i have a lot to say...
i have a lot to say, but don't really know just what to say, or how to say it.... so i'll just freewrite....
i've had thoughts in my head today about the three stellar's jays i saw over the campfire this week.... right over me/in front of me. one flew in, then another.... then a third flew in, and the first flew away.... the the second flew away... then the third one ruffled its feathers and went all puffy like a blue fuzzball - no longer the majestic stellars but a fuzzy little chickie three times the size it should be... the it flew off an joined the others. and i just felt blessed i had seen them, y'know? i mean, three at once, on right in front of me~?!!! how kewl!
then i've had thoughts about how God is so amazing, and how He speaks through us in the prophetic is so amazing, and how He uses us feeble people to do His royal work... to declare His royal words..... like the dude on the cartoon castle watch tower calling out "it's three a.m. and all is well... and the fog is as thick as pea soup..."!!!
and i've had thoughts about how i get glimpses of God's big plan for my life, and when i try to figure it out it doesn't make logical sense... and so i just have to trust that DUH, not by my might or power but by His Spirit He's gonna do it so that MAKES it possible, y'know????
and i'm stoked about getting some fishing equipment and my salmon stamp in the next couple weeks hopefully... and doing some fishing... and wondering what the sun is going to do to my skin with all the time i've spent/will spend in the sun.... should i wear sunscreen and go with what the world says about avoiding skin cancer and slather on the chemicals onto my pourous, receptive skin, allowing carcinogens and neurotoxins to cross into my bloodstream transdermally, and blindly hope it's gonna prevent skin cancer?!... or just do as people for hundreds/thousands of years have done, just do what they gotta do, go where they gotta go, and trust God that everything's gonna be all right? .... i hear the ranks of churchianity crying out "be a good steward!"... but according to whose standards? the worldly medical establishment and pharmaceutical companies? /end rant, lol!
and i've been confused [and then not so confused once i heard from God about it], about my foray into 'secular' music.... (is there anything REALLY secular? can anything keep God out?) ....'oh i'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow'... this originally by an artist known to have converted to islam.... ACK! i hear accusations of 'why would you want to sing a strange song by a person who's life stands for something so opposite of your own beliefs?'.... well, when i'm singing it i'm thinking about God, His omnipotence, His providence, His plans and purposes for my life, that i'm going to trust Him with my life.... i'm not thinking about who cat stevens is, what He believes in, etc... i'm not interpreting it to hear the enemy's voice (he's blathering on all the time anyways!), i'm listening for God's voice alone!!!! and on monday night at prayer, feeling all confused, God used those lyrics to fill me with faith, to show me the big picture, and lead me in my prayers. .... if God can speak through someone's ass, He can speak through a secular song. i mean, at least songs have words in them... most donkey's can't even speak! which is the bigger miracle??!!!! lol
and i'm thinking that i'm amazed by what God is putting into my fingers and bringing out on the piano. truly, HE teaches our hands to war and our fingers to fight, and that's what He's doing in me right now, retaking illegally occupied territory in many ways, from secular music, to old memories that left me unable to play the piano for years..... and i'm amazed i even have a piano, a remnant of my old life, but it's proven to be something God has truly redeemed for this new life.
and i keep thinking of gracie this week, and crackin' up over and over again, remembering how she looked at my shirt and said, 'lots of boh-bees~!'.... i asked her, hoping maybe i hadn't heard right, 'lots of babies?' and she scrunches up her face like i'm a doofus and says, 'NO! lots of BOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!' ....... lol~!~!~!
and i'm thinkin' now that i need to get off my duff and go have my shower before i procrastinate any longer (i hate bathing!) and wind up going to cell with greasy hair, yet AGAIN! lol
and lastly, i'm thinking that my word verification for this post is pretty funny.... nupsz.... NUPSZ? are you going to write any more, lynne? 'nupsz'. are ya gonna go have yer shower now? 'yupsz'.

