have even looked at me today...and i'm sorry if i'm venting but this is how i feel. its just so frustrating and dont even tell me how you feel cuz i really dont think you do!!!!

this is to my future husband:
Tell her you think shes AMAZING. Tell her why you think shes so amazing. Play with her hair. Talk to her in movie theatres. Snuggle, Hold her hand, and lightly KISS her. Hold her hand and walk. Hold her hand and run. Just hold her hand. Pick flowers from other peoples yards and give them to her. Tell her she looks BEAUTIFUL. Introduce her to your friends as "The most amazing girl I know''. Sit in the park and talk to her. Take her to the library, ice skating, playgrounds, and coffee shops. Tell her stupid jokes... Whatever it takes to make her laugh. Write poems about her. Walk with her, even if its just around the block. Throw pebbles at her window at night. SURPRISE HER. Do things that make her SMILE, make her LAUGH, and make her want to KISS you right on the face. BE SPONTANEOUS. When she starts yelling at you, tell her you love her. Give her back rubs. Play football with her. Let her fall asleep in your arms. Call her even if its just to say hi. Call her back if she calls you. Jump on the bed with her. Whisper in her ear. Sing to her, no matter how bad you are. Carve your names into a tree. Get her mad, then KISS her. Push her on swings. Stay up with her all night. Leave her little unexpected notes.. on the car, or on her door, saying how much she means to you. Take her to romantic places and lay out blankets to look at the *stars*. Make up nicknames for each other. Show up at her work or apartment unexpectedly. Send flowers and dorky notes that only you two understand. Teach her guitar. Lend her your cds. Make her cds of songs that remind you of her. Write her letters. If she asks you to go to a show with her, go, even if it means a 5 hour car trip. Go on a road trip even if theres no destination or you cant be gone long. Listen to her favorite songs. When shes sad or sick, hang out with her or stay on the phone with her, even if shes not saying anything. Buy her ice cream. Let her take all the pictures of you SHE WANTS. Look into her eyes. Slow dance with her, even if the music is fast. Make her a romantic dinner for special days. Remember dates.. even ones like your first kiss or date and surprise her on the anniversary. Kiss her in the rain. Kiss her when she least expects it. When you fall in love with her, TELL HER.

ps. i got the dirty dancing soundtrack and leg warmers for christmas....o yea.
and i'm getting a massage tomorrow for an hour that makes me happy
Sunday, December 19, 2004

Friday, December 03, 2004
tonite is formal!!! i am very excited and can't wait to dance. and for all of you that think dancing is wrong....please read about david in the bible who danced for jesus in the streets in his underwear while he was king! thank you and have a pleasant day.
Tuesday, November 30, 2004
today is tuesday and its very stressful around here at truett. and i think we all just need to remember that God will not make us go through anything we can't handle. so finals.......its okay we can do it with Jesus! i hope everyone has a great day and a great week too.
Friday, November 19, 2004
This is what i feel like today:

Tuesday, November 16, 2004
its tuesday......j/k i'll write more today. Tonite i went to 7/22 and it was amazing. Everytime i go it just encourages me so much. I'm reminded that Jesus loves me sooo much and i don't think anyone can hear enough of that...i know i can't. Louie talked about knowing not only that God is good and not only is God, God but God is Almighty. And he talked about what all that entailed and how we always say Lord, Lord, Lord but yet we don't do what He says. It hit home pretty hard for me. I'm having better days this week and its all because I am drawimg closer to Him. So...i have concluded that if you ever have a hard, diffucult, crummy, no good day just tell Jesus about it and then just listen.
Monday, November 15, 2004
Its monday.........
Wednesday, November 10, 2004
so today is wednesday and its been a tough week. i failed a test today or at least i think i did. but...switchfoot was amazing and to all of you that missed it, sucks for you. i was like 5th row and it was just incredible.i need another fun day like that. i think everyone should have a fun day at least once a week. anyway, i hope you all are having a better day than me.
Monday, November 08, 2004
Here is all i have to say today!!!!!
SWITCHFOOT CONCERT TONITE!!!!! O YES!
Friday, November 05, 2004

Hey everyone and happy monday! I had a wonderful weekend in Jekyll (did i spell it right?) Island. Even though we had to leave early it was still a trip I won't forget. I've become a lil bit closer to some of my buds....ocean time with Kim and Kristen..such fun. And I've also made new friends and to God I am thankful for that. God worked through our hearts this weekend, including mine, especially mine. I've decided to change my major from Biology to Art, my true passion. I am so excited that I'm going to get to do what I love to do for God's glory.
I would like to ask all of you to pray for my dad as he is announcing his resignation from senior pastor at his church this Sunday. And also pray for both my brothers who somehow managed to both break their arms within a few days of each other...its a great story and I'd love to tell you about it sometime.....
I hope everyone has an amazing week....and remember that we are all blessed beyond belief by God our Father.
Tuesday, September 21, 2004
so today is tuesday and its been a beautiful day that God has made.i had art today and i really think that God is speaking to me and telling me that that is what i'm supposed to do. i need a lil prayer for this...cuz right now i'm a biology major and i want to do what God has planned for me. anywho, i'm really excited cuz tonite is 7:22 and its all about God and His Glory and i can't wait. i hope everyone has a fabulous day!!!
ps heres a nice lil pic

Good wednesday to everyone...i am extremely tired today but for good reason. last nite was the kickoff for 7:22 and it was incredible. God moved in a mighty way and I was blessed beyond belief. After 7:22, a few of us decided to eat at Steak and Shake...yummy....well we met this guy on the way there(yes while we were driving) and he ended up coming with us...we had an awesome time all together and then we all got up to pay. Ross (our good friend that we had just met) went ahead of all of us then left. Blake and I were next and they told us Ross had paid for it all.....we were all shocked....I wasnt sure if i was going to have enough money to pay for my dinner and neither did Lizzy. All we could say is God is good!!!
I hope everyone has a fabulous day and CC1 is gonna whoop up on CC3 tonite.

This is one of my favorite songs ever and i just thought i would share it with you:
I don't know how to say exactly how I feel /And I can't begin to tell you what your love has meant/I'm lost for words/Is there a way to show the passion in my heart /Can I express how truly great I think you are/My dearest friend/Lord, this is my desire
To pour my love on You/Like oil upon your feet/ Like wine for you to drink/Like water from my heart/I pour my love on you/If praise is like perfume/I'll lavish mine on you/Till every drop is gone/I'll pour my love on you
ok so today is monday and can i just say the only good thing about mondays are that they contain bsu....i dont really like biology cuz its hard and my teacher is a crazy man....but anyway i had sooo much fun this weekend goofin off with the girls. i'm so glad you guys are my friends(awww)...thats kinda corny but WHO CARES?? everyone have a wonderful monday and i hope to see you all at bsu this lovely nite.
