Jeremiah 23:23: "Am I god only when near," asks Adonai, "And not when far away?"
Elohei Mikkarov - God who is near
Elohei Merachok - God who is far
Psalm 109:1 "God, whom I praise, don't remain silent!"
Elohei Tehillati - God of my praise
Elohim Chayim The LIVING God (Deut 5:26; Ps 42:2, 84:2, etc)
Elohei HaChayim - God of the living (Mark 12:27)
Tsaddik means "just, righteous"
El Tsaddik - Isaiah 45:21
El Shaddai - the all-sufficient God
Gen 17:1 "I am El Shaddai: walk before me and be perfect"
Psalm 22:10, Psalm 91:1
Yeshua means "Salvation"
"Same power that conquered the grave lives in me, lives in me, your love that rescued the earth lives in me, lives in me." - Hillsong
- evidence that we are MORE than conquerors through Yeshua...He IS our salvation. Death has no sting and grave no victory. We ARE ALREADY victorious in Adonai!!!
I can't write all this down...go here. read this. it's ridiculously good.
here here here
ahhhhhhh I have lost ALL OF MY SOCKS!!!!

It's official
No discount on the Beth Moore Patriarchs books, but that's okay. Adonai has worked this all out so far. I trust Him with the rest. :)
Going home is so much fun. I enjoy spending time with Hanah and y family and friends so much. It's grand. Cai, new friend, was great. He's not a new friend though. He knows so much about me already because of our obnoxiously long facebook message started about three years ago! hahaha We are crazy indeed.
Zach's last regular season game was Friday night - they won.
The boys of COH played at the 567 Friday night and did such a wonderful job. They have an anointing for worship. It was incredible. I can't wait to hear them play more!!! Saturday's service was grand. :) Worship was grand - Damien has a way of putting the songs together that just makes the whole experience phenomenal. I got to see my Amen Sista - Jenn!! TOO much fun...definitely missed her a lot! There were lots of faces there. It was so good to see so many people there to worship the Lord! Nan does so well with the kids too. They love her. :) The little girls did a dance that was absolutely beautiful and practically had me in tears. It was all about their worth in the Lord....and how he actively pursues them. It was just beautiful. Game night Saturday night was fantastical as well. We watched Medea's Family Reunion and it cracked me up, made me angry, and almost had me in tears. I guess that's a sign of a good movie......but at the same time it was a little slow and annoying.
Waking up so early to come back to school was gross. I wish I could've slept the whole day- which I did when I got here. A 4 hour nap was necessary.
I want to go to Israel. I want to learn Hebrew. I want to spend all of my time just researching and learning and doing.
I wonder if I can study abroad in Jerusalem....that would be exciting.
my headache and stomach ache are on and off. I wish they would both go away.
I have an essay to write! The superbowl is on!
I love that Adonai assures us that our walk with Him will not be easy, but regardless, He has provided an escape and THE Way to make it through. We must trust and inevitably we will feel like we're walking on nothing, but truth is we are walking on the most solid, holy ground.
He told Moses to take his sandals off...he was walking on holy ground in the presence of Adonai.

withdrawals
things I'm learning:
1. I did not watch enough barney as a child - I have the hardest time sharing my friends.
2. I am selfish.
3. I easily get upset with those who monopolize the time of people that I want to be with.
4. There was a penguin on my head a few minutes ago.
5. Wind makes people sneeze - I'm convinced.
6. I really want to squish Rome and Macon together into one big city with all the people
7. I really need some coffee from Quincee at The Nest (thenestcoffee.com)
8. Money is such an annoying thing.
9. You can't get the member books for The Patriarchs study by Beth Moore ANYWHERE...and I need them for my Bible study
10. Citizens of Heaven (http://myspace.com/citizensofheavenband) was fantastic tonight at the 567 Cafe in Macon. I'm so proud of the boys :)
11. Shabbat will be so much fun in the morning. I WILL be there.
12. I am so blessed...with so many friends that I love. God is so good to me. wow.

