This just in...

Ok so for those who keep asking and I have not been able to give a very definite answer....this may help.
So the family is in the process of selling the business this week, so please keep us in your prayers for that, so mom and Paul plan to leave San Diego on their 6 month tour of the states July 1st and see where the good Lord leads. ( they do have more plans than that but I won't bore you with detail) Anyhow so that means that I am out of here earlier than expected. I will be leaving San Diego before Rene and heading to Nashville on my own. She plans on coming in August and I will be going out there in early June for some interviews (prayerfully) and than coming back packing and moving there before the end of the month. OH MY GOSH! So sadly not as long of a summer break in CA as I hoped for but this is ok as I know the Lord has things for me. I am excited to get out there and start this new chapter!
So I need all the prayers you all can send my way, money is an issue at the current moment and since I will be coming with no furniture what so ever I am asking you Nashvegas buddies of mine to keep your eyes peeled for good deals!
Love you guys
keep you updated as I know more info.

So this weekend...

It was Rene's birthday, we went up north just me, Rene, Meesh and Suz to Hearst Castle and San Luis Obispo and boy was it a time to remember. Lets start this off with saying that I have become more high maintenance in the eating department than I ever thought possible. I hate not being able to eat wheat or gluten and that almost everything I crave has both of those products in them. LAME! So that proved to be interesting aspect of the trip, especially when I blatantly ignored the fact that I get deathly ill when I eat wheat and allowed myself to dip into the friendship bread that Suz made for the car ride. Man did I get sick and boy were the girls troopers! Needless to say I learned my lesson and I will not be doing that again.
Saturday we went to the castle and it was Uh-mazing! I would show you photos but wouldn't you know my camera mysteriously erased all the photos minus the guest pool so you are ish outta luck on that one. Afterwards we went to the this cute little beach town and had lunch and then finished up the night at the Madonna Inn for dessert.
Now as soon as the ladies send me photos I will post them cause you will never believe this place. It was out of control gaudy. I mean one of the rooms looked like strawberry shortcake vomited all over the place. It was crazy but man was it fun. There was a dance floor and there was big band music playing and all these couples out there swing dancing and such, oh man was I wishing I could be out there cutting a rug. We later crashed a sweet 16 party downstairs while trying to get our picture on in the moulin rouge bathroom. It was hysterical you guys I seriously had the best time. But the ringer had to be the fact that we went there for a good birthday dessert for my Rene and because we got there so late we got the left overs.
Oh yes friends I am talking the chocolate sheet cake that looks like it came straight from the local Walmart and tasted like it had been sitting there for about two weeks. I went through hell and back tryin to find a waitress, mind you the one that sat us disappeared into the night and was apparently the only waitress for the entire restaurant. Anyhow she was missing in action so I hunted down a busboy and asked him if I could get a piece cake of something for my girl and the boy hooked it up. Now mind you he informed me that it was the bottom of the barrel as far as choices but I didn't realize it was going to be the worst thing that ever crossed the lips of my three good friends. (this is when I was happy I couldn't eat cake, PTL for an allergy to gluten!) Anyhow it turned into one heck of scene but only became that much funnier when we were reminded of the previous nights occurrence....now bare with me cause you may not think this last little bit is funny but if you know me you will laugh and you will enjoy.
So picture this, I'm laying on the bed in the guest house Friday night. I have tears pouring down my face because I am in so much pain from the damn bite of bread I took. (this is not the funny part) anyhow the ladies come in and gathered around me, giving love the way good girl friends do, when Suz says she would like to pray. So we all close our eyes and Suz starts in just interceding for my belly and what not. Then Nae (Rene for those who don't know I call her that) starts praying just for healing over my allergy all together and an ability to have strength to rely on the Lord and yada yada... So while Nae is speaking I'm just talking to the Lord saying things like "Lord just thanks for these girls and their understanding, and I just pray that the people who will come into my life from here on out will understand the pressures....." Ok so this is where it gets funny, now in true Nicci fashion and I suppose most girl like fashion I immediately transfer from the above thought into, "And lord gosh my husband I pray he just has good taste buds and isn't a steak and potato man...oh...oh gosh my husband, oh wait my wedding...no my wedding cake, I'm not going to be able to eat it cause its made from gluten and wheat, oh Freakin A what am I going to do? (worry and laughter start to build)." Meanwhile Rene is still praying and I am trying so hard to hold it in and I just can't so I bust out in laughter in the midst of her prayer, thus startling the others and we all open our eyes and I'm laughing so hard I can't explain what I'm thinking. You guys this was to much, I have been known to go from one topic to another but never that drastic and to that point during a prayer. I was eventually able to get it out and we all laughed so so hard for like 10 minutes that the cake incident the next night just brought that much more to the plate.

