the world is right again

2008-07-20T15:06:00.003-05:00

My wonderfully amazing computer is now up and working successfully, thank you Jesus. But in the last post I told y'all about how god has been doing so much in me and guess i couldn't leave y'all just on that note now could I. Here's the explaining time. Something really amazing just kind of happened the other day. Lately I have been down the dumps. I mean the devil has been really working me for awhile. Things have just really been taking turn on my life and emotions but this lady i was talking to a couple days ago really taught me something important. If I hang out with you on a regular basis you might have realized that I have a few weird habits. One being, that when I have some spare pennies I like to leave them face up in random places. Well the other day I was having a really hard time but I ended up in a conversation with an older lady in the electronics department at the Walmart near my house. She ended up giving me incredible advice about my current problems and told me of how she was having a rough week as well but earlier that day she had found a penny and somehow it made her day alittle brighter. In awe, I just kind of smiled and we went are separate ways but for some reason that just keeps sticking out in my mind. How one little coin can in some way give a person hope just makes me wonder what could we really do to spread alittle hope because in the end that's what people are looking for. A Hope for the present and the future. A brighter tomorrow. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't be fooled by the little things because you don't know what they could do for someone.

Sadly to say still no computer for Stefanie but it is getting fixed at his very second so by the next time I post hopefully it would be from the library, although being here make me feel all smart :) ha ha. Anyway, So VBS. Pretty awesome must say. Forgot how much I love little kids. They're always so happy and just ready to have to fun. You can really be sad around them. Even though I didn't get threatened by a six year old-long and scary story- overall it is ridiculously awesome. Not much as really been going on but God has been dealing with me alot about some issue but Ill make sure to keep y'all in loop once I figure all of it out. Until then have a great day and keep on smiling.

Submerge 08' Baby

2008-07-02T14:14:00.003-05:00

Yes I know wha your about to say..Why no blogspot love?? But I have my reason, one being that my computer as been down for awhile. So as I sit and type this from our local library there are many thoughts racing through this head of mine. One being the main question:: Why does submerge have to be so awesome?? Because of the greatness of it all I have been craving the sandy beaches of panama city, the crazy out of this world services, and the randomness that seemed to take over eahc and every day. Every year I think that nothing can really top the year before but then somehow they achieve too...go figure. You know the feeling after a submerge, like your on top of the world. Well I dont want that feeling to go away I dont want to wake up tommorow or weeks or even months from now and realize that that fire is fading. But like Tyler said He WAS there and it WAS amazing. To think I almost wasnt able to go [shame that would be]. For all who didnt go I feel sorry for you because as far as I am concerned thats what you search for, to feel the closeness when you feel the presence of the almighty creator.

God I pray that you dont let me lose that feeling just because Im back in Baton Rouge, I pray that all of us dont lose it but continue to do your will each and every day of our lives.

Ps.

2008-06-16T12:50:00.000-05:00

Just thought I would tell you all that I have the best dad EVER. yeah you may think yours is better but you are sadly mistaken Im sorry to break it to you. Mine comes in first haha just kidding but seriously he really could rock your face off... Yes hes just that awesome. So Happy [late] Father's day to all the dads. :) Stay amazingly awesome.

Back from Camp Barnabas and there is so much I want to say but cant in this post. Camp Barnabas is truely unexplainable because so much happens you cant even begen to express in words. But there is one story I can tell that I think will just show a glimpse of the outstanding love these camper's have.

So I met this camper named James. James was about 25 years old but had the mind of a 7 year old. Theres one thing you have to know about James before anything else: He was probably one of the sweetest guys you would ever meet in your life. He would stand up to sing in front of the whole camp everynight and would leave me flowers at my table after every meal with cute little notes attached telling me to have a good day, That I looked realyl pretty, or that I was his favorite barnstormer. One day he asked me to be his date for the dance that night. Everynight they would have a party at camp barnabas just to pump up the campers and have alittle fun and that night was the feista themed dance. during the dance he leaned over and asked me if I wanted to know a secret. Of course being the curious person I am, I said sure. Then he said something I think I will never forget. He said he loved Camp Barnabis because of the way I, and everyone there, had been looking at him - like he was normal and no one ever looks at him like that.

I think that moment was the first time I really truely broke down in tears that week. After getting to know these amazing people you couldnt help but cry. They were so open and loving and its sad because I guess I have to wonder why I cant be like that. I can honestly say those campers toke a peice of my heart and I wouldnt have it any other way. Camp Barnabas is truely like a heaven on Earth, no where can come close to comparing to it.

Air conditioning---the best thing since sliced bread

2008-05-29T14:39:00.003-05:00

Back from Saturate and Navigate Boot Camp Hmm what to say, what to say. Beside doing horribly challenging obstacle courses and it being so hot its probably not healthy for any human, it was actually very very enjoyable. I got closer to some people I would have most likely never have met, some which I knew just not as well as I do now, and some I think will become friends in the near future. Also I had the most incredible roommates, which i will keep anonymous; - But if you're really curious; Claire Ferrara, Joelle Ferrara, Amy Phillips, and Zoe Graeser.. Overall I give it a two thumbs up, I would give it more but I don’t have any more thumbs so yeah two thumbs is the best i got. :)

On another note, In a few hours I will be leaving for a little place in the middle of no where named Purdy, Missouri. Yes its true tomorrow we will be headed out to Camp Barnabas tomorrow although it seems like it just snuck up behind us when none of us where looking. I’m so pumped about this trip although the ride up with be long and agonizing it will be worth it in the end. Now that I summed y'all up on the things currently happening in my life, I am tired as a mug and need a long [I mean extremely long] shower and then nap. So stay amazing. I love you all and Rock it out for Jesus.

Ps: the following picture is for my friend Claire, Dance little monkey dance!

Pass the cake and icecream..

