[Oct. 29th, 2004|02:13 am] [ mood | worried ] [ music | i am - jill phillips & keep singing - mercy me on repeat ] i can't say anything right now except please pray. i dont know any details and i probably couldn't share them if i did, but just pray for this someone i know and love. there are things going on i don't understand or comprehend, but God is constant, and He is near. i keep reminding myself of that - He stays the same each day from yesterday until forever. pray...that's all i can ask. ~paige link 1 comment|post comment

i really should be studying [Oct. 27th, 2004|12:30 pm] [ mood | busy ] [ music | nicole nordeman ] i really should be studying. fall break is over. it was hysterically fun and all sorts of entertaining, but it all ended when i woke up to reality with less than four hours of sleep. i watched somewhere in the neighborhood of eight movies, went to a concert, went to a musical, met new friends, got closer to old ones...made the most generous sacrifice i believe i've ever made...which brings me back to the fact that i need to be studying, working and or sleeping. geoff and i thought we had a week and two days to work on our count of monte cristo film project, but yesterday around four, we switched weeks with a friend in need and so our project is due in just under 29 hours. gah! yeah, i wont be sleeping much tonight, but thats cool, right? *sigh* *grin* oh well. it'll feel really nice this weekend when we're done! enough for now; i must go study for my spanish test...bleg. *hugs and kisses to all* paigels link post comment

the final moments [Oct. 22nd, 2004|07:39 am] [ mood | excited ] [ music | nothing - my roommate is still asleep...zzz ] the final moments until fall break are quickly passing, and soon it will be here. only a few measly classes stand between me and a long weekend of relaxation. the idea has been teasing me for weeks, and now it has almost arrived. the feeling of exhilaration is tangible...the smell of freedom is in the air. until later. i must take my algebra test before i am freed...*sigh* link post comment

yippee [Oct. 20th, 2004|12:01 am] [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | the ding of IM firing messages back and forth ] i'm done! i am utterly, completely finished! (but i still have to print it out...:D) and the strange thing about it is that i actually enjoyed writing it once i got into it. it was incredible. now, i'll admit it's not the "greatest" paper, but i feel i put everything i had into it to make it the best i could, so i'm happy. fall break is but a few days away and i'm content. hehe. and i might actually get to go to bed early! yippee! *hugs and kisses to all* paige link post comment

bah [Oct. 19th, 2004|01:31 pm] [ mood | annoyed ] [ music | classical music to stimulate brain activity ] today is exegesis day. yippee! if you ask for me tomorrow, you will find me a very tired person... (very pathetic attempt to steal from shakespeare; congrats if you can actually figure out which line i'm sorta imitating but not really...) (wow. and i still have a paper to write. this should be interesting. :D) paige link post comment

thoughts provoked [Oct. 17th, 2004|12:51 pm] [ mood | excited ] [ music | nothing - my roommate is still asleep...zzz ] last nights movie night...after being moved from msc1 to the village center...took an interesting turn after we finished watching the two "scheduled" movies. wilson had purchased a copy of eternal sunshine (which many of us, myself included, had never seen) and he suggested we watch it. so into the dvd player it went. and i sat in awe and amazement. it messed with my head a little until i started to figure it out, and then it was just plain cool. i'm not a big jim carrey fan, but he was freakin' amazing in this movie! i don't want to ruin it for those who have not seen this artistic triumph, but suffice it to say, it is a must see. my mind was running crazy last night after i got back to the dorms...due in large part to that movie. :D i'm thinking about owning it...someday....maybe... :D well, enough for now. mel and i are off to lunch...off campus. *giggles with excitement* yay! happy thoughts, happy thoughts. love to all - paige link 1 comment|post comment

halfway [Oct. 16th, 2004|01:05 pm] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | joshua bell...the greatest violin cd i own ] its one o'clock saturday and i'm halfway through what i needed to accomplish. yay for hard work! i got up at nine, took a shower and then got to work. i finished my gandhi paper first, and then went straight into my intellectual cornerstones paper. that paper was fun to write because i just typed it as i thought of it...it wasn't like i sat down and organized it. consequently, its a bit random and jumps around in spots but i figure, meh. who cares... i had lunch with melby, andrew, tiffany, kelly and so forth ... i had a yummy spinach salad with mandarin oranges *smiles in contentment* and then two pieces of gingerbread for dessert! that is one thing saga does well ... gingerbread. :D well, i must start to work on my exegesis. more later. movie night tonight @ 7 in msc1...do come. it will be all sorts of entertaining. cyah. paigels link 4 comments|post comment

