My life quickly updated.

Funny how life just moves on ... sometimes even without you. Time just doesnt seem to wanna wait. No matter how many watches you refuse to wear. No matter how many clocks you unplug. No matter how many calenders you put away. No matter how many days you refuse to write in the next pages of your diary.

I am 27 years old now. Wow, how time flys! I decided to start writing in my blog again when I came across a friends blog. I thought.. maybe I should start writing again.. maybe I could entertain a few of my friends with parts of my life they are missing! haha

So, some updates...
1) This past March I got ENGAGED! Wowsers! Michael Gillet and I are to tie the knot June 19, 2010! Crazy! To think that we were great friends in highschool.. who would of thought that we would finally ever date??? None the less be getting married. Go figure, life is so funny at times. You never know what it will hold in store for you.
2) Still attending Azusa Pacific trying to get my BA in Music. I should be graduating 2011! Fingers crossed.
3) I am an auntie again! My brother and sis in law had their first child! His name is Caleb Reed Edwards! And he is precious!!!!!
4) Taking engagement photos Aug. 22nd. That should be exciting!
5) Also reserving the church WE are getting MARRIED in TODAY!!!! YAY! one more step closer in getting the BIG day PLANNED!

Thats my life right now in a nut shell so to speak. My summer has been pretty dull. No job.. the economy is bad all around. Plus no one wants to hire someone who is leaving to go back to school in a month or so! LAME! But I am thankful. The Lord has made sure that I am taken care of right now.
Till next time!

Perfect love!

So, I was reading 1 John chapter 4 last night because I felt that I need to go back to learning about Gods love and how to love others.  I find myself recognizing that I am confused about love because of my past.  I have been raised to look at love differently than most.  I guess you can say I have a warped view of love.  I don't know how to love the way Jesus has loved.  I get uncomfortable around men.. (I guess you can say that I feel every guy has bad intentions) I need to learn how to love other men and women as my brothers and sisters in Christ.  I need to start at the basics and learn God's perfect love and allow his love to transform my heart.  Let his perfect love melt away my past insecurities and teach me to love my neighbors as myself. 

I read through 1 John chapter 4 several times, and I woke up this morning with a bit more than when I fell asleep.

Listening to Magic Flute..

I am listening to The Magic Flute Act 1 on YouTube!  God Bless technology! I am able to watch some great opera over the internet for free.  Pretty awesome!  I am having so much more passion for opera.  My plan this semester is to start a listening project.  I am planning to listen to an opera a week and study the composer/lyricist during that week.  I am also going to listen to symphony orchestras more often.  Either it be on the radio/live or over the internet.  I have to be knowledgeable of my craft, of all the classics. 

So far The Magic Flute is great.  The vocalists have very powerful instruments and have substantial stage presence.  I am listening/watching a university production. But, it's better than I would of thought. 

Today, I have so much to do! But I woke up late. But, I will get it all done.  I have lots of homework and church at 5pm and D group dinner at 7pm.  

Adios off to work.

What's been going on..

So, I have not been writing much.. I have fallen off the horse of writing!  I decided it's about time I saddle back up and jump back on that.  

Update:  I am still attending Azusa Pacific University and studying Music. It is by gods grace and gifts that I am able to be at this school.  So I am very blessed and grateful.  School is ruff because I have so much to learn and catch up on.  I am basically starting from the bottom of musicianship and making my way up.  It's hard but I am pushing through and striving for excellence.  I still struggle with my insecurities and depression but I manage to pull through.  I believe I am saved through his love and grace.  That's what really pulls me through and gets me going when I am down.   

I am going to make a point of it to write more.  Let's hope I keep doing this!
