why not...

let's get some pictures one here.
you'll all find out soon enough, anyway.

being still and quiet.

so at church last night we were talking about spiritual maturity. and one of the recommendations as to how to attain this maturity was to spend time in silence. and everyone was talking about how hard it is for them. and i just wanted everyone to know that it is not hard for me. i thoroughly enjoy a good sitting. and thinking. however, i don't think there is a direct correlation between these sittings and spiritual maturity. therefore i think there must be some other element to maturity than silence. and i know that "being still and knowing that He is God" is different than sitting in silence. i wasn't really trying to make a connection there. i'm still working on the mastery of that discipline. i was just letting the world know that i think i'm ok at sitting. in silence. and not doing. i like the sit. just ask my roommate.

love,
katy

wait.

ok...this might not be that entertaining to anyone else. but we were talking about this like...3 days ago. so i thought i'd share...

let me preface this with the fact that i love my grandma a lot. she's cool. and she didn't write this, so i'm not dissing her at all. but...my granny sends me all kinds of forwarded emails. most of them are either spiritual or political...or both. so today i got this one...it's just a prayer that you pray...and it really wasn't that bad. i was rolling with it...reading through it...and i got to this line. and i chuckled a little. and so...i share with you...

I pray for those that are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. I pray for those that will delete this without sharing it with others I pray for those that don't believe.

yes, people who don't forward this e-mail are in just as much trouble as those are are misjudged, misunderstood, lost and un-believing. hallelujah.

anyway...that's it...hopefully someone that was involved in that conversation will appreciate this email...and my grams.

beach reach

i decided this needed its own post.

on my own merit, i probably would never go on a trip like beach reach. it's seems to me to be a little too "in your face" than what i'm accustomed to. however, it was good. very good. i think i learned a lot. and i don't think it was too "in your face". and i think God was pleased by it. so, i'm glad i trusted the Lord on this one. it blessed me. so...yes. spiritual growth....never easy, but always worth it.

yes. more to come. i'm still processing.

my heart is becoming holey...er

so...my computer crashed. praise Jesus for me getting a new iPod the week before, so i didn't lose all my music. for real, this is a big deal to me. thanks, God.

but...i did lose everything else. and it is taking me forever to get the music from my iPod back to my computer, and i can't figure out where the music is being stored. but...it could be worse.

and...props to the shack for getting my computer back to me 26 hours after i brought it to them. can't complain too much about that...and it's free.

but...it is disappointing. things could be worse. always. but, if i could write my life story, it would not involve a computer crash at any point. or headaches.
