life...

so it's been a while since my last real entry....

i don't have anything completely original, but here is a tidbit of what i just wrote in my journal (yes i am a journal enthusiast) which explains my lack of blogging, since most of my energy is spent journalling....even though they are essentially the same. anyways....

I think that i shall write a chronicle of my adventures with mona on thursday....it all started at about 5pm when my dad took me to UNM when he was picking us Joshua. Well, you see, Joshua had to go to "the weekend" meeting. and, since i had a lack of meetings, i switched roles with Joshua and posed as a college student for the night.

so, off Mona and i do to the lovely local asian restaurant. i've been there twice now, but have yet to actually eat there. kinda weird, i know... so yeah, i sat there and watched Monique eat, while i drank my soap flavored water. Good times, let me tell ya!!

then off to the shuttle to get to miss Mona's car way off in the boondocks:) lovely UNM parking;) then to Nob Hill for some hard core not so shopping (considering the fact that no purchases were made). during this time i experienced quite a few first times, which is always a good thing (ok maybe i shouldn't say always).

so here's a list of the firsts:

1. first time in Urban Outfitters

2. first time in Buffalo Exchange (where we ran into Gina who was looking for cow-girl clothes for the weekend of course) so we attempted to help her in that search...

3. first time at other random stores of which i do not know the names. a hippie-ish store with all the spacers and tye-dye shirts you'll ever want to see. and a store with more records than i knew existed....

4. first time getting honked at while crossing central (crazy sketch albuquerquians...)

5. this one is my favorite: first time at Renovate. where i ran into a bunch of college kids- go figure! i also got the pleasure of Kristian Stanfill's amazing worship playing.

6. first time walking down central at nine o clock at night and not being scared for my life

so yes, this is it. hope you enjoyed. sorry my sentences are completely grammatically incorrect. it is a part of my "i want school to be over already" attitude:)

His beautiful creation

so if any of ya'll were observant yesterday, you would have discovereded that the sky looked alot like this. yes it has been photoshopped a bit....and yes, it was taken from a moving vehicle.....but the moral of the story is that God is by far the best artist i know!! so in conclusion, look outside every once in a while God has a beautiful creation out there.

ice cream shopping

Picking an ice cream is a serious decision. it takes much contemplation. this is a very important and stressful process. thank goodness we made it out alive and with some 88cent pints!!

Your love is strong- jon foreman

Heavenly Father
You always amaze me
Let your kingdom come
In my world and in my life
You give me the food I need
To live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive
The people that wronged me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place
I look at the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day

So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Chorus (3x):
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong

The kingdom of the heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens
Is buried treasure
Will you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

(Chorus 3x)

Our God in heaven
Hallowed be
Thy name above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us wicked sinners
Lead us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

Your love has no bounds...

Jesus Lord of heaven. I do not deserve the grace that you have given or the promise of your word. Lord i stand in wonder at the sacrifice You made. With mercy beyond measure, my debt You freely paid. Your love is deeper than any ocean, higher than the heavens, reaches beyond the stars in the sky. Jesus, Your love has no bounds! So at church last night, i was totally reminded of this song. Looking at the stars in the sky, thinking about how He died for our sins. His love truly has no bounds. That is such a comforting thing to know! That i have a relationship with the creator of the universe, and He loves me. Not because i deserve it, because i don't. But He still chooses to love me as filthy as i am, and call me His child.

this morning....

consisted of Bible reading, music listening, math homework, a london fog, and my dad. what more could i ask for!?

if new mexico could be described in a picture, this would be that picture. jk, not really. there would have to be some mountains in the background...but it's pretty amazing that we new mexicans can make a cactus look pretty. that is all i have to say...
