Just Have to Wait

Well I can't wait to SEE your smile again
The one when your eyes disappear along with all my troubles
And I can't wait to hear you sing a song
Maybe "Jesus Loves Me" or a song you learned up there

Well I can't wait to hear your mama laugh
The way that only you can make her laugh when you get silly
And I can't wait to SEE you in her arms
And know the wound so deep inside her heart is healed for good

And I can't wait to dance with you again
Knwoing that this time the dance will never have to end

And I can't wait to SEE your sisters play
The way they do when all of you are playing all together
And I can't wait to watch your brother's face
When he can finally SEE with his own eyes
That everything's okay

But I, oh, I just have to wait
'Cause I know that day is coming
So I, oh, I just have to wait

God Is It True (Trust Me)

God is it true that You're thinking of me at this moment?
God is it true that You hear every prayer that I pray?
God is it true every time my heart beats You know it?
We if it's all true
Then that must be You I hear saying
"Trust Me"

Shattered Dreams

Shattered dreams are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story. The Holy Spirit uses the pain of shattered dreams to help us discover our desire for God, to help us begin dreaming the highest dream. They are ordained opportunities for the Spirit to awaken, then to satisfy our highest dream.

Girls' Day Out

Today, one of my friends and I got together to hang out. We went to Caribou Coffee, for a snack. I got a spicy chicken wrap and a hot chocolate. We then went to Border's to look around. I wanted to see if there is something I wanted, so I could use my gift card, but the stuff I wanted was too much, and I didn't have enough money for it. While there, I saw a girl I went to school with.
I hadn't seen her since high school, so it was a surprise to see her at Border's. But it was nice. We talked for a few minutes, and then went on our ways.
I can't believe 2009 is almost over. With all the birthdays, holidays, and what not, it went by too fast. For New Year's, I have a few resolutions I hope to keep. They are:

Clean my room and keep it clean

Become a vegetarian/eat healthier

Do better in school

I am going back to school this spring. I had to change my major, because my previous major, special education, was too much for me. I changed it to Hospitality. I am taking Success in College and Introdution to Hospitality. The Success in College class is on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and the Hospitality class is on Wednesdays. I can't wait to start back at school. I am really looking forward to being a pastry chef in the future.
Someday in the future, I actually would like to open up my own pastry/chocolate shop/restaurant. I think it would be really cool to sell stuff that I have made, to people who are willing to try my work.
I am hoping to also get a job, on the days I'm not in school. I am looking at Petco, Coldstone Creamery, Walgreens, the library, Border's, Barbara's Bookstore, the theater, and a few other places. I really hope I get a job soon, because I really need the money.
I'm also wishing I had a boyfriend. I haven't had one before, since I wanted to concentrate on school. I still want to concentrate on school, but now I want to do that with a man by my side. I'm in my mid 20's, and thought it would be time for a serious relationship.
I'm also hoping that in the new year, I start going back to church every week. I haven't gone in a while, due to family and personal reasons. I miss going to church. My family and I used to go the the Christmas mass, which I loved to do. I really want to get back in touch with my faith, and with God. So, until then, I will pray, read my Bible, and talk to God.
That's all for now. More soon.
