| When winter turns to spring, its easier for my heart to be light. The cold of the winter is melting away, and with it comes the fresh sunlights, warm rays and beautiful flowers.
When winter turns to spring, change is happening. For as much as I love spring, I always hate change. Just sitting in the lobby of Wonders gives me tremors in my heart as I listen to the lofts being taken down, friends saying goodbye, and faces being lost forever. For as much as I love the summer months, I hate saying goodbye, and the loneliness that is sure to come from being so far away.
When winter turns to spring, I look back at the year that has passed. Trials that seemed to pile one on top of the other...it doesn't matter though, God was still faithful through them, and for as many times as I was sure I wouldn't make it through the week, I still did, and I am still breathing.
I leave on the 18'th of May for Spain. I will be spending the summer in Santander, Spain. I couldn't be more excited and more terrified in the same breath. Before I can even think about leaving though, I must press through yet another set of finals, yet another moving day and yet another visions week. More talks through conflicts, probably a few more tears, and yet probably more laughter as well.
Once more, I leave this post in good faith that tomorrow I will still be saved, and that is all that matters.

| So the other day, I learned something at work:
Never offer someone a quarter.
A lady who I was waiting on was paying her bill and paying the even amount by counting out pennies, dimes and nickles to get exact change. Trying to be nice/make a joke at the same time, I offered to give her a quarter so she wouldn't have to pay with pennies. Instead of laughing with me or even smiling, she abruptly answered "no". So I walked away. A few minutes later, my manager pulled me aside and told me that this lady had gotten ridiculously upset because I offered her this quarter. This had made her feel "poor" she said and was throughly offended by me. The manager told me to go up to apologize to her, which I did trying to explain that I was just trying to be nice, but she would hear none of it, insisting that what I did was rude, and I had ruined her night.
What exactly is this world coming to?

| hello world,
my name is Katie. I like blue clicky pens, and stuff that make my
fingers stick togather. i love to sing outloud, and dance when no one
is looking. i love the color blue. I love journaling, and reading what
i have wrote in the past. i love old movies, and reading the Bible. i
love laughing, and hate crying. i love reading. i like smiling faces,
and getting an answer right on my physics homework. i love naps. i love
old school christian boy band music and relient k. i love updating my
xanga. i love blue skies and waking up in the morning. i love good
dreams and church. I love God.
I wrote the above 2 years ago, right before spring break. 2 years later, the above is still true. 2 years later, I would still hop around from couch to couch while singing broadway musical songs, after watching boy meets world. Its so good to realize that while I feel like I've changed a lot in the last 2 years, really, i'm still the same quirky self. Really no matter what I live through, the Lord is faithful, and he loves this quirky-selfed character (aka me).
What I'm really trying to say (with a whopping total of 2 years worth of wisdom), is that , days may be blue (aka happy) or days may be blackish/brownish (aka sucky) but the Lord will see you through Blackish/Brownish day, and bring you back to Blue. And you will realize once again, that life is gone full circle. So if life is Blackish/Brownish today, hold tight, and praise the Lord because you never know when life will switch back to Blue again. And if today is Blue, praise the Lord.
Love
The one who misses the fad of xanga...
aka, Katie

| I sit here in my chair for about the 8'th hour of the last 24 hours, and I can't help but think to myself:
This feels amazing...
(And once hitting the italics button on this xanga page, it doesn't seem to want to return to normal, so forgive me).
2 Weeks of Christmas vacation have already passed, and I feel wonderful. For the first time in months I am relaxed, and rested. Last night at work, we were so slow...but it did not deter my good mood, instead I skipped around trying to bring joy to my coworkers (or driving them crazy, who knows).
Did you ever wake up one morning and think to yourself "Thank you Lord for giving me the ability to be able to climb up out of bed"?
B/c you can, but someday you might not be able to.
Did you ever get up and realize that you have the world at your fingertips and you can do just about whatever you want to. I mean it, lets move to another state...just because we can. We don't have to, but we could if we wanted to.
My house is a mess. Neither Leah, Mark nor I feel like actually getting up for long enough to clean up. Not that we don't have enough time on our hands...we just don't feel like it. And for the first time, we can get away with not cleaning up (at least for another 24 hours until my other housemates start coming home).
Christmas break also seems to be a great time to dream big. I have a lot of traveling to do. I look forward to the rest of my life. But I'm also excited about today and the things I have the chance to do in it.
All this rest will last for another week, and then off to school once more. But, thank you Lord for a bit of rest for now.
With school tho, I feel, will come many other adventures....