2008-05-15T19:24:00.003-05:00

So take a wild guess at what today is. if you guessed my birthday then you are oh so very correct :) Today Stefanie is finally not a youngin. Well actually i still kinda am. I'm only fifteen now but hey its a year older. Sadly i had school on my birthday and i have study for four tests--ugh but I'm trying to stay in the positive mood anyway. My wonderful parents made my favorite foods for me, spaghetti and easy mac, plus the all six of us where home so that was great as usual. I know this will be kinda a short post but i have to get off so leave some love, stay awesome and hug someone today :D

Cheese!

2008-05-09T06:45:00.004-05:00

Like the random title?? :) Just something that was in my head at the moment.

well its like six-thirty o'clock in the morning but i had some time before school and i felt a sudden urge to post so yeah these past couple weeks have been pretty busy ones. To start it off I have finals for school next week and i have been studying like a crazy person. Also, all the Barnabis stuff as been due around this time since we will be leaving in exactly twenty-two days....I have been counting down! I'm seriously pumped about it though. Anyways another exciting thing is my birthday next thrursday i want to say which should be pretty great although i don't think we are doing anything really special but i don't mind just spending time with the family. That's all on this side but I'm catching up on things so i promise i will post more often now. Stay incredible and I love you all.

Things that make me smile

2008-04-26T12:16:00.002-05:00

the cutest Korean baby singing and playing a song.
if you can believe it this kid is only four years old. crazy i know.
just watch this video but ignore the random Korean talk at the front.
This kid just makes me smile

hey jude baby

2008-04-24T16:31:00.002-05:00

so i came across this picture we took back in the end of July and beginning of August when we went to Victory City, Mexico with the church. It just kinda reminded me of that trip and how great it was, how may lives were touched including ours. I got to meet so many great people from Global Youth Net and from a small church in Texas. It just made me remember that unbelievable mission trip and made me look forward the the mission trip i will going with at the end of next month. gosh i cant wait to get to Camp Barnabis, if you didn't know i absolutely love disabled children and people in general so this is a big deal to me. I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me get the money to go on this trip and i only have a few more dollars left to pay but i know god can handle that little bit, i mean what can he not handle.

Changing Reality

2008-04-09T21:34:00.003-05:00

Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real?? Every detail, every action seemed like you were right in the moment. Well lately that has been going on alot in my mind. Lately i have been having mirages or dreams of the most random things. Mostly of the future and what is to come. Dreams of graduating, helping bring others to Christ, missions trips and my wedding day. I don't know what brings they images but i am grateful. For when ever i see these thoughts flash through my head almost like a movie, it gives me hope. Hope for what i don't know and what only god knows and all i cant say is whether they happen or not i cant wait for the future although now i am pretty content with my ever changing present and the amazing people in it. So if your one of those people thanks you for influencing my life. you have no idea how grateful i am for you pouring into me. Thank you and I love you all more then you will ever know

Pass the plate

2008-04-06T16:57:00.002-05:00

So not much has really been happening in my life lately. I mean with our current lack of money we are trying to save up to go on missions so movies and anything that cost the smallest amount of cash is off limits but i cant complain because i know things could be much worse; and do free things is pretty fun actually try it, you might be surprised.
Today we are having a cookout with the family. My mom as been sick lately, even though she might not show it, so all of us decided to make dinner for her. Which is not at all the slight bit easy because they're six of us. plus the two people currently sharing a house with us at the moment, plus the two boyfriends so you do that math. Although it is challenging it pretty fun. We are no chefs that's for sure, i love to cook I'm just not the best at it so the meals consists of left over jambalaya, hamburgers, microwaved french fries, and my personal favorite, easy mac. Gotta love the easy mac :) Overall my life has been kind of content and its not so bad after all.

Shout Outs

2008-03-31T18:14:00.002-05:00

Comptuer "issues"

2008-03-25T17:15:00.004-05:00

Yes i know what y'all want to say whats up with the lack of posting well it turns out the devil does not like my computer so much for it has been broken since what seems like forever. To my surprise i woke up this morning to a new and oddly fast computer. Lets just hope it doesn't go down again for who knows what we might do.
Life Lesson of the Day: Cherish the computer for your life changes greatly without it and you tend to get some sort of withdrawals. Yes, computer withdrawals, its a serious problem these day they should have some sort of therapy :)

PS: Laser tag last night was awesome although we got creamed most of the rounds.

The crazy world I call life

2008-03-06T18:06:00.003-06:00

Lately things have been ok. Not much has really been happening in my life, well i mean beside my crazy family, but that would take years to explain. Saturday we went to the outreach with church to the CEO disability center. I loved those kids. They are always so sweet that's why i think i really want to be special education teacher. Of all people you except them to be sad but all you see is hope. On Friday my moms parents came into town and if you thought my family was already psycho just wait until you meet them. Also If i haven't already told you my older sister Dee, is pregnant so shes very emotional. Although it was kinda interesting seeing her try to tell my grandparents the news. To top it all off we have midterms this week and the ileap next week .So to say the least i will be fairly. Well i guess entertainment was what i wanted so note to all be careful what you wish for because it might turn out much different then you planned.

Post Amplified....

2008-02-24T20:17:00.003-06:00

So as excepted Amplified was absolutely amazing in every way. The services and outreach couldn't be better, i couldn't ask for better people to share the weekend with and the worship was out of this world. It was like a holy smack down just happened and god almighty defiantly won this battle. My leaders and roommates were just awesome ...you should be very jealous :) and it just erupted with the holy spirit. People were broken before god and it was incredible to see everything go down. If you didn't attend you defiantly missed out on something great. Overall this weekend was a refreshing one. One to get me back on track and remind why i want to live for him through everything and for everyday the rest of my life.

