"even before i even know it's you, you've got my heart racing"

i laugh.
i cry.
i breathe,
i die.
i hope, in vain,
for you to say my name.
do i keep this candle burning?
or do a fall into the gutter..
do you know?
that my stomach is doing butterflies;
my heart is pumping double time.
i watch,
i'm silent.
i wish,
i pray.
perhaps today...
but no.
i wait.

and down the rabbit hole i fall..

it's like the puzzle is put in place, the wrong begins to right
that exhilarated feeling, lasts through the night.
so i'll begin to dance in the rain, so no one will see me cry...
i'd still lay down my life, for you, i'd die.
hopeless, they say, hopeless i may
so i shall wander, and correct my mistakes,
if love could bring me here, then love it shall take.

so the vagabond set out into the dark starry night
never to look back, but looking forward?
flying with, that hopeful? kite,
with all their might, armed their sword

like a candle in the wind,
fluttering all around
not making sense
not making any rhyme
wondering where in this maze you are
and what love really is....
if the wrong begins to right, and the puzzle piece fits into place,
why doesn't this all make sense,
why doesn't it rhyme?
all mysteries should have an end...
happy ending or no

if people knew how to make peace with each other
we'd all be in love and we'd all let music drive us into a dance no one would be able to stop
we'd dance until our deaths within our own red shoes
a circle around the earth because everyone loved us for love started us
and love shall kill us, till death do we part.

my mom's hilarious.
few years ago i brought home a boy who according to my mother, was the worst one.
he had a nose piercing through the middle.... and it was gauged. scrawny kid who didn't dress the best. guess if you'd actually go and label the poor guy he'd be "punk" or more "emo"
he's a good kid at heart.
don't get me wrong. i KNEW at the time not a cool guy to have. let him walk all over me until he got kicked out of his house then didn't talk to him [not because of that, but because he lost contact because of the phone]
what reminded me of this, was today at my brother's art show there was a girl there who dressed in the "punk" more like "emo" phase. my mother asked my brothers if they'd ever date someone like her.
i had to contain my laughter.. total slash against me hahahaha my poor mom she's still hurting from any boy i brought home.

i admired the girl for her individuality but the fact that if she moved you could see up her skirt, it was that short. the makeup was a little overdone but you know what really got me [as in i liked this]? fishnets, converse, and pink hair.

march the third

keelan turns fourteen today. FOURTEEN. oh. my. goodness. i can remember me being thirteen..... this seems ages ago. next year, he can go to driver's ed! i'm still not used to the fact that conner can get his license in three months.


on another note,

i saw the Lord ever before me;
because He is at my right hand,
i will not be shaken.
therefore my heart was glad,
and my tongue rejoiced.
moreover my flesh will rest in hope,
because You will not leave my soul in hell,
or allow Your Holy One to see decay.
You have revealed the paths of life to me;
You will fill me with gladness in Your presence.

amen!!!!



i LOVE annie leibovitz's photography:

seeing for the first time.

well. haven't been blogging very much. guess i've been either busy or felt nothing was needed to write in here.
but that's kinda not true. God's been doing a lot in my life. i guess i wasn't just opening my eyes and SEEING them. as i am writing this now [or, i guess, typing], i'm realizing this might be what God's been trying to TELL me. and show me. lol... aren't we BLIND!! mere earthly forms of images of God and how silly, BLIND things we are....
i forget so easily how much of God's love is around us. everyday, 24/7.

i'm in the process/middle of audition for Paradosi Christian Ballet Company - which i'm stoked and praying about. so i'm stuck in this limbo right now... lol... because of the beautiful waiting game. [next part of the audition is at the end of april]

yesterday i just got a call for an invite on taking a ballet class up in seattle from DASSdance [i had recently been training with them sorta summer/thru november] on sundays, which is awesome. i liked their style. and the fact that they still like to see me.

today i have an interview with the church, hopefully to help with little kids at services. we'll see how i will be able to juggle this between church, kids, dance, and birthday parties at the Y.

still working at the Y... you know. so-so. i hate my hours because there isn't enough but who hasn't complained about that. we're all happy because the one staff we all had come to be very annoyed with has left. i know that sounds awful, but it will help us immensely.
things happen which we're not all happy about, but again, it all happens for a reason.


i read about friends or people who go off on these far away missions and wonder why that hasn't happened to me? i could do it. [or so i'd like to think... i've come to realize just by reading their blogs that that would be a no... lol because they have a hard time..] once again i SAW within a mere application - missions are so highly lifted up when people go out of the church and go somewhere else and perform God's deeds. but God performs them, He uses us. and it does not matter where you go, whether it is "far away" or in your own neighborhood. no since i don't have a neighborhood.... i found this kinda deflating for myself... what is my mission? i know what my gift was... dance. but i didn't know how to use it with me and with my love of God.
i think i found my outing, and i feel strongly about it. i FEEL as this might be my calling, but i do not know yet. this feeling is an earthly thing. i won't know until God puts it on my lap, lets me SEE.

and a mission? God gave me one already, i was just too busy to SEE it. i have a coworker which God is leading to Himself. she bought a bible yetserday, and last night was her second time coming to community with me. i'm watching her grow within Christ, and its making me grow too. its a wonderful thing to accomplish, but alas, that makes me take credit that which is not mine - it is GOD's. and i am trying to steal from Him! again, my earthliness astounds me and shames me. we cannot take His credit! am merely a tool, or clay - He is shaping me, and helping me realize this. He is truly an awesome God.

amen.