sunrise [Oct. 15th, 2004|07:22 am] [ mood | calm ] [ music | silence is golden ] I woke up and saw the sunrise this morning through my open window...the beauty and wonder of His hand. Lord, I give this day to you...*smile* link post comment

talks [Oct. 12th, 2004|01:31 am] [ mood | satisfied ] [ music | psalm 143 - shane and shane ] do you ever notice how after you have a nice long talk with someone, you tend to walk away feeling...good? there's something about just talking (about anything, everything) that brings stuff into focus. one thing leads to another, and then suddenly you look at your train of thought and think: what the heck?!? (but in a good way!) a lot of stuff has been going on ... some not so good, but mostly good ... yet there are still these few things that i haven't really let go of yet. sometimes, i give things to God in the morning, but then i try and take them back by afternoon. i've decided to reinstate my "God" box: whenever I have something really bothering me, or something i constantly give and then take back, i'll write it down and put it in a box. whatever is in that box belongs to God...when it's in the box, i don't have to worry or think about it. ever so often, i'll sit down and take stuff out of the God box and that's the time I will have set aside to think about it, pray about it, etc etc etc. then, it goes right back into the box... i'm starting tonight. *puts foot down* there are so many things to think about during this first semester at college - and i'll readily admit that perhaps my focus hasn't always been where it should be. i'm praying that God will help me focus and really get my work done that i need to accomplish. speaking of accomplishing, i need to get to bed; i just remembered i have an interview for newspaper at nine o'clock! gah! pooh. i was planning on sleeping. *sigh* oh well. it's for the best, i guess. perhaps i can even get to bed early tomorrow night! *laughs* right... just pray for school in general - midterms are coming up ... and the workload is, as always, increasing. pray for stress, and time-management *cough* and enough sleep to live off of. :D g'night all. pleasant dreams. pgee link post comment

"Grand Design" [Oct. 10th, 2004|02:17 am] [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | chris tomlin - arriving ] "Grand Design" Written by Jill Phillips and Andy Gullahorn I knew it all along that this day was coming Even though I knew it doesn’t hurt any less But somehow the suffering draws me to You I could start running in anger But then what’s the point of a Savior I feel the pain but it still doesn’t change who You are Nothing I feel is outside of the reach of Your arms My whole world could crumble but all of the pieces remain In Your hands that are waiting to put them together again Just like I know You will in Your own time, in Your own wisdom One day I’ll look back and see the grand design Maybe it will make sense then, these questions I have But with it all here front and center Sometimes it’s hard to remember I could start running in anger But then what’s the point of a Savior Those words are so powerful...and so penetrating. What's the point of a Savior if I don't let Him save me? His hand holds everything - and He never changes. What more could we ask? Pgee link post comment

[Oct. 5th, 2004|12:11 am] [ mood | refreshed ] [ music | if you could see what i see (so being played at my wedding) ] there are good days. there are bad days. there are some days when it rains, and others when it pours. today was a good, very rainy day. i got a chance to wear my comfy sweater (without looking too terribly weird) and my suitemate got a laugh out of me blowdrying my jeans... some of the things i'm working through will take some time, but thats just going to be a part of life. all in all, today was the first day of the rest of my life (which can technically be said of every day, but thats besides the point...) and i'm loving my semi-positive outlook. i love collecting people...friendships are amazing. i just have to be happy with all sorts of friends for the moment. *faint smile* this afternoon/evening, we practiced "our" song again, and i left speer chapel with a heart overflowing with love. everytime i sing those words and each time i'm surrounded by the beauty of my friends, my spirit is lifted beyond measure. everytime i'm around that certain group of people, something changes and everything else seems less important... i think its because we're all allowed to be genuine with each other. perhaps. something to think on. but enough for now. i'm tired, and i believe i'm going to go to bed...early for once! and i'm actually getting ahead on my homework! *huge smile* sending out a general i love you...*hugs and kisses to all* paigels God is just that awesome. - Scott (and isnt it the truth?) "Oh God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you..." Ps. 63:1a link post comment