Date Night

2008-02-17T17:01:00.006-06:00

Well this past friday was the date night at the highland campus. My parents attended with about 150 other couples. As for me and nicole we got to be the waitresses and helped out with the whole shindig. After praying to god i wouldnt drop the food eveything went pretty well. We got to ahng out with some friends like austin wright and chase cole. The food was great and the people were super sweet. We got tons of thank yous. It was just a really fun night and im glad i decided to help. So happy late valentines day people :)

The Randomness of life

2008-02-09T22:36:00.000-06:00

Do you ever wonder why things happen like they do? I have to admit I do alot. I often plan how things should go in my head befoer hand and then when it rolls around it turns out totally opposite of the plan and I wonder does god do it differently for a reason? Does he want to surprise us? or simply just remind us that he does the planning not us? I so often want to steer my life in my own direction but I just need to remember that I'm not the driver I'm simply the passenger. It takes time to move past that stage but gladly I have nothing but time. So I can't wait to figure out where it goes and what he does. Our God is an amazing god..I know that sounds cheesy and people here it all the time but its true. And although it may be cheesy its still a fact. So we have to be reminded that life is random but with it, it just wouldnt be the same or quite as interesting :)

Sickness has a mind of its own

2008-01-29T17:47:00.000-06:00

so after refuge on Thursday i was feeling horrible and then i noticed a big red spot on my back. Well after a few days i noticed it wasn't going away. I told my mom to book me a doctor's appointed and after waking up practically crying in pain and we went to see what was the matter. It turns out that i have this thing called shingles. It burns for a few weeks but eventually it will go away. apparently i am pretty young to get shingles because they have like 12 pills people can take to ease the pain but because of my age i can only take 2 of them. Basically i just have to deal with the pain until they go away. Not the greatest experience especially with school and everything. So pray it will go away soon and ill keep ya ll in my prays also.

lastest realization

2008-01-16T22:21:00.000-06:00

There are times in your life, like at this very moment in time, when you have a truly intense realization of your life. You realize what your purpose is, what mistakes you've made, what your future will be, and so many more things that were unclear before. In some sort of world that apparently was being harvested in the back of my mind, I knew it all along. The real reason why it had never revealed itself until this very moment was that of fear; fear of truth. Truth is unbelievably imperative throughout your entire life, and if one cannot find truth, then one cannot find countless instances of everything vital in our existance.
I cannot help but ask myself what I did wrong or where, in this series of fortunate and unfortunate events that I call my life, I missed something. Maybe...there are certain occurences in your life that affect everything to come. Maybe, in some kind of way, things as insignificant as plucking my eyebrows affect my future. I know that I have made mistakes; that is one thing that I am positive about. But I also know that the mistakes I've made and the paths that I've chosen to follow make me who I am. I have finally come to a realization that it is not fear of death that has haunted me in this world that has finally grown to a full bloom in my mind. It is fear of life. Fear of doing everything wrong, fear of not being enough in the eyes of those who have seen more than I could ever imagine. But why live in fear? Why waste those moments in life that could be cherished through my entire being with fear of making a mistake? Why be afraid of life if I am not going to live it?
I have found truth. Truth of everything that has occured in my life. Truth of the lies that were once spoken. Truth of what could have been and what is. I have found truth, and it is the source of every ounce of faith, love, hate, and desire throuhgout my life from now on. Theres someting deep for ya Emma haha :D

Fenders make me happy :)

2008-01-14T20:21:00.000-06:00

From the title of this post you probably already know what my post will be about. Well for Christmas this year my parents got me beautiful black and white fender squier bass guitar. It was actually like my only gift for christmas from them but im so happy i got it and it was definatly worht it. It rocks. Although I really wanted a precision one, i aint complaing because i feel in love with this guitar. ...You should be very jealous because i have a rockin guitar and you dont haha i kidd :))
Anway as soon as i get some pictures i will post them up so yall get see it but be warned some drooling may occur from its altra sexiness :D

Learing Lesson of the Day...

2008-01-08T16:52:00.000-06:00

sorry for the lack of posts. I don't really have a good excuse because my life right now is kind of on the boring so to tell truth i just hadn't gotten around to it. Nothing really interesting has happened lately because New Years of course. but well today we started the new semester at St. Amant High. ; which means new classes, new teachers, and new people. I have gotten to meet some really nice people lately. One i girl i was talking to in my geometry was telling me about her story. It must be a family thing or something because everyone loves to tell us their life stories all the time . Anywhoo she telling me about how she moved in with her grandparents because her mom died and her dad was abusive so her grandparents were the next in line. As i sat there and listened to her story i was so grateful for having such a great family. Although we might fight often I'm really lucky to have a mom and dad i can come to for help and three amazing sisters i can go to for advice when i need it. I don't know what i would without my family. So basically the learning lesson of the day: Be grateful for what you have although sometimes you may think otherwise..

Random Question

2008-01-02T19:17:00.000-06:00

Intoduction to the Blogging World

2007-12-30T21:42:00.000-06:00

Yes it is true we have new blogger among us :D
My mom finally decided to get herself a blog I must be setting a trend in my family because one of sisters Nicole is supposed to be getting one too. Now all i have to do is convince my dad and my two older sisters also. Although hers isn't up yet my moms is so go check it out

howellfamily00.blogspot.com

yep so now i have to be extra good with all the blogging peer pressure she has added:]]

....

2007-12-28T21:16:00.000-06:00

Yeah i couldn't think of a title lol.
Christmas was great for me. All my sister were here. So it was pretty chaotic well actually chaotic was an understatement. If you didn't already know my house is pretty crowded. There is four kids [all teens] my mom and dad, and our four pets. I got some great things like a guitar like a bass guitar, clothes, money, chocolate and lots of lots of clothes. I was glad this year just to stay at home in good ole Louisiana instead of going up to Virginia. I mean don't get me wrong i love Virginia and all i mean it was were i was born and were all our family is but i like the south better. People show more hospitality here. Hopefully this summer i wont have to go up there again, i got out of it last summer to do summer session with pathfinders and i hope i can get out of it this year also. New years is around the corner and i love it. December is just stacked full of holidays. Even though i haven't made any plans yet I'm sure i will figure out something to do this year. Nothing really life changing has happened lately, just living my normal life although tomorrow i might be leaving to go on a trip with one of my friends to Marksville, Louisiana. I don't really know where it is but shes having a hard to time so figured i could go and support here right now. If i do go i will be leaving tomorrow and coming back Monday. So i will be back for New years people. don't worry :D That's about that has been happening in my world besides some old wounds opening up but i think i can handle it. So everyone have a good week.
xoxox Stef.

