There You go changing my plans again
There You go shifting my sands again
For reasons I don't understand again
Lately I don't have a clue
Just when I start liking what I see
There You go changing my scenery
I never know where You're taking me
But I'm trying just to follow You
It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into Your will
And it's out of my hands
There You go healing these scars again
Showing me right where You are again
I'm helpless, and thats where I start again
I'm giving it all up to You
Move me, make me
Choose me, change me
Send me, shake me
Find me, remind me
The past is behind me
Take it all away
Take it all from me, I pray
-Matthew West "Out of My Hands"

update:
i had fun at camp. to learn more, ask.
my Grammy died July 15, 2004. i miss her more and more each day.
the funeral was a nice time to cry and reflect. jenn, chad, dave, and erik were all there.
i am so grateful for that.
road trips from st. louis home are wonderful, smelly, open-up-to-your-friends, squished-in-a-backseat, more-fun-at-dunkin-donuts-than-i've-ever-had times. i love my friends for helping ease the pain.
erik and i are on a break. for how long, God knows. i trust Him with it.
my best friend leaves on Monday. i miss him already. he is full of advice and wisdom that i am so grateful for.
i leave one month from today.
my life is one big change.
Jesus is my constant source of love.

You know what's funny about summer? All the days seem the same. I never really know what day it is, they all just seem to blend together into one giant weekend. Except for Sunday. That day I can figure out.
David came home on Monday. Yaaay. Sarah went to meet him at the airplane port and spent the night there. At the Ridley's, not the airplane port. Good times were had by all, I'm assuming. It's always a party at the Ridley's.
Zach (7), Andrew (4) and Bailey (2) Shmitz came down to the barn on Tuesday to ride. Quite the experience I must say. It was fun though and they all "helped" me clean Spot's stall with dustpans afterwords. I'm glad they got to come. After that I went to the mall with David, Dayna, and Sarah, and Dayna and I bought matching Nalgene bottles cause they were on sale at EMS. We even got free splashguard thingies. Then we went to Dunkin Donuts, Target, and Stop and Shop to buy liquid starch. Well, not at Dunkin Donuts. We were just there for sugar.
Last night I was supposed to have practice but our coach got called to umpire a game in New Britain. Another Wallingford team needed players for their game though, so I headed over there. They had about 14 girls show up so I wasn't really needed, but I stayed to watch. Ben called me after to hang out since he is living in Cheshire this week helping take care of Brian, an 18 year old that has Down's syndrome. He seems like a really cool kid from what Ben said. I would like to meet him at some point this summer. We really had no idea what to do, so we called Jon Polce and we all went to see Spiderman 2. It was good, I guess, but there was a lot of drama in this one.
Off to see what today brings.