ok sorry this could go on forever and most of you will hear this story live over and over I am sure nonetheless for those who aren't that is the 411 on the weekend.
Took lots of photos those will be up soon. The ones I have on my camera are posted now so check it on myspace or flickr. Love you guys.

One of those days

Do you ever just wake up and have one of those days where everything you do just turns to crap? Well today was one of those days for me. I don't know what it was but it started with waking up and feeling like I was run over by a dump truck while attempting to rest my weary body. Then I went to work, mind you two days ago when I went to work walking like I was part of the next zombie movie, I totally screwed up and left a kid unattended in the house while I went on a transport, never happens but there is always a first time for everything. Anyhow went to work today and I got stuck in a house with a bunch of girls that I do not normally work with. These girls are known for their manipulation and rude behavior. So I was in for it this morning! I managed to make it through the first part of the day but just felt real discouraged. So I went to the Lord in prayer. This was therapeutic for me as I just let it go at the feet of the Lord. I just wept. Which is good but man I just felt wasted afterwards. Anyhow its not that there were a million and a half things that went wrong just a general bummer day.
I thought allot of Africa today. The people there that I miss, the ones whom are just a few hundred miles away but I can't communicate with.
Oh well, this is just a small rant my bro is coming in tonight and tomorrow I am off with the girls for a three day weekend to celebrate my bffs birthday. So things will turn around. Just wanted to vent for a bit.
Blessings and love to all of you so far away.
I think of you often.

Your smile makes me smile.
One down five more to go.

Remembering

This weekend I was reminded of a dream I had the first week I came to the Lord. It was strange how this dream came back to me though it is something I have held onto for the last ten years and can still remember it quite vividly. So I was thinking I should share it with you today.
In the beginning of my dream I am walking with this girl, I suppose she was my friend, though I cannot remember what her face looks like or if I even knew her then. We were walking down the street into different apartment complexes and random buildings. We were looking for this party that we had been invited to. We stopped by different places but none of them were the one. Then we entered this complex and there was this massive pool covered with glass doors. You could see all these people dancing, drinking, socializing.
The girl I was with went through the door and turned around to look at me. She motioned for me to come in but I didn't want to. I pointed upwards indicating to her that I was going to check out upstairs and see what was going on there. She smiled and got lost into the party. I started climbing these stairs, I had remembered I had seen something on the roof so I headed up there to see what was what.
When I got up there it was empty. I didn't see anyone but I looked around hoping to find something of worth. Then across the way on the roof of another building I saw this house. It was different there were all these trees and flowers and grass. It was beautiful. It looked so inviting and peaceful. It was unreal the roof of the building I was on was gray and drab, it was lonely and empty. So I started looking around trying to see how I could get over to this other house. I walked towards the edge and just then I heard these voices. I turned around and there were all these people. Some I recognized, some who were faceless strangers.
It was then that they all started calling me names, they were yelling things I had heard my whole life. I just stood there crying. I didn't know what to do. Then they started hurling crap at me. I mean literal crap. It was so heavy I fell to the ground. I was getting caked in it. It was disgusting and I just lay there not knowing what to do.
Then things changed, I heard this voice and this man was speaking to the crowds of people, saying they couldn't treat me the way they did and that I was his daughter and He wouldn't tolerate it. He picked me up and started to clean me off, the people just disappeared and we walked towards that beautiful house. It was amazing, there was this bridge and we just walked across it and then suddenly the bridge was gone.
I woke up that next morning feeling peaceful about where I was. At that point coming out of a long period of drug and alcohol abuse and having some other real life altering moments I knew that the Lord was with me and I wouldn't have to take that "crap" anymore.
This weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with some amazing people. Experiencing some things that reminded me of where I have come from and who I am now. I was blessed to speak truth into the life of some amazing ladies and be blessed with wisdom spoken into my life through some complete strangers.
It has been an insightful time, I have had the pleasure of hearing the hearts of a few friends and finding myself more and more drawn to who they are. I love how the Lord has orchestrated us to intertwine with one another. I feel blessed to have the grace and forgiveness and understanding of the Lord poured over me and those I encounter. He has created something amazing in each of us. Our capabilities, though at times can be some what scary or dangerous, this weekend they have been something of awe for me to sit back and breath in.