I AM [Oct. 4th, 2004|12:10 am] [ mood | peaceful ] [ music | Jill Phillips - I AM ] Oh gently lay your head upon my chest And I will comfort you like a mother while you rest. The tide can change so fast But I will stay The same through the past, the same in the future, same today. I am constant, and I am near, I am peace that shatters all your secret fears. I am holy, and I am wise, I'm the only one who knows your heart's desires. your heart's desires. Oh weary, tired, and worn, Let out your sighs, And drop that heavy load you pull cause mine is light. And I know you through and through. There's no need to hide. I want to show you love that is deep, and high and wide. I am constant, and I am near, I am peace that shatters all your secret fears. I am holy, and I am wise, I'm the only one who knows your heart's desires. your heart's desires. Oh gently lay your head upon my chest... And I will comfort you like a mother while you rest. "I Am" - Jill Phillips (c) 1999 Word Music, Inc I learned this song earlier today, but as I listen to it now on a cd I didn't know I had (*smile*) the words really speak to my heart. Before, they were true, but now, they're my personal promise, they're my personal hope, they're my personal strength. God and I had a pretty long talk tonight...I needed that. This past week...*sigh* Pray for me - pray for the unspoken prayers of the heart. A group of my friends and I try out for talent show I think Tuesday night at 8:20 - pray that God would be in the middle of that and really use us as a blessing. (We're singing the Jill Phillips song as a three part harmony with guitar...its truly beautiful...) I love you. Each and everyone of you. You know who you are. Prayerfully ~ paige link post comment

what is sleep? [Oct. 2nd, 2004|09:20 am] [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | point of grace - 24 ] sleep? what? i'm not sure i understand the concept! hehe. last night was great! we (melby and i) went to the honors bible study, which turned into a huge semantics debate - your or our? we? who's we? who's us? hehe. after that we headed over to msc1 for conversation, laughter and some good natured ribbing. : ) slowly, we trickled back to the dorms until the last few of us headed back at 2:50. my little cousins are coming today...i'm actually excited! i haven't seen them in months. i'm actually not sure i've seen them since emma caroline's bday back in july. weird! anywho, luke is five, and emma c is four. they're uber adorable, even if they can be pains sometimes... its hard to imagine i want three of them. *shudders with a smile* amazingly enough, i dont have TOO much homework this weekend...its pretty nice. tonight we're having a movie night down in msc1...the lineup is as follows: @7, braveheart (hehe. great movie) and immediately following, miracle (which i've never seen but geoff swears is an excellent movie.) later today, i hope to bake cookies for the enjoyment of all, but we'll see how the time goes. geoff requested chocolate chip, and i imagine that is what i'll end up making bc i have the ingredients and i'm broke. *grin* i ventured down to the ice cave for the second time ever yesterday. that was an...experience. actually, it was all kinds of fun; the people there crack me up. fluxx is an interesting game...one that i understand in theory, but yet when its my turn, i get so confused its just not worth it. i quit playing after 2 games, and turned instead to grasping the concept of historical frankenstein monsters, or something of the like. they turned out to be quite amusing, quite amusing indeed. somehow we all migrated to what i guess is the "computer" room, and suddenly gallagher snaps or something and starts hitting conan with a pillow chanting "find a happy place!" *sigh* how did i get sucked into all this? *smile* before that, actually, i had innocently mentioned this quote referring to turtles stampeding through peanut butter, and that one comment launched a debate about scott moving through peanut butter, melting it with his kinetic energy...*shakes head in wonder* i'm about to give up trying to understand, and just let myself laugh without any thought whatsoever. its just funnier that way. :D my friend rachel has been in the hospital under observation. she apparently was having some pretty bad stomach pains, and they performed an endoscopy yesterday (where they stick a camera down your throat - i had that done awhile back in regards to my acid reflux...) but i haven't heard back anything else. she's doing ok, but just keep her in your prayers. :D i know she'd appreciate it. wow. i just realized how long this is. i must wrap it up for now...mi familia should be here soon! ttyl. paigels ps. i hope you're enjoying this vicarious journey through my life - its even better in person! :D link post comment

psalm 145 [Sep. 29th, 2004|01:32 am] [ mood | exhausted ] [ music | silence is golden ] "Great is the LORD...His greatness is unsearchable..." "The LORD is gracious...Slow to anger and great in mercy. The LORD is good to all..." "The LORD upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food in due season. You open your hand and you satisfy the desire of every living thing..." what an encouragement. what a blessing. tonight was awesome. i procrastinated, again, which is why i'm still up...but we (we being mainly melby, fleetman, courtney, geoff and i) were all down in thomas lobby talking about ... well, lots of stuff. it was just a good time all around and i didn't have to think about school for a brief moment in time. :D i'll post more detail later (if i have TIME) but today was a very good day, which makes three days in a row (counting sunday which was a good-day-in-the-making)! g'night all. *great big group hug!!!* paige link post comment
