First day of snow!!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!


You know this year has gone by so fast..It started out with the hopes of going to Toronto, speaking/singing at churches, wondering what the heck i was going to doing, working in hell!! hee hee..Then the school happened..I met all these amazing people. God did so much, worked out so many things, there are still many things that need to be worked out, i had to learn that the school was merely a stepping stone to get me through some of the real world stuff..that not all my problems were fixed, dang it...

Anyway, but sitting here, reading your comments and just thinking. I am really thankful this year..God has done so much, He has brought so many wonderful people into my life, people that I love so very much! Even the ones that have been in my life for several years, they are becoming even greater friends, and i love them so much!
God is just so cool!! I love Him so much!! Even on the days where i feel so far from Him, or anyone else..

So anyway, I am trying to make a point, however it is not working!

I just wanted to tell you all, that i love you so very much. I am truely blessed to have each of you in my life.
I pray that you all have a merry christmas, that is it is amazing and wonderful!!
Thank you, thank you for just being you, and allowing me to be me!
Dawna

I love....

So today we, Cade, Stevee and I, were heading to my house.
When Cade enthusiastically says, "I love Boogies!!" It was rather interesting..
they have discovered picking their noses, and no matter what i tell they always seem to
do it..so yea..if ya all have any suggestions let me know!!

Deer suck..i hate them..

Ohmygoodness!! I am in this house with my little sister and her friend..who i love but the both have their boyfriends here..geez, i feel like more of the responsible one of the group..that never happens..geez..but oh well..
This week has been interesting..Sunday and thursday at church..God did something really cool...The speaker, aka..my spiritual dad...pulled me up in front of the whole church and just did some cool things..and thursday, my pastor like brought my name up like 10 times..don't think i am saying this cuz i am getting a big head, but i have been feeling really not spiritual, not near God..i know some of you are like geez is this all that has been going on with her..but really it has, it's been a real battle keeping my relationship with God.. but when they did this, they weren't saying all the stuff that they good, they just like totally encouraged me..and it was really cool..then i got prayed for and dude, i manifested and i haven't done that since toronto..God is doing something..it seems..today, we had practice for our christmas thing tomorrow, and afterward i played the guitar..man, it was really good..like i just sat there and worshipped..i am getting pretty good at it..and God just comes and i love him so much!! I have been really happy for the last two days.

Last night, we had this little chin-ding at one of my friends house..it was so much fun!! I bought this ring at walmart for a dollar, it's like a strobe like ring..it was mezmerizing, i guess you just have to be there, but it was so much fun..i think i am going to get them and wear them in my hair for our our christmas thing..it should be fun..unless janie won't let me do it..than we will have to see...

I had a dream last night that i was in Toronto..it was weird..i don't know..we will see..
well, the movies are about to start and the pizza is about done..so i am going to go..I love you all!

Millions of thoughts and no time...

Okay, I am listening to Pink, Man that girl..she rocks..I love music, with just the right beat, you can change any kind of mood..happy to sad, happy to happy, sad to happy, hard day at work? throw on some superchick and your set..it's all good!! ha!!

N*E* way, I am reading a book(yes that is right a book, something i haven't done for, well i don't know how long) but I borrowed it from a friend, forever and a day ago..and am just finally reading it..I want to share a few paragraphs with you all..The book is called Esther, A woman of Strength and Dignity. by Charles R. Swindoll

"When I come to this book that never mentions God, I see Him all the more profoundly and eloquently portrayed throughtout it. It's there in invisible ink. Just like life. I've never seen skywriting that says, "I'm here, chuck. You can count on me." I've never heard an audible voice in teh middle of the night reassuring me, "I'm here, My son." But by faith I see HIm and, inaudibly, I hear HIm on a regular basis, reading Him written in the events of my life-whether it be the crushing blows that drive me to my knees or the joyous triumphs taht send my heart winging. When I pause long enough to look back, I realize it is the unsearchable mind, the unfathomable will, the sovereign control, the irresistible providence of God at work, because He, though invisible, remains invincible."

A few sentences later....

