cept to Christ. 🙂

yea. so it has been a long time since my last post. i apologize. but no. i have not eloped or moved to another country. (although i did visit bemidji minnesota this past week, and tha’s pretty close to a different country. *grin* yay for northern minnesota. heh)

so i really wo’t make this post long, but ‘ll give you a little update on my life. and i do want to warn all you people reading this, that my posts here may become very sparse. i start training for my year with youth encounter on august 17th. so this is my last week here in milwaukee, and i have a TON still to get done.

last night was my benefit concert/coffee house/art sale at the UCM house. and it was awesome. God totally answers prayers… above and beyond my expectations. it was an amazing time of worship instead of just a performance. which is totally what i prayed for. much of my artwork walked out the door, and ‘m around $475 closer to my goal for fundraising. 😀

in other news, God has totally been revealing more and more of my calling, and His plan for my future. ‘m really excited. a bit nervous, but very at peace. following Christ is definitely an adventure. but what a fun ride it is!

i have a lot of pictures to post, and a dvd to make, so i better get to work on stuff. ‘ll post at least one more time this week, and will hopefully have my travel journal up and running, so i can announce that. oh. go name my djembe i want that to have a name before it comes on the road with me! 🙂

have a most awesome day, and may God lead you to wonderful adventures in your world.

oh what a relief it is… i finally named my new powerbook 🙂 and now… my new djembe is up on the namethis… so go suggest some names. lots of names. there have been some excellent suggestions made there… so keep it up you naming geniuses you! *grin*

so i have a whole box of lotsa fizz (that i bought from discountcandy.com) sitting here on the table with me.

and ‘m sitting here in my makeshift office….

and her’s the dog ‘m sitting on for (hehehe)

and get this… the other day when i was grocery shopping… i saw these:

let me tell you about these “cheese bolts”. see.. i figured they are just a wannabe bag of “flami’ hot cheetos.” and yea.. i was right

.. but they do NOT taste as good. the package design is pretty creative… but they do’t taste as good as my flami’ hots. *shrugs* o well.

anyways. go name my djembe. ‘m going back to work 😛

ok… so yea, maybe ‘ve got some loyal visitors that rock my face off! and maybe my posts have been uncommentable. (heh. i made up a new word. yay for me)

anyways, i made a poster design. ‘m not sure if i am completely happy with it yet, but her’s what ‘ve got so far

(click for a larger version):

anyways, in other news, ‘m house-sitting/dog-sitting this weekend. so i wo’t be at home. ‘ll definitely be bringing my laptop and getting some work done.

hmm.. this post also looks uncommentable. so let me leave you a discussion topic…. ummmm *thinks* ok, here. if you do’t want to comment on this post, or my artwork, comment on these pictures

ok. tha’s all for now. remember that you can still submit your names for my computer and you can discuss other random things at the boards 🙂

and now, ‘m gonna go sleep in my bed. 😀

‘m just getting ready to leave for another week. this time i am driving down to bushnell, illinois, for cornerstone. if you are gonna be there, go to the grassroots music stage on wednesday at 3:00pm, and watch the restoration project and bring hundreds of your friends too 🙂 *waves* have a great week!

wow. after soo much <i'neglectin' my webpage, and now i post twice in one day? man. my webpage wo’t know what to do with itself.

but anyways, i just wanted to post pictures of my new haircut. i’s great having a friend who can cut hair, and does such a good job. so thanks to amy, her’s my cute haircut and highlighting 🙂

‘m sitting on my front porch right now, watching the rain come down. i never realized how fun a wireless internet connection can be. man, this rain is great. i wish my webpage had’scratch‘n sniff</b' capabilities. (watch someone invent that and make millions. all from my idea… heh) i love the smell of a nice light rain storm. looking at our front lawn, our grass really needs this rain. i want to go run in the rain, but i think ‘ll put my laptop back in the house first. *grin* any-who, ‘m off to get my hair cut. *waves*