The day after tommorow

2007-12-25T15:22:00.000-06:00

Its funny how time seems to just fly by. Its like yesterday you were just a little kid and the only thing that hurt was skinned knees from playing outside and goodbyes that only lasted until tomorrow. Then before you know it your going to high school, getting a car, or moving out. You wish you could go back to being a little kid, when things were so much easier, Where your dad's shoulder was the highest place on earth, your mom was your hero, and when you just couldn't wait to grow up. Everyone knows that life goes on but sometimes you just want to stop it, if even for one second. As the new year rolls around everyone reflects back on all the years that have passed; the good, the bad, everything. Some things you wouldn't change for the world but some are different. I have began to look back at this year and the years that passed before it and even though i regret some decisions, i wouldn't take them back because decisions are what makes a person. Even if the decision is minor in some form or way it does change you, shape you ,whether for the good or bad. All we can do is move on because the past is behind us and now we get to make a whole bunch of good decisions and some not so good ones. We cant look at the past. We have to remember that their is now and their is a future that could be greater then you have ever excepted .

Random Question of the week

2007-12-22T19:03:00.000-06:00

OK well I'm back with another random question. I was looking back at my last few posts and remembered that i forgot to do one of these this week. So in the spirit of Christmas this is the random question of the week:

Out of all the Christmas characters, which one is your favorite?

Answers people :D...

Perfection is overrated :D

2007-12-18T17:11:00.000-06:00

Sorry blog world for neglecting you lately but i have reasons. Lately i have been struggling with some stuff. I feel like everyone expects me to be perfect. To have to perfect grades, perfect things to say, the perfect everything. I have been really stressed lately about this but early this morning when i was having my quiet time with god i came across this verse:

"As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.

For who is God besides the LORD ?
And who is the Rock except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect."

After reading that it is was like another one of those holy slaps in the face. I realized I don't need to perfect because no matter how much i try i will never be. No one is perfect and that's what makes us special. We each have or own trials and difficulties but if we didn't then what would we need god for? He gave us problems for a reason. So we can grow in a relationship with him. He wants us to run to him for help and no matter how much we try to run and hide from these problems if they are meant to be they will happen sooner or later. Lord help we to realize that i shouldn't be ashamed of not being perfect because no one is perfect, except you. I want to be able to tell people that my life wasn't perfect but because i had you i got through all the road bumps. Help me not to strive to try and be what everyone else wants but just to be me and let the chips fall where they may because no matter what problems i face i can always run to you and you will hold me through it all. You are my God, my spirit, my protector, my best friend, my father, and so much more. Help me not to forget everything happens for a reason and no matter how bad it is at that moment, time is only temporary and today's problems is tomorrow's memories.

Twisted

2007-12-14T20:10:00.001-06:00

As many of you should know twisted was the other day and it was awesome. Just hanging out with friends, laughing at some people in Asian outfits lol -yeah yeah you know i love you guys :D- and eating some good food. All the leaders and people who helped out with the decoration did an awesome job because the place looked great. Even though i was told it toke 3 days to decorate the annex, it was worth it. Of course like every HPC event there was great food -chicken, chocolate on a pretzel, candy, sushi and much more. To my surprise i actually like sushi for the most part but some of it not so much :] We had an appearance by "Chuck Norris" ha ha very very interesting i must say myself but Hilarious and there was also some great dancer that put on a show. Sadly though, there will be no more refuge for a few weeks *tear tear* but on a better note Christmas is around the corner. For once this year me and my family will not be going up north to see the family but instead having a good old Louisiana Christmas, which hopefully all six of us with be there this year. who knows. anyway just to remind y'all caroling is tomorrow so if you want to join its at 7pm you can always come later or earlier. If you plan on coming just tell me . Stay amazing people

Random Question of the week

2007-12-10T15:40:00.000-06:00

2007-12-04T20:58:00.000-06:00

And it actually turns out that has we were entering the center we ran into many kids from my school so in a way i got to go with them to. It was great. they Had skits, music, videos, and lots of lots people.

I got to see some friends like Austin, Reagen, Kaytee, Jonathon, and many others. I actually had lots of fun taking picures of the whole thing. I am so glad i decided to go and if you didn't, you missed out on a great thing but i will see all of y'all at refuge tonight. Make sure to say hi :D

xoxo Stefanie

Finally!

2007-11-29T19:13:00.000-06:00

I have been waiting to post for what seems like forever. Since my last post many things have happened, both good and bad. First of all we helped out at Winborne with the thanksgiving dinners Even though it toke forever making 1500 meals for winborne, Spanish, and Donaldson campus it was so worth it in the end.Then on Thanksgiving we hung out as a family with everyone there (which is pretty much impossible in our house) and with a special extra guest there also, this really great homeless guy we have been taking care for quite some time named JP. It was great having him join us for the holiday. In the past few weeks it seems like luck is defiantly not on our side. One of my older sisters got in a car accident a few weeks back so right now we only have 1 car for a family on six. 5 working (well now 4), 2 with college, and also trying to fit in sports. Lets just say it has been SO crazy trying to juggle the schedules but we have managed to do it with the help from some very amazing people. As if we weren't really short on money right now our computer decides to break so we have to pay for that too. And to finally top off my list a bad things happening, the place i have been working at is going out of business so for me that means no guitar until i can find another job :( But sense things have been so chaotic lately i am positive something good is around the corner we just have to be patient and wait it out -but hopefully it will come sooner then later :D

