passing 4 desserts- everyone gets their own spoon
"For Good"
the Bailee/Rachel song:
(Glinda):
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
(Elphaba):
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
(Glinda):
Because I knew you
(Both):
I have been changed for good
(Elphaba):
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
(Glinda):
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
(Both):
And none of it seems to matter anymore
(Glinda):

When I'm tired I can't remember everything in my day- therefore I write a non-list post. I helped my mom a little bit this morning, and this afternoon took her, my dad, and my four younger siblings to the airport. They're going to Disney World! woot :) I cooked calzones for Nathan, Nick, and I for dinner. Tonight I went to the free showing of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at the Repertory Theater. It was really good, but quite freaky. I get scared super easily. I baked a "red velvet" cake tonight... you'll hear more tomorrow, and also practiced piano for the first time since before spring break. (lesson tomorrow- YIKES!)
Verse of the Day-
Ephesians 6:10-13, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm."

Thursday
... No list today. I'm tired. This morning, Hannah and I didn't get up to our alarms, so we missed sunrise. Sad. We walked to the library to return our DVDs, then walked home along the beach. Shower, pack, checkout, breakfast at Key Lime Bistro. We had some extra time, so we visited the manatees for the last time. Long ride in the taxi... Long wait at the airport... Sleep in the plane. My Daddy picked us up! I love him. A lot. It was sad to part with Hannah. Home is very sweet. I love my beautiful Mama! My Tea of the Month and Martha Stewart Living were awaiting me on my desk... that made me extra happy. It's Benjamin's birthday! I brought him "52 things to do on the beach" and fish-shaped candy on a stick. He was pretty happy. When Mary got home from gymnastics she was soo excited to see me. While I was gone she and Mom made a creepy version of me in my bed using my pajamas and Mary's stuffed animals ...yeah, creepy. Grandma and Grandpa and Jake came over for dinner to celebrate Benjamin's birthday. That was fun. When they all left, I took fake "senior pictures" of Caleb for the yearbook, and talked to my parents. I'm so excited to get in my own bed...
Verse of the Day-
Romans 8:28, "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose."

Okay, this last one is a picture that Hannah and I happened upon last night... isn't it the saddest yet funniest thing you've ever seen? His name is Kenny. Seriously.

To the contrary, 'if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."

What I Love About Today-
walking on the beach
reading Ephesians together
"free" breakfast Key Lime Bistro
crabcakes on english muffins
going to see the Fred and Bubba the manatees.
exploration walk
tanning and not being bored
listening to Britton's sermon podcast on Micah
eating green ice cream cones (mint chocolate for me and key lime for Hanney)
washing to all the little shoppes
free ice water from Starbucks
buying really cute pink sunglasses for Mary and Rebekah
power napping
another walk on the beach
eating lunch at 4:30
chilling on our front porch whilst consuming Starbucks double shots
writing postcards to our friends and family!
my super-long comfy pants
getting RC Otters to go and eating it on the beach after sunset
listening to live music from our front porch
laughing really hard with Hannah
Verse of the Day-
Ephesians 4:10-16, "He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And He gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."
Quote of the Day-
Hannah: That's Bubba, and friend Fred. Frubba is their baby.
Rachel: But Bubba and Fred are both boy names.
Hannah: Bubba could be a woman. A really big one.

Saturday
Things I Love About Today-
waking up at 5:45 and getting all ready to go (to Florida!)
getting to Hannah's house early! Seriously, I'm never early. It was amazing
joking with Uncle Monte on the way to the airport
coffee!
chatting with Hanney while waiting for our plane
laughing at Hannah being scared on the plane
turbulence
being amazed at how huge the world is every time I fly
landing in Florida!
palm trees
pretending that we were going to meet our parents in the taxi
Captiva Island!
our adorable little loft!
my new swimsuit and my adorable sunhat!
taking a really really long walk on the beach with Hannah!
collecting pretty shells
going to the grocery store twice in a row
summery clothes
going to RC Otters for dinner!
my delectable bronzed grouper sandwich
asking for crayons to color on the paper tablecloth
using only half of our gift certificate on dinner!
flowers in my hair
sitting on the beach at twilight with coffee
watching a video of 8-year old Mary breathing on the mirror to make it foggy
taking pictures of our attempts to do handstands
praying for a friend, laughing at our Kleenex box
having a caring Pastor Josh (as Hanney likes to call him)
Hannah's agullator shorts
the adorable little kid in the movie Australia
eating thin mints with milk
spending the entire day with my best friend
Verse of the Day-
Galations 6:2, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
Romans 15:1, "We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves."
1 Thessalonians 5:14, "And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all."
Quote of the Day-
Hannah: Isn't this sad that we can't think of anything funny right now?
Rachel: We laughed all day!
Hannah: We suck at this right now.
...later...
Rachel: I wanna know his middle name. And his favorite color.
...later...
Rachel: Mannah- Man plus Hannah. How do you make man out of Rachel? Manchel."

