sweet tea & lemonade

And another weeks begins! I have a feeling that this week might be a bit stressful but great at the same time. It is finals week for me, which means after today i only have 3 more class days! amen to that. Many papers, quizzes, actives and little things all need to be done in order for my first semester of college to be done. I love the challenge of a to-do-list. The feeling of crossing off things once they are done makes me feel accomplished. In one of my classes i wrote out a list of things that i need to do over the next few days and im excited to work hard and be able to kick back and relax next week.  The month of April flew by, as it is the last day I'm thinking about the course of this month and everything that ties in with April 2012. I must say it was a great month~ 5 little reasons.
1. got promoted at work!
2. turned 19
3. beautiful weather all month, which meant great hikes and bike rides
4. two awesome road trips
5. finalized the fact that i'll definitely be traveling to Kona, Hawaii to do a DTS. (i leave July 5th)
Within number 5~i have said a few times that I'll be doing a DTS with YWAM(youth with a mission) but now all the details are in order and its surly happening! I would appreciate & love your prayers in this time of preparation for this adventure i'll be partaking on.

As for Today, I'm wearing red pants, flower tank and messy hair while i sit outside listening to the The Glorious Unseen--(amazing band, highly recommend btw) and drinking a tasty drink of sweet tea and Lemonade while i write a quick blog. I want to leave you with this little re-miner...Your in the place of your life for a reason. This morning i was questioning what May would bring and how I'm just so excited for the future. I'm ready to move, meet new people and start my new life but a sense of peace come over me and reminded me how I'm placed so perfectly in this small town in Colorado. God is preparing my heart for something so special and radical for what is going to come but right now i have a divine purpose And i believe someone out there in the world needs to hear how importation this time is, how today and tomorrow you will be inspiring to the people around you. Stay positive and encouraging, you will never get today back so live it with happiness.

Love, Katie Jo

holding out for a hero

'Where have all the good men gone
And where are the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn
And dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast,
and he's got to be fresh from the fight,
I need a hero, 
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light, 
hes got to be sure, and it gotta be soon, and he's to to be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
Isn't there a Superman
To sweep me off my feet?

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast,
and he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero 
Im holding out for a hero til the morning light
hes gotta be sure, and its gotta be soon
and hes got to be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the raging flood
Oh, his approach is like a fire in my blood

I'll meet a hero
And then we'll dance til the morning light
Dreaming, he will lead me
Held tight, tonight's the night

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

Oooooh
Larger than life
Larger than life
Oh maybe, maybe'