Fri...I mean, Thursday
College is grand.
College is great.
God is doing great things here in my life.
BUT
I get to go home this weekend. =)
Today has been much better than yesterday when it comes to stomach pains. My friend Hannah likes to sing the 'Mi shebeirach' while she's on the phone with me because my dear roommate is sickly - but I think it's just a prayer of healing over this whole room! The Lord works in grand ways.
The weather is wet, but God's glory still shines on these 26,000 acres. I am HOPING to start my Beth Moore study next Wednesday night with some girls here on campus. Jeanenne, a friend of mine here who is also the assistant for Josh Roberts, the pastor at Connect Rome, has to get back to me about getting a few more people to come. My only worry is the books. I don't know anywhere around Rome where the girls can get them and Amazon takes at least a few days. The nearest LifeWay is in Kennesaw, but there's a Christian bookstore in Cartersville that carries them...I just need to check with Lifeway and see if they will give me a discount for buying 10 or 15 of them. I am praying so hard that this Bible Study works out. You guys have no idea. I just want so much to do this with some girls. My heart is in it.
I am so excited about my church up here - Connect Rome. The entire staff and the whole congregation have such hearts to serve the Lord. It's incredible and such a blessing to know them. Check out Josh's blog HERE I promise it will rock your socks.
I'll be missing it this Sunday morning because I'll be home and that almost kills me, but I'm stoked to go see my friends and family at home.
Cai is coming tonight around 8 from West Virginia to pick me up on his way down. Then I will be spending the weekend with him, the Butlers, and my beautiful best friend, Nan. It will be a fun, yet FILLED, weekend. =) Here's a rundown from now until I come back up Sunday.
5 to 6 - relay for life committee meeting [which reminds me go here to donate!!!]
6 to 7 - food with Juli and Jeremy
7:30 - leave to meet Cai with Jeremy
8:30 - leave with Cai for Middle Georgia!
10:30 - arrive at Nan's
sleep at some point
Friday:
-home until around 2:30 to see Mom and Riley
-to Warner Robins to grab Nan from her work
-CoH at the 567 in Macon!!! can't wait to see these boys perform!
-Zach's basketball game in Macon [at the same time might I add]
-probable chillage with said Butlers
Saturday:

-nommage aka lunch

RAWR said my tum
The rain has been nasty, but it puts me in the mood to paint since I can't do much else. I need to catch up on my reading for Austen, though. That's definitely important.
But besides that school stuff, I painted a picture for Mrs Cheryl! It's a tree - probably the best tree I've ever done. I really like it. Not even kidding, when I finish a painting and look at it, I wonder who painted it. I know there's no way it came from these two hands!!
I'm trying to think what to paint on Hannah's, but I really don't know....it will take some prayer.
I need to get a baby canvas and paint it black.....for Mr. Keith...it will be a ninja painting. =D
Today I am sick....sick of cramps and sickly wanting to be home already. This weekend seemed like winter break again...I tell you, it's that dang Excursion! So much happens in it.
I miss all those people.

connect-the-dots
Do you guys remember those pictures in coloring books or that you'd get in elementary school where there were parts of the picture you could see...but for the rest of it, there were dots with numbers?....You had to draw a line connecting consecutive dots to finalize the outline of the picture.
I spent three hours this morning connecting spiritual dots from verse to verse to passage to verse to verse to longer passage to fact to faith to belief.
Connecting the dots was never more fun - I feel like an elementary school kid..but in the best kind of school. =)

