Of Painting and a LAN party

Josh, Christy and I started painting the kitchen! =D It looks wonderful! Christy's going for a coffee house type of style in there. Soon we can add some colourful curtains for accent colours. We'll also paint the dining room a nice red colour above the trim and put a wallpaper below that will match it nicely. After the whole house is fixed up over time it will look absolutely marvelous! If you ever want to excersise your muscles, do some painting! =D


Friday night Josh hosted a Quake 3 LAN party for JD, Alex, Preston, Bion, and Sam. Hehe, it was fun to hear them all while they played. Whenever some one said "Oooh!!" you knew they'd gotten fragged by an opposing player. They played till just about 2 am. Christy and I went to Starbucks for a little bit while they were getting their games started. It was fun! She got a while vanilla Latte and I got a caramel Latte. We browsed through some of the things that were on sale too. They always have really good deals. Anyways, we got home and went into her room and watched an episode of a TV show we both like. After that I went into my room and read until about 2 am. (Yeah, yeah, I know, "Bad Jessica" as some might say) Anyways we all had fun that evening. =)

Musings

Today I saw a double rainbow as Mom and I were leaving the Mall. It was absolutely stunning! The sun was setting, and to the east there was some rain sprinkling down and it was grey and periwinkle blue behind the rainbows, with their vibrant colours. Then when you looked the opposite direction it was just a magnificent array of beautiful purples, pinks, a bit of grey, and orange. I got to thinking of how wonderfully creative our Lord is by putting those opposite colors together to make the rainbow look so marvelously brilliant and to make the sky all around so beautiful. Even the shapes of the clouds were perfect in their places! This song came to mind as I was writing this out.

You Do All Things Well

Mountain maker
Ocean tamer
Glimpses of You
Burn in my eyes
The worship of heaven
Fills up the skies

You made it all
Said, "let there be"
And there was
All that we see
The sound of Your voice
The works of Your hands
You do all things well

Star creator
Wind breather
The strokes of Your beauty
Brushed through the clouds
Light from the heavens
Touching the ground

Imagination runs wild
And breathes the breath of life
Across the fields
Across the miles

You made it all
Said, "let there be"
And there was
All that we see
The sound of Your voice
The works of Your hands
You do all things well


Praise the Lord! He does do all things well.

A New Niece!

Yaaay! I'm excited to report that Annie Rose Hewitt was born today and she was 18 inches long and 6lbs 2oz, born around 2:00 pm today! She is very very sweet. We still can't decide who she looks most like, but she's pretty much a good mix of both her parents. =D Christy and Josh are very proud and happy parents of their little first born daughter.

So...

The move went well! The IT guys helped put things into the truck, and stuffed it! It was only a 17ft truck. Hehe. I don't think we had too much stuff since we downsized quite a bit. Mom and Dad were able to get donuts for everyone! They were tastey. Anyways, yeah, so it went really well and now I'm over at the Hewitts and Patrick is at Sam's place. There's da scoop for ya!

Da Big Move is Today!

Yep! I can't believe it's finally here... I'm just about to pack up my Mac actually. Then I'll finish things up in the room and see what Mom and Dad are doing. They're going to get donuts for when the IT guys come to help move the big stuff. Katie and Christy will be over soon too! =D I'll be spending the night at Cally's. It'll be a lot of fun! I'll post again soon and tell ya all about the move.

=D

Fruit loops are a wonderful thing. Everyone should have some at some point. =D They're just so colorful! O=)

Good Song

...To all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing
And there is no one who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary,
Love for the broken hearts
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus

...When you're lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out,
You just cry out to Jesus

Cry to Jesus
