Desoto Jones (great South Jersey based band) rings in loud on my speaker today. It's been a while since I've posted but lots has happened. A VERY eventful weekend to say the least but I'll keep that under wraps. Ohh, a friend of mine from church and I made shirt purses. I'm sporting the orange one I made..it's a shirt for the race against racism. WOW MOM WOW.
So really..what I wanted to say today is tonight I'm starting my own thirty hour famine. I'm very nervous but I know that I can do it with the help of the Lord. I am excited to be open for so much witnessing in the next day and a half. I've decided to do it because as most of you know I'm leaving the country this weekend for two weeks on a mission trip. I feel like I will have a deeper connection to the Lord if I can give a day of myself to him. I hope work cooperates. I have a lot to get done in the short time frame but I think it can happen.
I think that's all I got for now..wings tonight! I miss you girls at home ;(
Lions and Tigers and Bears...
Goodbye
Kswan out!

A purple posted told me to..
Warning: This blog may contain information that is hard to follow..best of luck.
I love today. Not for any one reason or really any reason at all but it's just my outlook. Today while I'll sat in the pew at bible study I realized I am growing up. Yea, I understand that it's still easy for me to turn on and off the immaturity button but at least I know how to do that. I feel like witnessing more. My daily devotion was a good inspiration today too. I'm really happy with where I am at in this stage of life..last year right now I would've told you the complete opposite. How the Lord provides is so amazing.
Wing night was good Tuesday, too before I forget. My roommate, church friends, and college friends were all together annd I had honey BBQ wings which made me feel more at home :) Work is well...oooh so busy! We have another new intern, I think there's still one left to come but I'm excited for the season I think we have a really great group. A lot of us have already bonded. So back at the busyness...I have two meetings tomorrow. I'm nervous but I know I can pull it off. God will never give you more then you can handle...can anyone teach me some Spanish? Haha--T-minus two weeks till Honduras!! I'm sooo pumped.
So my wish for tomorrow is for someone to challenge my faith. I am armed and dangerous with a joyful noise and I'm not afraid to use it. I asked for prayers for my boss at church tonight..she seems really stressed but I hope that God pulls through so when everything is back to normal I can say..I was praying for you* That's the best way to witness.
Warmth is love and so is God let Him clothe you in the Holy Sprit.

when it's cold outside I got the month of May
Buuuuur. I woke up this morning and went to the gym like always. It wasn't even really snowing when I left but then I went out to get in my car and it was like a blizzard. Wow..how crazy. It took about 45 minutes to get to work which is about 2 miles away..and the best part is this weekend it's supposed to be in the fifties! Isn't that something?
Random email I got from my friend Gina I couldn't help but share.
FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days.The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days. The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, "Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays."The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned.You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!
This is too good not to forward.
Hello Heather! I'm super excited you're my first follower and I miss you loooots! Come visit.
Anyway--today was really good. I think that I am lucky to be around such great people and a variety of different ones. I had a great chat last night and I feel like I am going to be of help to someone just as much as they will be of help to me. I don't know how..either way..but I can just tell. Oh, and I went sledding tonight. How fun was that! I wish the other interns would've come but my college friend was out with her girlfriend and roommate and some guy haha. All in all super fun!
I'm sleepy today and I get my out of the countryish shots tomorrow, I'm kind of nervous actually even though that sounds silly. I hope everyone has a "clap it out" kind of day tomorrow (even though I don't know what that means.)
S.O.S. Shine on Sun. (I had a really great sun shiney picture from San Diego but my computer didn't want to use it.)

Joshua 1:9
Today's rough my heart isn't in PA today. I don't know about you but I thought it was weird that we had snow last night. Isn't spring supposed to be here soon..I don't know the little saying for March but I do know that it has nothing to do with snow. (What am I talking about?!)
Soooo yesterday I was at the home show in Harrisberg most of the day. I had a good time, apperances are a fun part of the job..until I get sick of them sometime later on in the season (which is what everyone says will happen.) Anyway..I had a pretty good conversation yesterday about the Bretheran. It's nice being here and knowing people my age I can hangout with that are Christians. Not that I am against non christians by any means sometimes it's just nice. I love God! Really ALOT! ;)
Also last night I started doing one of those all about me books with my roommate and her friend..theres already stuff I learned about myself. I guess the next section we're working on is the memories part..wow some pretty deep stuff haha. I was suprised that alot of my answers had to do with religion but it was nice to see my roommates friend was the same way.
So- we went to dinner at Olive Garden yum! Saw a friend from work and my roommates friends friend was our waitress, fun stuff. Then another friend from work came over but I couldn't keep my eyes open much longer it was such a long day.

Today church didn't really do that much for me but I'm sure after I read through my notes I'll pick something up. As everyone left today I sat in the back right pew and read Joshua 1. For some reason it just seemed like the right thing to do. I cried a little: short, drenching bursts but tonight I'll be with all of my buddies so it should be just fine. Today is the anniversary of the hardest day of my life thus far..but it's not even the fact of what happened last 3-1 it's what I'm missing now that hurts. My love is spreading thin and all I have to hold onto is a little jack pumpkin and a map above my bed with footprints to my heart. But I reckon it could always be worse. Plus it's good to know being selfless isn't the hardest thing in the world. By the way material pocessions don't mean anything to me- but things that are passed down are tresures.
