Wrap me in Your arms

Wrap me in Your arms

STRESS!!!!

So much STRESS!!  AAAHHH!!!  So yeah, not much to update on the Houston dealio...we didn't find out much more, except that my dad should be getting a call this next week, possibly a job offer....let's hope it's not enough for us to take...;-)  HEHE!  I REALLY REALLY don't wanta move!  Like every stinking time I go to church, t'makes me very sad and t'makes me really not wanta move even more!  I really love it here, finally, and I don't wanta leave already!  I really wish there was a way Ben and I could afford to stay here and like get an apartment....idk, whatever.

SO.....lot's of packing, will it ever end???  I don't know!  I hope it ends SOON!  We hafta be outta this house by Tuesday...and I think we did finally find somewhere to stay, that's not a hotel!  So yeah, that's all good and taken care of....Ben and I have next weekend off for our family trip up to Tulsa!  YAY!  I'm excited!  I always love going home for a visit...even if it's short.  I'm excited though, as long as nothing happens to mess it up, I'm going up for Danielle's bday in August and I'm planning to make it a slightly longer visit...like a week, rather than the usual 5 days.  YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!  As long as this whole Houston thing doesn't completely screw everything up....which is very possible, yet still not to possible...it's all so confusing and frustrating and stressful!!  Ok, I gotta go do some more packing...I don't want to...but I hafta!  So yeah...I'll update more later, or tomorrow after I get off work...luv y'all!  xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

OHHHH!  The captain of the ladies

So he drived himself a wife

Now he's wishin' he was fishin'

Cause he's on the hook for life

Well he probly should'na otter

But he drowned her in 'da water

End then a flounder downed her

That's why they never found her

*sigh*  Today has been rather insane...busy...kinda wierd, too.  First there was work @ 6am...got off about 10am, got home about 10:30-11-ish after a couple quick stops on the way.  Ate some french toast, made a list for Walmart, changed into something more comfy and cute, and went to Walmart...got home from Walmart about 2pm, ate a turkey and roast beef sandwich, yum, then about 3-ish Andrew and I went over to Best Buy to see about and I-Pod...YAY!  I realized today that I have a little over $500 in the bank, SWEET, meaning I have enough to get meself the I-Pod I've been waiting, saving, and really WANTING to get!  Unfortunatly I have to wait til tomorrow to get it, but 'tis ok, I can wait...I think...  Then I had to go to the bank up @ 620 & I-35 to pick up the check I "deposited" yesterday, cause Compass is STUPID, and then I came home to say bye to me parents who were leaving to go to Houston for my dad's interview tomorrow *bites lip nervously*, then went to the bank @ Gattis & Red Bud to re-attempt to deposit me check.  It SHOULD work this time!  Then I went out to Starbucks to get an afternoon "pick-me-up" for Ben and I, Audra was there, YAY, so they tasted very very very yummy!  Now I am sitting @ my puter, after chatting with two loverly dear friends who have now left me to sink into the black oblivion of my boredum, typing on my blog...FUN!  I don't think I have anything else to do today...except take care of small children(ok so they aren't THAT small, but they're smaller than me, so it counts!).

Tomorrow I work 10am-4:30pm, exciting!  @least I won't be sitting @ home biting me nails, thinking about me dad's interview, dying to know what's gonna happen!  Although, I'm actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow, and not just because it's a chance to get away from my thoughts and worries of "The Interview".  I'm very curious as to where I shall be working though...will it be front end...party...maybe...Imaginarium possibly?  The world may never know...well @least not til tomorrow when I get to work.

Now, Thursday, that is the day of crazyness!  I work 6am-4pm...10 hours!  SWEET!!!!  Fortunatly I won't be in the store even half the time, lol!  So it won't be NEARLY as tiring as it would if I was.  @least I sure hope not...I'm going to be doing an "event" with Holly and Robin, YAY, two of my favoritest peoples there!  Ok, so yeah, there aren't many people @ my job that I don't like...in fact there really aren't any...i don't think.:-)  *sigh*

HAHA!  That makes me laugh!  CTC Talent Show 2003, "The Points Don't Matter", YEAH BABY!  tehe

Ok, I think this is enough for today, there will be an update tomorrow on the latest of Houston-talk...hopefully good, not sad...but we'll just see what God has for us, won't we?  Luv y'all...if anyone actually reads this, that is...

