Okay you guys... I know it's a few months away... but who knows that they are going to BTI?
I'm planning on it. I'm saving up the money and everything. The only down side is to this is that I was going to go with my sister... but as of right now it doesn't look like she will be able to. Sooo.
I do have to figure that out. Cause I don't have a car, nor a license yet... so I can't go by myself.
No but I've been thinking about something else if I can't go to BTI then in that case Gracie e-mail me please. =)
Just help me pray that I can find a way there and back.

Anywho. I've got to go grab something to eat so I can then get ready for work!
Ya so I'll cya later!

I have to leave for work here in a few minutes but I wanted to get on here and post something real fast.

Okay bye!

~Denise~

Hahahaha that was way to fast! Okay so all I've been doing is working! But Brad the manager didn't even start me out (Ms. First Job) at min. wage! Can you believe that?! I mean come on! No I can't complain about it cause min. wage is like $5.15 an hour and I'm actually making $6.50 an hour! Yeah I guess they think I'm purty special. =)

Anywho I really do need to get going leave in like two minutes.

Love Ya'll!

Oh one more thing! I'm not sure who all knows Kenneth Thompson but his mom e-mailed us and asked us to pray for him. In her own words she said, really the get down on your knees and seek God for Kenneth. She didn't give any details yet. But she said she would when she had more time. This is the family that just lost a son Colby in a horrible car accident this year. I'll try to give more updates as they come as much as possible.

Always,

Teaser Dream! Ehh

2006-12-05T16:05:00.000-08:00

Last night I had a dream. I had a dream that I got the job I've been trying to get since forever at Hobby Lobby. I called it a teaser dream this morning and got kinda upset. Laughed it off and went about my day. Trying to figure out where else I could try and get a job around this time of year. I have to tell you I thought working for Hobby Lobby would be fun too! I've been trying to get a job there for weeks! So... when I had this dream I had every right to get upset! But today I asked the Lord to take care of me. And wouldn't you know! The Lord is so good to me. He just knows how to give you a great big hug AND the desires of your hearts! I received a call today from the manager at Hobby Lobby and he really needs me to come in tomorrow so I can go ahead and get trained by Jane the head cashier. I GOT HIRED! I start tomorrow morning at 9. Wow. I'm just so nervous I don't know where to begin! So I do ask you guys to pray for me. I really want to do a good job here at my first job. I need the Lords strength in this. For different reasons.

Yesterday was Matthews 13th birthday. I know it. He is getting so big! It's scary too!
Then Dads birthday is coming up the 14th, and then mine the 17th! Ya I'll be 17 on the 17th. Haha that will only come around once a year. =)

All the snow is about gone now. It was 45o this afternoon. my toes are frozen... socks or no socks! *sigh* theres just no gettin warm I guess. =(
Well the Lord is just blessing everywhere I turn! I hope he's doing the same for you all.
I couldn't thank him enough!

19 days left till Christmas, 12 left till my 17th birthday. *smiles*

2006-12-01T11:31:00.000-08:00

I won a logo design contest this past week. $100!
Yeah I'm working on a few more maybe I can bring in some more money.
PLUS!
I've applied for a job at Hobby Lobby just went in for my interview yesterday afternoon. It went really well... Now I'm waiting on him to call me either today or Monday afternoon. So just help me pray. If it's the Lords will then that job is mine! lol.

Besides all that, Everyone here is coming down with a cold. Especially me. I've got a really sore throat. So ya'll pray for us please.

Hmm... I'm not sure what else to say.

OH YEAH! Thanksgiving Tammy and Christ and the girls are coming over for about a week I think. That should be alot of fun!
Now that we have a house to fit all of us in. I'm excited!
Just recently someone was asking me if I'd be helping to cook this year... and I was like Well I kinda have to inless I have to work... Which If I do get hired I already know I'll be working the day before Thanksgiving and the two days after especailly. Because that's holiday rush hahaha.

But anywho.
Thats all I've got to say for now. ;)

!Jesus rose from the grave and you can't even get out of bed!

2006-11-10T17:47:00.000-08:00

Do you see, do you see
All the people sinking down
Don't you care, don't you care
Are you gonna let them drown

How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done

"Oh bless me Lord, bless me Lord"
You know it's all I ever hear
No one aches, no one hurts
No one even sheds one tear

But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds
And He cares for your needs
And you just lay back
And keep soaking it in,
Oh, can't you see it's such a sin?