As Rains of Refreshing

As rains of refreshing, O Lord,
So pour out Your Spirit upon our waiting hearts.
As showers upon new-mown hay,
Send Your Spirit upon our thirsty souls.
For upon You, O God, do we wait.

Satisfy our hungering souls with Your abundance.
Yes, fill our longing hearts with Your fullness.
For in Your presence is fullness of Joy;
At Your right hand are eternal pleasures.

a song well a band...

OK quick note, for those who don't have myspace (Bos I'm mainly talking to you) but for whomever else may not be on there I wanted to tell you about this new band. Well they aren't that new but they most likely are to you. The name of the band is Trading Yesterday and one of their songs is the featured song on the trailer for In the Land of Women starring none other than mister San Diego himself, Adam Brody. Anyhow One Day is the featured song and I have had it on my myspace many a times but they also have one called She is the Sunshine and I just wanted to encourage you all to check them out. They are kinda girly, which Bos I know you will appreciate, but worth taking a listen to. You cannot get them on itunes yet but you can purchase their music via myspace at www.myspace.com/tradingyesterday

ok my loveys I miss you I am thinking of you and hope you can dance with me to the music.

BORED

So I have the sick house today. Which means all the sick boys come to the house I run.
Why am I getting the sickies when I am trying to get over a cold?
I'm locked up in here all day so I have too much time on my hands and conveniently forgot my book at home.
So you get the pleasure of reading my every thought...well ok not every thought cause some of those are reserved for certain people/times.
Had a killer workout last night.
My trainer is kick ass.
I started drinking a new shake this morning.
It was good.
Protein powder, chocolate rice milk and mixed berries with some flax seed oil. mmmm mmm.
But I'm hungry now and am devouring a pink lady apple and think I might go on to the blood red orange next.
This weekend me and my friend Court are going to make a video so if you're lucky you might get to see it. Well maybe not....
Kelly do you remember in college when we would have those little dance parties in the dorm. You and your toe shoes me and my hip hop? Oh what a team we were!
Speaking of which do you know its the 20th anniversary of Dirty Dancing...I know you all wanted to know this.
In the last twenty minutes I have seen 15 commercials for weight loss drugs. And you wonder why women have a complex.
Ok this is enough of me talking about random crap just to fill time.

I stand amazed

Why do I continually stand amazed at the ability of the Lord to provide the very thing I need at the moment that I need it? To know what it is that I long for before I do? To bless me in a way that I never thought imaginable or worthy of? I cannot explain to you the way He has shown me this again and again the last few weeks, in circumstance of job and relationships and life experiences. The desire in my heart to know him greater has been there more and more, and with every desire to grow in this, he has brought me a new way to examine my heart in relation to Him. To trust in ways I have not had to trust in such a long time. To rely on the fact that He has me and this is something I need not be concerned by. To relinquish my control over situations, to not know the reasons why and to believe that it is worth the wait.
There is so many ways I can express to you how He has done this over my life time I am sure, but these past few months I am floored time and time again.
I sit down and weep at the timeliness of it all. I have always said that in each relationship and experience that I believe it is an encounter with the Lord. One for me to learn from because they represent a part of Him that I do not know fully. This could not be more true in every area of my life moreover there is one person who has entered my life recently who seems to know the heart of the Lord and where I am at with it all. I don't know how you seem to meet me in every place I am. If the Lord is sharing my heart with you, but I am grateful.
There is nothing like the knowing you are okay to be you in your skin with someone. To know there isn't a rule of judgment coming down upon you. It is this way with the Lord but when you meet people who enable you to walk in that same grace it is more than amazing. It is my heart to never put someone in a place of discouragement, to tempt or condemn another. It is my desire to encourage, challenge and stand beside those who are pushing towards the goal. I pray that I can be that for you my dear ones. I pray that we all can be faithful and ok with the fact that we don't always meet the mark, goodness knows the Lord is okay with where we are more than we ever are. Just keep trying cause Lord knows I am.