Hurricane of emotions

2007-11-18T22:09:00.001-06:00

OK well this morning we had just gotten back from helping with cooking for Christ at the church and god just hit me with like a holy ghost smack down. Things have haven't really been going so great in my life. Don't get me wrong i have an awesome life but i have been really tempted with some things lately. Its like in the past month the Devil has been really after my heart. Wednesday Pastor Mike talked about how everyone has there mats and getting real personal my mat is lust. Its hard to admit it but its true. I'm consumed with finding that right one right now that I'm not focusing on whats important, god. I am so focused on my plan that I'm not even giving him the time to tell me his plan. People can tell you to focus on god more then your perfect match but its so much easier said then done. I guess to be completely truthful I'm scared of my future. I'm scared that i am going to meet that Mr right and pass him straight up but god was just speaking to me. He said not worry because when Mr right roles around i will know it for sure. That perfect guy is out there i just have try my best and stay patient no matter how hard it may get and if i have problems with that that's why i have a support system to help me through it, The devil can try all he wants but i worship a god so much bigger that will help me through my problems. So all my support system out there thank you so much for the encouragement, you help me to get thorough each and every day and i love you more then you know. So know that i have poured my guts out in a post for the world to see I'm done for this post but believe me there will be more posts to come :D Stay amazing. xoxox

Say the Words

2007-11-17T09:46:00.000-06:00

Here are the lyrics to an awesome song i heard. Yesterday i was listening to my DC Talk CD and these words in this song just really hit home for. So here are the lyrics to Say the Words by DC Talk:

Silence is golden but these are the words That the world needs to hear
Terms of compassion will cause a reaction As love drives them near

But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride
Pretending we are blind to the calling
This is my point and case, if hate can be erased
With such a simple phrase, why are we stalling?

Say the words, say the words, say "I love you"
Say the words I long to hear
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" S
Say the words I long to hear

Some just assume we already know Of the love that they feel
Some have a heartfelt emotion
But never the words to reveal I think we all relate,
so why are we afraid To let our hearts convey what we're feeling?

There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed
And love can intercede if we're willing, so...

Say the words, say the words, say "I love you"
Say the words I long to hear
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you"
Say the words I long to

The word love, it was once overused
Back in the 70's the word was abused
But I refuse to let love be diluted
We can't allow physical lust to intrude it Or pollute it
cause there ain't no excuse
For the greatest gift of all to be abused
So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you
Don't be afraid of the words "I love you

Wow amazing huh? i really like when it,in the first verse, if hate can be erased with one simple phrase then why are we stalling? Why are we stalling? its hard to believe what the world as come to today but it has come to this and we can still change it. but instead of hating one another or getting jealous about what another person has why don't we just do best thing, just love like Jesus loved us. Is that so hard? Now I'm not saying I'm a saint because believe me I'm not. I have my moments when I'm far from perfect but i realize this and I'm trying change. So just think of how much better the world would be if instead of saying i hate you we just saying those three words, I love you.

As Crazy as it gets

2007-11-14T21:33:00.000-06:00

As most of you know yesterday one of the best bands ever, Hillsong United, rocked it out at Bethany South Campus. Right when i got out of school me, my mom, my sister, and my friend Austin headed down to the cooking shed to make some hot chocolate with Cooking for Christ for the event ( so yeah you better thank me for the hot coca :D haha ) Then we headed down to the church so we could get in early and man was it packed. Luckily we were in the first 400 by the door and got let in early because everyone was sweating up a store. After some difficulties with the seating i finally found a seat kind of close up and was pretty content there. I ended up siting by one of the coolest kids ever. His name was Teddy, he was 12 and from New Orleans. Teddy was the best. He had never heard of the band before and was alittle cautious about them at first but by the end of the night he was jumping right along with everyone else. The night was filled with awesome music, awesome worship, and of course awesome people. I forgot how good their concerts were. Even though I had some troubles come my way with one of my older sisters who got in a car accident that night everything was ok and it was defiantly something i would have hated to miss. So pray for me as usual and i will make sure to keep ya'll in my prays as well.

The Singing Bees

2007-11-09T16:42:00.000-06:00

Just to recap a little, a couple of weekends back we had the first ever women's conference called Live the Dream. I, sadly didn't get to go with my mom but i heard it was the best thing since sliced bread....yeah i know it must be really amazing because the sliced bread is the bomb :D just kidding ...well kinda but anyway I heard the sermons were phenomenal and it was just one of those couldn't miss things but the best part i heard was the singing bees. hmm i know you may be asking Stefanie, what are the singing bees? well the singing bees, in this case, are some crazy but awesome guys from our church who decided to bravely do what probably no man has ever done before and dress up as bees with skirts and tights and do a little dance. So for your entertainment here are the singing bees there selves.

Who knew bees could be so manly? lol i know i didnt :]

Sick as a dog

2007-11-05T19:00:00.000-06:00

Yep you got it right I'm sick. Well being the genius i am on Saturday, after church (which was awesome by the way) i decided that i wanted to go camping in the back yard with one of my older sisters. sounds like fun right? well you are very very wrong. See i have never actually been camping and even though its only the backyard i though it would be an adventure for me. After finally getting up the tent, we set up our stuff and everything was perfect but then we had a problem. It became cold and i mean cold! so we decided to throw in the towel and go back inside but the cold got to me so at this moment i am pretty sick. Don't worry now i will still go to refuge on wednesday. wouldnt miss it for the world, i just might not be my usual self. So prayers are needed. thanks and i will be praying for ya'll as well.

Seasons changing

2007-11-02T15:13:00.000-05:00

What is it about Christmas? I don't know if its the family and friends, the Christmas carols, the decorations, the hot chocolate or everything that just gives you special kind of feeling.I think that's why Christmas is the most loved holiday of the year. Just the whole celebration how can you not love it - well of course the coldness and get to you sometimes but its all worth it. People are always nicer and jollier around Christmas. The seasons are changing and i cant be happier.

