syncing.

i just got a new 32gb 4th gen ipod touch as a reward for my ACT score. i'm stoked. really, though. it's super fun. one thing i'm not having fun with, though, is having to re-sync all of my songs, apps, etc. oh well, it will be well worth it.

in other news, turkey day is in less than two weeks, and i finished my supplemental information for Belmont and i'm mailing my application on Monday!!!!!

mmm.

T. Sweezy is sneaky.

she hid messages in her lyrics. if you have the digital booklet, check it.

i hate editing. i'm sitting down to edit my essays for Belmont. it's torture.

i spend way too much time editing yearbook spreads. that's even worse.


on the bright side, i'm on the swim team. it's great.

and i'm going to see precious Hannah Bushey this Thursday. happy day.


oh, and did i mention i was voted most school spirited by the senior class? yah, two words: BOO. YAH.

and this is my life.

homecoming consumed my life last week. with spirit week, the pep rally/parade, the game, one of my best friends, Hayden, being on court, and the rave (yes, a rave), afterward, i'm exhausted.

let me comment on this rave, really quick. it was probably the cleanest rave ever. and i loved it. i had the most fun. probably because the presh sophomore girls i danced with thought i was really cool and funny. good self-esteem booster.

today i submitted my senior verse and quote for the yearbook. the quote is over there >> under my pic. the verse is this: "How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God." - Psalm 84:1-2. it was between this, 2 cor. 3:17-18, and psalm 27:4.

yah. this is boring

i also just finished my first of three essays for the Belmont application. oh joy.

i'm about to call Shelby.

and this is my life.

fly.

mmm.


1. it's fall. and by gosh, it's about time... every day, when i drive home, it LOOKS like fall... but when i get out of the car, i immediately start sweating (okay not really, but it sure does feel like it).

2. i'm leading "Holding Nothing Back" at church tonight. and i'm pumped. also, this probably will mean nothing to you guys, but we are now playing with in-ear monitors. it is the best thing to ever happen to our worship band. it really does help SO MUCH.

3. i am going to Nashville this weekend. Belmont preview day. !!!!!! and i get to see Gabi :]]

4. i LOVE being school spirited. i found this really old basketball jersey a couple of weeks ago... i'm not even sure whose it is or how it ended up at my house. but that paired with the beads and cap, it's perfect. my mom thinks i'm crazy. i don't really care. also, this is my great friend, Hayden Miller. i could talk about her for a while, but i just don't have time. she is such a blessing.

dwell.

journal entry:
9/1/2010

"i'm content. Exactly the place didn't want to be--my life is wonderful. i'm seeing the Lord's blessings in every area of my life; but that am i doing to bless Him? sure, i'm still seeking Him, but i have let my focus be pulle away. as i wonder where to go next to pull myself out of this drought, i've come across several scriptures that contain the word DWELL. (psalm 27:4, psalm 84, psalm 61:4, psalm 63). i know what it means to experience the Lord's presence. i've been there! but i should desire to dwell in the presence--to be with Him where He is. sure, He meets me wherever i am, but if i seek Him, we will meet in His glory. my prayer from psalm 51 is "cast me not away from Your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me" (v. 11). i want to be led by the Spirit in everything. i want Him to guide my every thought, word, action, decision...

i desire to dwell in the house of the Lord and submit to everything He guides me to do."

You are joy, You are joy, You're the reason that i sign. You are life, You are life, in You death has lost its sting. //// oh, i'm running to Your arms. i'm running to Your arms. the riches of Your love will always be enough. nothing compares to Your embrace. light of the world forever reign. //// You are more, You are more than my words will ever say. You are Lord, You are Lord, all creation will proclaim. You are here, You are here, in Your presence i'm made whole. You are God, You are God, of all else i'm letting go. //// my heart will sing no other name, Jesus. Jesus.
