wow-the crutches clip is great, justin! i can't wait to see it! to those of you who haven't checked out the clip for justin's new short, do so!
i also can't wait for christopher guest's "a mighty wind". i searched for it on google and didn't pay attention, but the first link it lead to was a funny end times prophetic messianic jew website with all these flames and stuff. it was hilarious because for a minute i was like, wait, where's christoper guest?

best blog quote of the week from mary, which made me feel overwhelmed with God:
"THE LORD! THE King of the heavens before there was time! Bow down mare! Just let it roll off and bow down to Me! Wow, I love God! To see His face after the earth....whoa that alone to fuel the day..." it did fuel my day, so thank you...

also, i've been so into the song, hungry, a vineyard worship song. it's just blowing me away right now...

hungry
i come to you
for i know you satisfy
i am empty but i know
your love does not run dry

and so i wait for you
so i wait for you

i'm falling on my knees
offering all of me
jesus you're all this heart is living for

broken
i run to you
for your arms are open wide
i am weary but i know
your touch restores life

so i wait for you
so i wait for you

i'm falling on my knees
offering all of me
jesus you're all this heart is living for

how in the world is this the last day of february???
time is truly flying!!!

matt and i went to see juliana theory and something corporate last night (i was actually sort of dreading it since juliana's new album is so unbelievably sub par metallica!) however, they put on a pretty good show (boring set, though) and something corporate actually majorly EXCEEEDED my expectations!!! those guys were great and sort of had ben folds vibe with the piano scene. but so solid and great stage presence!!!

i had a good week-very busy-and obtained some fun quotes from the kiddos (i never even remember 90% of the hilariousness that i hear everyday, so here's just a few)!

the most fun time was when i was in a first grade classroom, sitting on the floor with the kids during their spanish lesson (at one of my schools, they get spanish every day for 30 minutes!). i was doing some in-class therapy with a hearing impaired child but sitting at the back of the group with some other kids. at one point, a little girl said, "do you have gum in your mouth?" and i said, "yes", because i knew she had already seen it. and instantly i had the attention of 3 other kids--"you're not allowed to have gum in school!" and usually at this point i say something about kids not being allowed, but i'm an adult and all that stuff that used to make me mad when i was a kid. however, this time i paused, they were watching and waiting, and i put my finger to my lips and smiled and said, "shhhh! i know. don't tell your teacher or i'll be in big trouble!" and they all started giggling and turned back to their activitiy. except one cute little blond peanut who i see for speech, who grinned and said, "it'th gonna cothst you a thsticker!" so i took the deal. what else could i do? it was my reputation on the line, people!!!

best quote from a kindergartener this week:
"where do you sleeep?", while looking around my therapy room, searching for a bed.

we're going out for mexican tonight with our friends marni and ed but no other big plans for the weekend. it's been raining off and on for the past few days, but i won't complain, considering the plight of my poor friends and relatives in ohio (i don' think i've slammed it lately, either!). maybe you guys need a vacation in san diego!
welp i'm done for now.
chow. (yes, i know that's not the correct spelling, but i like this spelling better!)

oops, didn't check my spelling the first time around--kerouac, i mean!
anyways, another monday down.
yesterday was a marathon day of watching reality tv and i'm done for a long time--really sick of it. but i need to veg out every once in awhile...

nothing much new to say today but was reading a good word about worry and anxiety...

so do not worry or be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. sufficient for each day is its own trouble. matthew 6:34
the book i'm reading, "the battlefield of the mind", brought in the verse in john 10:10, that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy---ie, in the situation of worry and anxiety: stealing your time and energy, killing your joy, and destroying your peace of mind. when i think about it in this way, it totally makes me want to fight against worry! i can choose to not accept a worrisome thought that will take up even a minute of my life, much less allow it to dominate my thoughts. besides, as the scripture says, there's enough trouble in each day as it is--if we add to it, it's our own choice (and our own fault!).
the end
