Waffles

I'm reading a book called The Orphaned Anything's by Stephen Christian, the singer for Anberlin. It's incredible! It's a fictional memoir of Ayden Kosacov who is blunt with the reality of life and dripping with sarcasm. I absolutely love it! And another amazing part of the book is that Christian included a list of songs to read the book to on the back page!!! Pure sweetness... :)

I just ate three waffles for breakfast.

Guess what the brilliant Alex Fancher did Monday night? You're not gonna believe this... Well, if you know me well then you might... haha Well first I'll let you know that Sunday night my left heel finally healed up after I had a blister then scab for like three weeks from some stupid shoes. So Monday I went to some friends house and I was walkin' out of one of the girl's room and shut the door not on the door frame, but on my RIGHT HEEL! I screamed and fell on the couch in dire pain. I've done this before, but never so bad as to put a gash in my heel that bled all night! One of the girl's tried to save me with a SpongeBob band-aid. Oh it doesn't stop there. After I got home I began folding and putting away laundry. I was putting up some towels in the linen cabinet and then walked into the bathroom leaving the cabinet door open. (You can see where this is going...) I turned back around and "BAM!" my head hit the cabinet door full force! I sunk to the floor and cried... Is there any hope for me? I got a bruise and knot on my nose from it hitting the knob and my heel proceeded to bruise and swell up along with the large gash in it. What to do, what to do...

A Beautiful Year

Once again, another year passes... So much can happen in a year. Two thousand nine was so full. There was good, bad, old, and new... I have changed so much in one year. I am so ready for this new year. I need a fresh start. I can't wait to see where the Lord takes me this year! It's easy to dwell on all of the things I didn't do in 2009, failures, struggles, pains, and mistakes. However, I'm looking ahead! I will learn from the past, move on, and look with bright expectation on the future! There are so many things to be appreciated and cherished from 2009 as well. I will take these things to heart and look forward to the future. As C.S. Lewis said, "There are better things ahead than any we leave behind."

Philippians 3:12-14

Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
