Laughter

"The most wasted of days is one without laughter."

I think I must be subconsiously be really stressed, because lately I have been going in crazy laughing attacks. Katie, my other roommate, and I recently have had hardcore laughing attacks. I think we have officially made our roommates brother think we are nuts. It seems to happen a couple times per week, where were both laughing til we cried. I think anyone who is a Young or a Niedzinski or has ever been to a family dinner at my house, can understand these so called "attacks." And let me tell ya, it was pretty humerous. Priceless moments like those are days I like to remember. Katie mentioned the whole thing about us possibly being to serious at work may have some sort of effect on our life? I dont know but smiling and laughing are my favorite. It just makes you feel good.

What a great invention, laughing. :)

Dental Care Song :)

Please youtube this song. It made me laugh.

"I brush my teeth
And look in the mirror
And laugh out loud
As Im beaming from ear to ear"

"Id rather pick flowers
Instead of fight
And rather flaunt my style
I'd flash you a smile
Of clean pearly whites"
-Dental Care by Owl City

Falling :)

Country living has quite a benefit. When I was driving home from bible study, I couldnt not notice the difference from the city to the country when i looked out my window. THE STARS. Wow its incredible. On my drive home I decided I was going to wrap up in a blanket and lay on the driveway and stare at the stars.

And I did.

As I laid there, I had quite the conversation with God...and tears started to fall down the cheeks. And as soon as I thought a specific thought, a HUGE falling star streaked across the sky, a long, bright one...and thats when I lost it.

I ran inside with streaks of tears and made Katie come out and sit outside with me. The two of us chatted underneath the stars, bundled in blankets. Tonight, I am speachless.

He made the stars, and He made me. How great is our God, He is mighty to save.

God needs to drive.

Driving. Something I feel like I will always dislike immensely. This is crazy. When i was driving a couple days ago late at night avoiding all the zillions of construction cones, I realized something. I am closest to God when Im driving. Strange huh?

It was a really weird realization. And I do this EVERYTIME i drive. I found myself the entire way home battling myself in the head.."I cant do this. Just stop. No keep going. I need to stop. I cant drive. I hate this. Keep going. what 20 minutes left? Keep going. No stop. Pull over." and on and on. I swear the entire time I am battling this conversation the whole way. Its terrible. I feel like Im having a battle with God and me or the devil or something.

Is this a battle I am going to have everytime I drive at night? or winter?

I know everytime I get in a car, I praise God and pray for safety. Every semi I pass I pray to God and thank Him. Is this the devils way of trying to get me to by triggering the thoughts of stopping, turning around...ect?? Because I hope not. I would LOVE to get in a car and just drive. But this battle goes on n on.

House warming party!

I am so excited to be living with my roommates. They are the greatest. I still dont know them that well, but I look forward to each day spent with them. What a blessing it is to be living with such wonderful people.

Saturday, we decided to open up our house to everyone. We cooked a HUGE feast for our parents so everyone could put a name to a face and meet the familys and had friends come over and play games, watch sport games, eat food, community, bonfire and fun :)

It was awesome. I look forward to planning more parties and getting to know my roommates more. :)

God bless community, and meeting new people.

9/11.

Enough said. I pray for the families, the troops, and the list goes on. God Bless the USA.

Helpless

Sometimes, I just feel so inadequate, dumb, unintelligent, stupid, ect ect. I sometimes feel like I just cant do something, and I am just so helpless.

But the thing is...is I am. We all are. Thats why we are who we are. We are inadequate, but God isn't. I cant do things, but God can.

I dont know. Thats all.
