JANINE IS HERE!!!! Oh man, I miss Chile! I seriously think that we should combine $ to send a gift to Chile around Christmas time!

Be slow to anger!

Wow, my dad just decided to take a walk at 12:00 at night to blow off steam, he started yelling at me about nothing. When he's really sick of being in the house, and not being able to go anywhere, he explodes about the dog peeing on the carpet. I displace my anger sometimes too, but it sucks when your on the other end of it. Oy!

Im at school, i am a dare devil ha ha ha

Wanna know what bugs me?

Lately, some people (no one specific) who are Christian have been really making fun of people, or putting them down, and let me tell ya, I'm not perfect, and I know I do this too, and I really pray about it, because so many people see Christians as someone who would judge them or even condemn them. Now, I know that the bible tells us what is wrong, and what is sin. It also tells us that all sin is equal to God. AND it also tells us in John 3:17 "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." Now if we are His helpers, and His body, we need to show God's love to others, even if we don't like what they do, or whatever. So, this is for me, and for everyone. It's something we all struggle with. But it upsets me when I am at church, and I hear stuff like that...cuz if anywhere...that's the place it shouldn't be. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Anyone?

Who wants to drive me to Starbucks? Cuz no one will here...and I'm sleepy, and I want good coffee before church! *pouts*

I love you, and i hope you feel better!

IMPORTANT!

So, I don't have much time, cuz it's about 12:00, and I still have a ton of work to do, but I really need something. I need all of you to pray for my dad. He has diabetes, and right now he's not doing very well. His foot is swollen more then I've ever seen before, and it just scares me a lot. I love him so much, and he's really unhealthy right now. He is so depressed, and he just sits around...in his own sorrow all day. And it is so hard to witness, and I can't imagine how he feels. He doesn't know Christ, and even typing this is making me cry. It would be so horrible if he had to lose his leg...he almost died when I was in 8th grade..and God placed me at home so someone would be there to call the ambulance. I just ask you to please lift him up in prayer, his name is Rob. I believe in prayer, I really do.

Prayer is.......

AWESOME! It is soo cool when you see God answering your prayers! Or when others pray for you, and lift you up! I just think it's such an awesome tool that God has given us, and I pray for a lot of yall!
Today was hard. It felt like Monday, and I have so many things going on. Everything got screwed up yesterday, and then today I had to report a guy for harrassing me, and I don't feel good... I dunno how Paul felt content in all situations...cuz I just can't seem to hack it. Maybe in a few years.
TODAY IS BIBLE STUDY! I can't wait! I really missed Jacki on Sunday, and I LOVE BIBLE STUDY! YEAH!

Sleeping in!

Sleeping in is what I love to do...
I could do it through and through....
Oh I love it with all my heart..........
I hope me and my bed never part........

lol, anywho...I really do love it...I love letting my mind go in and out of things, and just being in a warm lump of blankets. I want to go back there right now! It's super cold cuz our furnace doesn't work right..brrrr!

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the original is SO much better. But it was fun and 14 of us went, and yea, we had a paarrttyy!

I guess I'm happy for the White Sox, but I love the cubs. I was talking to my Gym teacher, and it was after the first game, and I was like, "Who do they play today?" And he's like, "MANDY it's a playoff! They play the same team!" lol, I think I get it!

Any relation Josh?

From my homework, "During the two years that John Rutledge was an associate justice, he had regarded the Court's business as so trifling that he did not bother to attend a single session, and he finally resigned to become chief justice of South Carolina." Ha hha hahha hhhaaa! It made me laugh......a lot.
So, my day was kinda.......awful. Going into detail would be too much...but I was in such an awful mood, but then my mom came home from work, and she just listened to me cry, and hugged me, and made it better for now. And then we ended with praying, and then laughing a lot. I think it's super sweet how God can take me from having a mental breakdown, to laughing about goofy things with my mommy. I'm such a mommy's girl.
I hope all is well, and just remember when everything in the world fails on you, that God's love is UNFAILING!
Oh, and on Sunday, I felt like Michelle, cuz I couldn't stop laughing....and it made my cheeks hurt, and running in the rain with you was a blast, lets do it again sometime. LOL! See yall tomorrow for some good ol' B.S. lol....BIBLE STUDY!!!!!!!!!

SUCCESS!

So, the Anti-homecoming party was a blast. I remember when I first went to Homecoming as a freshman...and I just remember not fitting in. And now, I'm kinda embracing not fitting in with it...cuz for me...it kinda feels...like worldly pressures just are all around at dances like that. I don't think it's bad if you go or anything...I just don't. And tonight I had some good clean fun! It was so much fun! It was at my friend's house that lives like a house over from Josh and Jackie, and I was like calling over there...just cuz I thought it was funny...but I doubt I was loud enough. I was like "That's where my Youth Pastor and his wife live!" I was all lamely excited. Cuz I really luv them.
So, I made a shirt, and on the front it says "Ask me about my savior!" Except when I was spelling it....I asked my mom how to spell Savior, and she didn't hear me quite right, and I added a U in it. I can't believe I spelled it wrong! Oh man...someone told me that they spell it that way in London or something....who knows! On the back it has verse 2 cor. 5:20 or is it 1 cor. I dunno one of those! Look it up!
One thing that has been on my mind lately is...........JESUS! And I keep thinking about when I first became a Christian. I thought I was going to fall on my face, and stop believing, or go back to my old way of life. And I didn't. I have had rough points in my walk.....don't get me wrong, but I've never fallen, or turned my back. And I PRAISE GOD for the strength HE'S given me. Cuz it's so hard to watch people fall away from Christ, it seriously makes me cry. Cuz it's their eternity on the line, and .....oh man....it suxs. And I'm just so thankful to God, for how He's been there every step of the way. I never stop feeling lucky to be saved. And every day I try to pray that I will die, and let God take over. And I love it, I really do.
