i can't wait!

1 week. We are going to party DOWN!!!

Any suggestions for me for a costume? I'm thinkin' ugly betty.

Seriously.

Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. My car got hit last night while parked. Hit and run.

Yes, it could have been worse. But WHAT THE HECK??!!!

I can't even find the words to begin to explain why i am flabergasted.

however, this all got me to think about God.

I incorrectly viewed Him as a side-swiper, hit and runner, for a long time. i thought He would wait until I got good and comfortable, and then WHAMM!, take off my drivers mirror or send a head-on collision my way.

I know, I know. I hate to admit that. It is really rediculous. but after careful inventory and some quiet inspection, I realized the distance I had allowed between an amazing, Loving God, and my little accident-prone heart.

He is the repairer and healer of all things; He can't help but be drawn to the broken and hurting, the lonely and lost. I am so thankful for the goodness of my God, and for the hit-and-run that put me right back at His feet.

What i have discovered.

I have discovered that I am very prone to take you up on a dare. I am wild and crazy and out of controll. And I refuse to go down by myself. Thanks, Connalitha. I know Lori would have been right with us.

Don't get me started

My favorite people in the world are coming to the big D in T-minus 14 days.
Not that I am excited or anything...

Friends in all places

I love this moment because I was with some of my very favorite people in this world, on one of the most perfect days of this, my favorite season, Fall.

We are looking for my marbles...

For my patiently-waiting fans

There's something to be said about not saying anything. Silence used to make me so uncomfortable. But I am learning that I am more apt to save myself from an apology, or to actually process what the heck is going if I just listen and shut up!

Also, my wonderful amazing friend is in town, and I am realizing how stinkin' spoiled I am in this department. Got some pretty cool peeps in my little life. That in itself attests to a God who is involved in this thing called life.

I will also take a moment to let you know that not only did I get my drummer, but a new band member altogether. Very nice, very nice.
