beautiful disaster

Yuen Kay bought my dress, just in pink!!

All right, you may stop laughing now, everyone. Jac knows how to resolve the situation. Or, she would be able to if she weren't so horrible at sewing. Don't get me wrong; I know how to sew (every self-respecting dancer sews her own ribbons on, okay) but I don't know how to sew well.

But hey, now's a good time as ever to learn how to.

Maybe I should have just gotten one in the US. But I wouldn't have been satisfied with it, I know, because all the time I had the peach dress in mind.

School's been pretty all right. It's funny; I was dreading starting school but now that it's started I think it might be just what I need. I've been a bit down lately and I was wondering when that gift of joy God promised was ever going to come, because I sure don't have it yet. It's so complicated, you know? What exactly is being joyful and rejoicing in the Lord? I wish one day I could and live forever like that but knowing my aptitude for making up fantasies I don't think what I'm imagining now as joy is really joy. It's confusing, I know. I'm a confused girl.

(p.s. Spider-Man 2's coming out tomorrow! I'm definitely going to watch.)

My Destiny
Psalm 46 (NASB)
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

There is river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
