no more starbucks...

saturday night was my last night working at starbucks and it really made me think about things...

this was my first job where i wasn't always surrounded by christians and it was a real eye-opener. its amazing how you can go your whole life and really never know the world. looking back at my whole experiance, i wish i would have done a lot of things differently. I wish i could have been bolder. I wish I would have talked about my Christianty more often. I wish that my co-workers could see Christ living in me. I wish that I could have influenced at least one of them. who knows? maybe i could have helped save some soul.

I never participated in the sin, but I never said anything... which is just as wrong.

Romans 1:16


If anything, I am thankful for having this job for showing me how lucky i am to be a Christian and have God, my life.


I love ya'll.
Leigh

cast your every care upon him.

let me just say right now that GOD is awesome! lately I have been faced with a situation that I was totally freaking out about. I constantly prayed about it, and found out this morning that everything is worked out now.


i really want to encourage everyone to turn over your problems to GOD. have faith and confidence in your prayers and your FATHER will take care of you.


i love you all so much.

"When You Come Back Down"

You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire *** thats my favorite part***
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

And I'll be on the other end, To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly, If you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall

[Bridge:]
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down


*** This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, Nickel Creek.

*** I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

If you're bored come visit me a *StARbUCkS*. I'll make ya something!

Love ya. MUAH!

    You know you live in 2006 when...

    1.) when u go to a party...sit down....and take myspace pics!

    2.) you haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

    3.) the reason for not staying in touch with your friends is that they don't have an s/n or myspace/xanga

    4.) you'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of justpushing the button on the tv.

    6.) you read this list, & keep nodding and smiling.

    7.) as you read this list, you think about how stupid you are to read this.

    8.) and you were too busy to notice number 5.

    9.) you actually looked back up to check that there wasn't a number 5.

    10.) and now you're laughing at your stupidity.

    11.) repost if you fell for it.

    What a great song. And I should tell you: I applied for an assistant manager position at Starbucks. I hope you don't mind but I put you on my application as a referral. I know you didn't really refer me, but I knew that you work there and kinda knew who you were. Kind of shameless, but I hope you don't mind. :)