Cause He brings people to you door,
And you turn them away
As you smile and say,
"God bless you, be at peace"
And all heaven just weeps
Cause Jesus came to you door
You've left him out on the streets

Open up open up
And give yourself away
You see the need, you hear the cries
So how can you delay

God's calling and you're the one
But like Jonah you run
He's told you to speak
But you keep holding it in,
Oh can't you see it's such a sin?

The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just can't fight
Cause it's asleep in the light
How can you be so dead
When you've been so well fed
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you can't even get out of bed

Oh, Jesus rose from the dead
Come on, get out of your bed

How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done

Don't close your eyes
Don't pretend the jobs done
Come away, come away, come away with Me my love,
Come away, from this mess, come away with Me, my love.

Song is on my myspace profile.
Theres a link so you can listen to the song.
It's by Keith Green.
The words are so true.
Unfortuantly most of us in the world are this lazy.
It's time to wake up people! We have a work to do for God.

~Denise~

Whatsoever things are true:

2006-11-09T08:39:00.000-08:00

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

I really like this scripture, so I thought I would post it. I guess it's something that most of us forget about in our day to day lives.

Not alot going on today. We finally have our school books. I am two months behind! Because we didn't have all the books. So I've got some major catching up to do.
Still haven't heard from Hobby Lobby manager yet. But It's okay. His father died Saturday and he hasn't been in. Probably won't be until Friday or Saturday. So still praying about that.

Not to much to say right now. Perhaps I'll post later if I think of anything.

Later,

~Denise~

Quick post before church.

2006-11-05T07:19:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone... I'm so sorry for being gone so long away from this.
Believe it or not, I've actually been busy! hahaha
I've been painting my room the past week or so now.
When I get it done I'll post some pictures for everyone to see. It is looking so good!

We have alot of revivals coming up in the next two months. I can't give the dates right now because, well I don't really remember them at the moment.. =\.
But I know one is here at our church in Broken Arrow, with Brother Furlong.
Then another at Westside with my dad.
Then another at Broken Arrow with our newly appointed Brother Dewayne Smith.
Phew... there are a few more but I'm not sure where and who with... so pardon my forgetfulness. =)

Well what else?

Oh I'm applying for a job at Hobby Lobby. I'm suppose to go in tomorrow morning and see the manager. He sounds really positive about hiring me perhaps. So I do ask you to pray with me about this situation.

Thanksgiving is coming up. But to even store anything we have to get a new fridge. All we have right now is a little one we bought from wallyworld. =( And My sister and her family are suppose to be coming over then... but we really need a fridge before then. Also pray about that with us that the Lord will supply our needs.

Well I guess I better head off to church. I'm gonna try and be more active on here again. *smiles*

General Assembly 2006

2006-09-04T07:30:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone.
The General Assembly was great.
I really enjoyed the VLB program. God really moved throughout each and every ones spirit.
Praise the Lord for such a wonderful time in him this past week.
I'm sad that it's over and I had to say goodbye to friends and family, but one thing that will keep me going is knowing that The Church of God is one step closer to God himself.
I love the Lord, he reall gave me a blessing while there.
I pray he will help our local church in Broken Arrow, to bring youth around the area, to Jesus Christ.

God Bless,

~Denise~

Why Me???

2006-08-21T07:44:00.000-07:00

Could there possibly be a time that I could PLEASE go without injuring myself?
C'mon! This is stupid!
Well at youth camp this year while playing volley-ball I hit the ball over and my right shoulder popped... it didn't hurt to bad, i figured it would go away! so then later that day at camp I went to do archery... well lets just say i only got to arrows out when i gave up because it was hurting my shoulder.
Then the other day I got into the car and i think it might have popped again...
well anyways dad and mom got to looking at it the next day, and dad came to the conclusion that I pulled a muslce in my shoulder. So To let it heal I'm having to wear a sling. It hurts... it almost feels like a bone is sticking through my shoulder lol... but anywho.

My sister and her husband and three girls are here for a couple of weeks. And then the General Assembly. Please pray though... we might not even have to money to make it to the assembly. I know that God can make a way, even when we with our human eyes can't see it possible.
Isn't he just wonderful!

