It seems to me... that individuality is lost in all our brainwashed humdrum. Unique is nothing more than a trend, and anything outside of that trend is labeled as strange by our finite minds. Strange things get rejected. Yet it is in the strange where we can often find the most meaning. When you accept the strange you break free from trends. Then you have the freedom to think clearly, to pioneer through worlds unknown, and to breathe air purified.
Strange you think? Ah, I chuckle at your trendy little world.
Lord, help us break from the mold("s, which do so easily beset us") and let us become free thinkers in Your world.

On a more trendy note... =P
Yep, you guessed it. I miss you all in dear, dull elnorasville. Use each moment to the max! It's over before you know it. Sniff.

Things I missed...
- My family. I'm so glad to have my mom back and just be a daughter again. I missed feeling totally protected by my dad. I missed doing everything with my big sister, sharing each morning with my little sister, laughing with my brother and dancing with my youngest sister.
- Quiet time. There is some weird type of euphoria in just being alone. Alone with God and my thoughts. I think sanity requires it.
- Coffee. Don't get me wrong, I had plenty of coffee at bbs. But I'm talking about the real, espresso-based coffee with frothy steamed milk and a rich aroma. My first Starbucks encounter was definitely one of complete satisfaction.
- Holmes County roads! I never thought I would...but I did. The rolling and cresting made me sick at first, but eventually it becomes a sort of rythm. Like a smooth, strange song... It's even better w/ warm summer breezes.
- My home, my room, and my bed--on FLOOR level. Ladders at 6:30 in the morning just aren't my thing.
Oy, I just missed a lot of things. I'm sure I could go on for hours...
Things I miss now...
- All you first termers! It's unbelievable the emotional drop you get when you leave a school full of Christian kids, and a surreal, almost cushioned Godly atmosphere. I am trying now to live moment by moment, day by day, completely in God. I won't dwell on the past, and I won't worry about the future. This is where God has placed me and I will do my best to serve Him in every capacity, and to give Him complete glory for everything about my life. ...I'm not sure how else I'd get through it all. To all of you, remember: God is our rock. He's there every minute of every day of our lives. He knows our every thought and heart cry. Don't count merely on human relationships, but build up something strong with your Creator. He's the Ultimate Friendship. Don't lose touch with Him...or any of us. =)
- I think I shall add to this list later...
Well, to bed I must go. I suppose bedtimes are never really lost...

Wow...I havn't been on here in so long it took me five minutes just to find the New Weblog Entry button. It was then I realized I was on the wrong page.
Tsk. I don't know why I even started. I need to go to bed...the daily grind tomorrow and all.
Sorry about not answering the comments...maybe someday. But it looks about as daunting as me becoming a cook.
so...
good night to one and all

Smile, It's the End of the World
By Hawk Nelson

God's universe is perfect, awing the mind. God's truth is subtle, baffling the intellect. God's law is complete, quickening the breath. God's compassion is fathomless, refreshing the soul. God's justice is absolute, lighting up the eyes. God's love is radiant, rejoicing the heart, more precious than the finest gold, sweeter than honey from the comb! Help me, dear God, to be aware of my selfishness, but without undue shame or self-judgment. Let me always feel You present, in every atom of my being. Let me keep surrendering myself until I am utterly transparent, allowing only Your love to shine through. Let my words be rooted in honesty and my thoughts be lost in Your light: Unnameable God, my essence, my origin, my life-blood, my home!