IT'S OVER!

I'm singin' in the rain

Just singin' in the rain

What a glorious feeling

I'm happy again

I'm laughin' a cloud

So dark up above

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love...

Packing, packing, packing...will it ever stop?!  I'm sure it will, eventually.  Our house is now very messy, yet somewhat empty @ the same time.  There's missing furniture and boxes everywhere, along with all the little useless crap we've found stashed behind the furniture that is now in the P.O.D.  HAHA!  We have a POD in our driveway!  Sorry...boredum is coming over me.  I have this incredible urge to call someone, but there is NO ONE to call, 'tis sad!  Danielle gets back from Columbia on Wednesday, I hope I don't go completely insane b4 then!

I still have a slightly strong urge to watch Moulin Rouge, but I hafta work @ 6am, so I will probly not watch it tonight....maybe tomorrow?

I'm excited!!! I'm having coffee with Marie tomorrow, YAY!!  I've been wanting to get together with her for quite sometime, so I am very happy!

Why does life hafta be so dramatic sometimes?  That's all I have to say...lol!  I'm bored...very bored....and tired...and like...idk, somewhat depressed and I don't know why...sigh.

Ok, the mother is bidding me to get off....so I must leave you now....

IT'S OVER!

There is so much confusion in my life right now

I don't know where my life is going

I want to stay where I am

But I don't know if God wants me to

I wish I knew where He's taking me

What my next adventure is

What type of journey He has ahead of me

Whether it be filled with joy and accomplishment

Or trials and heartache

I want what He wants for me

Even if that means leaving the places and people

I have recently come to know and love

I don't want to let my emotions prevent God

From taking me where He's leading

I want to willingly follow closely after Him

No matter where He leads.

Amen!

• Comments (0) • Post A Comment! • Permanent Link

And follow where You lead,

Where You're leading me

All that I can do

Is hold onto You

And let you lead me through

It's all that I can do

I know I said I would continue my attempt at doing the entire Moulin Rouge movie Icon Style on my next entry...but I didn't feel like messing with it this time...next time!!!  Here is an icon for you...

If you find this offensive...I'm sorry...I find it rather amusing!  It's like that one song...I Found Jesus!  Nothing really against it, it's just rather silly to me...I mean you don't really FIND Jesus...was He lost???

SO yeah....continuing on the confusionness....I AM SO CONFUSED!  YAY!  No, not really...more BOO!  Or actually, it seems to be more of a booHOO type thing lately...not fun!  *sigh*  I mean really...why does life hafta be so friggin' confusing...I just wish we always knew what was gonna happen, when, how and why...but like I said earlier...then there would be no need for God...we wouldn't need Him here for us to trust Him and have faith in Him.  Life would just be...to easy, lol!  I know that almost sounds nice, but then again, not really, cause how would we ever grow up and mature if we didn't have trials and problems we had to work through and trust Him through.  That's what I need right now...trust and faith and LOT'S of it!

I find myself constantly thinking about things, like future-wise.  I wish I could just let it go and trust in Him completely and not worry about it so much.  That way I could focus more on Him and my relationship WITH Him more.  But it's SO hard!!!  I'm always finding myself thinking, wondering, and sometimes even worrying about who I will one day marry and when, but deep down I know that if I just let it go and focused more on my relationship with God, and tried to learn to love Him and trust Him more with each day, my life would be so much better.  But of course, because I'm so stupid and selfish, I just can't seem to give it up, for fear of, I don't know what...even though deep down I know if I just let it go and "gave Him the pen" eveything would work out beautifully and even if it meant going through some heartache in the process, I would be much happier/better off in the long run.  I just wish I could REALLY get that into my brain and do it!  So yeah...that is my life right now!  Lot's of confusion...worry...fear...and stuff.  But I guess that's usually what happens to all of us, especially after Highschool...you're trying to figure out what to do with the rest of your life, where to go to college, what to major in, how you're gonna go to college and all that great stuff.  I thought I had it all figured out about 2 months ago...but then God threw me a curve ball(make that 2 or 3) and now I just need to learn to trust Him and let Him take the "pen" of my life and go crazy, so I don't have to(literally)...lol!  I know what I want and what my hopes and dreams are for the future, but I guess what I really need to do is let Him show me what His plan for my life is.