approaching the cross

There is often a grave misunderstanding, whether in principle or action, in how we are to approach the cross of Jesus. Many of us have become quite familiar with the theological and spiritual concepts of the centrality of the cross as it relates to the inception of our salvation and the foundation of our sanctification. We've heard the voice of Jesus beckoning us near, yet we find that as we begin to move our souls are heavy-laden with guilt and shame at our own depravity. The tree of life contorted to a towering judge in the confusion surrounding such an unreserved love. To approach the cross we must embrace true repentance and hope and throw off every inkling of guilt and shame. It may seem a simple assessment, yet our efforts often display an unfortunate submission to the latter. Jesus calls you because you are broken...because it's only in this condition that you are even able to approach the cross.

"Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

Hebrews 4.16

Feeling sick

So today is normally my day of rest and this was something I was really looking forward to as I haven't been feeling so great these last few days. But I had a horrible night sleep and had to be up bright and early to work on the farm.
Essentially my allergies have taken over and created a bit of a cold and I am now feeling as though my head is in a vice. So I am sitting in my house wishing I had the strength to go to the store and get some soup or better yet that I had someone who would go get it for me. Wow you really take the moms for granted when you are all alone. I suppose I should get used to it again since I will be out on my own again in just a few short months. But I will tell you what I am a sucker for some tlc when I am sick. However I do have enough energy to write a pointless blog so I am going to attempt to hit up the store and then drug myself to go to sleep tonight. Two more days of work and then rest again!

oh so cute moment of the day:
the little girls who live next door to me who are probably about 6 and 8 are outside today doing little dance cheers and they have to be the cutest things I have seen in some time. One of them has these little curly locks and a face that you just want to eat up. She is bouncing around saying, "We are the panthers the mighty mighty panthers!" so cute. just thought id share.

blessings and love.

Home Alone

So this is the first night of seven nights that I will be in my home all alone. Now normally I would welcome a little alone time, but seven nights in this house with no one to hear my cries for attention is something to behold let me tell you. So tonight I started this week long adventure with my latest mix tape blaring at a level so loud that the neighbors could jam right along with me. I cleaned the house and sang to Jedidiah (the cat for those who don't know) as I danced around in my living room.
I have also decided that I would like to try to start writing a story. Strange I know but its something I have found helps me deal with things. I mean I journal, and these days I journal allot. But I think I'm going to go with a story, see where it takes me.
That's all.

bond james bond

That's right I spent Easter night with my family having a tasty meal and watching James Bond. Nothing like a action packed movie to bring the family together.
Church was good today, as it is every Sunday, afterwards I headed to the gym and and then came home to spend time with the fam and watch Bond. My brother and I went to get the movie and while we were in Blockbuster we heard a Christmas song and we started talking about how this Christmas I was actually going to get a white Christmas! How dang exciting is that! My brother and I started walking around the store singing Christmas songs and discussing what we would do with our white Christmas. Nerdy, but true and I am so excited!
Brief overview of the weekend:
This was an intense weekend for some apparent reasons and some not so. I experienced some new things, i.e. the lounge bar where I got to hear the trumpet, watched some serious boxing/kickboxing like stuff with da boys at the Bull Pin, and I met some peeps who are moving to Nashville and might be able to hook me up with a job!
I did allot of thinking, praying, contemplating. I thought about how we can miss someone that we have never actually physically met. How it is similar to how I feel about the lord many times. I often wish I could just knock on a door and the Lord would open it and I could just hug him. What is it about an embrace that makes one feel so connected?
Someone once wrote about the connection of two hearts and how deprivation can lead to an increase in desire. How true this is. How true this is.
So I'm all over the place with thoughts, gonna go to sleep now. Would love to hear from you all. Hope your Easter was good. Pray you are finding yourself yearning more and more for the Lord.
This week please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as my tummy isn't doing so well and I will also be sending out my resume to some possible jobs in Nashville.
Thanks loveys.
Blessings and love