Well I'm gonna go now. I'm trying to get into posting more often... I guess life hasn't been too interesting enough for me lol.

Laterz,

~Denise~

NO i'm not dead really!

2006-08-16T07:26:00.000-07:00

lol Sorry guys... I've been in Washington state for the past week at a family reunion.
I'm exausted so I won't say much. I'll post pictures later... but heres my route.
We traveled along ways. From Drumright, Ok to Hood Park in Washington State.
It was so so so pretty up there. I was born in Washington so hey. It has been years since we have been up there.. so long I wasn't even old enough to remember! hahaha.

~Denise~

I'm Not Dead!

2006-07-27T08:26:00.000-07:00

I just haven't been sure what to write about.
What has happened since the last time I posted?
WOAH! Alot! lol.

Well lets see.
Last week I was away at Youth Camp here in Oklahoma.
I came home with a boyfriend! Yep.
His name is Richard Lee B.
Thats him by the way.
He just turned 18.
He is so so so sweet.
He should be coming to the assembly, so You can meet him there.

Well my jaw is still locked up. But the weirdest thing happened today, it popped like it use to before it locked. but it popped and I could open it a little more.
But now I have a slight headache. I'm telling you, this is so stupid. Talk about constant earaches!
But I'm trusting the Lord to heal me of it. Because I know he can. It's been 5 months that it's been locked up. and I'm sick of it.

Well I can't think of much more. We are still living with Grandma. I'm still so ready for my own room.
We are planning to come to the assembly. So I hope to see everyone there! It's just around the corner! *squeel*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So now all I need... is .... a ..... VIOLIN! hahaha.

Orientation - Central Technical Institute - Drumright, Oklahoma

2006-05-02T08:18:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone!

You'll never guess what happened at orientation! lOl.

Well first lets start out with this.

1. I took the test.
2. Open house was scheduled.
3. Open House was canceled due to the roads being covered in snow.
4. I wait an entire month to retake the test to higher up my grades a little more.
5. Finally the day comes around to take the test and now they tell me that I have to take a different test because the test being taken that day, I had already taken. So I have to schedule another time to take the different kind of test.
6. By this point I'm really upset, to the point I'm ready to cry. So I called momma. Told her everything, and asked her to come and get me.
7. Chet, the guy who decides who gets into what class see's me, comes out, sits down in front of me, and tells me I got in, and that I don't have to retake the test.
8. Some time passes and I'm waiting for my letter. It comes in the mail telling me what I already knew. I GOT IN! THEN! It says orientation April 27, 2006.
9. So this day finally comes around. It started at 5:00 pm. We are all anxcious to go.
So we leave finally for it. We get there......... are you ready for this????

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL THE LIGHTS ARE OUT DUE TO AN APPARENT OUTAGE!
THAT HAD BEEN OUT SINCE NOON! THEY CALLED ALL THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS BUT HAD NO WAY OF REACHING ANY OF THE ADULTS OR HOMESCHOOLERS! SO ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE SHOWING UP. WALKING INSIDE THE BUILDING WHILE ITS PITCH BLACK!
THEN WE SEE PEOPLE WALKING AROUND WITH FLASHLIGHTS SO WE SIT DOWN AND WAIT FOR THEM TO SEE US ALL. THEY TELL US THEY WILL PROBABLY JUST RESCHEDULE.

HAHAHAHA.... That was orientation for me. =)

But Grace asked me to tell about it... so I did. lol.

--------------------------------------ON ANOTHER NOTE-------------------------------------

Mom applied for a job at the bank. And if she gets the job, then we are going to go ahead and move into a place. We are looking at moving into an apartment. You pay rent based on your income. And they have up to four bedrooms!
So I'm hoping and praying that mom gets this job, because we are all so sick of living with Grandma. Love her to death, but I'm going to lose the mind I do have left! AHHHHH!
Not to mention I really want a bedroom of my own before I start School in the fall.

*sigh*

So hows everyone else doing lately? =)

Grace: I'm so glad you got the socks. I couldn't help but get green! Thats like the coolest color in the world! Green to me, stands out in the store! lol. And now its fall and green is coming out alot!
If only I had money... hehehe.

Asta La Vista Baby! ;)

Drugs, and School. Life is complete.