I think I'm going to pull a Mandy...Reflections of My J-Hi and Highschool Years...tehe...

6th Grade-  Living in Tulsa, started my first year @ CTC taking 1 class...I was very shy, and dorky/nerdy, also very insecure.  Didn't really get to know anyone that year as a result of my incredible shyness and insecurity.

7th Grade-  Still in Tulsa, second year @ CTC, the year I met the famous Mandy, one of my best friends to this day, love her to death and always will!  I was still very shy and insecure, but so was Mandy so we got along great, lol!  I took my first Drama class, loved it.  Took Spanish, failed it...took American Government, also failed it.  That summer I went to Hawaii for 2 weeks with my bestest brother Ben, my almost-twin cousin Chris and my Grandmommy, it was AMAZING!

8th Grade-  Still in Tulsa and going to CTC...only took 3 classes that year...didn't really meet/get to know anyone...Mandy went through an odd stage of anger and meanness/evilness.  The beautimous year I started attending Fusion, met Jason Jackson the most amazing youth pastor I've ever known!  Love that guy!  Met alot of the people I still know, love and miss today.  DNA @ Coffee Banc...the best!

9th Grade-  Still in Tulsa and going to CTC, for the last year...the awesome year I re-met my best friend in the whole entire world, Danielle!  LOVE YA GIRL!  Also met lot's of other good friends that year, Tara(I miss that girl), Sharon, Loni, and Matt, the only guyfriend I think I ever had...love that guy!  Still can't believe he's MARRIED now!  LOL!  The first CTC Talent show was that year, and according to just about everyone, my friends and I put on the two best shows of the night, YEAH BABY!  You Lift Me Up!  And who could forget...So this looks like a job for me so everybody put food in me, cause we need a little crunchy, cause there's to many leftovers with out me...LOL!  And who could forget, Physical Science and Writing Dev...the many hilarious inside jokes that evolved from those awesome classes!  That was definitely a GOOD year!!!

10th Grade-  Was a weird year...I wasn't going anywhere @ the time, as far as school goes...March of that year I got my first job @ Shake's Frozen Custard, loved that job!  I was still attending Fusion, loving it!  Miss it SO much!  Becoming best friends with Danielle.

11th Grade-  A good, but @ the same time BAD year...the year I moved to Austin, TX.  Still working @ Shake's, til we moved in Dec.  Best friends with Danielle and Mandy, still getting to know Loni and Matt.  Met a few new people before moving, @ Fusion/DNA...got to get some good experience in leading worship, with the help of Andrew Bennett, love that guy too, I couldn't have done it without him!  Met so many awesome people that I love and miss like CRAZY!  I grew alot in my relationship with God that year, for many different reasons.  It was a good year, overall...

12th Grade- Living in Austin...learning slowly to love it, and slowly getting used to it and getting to know people that I now love!  Started attending FNL @ Shoreline, Mikey and Marie moved here, starting to get to know them better.  Beginning to really love it here and not want to leave now, not even to go back to Tulsa!  This has been a good year!

So that is my life over the past 6 years!  LOL!  Now that I've probably bored you to tears....I shall end this very long, boring and uninteresting entry!  Luv y'all!!!

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo,

Liz

That was my attempt to put all the icons in order with the movie....lol!!  I got bored, I'll hafta pick up where I left off next time....hehe!

Man...why does life hafta be so confusing....???  I just wish everything was easy, and we all had everything figured out, knew exactly what was gonna happen, when, with who and why!  But that's impossible and then we would have no reason for trusting in God or anything...this whole Christianity thing would be pointless!  LOL!  I'm so stupid...but don't you agree, life would be so much less confusing, @least it seems that way, if it was that way!  Except I don't know what I would do without my heavenly Daddy!  He's so amazing, I still don't understand why He loves me as much as He does, but He does and I love it!