Song of the day: Unashamed by Starfield

can we just discuss...

the difficulties of eating out with my new found limitations....ok so picture this, last night after good Friday service Rene, Meesh, Ryan, Bones, Ross, Suz and I decide to go out to eat for some good chatter and a little grub for the tummy. So we decide to go to Sammy's Wood fire Pizza. Now I know your saying to yourself, "Nicci you can't eat wheat or gluten so why are you going to a pizza joint?" Well my friends never fear because I knew they had salads and other such lovely items to choose from. Now I thought this would be a good idea since everyone else wanted pizza and they also wanted my company. Ok so there we are sitting, chatting enjoying ourselves. Everyone orders and I decide upon the mahi mahi tacos I cant have fish and corn tortillas so Im set right?!? Well I inform the waiter that I can't have any dairy and that I am allergic to gluten and wheat and to make sure the cook knows this so that he doesn't accidentally give me the wrong things. The waiter agrees says no prob and all seems well. At least until the first round of food....now here comes the dinner and everyone has theirs accept me. Over comes the manager who leans in to tell me the waiter didn't understand what I meant by being allergic to gluten and that the cook had breaded my fish and so I would need to order something different. So I said ok no worries and that I would take the Kobe beef tacos instead. Well a few moments later arrives my new dinner choice. The plate is set in front of me and I look at it and turn to the manager and say, "these are corn tortillas right?" She assures me that they are and walks away. So I start eating my veggies and a moment later the manager returns stating, "I asked the cook and he wasn't sure so I am going to take these back and make sure you have corn tortillas." So a few more minutes go by and she returns yet again with a new plate. Turns out they were flour tortillas, so she apologizes and says dig in. So I go back to the veggies and then turn the taco over and look at it and what should be gushing out, CHEESE! Oh my gosh at this point. I was about to break down and cry. The entire table was almost finished with their meal and I am still waiting to take a bit of my damn taco. So yet again I call the waiter over, inform him that I cannot have cheese ( which i had said but who knows, lost in translation I suppose) and so he writes down all the things I cannot have and continue to insure no issues with my fourth go around and I continue to wait for my meal. Finally it comes, I eat and I am happy. But wait it doesn't stop there. The waiter feels so bad that he wanted to give us a dessert on the house. So he brings over their famous ice cream sundae. WELL freakin awesome you feel so bad that I had my food was messed up four times that you comp a dessert for the entire table that I cannot partake in, because hello I am lactose intolerant I can't have cheese so why in the hell could I have ice cream! UGH...I was over it. I didn't care I was happy everyone else enjoyed the ice cream. Then the bill came. 12 freakin bucks they charged me for my two tacos. I was so frustrated, so we talked to the waiter who then felt horrible that I couldn't have the ice cream and that I had such a rough night and so he comped the ice cream and my dinner. Man what a night, I hate feeling high maintenance and that couldn't have been a more high maintenance situation. Oh man guys it was something to behold I tell ya. But on the up side I did get to go to this funky little bar with the homeys afterwards and hear the trumpet....I love the trumpet.

observations of the...

So I haven't done this in a while so I thought why not go back to how I started this whole thing. So here is my list of observations this week:

1. I like glasses, I like them allot! I mean allot and I like the possibility of the new ones...go with those. Just in case you wanted my opinion.
2. I have listened to the same three songs on repeat for the last two weeks and its getting out of control.
3. My brother is one of my favorite people. Having him home this week has been SUPERB!!!!
4. Redecorating your room can take more then 10 minutes.
5. Having a personal trainer is great for the ego.
6. Living next to the beach is one of my favorite things, what am I doing moving to TN?!?
7. Really excited that there is a school in TN that is so appealing to someone I really like, this makes number 6 more bearable.
8. Dynamite, now that is a great word, really really great!
9. I really like The Office, it is hilarious. Dane Cook is side splitting, man that was a good time!
10. I am selfish and often completely miss the point.
11. 15 year old girls should not be having babies.
12. I LOVE laughing, yes yes I do.
13. Waking up at 445 in the morning to go the gym is a wonderful yet some what crazy way to start the day.
14. There is just an absurd amount of people leaving in San Diego.
15. Adam has to be one of the craziest guys I know and can be the best gtalk chat man a girl can have at work. Thanks bro (see you made the list now stop crying)
16. Many men don't know what to do with the tres amigas, just as it should be! Shock em girls shock em!
17. There is nothing attractive about cat calling!
18. Planning my mothers wedding is proving to be quite the task.
19. Gluten is in way too many things and makes eating out a real pain in the arse.
20. I have vivid dreams, some of them actually happen, and that can scare me and other times I really hope they do happen.
21. Praying over each area of my life these days is the only way I am certain that things are just as they should be.