2006-04-27T10:35:00.000-07:00

Hey guys.
I visited the clinic the other day, and the doctor
diagnosed me with TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint) Disorder.
And then presribed me a medication called Valium. Its very strong
and used to relieve anxiety, nervousness, and tension associated
with anxiety disorders. It is also used to treat certain types of
seizure disorders and muscle spasms.
TMJ Disorder is not treatable, more or less you just have to live
with it... =(.
I took the medication for the first time yesterday around 3:30 pm.
Its now 12:39 pm the next day and it still hasn't worn off.
I'm suppose to take another one, but it will then really knock me out
and I can't afford that today... Because today I get to meet my teacher
at Vo-Tech!
Yeppers! Thats right! So I have to be all together when that happens. =)
Yeah I can hear it now... "Whats wrong with your daughter?"
"Oh nothing she is just on drugs. Valium actually." =)
I might get a few wierd looks ya think? hehehehe.
I slept good... my jaw still hasn't opened up yet though.
But for a muscle relaxer it sure does work hahaha... Because I'm definatly
out of it for sure.
My joints are actually really weak. Which is also a sideeffect for this drug.

Yeah I am really excited about meeting my teacher today. I don't know
what all I'll be seeing today, but I can't wait. I'm still somewhat nervous.

So what did you think about my title? Hope I didn't worry you to much. =D

Well I'm not sure right now what else to write. So I'm gonna get while I can. =)

Asta La vista Baby!

2006-04-07T07:26:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone!
Today my cousin Jonathan came and picked me up from about 45 minutes away from me, so we could take the ,T.A.B.E. Test together to get into Central Vo-Tech in Drumright, Ok.
I was retesting just to see if I could get my grade a little higher.
Thank God I'm sanctified, because I definatly got angry when they told me, "Because I'm retesting I have to reschedule again, because I can't take the same test over." I understood that, but I've been waiting a month to take this test! So to make a long story short, the grade really doesn't mean anything, so I went and I called my mom, (about 2 minutes away) and asked her to come get me, told her why, I was so mad! The call dropped, and I was like okay well she will call me back here in a little while. So i sat there in the lobby waiting for her to come and get me, when Chet (The guy who choses who gets into what class) came out and sat in front of me, and told me this,

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm sending out letters today to all of the school counselers in the state. And next week I'm sending out letters to the adults and homeschoolers who got into their classes. I wanted tot ell you since your here, that you have a slot in the Graphic Designs class that you wanted, and I'll be sending you the letter next week."

I wanted to cry because I was so mad at the secretary, lol. I was so mad. I could have already retested but no they didn't share with me that information. I prayer before I went I said, "God please help me to do better than last time, I really want to get into this school"

I believe the Lord fixed it where I don't have to take the test again, and I believe he touched Chets heart to going ahead and letting me in, and letting me know ahead of time!

I just want to take a little time right now and say thank you Lord, For all you've done for me!

He is so great!

They are called Yorkiepoo's. A cross between a Yorkshire Terrier, and a poodle.

Biggest: Charlie Brown
WHY? Because he is brown and black... He has brown on his legs and on his tail and by his mouth.
Middle: John Boy
WHY? Because I couldn't think of a name and then I said, Oh forget it and I went and layed down and then I said, "Goodnight scooter, goodnight Charlie Brown... and then out came, Goodnight John Boy. lol ;)
Runt: Scooter
WHY? Because he lopves to crawl around place, He is constantly moving and doing something.

Sign On My Back????

2006-03-02T18:02:00.000-08:00

Why is it that the majority of guys that have ever liked me, are all younger than me? I'm mean come on! Is there like some sort of sign on my back saying, "I weirdly attract younger guys." ???
Yeah I counted it up the other night... Seven boys I guess I should say that are all younger than me who like me... and only 3 that are older (that I know of) who like me... But One of them is now just my best friend, and the other two are obsessed over me, and well thats just freaky. They scare me. Seriously!
<-- Everyone like my teddy bears I found online? Aren't they just so adorable? Yeah they are so precious.
Now that my photo blog works... I can now show you all my 16th birthday cookie. Yes thats chocolate on the top! With of course GREEN icing. Thanks MOM! =) I love green, and chocolate. *smiles* Can't you tell? lol. Yes green is definatly my thing. As well as chocolate.