I love worship music!!!  It always puts me in a happy mood, even when I feel like jumping off a bridge and ending it all, all I hafta do is put in some kind of worship/christian type musical CD and I start to feel muchly better!!!  I don't know what I would do without my music, I'm sure I would survive, but it would be a lot harder...lol!  Sigh...God is so amazing, I could go on and on about everything He's done for me...but I really don't have the energy to do that right now, lol!

I like REALLY BADLY wanta watch Moulin Rouge right now!!  But I hafta be @ work @ 6am tomorrow, so I don't think I should watch it tonight...maybe tomorrow....idk

I watched A Walk To Remember for the 100th time last night, lol, I love that movie SO MUCH!!  It's so good, it will forever be in my heart as one of my favorites!

I feel sick...it's probably because all I've had to eat all day is SUGAR!!!!  SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR!!!!  AHHHHH!!!  Ok, sorry.........i'm like shaking and I really need some real food, but nothing sounds good....hmmmm.  I have had a few Cheetos...lol, does that count???  I'm really bored!  I think I shall make this the end of my entry.....BYE!

IT'S OVER!

I decided to add even more icons and write something(not that anyone reads this).  I'm so exhausted!!!  I seriously can barely keep my eyes open...and I'm working @ 7am again tomorrow...UGH!  I'm so FREAKIN tired!

SO, Jeremiah and Sarah are here for the weekend...I'm supposed to be going to get my "senior pictures" taken, but my parents and Saramiah dissapeared...so yeah.  I straightened my hair and got ready, and when I was done straightening, they were gone, so Idk what the dizzle is now!  OH I think they just got home....yep they did!!  So, now I'ma go find out what the dizzle is and hopefully go take pictures....I'll put 'em on here once I get them!

My contacts are so gay, I seriously wish I had perfect vision so I didn't hafta wear these stupid things!!!  My feetsie's are sore, and my tummy is icky feeling and my head is slightly hurting, AND I'm really exhaustedly tired!  I need Mountain Dew, or Starbucks!!  AAHHH!!!

I'm so excited, 14 days til Prom!  YAY!!  I need to get my dress, I know I said that yesterday, but it's as true now as it was then!  I'm hoping, since I'm off Monday, that I'll be able to go possibly get my license, AND my prom dress, that would just be the best day ever!

Well, this is gonna be short, I'm gonna go to HEB with me daddy, but I'll add more later, if not tomorrow!  I think we're gonna go up to Waco to visit David Crowder's church, he's supposed to actually be there this week, so it will be sweetness!!!  Although, Caleb leaves tomorrow which makes me rather sadness...:-(  But I'ma be going to Tulsa in 13 days, so that makes me happiness!!!  Well, I add more later!

IT'S OVER! for now...;-)

-Lyz

:edit: Yay, I got Mountain Dew and some yummy ice cream!  And I got to drive, so I am quite happy right now.

So, turns out I can't go do any of that tomorrow, my mom has domino's tomorrow here @ the house, and it's usually not over til like 3-ish.  So, not license or prom dress Monday, but probably Tuesday, after I get off work @ 11.  Which will be totally possums!!!

Coolness, my mom just came up and gave me these really cute froggy erasers!  That was random...

My family, siblings mostly, is downstairs watching Ella Enchanted, and it's like almost 10:30...weirdness, oh well, I think we're all gonna sleep in tomorrow and then go do something fun as a family before Caleb leaves @ 5!

And now Hannah just came upstairs and showed me a shirt with a bunch of random writing on it, but I didn't read any of it, it's too dark and my contacts are being dry and gay, so yeah.  Now she's showing it to my mom...hmm.  Well, I guess I'd better post this before it's to late and I can't!  BYEZ!

IT'S OVER!  this time it really is...I think :-D

Chocolate is a very wonderful thing...

I want to watch Moulin Rouge tonight. 

I want to be in love like this someday...  

I need to find a season or two of Boy Meets World on DVD...

I want to see Stepford Wives(don't remember what brought that up)...

I wish tylenol worked when I needed it too!!!

YAY!  My check today is for $231, that is totally possums!!!  Time to buy myself a prom dress and pay Andrew back for my plane ticket, lol!

