Running Free In Heartland

Life

So, it's been a while since I last wrote. Well, since then, school has somewhat finished for me, and we have been on our trip down the Oregon Coast to Disneyland. We had a really good time, and we did a bunch of interesting things. If you would like to read more about it, feel free to go onto my traveling blog at: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/beyondtheopendoor/ .  That it the blog I wrote on, so that all of my friends could keep in touch with me and up to date on what I was up to while I was away. I didn't use this one, cause some of my friends are males, and I love them and all(like brothers and friends), but don't really want them to read this blog, cause this is the one that I really pour my heart out into, and I want to keep it that way.  So, yeah, feel free to check out the other one. It has a slide show from our vacation.

Things have been going pretty good. There is a little bit of confusion and hurt going on in my group right now, but we are hoping that it will work itself out. We have been praying about it too, but this is one of the many situations in life, that is hard to know how to deal with. I'm not going to say any names, but one of the girls who recently joined our group, has kind of taken over the attention of the group. Like we love her and all, but she is constantly hogging "the spot light" and one of my other friends and I are/ were finding it hard. We love her and all, but she was making us feel like what we said wasn't important or intersting anymore, and that it would just be better off if we didn't say anything at all and just kept quiet and let everyone else talk. It is kind of frustrating too, cause she is kind of expecting to be involved in all of our social events. Like me and one of my guy friends had briefly talked about doing a Indiana Jones movie night, cause he owns all of them. Well, we had just talked about it, and haven't actually done it yet, but I told her about it, and she was practically guilt triping me into asking her if she would like to do it too. If we ever do it, I would really just like to have it with him, me, and one of our other amazing friends(the one who has been feeling the same way as me about her). I know this sounds really mean, but I just want a couple people from my old group doing it with us. There are times I am not invited to every social event that my group does, and I am learning and am getting used to the fact that I don't have to be invited to every one they do. Like, they are each others friends too, and they have the free will to hang out with any of them when they want to. I guess that is something she is going to or is learning right now. If you readers could pray for my group in this time, that would be super. It is slowly not effecting us as much anymore, but we would all really appreciate your prayers. And, if any of you have any advice for me on what to do with this situation, please feel free to voice it. Thanks!

God bless you all, and have an awesome summer!