I like pictures too. As you all can most definatly see. =) Nah, I downloaded the HELLO thing... and I've been posting pictures like a monkey eats bananas! *sigh*

So Paul, You did say that you knew some guys? LOL As you can see I have a very interesting uhh well problem I guess you can call it. Preferably older than me is more what I'm looking for. HAHAHA! I shouldn't be too hard to match up... Grace and I are alot alike... thats why we get along so well all the time ;). Love ya girlie.
I'm just joking around though.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

750 piece puzzle I completed along with Grandma, and Momma.

2006-02-19T08:47:00.000-08:00

Another agrivating 1000 peice puzzle that we completed the other day. It had a painted like texture to it, which made it very difficult to do. But its called, "Bears and Hot Chocolate."

2006-02-19T08:46:00.001-08:00

Here lies frosty. *smiles*

Me and My Basic Edamacation =)

2006-02-17T14:21:00.000-08:00

Hey you guys.
Took the test this morning. I feel confident that I did good.
Now whats left is interveiwing with the recruiter guy (theres a name for him I just can't think of it) but his name is Chet. (weird name huh?) *smiles*
He will interview me for the class I'll be taking. Which hopefully and prayerfully will be the class that I want, which is Graphic Design. I was told today that it is a very difficult class to get into. So I'm really going to be praying between now and then that I get into this class. Because thats what I want.
The test seemed to be easier than I thought it would be. I'm so tired. lol.
I'll get my test score back Tuesday, or early Wednesday.
I'll be sure to post how good I did or didn't do. *smiles*

I had a good instructor, Mrs. Lambert.
There was 4 other girls in the class room taking the test as well.
Just us girls.
Thanks for your prayers. I ask that youdo continue to pray for me.
It was so weird to be in a school setting again. But it just felt so natural to me.
Alot of the people around the school are my age, and really preppy and prissy and the guys that are really stupid that think they are cool when they really aren't. Yeah a few those too.
I just don't get along with those sort of people very well. They get on my nerves.

Well I suppose I'll end my chatting now.
Go finish the 1000 peice puzzle. Its quite difficult.

hasta luego.

~Denise~

And Life Continues...

2006-02-11T17:14:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone. Well I'm in Oklahoma now. Yeah...I've been here for a while. We just got our internet here at Grandma's house. I'm so glad too! *smiles* Momma is making dinner in the other room. Matthew is on the PC. Grandma is watching TV. Daddy is at his second day of work. And I'm sitting here writting on my blog.
I'm not so sure what to say. My mind has been drawing nothing but blanks since Tuesday.
I guess right now i'm still just so dazed. Kind of stuck in a bubble, while everything else around me continues to go on. There was a chance that Colby got things right with God. It turns out that the driver tried to revive him. So in those few moments he could have asked the lord to forgive him. So that gives me somewhat relief. even though I really don't want him to be gone.
His funeral was yesterday Afternoon.
I'm trying to go on with life... But its hard. It will all go back to normal here soon. Around the time he died Tuesday... I was in here on the PC listening to worship music, just praising the Lord. Really enjoying spending time with him. It was great. I guess everytime something goes good for us something bad always happens. I know that seems kind of awkward but I've almost talked myself into it being true.
I don't know.

Well... Momma needs me to come and help her out with dinner.

And so therefore, Life Contintues...

~Denise~

Au revoir!

2006-01-17T11:49:00.000-08:00

An Interesting Song I wrote last night while playing my guitar...

2005-12-08T04:14:00.000-08:00

"Everyday Love" By: Denise Y. Branscum

1) Past time really has me wondering

was it all really true?
I can't begin to think
did I really love you?
But you know my mind can't stop questioning
And I really don't want to bring
My secret thoughts out unto the open floor
of doubt.

C) But its just a feeling
I can push it away
and not even look back
my heart struggles
but it finally goes away
but then I realized
Its an action
that you put forth everyday.
Just not this time baby
That was yesterday.

2) My mind plays tricks on me
tells me one thing then it makes me believe
far out there you are waiting for me
but no, I won't let my mind deceive
You've gone way too far girl
your out of you league
Love has found you But left you in the breeze
Why me, what have I ever done to deserve this?
(chorus)

B) If loves an action that I want to persue
Then why can't my heart get a clue
am I too far gone, am I not strong,
Have I fallen along?
Cause' I'm not getting anywhere lately
I'm beginning to think you hate me.

