Ramblings from Liz

This is My Prayer in the Desert.

I feel like I am in a dry time of my life. I hate these blah moments. I hate living day by day feeling purposeless and without a mission. But I trust God will make something of it.

Lord, please visit me in the desert. Use me. Show me my mission for 2009.

"Desert Song" - Hillsong

This is my prayer in the desert

When all that's within me feels dry

This is my prayer in the hunger in me

My God is the God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire

In weakness or trial or pain

There is a faith proved

Of more worth than gold

So refine me Lord through the flames

And I will bring praise

I will bring praise

No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice

I will declare

God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle

When triumph is still on it's way

I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ

So firm on His promise I'll stand

All of my life

In every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest

When favor and providence flow

I know I'm filled to be empited again

The seed I've recieved I will sow

Boot Hunt.

I have a tendency to do this--going from one mall to another in search my size of something I want.

I did it this summer with a skirt. I seriously tried like 4 or 5 malls before I found my size. And when I finally tracked it down, it was way cheaper than I was planning to pay for it! Yay!

This week, I fell in love with a pair of boots. These boots:

(but I wanted them in gray.)

Anyways, since I didn't buy them the day I spotted them, I thought I would go back to the mall the next day to get them. When I got there, they were out of my size! I was so bummed! The lady checked for me and found that they were pretty much running out of my size in like all the nearby malls.

I checked a few other stores to see if they had similar ones, but they didn't...so I was disappointed.

When I got back to Riverside today, I decided I'd try the mall here. Ashley and Kylee came with me (yay for shopping company!) and I walked to the shoe section very frantically. I spotted it on the display. I picked it up and looked at the bottom. "Only size 5 and 6," read the sticker. Oh no! But I wear a size 7! Or a 6 1/2 at the smallest! I walked up to one of the workers and before I even say anything, he says, "That [size 5] pair that you are holding is the only one left." NO! "But the sticker says you have a size 5 and a size 6," I tell him. "Oh, let me have someone check for you."

The guy he sent to check comes back with a box. YES!! The excitement starts building. He found a size 6! I pull off my shoes and pull on the boot. It fits!! Yay! Ashley notices the tie thingy on the back is missing. I ask the lady at the register and she tells me that they'll give me 10% off cuz of it. Oh well, that's easily replaced. She fidgets with the computer for a while and keeps accidentally putting the discount twice. She gives up and lets me have it. On top of that, I have a 15% off coupon!! YAY! So I got my boots for a grand total of $27.

Today is a wondrous day!

So that is my incredibly long, dramatic boot hunt story for ya. =]

Dumpster Diving

No Comments »

we've been up and down this road
we put a knife in the fork
we've seen the sun we've seen the storm
baby what are we running from
the lighting struck and left a glow
it's hard to let some things go
we know what's false but don't know what's true
baby where are we running to?

(lyrics from "dumpster diving" by castledoor)

Seriously, this is like my new favorite song.