So for you personal entertainment here is one of my favorite shows that i saw the other night on TV .
You just have to love that Charlie Brown!...and dont forget snoopy...you can never forget snoopy :D

Learing lesson of the day

2007-10-27T12:15:00.000-05:00

Hmmm i was just thinking today about how the times have changed so much. Today at the walk for diabetes, we [of course] walked, talked but that funniest part of the whole event was after the walk. We acted like idiots dancing with some of the little kids to songs like play that funky music white boy, YMCA, shes a brick house, and ice ice baby. I haven't had that much fun in a long time. So it got me thinking about how busy i am now and how much time i waste. Back when i was younger, I had all the time in the world to do whatever I want but now i barely have time to have fun. What happened? What changed? well i guess the answer to that question is time. I have to remember that no matter what, not to put more then i can carry on my shoulder. To have time to stop and smell the rose and to even play in them every once in while :D because to help other you first have to help yourself . -Life lesson of 10/27***

long time no posts

2007-10-20T13:53:00.000-05:00

Yeah yeah i know i haven't been posting alot lately but i have good reasons....

1) I am in charge of helping my school donate and volunteer with this walk called the walk for diabetes which donates money to a children and adult diabetes association for cures and making these kids dreams come true. I went to meet some of the kids we will be sponsoring and its crazy how young but hopefully they are. Its really a great cause and if you want to participate in it just get all the information from their website http://www.stepout.diabetes.org and if you end up going to it make sure to tell me at church or refuge so i can find you there and make sure to say hi and we can hang out together.
2) things have just been really boomin' in my life right
3) Today i went with the church down to Winborn Church aka the New Baton Rouge Dream Center to do alittle clean up. I got to hang out with some awesomely cool friends -some which i haven't seen in quite some time- and We got to clean up for God. It was great the we were able to give back to this community and in return receive so much ourselves. Just knowing that you changed some one's life is such an award.
4) Well this is isn't really why i have been busy but i am going to just stick this in for chase. Chase has been bugging me for quite some time to make a post about him so here it is. I have posted before about how i have bad luck with guys but one guy that is been in my life since like the beginning is Chase Cole. Chase Cole is the best guy you could ever meet and is love for god is undeniable. He is just crazy but one of the best people a girl could ask for in her life.
5) Friday i went to the St. Amant vs. Ea game which rocked since St. Amant won 38 to 7 and then after i went and said good bye to my old friend James Who i have known for ever but is moving to New York (i know there's one long trip for ya) I am going miss him so much but he gets to go show Jesus to New York so i am extremely happy for him a. So keep him in your prayers and i will be praying for y'all also. much love

-Stefanie

Some very random topics

2007-10-13T22:49:00.001-05:00

Well as the title says here is three random topics i am about to talk about. First of all the picture above this post is the cutest baby in the world, other wise referred to as Whitaker Tullos the baby of Tyler and Crystal Tullos- the most awesome jr high pastors ever. I just saw this picture and it was so adorable i couldn't help my self but post about it. If any of you are football fans [i am but i just run from the ball when playing lol ] LSU lost their undefeated strike tonight to Kentucky. bummer right? The game was crazy because LSU [#1] lost to Kentucky [#17] in the third over time. Well i guess you win some and you lose some. On another important note i finally got a cell phone. Don't you just hear the hallelujah chorus singing..lol so if you run into me anytime soon ask for the number and I'll be glad to give it to ya. Ahh unlimited texting, nights, weekends, and free calls to other cingular callers. The world can be so good sometimes.

Party Harty!

2007-10-08T21:07:00.000-05:00

My favorite 8 year old, Julia Ferrara, had her birthday party after church on Saturday and man was it fun. I can't even remember the last time i played in the playground at Mickie D's and now i remember why. Julia and Claire made me feel so old when they were speeding through the slides and tunnels and i was moving like a grandma. Besides that reality check it was great! Once Joelle, Claire, or someone puts up pictures of the event i will be sure to steal them for y'all to see [ yes i am stealer, well not most the time, unless its strawberries :D ] Oh yeah i went there Claire..lol . Who knew 8 year olds could be so much fun?

..........

2007-10-04T19:10:00.000-05:00

Lately i have been busier then ever. With school and friends, family, helping the walk for diabetes (which you better be there because i will Oct. 27th. ask me for more info if you want to :D.) , and much more. This weekend i have church, studying for exams, and of course Julia's party! -just to name a few things but today i was talking with my older sister, Alicia and she really just like slapped me in the face. I was telling her about how i have just been having quite a hard time lately with things and i have just been in like a rough patch. Then she just like hit me. Out of no where she just asks 'how many time do you laugh in one day' Of course i was like 'what?' and all she said was 'Just think about it'. So i did. She really got me thinking how many time do i laugh in a day? If you don't know me that well, i laugh like 24/7. I realized we all have good days and with those good days come bad ones too. Its like God is testing us in a way. To see if we can handle the bad and i don't know about you but i dont want to be the one to fail that test. I shouldn't complain about my bad day and my problems when in reality people have much worse problems then mine. Some struggle with money problems, or health problems, divorce,depression, etc. I actually have it pretty good. I have good health, a great family, awesome friends, and a pretty decite life, that may have some rough patches but i know i can get through them eventually . I should worry about Other's Problems not mine. Those are more important.

Boy Strike

2007-09-30T15:39:00.000-05:00

OK well here's that post i promised y'all earlier. Those of you who don't already know this about me and my awesome best friend Zoe, we are on boy strike! I know i know you are probably wondering what exactly is boy strike and why are you on it? well boy strike is well when we are on strike from boys..ha ha and we decided to do this because there are so many guys that want relationships for wrong reasons. Just so they can keep count of all the girls they "got", or because they want something from us. We decided that we aren't going to be one of those girls. The desperate ones that can't have fun unless they have a boy on their arm. Of course this was really put to the test over this weekend when i had the homecoming dance at my school. The dance was great and i am extremely proud to say i passed that test. I didn't let guys get to me because i know i don't need one in my life. I am just waiting until God gives me my dream guy, the perfect one for me, which i know he will but until then I'm just dating Jesus and i wouldn't have it any other way.

Link Love Baby!

