in a word: amazing

it feels like i havent posted in years--but it's only been a week. and things are radically completely and utterly not the same. want the scoop? good. its what you get for your daily dose of kristina.

Mr. Brooks passed away either very late Tuesday night or very early Wednesday morning, so that was hard and very eunexpected.  Massive heart attack...he was a nice man and i wish i'd known him better.  I was so proud of Brandy and of Daddy talking about him.  you both did an amazing job and i know he was happy.

Winter Retreat.  how do i even begin to describe it? maybe a list? well...i dunno...it was good.

1. SNOW! that is number one on my list.  i knew it would snow, thank you God for making it snow, that was amazing and it made everyone so  happy. : ) it rocked.

2. People. there were definitely some new faces and it was cool getting to know people i hadn't really had a chance to talk to much before.  i got to know even my friends better and got comfortable with you too.  spending that much uninterrupted time together is a catch 22: you get to know people so weel and so fast, but then all of a sudden its gone and its hard to get used to not seeing them all the time.

3. Singing. Our concert was amazing. watching people go C-R-AZY and dance and shout and sing and praise God was such a blessing to be a part of and witness.  i love performing.

4. Sessions. The sessions, especially the different ones at night were really good.  there was good discussion going on and the videos and powerpoint was a nice touch.

5. The Boyfriend. I'm glad i got the chance to get to know you more; you're such a respectful and sweet guy and i'm really glad things are going so well. i dont care what people say about it, i like you and you're awesome to me.  they can suck it.

an original:.

.:I know you and your quiet soul, a private heart for her to hold; can't let me in so I'll wait outside, sitting patiently 'til this feeling subsides.  All that I am, all i could do, can't you simply let me love you? With your railed-off heart no one can see; i miss that smile of yours so completely.  We needed some time to escape the confines, the binds were suffocating butnow its time, are you ready for what I've got? I'll wait to catch you if you're not.  All that I am, all I could do, can't you simply let me love you? With your railed-off hear no one can see; I miss that smile of yours so completely.  Then you came with arms open wide, told me your story with  no foolish pride; as tears made new saw fresh sunshine, you told me you loved me but couldn't be mine.  All that I am, all i could do, why can't you simply let me love you? With your railed-off heart no one can see; I miss that smile of yours so completely. I will be here for eternity, so that you'll always be able to find me:.