Things I Love About Today-
banana walnut bread
having a merciful piano teacher
friendly bank tellers
walking from the C lot
Spring-ish weather
being early to choir
playing the really low huge bells!
Laurel taking pictures of Nick and I with celery and raisins
Driving to choir with Mrs. Hoard, Mrs. Harris, and Mom
Singing the Hallelujah Chorus
Other things that I'm too tired to think of right now
Quote of the Day-
Romans 12:3-8, "For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you(H) not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness."

Things I Love About Today-
...I'm tired. No list today. Today was a super productive and therefore awesome day. I got lots of stuff done this morning. This afternoon I went grocery shopping, started to pack for Florida (4 days!!!), and this evening I went to Jenny's Bridal Shower :)
Verse of the Day-
Romans 12:1-2
"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Verse of the Day-
Psalm 145
I will extol You, my God and King,
and bless Your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless You
and praise Your name forever and ever.
Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised,
and His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall commend Your works to another,
and shall declare Your mighty acts.
On the glorious splendor of Your majesty,
and on Your wondrous works, I will meditate.
They shall speak of the might of Your awesome deeds,
and I will declare Your greatness.
They shall pour forth the fame of Your abundant goodness
and shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
Yahweh is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love,
Yaweh is good to all,
and His mercy is over all the He has made.
All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Yahweh,
and all Your saints shall bless You!
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom
and tell of Your power,
to make known to the children of man Your mighty deeds,
and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and Your dominion endures
throughout all generations.
Yahweh is faithful in all His words
and kind in all His works.
Yahweh upholds all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look to You,
and You give them their food in due season.
You open Your hand;
You satisfy the desire of every living thing.
Yahweh is righteous in all His ways
and kind in all His works.
Yahweh is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call on Him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him;
He also hears their cry and saves them.
Yahweh preserves all who love Him,
but all the wicked He will destroy.
My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh,
and let all flesh bless His holy name forever and ever."

'My dear Gerald,' I said, 'women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.'

Sunday
This is not a list post. This is a writing post.
I missed another day- another Saturday! I may very likely miss next Saturday also, because I'm going to Florida! That was a side note.
Anyway, I came home from South Carolina on Tuesday (sick), spent Wednesday and Thursday with my family, then Friday after school went to the Woods' house to watch their children with Anna while the parents were gone for the weekend. Anna and I had so much fun- with the kids, and just the two of us when they were in bed. It was a good weekend.
Except, I'm still sick. I can't sing at all- I've been just listening and follow along in the choir at school, and I didn't even try to sing in choir at church today. I laughed at myself during every hymn. My speaking voice is even slightly ridiculous every once in a while when my cough aggravates it. My cough makes my throat sore too. Blah.
Good news- I went shopping with Anna and Hannah this afternoon after we left the Woods. I bought a fun shirt and sandals for Florida. Pretty exciting.
Also, tomorrow is going to be a fun day. I'm going to hang out with my mom in the morning, have coffee with Bailee and hear her exciting stories, have lunch with my dad, go to choir, have coffee with Lindsay and hear HER exciting stories, then go home. I'm sure I'll hear stories from Mary at that point. Later I have to go to chorale society though... but at least I get to have dinner with my family.
Okay, I'm sick and tired and have lots to do tomorrow (like practice piano- haven't practiced in almost 2 weeks and I have a lesson on Wednesday. Argh) so I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight.
Do you like how I made this almost list-ish the way I paragraphed everything off?
PS: I need a pedicure.
