split
visible touch
tangible love
not reaching far enough
impossible
blockade, barbed wire
my fault.
[evidently i pull this off well]
[evidently now even my eyes don't tell the truth]
[evidently this "breathing in" still isn't deep enough]
[and exhaling is only a reminder]
[that this breath is not the only thing exiting]
Last week I didn’t weigh in because it was my birthday week. Yes, I was indulging in cupcakes and cookies and only exercised once. So, that’s my bye-week. The NFL gets them, and I declare I do as well! I did wake up early and hit the fitness center this morning, as well as planned out my meals for the day, so hopefully I’m back on track.

Obviously my lack of exercise and undisciplined eating habits have proven themselves in the fact I’ve only lost one pound in the last two weeks, but at least we’re now in the final 10-pound stretch. Just 9 pounds to go! I have had to purchase some new pants, and am proud to say I am now consistently a size 10 in Gap, Old Navy and New York & Co.
How’s it going with you?

mac? pc? i use both. the below photo was taken from my iMac of me using my HP laptop. working in communication is fun because you do get some cool toys. which do i prefer? i really don’t care. does that make me bad? probably. they both do their work just fine…no machine out-performs another. sure, my pc doesn’t have a built in camera, but my illustrator always “unexpectedly quits” on my mac.

what about you? which way do you swing?
clearly in this structure
love; freedom
sovereignty, never questioned
but human justification
can be tempting
is it my lack of faith?
or simply a whisper saying
draw near
seek…and you will find.

it was amazing. thanks for praying. the nerves were calmed well before i went up on stage. i don’t remember most of what i said, which is a good thing…because it probably means it wasn’t me doing the talking. we had a great Q&A with them afterwards (lots of really thought-provoking questions you would never imagine a teenager would write about sex) and i can’t believe i haven’t done this sooner. it was definitely a great experience (thanks to jamie and dalton for making me feel comfortable!) and i’d do it again in a heartbeat! thanks again for all your prayers, and emails, and text messages. you guys are awesome and it’s great to know the Church is out there covering me in prayer – even if i’ve never met you! some of you emailed and asked if you could get a copy of the night’s message. well, we did record the evening, and as soon as i get the mp3, i’ll upload and link to it.
sunday night at 9pm (CDT) i’ll be on 89.7 PowerFM here in Dallas on PowerTalk Live. you can listen online here if you want to. same subject matter – porn! we will open the phone lines up around 9:15-9:20pm to take live questions on air. you can call 214-787-1897 locally or 1-866-787-1897 if you’re not from DFW. i know a few girls have emailed me about their stories, so if you have the time and the desire, it would be great to have you girls (and guys) call in (even from out of state) to share your stories.
if you wouldn’t mind, say a wee prayer for yours truly. tonight is the night…the night i speak at the net, our high school program, on one of our campuses (the mesquite campus, across from the town east mall if any of you dfw people want to drop by – next to target!) anyway, the party begins at 7 pm, and i’ll probably be doing my part of the talk around 7:30-7:45. after me, the student pastor is going to talk for 15 minutes, and then we’re going to do a Q&A.
the whole night is about sex and porn so please pray that god will have our hearts and minds completely and use us to speak whatever truth he wants them to hear tonight. also, for the kids…after it’s all over we are going to be hanging out to talk to anyone who wants to meet individually, so that they will have courage to approach us, and that we’ll be able to help them…
for a rope to have tension,
two forces must be pulling
as fiercely as possible
in opposite directions
yet called out
trying to balance
and understand
unity
freedom
humility
kingdom

The only thing better than writing about movies is giving them away! This contest is for a chance to win THE PRESTIGE on DVD! Nominated for Best Cinematography.
At the dawn of the 20th century, rival magicians Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) are desperate to reveal each other’s secrets. Obsessed by the escalating competition, the two illusionists begin to perform increasingly risky tricks — which soon turn deadly. Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson and David Bowie also star in this taut psychological thriller from director Christopher Nolan.

i turn 27 on monday. if you’re new here, read my last birthday post to catch up.
a friend turned me on to a new band. and consequently, i found this song. which i officially and hereby dub the song of my twenty-seventh year.
There are songs to be sung,
And pages to be filled with memories.
There are roads to be traveled in places I have never seen.
There are postcards to send,
And so much beauty just to take in.
There are dreams to be chased,
And friends to be held more dearly.
There is love to be seen more clearly.
There are fears to be faced,
And tremblings to understand.
There are new days to brave,
And all this foolish pride
To lay down in your hands.
[ode to new grass - the gloria record]
i am taking monday off work, spending the first part of the day at a spa getting massaged, facialed [extracted, if necessary], manicured, pedicured and the last part of the day with twenty-five-ish of some of my dearest friends (and newest friends) at a dinner & movie screening of the new Jim Carrey film, 23.
Fun will be had. Photos will be taken.
When’s your birthday?
