You don't know me...
I dont know if this will work embedded or not.. I hope it does though. Boston, by Augustana.
Wish I could move to Boston where no one knows my name... just a thought.

Life
Life... is interesting. And a blessing. The last time I posted was in October, and the title of the post is cracking me up.. I think I remember that feeling of extreme mouth pain when my wisdom teeth were coming in. Sooo glad I had them taken out, it was a terrible day when they stuck me with the IV 3 times (for those of you who don't know me, I hate IV's and needles and blood, it makes me have a mental breakdown pretty much..). I survived though, and now I have lovely holes in my mouth : )
Anywayss, it's been awhile. Lots of interesting/not so awesome/ and some awesome things have happened since I last posted.
Smile,

Anywayss, it's been awhile. Lots of interesting/not so awesome/ and some awesome things have happened since I last posted.
- Christmas came and went. Was one of the worst Christmas' for me, but I serve an awesome God who helps us through hard times... which is what he did for me.
- Acquired a BMW (one of the things on my bucket list that has been completed now :)
- Raced said BMW and thoroughly enjoyed it.
- Finished last semester with a nice GPA, which I am super happy about.
- Started a new semester, which is going well except for Biology.. I think I could possibly fail this class. I've never failed any class before. Kinda scares me.
- Joined a workout class- lost 10 pounds and 2 inches so far.
- Got 2 new houses to house sit.
- I now have 6 riding students, which is the exact number I was wanting.
- Have another job lined up for the summer training horses for someone and getting them ready to show.. pretty excited about this one.
- Spring break came and went by really fast... it was a much needed stress break though.
- It snowed so much where I live this winter, which is odd
- I bought a new camera (one of the things on my "bucket list".. get a kick butt camera and learn how to use it and get paid for something you love eventually- still working on that part ;)
- Made new friends
- Lost a few friends
- Declared a major (IT Web Development... )
- And the list goes on...
Smile,

Wisdom Hurts. Especially when it's the teeth kind.
My wisdom teeth are hurting so bad this week. I would like to cut them out. But that would hurt worse.
Anyways, this week has really been a bad week. School is terrible, I have no idea why I am even going to college because nothing here interests me, and I don't know if I am moving to fayettville or not. If I move to that school I will loose my scholarship, which will make me moneyless... and I will have to sell my horses, and I will lose my job. I've been praying about it alot, and I just don't know what to do right now. One day at a time I guess. It'll all work out.
I joined the missions team at the BCM. Pretty excited about that. This month we are having a halloween carnival to outreach to the kids around this certain area. A church is sponsering it and helping us raise money for our team too.
Joe Darcy is doing better. Ronni helped me get him on a different feed schedule because his glucose levels are sky high, he is becoming diabetic kindove.
Got a new horse, Nazwan, he's a polish arab. He's really cool, he talks to us all the time and wakes me up if I've overslept and thinks he needs to be fed :P
I'm working for a lady 20 minutes away, helping excersise and train her horses. It's a pretty cool thing, I hope it keeps going good because I can help her start showing her horses we are working.
I've also started giving lessons to kiddo's. They are so fun, so far I have 3 regular students. I have 4 more slots open so hopefully they will fill up and I can start saving some money up.
Fall is here... that's always good. Started the fireplace for the first time ever the other day. That was neat, except dad smoked us out of the house because he turned the knob thing the wrong way.. hah.
Ok, I'm done ranting, have a nice day. Even though no one reads this is helps to get it on paper and look back at it sometimes to see what's been going on in my life when I forget. :P

Exciting days :D
So, I'm pretty excited today. Yesterday my book came in the mail that I've been waiting on for a week. It's called "Coming Attractions" by Robin Jones Gunn, she's my favorite author, and it's a series that I love. I get so excited when she writes a new book. Anyways, I read the whole book in less than a day. It was amazing. I am so excited about my future after reading that book.
Also, after reading that book, I've decided some stuff about a friend of mine and his friend. They are pretty much perfect for each other and I've been a jerk about it. Going to let him know that I think this when I talk to him later. Can't believe that I haven't realized this sooner. As much as I hate to say it, they kinda make sense together. The book just made me realize that for some reason. I do love it when God teaches me stuff through books like this. I get excited.
History test tomorrow. I can't stuff all this information inside my head, it's too much. Oh well, if I fail atleast I gave it my best.
Goin to church now to clean flowerbeds! I love working outdoors when the weather is like this. Sunny with a chilly breeze. This has been a great first day of fall. Or was that yesterday? oh well, anyways, I'm off.

