Cha-cha-cha!

Since I'm not going to school right now, I need to find other ways to relieve my procrastination needs. How about not going to bed? I really should be sleeping right now, because I work early tomorrow. But I can't bring myself to do it. Which maybe is okay, because as of recent I've been sleeping way too much. I guess I'm also still up 'cause I'm kinda excited, though I'm not really sure about what. I just found out that one of my high school friends who had been going out with this girl for a long time finally got engaged, so that makes me happy. Not like I don't have enough married friends, but I'm happy to celebrate with them. And while still dreaming about my future, I'm finally starting to realize how lucky I am to be single. Especially how it's kept me safe from all those unhealthy relationships that so many people get into these days. Most of my friends have great relationships, and I respect that. But I believe it is very easy to get caught in relationships that end up causing more trouble than they're worth. Just a quick thought. In other life stories, I went to a salsa dance Friday night and decided that dancing should be my new thing. I don't know how long it will last, but I'm definitely looking for somewhere to get lessons. Because Lord knows, I'm gonna need a lot of them.

In dedication.

I look deep down inside you
and end up facing a mirror
I see a small, scared girl beside me
Holding all my thoughts, my pains, and my fears.

We are more than just a raindrop
If all these people were the sea.
I want to share how much God loves you
but first I have to believe that truth for me.

He says He hears your truest feelings
He's going to show you that you're not alone.
He needs and wants to share His healing
He loves you more than any person has ever known.

You say you don't see where I'm headed,
Well, I'm just trying to explain
how through all the thousand differences
I see one similar refrain.

And though we still might be like strangers,
In my heart we seem so close
'cause we're all looking for the same real thing
and it's acceptance that we need the most.

He says He hears your truest feelings
He's going to show you that you're not alone.
He needs and wants to share His healing
He loves you more than any person has ever known.


This is a song/poem/whatever I wrote the other day while thinking about someone I know. It was just one of those moments where you're so satisfied with God's love you wonder how anyone could ever reject Him. I pray that you'll find this pure and unrelenting satisfaction too.

Let it snow!!!

Okay, so I see I've been updating about once a month and it hasn't been about anything too grand. But for all practical purposes, nothing in my life has been very grand either. And even if it was, would I waste time writing about it in a public blog that nobody reads anyway?? Hahah.

WAIT! THIS JUST IN! An exciting update from the life of Kristin!! Today she went to her first garage sale of the 2009 season! And she bought a SLED for $1 !!! Now I'm just waiting for it to snow again. (Wouldn't be surprising here in Minnesota). I'm keeping my wishes quiet though, in fear I'll be flogged by other Minnesotans who are enjoying the hot, balmy 45 degree weather we're having right now.
