Raindrops and Laptops

Perhaps I'm too sensitive, or maybe it just meant more to me.

It's 9:18 and I'm still in bed... I love my schedule.
No class until 1pm.... and then it's Post Production.... I love my schedule.

Last night was the first practice for YP band :) I had so much fun! Kerrie and I rocked the 2nd Cornets section (yea, I don't get my own section yet... but just wait...). I was very surprised with how well I did actually. My sound wasn't too bad, and other then having to write the letters under the notes, I followed along and nailed a lot of it.

I think once you learn something, you never forget it... it just hides somewhere in your big head.

Like swimming maybe?

Tonight is a surprise party for Bryan! He is leaving for 5 months to Spain in a couple of weeks, so that is sad and exciting all at once. It's being held at the Granger residence.... it's been awhile since I've been there. Used to go there a couple times a week. Haha... at least I won't have to clean it :P

<3

Speaking of Grangers.... I came back from the summer and Joel suddenly is bigger then me! I have to look up to him now. Guess the roles have reversed.... though I still hope he looks up to me. He is going to be as tall as James soon.

James hasn't changed a bit.

But it's only been 2.5 months.

I've been trying to pass the honours of Bass player over to Steve V. but he is trying to be polite and not take away my spot in the band.... well actually haha....

Maybe we can rotate... create some sort of organizational chart that shows Steve playing 4 times as much as me :D

I really just need to work as much as I can. I could probably do the Worship band thing if I didn't have to go to practices, but that's not fair to the band. If I don't have to work on Tuesday nights, then I'll do it.

I love Perry... I've hardly even talked (or played) with Perry since I've been home. Hope he's not too upset with me, or out of tune.

Maybe I could play my new diddy... "Home home on the Stage, I mean range..."

In my camera/lighting class yesterday we got our 4x5 cameras.... six hundred pounds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment. Not a stressful class at all...

But it was so fun! It took Carter 3 hours to teach us how to use it and put it together. It's got the accordion body, you know? And the blanket that goes over your head and the shutter release cable. It's fantastic. I just hope I never have to take it on the bus....

Awe my baby had such a rough morning today! Logan couldn't find money for her music class and then she was running late because Kerrie was going to write her a note, but then she couldn't find her agenda and ugh... my heart broke for the poor girl. She left in tears, running desperately to catch the bus.

For that reason, I wish I had a job and a car.
---
Oooo I need to get on that... I really want to get my license soon. Add it to my list of 'have dones'
---
If anyone wants family photos done in the fall... let me know!
Or the winter actually... I love LOVE winter photography...
---
It annoys me when the phone rings when you're waiting for a job to call... and it's not them...
---
I'm off!
Have a great day :)

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
