New Haircut!

Don't you just love the feel of freshly cut hair?! I know I do! Way overdue for a cut, so I got one Saturday! Trying to let my hair grow out so that I can donate my hair :) hopefully this fall! Can't wait 

{that's what grace is for}

Is there something in your way?

A battle you can't win?

Do you struggle day to day

With thoughts of giving in?

There's no reason for despair

He has walked this way before

With compassion flowing free,

He's there for you and me

That's what grace is for.

When all hope fades away

And prayers are only words

Just reach out in faith and know

He's already heard

He'll mend your wounded heart

Peace He will restore

His arms are open wide

Walk through mercy's door

That's what grace is for

When the answer just won't come

And your soul cannot be still

When it's all been said and done

Rest in the Father's will

There's a multitude of sins

Covered by the blood that poured

Blood that cleanses every stain

So that none remain

That's what grace is for

When all hope fades away

And prayers are only words

Just reach out in faith and know

He's already heard

He'll mend your wounded heart

Peace He will restore

His arms are open wide

Walk through mercy's door

That's what grace is for

Blondness + School

Not sure how to break this news to you....without putting you in complete shock. I suppose i'll just say it how it is. <breathing hard> here it goes, I sometimes have very blonde moments. Phew! There, I said it! Ok, now that we have that established, i'll tell you the rest of my story. 

Usually when one of those above listed moments happen, they are pretty spread out. Sometimes even by entire DAYS! Shocker huh?! Well, last week at school I had several of them at one time. Craziness! Maybe I shall tell them to y'all in a list form? 

1.) Getting lost. Ok, I know, I know...y'all are thinking "how on earth can she get lost? She lives in FAIRBANKS, ALASKA!". Well, believe it or not I have absolutely NO sense of direction. So lost I was on my way to school. THANKFULLY, I had a life-saving friend with me (yes Crystal, that is you). 

2.) Falling. So after we make it to CTC, we are headed to class which is on the 3rd floor. As were walking up the steps, I fall. GOING UP THE STEPS!!! How that happens, I have no clue. But it happened. 

3.) Wrong floor. Haha not much to expound on this one. This probably doesn't really sound funny to you, but it was hilarious to me. Doesn't take much to get me laughing. Anywho, I tried getting off the steps on the 2nd floor.

4.) Laughing. Now that we were well into class, there I am...sitting and paying attention to the teacher...well sorta. Like I said before, It doesn't take much to make me laugh. Actually, it takes absolutely nothing to make me laugh. And when I start, I have a VERY hard time stopping. So there I am..sitting there and BAM all at once, I start cracking up......OVER NOTHING!!!! Eventually I controlled myself....which was a good thing. That isn't the greatest place to laugh. Good thing I had a computer screen to hide behind! :).

5.) Two-Way. Class is over and now it's time to head to take Crystal back to her car. So there I was, driving downtown....having no clue where I was going. Like most downtown's, there are several one way streets. Well, I thought I was traveling on one of those one-way streets when my life-saving partner informed me that I was definitely driving on the wrong side of the road. Not good. But what else was there to do then to LAUGH?! I'm pretty sure I was laughing at myself for driving on the wrong side of the road and STILL not knowing where I was going. 

All that to say, It was a very interesting evening!! We both made it back ALIVE and WELL! 

peace and love blog reader :)
