Come

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

-Maya Angelou

"The free bird leaps

on the back of the win
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and is tune is heard
on the distant hillfor the caged bird
sings of freedom

The free bird thinks of another breeze
an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom. "

Freedom House: Come one, come all! Come free birds, COME CAGED BIRDS! Taste and see that the Lord is good. Taste and see freedom. Let us sing together as one. Let us cry out to Jesus.

With LOVE,

Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:17-18

Freedom House

FINALLY!

A year in the making. A year of praying.. seeking... dreaming..waiting..waiting..WAITING. Freedom House is finally in action. Praise God for his every provision. Its been incredible. Stepping out in faith is an incredible experience... a whole life lived by faith rather than sight.. now that would be something.

Anyway..the Lord is good.. and we are here...smack dab in the middle of His plan.. and this is already a blast! The name couldn't be more appropriate already. Its a place of freedom alright.. and we are the first ones being set free.

incredible.

Check the goods: FREEDOM HOUSE.

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen"

Summer 2010

Well as summer has come to a close for me... and as a whole new... INCREDIBLE chapter of life opens up... I just want to take a moment to reflect on this summer.

This summer was.. by far one of the hardest times of my life in every way.. but man was it a shaping summer.

I praise Jesus...because he has taken my naturally lifeless and legalistic heart.. and filled with with grace..with faith..with true desire for HIM. Yet again He has made me reflect him just a little bit more. Most days I am a walking mess.. but as I wrote in Camilles birthday card.. I can see that through all thats happened.. the Lord is turning us into fierce lovers---relentless givers. That is the work of the Holy Spirit ONLY. On my own.. destruction the best I can achieve. I've proven that over and over.... but by the power of Jesus....by the power of the spirit that stole him back from death... by that same power and same spirit that reside INSIDE me.... ohh, by that power and by that spirit .. limits crumble.

Freedom has come. Freedom is now. Freedom is in Jesus.

He is the end all.

(Top 5 summer highlights:

1. My baptism

2. Camille

3. Adorn

4. New prayer life

5. Summer days (beach, hikes, sunshine, Jesus))

there is no simple pleasure i enjoy more than sitting and listening to my dad play guitar. it deeply comforts my soul like almost nothing else on this earth.

Chinface

well. tonight i discovered that a lot of things have chins.. but im pretty sure fleas, worms, and sea anemones do not. you learn something new every day. in pursuit of this information, camille and i come across pure cinematic magic.....

WELL WELL WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well what do you know?!?!? The provisions just keeeeep coming in! God is placing our every step. Along with an apartment to start out in... God is just dropping off everything else on our doorstep. like literally.. random people are asking if anyone we know needs beds.. a homeless friend is giving us a dresser... perfect jobs are popping up... we found an abandoned dining room table and chairs in our parking spot...

faith trumps sight every time; and our God is faithful.

I cant wait to see what God has in store for us.

Like Hippy Like Hippy

Today my mom told me that she was recently talking to her friend from high school and that her friend was like "i swear i always remember we'd be walking home from school or something and it even be pouring rain and you'd still be in your cut off shorts, a halter top, and no shoes..you were always such a hippy." My mom was like..."i started thinking about it.. and she was right.. i never wore shoes.. like ever... it just wasn't important to me. and i realized you are definitely your mothers daughter... soo..... im sorry for all the times ive given you crap about being barefoot and what not."

hahahahhaha. i thought that was sooo funnnnny. as if she owes me an apology or something. what she said is definitely true though.. i look more like my dad...but i am so much like my mom. and i did indeed inherit her little dirty hippy soul haha. theres a few things that we have in common that makes me laugh. one for instance that we alllwaysss talk about is how we absolutely LLLOOOVVEEEE the feeling of the wind blowing in our hair. its seriously like the best feeling ever. we also both alllways have our heads in the clouds. i for one am rarely on planet earth mentally. im pretty sure most of the qualities i make fun of her for i probably share.

thats all.

i love my mom, and im soooo thankful that i have one. especially her.

There is sooo muchhhhhhhh to think about and love and explore and experience in life. You could never get through half of it in a lifetime. I LOVE BEING ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Negev

I absolutely love love love love love love love love lvoe lov elfkjdkfsjkdsjhfskdjfh lvoeeeeee her and can not wait till she has a phone againn. Shout out to the whole waite fam for that matter. I am ALWAYS shown the love of Jesus over and over and over by that family.

I miss my mishpaha so much I just might ...die... of missing. I miss knowing whats going on in everyones life and seeing what God is doing in their hearts. Mostly I miss everyones bright super cute shiny happy faces and their warm hugs. le sigh

I miss Hume too. I didn't get to go once this summer :(

Actually I just realllllllly miss everyone that I dont get to see regularly anymore. Like realllllllly bad. My Hume friends, my pause family, my real family, my cbu friends, my cicf friends, my nas friends... klfjglkdkdsfj missing people hurts.

1 week tilllll..

..schoooooll!!!! idk why but im so excited to be in school again! i love learning. well see how i feel about 17.5 units + a job in like a month..but for now im excited! i feel so privileged to get to go to school.

Fun Week Ahead

Well.. nows when it all comes together. I know God will provide.. He already is. 3 beds w/o asking...summer homes...jobs..church..community... I know a place to live will follow. Im getting excited. Excited for a lot of things... friends, school, another new chapter... I truly love not knowing what lies ahead. Like having no clue what the heck tomorrows gunna bring...and not knowing how anything will come together but simply trusting it will.. i never feel more alive. I love a blank canvas. So many possibilities...a divine plan. Its so free and fun. This life is good. I know i say that from a very privileged place.. but I pray that by the grace of God I will sitll bless his name in the hardest hard ugliest ugly moments of life.

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen."

"Those who know your name will trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you."

....apparently my cat eats green beans... FREAK!

i love things. like....everything. because i love things. hahaha;ldskjf ha. life is fun.

Soul

This is my insides.

Missing

My fav clear glasses, my favorite shirts (rocket scientist one and wolf shirt), 2 fav shorts, and my fav book.

why are all my favorite things gone??

Beaut

When I was closing at work last night, I noticed that a girl left her leftover DELISHHHH salad from Natures by accident.... and I thought to myself... now it wouldn't be right to just let this go to waste!

It was so sweet of her to bring me dinner. Its like she knew exactly what would be my favorite too. Tofu, brown rice, feta cheese, tomatoes... she really didn't have to do that. hahaha. I scored.

Rough Life

Monday I went to my old work and journaled in the perfecccttt weather for like 4 hours. It was magicallll.
