don't know what to fill your void with? Try Pie!

I'm home!!!! it's been since August, but here I am in my own room in my house with my family and lots of food downstairs. It was weird flying here. When I landed in Raleigh I was actually nervous, but it's been good. Really good. There have been some odd spots, but I love food. Did you know it's real up here? whatever they have down at Belhaven is not real. Somehow it keeps you going, but the process where it goes in your mouth and swirls around before the decent is somewhat lacking if you cannot even tell what it is you are supposed to be eating. Generally it is "food." Ice cream is one of the main dietary supplements there. Along with cereal and peanut butter. So here there is turkey in the fridge and today I had a grand total of five pieces of pie. Two blueberry, one apple, and two pumkin. Now that is called living.
And today I got to see some of my most wonderful friends that I havn't seen in ages! That was after watching Pride and Prejudice with my mom sister and Lauren(an addition to the family around holiday times). Good movie. So I got to see Lily from Japan. that was cool. weird but good. And I got to see Fuller and Ray and Meghan (yay) and B (and I got to see his girlfriend for the first time) and Q and Matthew. All the Japan team but the leaders. It was real nice to hang out with Fuller and Ray. It made me feel at home. (and I saw Nikki on thanksgiving... yay)
I'm going to church on sunday and I can't wait to see everyone! you better all be there.
So... we have a tree in our front yard that we'll be decorating tomorrow night. Yayah. some good old yuletide festivities.
God is good to me. I love it. I've had the good and the bad, but it is definitely good.

What does God want to do in you? Be gentle... open your eyes to this world he made... touch others through your service, your love for him and your joy... protect you from fear and shame.... talk to you because he loves you and he absolutely loves to speak with you...
do you hear him?

Jesus is yummy

Jesus is amazing! have I said that recently? not really, but I should. He has been so real recently. Not always in my mind, but defninitely in my life. I feel him as I walk out the door into hte beatiful sunshine and hear the birds chirp and see the blue, blue sky...
There are such wonderful people here. ppl who love JC.... There's so much in my heart, but it doesn't always come out... I don't know what to write, but I just felt that a God post was in order... I'm talking about my life, and he's the center...
sooo.... talk to God... all the time.... and listen sometimes too.... pray for other people. I tried to find a verse for a friend yesterday and found some wonderful ones for myself....

this life claimed by Kim

So folks... today has been good.... Ballet class was boring, so I entertained myself by acting stupid. I have realized that I am better than a great deal of the people in my class which makes me feel good. The teacher asked me to demonstrate something in class. oooohhhh.... what now?
I'm tired of going slowly... I want a challenge... I want to learn somehting new in dance, or do something really, really hard. But I still had fun.
After that I had a half hour before Master Learner... So what did I do? I went to my secret place and took pictures of myself on my cell phone that I thought were really funny. I make myself laugh sometimes... hehe Then we had the last Master Learner (freshman seminar class thing)!!!! Hip hip hooray! Plus it got out a half hour early. So right now I'm in a running around acting stupid mood. oh well...
Last night I wandered around campus in the dark... I went behind Gillespie by the lake and then went over behind the new dance building (called the swamp building by my wonderful friend Rachel). There I did my crunches and pushups that my ballet teacher makes us do. It was fun to do them outside in the grass by myself at night.
I've decided that the weather here is retarted!!! to the extreme. A few weeks ago it was COLD... like in the 30s... now it's probably in the 80s and yesterday it was swimming weather. Not indoor swimming weather or hot tub weather, but outdoor pool swimming weather.
so... there is more to this life claimed by Kim, but to know that you'll have to call me or email me or somesuch communication method....
