Q&A

He said, "people have this typical view of love, happiness, beauty and the sort, like it has to be defined to be accepted."

What is your view on love, happiness and beauty? Do they have to be defined to be accepted?

Lord I believe in You

Giving praise to the One who brings me joy. The One on whom I know I can always depend.

Lord I believe in You

Crystal Lewis

Though I can't see Your holy face

And Your throne in heaven above

It seems so far away

Though I cant touch your nail scarred hands

I have a deep and unspeakable joy

That makes my faith to stand

Lord, I believe in You

Ill always believe in You

Though I cant see you with my eyes

Deep in my heart Your presence I find

Lord, I believe in You

And I'll keep my trust in You

Let the whole world say what they may

No one can take this joy away

Lord, I believe

Born from above

You are Gods only chosen one

Youre the one and only true way

To the Fathers heart

You died for all sin

Then you rose and now live again

Conquering death and the grave

So that I might live

Lord, I believe in You

I'll always believe in You

Though I cant see you with my eyes

Deep in my heart Your presence I find

Lord, I believe in You

And I'll keep my trust in You

Let the whole world say what they may

No one can take this joy away

Lord, I believe

and the blessings keep pouring in !!!

My mother met him and SHE LOVES HIM!!!!

My mother is a very sweet person, she's totally awesome and she is VERY protective off her offsprings which can be translated into her being strict.

She has never really met mon ami and of course she was skeptical, ' I have to meet him!' So today was the day. I was so anxious, scared, nauseated. I mean if she didnt like him my life would be bad I'm so crazy about him I dont want to hear that we cant be friends. But she met him and she adores him which is TOTALLY AWESOME!!! They talked for a loooong time and joked ... she even invited him over again, she's even gonna cook for him!!! I'm still in shock. I mean I figured she'd like him just not this much. Too bad I can marry him :-(

All in all... Praise the Lord God Almighty!!!

LIFE IS GOOD!!!

A very HAPPY Squirrel

LIFE IS GOOD!!!

THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

My summer break hasn't been the best I've had but still it has been great. From the road trips to the belly laughs generated from hanging out with my family to sleeping in, it's been good. Intially I had expected this summer to suck since I had no plans for my free time. I still kinda wish I had a more productive holiday but hey... this works!

Today I got my package from the school I'm supposed to be attending in the fall and I'm sooooooooooooo excited despite the fact that I'll have to wake up at 5 am!!! I'm definitely looking forward to starting school, to being back in the lab. I miss the test tubes, pipettes, and the gloves... ahhhhhh... my happy place second to actual patient care. My schedule is actually very strange and kinda scary but you gotta do what you gotta do, so you can do what you wanna do. I have two classes per day!!! sounds good huh? well..... one if from 8 30-12 and the other is from 1-4 so they'll be looooong. My butt is already hurting just thinking about it. However, whatever pain that will be the result of being in class that long should be relieved by mon ami's presence. LOL. That's just icing on the cake.

Well, I'm off to enjoy the rest of my vacation.

peace and love :-D

20 year old wisdom...

In my twenty years on this earth I have learned a lot of things. There are many things that I've seen, heard and done that were sooooooooooooo cool and that I'd do again in a heartbeat. And there are things there I've seen, heard, and done that I wish never happened and do not wish to have a replay of.

Things that fall in the ' please replay' category:

• Spending many days in elementary school staring at my then best friend Nicholas and having him stare back and smile at me. (He was sooooooooooooooo cute)
• Grade six Christmas concert!!!
• High school (specific days ONLY)
• All the 'moments' Neville and I had :-D
• Homecoming '06.
• My 16th, 18th, 19th birthday.
• Rita, Nyketa and I running around Coastal Georgia Community College acting like kids!!!
• Leadership conference 2006 (I'm still sorry for complaining about the state of the room Rita but it was dirty,and smelly, that was rude, they should've cleaned the room. ooops, still complaing... sorry)
• Shopping with Rita on Friday afternoons.
• Hanging out at the pier and Zuzu's. Oh and of course Wally's world.
• Working at Lung Associates and hanging out with McDreamy at the hospital.
• Organic Chemistry and Genetics class this past Spring.
• The time I spent with Homan admiring his intelligence, laughing at his craziness, and braiding his hair.

(there are so much more but I don't have time to list them...)

Things that fall in the 'DO NOT REPLAY' category:

• Wearing my socks up to knees the first week of high school!!!
• Slipping and sliding in the mud in the 9th grade in front of Ricardo. (talk about embarassing! I had a HUGE crush on the guy)
• The day Hilare and Chris printed the evil love poem claiming it was from me to Ricky and distributed it around the entire school!!! I would never write that crap. I write better peotry than that!!!
• The convo I had with Neville about migrating :-(
• Prom... 'nuff said

During the past two decades I also learned some very important lessons. Here are a few that I'd like to share with you:

• Choose your friends wisely the have a GREAT impact on the person your are and the person you will become.
• Stay close to positive people, people that can help you. Avoid negative people, they will ruin you.
• Set goals, work hard to acheive them and NEVER let anyone tell you can't accomplish them.
• Remember all the compliments you get. Forget the bad remarks.
• Music is goooooood soul food.
• Don't be afraid to love someone.
• Don't be afraid to let someone love you.
• ALWAYS put God first and EVERYTHING else will fall into place.

Finally here are my goals for the next 20 years:

1. Attain a M.D/PhD degree.
2. Be a successful Critcal Care Doctor specializing in Pulmonology.
3. Marry my prince charming (If we find each other...) and have 2 children.
4. Open a school for disadvantaged children where EVERYTHING will be free of cost to them.
5. Write a novel.
