Finally!
My dear computer is back! Well homecoming week has been absolutely incredible! I’ve definitely had a lot of new experiences such as seeing a human jump rope and going to my very first football game! Yay! Sadly, I’m not going to the dance tonight though due to some very complicated schedule issues but there’s always next year. I’m so excited for this school year! It’s going to be awesome. And can I just say that I go to the very best school around?!? The seniors somehow got it around the school to vote for a certain homecoming king and queen. Now it wasn’t your typical unrealisticly beautiful popular people. It was a queen with cancer and a king with a brain tumor. I love my school. =)
How sad…
ok, so i finally get my blog started again and my internet poops out. I’m actually at the library right now and this is my lame excuse for a post.
In other news…
CONGRATULATIONS TED AND KATHRYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Weekend!
Yes this weekend was really great! Small groups went even more amazing than I had hoped. There were only 4 girls but I can already tell that it is going to be absolutely phenominal this year!
After small groups I went home with Hayley and we had some FANTASTIC subs at this cute place called MichaelAngelo’s and then I rushed home to grab my swimsuit and went to a youth group pool party at the Huebners’ place. It was a blast. There are SO many new kids, and they’re all mainly junior highers. It was really great being able to see them connecting to each other and having fun together. There are so many of them that are completely new to this whole “church” thing. They honestly don’t know how to act… they don’t know what to do. They don’t know that youth group is a place for them to be themselves. As I walked by on Sunday I overheard a group of kids talking and one mentioned that she was afraid of youth group. Now, she’s only been there a few times but it was really a hard thing to hear. I want to make it my goal from now on to make sure that everyone is as welcome as humanly possible when they come. I want to do everything I can and then let God do the rest.
Late Night Coffee
Just got home from a great night with the one and only Hayley Day. We had an awesome time at Starbucks talking about our small group that starts tomorrow over an iced vanilla chai. ((we’re leading 1st grade girls)) I’M SO EXCITED!!! aaah its going to be amazing! Anywho… after that we walked to Chipotle and ate like 4 chips and then decided we wanted Panera more. So Hayley stuffed the bag of chips in her lovely purse and we dashed across Randall Road (( not the smartest thing we’ve ever done)) and I fed my addiction and got another caffeine infused carmel latte while she had a steaming cup of soup.
I LOVE times like this. No, I love friends like this. Friends that are content to just sit in coffee shops and talk about anything and everything. Friends that you can be totally open and raw with and share everything with. It’s nice to be able to sit with someone even when the last drop of scrumptious vanilla latte ((no foam)) is gone. We could talk all day and still have hours more to talk about. It’s so funny how sometimes you can talk to someone 507 times a day and then still have more to tell and share. Times like this give me such a burst of energy. They’re like my caffeine for the soul.
Well have a great night!
and go get yourself some soul caffeine.
It works… seriously!

So what is a caffeinated ragamuffin?
Ragamuffins are the outcasts. The losers. The ((as Brennan Manning says)) the burnt-out, the beat up, the bedraggled. They’re the ones that Jesus chose to hang out with instead of the high and mighty, know it all, priests and other religious leaders. A ragamuffin is exactly what i want to be all my life. I never want to think that I’ve reached the zenith of my faith. I never want to tell myself that there is nothing more I can learn about my savior Jesus Christ. I will forever be constantly open and learning. I will never know it all and I will most definitely never be perfect. So therefore I am a ragamuffin. I, in no way, deserve Christ’s love and forgiveness yet I have it anyway! I am a ragamuffin.
So… a caffeinated ragamuffin…
pretty much just a ragamuffin that has quite an inhuman addiction to coffee.
