And I'm what?

SO, It is 3 hours until the wedding. How am I on a computer??? Kara and I were sent on the mission to find Son a spinich-mushroom melt for her final lunch as a single lady. Lucky us, it's in an internet cafe. It's crazy, Kar and i are all done up w/ makeup, hair- including orange orchids!, fingers, toes.... and we don't stick out at all walkin around Lahaina. What a place. I will TOTALLY have to post shots of the hair. half up and curly. I really really enjoy being a girl sometimes.

Like I said before- stories and pics. to come, but probably not for a while. sick w/ me!!!

VERSE:
"Worry not about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of its own."
Matt. 6:36 (I think...)

May the Lord bless my sister to the fullest measure EVER!

Be Patient



I'll post something good eventually.
Here's a preview of what's to come:

This is the yard of our little Hawaiian community. Both Tim and Son's families and some friends are here, so we can just wander around and be entertained!!!! Not much for privacy, but who needs alone time anyway, eh?

I have yet to be inspired for a verse, but I am building up to one anyways.
John 15:12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."
Can't ever go wrong with this one!



By the way- the comment thing should be working now...

last minute thoughts



Okay, I really really need to be sleeping. I just had to say something more, and i love Garfield. This one's cute, but i really gotta find some of my favorites to post for y'all. Or far side. yeah.

Have I mentioned tonight's Alter yet? good stuff. It was all about dating, and the main verse used was:
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people." Eph. 5:3 We are just bombarded ideas from the world- concerning sex in particular. Rather than going into it (since Adam did a fine job covering it tonight and i'm not keen on paraphrasing right now), I'll add a favorite verse of mine to the one above:

"I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the does of the field, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases." Song of Solomon 3: 5

There is a famous video series that goes thru "Song." An analogy used in the series is that love is like a fire. In a beautiful woodstove, it brings warmth comfort and romance. But if set openly in the middle of the same room, it would burn the house down. I'll let you make the connections... i'm goin to bed!

!!! HAWAII TOMORROW!!!! well. actually "HAWAII TODAY!!!" heaps cool


'K. Deal is, i have been forbidden to post self photos. well, any people photos w/ out consent, for that matter. This is from the one who cooks me dinner and that sort of thing, so i'm cool with respecting that. However, I love pictures. I do. SO, I'm going to add some, but they are discreet, so it's cool...
speaking of "cool" I actually really like Gwen Stefani's song "cool". And Weezer's newest. Perhaps not as uplifting as Jars of Clay, for example, but quality none the less. "...beverly hills, that's where i want to be... livin in beverly hills. " Seriously, though- how in depth and moving is that! erf

Okay, moving on. The photo is myself (maid-of-honor this coming Sat!!!) and a groomsman (best man? i think sooo) chillin' in the villiage in New York. Several top experiences from this trip:
1. Son has 3 brides maids, her two sisters (myself and Kara) and her goood friend Sholeh, whom she met at FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise) in LA. Well. We're browsing Greenwich Villiage, NY, and We FIND Clothes Designed by Sholeh in a cute lil botique!! we then got all teary-eyed with "happy" and moved on before we blubbered.

2. Found our way into a full-on Korean kareoke bar. did i spell that right? anyways, songs are all asian, words are all in korean characters. sweet. so our hero Tim finagles our way into a private room- private tv w/ our own clicker to program whatever songs we want. ect. even some room to Line Dance baby. we went all out at that point. My fav. song (oh yea, they did have english for us) was Sweet Caroline.

3. playing w/ my camara! You remember the children's story, the little red lighthouse and the great grey bridge? Look:
Those are them! Really! The characters of the book alive and in person!

4. "highlight" is a happy thing, but I'm ending on a somber note. Ground zero. Matt (fella from photo above) and i found our way to some coffee on the last morning there, and then strolled slowly to the crater. there's a timeline of the day, pictures of the scenes, names, memorials. I never realized how truly patriotic I am, but i was shaken. ~cross constructed out of tower rubble
