| I just Canceled my Premium...
Which means, within the next month, i will undoubtedly lose my pretty tulip-y background, my pictures etc...
but its okay i havent used this xanga in...forever. I actually have a new blog
and if you care about me enough to follow me, my ramblings, and my life in Philly over the next year...
just leave me a comment and ill send you the address...
In the meantime, and in case i don't talk to most of you again....its
been fun being here over the last 3 years ( has it REALLY been that
long?? sheeesh).
Thanks for letting me get a little glimpse into your life.
Keep on Loving, Living and Enjoyin' this crazy thing called life!

| Congratulation Tara, We are pleased to tell you that you
have been accepted into Mission Year...and we would love to have you
join our MY family...
Yes...it's True. After all the anticipation, the
worrying, the anxiety, the 8 page application, the 1.5 hour interview,
the praying, the excitement, the debate about next years plans, the
worry over not applying for a teaching job, the visit to Chicago,
after almost 3 years of thinking about it, and pushing it aside out of
fear, and a million other things....Starting in September I will be the
newest member of the mission year team!!!!!!!
I wish i could express to you how excited I am about this. It's an
amazing program and if you would like more info on it you can go here Mission Year
Check it out!
I know what some of you are thinking...Here I am all graduated from
college, I pretty much have a teaching job handed out to me, and I'm
going to CHOOSE to live in the inner city, in a tiny apartment with 5
or 6 guys and girls, where I live simply (not even a TV), volunteer in
the community (ie, work 40 hrs a week for free), join a neighborhood
church, and get to know my neighbors ( which could be the scariest part
of all) for an ENTIRE year?? Yep, not only am choosing it, I'm excited
about it...
I am so ready for God to take this naive upper middleclass white girl
and challenge me, stretch me, reshape me, and mold me into His
beautiful daughter.
I am so ready to put all of my passions to work, embracing
diversity, fighting social injustice and poverty, working with inner
city youth, and loving people...
So I will leave you with mission year's philosophy which im seriously considering adopting as my own...
Love God. Love People.
Nothing Else Matters.
Have a beautiful day guys!

| Pleasantly Exhausted...
Thats how I would describre my mood from this past weekend. It was so
emotional, so intense...but at the same time, even though im sick after
it...I am pleasantly exhausted. I see things much more clearly
now...and I am excited for the future.
Sorry for being so vague, if you want to know more just ask!
I haven't posted in forever, I'm afraid my Xanga days may just about be
over for now, but please know I still read whats going on in all of
your lives..
Hope all is well.
Follow your dreams. Keep on Lovin', Livin' and Smilin'
God Bless!

| I'm exhausted. I'm subbing in
high school Spec. Ed. all week, and its defn tough...but i love it. The
kids are amazing. They put on these tough, self defense shells...and
when they start to crack a little and you see the real person - its
both heartbreaking and amazing all at once.
Did I mention I was tired? I'm
sure none of it has to do with staying up last night to watch Grey's
Anatomy even though I had to be up by 5:50 this morning. I must say I'm
a little dissapointed with how it turned out. Mer and George? sooo not
right. Nope, Mer belongs with McDreamy. And they are going to try being
friends. Friends. You can't be friends with soemone your in love with.
Trust me, I have been there - but they will figure that out soon
enough. I'm pretty sure I'm hopelessly addicted to this show. Did I
mention I bought the Season One DVD for Valentines day? Because I
did...and I watched the whole thing twice already. *sigh. i love
it. and I love McDreamy.
Coffee. Must have Coffee
tomorrow morning. I'm dying here, its not even 10 yet, and my eyes are
threatening to shut. okay, okay...I'm going to try to get some sleep.
I will leave you with this.
Easter is coming...and you know what that means...Yes. I am currently
staring at my opened package of hardening (just the way I like it)
pink, bunny rabbit PEEPS! yum.
double yum.
goodnight.

| When you have been praying, and praying for clarity and answers and God
finally speaks to you...you can't ignore it, you can't excuse it away,
you can't act like its not right for you...even if you don't want to
hear it, because in all honesty - why would you want to? Even if it
doesn't fit in your plan, even if its not the answer you wanted, even
if its the last thing you saw yourself doing...you have to remember
that your not the one in charge. He is...and His plan is so much better
than anything we could come up with by ourselves.
