It is a normal day on the GWU campus in Decker hall...when all of a sudden, from down the hall comes......supersteph!!!

There is a girl in danger, she must save......
then supersteph says "Its my job, and plus, i get to wear this purple cape..."

but in the blink of an eye, she was running down the hall to save another helpless student...

Thanks Supersteph, what would we do without you?

Home

Home

.

People go by, smiling faces,

it seems like it's gonna be great

But after some time, the faces blend together

There's nothing more- I can't find my place

.

I can't find a home away

I can't find a home when I stay

The only place that I can be at home

...is with YOU

.

Things are so familiar, driving by the places

I've known for all of my life

But the people don't know me, and I don't know them

They've forgotten me, It doesn't feel right

.

I can't find a home away
I can't find a home when I stay
The only place that I can be at home
...is with YOU

When I come to YOU...when I sing to YOU...when I cry to YOU..when I laugh to YOU...When i listen to YOU...

YOU know who I am....Lord YOU are my home...YOU are my home

.

and though I can't find a home away
and though I can't find a home when I stay
The only ONE who makes me feel at home...is YOU

I can be at home with YOU

.

Blood?

Well yesterday was the GWU Blood Drive. The last time i gave blood, was my last day @ WBFJ, so i was a little bit down, but thats ok. At lease i have good things to remember...but anyways, back to the blood.

Everything was fine and i sat in the chair and flinched a lot when she stuck me...yes it did hurt...enough to produce a tear...but the pain eventually eased. It took forever and the woman said to me in a sourthern bell accent "come on baby, don't you give me a NS after all this work." So i pumped my fist and it was hurting and i was tired and she looked at me and said "u alright baby?" i said, "yes ma'am" and she said, "you sure are looking pretty white there casper." So from that point on she called me casper. So i sat there forever and she looked at me and said "i don't think u r gonna make it baby." And so i didn't. my bag wasn't full enough...i didn't have enough blood. :( So rather than giving life, i gave to the studies of blood...i was ok about it. i didn't feel that well though...my nice lady nurse told me that i would be bruised...so though my arm "hurts real bad" as napoleon dynomite would say it. but i think that it was worth it.



I CAN"T WAIT 4 FALL BREAK THIS WEEKEND!!!

Gigatt...

Well. Tonight I am pretty much alone. Everyone went to the football game. I stayed back to do some styding and just be alone. Its pretty nice, but in expectedly, lonely...

I went to the chapel to spend time with the Lord. As i opened my journal and began to write, it felt right, like thats what I was supposed to be doing...and really it is what i should always be doing. So then i sat in front of the piano...i have been taking lessons...i started 2 play "Amazing Love" and just worshiped...and it felt right. I realized that spending time with the Lord is right, its where i want to be, its AWESOME.

College has brought some challendes to my life. Challenges to my Faith...challenges to my activites....challenges to my thoughts...challenges to my hopes and dreams...but they r good. this is what college is for...better now than never

God is good. I am blessed...i don't deserve to be here...

Loneliness can be pretty good...

the things that move me

Now I know that some people(including myself) wonder "Why in the world would that girl(me) come home 2 weekends in a row and use up her gas just to go work at the fair...?"

It is a valid question which can be answered in a few pictures from the last 2 weekends.


















There it is folks. These are the things that move me. These are the things that make me smile and warm my heart. God Willing, i will be at the fair every year till i am 100. Thanks WBFJ for allowing me to be there...that is where it all began.

Peace, Love, & a Turkey Leg