C) Because its just a feeling
I can push it away
and not even look back
my heart struggles
but it finally goes away
but then I realized
Its an action
that you put forth everyday.
So how about this time baby,
Lets love everyday.

2005-09-13T20:06:00.000-07:00

This is my favorite song in the entire world!
Its so pretty to sing, and the words are wonderful!

FLOWER IN THE RAIN
You are the One; there's no one else
Who lifts me up
And gives me water from the well
But there's a hole
That seems to drain it all away
And once again I'm left in fear and doubt
When all my strength is crying out

CHORUS:
So here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain
Tell me what have I to do
To die and then be raised
To reach beyond the pain
Like a flower in the rain

The evil wind, it blows a storm
To rock my world
Just when I think I'm safe and warm
I'm led astray far too easily
It's always hard for me to say I'm wrong
Until I know I can't go on

CHORUS

Lord, You have searched me
And know when I sleep and when I rise
You're familiar with all my ways
Even the darkness will shine
Like the day
When you look into my heart

CHORUS

Ohh My hand hurts so much. today in school I did so much writting.
Ehh so now my hand hurts badly.

Hey so does Tim Osborne have an E-mail Address? Or anything?
Or is he like... unknown?
Unknown most likely. *smiles*
Nah I'm waiting patiently for a, "I'VE GOT HIS E-MAIL FOR YOU DENISE!"

We are watching Sharks Tale.
I Love this movie! lol.
Moms on the phone with my sister, so the movie is paused.
So thats why I'm posting on my blog.

You know its just a different kind of bored... After you start school its like after your done with your school work... your bored and have nothing to do. Unlike when your out of school then you have an entire day of nothingness!!!!!!!!
Yeah so I'm just rambling on.

Empty spot still... Its really weird.
I don't really understand it.

It wasn't very easy being around Grace and Paul and then My friend Justin and my friend which is his girlfriend Carrie.
And then theres me in the middle with uhhh no body.
Yeah you guys are lucky.
I'll just uhhh stand aside. =)
I'll live and find somebody someday.

Its time for bed says me.
Love Ya guys!

ROY-G-BIV

2005-09-10T13:56:00.000-07:00

Yeah. What a nice little title I have there right?
Don't ask about it, Because I'm just not sure right at this moment why I typed that out.
Let me sit and talk for a lil' bit and perhaps I'll figure that out. ;)

I just got off the phone with my greatest, bestest, wonderfulest, buddy in the entire world!
Yeah thats right. =). hahaha. I just talked to Sean Wantulok.
If you guys ever need a good laugh just call him. =)
Actually on second thought... all his jokes and stupidity are for me. So you can't call him. =)
I'm the only person he carries a picture of around in his wallet now. =)
Yeah. Me in his wallet along with a picture of him when he was 4. =\. I'm not so sure why he carries that around but alright.
He wasn't sure if he should put it in his wallet or not because he said that people might think that i'm his Girlfriend. I told him, "So... is that such a terrible thing?" he said, "No. I guess not. =)"
He's so goofy. We had so much fun talking on the phone. He told me that he thought about calling me. I told him that thinking about it and actually doing it are two different things my friend.
He said well you should at least be happy I thought about it. =) goof.

Yeah so it looks like we will be calling each other on the weekends alot. Which I'm really excited about because we are the best of friends, and some people actually think he likes me more than a friend. He might... but I don't know i guess he just hasn't said anything about it to me. So I'll be quiet about it for now.

Sara's new baby neice's middle name is Elizabeth...
my neices name, You know... the baby that isn't born yet? Well her middle name is going to be Elizabeth as well!
Its really funny because...
Her first name is going to be Chloe.
and Tammy use to have a dog named chloe. hahaha
but the funny part is Tammy also use to have a dog named Riley!
Isn't that funny? yeah well anyways.

I'm starving! When I was talking to Sean... he was saying how he was hungry and stuff so he went and made him a hotdog. And he had some chips and a drink. And that made me really hungry with him eating his food in my ear! Yeah that was kind of sick... But it was a funny thing to laugh about.
We really didn't talk about anything important. Except how we both wish we could hang out with each other right about now.
Its truly sad. =( *sniff sniff* )=

I could really go for an all girls night with my sister, gracie, sarah m., umm, Jenn, megan m., and uhhh other girls lol. I'm not sure who else. =)
We can sit around and watch chick flicks, and just chat about everything!