I love working @ Toy's R Us, as long as my hours aren't as sucky as this weeks were!  And as long as there aren't any "emergency meetings" called while I'm there!  HEY, it was the ONLY Toy's R Us icon I could find!!!

YAY!  My hours don't suck this week!!  Except the 7am every morning part...

I want a Mountain Dew...

Well, if there were any other thoughts, I forgot them!  YAY!!  My brain is dead right now, I am so tired and exhausted, I need to just go to bed, I'll probly fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow!  sigh....zZzZzZzZz

IT'S OVER!

So...today was yet another 8 hour work day...UGH!  It was long and painful, I got SO many evil people that were mean and hard to deal with!  Ok, so it was only like 5, but they were all in a row so it seemed like a lot more!  There was this one guy, I think we was from like russia or germany or something, and he was so stupid and rude, like I'd try to explain why a certain coupon wouldn't work for something he was wanting to buy and he was being an idiot and didn't understand, even though it made PERFECT sense!  And there was this lady that was getting oober impatient with me b/c none of my managers were available to come give me the help that ONLY they can give me b/c it required a key that only managers have!  And then there was this other lady that was just being stupid, impatient and obnoxious!  But fortunately there were more nice people, especially ladies, that understood, it's not my fault that NO one is responding to my "I NEED BACKUP" calls and "I NEED AN S-KEY" calls...s-key's are the thingys that I need from a manager, and only a manager can do it, and they kept having "emergency meetings" today, meaning if I needed a manager or s-key, I'm screwed!!!  But fortunately Kim came in @ 2 and then Kelly came in @ 3, so after that I was fine.

So, that was my crazy, slightly crappy, long day of work!  My feet hurt SO bad right now!  I am SO tired, and SO glad I only work 5 hours tomorrow, 12-5...although I would love it alot better if I didn't hafta work @ all though.

I really don't like work when neither Linda, Kim, Cassie or Miles are there, cause, like today, when it's just Carrie, Robin and Bill, they're usually all in the back or just really busy with stuff and it takes forever to get help when I really need it!  I had my line get really backed up @least 5 or 6 times today, and it sucked!  Well, fortunately Linda is there tomorrow, and so is Cassie, so no worries!

Work is very entertaining if both Miles & Cassie are working, they can have some of the strangest, yet funniest comversations over the walkie sometimes.  Like Ben told me about this time when they were playing a song from Beauty & The Beast in the store and you hear Miles talking to Cassie over the walkie about how one day they should dress up and Beauty and the Beast and dance to that song next time it played.  And you constantly hear them making fun of each other(jokingly) and "fighting" all the time!  I mean, I love it when it's slow and they're both working, b/c if I get bored and run out of things to do(which doesn't happen to often), all I hafta to do is put my walkie next to my ear and listen for a while, and that's my entertainment!  It's hilarious!  Although, if Bill's there it's pretty great to, Bill's so awesome!!  Like today, I hear Josh(one of the electronics guys) saying to Bill over the walkie "after school is out I'm gonna need Sunday's off cause I'm gonna start going to church" and Bill replies "oh, u'll hafta take me with you" and it was SO funny the way he said it, I was trying really hard not to laugh cause I was checking someone out @ the time!  Oh and it was AWESOME!  They played 3 songs from the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory soundtrack, it was hard to not sing along when I was helping a customer, but I didn't want to weird them out or scare them off, Linda might get upset.  LOL!  Yeah, I really love my job, I just hate the hours I got this week...they were so weird, and too long!  I mean 4 8 hour shifts in one week is just a little too much for only my 3rd week working there!  But I do really need the money, so that's definitely a plus!  I'll be getting a $250 check tomorrow, YEAH BABY!!!  Probably the biggest check I've ever gotten, lol!  The totally awesome thing, is that's only worth one week of hours, and I'll be getting another one the same size next Friday!  I'm lovin' it...

I really hope tomorrow is better than today was, I hope I'm feeling better, and I hope that I'm not as exhausted either, I was so exhausted today, just from working so much I guess.  Well, I gotta go, my internet cuts off in like 4 minutes, so I betta post this b4 it's too late!

IT'S OVER!
