Everything

Next Wednesday, since the Freshmen class is in charge of chapel, we decided to do the drama to Lifehouse's song "Everything". Now this was about a month ago, and I was really excited, especially since I had already done it, and this time, I get a different part...the main person.

We've paracticed twice a week for about a month, and although we never seem to have everybody at rehearsals due to other distractions, we have to completely improvise one part because nobody wanted to wear a dress, our Jesus is a little nervous about the dancing, and we still haven't gotten through the entire song, I think it's coming along great.

We still have a few days until the chapel, so hopefully we'll be able to pull it together, but even so, only God knows how it's going to end, and whatever happens we have to accept it.

I'm Letting Go- Francesca Battistelli

This is the song I got my title from, and am sharing it with you...
My heart beats, standing on the edge
But my feet have finally left the ledge
Like an acrobat
There’s no turning back
(Chorus)
I’m letting go
Of the life I planned for me
And my dreams
I’m losing control of my destiny
It feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
So I’m letting go

This is a giant leap of faith
Trusting and trying to embrace
The fear of the unknown, beyond my comfort zone
(Chorus)

Giving in to your gravity
Knowing You are holding meI’m not afraid
(Chorus)
Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe
Feels like I’m falling and this is the life for me

GNO. Happy Valentine's Day.

Valentines Day isn't my favorite Holiday, it never has been, but spending it with friends was so much fun. Baking cookies, watching movies, not feeling like an idiot for having flour all over you, and eating as much pizza as you want,

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (New International Version)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

starting a new adventure. soy feliz!

Right now, I'm REALLY excited! On Friday (Friday the 13th), my sister and I got the news that we were accepted to go to Guatemala this summer with Brio magazine. The last month has been crazy, filling out applications, worrying, praying and waiting.
This month will be filled with fundraising and waiting patiently for God to provide.
I'm really excited that I will be able to participate in this adventure and I'm hoping that God will use me in any way he can.
ttyl,
Joy
