You feel like you're falling backwards
Like you're slippin' through the cracks
Like no one would even notice
If you left this town and never came back
You walk outside and all you see is rain
You look inside and all you feel is pain
And you can't see it now
But down the road the sun is shining
In every cloud there's a silver lining
Just keep holding on (just keep holding on)
And every heartache makes you stronger
But it won't be much longer
You'll find love, you'll find peace
And the you you're meant to be
I know right now that's not the way you feel
But one day you will
You wake up every morning and ask yourself
What am I doing here anyway
With the weight of all those disappointments
Whispering in your ear
You're just barely hanging by a thread
You wanna scream but you're down to your last breath
And you don't know it yet
One day you will
Oh one day you will

A New Heart...
I'm in a Bible Study and we just started a new book called Live a Praying Life by Jennifer Kennedy Dean. I'm enjoying it so far and I promise to write more about it soon. But this is on my heart for this first week. My prayer all week has been for Jesus to change my heart to be like his.
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you. I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."
Ezekiel 36:26-27
"Before I had desired such a thing....He had already promised to reproduce His heart in me, shaping my desires to match His." JKD
More to come!

Whirlwind of "Adventure"
My life continues to be a whirlwind of “adventure”...if that’s what you want to call it.
This year, 2010, has been just so ridiculously wild. Never did I dream that I would go through some of the things that have happened this year. Since my last post about the break-in so many things have happened! I just have a hard time fathoming that the last two weeks have been as wide open as they have been.
I guess the best thing to do would be a timeline of the events of the past two weeks.
Tuesday, August 24, 2010 – Theives break in to my apartment and steal our stuff. I cried all day. And Anna and I were afraid to sleep in our own bedrooms for a few nights.
Wednesday, August 25, 2010 – The thieves are arrested!!
Thursday, August 26, 2010 – Anna and I went down to the police station. Actually to the Knox County Sheriff’s Office Detective Squad and met with the detectives and got a few of our things back – gun, cameras, Anna’s CN Class ring....
Friday, August 27, 2010 – I called the insurance company to file our claim and had a complete and total melt down Friday afternoon. I sat at work and cried for about 4 hours. And I spent all day at work on Craig’s List looking for places to live
Saturday & Sunday, August 28 & 29, 2010 – I drove around for literally 8 hours each of these days looking at houses, apartments, condos, ANYTHING for rent. I had almost 6 pages of places that I was going to look. I narrowed down my list for Anna – who had to work over the weekend and she visited them on Monday.
Monday, August 30, 2010 – Anna and I settled on a new place to live. One that would be ours, not mine. When she moved in with me, it was supposed to be a temporary thing and then she would move out on her own. Well, after all this mess, we decided that we were getting along and it would work out for us to live together. My landlord was very gracious and let us out of the current lease at the old place!
Tuesday – Tuesday, August 31-September , 2010 – We moved into the new house. Anna and I moved as much as we could with our cars and then my parents came up to help over the weekend. And HUGE thanks go out to Anna’s friend that helped us Friday night. It was really a fantastic move. I don't know that it could have gone much more smoothly. Mom stayed until Monday and helped me unpack, unload, set up, and re-set up our new home. I like it and feel safe here.
It’s just been completely insane. I’ve been so busy since about the middle of July – I can hardly believe that it is September already. In the midst of all this madness, I have been blessed and reminded of God’s graciousness through my sweet friends – Ashley, Melissa, Joetta, Jessica and too many other to name.

Fall is in the Air!
Ok, so Fall isn't REALLY in the air - it's like 97 degrees here in Knoxville today, but the nights are cooler, the days are getting shorter and it will cool down during the day....eventually...Right? Sometimes I feel like summer lasts forever, but it's already September...when did that happen?
Up next in my life:
1. Moving - in the process right now and can't wait to get situated in my new home
2. Visiting - friends and being visited by friends. Ashley and Timothy were in town this week. Really under unfortunate circumstances as Tim's step mother is very sick. But I got to spend some time with Ashley and Tim and Cooper (their newest addition). I've also got a few things coming up that involve friends - not just friends from Knoxville but from other places too and I'm looking forward to visiting with them SOON!!
3. Boston - going to Boston at the end of this month. Just for fun with Nellie and am looking forward to getting out of town for the long weekend.
4. Concert - Mumford & Sons is going to be in Knoxville the first weekend in November and I'm SO looking forward to seeing them live. I've only recently become a fan but I really like them and can't wait to see them in November.
Hopefully all these GOOD things will be enjoyable and nothing else will happen that can hinder my spirit. I'm looking forward to piecing things back together and settling into my new home :)
COME VISIT!
