"A window of Glass...."

Disclaimer: I know these could have been printed in better quality but, I just was having a tough time and had been in the dark room from 8:30-11:50 pm!

Update

* My stress is relieved finally. I dropped Women's chorale and Christian Beliefs. I just wasn't doing so hot in WC and to be honest my Prof not so fond of. Christian beliefs I could have made a better effort but it was just too tough, and I'll have to take it again later. It'll be better the second time.

*I was a flapper for Halloween.

*Katie withdrew 2 Tues. ago. Things have been boring without her.

* I'm planning on becoming more involved in the cause Invisible Children. I'm talking about it on the show tonight and other such things. Was introduced to it in High School.

* Still jobless. The worship leader interview went well, but Pastor Willy Burns suggests I go to a service and we'll go from there.

*Been struggling with darkroom.

* I experienced a personal miracle. If you wanna know, find a private way of askin!

S'all for now unless I forgot it.

The threshold is smaller

(Disclaimer: Inspired by the George Fox Player's theme, you guys are wonderful!)

The door is open,
the choice is simple,
do I wait,
or do I leap?
Yet the choice is ne'er simple,
ne'er easy,
pushin' from all sides,
to go into the world,
yet my time has not come,
growth,
blooming,
blossoming,
takes time,

I reach for the door,
the handle shrinks,
I pull back my hand,
in fear,
cause I've yet to come,
threshold,
you grow small,

The door is open,
should I,
could I,
or even,
would I?
Is it my time?
Now?
Too many questions,
doubts,
hinder the quest,
expectations,
rising above call,
I'm not there yet,

I reach for the door,
the handle shrinks,
I pull back my hand,
in fear,
cause I've yet to come,
threshold,
you grow small,

Oh threshold,
you grow too small...

I've been doing a lot of poems but no updates.

*I'm still jobless but applying for a paid internship as a worship leadership. I have an interview on Thursday at 3:30. I think it says on job connect $100 a week, quite a lot for one week for a college kid!!! I did apply for Foxhole but didn't get an interview as there were lots of applicants.

*Things have been kinda stressful as there was some drama (of which I was not cause of) now it's died down, and I'm failing a class. If I don't do well I can't come back to Fox. =( However my other classes are fine, I enjoy all of them. I'm loving learning to pray with my hands. I actually did for a friend, I prayed to God only in sign, then translated for him.

*I still miss my friends that aren't here anymore, but I got to see Petey (Jennifer Rae Peterson). Jen Cushmen is coming down in Nov.

*The salsa dance was last night. My date was my good buddy Scottie Porter. We had a lot of fun and took lots of pictures. I also got the priviliage of dancing with Joey Bianco, Jay Miller and Chris Martin.

*Main event was superhero theme, we were the "Apartibles" after the Incredibles. We won third, I think PC... whatever that group was got first, and I think Co-Ed second.

*The 80's dance rocked. I finally got a 80's dance t-shirt, bright yellow with 80's dance on it followed by Pacman. (Wearing right now actually) The third place costume winners were two guys in sweats, 2nd girls dressed like Kiss, and Matthew David Dyrland-Marquis and friends as Packman and ghosts. There was a guy dressed like a bannana and Matt sprints around the quad while we're waiting to get in. Of course the ghosts followed. It was so funny!

* I'm doing horrible in Women's chorale, I almost dropped out. I've just been getting tired too quickly in class, not sure why. However I have stubborn friends who refuse to let me! =D

*My friends are amazing! They have been helping me and won't let me give up no matter how stressful this semester has been.

That's all for now I think!

Wrote like a month ago, Will you love me too?

You're a lost soul,
in the lonely world,
but you fail to see,
right next to you is me,
I've been there all this time,
while you've confided,
tears shine in your eyes,
as you look at me,

You cry on my shoulder,
because you know I care,
and you don't know where to go,
praying to find some peace,
cause it's a dark time,
and you wonder alone,
dreams like rain from the sky,
pouring down,

All your pain,
all your anger,
let go of it tonight,
feel the freedom,
the cool breeze under the night sky,

Take my hand,
and dance around with me,
lost in each other,
we don't have to hide,
because it's just you and me,
like we're the only two people here,
your hands in mine,
the stars above,
oh,
will you love me too?

The torn label

Labels,
hanging all around,
the scars they leave,
the broken people left behind,
because behind the label everyone,
has scar,

Don't you mark me perfect,
just because I'm a Christian,
I'm just another person struggling too,
we're not all the same,
even in same faiths,
backgrounds,
races,
no one is exactly the same,
nor perfect,
I'm tired of being told,
I can't do it,
because of my labels,
I'm ripping it off,
cause I am what I am,

Ugly,
beautiful,
jock,
geek,
emo,
sticks and stones,
for those who are called them,
but on the tag,
few ever read person,
would it kill the world,
to walk in another's shoes,
to not sling arrows,
but seek the truth,
behind broken eyes,
broken lies,

I am who I am,
I say what I am,
God knows who I am,
I know what I am,
cause I'm ripping at label,


Nobody's perfect,
who ever says it is selling something,
believe in one another,
because we need to live the Truth,
not through abuse,
fight to win the day,
ignoring what the world wants,
and stick to who or what matters,
the ones who care,
judging,
condemning,
hurts just as bad as pain,
Jesus make me the better woman,
because you see me right,
not annoying,
or anything else,
but something beautiful,
like You see everyone else,

I am who I am,
I say what I am,
God knows who I am,
I know what I am,
cause I'm ripping at label!!!
