as you can probably tell, i am not too hardcore about posting lately. BUT... i just have a couple things to say.
ummm first i love auburn. and everything about it.
second, next weekend is going to be freaking amazing.
and third... tuesday the 9th, um i kinda cant wait for that day either.
that is all.
ever since i moved for college... i haven't had that "home" feeling. it has been a really cool, fun, CRAZY experience so far... but i just don't have that "home" feeling. anyways... this weekend, being at david and farah's is like being at home. it definitely is not, and could not ever be my real home. obviously its missing the essentials... my mom, dad, and jarvis [and dewey if you want to count him]. but after them... this is home. my pictures are here. i am in a frame on the table in the kitchen [along with other... kind of weird if the frame was just of me, haha]. the people i love are here... obviously david and farah and the boys. and not only are they here... but they constantly remind me of home back in washington. with them, we are always talking about... remember when, fill in the blank. its really nice, and i love it. but also bryan and karen are here. even though they didnt ever live in washington... my first memories of them are there, so they remind me of home too. just hanging out at their house watching the auburn game feels like home. i have even made memories here that remind me of home... with dylan, with talicia, with amanda, cameron, and andy... they are all from washington. and when i walk up the driveway and remember them walking with me, or sit down on the couch at spin and remember sitting with them... its almost like they are here too. it is so weird to be so far away... to a place i have only visited 3 times... and feel so great about it. i basically love it... if you dont get the picture :)
and wow dylan... if you ever read this... thanks for making me addicted to doing the [...] thing. grrr.
This song is just amazing. I love it. The words, the music... its awesome.
When I look into the mountains I see Your face
When I look into the night sky it sparkles Your Name
The wind in the clouds and the blue in the sky
The sun and the moon and the stars so high
That's what draws me to You
Chorus:
I am
I'm captivated by You
(You know that You do)
I am
I'm captivated
When I wake unto the morning it gives me Your sights
When I look across the ocean it echoes Your might
The sand on the shore and the waves in the sea
The air in my lungs and the way You made me
That's what draws me to You
Chorus x2
The wind in the clouds and the blue in the sky
The sun and the moon and the stars so high
The sand on the shore and the waves in the sea
The air in my lungs and the way You made me
The blood in my veins and my heart You invade
The plants how they grow and the trees and the shade
The way that I feel and the Love in my soul
I thank you my God for letting me know
Chorus x2
I am... (synthesized)
david isbell is the lamest blogger of all time... just putting that out there.
Ahh!! Who knew moving across the country would be so stressful? If you do not know me [which I am sure you do] I absolutely love planning, down to every little detail. Planning my wedding will probably be the highlight of my life, haha. Ask me what I am doing at Christmas time, my spring break, next summer... I know them all. I plan things so much ahead of time, its crazy. And besides planning, I like everything to be in perfect order. And for everything to be in order, I usually have to be in charge. Talicia says I'm bossy, but I prefer the term "leader". :)
Anyway, I have a feeling this obsession with planning and perfection isn't necessarily the best thing for me. When things aren't planned out nicely and perfect, I get really worried, nervous and frustrated. Obviously those things aren't very healthy.
I got extremely nervous when my tuition payment was due, I didn't have a car, and I only had enough money for one or the other. I am upset that I don't have money for clothes or other things I need... but... obvious answer coming... God has it all in control!!!
With my tuition and car issue... I prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed!!! It was either pay for classes and have no way to get there, or get a car but have my classes dropped!!! THAT NIGHT... Karen texted me and asked if I still wanted their car. I told her I would have to talk to my mom, and hopefully get back to her. Then in the morning, my mom called with a plan about the car and tuition... and Karen said it would work! I couldn't believe it... I went from thinking life was over [yeah a little dramatic], to having just the things I needed, at just the right time. Now I have completely renewed faith that He will provide the other things I have been worried about getting. God knows what He is doing!! I love it.
So tonight, I went to Good Hope's youth group with Kristen, and Tim is out of town. A couple boys were speaking since he was gone, and what was it about? Matthew 6:30-34. I had heard these verses many times before... but never had it hit me like it did. It completely addressed all the things that I have been recently dealing with!!
I have read and re-read it many times tonight. It is very hard for me to focus solely on today and what God wants TODAY... right now. But I am going to try. I'll keep you updated!!! :)
Anyway...."If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way He works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how He works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. " -Matthew 6:30-34 [the message]
WOW... I haven't posted something in so long. I don't even know if anyone still checks this!! I am currently living in Millbrook, AL and going to school at AUM. Which I am pretty sure anyone who reads this already knows those facts. Besides that, it is SUPER hot here. Not unbearable though. I like being within driving distance Dylan and the Isbells. Even though it is kind of a long drive... haha. Anyways hopefully I will have some more cool updates soon. :)
Today is my last day of high school EVER. Monday is my check out day, which includes an assembly and an early release. Today I take my last two finals, and then YAY I am done. I am so happy, I will be able to sleep in for a long time this summer :]
these strangers came to my bus stop with hot chocolate and now i am moving to alabama.
thanks!! haha.
i am feeling a bit random. no one has updated their blogs in like 5 years. school is a bit boring. i have no work to do, all my stuff for graduation is done... and its been that way for a while. after those blogs about re-arranging furniture a while ago, i decided to re-arrange my room and its pretty awesome. i love doing that kind of stuff. like when i am bored... my mom walks in my room and is like, "meagan?!? what is all this stuff?" and i am just like, " welp, it all came out of my closet. i'm just organizing." and i feel like my closet needs organized pretty soon. haha. sooo uhh, i am walking at graduation with my dear friend amanda otis. even though that means i cant sit by her. so i will be sitting by my other dear friend jessica. haha. this is so random. but yeah, graduation. its in like, 3 weeks. which means dylan and kristen will be here in LESS THAN 3 weeks. wow. crazyyy. and i am going camping without my parents for the first time EVER this weekend. talicia, amanda, kelsey and i are going to ocean shores for memorial day weekend [this weekend]. i am pretty stoked. and i just felt like an update, so there you go. [[farah, david... you guys are a bit behind. you should, how should i say this.... UPDATE your blogs? great idea. i love it. :) ]]
