If you read my last blog, you know that last Sunday I was in church and people were standing up and telling what they praise God for. Well one guy stood up and said that he had been unemployed and now he has the chance to own a new business. he was so happy and we were all happy for him. that was then. Just two days later his son,Raymond, got in a car accident and didn't make it. It makes me think of how suddenly things like this can happen. This world is crazy, and there are no promises. Tomorrow may not come to you. It may not come to your loved ones. So live each day to its fullest. Boys, tell her how you feel... Girls, don't be afraid of what he might say... Live every moment like it's your last. Because it may be just that.
But then there is one promise. And that promise comes from God. If you live by him, you will live with him when you leave this world. And that's good enough for me. To good for me. I don't deserve it. But don't get me started on that. I can go for hours. The point is, that in all of this chaos, there is always that one promise to hang on to. Take advantage of it.
This blog was written in loving memory of Raymond Huffman. RIP, Ray.

random rhymes
ok so this is what happened today.
i was sitting in church and the pastor asked anyone who had something to praise god for to stand and testify. well i though to myself...wow shouldnt every person be standing right now. and as a few people timidly stood and spoke their minds, i stayed in my seat. not because i have nothing to praise god for, its actually the opposite of that, but because i was to shy to stand and say what i was really thinking. and just when i had mustered up the courage to stand, the pastor moved on. darn! foiled. but then i thought... why the heck was i even scared? i should be standing on my chair shouting out at the top of my lungs all the things im grateful for that i cant even begin to understand.
so in my mind i started writing a little song. i couldnt really think because we were starting to sing other songs, so i didnt really edit it at all. its just a few little random rhymes. but anyways,here goes.......
"i will lay it all on the line!
i will stand at the alter and scream!
for i am yours and you are mine.
this is the song for the redeemed.
i will yell from the highest mountain top
i will show it for all to see
your love and grace wont ever stop
this is the song for the free"
soooo what do ya think? im gonna work on it some more. cya later :)

so i dont know about you, but i liked the whole inside audrey's mind thing i did. so i think im going to do one just like it. without further ado... SANCTUS REAL! i wish. no seriously here goes nothing.
what i have been thinkg about since last night is the song "im not alright". it says "all i go through leads me to you." before i thought i knew exactly what that meant. but now i realize i had it all wrong. it means that there will always be someone who is going to let us down. we are humans, we do that. so after so much hurt we can do two things. loose faith, or we can cling tighter to jesus. christians know that god will always be there to hold us up and never ever let go. so knowing that and also knowing that people will always hurt us and let us down, i hold on to jesus as my only lifeline. but when something (like oh idk, maybe a guys spreads rumors that you are gay and your "friends" believe them) happens, i want to cry. but i really should be rejoicing. because when something like that does happen, it just makes me need jesus even more. so next time i feel like crying... which will probably be when kyler breaks up with me, i should go WOW THANKS GOD! emm... please help me to do that. im not that strong. OMGSH! thats a quote from that same song. wow i sure do love that.
next... i really like him but... i dont think emm does. i kinda feel awkward when i talk about him around her. hmmm...? whatever.
third... im really enjoying my journey to jesus. i think im a better person and im glad for that. i think about the times when i was so far from god and wonder how i lived with out him. everything seems right. i do miss times of less responsibility and endless fun. days when the only thing to be sad about was not getting to share at show and tell time. but i cant say i would rather go back to then. even when my eyes hurt from crying.
and last... i feel bad because i realize god is not the focus of my life. you may be saying "uh duh its not. its obviously sanctus real" well that wasnt so obvious to me a few days ago. not until this past wednesday. so i must get past this obsession. im trying very hard. so for the next hour i will not think about sanctus real. no chris. no cds. not even air guitar. and every time i do, i will counter the thought with reading a verse in the bible.
so i will c u later emm (and u too if by some miracle someone besides emm is reading this)

unknown, undecided, and un-un-written
So usually when i write blogs i spend time wording it so that i dont sound really retarded. well this time its uncensored. i wont push backspace or even think i will just type what i feel. so get ready to take a tour of audrey's mind... buckle your seat belts!
hmmm... how do i become a very famous volcanologist/ astronomer, when no one knows who i am. how to become...un-unknown or known WHATEVER. but i wanna be looked up to by little nerds just like me who are proud to admit that they love science... (:
but now i wonder... should i be a volcanologist/astronomer or a youth pastor. science and god are really important to me. of course god is more important. but idk if i want my whole life to be just a youth pastor so should i maybe try to do both. that could get hectic. but not doing something that has to do with god just isnt and option. i need everyone to see his love and if it takes me as a window then so be it. i think im going to write a song about that. to those lurking in the shadows... let us be the windows so you can see past the walls... reveal his mercy as it falls.... hmm wow i just thought of that off the top of my head. i bet i could make a really god song about that.
anyways... i would love to think of my life as unwritten and that i could be that one hero in my life that changes everything. but, alas, its just not going to happen. there will always be dishes to load, someone to please, a person above me, and something to cry about. so, with that i know what i must do. focus on the POSITIVE. i will always have at least one friend, someone who is always pleased with me, someone above me...watching after me and a reason to rejoice...even when im crying. this is true. god watches out for me. the veggie tales state it very clearly. god is watching out for me and you. so he will always be leading me in the right direction... but does that mean my future is un-unwritten or is it just unwritten.
if you survived those few paragraphs... congradulations! u have just spent 3 minutes in my confusing little mind. try doing that everyday for all of your life. ya thats right. well thx for reading emm!
catch ya on the flopside...lol thats from dan(:

Dan Gartley, Chris Rohman and other random stuff.
"so dan left and i realized something. I realized he borrowed my favorite socks (sigh) i love those socks." dan gartley is pretty awesome. you should check out his blog: awesome blogsome. the name says it all.
so i got back from this amazing sanctus real concert in Toledo and couldn't contain the tears. that was the most amazing night of my life. I met the whole band and got all of their autographs and got pics with them... except somehow not with mark, which i regret now. i think we annoyed the crap out of chris and pete, though. so when i had to leave, i was so sad.
we made posters and mine said "i love you chris" and emms said "i love you matt" and when you turn them around they say "everything about sanctus real...takes our breath away" you know? as in the "song everything about you" anyway matt ended up showing all the 13,000 people in there our signs. AND THEN CHRIS LAUGHED AT ME AND SHOOK OUR HANDS!! ya i was really excited.
so afterwards i was just thinking "why are they so amazing, yet they are barely known?" so i decided i would tell all of my friends about them. well, it turns out that the teens of america are not very open-minded. so li thought maybe i should blog about it. well lets see. hmmm... how many people read this? ONE! and that would be you emm. so if you are reading this and you are not emm...then thanks a lot.
wow its been like a whole paragraph since i have talked about chris so.... I LOVE YOU CHRIS. :) there that feels better. and you may be asking yourself "wow, audrey. what is the point of this?" well lets see
Dan Gartley's blog is awsome
Sanctus Real concerts are amazing
Chris Rohman is freaking fabulous (read his blog, too)
if you make posters, chris may touch your hand
teenagers of america are closed minded
and only one person reads this blog.
There we go. now that we are all clear...
see ya
