Lying in bed,
unable to move,
only able to see and hear,
her friends worried faces,
in that hotel room,
doctors asking her to move,
but something is wrong,
she is frightened,
not sure what's going on,
Next thing she knows,
she is in another bed,
at the hospital,
not remembering,
even though she was conscious,
how she got there,
IV in her hand again,
Campus life pastor at her side,
far from home,
Would she be alright?
What if she had not woken up?
The worst part was,
seeing the fearful faces,
they were so unsure,
what to do,
she felt so,
scared,
unsure,
fearful,
her parents had always been at the bed side,
but they weren't there,
to hold their little girl's hand,
they would know,
they would be there,
telling her it would be ok,
Lying there,
full of what-ifs,
IV in hand,
so weak,
on that cold,
hospital bed.

More Kimberly Zerkel photography
"Someone who inspires me" or Forrest Cammack
"Improbable"(Not best quality, but be fair. I'm still a begginner! My final pictures I haven't put up on my computer yet!)
Since I'll be out of town until the 3rd... update for Dec.!
*Finals week was frustrating, I'd sleep really long, and that would take up a lot of the time I planned to study... grr... plus make up work meh. Glad that's over.
*So far so good. I got a D and B so far for my grades, the other 3 haven't been posted but I'm sure I did ok. So I'm pretty sure the 3rd I'll be back to school. I am going to aim to work harder while still having some fun. Least I'll have more time since I don't have dark room needs next semester.
*I saw the Princess and the Frog twice, soooo worth it!
*I did a presentation for ASL (American sign language). I signed to Untitled hymn (come to Jesus) by Chris Rice. It wasn't bad despite I didn't practice much and was nervous! =D Just an fyi, ASL grammar is different. Example, we'd say, I went to visit my sister. An ASL signer would sign, I visit my sister I or something like that. There is a sign form where you can sign it in the form we speak called Perfect English Signing (PES), but ASL is the form deaf culture uses.
*I debated on the swing dance, but still went, having to find a ride last minute. I went with (in the car) Elise Bowder and Cory. We went to Chipole (yum one of the only Mex places I like), then to the dance. I went dateless for the first time. I danced with my best buds Scottie Porter, Adam Hunt (not best bud yet but I hope we become so), Forrest Cammack, Jay Miller and some others.
It was fun and I took lots of pictures. We then went to this cool ice cream place and I got loose leave tea and a banana split (couldn't eat it all tho). My tea pot was an elephant! The china there was legit!
* I went to the Home Alone movie ASC played as well as the Christmas celebration. I rode on the horse cart as well as hung with Jay. It always starts with a candlelit thing, and I was too late to grab a candle. A girl handed me hers and I was trying to fix the paper that catches the wax to keep it from getting burnt. Despite my efforts it caught on fire. Brad Higgins was next to me. I handed him the candle and said help! He put it out. My friend Brad is my hero!
*The Christmas concert was even better this year. I was sad not to be part of it this year... but the lightning, decor, and songs were as beautiful as always. They added dancers this year, and when the choir and band did Amazing Grace, a bagpiper with legit Scottish kilt came in playing with them. He did beautiful, it sounded so beathtaking adding it in!!!
*Dec. 30th early we are flying to California mainly to see the Rose bowl because we are fans od both the Oregon ducks and Ohio State buckeyes. My mom's family will join us. I will mainly be rooting for the ducks due to being born in the state. We will also go to Disney land for a night...
* Biggest update: MY OLDEST SISTER KRISTIN IS ENGAGED AS OF TWO DAYS AGO! So my sister's bf (now fiancé) took her to the beach for the weekend. Not too long after he got there he said, "I have another Christmas present for you." She was confused because it was the day after. It was wrapped in paper and masking tape so it took a while to open it. As she was close to, he knelt down. "I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" So everyone but me and Grandma knew because apparently we couldn't keep it a secret. Anyway, Saturday we were at Target hitting the after Christmas sale and she called Mom. Mom answered, Kristin saud, "What?" "You called me." "Oh. I'm engaged." Mom told us as she heard. I was almost in tears at Target. When Kristin told me they were going away, I guessed she might be getting proposed to though!
That's all for now (esp. since I can't figure out if there is anything else)

Another month gone by...
*School's OK, lacking motivation, for the most part. However, if I don't do well in my classes this semester lets say these next two weeks here will be my last at GFU. I've heard it all, God's got a plan but I CANNOT LEAVE HERE. This is my home.
*I miss Women's chorale.
*Barracuda has been striking hard, couple weeks ago, caught 3 td passes, last night 2.
* I got a phone call during my show the other night from the Raptor. It made me smile a lot!
*I'm finally getting the dark room stuff down.
*Saw Transformers for the first time... LOVE IT! "Bumblebee stop lubricating on the guy!" Lol.
*Went to New Moon premiere, this time unlike last year not to Sherwood's, but Cameo, cool little theatre, and they played silent films while we waited... it was soooo worth it. And you'll never guess who gave me the money for my ticket....
*Willy visited. It was fun to have him over and catch up. It had been a month since he had come last to Fox.
*The light in my room has been acting funny, so I've been living in half darkness most of this week.
*I have found love... PUMPKIN PIE CHAIS FROM CHAPTERS!
*Had fun at home for Thanksgiving. Basically had dinner with my mom and dad (sisters and Grandma were out of town =( sad) and our physical therapy students, did homework, played gamecube, watched tv, went shopping black Friday and Daddy took me on a father daughter date to Christmas Carol 3d, good movie!
*Still deciding on whether or not to attend swing dance.
* Saw the latest Invisible children movie and did a radio about the cause in general.
*My show's podcasts from this year is up on itunes u!
There's probably more.. just can't remember...

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...
