The other side...

Every day it seems that I turn another page,
And it feels like the heartache fades a little more away,
I look in the mirror and I like what I see, 
Hey you didn't take that much, baby, out of me...  
Something proud and something strong, 
Fills the absence of a memory that's dead and gone...  
[Chorus] 
I do believe I'm crossing over, 
I feel that weight come off my shoulder,
I close my eyes, and I drift over To the other side... 
And lord I swear I'm crossing over, 
I found the strength to let you go, 
And the thought of you, 
is getting colder and further from my mind... 
And I think I've crossed that line- to the other side... 
Lately I find, when I'm walking through town, 
I don't have to turn away, 
I don't have to look down, 
If I should see you with somebody new, 
Well, I might get sentimental, but I'll make it through...  
Something real and something right, 
Puts the shadow of a doubt in a different light....  
[Chorus] 
I do believe I be crossing over, 
I feel that weight come off my shoulder, 
I close my eyes, and I drift closer, 
To the other side... 
And now I swear I'm crossing over, 
I found the strength to let you go,
And the thought of you, is getting colder and further from my mind... 
And I think I've crossed that line- to the other side...
Something real and something right, 
Puts the shadow of a doubt in a different light.... 
[Chorus] 
I do believe I'm crossing over, 
I feel that weight come off my shoulder,
I close my eyes, and I drift closer To the other side... 
And lord I swear I'm crossing over, 
I found the strength to let you go,
And the thought of you- is getting colder and further from my mind, 
And I think I've crossed that line- to the other side!  
I love Deana Carter she has been one of my favorite Country artist since I can remember.
I put on her C.D. because I figured I hadn't listened to her in a long time and this song was the very last one on her C.D. and I thought to myself, hmmm, yes FINALLY I am crossing over, and it feels gooooooood so good!!!!!

One more random little thing could anyone who reads this put a prayer up for Greg Laurie (the pastor at Harvest church) and his family and all of the people at Harvest that knew his son Christopher. He passed away today due to a car accident on the 91 freeway. He has a wife named Cathy a little girl and one on the way that's due in October. I can't imagine the aching in their hearts for this loss, it breaks my heart. Pray that God keeps them strong and that the devil does not get a foothold on them in this horrible tragedy, thank you.

Dima and Sahar...


Kelsey, Tamara, Sahar, Sarah, Dima and I with our best friend bracelets on. We all got matching bracelets before Kels and I left.

Our last day with the girls, so sad to leave!

The bracelets!!

Me, Dima and Sarah (Dima's little sister) eating at the yummiest place in Jordan called Jerusalem!

Sahar, Kels me and Dima all had the same glasses so we had to take a picture!

Us trying to take a picture downtown but we were all laughing!

Kels, Peter, Dima, Sarah, Sahar and I had to take a picture with Peter because he had our matching glasses too! We met him randomly walking downtown and he heard me talk and stopped me and asked where I was from turns out he is from D.C., pretty cool!


As most of you know I took an amazing journey to Jordan, the Middle East this past May and had the experience of a lifetime! Today I woke up and was actually down in the dumps because I missed Jordan so much and my friends out there. I got on facebook and checked my page and had two picture comments from Dima and Sahar, two girls I had met in Jordan and became very close too, I got so excited to hear from them! About two minutes passes and Dima messages me through facebook, then Sahar did and I was glowing with happiness! I was talking to both of my friends in Jordan that I had been so upset about and missing! God works in the craziest ways, He knew just hearing from them would make my heart at ease and feel at peace! I talked to them for about an hour each and let me tell you it was a great talk! I heard all about Dima's graduation party and how much fun they had, they told me how much they wished I was there and all the girls missed me sooo much, which was so nice to hear because I miss them! I went on to ask them about Islam and got to learn a little bit more about that and it's always great to learn more about other religions and cultures. I also got to bring up my faith and I found out Dima has actually read some of the Bible and has a lot of Christian friends which is amazing to know! I know I just got to keep praying that God will give me the right words to speak LOVE to them because I care for them and love them so much! I am so excited right now I could scream, haha! I know I should never doubt God and what he has planned for me or those girls. I know I will continue to doubt through out my life but it's time like these that God shows himself so clearly how can I not believe??