"What might those looming gallow be? Some horrible pain? Some threat of illness or need for surgery? some emotional stress that is leading to waht appears to be you emotional demise? Some fractured relationship that you cannot repair or get beyond? Some sudden loss that leaves you gripped in grief? or worst of all, a spiritual vacuujm that threatens your very soul?
I have great news. Be still....deliberately pause and sicover that God is God. Stop reaching back into your own treasure of security. Stop trying to pull the strings yourself. Stop monipulating people and situations. Stop ignoring reality. STop all that! How?
Be quiet. The all-wise God, hid from your eyes, is at work. Be very still and, for a change, listen."


Are you still reading my blog?? hee hee! if you are good!! If not I still love you, even though you have not even made it this far!! hee hee!!

I don't know, it just struck a chord in me..a lot of it i needed to hear.. The book is really good, i have only made it to like chapter two, cuz i just started it yesterday, and only seem to read it at nap time, cuz you can't when the kids are running around..but yea.

Today was hard day, i wan't feeling good, and the kids were doing everything i told them not to do..So i put on Brian Johnson, Taste and See...and i called the kids, who thought they were in trouble..and i blasted the song, and we danced and ran around the house..it was really cool and after that the day turned around..God is so interesing and strange and wonderful..i love him!!

Did anyone else get there 3 month letter? I got mine today...It was interesting..Now i have to go..
oh yea, anyone who reads this before saturday dec 11, i am taking my ACT at 8 am..it's a test you have to take to get into college for anyone who doesn't know..but yea..it should be okay..but can ya all just pray..thanks!

I love ya all,

I think My computer is going to die..Poor thing!

Wow!! How long as it been since I have written?? geez, not as long as Tim..but hey what can i say!!
All thanksgiving weekend I was sick which really kind of sucked, cuz i had plans, parties to attend and things to do, but i couldn't do it!
However being sick does have it's benifits, cuz sunday i didn't feel good, and I got two, not just one, but two massages, from two people..Man did that feel good!! I loved it!!

Now what do i say? Wednesday I walked into worship practice, only to be confronted with the fact that people were there to practice this christmas thing that we are doing...only to realize that I was suppose to be there, and i sat down, and as the songs were being sung, i realized that i don't like christmas songs at all..in fact the only thing i like about christmas is the Jesus part.. Don't ask cuz I really have no explanation, i just don't.

Ohmygosh the coolest thing happened the other day!! I was leaving work, after a long hard day there..I was flipping from one radio station to another to all of a sudden here the sweet vocals of Joey MacInyre(don't know how to spell his last name!) For those of you who don't know who that is..He was the high voice in the band, NKOTB!! hahaaha..if you don't know who that is, well they were like the first boy band in like the late '80s who i loved!! Yes, that's right, I was a New Kids On The Block fan!!! I still am!! i really like them.. Now you all can say what you want to say..but nothing will make me change my mind!!

I got to teach the youth thursday at church, which was really cool, cuz I taught for a little bit, then we put some music on a played some games, and just hung out..

friday, Chrissy, Carrie and I went t.p. ing... it was awesome, cuz the first house we did, we had to run into the ditch, and i forgetting about our recent amounts of rain slammed myself in the ditch, to quickly realize that there were water puddles, my body was wet and cold..as well as the t.p..but we t.p.ed anyway..it was fun..then one of the daughter's randomly opened the door for some reason and the next thing we hear is, "DAD!" then we took off running..it was so much fun..the next house we went too, there were like 10 cops have a convention around the corner, so we were kind of nervous but we did it anyway, we got like pink and purple streamers and wrapped it around his porch, cuz he thinks he's so cool, and well you would just have to know David to understand..In the middle of doing it, the cops left, i guess they ran out of donuts..so we were all trying to hide, but there was nowhere to hide..so we thought we were for sure busted..but he didn't get caught, but david knew it was us..by the time we got with all the houses it was close to one before i got home..we had bought 72 rolls and had about 12 left..we only did 3 houses..so i don't know if that is good or not..but it was just getting too cold outside..but it was so much fun..

My sisters, brother-in-law and niece watched movies last night..Van Helsing and A Cinderella Story..they were both pretty good..i have to say that in Van Helsing those were the best vampires i had ever seen and was rather impressed...

I have been looking at colleges to go too next fall..I think I may have found one..i looked at it before, yet nothing came from it..so i think i am going to contact the school and go check it out!! I think i may double major in Music and Youth Ministry, cuz I want to reach the kids so bad!! But we will see..God has a plan, and i want to be in it..