quickie
This weekend has been a rush so I'll only recap the main points, if I can help it, then tell you some exciting news that came up tonight...then this child has GOT to go to bed - no more late night mochas for me!
Friday I left in a rush to get from Rome to Locust Grove, just south of Atlanta, to meet some beautiful dears of mine - the Butlers and my Hannah! I got there a bit early and managed to spend two hours meandering around Tanger Outlet - not something that happens on a regular basis...I honestly can't remember the last time I was there. It was probably before Old Navy was invented, no kidding. I stood outside my car clutching my few belongings for the weekend and some BK, topped by a black hat, when my carriage arrived - big black Excursion full of funny people. They laughed at my self-proclamation of being a homeless person in the parking lot. We made our way to Carrolton in the rain for Zach's game and arrived just in time for the last quarter - long enough to see him play and wonder about some of the parents there. Oh, and congratulations to Strong Rock for their accreditation - sorry we forgot to clap while we were there...#12 on the girls made us not want to anymore! Post game = DQ for RedBeard's birthday nommage. Nan and I managed to get a discount, the place was all decorated with streamers (for Seth's birthday, not valentine's day of course), we got a huge knife to cut his cake-log, and the people even came JUST to sing happy birthday - how cool was THAT?!
Song of the evening: "Restoration" ... unfortunately, I don't know who it's by.
Saturday....I'm still upset about Saturday morning. Me and that punk, Satan, are seriously not friends. My stomach started hurting Saturday morning. Hannah told me later that she knew it would happen. That made me feel twice as defeated as before, but I feel like the Lord worked in the situation anyway - I was able to get the "Patriarchs" study of Beth Moore's from my mom...which will play a HUGE role in a minute. Mom took me to Mactown to meet with the B's at Zaxby's...and we made our way back to Locust Grove for Zach's next game. - it was grand. Nan planned out all the volunteer work they'll be doing - what an incredible inspiration to watch! WOW! And we cheered Covenant to a victory...with some pretty nasty coffee.
Wait...am I getting my schools mixed up? I don't remember who we played other than SR, I just know there were two games....great!! I think Strong Rock was SATURDAY and Friday night was some other random place. They spelled Senior wrong on their sign so that's probably why I don't remember them.
ANYWAY, we then returned to Tanger and shopped like maniacs for a minute - Banana Republic is so expensive, even on sale. The Bible Outlet no longer exists - sad panda! But Kirklands has this beautiful picture of a tree that I just about fell in the floor over. I just about tripped over my jaw - it's a good thing I managed to control myself...there's so much breakable stuff in that store! The kind where mom would tell me to "put my hands in my pockets and do not touch ANYTHING." After getting picked up by Sensei Keith, we nommed chocolate and made our way to the IMAX where the kids got tickets for Avatar. After realizing that TGI Fridays was too full of ghetto furry boots, we decided on Moe's. I had to order for Nan AND me - she had to run to Sally's for hair dye - but I've never enjoyed Moe's more! The conversation is probably what did it...and the lack of huge bumps afterward - JENNIFER PARR AND JESSIE FAULHABER! =P The end of Moe's was such a sad feeling. I knew I'd have to leave. There were a few prolonged goodbyes, but of course my friends had to get into the movie. Red Beard was NOT going to miss his birthday present, and what a good one..or so I've heard! The drive to Rome was uneventful, but a praise: Ben didn't act dumb about shifting when going up hill!! GLORY TO GOD! He can even heal cars!! Not just people. :)
Today was grand- Jules picked me up for church around 9:30 and we rocked out to some Phil Whickham [well, not HIM, but his music] and received such an incredible message from Josh about SERVING and giving ALL to the Lord! Romans 12:1-2. It definitely hit home for me and confirmed in me so many things!!
The cool stuff starts after that - I came back and did a lot of talking with Hannah, thinking, praying, and planning. And the Lord has just worked so much out - I am 99% positive I will be starting a Bible study for some of the girls here on Wednesday nights!!!!!!!!! See - my getting Patriarchs from mom was just DIVINE! TAKE THAT SATAN! Even when you think ya got me, HE MAKES IT WORK FOR HIS GLORY!!! YOU HAVE NO FOOTHOLD!!
I have been painting and working out details with that tonight, as well as meeting with a few kiddies from Relay about tomorrow night's meeting. My weeks are only getting busier, and here I sit unable to go asleep because I decided to buy a white chocolate mocha at 8:30 at night...and I am just all excited inside about what the Lord has planned. I don't know what it is, but freedom in HIM is so much better than captivity and bondage in my sins! I don't have to know what's coming next - I trust HIM to make it work!
"We know where the Spirit of the Lord is - where the Spirit of the Lord is there is LIBERTY!" hallelujah - can't wait for Awakening (Passion 2010) to come out in March! The songs are written on my heart!
Alright, I will leave you with a two-liner that I wrote after service this morning. It's almost a combination of two songs, but it is so much my heart right now! God bless all of you in this upcoming week. I pray He renovates your lives and turns you to Him! May you taste and see that He is gracious and joy in His infinite glory!!
I will abandon my heart for you
I will run and chase after you
and desire no other escape
