And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here

There is no one like our god
There is no one like our God

Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done here

Pray for Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa Tornado

This is a video of the tornado that devastated Tuscaloosa, AL yesterday...
I have never been more scared in my entire life.
I was lucky enough to be in Birmingham when the deadly storm hit,
unfortunately many of my friends were still in town.
I watched on tv as the tornado tore through downtown, 15th street, and parts of McFarland Blvd.
Tears were streaming down my face as I prayed for the people I knew taking cover in Tuscaloosa.
By the grace of God, the people I know are alright and their homes are still standing.

I traveled to Tuscaloosa this morning.
The sights are unreal.
It looked as if nothing had ever even been built.
I kept hoping that if I squeezed my eyes tight enough that when I opened them everything would be back to normal.
That wasn't the case.
My apartment complex suffered minor damage.
However, my porch is destroyed. 
The storm was so strong that it stayed on the ground all the way to Birmingham and beyond.
It has be classified an EF4.

Classes are finished for the semester and final exams have been cancelled.
I should be happy that it's finally summer break.
But I would give this break back if it meant my city was still standing.

This used to be Hokkaido

Houses and office buildings used to be here. DCH Hospital wasn't visible

Small damage at my apartment

Aquarius / Let the Sunshine In - UA Resonance

One of my faves so far :)

I love my family!

A Dream Is A Wish...

The Resonance season is officially over :(

The show was a hit despite a rough beginning and I'm so sad to see it come to an end.

The shin splints, blisters, late night rehearsals, and failed tests (just kidding) were worth it in the end.

I think I'm still catching up on sleep...

This semester has been amazing.

I couldn't be happier to be back in this family.

I have met so many talented people and am blessed to have made so many friends in this group.

I can't wait till next year!

Skills.
I wish I had more shots from the show itself, but as they are posted to facebook, I'll add more. And vidoes too. I miss rehearsals already!

A Stressful Realization

I had a realization today that my days are about to get VERY stressful. I took a look at next week in my planner (something I should have done days ago) and noticed that I have four tests next week. Four. Two of them, Anatomy and Trig, are Tuesday, Computer is Wednesday, and CD 226 aka Lifespan Development is Thursday. The second part of my language sample is also due Thursday. OH, and the Resonance Spring Show is also Tuesday night. HEY stress, see ya NOW. I also have rehearsal for the show tomorrow night, Sunday, and Monday night dress rehearsal at the theater. As of now, Saturday is TBA due to the A-day game. Rehearsals usually last till 11:00pm which gives me time to go home, shower, and sleep. I can't even think about homework when I'm exhausted from dancing in red heels for hours.

I know I've blogged about stress before but this is a whole new level... Four tests and a weekend of rehearsals? Really? Lord help me to finish out this week, I can't do it without you.

Tomorrow will be devoted to work. Making flashcards, analyzing my language sample, working on my math study guide... And trying not to die in the tornadoes. I probably won't be able to go to the A-day game because I need sleep and more time to do work. Sunday I'll have church, a few hours to study, and then rehearsal at 7pm. Monday will be a lot like tomorrow with the added dress rehearsal and then the tests begin Tuesday...

Wish me luck.

Resonance Spring Show 2010- this is what I look forward too.
Tuesday night can't come any faster.



Crunch Time

The week is the beginning of "hell week" for the Resonance family.
The show is in 8 days.

We have a lot to get done vocally, visually, and emotionally.

Rehearsals could last till midnight this week.

Stress will be high, but in an exciting way.

The reward will putting on an amazing show

and getting to show off all of our talent and hard work.

I love this group.

I love the show.

I. Can't. Wait.

Words of Wisdom

Don't let other's perception of you affect the way you view yourself. Don't ever let your value come from earthly things. There will always be someone out there who is more talented than you or smarter than you & unfortunately you cannot always get every solo or opportunity thrown your way. Life is tough. That's the way society works. But it's important to rremember that your worth comes through the Lord and that you are of infinite value to Him. God's love is unconditional and is never based on performance. When your self esteem is at its lowest, Satan is at his strongest. Don't let Satan win. Don't let rejection define who you are. Be thankful for the value God places on you whether you get everything you want or nothing at all.

Perfectly Lonely

I've come to the conclusion that I am content with being alone.
Aside from the fact that in 40 years I will probably be that old lady down the street with too many yapping Chihuahuas... I have spent a lot of time by myself lately. And for once I'm ok with it. I've been alone at my apartment recently, sometimes by choice sometimes not, and it's kind of nice. I am able to watch TV peacefully, study, or just have time with my thoughts.
That being said I have become one of those people who is OK with being alone. I know some people hate, and even fear being alone but I'm not one of them. Don't get me wrong, I love to go out, spend time with my friends, and have fun. I love my roommate to pieces. But when forced to be by myself, it's not as bad as I once thought.