Prayer Request... Read!
My Notes on Facebook wouldn't let me post this for some reason- so I posted it on my blog instead. Read this, and pray for Rifqa Bary, please.
------------------------------------------
Urgent Prayer for Rifqa Bary
September 21, 2009
Dear Praying Friends,
This prayer request is extremely urgent! Please pray and forward it to praying people within your sphere of influence!
The fate of Rifqa Bary may be decided today. In July, in fear for her life, the radiant 17 year-old fled her parent's Ohio home to seek refuge with the family of an Orlando, Florida pastor. Florida attorney and pro-family leader John Stemberger took up Rifqa's case and is fighting to save her life (see Story).
Rifqa's devout Muslim family came to the U.S. from Sri Lanka in 2000. A fellow student led Rifqa to Christ at 14. In fear of her father, she kept her newfound faith secret until a year ago. Rifqa says her father has abused and threatened to kill her, and that he is devoted to the Koran, which calls for the execution of Muslims who convert from Islam. "Honor killings," routine in Muslim lands, are on the increase in the U.S.
Authorities at Facebook have closed a site on which scores of threats to Rifqa's life were posted. She is in grave danger (see her video testimony at RifqaBary.com).
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, ordered to investigate the case, found "no evidence of criminal activity...to support" Rifqa's allegations. But a veteran FBI investigator sent by the Center for Security Policy, says the investigation was flawed.
Today, Monday the 21st of September, a Florida judge will decide if Rifqa must return to her parents. Jurisdiction will be the central issue at the hearing.
Pastor Lou Engle, a longtime leader in the national prayer movement, is asking Christians everywhere to pray September 21-25, and to fast on Friday, September 25th when fifty thousand Muslims will meet on the Washington Mall to "pray for America." (see Engle, Mall)
Please Pray for Rifqa and her attorney, that God will give them wisdom and victory in their legal effort. May God protect Rifqa, keeping her safe, even as He uses her to minister Christ to the Christian and Muslim worlds (Ps 91: all; 121: all; Eph 6:10-20).
May America's pastors and churches awaken to the challenge that the Muslim faith and activist political agenda poses to our nation and Christian heritage. May believers arise to pray and may Biblical truth and the power of the Holy Spirit mightily prevail as those with competing religious views vie for our nation's soul. May the advance of Islam be used of God to stir believers to ever greater faithfulness to Christ and may the Church learn how to love and effectively minister to those in the Muslim and other religious communities! (Ex 20:2-5; Ps 96:5; Acts 4:12; Gal 2:4-5; Mt 28:19-20; Mk 16:15).
Thank you for your prayers over these critically important matters!
Sincerely,
Rev. Pierre Bynum

"Smiling's my favorite :))))))"
Elf is so cool. That movie is pretty much amazing, and it has been stuck in my head since my birthday in July when we watched it on the bigscreen outside.
So what's new with everyone? Haven't been on here in awhile (I know I say that everytime I post but... I'm just sayin')
Lets see here. Tons of stuff has been going on for me lately, I'm loving it. God has been blessing me so much, it's crazy. I am amazed every day at how blessed I am. Thank you Lord :)
I started another semester of college in August. Oh what fun it has been. I am taking U.S. History II, American National Government, Logic and Design for IT (geek class that I love hehe), Speech (which has turned out to be awesome and a great way to get to know people), and Music Appreciation (easy easy class that is fun because I love classical music anyways..).
College, I've decided, is kinda lame. I like meeting people and all, sure, but they are not the kind of people I want to go and just hang out with. I think it is cool meeting them and hearing their stories though. But for instance, American Gov. class is sooooo ick because all they do in that class is gripe and debate about the stupid healthcare reform issue, and how it is affecting them and "woe is me" attitude and how Obama is brilliant. Hmm. Ya, not my favorite class to say the least. The debating gets entertaining sometimes though, because this one guy in my class is the one conservative of the bunch from what I gather other than me, and he gives them a good debate.
Joe Darcy is sick. I don't know what is the matter with him. I'm taking him to the vet next week and am going to spend a fortune but oh well, he is slithering away from me, and I need to fix it before it gets to a point where I can't get him back. I thought I had fixed it with his teeth, but nope. Still sickenlingly skinny. Poor baby, he looks so sad sometimes... makes me wanna cry because I just don't know what to do anymore and neither does any of my mentors.
I sold Guido this last week to my former Biology teacher. I was pretty bummed about that. First cars are always special, so I have heard, and I got pretty atached to him. I did, however, get a cool suprise from my parents. 323i BMW. :) So that made up a lil bit for having to get rid of Guido. He will be missed.
I'm watching Monk right now... I don't really know whats going on though because I haven't been paying attention, I've been typing. I'm not too good at multi tasking :P
SOUP!! !!!!! So, mi madre decided to make soup last week, and I'm addicted (jk, jk.... maybe). It is veggie soup with ground turkey meat and holy matramony, it's amazing. I kinda sorta really enjoy it alot :)
Oh, big thing- got another part time job in addition to my h-sitting job. I am now giving riding lessons to some pre-teens thru out the week. I love teaching kids how to ride, it's really fun. Makes me remember how horse crazy I was at that age...
Uh, ok I'm done, Rebekah just pulled into the drive way and I'm gonna go hang out with her.