You know, Ever since I accepted my calling into the ministry at the Assembly VLB night alter call service... I just feel like somethings missing. More or less like someone. But I'm just not sure.
It's weird. =\.
But everythings different. I mean I feel different. I feel more complete. but yet I feel theres something missing. And that I really need to find whatever that is. I'm praying about it alot.
I just can't seem to be the puzzle peices together quite yet.
Oh well... whatever it is, It will come in due time.

I wish next summer I could go and stay with Grace... or my sister... or someone. Anyone! I just need to get out of Georgia! Its so flat and ugly here lol. Too many Pine trees! no hills or mountains.
Blah its just boring land.

Having been born in Vancouver, Washington... and coming down here... its just a big change.
Like my ROY-G-BIV?
Very entertaining isn't it? ;)

R
O
Y

G

B
I
V
Nice ehh?

Yeah I think so. =)
Well I'll be quiet now.

OH YEAH! One more thing...
Isaiah, I got your e-mail... ummm I hope you find that contact information for me. *smiles*
It would be wonderful.
Perhaps Micah, or josh have it as well? Thats what Gracie said could be possible.

Alrighty then. Thanks bunches!

I was wondering if anyone could get me some contact information?
For Tim Osborne?
Yeah... dummy here didn't even think about it until after I spoke with him.
Okay so I have a bad memory problem while I'm talking to people! So what! ;)

If someone could possibly get that information for me It would help me alot.
You know things like...

At The Assembly!!!!

2005-09-01T19:24:00.000-07:00

Yeah thats right! I'm finally here at the General Assembly. I'm in the hotel room on the laptop.
Service was good tonight.
The altar was full tonight.

I was sitting up in one of the box sections with a Friend of mine and behind us was four teenagers... And all of a sudden this guy comes running up preaching to these boys! Yeah! I and my friend just sat there for the longest time listening.
It was very neat though. He was very outgoing for the Lord.

My Neice Lydia... is very attached to me. lol!I can't walk aorund her without her seeing me and crying for me! Its very cool! Sometimes quite annoying when i'm trying to accomplish a task.

A guy came up to me this afternoon and spoke to me in spanish... he said, " How are You?"
I wasn't sure if he was talking to me or not hahaha i was just walking by.
So anyways... I said Oh me? I'm good I'm good. he goes no thats when you say uhh well Good in spanish i'm not sure how to spell it quite yet so haha lol.

Okay Okay... Jacob Shuler is so much better than me on the guitar that I am!
He's a way better picker than myself.
Its awesome.

Tomorrow my friend Justin Willit will be arriving. I have to say that I am excited to see him again.
Theres a guy staying here at Microtel that somehow he seems to know me obviously... He kept laughing at me making stupid remarks towards my little brother, And then during the afternoon session, he walked by me and asked, 'Aren't you hot in that leather Jacket?"
LOL But We walked by each other so fast that I thought He said, " You look hot in that leather jacket!" lol I can't wait to tell gracie that one. ;)
But The reason I know he didn't say that is because I turned around and said, "Pardon?"
I don't know his name though... I'll have to ask him tomorrow morning at breakfast if he is there.

Well I'm gonna go check out some other things online.
So that I can go to sleep and see everyone at the assembly again tomorrow.

~KEEP IT REAL~

You guys... I for now on will never enter any car without a cell phone...
I was just gonna go sit wiht the door open in the 91' mustang that belonged to my brother...
Well the right door is locked and can't be unlocked... and its electric windows soooo ... and the battery is dead and I had no keys with me... Matthew Climbed in with me. I was in the drivers seat... Well the left door if you close it it can only be opened from the outside! I forgot about that! So there are these hornets inside the driver side mirror... and two try and come in so I shut the door.. WHITHOUT THINKING!!!!!!!!!!!! and so its around 90o outside... and me and my brother are locked inside this car... Mom and dad are inside talking.
I don't realize that we can't get out yet.. we are just sitting there watching these hornets go into the mirror... and i was like okay ther are in on the count of three I will open the door and we will run out! 1...2...3... click.. click... UHHHH MATTHEW!!!!!!!!!!! THIS STUPID DOOR ONLY OPENS FROM THE OUTSIDE!!!!!!!! uhhhh yeah.. So matthew is all calm... grabs the pliars in the back seat and starts trying to get the other door to unlock... and me i'm all panicing and junk!

