Untitled

Oh Laura is the face in the misty light
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem

She gave her very first kiss to you

That was Laura...

But she's not the same anymore.

Typography Addiction

My advanced type class is so inspiring. TONS of work, but the things we find and look
at are usually beautiful and interesting. I saw this designers work yesterday in a book
and had to find more of Jo Ratcliffe:







and then I found her website:












I must say, most of her work is a little too dark and risque for my liking, however,
the remnant is delightfully inspiring to me.

Short hair/Long stature

::Sung to the tune of Cake's "Short skirt/Long Jacket"::

I want a guy with a mind like a wise man
I want a guy who knows he's blessed
I want a guy with shoes that shine
And eyes like the sea before a storm

I want a guy with some good avocations
Who's vast and classy
And good with his cash
He's praying with me daily
He's putting up with mom
He's telling me I'm beautiful
And guarding his mind

I want a guy with some short hair and a lonnnng stature......

I want a guy who's very burly
I want a guy who hates to date
I want a guy with indubitable sincerity
Who used a machete to get in good shape
With ginger ale that tastes like justice
He'll rejoice with a spark and lots of class

He's a blast and funny 
And doesn't have plaque
He's tearing up the dance floor
And true to his word

I want a guy with some short hair and a lonnnnng.... lonnng stature

I want a guy with determination
I want a guy with lots of good friends
And at the fish tank we will meet coincidentally 
We'll start to walk when we meet there again

He wants a car with seven seats for his family
He wants a car that will get us there
He's changing my name from mine to his last one
He's trading his sorrows for the Joy of the Lord

I want a guy with some short hair and a lonnnnggggggggg stature

Impossible is my New Favorite Word

Before you read this, I ask you to watch this. Please, it's old, it's Julie Andrews, and it's only 5 minutes:


I downloaded this song the other day and put this on my iPod. As I was on the bus to NYC Saturday, it came on shuffle. I love Julie Andrews, and I'm a big fan of fairy tales, so this just made me happy. But then as I listened to it, the Holy Spirit began ministering to me about the impossible, and how this word is going to become a very happy task for me. My advisor, yes, my advisor here at school, gave me this verse: Luke 1:37 "For nothing is impossible with God."

He's been speaking to me so often and so much clearer lately, and it's wonderful. Jesus romances me in all sorts of ways, even through fairy tales :-) Even though the link is of Cinderella, how often do you ever see fairy tale lives and happy endings like those that are in fairy tales? I know, not often. But that's not my point. Impossible things are happening everyday. I've watched someone been prayed over and had hearing restored to their deaf ears. I've seen miracles, even if they're small, happen. I've heard SO MANY great stories of missionaries around the world seeing full blown miracles. I want to be ALL OVER THAT! Every ounce of me wants to see the impossible be reversed. I want to see with my own eyes greater things! 

"Very truly I tell you, all who have faith in me will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." -John 14:12

This generation WILL see the Kingdom come to earth. This generation WILL behold the miracles we've been waiting for. This generation WILL see the next move of God, more powerful than EVER! This generation WILL experience His healing powers. I've said it before, I'll say it again, and I will disagree with you if you don't agree....I am living in the most exciting times to be alive ever. EVER! Tell yourself that everyDAY if you have to. I was born for such a time as this.

This gets my entire being excited...and I can start seeing and expecting things, right now:
Little story:
God's provided a college setting where I can openly and freely talk to my roommates about what I believe, and live a lifestyle like that. It's really cool, the conversations we've had have been wonderful. But I wanted something more. I talked to an older lady about this and she agreed with me, and was wondering if I could bring a bit of supernatural into the mix with my roommates, because a lot of talking is good, but there is no debate when the holy spirit comes into the room. So she gave me some things to look at and read and just encouraged me to pray for that and ask God to show me when the opportunity comes. 

Tonight, my roommate(who was previously in a minor car accident yesterday) came into my room and asked me to feel her forehead. She was warm, and she was afraid that there was a problem with her kidneys. 2 or 3 years ago she was hospitalized with kidney problems and now only 75% of her right kidney works (I think...) So she was really worried, has no insurance. She used my phone and while she was on the phone, I felt "the nudge." You know, that nudge that tells you to do something? I felt God telling me this was the opportunity I was waiting for. Go lay hands on her and pray for her.

I'm not gonna lie, I hesitated a bit...I didn't know how she'd take it, but I couldn't deny that it was God. So when she came back into my room I asked if she'd be comfortable with that, and she said yes and let me pray over her kidneys while laying hands on her back. I knew it was God, and she was thankful, and I trusted Him that He was going to make everything perfect, and I'm praying for the restoration of her kidneys (impossible? YES!) So she had our other roommate take her to the hospital to be safe, and she called me on her way back to tell me "YAY, JESUS! I twisted my back from the accident and that's it!"

I'm ecstatic. I found my passion. It's in the impossible. 

I was BORN to see the impossible happen.