2007-09-26T17:16:00.000-05:00

OK i added some new people to my blog roll lately. first of All there is Mrs Amanda aka Zoe's mom. This lady is so awesome you just gotta love her. Then there is Leah Fredrichs-that most of you know from Refuge. I Love Leah, she is so crazy and has a really funny leprechaun dance..ha ha sorry i just had to mention that and finally last but not least Amy Phillips. Who i just recently meet, even though we have been talking on the computer for awhile. Go check out all these blogs because these are some awesome people with amazing posts and hearts. Well i got to get ready for refuge so i hope to see y'all there and i'll leave an actual post later :D

Epic and Servolution

2007-09-22T16:41:00.000-05:00

Hmmm what to say, what to say. Well Friday i basically woke up at 8am. to help make food with the very gifted Cooking for Christ people - Well i helped a little mostly i just ate the food :D [hey what can i say i love food!] Then after going to the Baton Rouge Dream Center to pass out food we headed down to the Highland Campus to get ready for Epic Weekend. Filled with great worship, crazy-fun, and the Holy Spirit, It was just unexplainable. I had the best leaders - Amy Phillips, Leah Fredrichs, Tori Ohlerking- and the coolest roomies. Then this morning after staying up all night, we were extremely tired (well extremely is an understandment) but we still had enough energy to hit servolution, which was of course so much fun. We went down to the inner city and picked up all kinds of things, prayed for people, met some new friends, and had a block party! So to sum things up in the words the of the amazing Amy Phillips- Epic Weekend was was well E-P-I-C

Mechanical Bull anyone?? :]

Youth of the Nation

2007-09-17T19:02:00.000-05:00

The video under this post is a song called the youth of the nation by a band called P.O.D. Its a pretty old song so If you havent heard the songalready -listen to it because its got an amazing story. It just makes us think about whats really going on in the world. in one part of the song he says "..maybe this kid was reaching out for love, or maybe for a moment he forgot who he was..or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged What ever it was I know its because..". Its amazing that one person could change someones life or one moment could change an event in the future. This generation depends on each other. One life can change many like it shows in this song. We are the youth of the nation and what we do effects this nation's future.Its like Wow. its just got me thinking so i hope in some way it touches you too.

New things

2007-09-14T16:37:00.000-05:00

Well i am so excited because i just got the Audio Adrenaline CD
[even though its been out since August 28th ] and believe me i will be entertained for weeks. But like the title said i have some new people added to my blog roll. First there is Claire Ferrara. Claire rocks man! shes amazing and defiantly loves God. Then there is Julia Ferrara - but you better watch out if you ever meet her because shes got a mean karate chop! lol and then finally there is Mrs. Stephanie Musso. All of them are equally awesome people so make sure you check there pages out. I'll be posting more later so keep checking my blog for news and for those of you that will be at church tomorrow make sure you say hey. bye everyone!

Six whole years..

2007-09-12T21:35:00.000-05:00

Yes i know im a day late but its better late then never right? Well all day yesterday we were constanly reminded of that terrible event that occured six whole years ago and the truth is im glad they reminded us because in reality people forget, like i did and this event should not be forgotten becuase it deserves to be remebered. That day the US was reminded that we need God, to help us get through every moment of our life, to protect us, to be watching over us, and that came at a cost of people's lives and thats really sad that it toke people to die for us americans to realize how much we really need Jesus. The realtiy is that is could happen again tommorrow or the next day , so dont forget that we're never to cool for Jesus in our lives. We can use alittle common sense and wisdom. So my main messgae of this post is just to tell everyone not to forget but to remeber what occur, so we can give this wisdom to our kids, and they can give it to theirs.

One Way

2007-09-06T20:29:00.000-05:00

As many of you know yesterday was One Way. Gosh it was so beast! God was totally there, you could just feel him. The crazzy energy and amazing songs just rocked the house and i did make a big break through then. In the middle of worship, as i lifted my hands, prayed, and just looked at all the people around me, i just felt like a weight was being lifted off of me. It was like all the stress i had been feeling about school, friends, relationships,the dance coming up, and everything just fell off my back but one stress i was really glad to get rid of was stress about my older sister. See she hasnt been back to church in some time but now i know that God will get her back in church when the time is right.I just have to be patient. I was relieved and i really needed to feel that. I needed to know things will be OK and of course my best friend Zoe was there to help me and i was there to help her and i also had the comfort of some new friends to help the situation but i just felt like God was there and the funny thing is just before i came i was thinking about just skipping the whole one way for the night and going with my sisters to the mall but im so glad i didnt. Just that whole moment was unexplainable. All i can say is i am totally pumped for the next One Way. Bring it on because im ready!

One Crazzy Day

2007-09-01T21:02:00.000-05:00

well as you can tell from the tittle yesterday was one crazzy day. i decided after a long and tiring day at school i would go down to the church and help the cooking for Christ crew with some food. I love them all they are such awesome people but anyway we got there at around 4pm and didn't end up leaving until 9pm. I swear i cooked so many brownies - 1,200 exactly- that i felt fat just looking at them but boy did they taste good. i had like 10! Then Austin Wright came and we hung out, played basketball, and i had so much fun with his little sister; who is just adorable. We meet this little boy named Keenan, who i had to babysit. So we just played army and went down to get something to eat at Late Night. (Which looked so awesome but i couldn't stay because of ride issues) Once we got home i had some much deserves sleep and i think i will smell like brownies for weeks.

Oh and i am so excited because the last Audio Adrenaline CD came out on the 28th and it looks so good. I haven't gotten it yet but i will. you can count on that.

Message for my day: Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.

So this is what i need to focus on for now because i realize i am not ready for a relationship right now, so i am going to wait until god is ready for me to have one and even though it is going to be hard, i will stick by it and just date Jesus for now. Well now that you have have read my random thoughts I guess all there is to say is that's all folks! stay tuned for my next post. thanks for ready...

