I am feeling particularly pensive tonight and not quite tired, so I thought I would post a poem that I loved when I was little.
“Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die, Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly, Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams go, Life is a barren field, Frozen with snow."
I don't completely agree with it anymore. Give your dreams to God. He is the one who makes life not barren and worth living. Besides he knows what is best for me (and for his glory and his worthy reputation) and loves me perfectly. He can be trusted with my heart and my life and is worth NOTHING LESS!

Not something to comment on
That last post just wasn't something to comment on, was it? Uggh. My life has been turned upside down the last couple days. Thank you to everyone who has loved me so well in the midst of this. I have the best friends anyone could ask for!
I have a funny story for ya though... the other night I was in downtown Lincoln getting some copies made at Kinkos and I couldn't find a meter to park in so NATURALLY what do I do? I go ahead and park in this parking lot that is completley illegal and has "Authorized parking only, violators will be towed" signs up. I send up a quick prayer in the midst of a lot of apathy (I didn't really care if they towed my car or not) and go into kinkos. I was intending to spend 20 minutes at kinkos, almost an hour later I come out a little frazzled (kinkos does that to a person). I go to get my car and there is this big black gate closed in front of the lot and I barely figured out how to get to my car. I threw up a quick prayer (still a little apathetic though) and see a woman walking through a gate that I think will get me to my car. Halleluyah. Alright one problem down. One to go...
I get in my car and still have no idea how I am going to get the gate open. I drive up to it hoping it is one of those automatically opening ones. No luck. As I am doing this, I see a woman walking out of the building attached to the lot. So I decide to ask her if she knows how to get out of the parking lot? She says "Umm, were you in Swanson and Russell? (this is apparently the legitimate reason for being in the parking lot)." I am BUSTED. I do the only thing I can and say No very sheepishly.
She smiles and says let me see what I can do. She went back in the building and got the gate open. Close call! What a fun random way God provides.

life and such
Hey all! Christmas here was fantastic. My parents just remodeled their kitchen so it was interesting to try to get all that work to a stopping point and commence holiday activities. Jon came up for christmas. That was highly enjoyable. We had been having some problems recently so it was really good to see him and remember how much we actually do like each other.
I got some fun gifts for Christmas. I got a digital camara (which I will soon use to regale you with a recap of my holiday). I also got about 5 pairs of earrings. which I opened consequetively. Interesting.
As for me, I am at Omaha for as much of the holiday break as I would like. I am spending my days doing the piddly things in life that add up and need to be done. I am also doing fundraising. As of todays count, I have 870 left to raise. Not so bad. God has been very faithful this semester and this year to provide what I need. At present, I am in the throws of deciding what to do with my life next year. I have no idea what kind of career I want to pursue or well tmuch of anything. Oh the joys of being 23. For the curious out there: I could stay with Navs, teach or go back to school (and potentially get a degree in counseling).
Well that is enough of my banter. Jon is coming up for New Years this weekend also which is really fun!

Conversations at the apartment
And NO Tracy isn't the only one who talks...
"I think my job is killing my inner child." Tracy
"I live vicariously through my friends." Tracy
