one more before i leave

my family and i are going outta town for the week to the beach.

it should be....


interesting.



Don't get me wrong! i LOVE my family, it's just, we're family, and we're comfortable being ourselves. we all have our lovely downfalls that make us all in our own special way, great to be around. i'm praying that we will all keep ourselves (and each other) in check this week. but it will be great to get away one more time before school starts (ACK!).

i now have 3 books (thank you Brandon ^_^) i have to finish reading before fall: Crazy Love by Francis Chan, Starving Jesus by Craig Gross and JR Mahon, and finally, Dare 2 Share by Greg Stier. i just wish i liked reading more. well, i do, i just don't make time. i choose other things, like sleeping or mind numbing tv. i'd love to be that cool mysterious girl you see in local coffee shops with her nose in a book. but i'm too busy being (as my aunt says) a free-spirit.

my prayer life has come back to life. i don't think i ever really realized it was dead. i also have Brandon to thank for that. i find myself leaving the radio off and just talking with God. or laying in bed before i doze off praying for my friends and family and our world. i'm trying to desperately to stop praying for myself so much. i wish i were not so selfish... i'd also like some more patience. but that's a different story.

my eyes hurt they're so tired, but my phone is in the middle of updating and i can't really stop it right now. crap.

i'll write more profound thoughts later when i can think clearer.