moonshadow
ok, this is the last one!
a song i'm listening to over and over again lately..... and it's going in my 'repetoire' (sp?) .... it makes me think of the providence of God..... how He lets shadows in our lives, but we can have victory over them, and if we keep His eternal plans in mind, our perspective of our circumstances entirely change. kewl, eh? all that, and it's a secular song, too! lol

passion in performance
finally found a postable version of this performance by Zayra Alvarez ("Razorblade"). i was blown away when i saw it on tv a couple weeks ago. and it's the one and only time i've seen that show, too! anyways, inspired me that i want to carry that kind of passion in my performances... but channeled in the right direction, of course. :)

crashing, crashing, crashing?
well, i've heard that my blog crashes some browsers, i'm thinkin' maybe it's my loooong photo posts? i dunno - anyhow, i've shortened my post list temporarily to 7 or some other small number until those posts are further archived (or, like now there is only one on the main page). sorry bout the crashin', chris. let me know if this helps, k? that goes for anybody. i'm a novice at web page design, so it could be that too. *sigh*
i'm tired lately. i spent all of saturday crashed in bed doing sudoku puzzles, gastrointestinal difficulties.... i danced like mad at church, but i really didnt feel good all day sunday either. today? it's past noon and i'm still in my jammies.
course, too, there is the decision of whether to move or not to move. friends say MOVE, mom says stay and bug the landlord. guess which seems like the less stress? moving. but then whats the stress? going against mom's advice. gack.
God's got His plans in all this, of course, with my health crashing once i got home again, when it was fine for so long on the trip, and then again camping at ackermans. [until the last day when i slept in the B-fam's tent (to avoid being alone in my tent with three burly guys camping down the road) which was full of bug spray - hives ensued, and a tight chest in the morning.]
anyways, i got a lead on a trailer for rent where my friend carrie lives, we'll see if i can work up the guts, work through the stress, to make the call to go see it - and sniff it.
sometimes i really just want to go live in a tent and breathe fresh air all the time.
but i don't like the idea of freezin' in the cold months, y'know? lol

Campin' Highlights (so far)
not home for good, just popped home for a shower and some more supplies....
a few highlights:
when i opened up my air mattress on saturday, it was full of mildew. some soap and water, a dip rinse in the lake and a few hours of direct sunshine took care of that (except for the stains).
inspired by a comment i saw on tv, i tried whizzing standing up... and believe it or not, it kinda worked. [yeah.....don't ask!] [ok, girls can ask, but only in private, lol!]
i didn't catch any fish yet, but will keep trying for my first! and i ate some of michelles catch, yum yum!!!!!
i swam in the lake, and it's the bestest lake for swimmin' in, ever. especially if you cross the creek and get to where the water is moving towards the river, it's so clear and clean..... yum yum.
i learned to never carry a child on your shoulders when you are walking through slippery mud. don't worry, nobody was injured, we just got reaaalllyy muddy.
chicken soup with asparagus and mushrooms is YUM YUM!
i have had no asthma problems while camping thus far!
i have even more of a tan now! how now, brown cow?
i discovered that using reflective silver emergency blankets to make a makeshift cooler really WORKS!!!! imagine using it IN a cooler?
i realized i am of the personality where i could kill an animal if i had to. that damn squirrel got on my last nerve and almost paid for it!!!! lol chicken coop, here i come!!!!! lol. i always wanted to see a headless chicken dance.
God is in control. i'm not going to get mauled by a bear, bitten by a tick, get headlice and have to shave my dreads off, get attacked by a leech, get bitten by a squirrel, or any number of hazards UNLESS IT'S HIS WILL. in which case, why fear what is in His perfect control?
hopefully mom and pam (and maybe her son!) will come out and visit us at the lake. whee!!!!!
and finally:
i missed church on sunday and i SURVIVED.
see y'all next sunday!

Who the Heck?
You Are Amy Lee! |
 Gothy, expressive, woman-in-pain Who looks damn good in a corset "When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears" |

Gone Fishin'! and Campin'!
" gone campin and fishin at ackermans point at the big cold lake hint hint come take a refreshing dip with us its sweet swimmin'~!! "

now for the bit guilt factor: i may ~may~ ~MAY~ miss church tomorrow. my legalistic 'must not miss church!' mindset rearing it's ugly legalistic head. lol. is God gonna beat me over the back if i don't want to use the gas to come in for church and go back out again after? nope. am i? i'll try! will the devil? you bet! so who'm i gonna listen to? God. am i gonna come in for church? maybe. if i only feel like i "should", then i won't. if i really want to come out of God's wonderful creation to worship Him in the sheep shed with the other sheep, then i will. lol.
but i plan on takin' my screamin' gui-gui-guitar, lol. have some church of our own! lol.
thank God for cd's of sermons! lol.
and i'm off, for more of this:
