I was lied to for the past uhm 6 days. NBD? False. I hate it.
Why do guys feel it's necessary to make a girl look really bad in front of her friends, and lead her on? I don't think that's very nice.
I just don't understand the thought process of kissing a girl and holding her hand in public but then all of the sudden deciding you don't like her? Especially after the guy told the girl otherwise. I don't understand.
During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving thelast question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. + + Joann C. Jones
Has your mind ever started racing with thoughts that you don't want to think about?
This happened to me just now as I was leaving someone's house. I just all of the sudden had flash backs to a lot of stuff I don't want to go into detail about it, but it all reminded me of one thing:
LIFE IS PRECIOUS
Tomorrow isn't promised, and I think we all take that "stupid" little saying for granted. But it's FACT. I know for a fact that I've gone to bed and thought someone would still be on Earth tomorrow, and woken up to a grim reality. Every time I get in the car, well that could be it, I pray it's not. But you never know what God has in store for you.
Since Thursday I've been spending a lot of time with one person, and it just reminds me about I should remember that I may never see them again, I know that sound grim, but it's reality. I need to enjoy it. Not worry about tomorrow because it has enough worries of it's own. LIVE NOW. Life for the moment.
I went to Austin tonight to see Hillsong United and it was PHENOMENAL!!
I think that Hillsong has been sent from Heaven, no but seriously. Amazing stuff. I know some people are like "I don't know who Hillsong is." False. If you got a modern church or to Breakaway, we sing their songs almost every week.
It was so cool to see 4500 people from ALL walks of life in a building worshipping our Heavenly Father. Mind blowing, really. Hillsong's movement is incredible, and their music is just amazing.
It was really cool because the band would start to play the intro to the song and lead in to it and while they weren't singing, everyone in the audience was. It was incredible to hear and amazing to see.
Definitely the highlight of my year so far, and it gets me SUPER FREAKING pumped for next Friday!
CASTING CROWNS CONCERT=Kassie backstage...no big deal, right?
OHMYGOSHIMFREAKINGOUT. I can't believe how fast the concert is coming up, it's soon going to be all over :(
This weekend was FANTASTIC. And this week will be even better and will end on a high note (literally).
Tonight was Muster. It reminds every Aggie, why they are an Aggie.
I went with Valorie, who can really rock the indie look. Go check out her blog!
I have an interview tomorrow for an internship! Cross your fingers, this could really help me in the future!!
I am going more blonde on Friday, and I'm super pumped! :) I can't believe April is almost over...a week and 2 days until CASTING CROWNS and I'm backstage working! WHOOP!
I'm crying for no reason. I'm upset for no reason. WHY?!
I thought things were going well in my life. I made up with a friend last night, well we were cool for a few days, but we talked about it and we're going to lunch tomorrow. Awesome right? God rocks.
Casting Crowns is 16 days, you know, no big deal. Wrong. I'm super stressed and nervous, I wanna do good because this could help me get a job in the future!! Pray for me! The lady from KSBJ comes up tomorrow and we get to tour Reed then go to lunch. Pray for a good conversation, and a great time!
Just pray for me to not be stressed, and to start getting a normal sleep pattern. This sleep pattern is effing me up right now. :(
Just pray for me and relationships in general. Family, friends, boys, girls, teacher, whatever. Pray for me, I need guidance in those.
God never ceases to amaze me though, he's surrounding me with great people, and I really need that. And he's answered a prayer about another job! :)
Lord, put me where you want me. This means school, work, relationships. Use me, put me there. Help me tame my tongue, and speak positive about people and build them up. Help me put you first, and other first. Anyone but me first, help me not be selfish. Help me live for you better. I love you Jesus. Thank you for all you are. I love you! Amen
Thanks for reading guys. I love you guys!
Your glory fills the sky, a great and holy light Shining like a million stars, I'm amazed by who you are Lord we lift you high, Oh God be magnified You have overwhelmed my heart, I'm amazed by who you are

Their CD that came out in October is fantastic, I'd recommend you all buy it!
This weekend didn't go as scheduled, at all. But it was good nonetheless... :)
I saw my best friend briefly but there's a lot more to that story that I really wouldn't rather go into!
On a good note, I got another job!! At a super cute bistro in downtown Bryan called "Square One." I have a feeling I'll be making pretty good money, and I'm super stoked. I start Thursday!! I applied for my 3rd job for the summer, working with the Brazos Valley Bombers!! I interview on Thursday. Looks as if, Thursday will be a busy/good day for me!
Saturday I was pretty much at Island Party all day, like I mentioned...well this band Chasen played and blew my mind, and this song I'm going to post the lyrics of are my favorite! It talks about Christ love for us, and how it goes, you guessed it, on and on!
On and On
Chasen
Awake tonight I’m breathing the air of the night sky Listening and wanting An answer to questions You’re wondering I never thought it ever would be possible To cross the lines we drew That govern what we say and do But no height and no depth could separate us
Some say we need a miracle Some say there’s no hope at all But I know that Your love is strong, it goes on and on and on and on Rise up when it gets us down It’ll be the voice in a blaring crowd Because we know Your love will lead us home It goes on and on and on and on…
I tried my way It always ends up being a mistake But You’re right when You say That You set the time for the plans You make I never thought that I could ever learn to let it go Somehow its better when I follow in the paths You show So I’m here I’m waiting Cause I believe
Some say we need a miracle Some say there’s no hope at all But I know that Your love is strong, it goes on and on and on and on Rise up when it gets us down It’ll be the voice in a blaring crowd Because we know Your love will lead us home It goes on and on and on and on…
There is no fear of belief There’s just this cold reality That wants to take me away from You There is no doubt in my mind That in Your perfect time Your plans and Your ways will unfold.
So if we aren't really friends in real life, leave me a comment. I really wanna know if anyone reads my blog, but I created another blog kind of my journal moreorless...nothing too spectacular. I just don't keep a diary on real paper, I mean who does that?
Island Party was AWESOME today! Shawn McDonald, Chasen and Kutless all blew my mind.
I saw this movie last night...it was remarkable. Here's the trailer:
It made me think about my life. Why am I here? What do I think about certain things?
Some of the topics they touched on were, Identity, Worth, Alcohol, Sex, Church..etc.
In one scene they were talking to two Brits and they asked "Do you have any christians friends?" They said "yes." Then one of the 4 guys in the movie asked "Do they act differently?" The lady responded, "No it's just they are busy on Sundays."
Ouch.
How true is this of our lives? We don't live the Christian life on any other day but Sunday. I got really convicted because after Beach Reach for the first week life was grand...these last few weeks not so much. I've done some bitter things, said some mean things, acted in some mean ways. This is all not pleasing to God.
The movie slapped me in the face and brought me back to reality. There was a quote at the beginning of the movie that most atheists are atheists because of CHRISTIANS. We say one thing, act different. The Lord really convicted me of that, because I live a double life sometime, and I shouldn't. I know I shouldn't. So that's why it's titled BEWARE OF CHRISTIANS, because really people need to beware of us!
The movie was great, and it really brought me back to what I need to be living for.
It may not be sunny outside, but with everything going on in my life it sure is SUNNY!! Things are going so well with Casting Crowns stuff, work, school. AHH! Life rocks.
As I’ve grown, I’ve learned several things. Life is full of disappointments and people you trusted will sooner or later let you down. I’ve learned that often those you love will love someone else and there's only one way to fall- fast and hard. I’ve learned that out of thousands of smiles, it takes one to touch your heart. I’ve learned that everything can change in the blink of an eye and tears often come without invitation. I’ve learned crying can make us stronger and there is never too much love to go around. I’ve found that every time you give someone a piece of your heart, it's a piece that you will never get back. I’ve learned the past is meant to be put behind us and we can't dwell on regrets, for what is done is done. I’ve learned that trusting yourself is the first step and that forgiving is remembering that helps your own heart more than theirs. I’ve learned some things aren't meant to be understood and only time heals. I’ve found that imagination is our greatest gift and that we are meant to dream for a reason. I’ve learned it is never too late to fall in love and that being 'beautiful' is all on the inside.
I'm done beating around the bush, when I'm pissed at someone I'm going to write about it, and this person probably will read this which is fine.
How do you start another blog so you don't have to censor yourself? If people care that much about what you say in YOUR blog, they obviously aren't your friends. Like who has to go start another blog for that? Let's be serious.
That's like me saying, I'm going to start another blog and not tell you so I can go talk behind your back. That's what it feels like. If you can't say it on your public blog don't freaking say it at all.
I think that's the stupidest thing ever to go create another "blog" so you don't have to censor yourself. Like what the hell? If you have to censor yourself on your blog maybe you should stop and think about what you say.
So stupid.
If I have a problem with someone I'll tell you, I'm not going to beat around the bush. That's immature.
So from now on, I will be blogging about everything, because alas I don't have a problem if one of my "friends" reads it because if they are my true friends they'll know why I'm mad, and we'll work through it and still be friends. Right?
