Just doing some thinking...mostly about how I miss people.  How people are made to be loved and appreciated and to feel that, and when we don't I know that when I don't I get into this funk, and I don't always like being there.  So we have funny ways of connecting to people via the internet (blogs, IM, email and such) and somehow this helps.  But it is somewhat artificial, but it still fills something.  The need to be heard and seen and understood and valued. 

And I have to ask myself, where have I been finding my self worth in lately?  Many days I don't think I find it...honestly, but this is lately.  My days seem seriously dim.  I need something, anything, to get out of this almost prison like state I tend to put myself in.  Day in and day out....one day...oh maybe one day

Well, I really should be in bed, but I just got home a few minutes ago from babysitting and don't feel like going to bed. I babysat for a wonderful family, they have four kids: Ashley, Ayanna, Amber and David.  The four most sweet and adorable kids.  They're great fun and we just hung out and watched High School Musical ;)

Summer has been okay so far.  I've been working a little bit at the YMCA with Alicia, helping do preschool classes and do before camp care.  Also just hanging out around the house, relaxing and enjoying stress-free days without school.

I've been singing with Driven, this gospel group and with church.  I kinda wish I was going somewhere cool, but I'm just hanging out here in Milwaukee.

I hope all my friends have a blessed Fourth of July and let me know how you're doing, if you guys still read this...adios for now...peace.

Hello.  Good morning.  I am just hanging out up north with my wonderful friend Nicole and her father and her aunt and uncle.  So far we went for a paddle boat ride, we went to a cookout and hung out with people and were quite irresponsible and stayed up all night...oops...sorry parents...please don't hurt me....jk. 

Um...yeah...oh yeah, and I drew Nicole finally, and I think it looks pretty good, not great, but good.  And well, I'm tired, and now I am typing without looking at the keyboard.  Totally random...I know.  Okay, bye bye world.

Adios.  And remember to love yourself a little more today and share a smile with someone you meet :)

Hello world.  Well, it's me, silly Hannah.  I've been a little distant of late.  Feeling like I had to "prove" myself to the world or something.  I've been realizing that that is all silliness and futile anyway.  I love myself and my abilities, but at times feel cursed by being musical.  Like it's not a gift, which i know is a lie.  But at times, I still feel that. 

Just finished watching Ray, good movie, but a little too depressing right now.  My uncle Aaron is wanted for crack use and just left his 9 yr. old son all by himself at my aunt and uncles, and me, well me, i'm an afterthought.  

And that is the truth. 

"When will we acknowlege that we don't have it all toghether and happyily accept the gift of grace?  When will we grasp the thrilling thought of Paul: We acknowlege what makes man righteous is not obedience to the law, but faith in Jesus Christ"  (Galation 2:16)

Happy New year everyone...I'm glad to be on break, although life is a little crazier, since we have my two little cousins living with us.  So please pray for us.  They need a lot of attention and love, but it has reminded me that life is to be lived and poured out into others.  But of course, love is something we are so inadequate at giving at times, that is why we need God's love. How we all need more of Him!

Lord, I pray for peace for our home and your love to conquer all fear and anything not of you.  Help bring us all into unity and allow your spirit to guide us all and lead us all.  For Your are good and most worthy to be praised. 

Living and learning...that's what it's all about.

Peace.  Shalom. Pass it on.