ok so there is so much more and I could have gone on for days but I am ending it now and I will be back later.
blessings and love

ok so this is my strange arrangement of the day but just know I'm singing along, getting my dance on and thinking good things..won't you share with me

overwhelmed..

I don't know what to say. Today was intense. I started reading a book, well listening to a book and it was good. It had me in heavy thought and then I headed to Vellum (young adults group) and we talked about the death and resurrection of the Lord. It was a good night in the sense of things being brought to the forefront of my mind and having my focus shifted off myself and back onto the Lord. It was this good time of prayer and intercession. But I just got to thinking about life and things, and this book its interesting all the ideas it brings up and how applicable it is to time and the things that are going on in life. You know I go through my day all the time forgetting about the intensity and the significance of his actions. I know this sounds horrible, but its true I get so caught up in me and ish that I forget about it. And then of course someone says something to me about the Lord and his ability to meet me where I am and he won't leave me, and though I know this I don't think about it. I don't think wow the power behind his death and resurrection. I just go on in my self involved day and maybe pray to him but i don't know that i always get it. So I was in my book this morning and it was talking again about this relationship between us and the Lord, or us and each other and I was reminded of the ability to love beyond myself. How we are called to extend that love to one another. I think I get so caught up in my fear that I miss that we are all the same in some form or fashion. At times I walk around with this fear that I will give myself to someone and they will withdraw and I will be left feeling sad, violated, silly. And there was this time in my life where I wouldn't open myself up to others because I was sick of the hurt that came with the disappointment. But then one day I took the Lord at his word, that I was/am his beloved and he will not/does not leave me. I was reminded of this today. That putting yourself out there is often the best part, if I am not willing to take that step of faith then I just might miss some of the best things life has to offer. I might just miss out on the one thing that I was created for.
All this to say, some times its scary sometimes I don't know what I am doing, and maybe some times you don't know what you are doing, maybe you don't think you have it in you. But the Lord says that you are his beloved and you have limitless worth. I encourage you to not put up walls and take a step of faith and trust him cause he is worth trusting.
I love you all, thanks for the moments of sharing and I pray those moments continue for a life time. I am praying for you that the Lord would meet you where you are and do what only he can do.

Shag the movie

Ok so I watched this movie today, for like the millionth time but not the point. I love it. I love the idea of you and your best girlfriends spending your last summer together, dancing and living by the beach. But you know what else I love about this movie? Well its set back in the 50s and the dancing in the movie isn't all dirty and uncomfortable to look at. It is set in a time when men and women still danced together and it was real dancing (shagging if you will.) There is this one character that I identify with, Pudge, she is the dancer out of the group and I just love her spirit. Anyhow...lets just take a moment of silence in remembrance of partner dancing.......
ok great.
miss you guys, love you guys, more randomness to come.

random thought

So today as I sat in way too much traffic I started thinking about how they say that colors can affect ones mood. Then looking at the red lights I started wondering if that is the reason that everyone gets so angry and has such horrible road rage...does the red make us go crazy? I don't know just a random thought.

A page is turned

So the artist of the day is Bebo Norman...that's right I was rummaging around in my old Cd's and found this one with some songs I used to jam to...so today I listened to Bebos A Page is Turned over and over on the drive home. I have also found one of my faves during college by a group by the name of Waterdeep I have to some times seriously wonder how I found these bands.
OK well I just thought I would encourage you to go look at your old stuff and have a good time reminiscing over the "good ol' days."