I over here crying and banging on the window hoping dad and mom would hear me!
Make a long story short... mom fianlly came looking for matthew and me in our rooms but we weren't in the house! So dad hears this pounding they run outside to unlock the car and let us out.
I shook for the longest time... and later we went to bus tables at the pizza place and i was like sick from the heat from that car...

what a sweet song...sniff sniff

2005-08-23T09:48:00.000-07:00

I know you’ve heard the stories
But they all sound too good to be true
You’ve heard about a place called home
But there doesn’t seem to be one for you
So one more night you cry yourself to sleep
And drift off to a distant dream

Where love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in

And somewhere while you’re sleeping
Someone else is dreaming too
Counting down the days until
They hold you close and say I love you
And like the rain that falls into the sea
In a moment what has been is lost in what will be

When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart

And this love will never let you go
There is nothing that could ever cause this love to lose its hold

When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in it takes you in for good
When love takes you in

The Heart

2005-08-21T03:23:00.000-07:00

The Heart

"Tomorrow morning," the surgeon began,

"I'll open up your heart..."
"You'll find Jesus there," the boy
interrupted.
The surgeon looked up, annoyed "I'll
cut your heart open," he continued,
to see how much damage has been
done.."
"But when you open up my heart, you'll
find Jesus in there," said the boy.
The surgeon looked to the parents, who
Sat quietly. "When I see how much
damage has been done, I'll sew your
heart and chest back up, and I'll plan
what to do next."
"But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The
Bible says He lives there. The
hymns all say He lives there. You'll
find Him in my heart."
The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell
you what I'll find in your heart.
I'll find damaged muscle, low blood
supply, and weakened vessels.
And I'll find out if I can make you well."
"You'll find Jesus there too. He lives
there."
The surgeon left.
The surgeon sat in his office, recording his
notes from the surgery, "...damaged aorta, damaged
pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration.
No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy:
painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis:, "
here he paused, "death within one year."
He stopped the recorder, but there was
more to be said. "Why?" he asked aloud.
"Why did You do this? You've put
him here; You've put him in this pain; and
You've cursed him to an early death. Why?"
The Lord answered and said, "The boy,
My lamb, was not meant for your
flock for long, for he is a part of My
flock, and will forever be.
Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and
will be comforted as you cannot imagine.
His parents will one day join him here,
and they will know peace, and
My flock will continue to grow."
The surgeon's tears were hot, but his
anger was hotter. "You created that
boy, and You created that heart. He'll
be dead in months. Why?"
The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb,
shall return to My flock, for He has
Done his duty: I did not put My lamb
with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve
another
lost lamb."
The surgeon wept.. The surgeon sat
beside the boy's bed; the boy's
parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and
whispered, "Did you cut open my heart?"
"Yes," said the surgeon.
"What did you find?" asked the boy.
"I found Jesus there," said the
surgeon.

O, The Inner Excitement!

2005-08-20T09:34:00.000-07:00

I cannot hold back all the excitement I have.
I can't wait to see everyone.
But I need you guys to do something for me....
I'd Really like to be there from the very begining and through till the end of the assembly.
If your able I ask that you fast and pray everyday with me until the assembly... for my family.
Now I know everyone seems to be having money issues before the assembly.
This is why I know the lord is going to do something very mighty at the General Assembly. Because the devil is fighting very hard.
But If you decide too remember Fasting is to humble yourselves before the Lord.
If you will for my family I will for yours to be able to come.
I know it wouldn't kill me not to be at the assembly... but I'd rather not miss it.
I'll just tell you... we got our money in but the check wasn't what we expected... we are way behind on bills very important bills... and We just really need a miracle right now.. Otherwise... We won't be going to the assembly.
I really hate to say that... but thats the truth.

I love You guys and I really want to see you all..

Always,

~Denise~

2005-08-19T08:11:00.000-07:00

Even though I do not like to read... My favorite writter is Frank Peretti.
Right now i'm reading "Peircing the Darkness"