2007-08-24T18:44:00.000-05:00

2007-08-18T22:04:00.000-05:00

sorry for the delay in posting. lately things have been getting a little crazzy for me with school, friends, boys, and so much more. I have just had alot on my mind. High school is so different. You see the drama and you see these people you thought you knew and now there changing into something there not. i just hope that i don't do that. I hope that i just stay me because life IS to short for drama. Its to short to lose yourself, when you could be out doing so much more. I don't want to look back and wonder who did all those things, I don't want any regrets. At church we always hear change the world don't let it change you. well that's easier said then done but i think those who actually do it have alot of courage because in the world today, all time people are trying to make you something your not and the people who in the end can truly say they never lost themselves, there the winners. me? i just hope i can be one of those people and believe me i will try my hardest too. well there my whole soap opera for the day stay tuned for more. love ya'll ...

First day in a new planet

2007-08-13T19:01:00.000-05:00

OK well today was, as many of you know was my first day of school.
ahh school. getting lost, new faces, and a new string of emotions.
Most current emotion, confused. One of my friends asked me if i liked this guy and to be completely honest I'm not sure. Deep down i do like him but I'm just don't sure if i ready for a relationship right now. I realized that i need to focus more on God than any guy for the time being -he, the guy i sorta like, shall remain nameless- haha don't you just get all interested now :D

Then again at a new school you cant help but feel alittle out of the loop. I didn't know where half my classes are and who most the people are but that's what the year is for. To meet new faces and help show God in new and exciting ways. So I plan on bring tons of people to Refuge soon and even though i am flooding with many (and dare i say many) emotions i just plan on living the life God intended for me right now and God with sort out the rest.

And for the record St. Amant people put poles in weird places at that school. Just waiting for some poor and helpless girl to come crashing into to them..haha don't make fun of me but just in case your a little slow; that's me. and i must add that i was not the only one. i saw a few people do it too. well at least i hope so :p

Stay tuned for more....

random question

2007-08-09T19:26:00.000-05:00

like the title says this is random question that
has haunted me for awhile

what does a spiderpig do??

Ahhhh!

2007-08-09T19:12:00.000-05:00

school, school, school.
seems like it lasts forever but ends so soon.
i have to be honest i have been pretty nervous about starting high school and refuge and everything. its just alot of change at one time and if you know me I'm not a big fan of change but lately i have been becoming OK with it because i realized change isn't always bad. Middle school may be over but High school is just beginning. So I'm ready for whatever St. Amant brings. Let me at it!

High school- a new chance. to be bring people to Christ and show them the real me. No regrets just opportunities. amazing opportunities

Mexico Babe!

2007-08-07T12:45:00.000-05:00

well this post is going to be pretty long so if you don't like long ones id leave now. This past week i went with some people to Cuidad Victoria, Mexico here is how it went down.

Sunday: we left the Hpac @ 5pm and arrived @ a hotel in Harlington, Texas where we crashed and got some much needed sleep

Monday: pretty much the same as Sunday. we traveled the rest of the way until we hit the Panoramic Hotel in Victoria city. We meet the group and had an awesome service that really helped us understand why we wanted to be there

Tuesday: We did some team work exercises included trust falls, etc. Then we meet two girls named Ana and Karen who taught us some dramas and dances that we later performed for the city at the Plaza, which is the sports place in the center of the city.

Wednesday: We performed the dramas again but this time at one of the biggest poverty points in the city, Which is basically a big hill that is of all really poor people who actually have really big hearts.

Thursday: The day started off with a visit to the elderly home there and then later that afternoon we went to one of my favorite places which is a disabled orphanage. there is meet this little girl name Euilia who had one of the biggest hearts i have ever seen. she was amazing.

Friday: Free Day! yay! anywhoo we decided to hit the river. which as the funniest part of the visit. With the hiking and cliff diving it all added up to much fun. then we went down to the market to spend some buckaroos and just chill for awhile.

Saturday: What we thought would start off with a visit to the Orange and then a street kid home because the girls at the orphanage had a trip ended up with just getting some ice cream because the street kids had graduation. Later we went to learn about the culture.

Sunday: We went to church and then the youth group which is basically a pathfinders/refuge thing. the next couple days we said our tearful goodbyes and left for home sweet home and arrived at 3:30 am on Monday.

Big News! i cant wait for the last Audio Adrenaline CD to come out in stores. It will be out August 28th i think so if you want to help a girl out your welcome to it..lol just joking but ya'll should totally check it out.

This week has been crazzy. I have been studying my tail off for finals and my little sister Nikki had to go the emergency room because she had trouble breathing and her fever shot up to 103! Don't worry though it was just a virus that has been going and around and i think i did OK on finals.

But i have two more thing to ask:
Will pigs ever really fly??
Who really did let the dogs out
..hmmm these are the questions that haunt me!!

Guardian Angel

Everyday me and bestest friend Zoe -if you don't know her meet her. she rocks!-listen to her Ipod during the breaks in Summer Session because we are music freaks. but hey you gotta love us. One of our favorite songs in the world is called Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuits. Well today we listened to it about a thousand million time and a while the lyrics jumped on to me. The chorus says..

'I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all,
even if saving you sends me to heaven '

It really hit me that God is like that for us. He will always be there no matter what we have done, what we are doing, and what we will do. He will always loves us And we should feel the same way because he did save us and he would do it again if he had to. He loves us this much and we should love him the same way no matter what comes in our life's paths.

Mystery Trip of a Lifetime.

2007-07-23T19:42:00.000-05:00

Well If you haven't noticed this is my first blog. Whoa newbie! yes i know.

Anyways we just got back from the mystery trip yesterday with Navigate aka Summer Session And it rocked our faces off. Even though the trip up there and back seem like it lasted forever it was so worth it.The beach was so much fun.Gulf Shores baby!! After some crazzy -and i mean crazy- wrestling on the beach and tons of people gets hurt by jellyfish, skim boards, and each other we had a nice dinner at Lambert's. Which became not so nice when people started getting sick and Crystal accidentally eating a fish. Ahh i know nice end to a long summers trip.

But i think we all kinda came to notice that summer is ending and that was probably one of the last we would all hang out together and what better way to go out with a bang. All my fellow summer sessioners i love you guys don't change because ya'll are amazing and remember if you ever need me; I'm here.
