But i know that i want to dry tears, like in Isaiah 61: to comfort all who mourn with Jesus' love.
i love... to paint, draw, and especially, to take pictures, and i also love drama. i love to sing. i love contemporary Christian music, Praise and Worship, and listening to my sister play the piano. :) i love the acoustic guitar..even if that word isnt spelled right. :P i love coffee, especially if it is flavored, and i also love, as i know many others do, sitting in coffee shops with friends. :) i love laughing at other people's humor; seriously, this is something i love doing, and do well. :P i love ra

| I just realized today that I left my journal at a rest stop in Illinois! My journal... that has all of this summer in it.. EVERYTHING that has been going on... all the tears and all the little joys... all the testimonies of God's faithfulness.... all the sporatic, angry, frustrated, sorrowful, happy, silly thoughts.... way back in Illinois somewhere! I cried when I realized that I had left it.... There are few things that I treasure more than my journal... But I realized phone numbers for Karen and Carl were in the book... hopefully the person who finds it will call one of them and try to get it back to me. We prayed that would happen... But I also prayed that if someone found it with no intention of finding the owner.. that they would read it. Because one thing I know... that book is a testimony of Who Jesus is... even though I have felt like an empty, dry cup most of the summer... that is probably one reason why my journal pages would be so powerful... and I don't mean that in pride at all... I just know it's true... and so I pray that if anyone finds it... they would read it and see who God really is. It really encourages me to know that I can know that anyone reading that would find God in those pages.. those tear-stained pages. God is really good. /:') Anyways... just wanted to send that out... God is so faithful. I know that whatever happens... He is in control.. and that is cool. love, katy p.s. someone please tell me how to write notes on facebook!!! :P | | |
| hmm... there are lots of things i could say.. i'll tell about a bouquet from God. i have also christened those, "popcicles on a hot day." a bouquet is something that God gives you.... just a little thing--the little things that just make you happy... like... getting your favorite color of a gum ball out of a machine, or seeing a cardinal in a tree...or getting a hug from a three year old.
God's been giving me those... the days have been hard this summer... but there are always bouquets... always those popcicles on a hot day. a few night ago, God put one in my lap--literally. it was a baby named sam.
we were at a the home of one of my dad's former high-school teachers who is now a grandma. two of her grandkids came while we were eating dinner, and one of them was sam. i am a really poor judge of how old babys are... but he was still being bottle fed. he was so small, and soft, and warm, and he smelled like a baby--you know.. all the baby powder and little hair... he was so adorable. she let me hold him... and he just stared at me, and smiled, and gurgled. it just gave me joy.. holding him and talking to him. he stayed happy the whole time i held him.. which was like... half an hour or forty-five minutes..and his grandmother said he usually did not stay happy in someone's arms that long. :) i loved it. i have to go... it's so late. much love! katy | | |
| Wow.. our computer has been down for about a week! Praise God, it is up and working again!
I leave for the United States tomorrow...
This is a song that has been my cry this summer.
Jesus, my heart has been breaking.. But I want to pour all my love on You.. to pour it out. Much love, all.. and always believe Jesus, and always trust Him. He loves you so much, and He will giver you good things. He will.
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears
from all faces;
he will remove the disgrace of his people
from all the earth.
The LORD has spoken.
In that day they will say,
"Surely this is our God;
we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the LORD, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."
Isaiah 25:8-9
katy Alabastar Jar Lord, I've tried to give all to You
There are times when I've failed
There is more to a life with You
Take my life; I lay it down Like an alabastar jar
poured out at Your feet
A pure and broken vessel
with a fragrance that is sweet
A perfume full of worship
that rises to Your throne
Like an alabastar jar.
Lord I know that there's more with You
And I want to really fly
Take my heart, for it belongs to You
Take my life; I lay it down
Like an alabastar jar
poured out at Your feet
A pure and broken vessel
with a fragrance that is sweet
A perfume full of worship
that rises to Your throne
Like an alabastar jar. I pour my love on You
I pour it out
I pour my love on You
I pour it out.
I pour my love (pour my love on You)
I pour it out
I pour my love (pour my love on You)
I pour it out.
Draw me nearer...
nearer, precious Lord
Nearer to You
Nearer to You
Draw me nearer...
nearer, precious Lord
Nearer to You (I wanna come closer)
Nearer to You (I wanna come closer,
closer to You.)

| hey... well, i will go ahead and fume about how compressing pictures is so inconvenient... it completely changes the quality! but oh well... /:P *end of fuming*
so.. i decided to post a bunch of pictures from ... well.. the recent days. :D 
bout a week ago... we bought a frisbee and jack and went out in this big field near the lake to throw it around. it is so nice... just lots and lots of green grass. i love it. jack and i have a tradition of putting my camera on the ground and taking a timed picture on our stomachs. i didn't even think about that this time.. but here we go again. i like the just-thrown-frisbee... :) that was a really beautiful day. jack wanted to play a bunch of games that required many more people than just two... but we still managed to have fun! i love you jack!
 
well.. yesterday was the fourth of july, and i played chess with bob. this is at the beginning of the game, as you can see... it was cool because i actually had him thinking hard! he was actually afraid he would lose. :D (he didn't... of course. but one day i will beat him!)
a wonderful american lady with *connections* gave us some american stuff before she left ukraine! she gave us, among other things, two betty crocker cookie mixes... yay! so we made these amazing sugar cookies and decorated them. it was so much fun--and they sure tasted awesome!
we also painted our faces... by the time i could get a picture though... i was the only specimen for the picture... everyone else had washed theirs off.. of all the cheek! (--ha! cheek!! *slaps knee* HAha!)
and, we had blueberry pie and vanilla ice cream. ahh.. it was so yummy. oh--it was blueberry/raspberry... but mostly blueberry. yummy.. :) i was hoping some random ukrainian would fire off some fireworks (as they do every OTHER day of the year..) but no one did.. it was kind of rainy out. but oh well.. :) :)
and i got to talk to carl and paul on ze phone. it was really special. :) yay!
and.. i decided you all should see these pictures of me and my siblings... a few days ago, we ALL(with my mom[dad was out of the country]) went and played baseball together.. hehe.. the boys and laura against the rest of us girls. hehe... it was something! i think i was the only one who really couldn't bat... but oh well. :P
anyways, i made everyone pose for pictures afterwards--and they obliged me.. for which i am endlessly grateful!! i thought these pics of us were cool... there were these random, giant slabs of concrete just stacked up.. so we posed there. i think they are cool-ly asymmetrical. *beams* yay!
and don't forget the to-die-for album cover shot!
ok.. well, gotta go. i hope you guys enjoyed these! much love!
