Forever ago...

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 15:14:00 -0600

Wow, I haven't been on since forever ago! Tons of amazing stuff has been happening in the past few months. For the longest time after camp I felt completely disconnected from God. Like no matter what I did he was still on the other side of that stinkin brick wall. Until Open (the winter retreat at my youth group.) last week. Basically God told me to stop daydreaming, get off my butt, and follow the desires he has given me. I'm sure none of you know what I'm talking about, probably wondering what my "desire" is. I've always had a desire to dance. And for the past year I've really felt like that was going to be a part of my personal ministry. The problem was that dance lessons are expensive and most of the dance studios around here are in austin. And thats a long drive to make every week. So my mom was looking in the local paper on friday and saw an article for a dance studio right here in my city. It was so cool because the deadline for signing up was today and I signed up yesterday! They're every monday night. And I'm pretty sure the teacher is a christian. It's so cool how God worked all this out! I'm starting with ballet because it's the basics of everything. Thats just one of the few things God has been doing for me, and he's been doing so much through me to. I can't wait to see what he'll do through my dancing. Please pray for me tomorrow I'm so nervous about my first lesson. I need the courage to go in there and be myself, instead of the girl who never talks. Ciao!

Parents...they seem to enjoy convincing you they'd never do something and then change there minds and shock you, and don't forget they always get a kick out of you being shocked. Last sunday my parents and 2 youngest siblings were gone when we got home from church. We figured they were grocery shopping or something so we didn't really think about it. They were still gone at about 7:30 so I called them and my dad said they were an hour and a half away in La Grange or something. But when I asked them what they were doing he changed the subject and hung up as soon as possible. Yeah I was starting to get suspicious at this point. Anywho they showed up at our house with a little Yorkie puppy. After always saying that it would be crazy to have 3 dogs! 3 dogs...4 birds...and 8 kids plus 2 parents....crazy!!!! Yet I love my parents for it! Lol, the puppy is adorable. His name is Chester. We've had our other 2 dogs for almost 4 years, they've always been a duo. And very anti social. But I think eventually they'll realize he isn't going anywhere and accept him. Hopefully. So anywho thats my surprise for the month.
I get to go swing dancing tonight! I'm kind of scared because I've never been swing dancing and they only teach you a few steps before they throw you out on the dance floor. Aaaaaaaaaah!!!! You also have to rotate with partners at the lesson part. The thought of dancing with a bunch of guys I don't even know is pretty scary. Because I don't have a clue what I'm doing so what if I do the wrong thing! I'm hoping it will be one of those things that I'll end up feeling really stupid for being afraid of it. Ciao!

YAY! Shine starts today!!! Shine is the womens conference at our church and I'm excited. My oldest sister Lizi is singing, and leading worship sometimes!!! The t-shirts are totally sweet! They're a bluish gray color, and they have a red guitar with wings that says Shine through it on the left side. And then on the back it has a bible verse. But I can't remember what the verse is. Anywho, Shine is gonna rock toe socks! My moms best friend Peggy and her whole family are coming down this weekend. I was really nervous and not looking forward to it but I feel better about it now. I'm still not exactly excited about them coming, but I'm not dreading it anymore. I prayed about it last sunday and it helped alot! Oh and we get to go to the beach again next sunday! I can't believe we're going back so soon. Well anywho I gotta go eat lunch before I pass out. Ciao!

Guess what!!!! I got in a car wreck yesterday!!! My first one too! Lol, your prolly wondering why I'm so excited about that. We went out to lunch with a few families after coop yesterday. When we were backing out of our parking space I looked back and saw the corner of a huge SUV bumper about to slam into our left back door. My poor little sister Rachel saw it coming before anyone else but she was sitting right next to the door, so she was to scared to say anything, and then BAM!!!!! Our door is kinda crushed. They had a little dent and a few scratches on their bumper. Luckily the people we backed into was a family from our coop that we had just had lunch with. No one was hurt obviously, and the insurance should cover our new door. If not the van is gonna have a nice dent for a long time. I would post a pic of the dent but I can't find the cord I need to upload my pix onto the computer.
Coop was fun though. Somehow for the second time in a row I got the highest score on a test in science. Apparently I'm good at science...until it gets into math. Then I'm done for. As I said before we went out to lunch with a few families after coop and surprisingly I had a really good time. We went to McDonalds so I didn't eat anything, but it was still fun. I figured I'd sit by all the parents and listen to their conversation but I ended up sitting with Nichole, Victoria, and Andrew. It was amazing I never thought I'd be able to sit at a table with a bunch of people I hardly know and actually feel comfortable, and have fun, (this may sound weird), but especially if one of them is a guy. Sorry, I've never had good experiences with guys. I've never had a guy friend becuz if I talk to them they act like I'm flirting with them. If I don't talk to them they think I'm a snob and they're afraid of me. I get confused cuz I don't want them to think I'm flirting and I like them, but I don't like people thinking I'm a snob...Geez!...*sigh* boys. Sorry I kinda got off subject didn't I...well anywho it was surprisingly fun.
Next weekend my oldest brother and his wife, and my moms best friend Peggy and her whole family are coming to visit for one night. Honestly I'm very nervous about it. I have many different reasons so it would take way to long to post about them all. And this is already really long. So I'mma go now. Ciao!

PS: Is my playlist working for you guys, cuz it wont work for me. But it might be my stupid firewall...I hate that thing.

Life has been pretty crazy. Well I guess depending on how you look at it. On one side this has prolly been one of the most boring months of my entire life. But on the other, it's been crazy and...well its just been CRAZY! I can't even talk to anyone except for most of my older siblings and Angela about it. I know it will all come out soon, but it's hard knowing all the stuff I know and not being able to tell anyone. Especially with every thing thats going on. Other people look at what they can see so differently than what it really is. Cuz they don't even know the tiniest bit of whats really going on. But in all the confusion I've never been so happy in my life. Cuz I know God is gonna work it out, he already is. Man I wish I could just type everything out and scream it to the world but I can't. That will have to wait...
Anywho, moving on...last night was a worship night at youth! It was awesome! I was still mad that Pastor Ben cut us off to go eat pizza when we were really just getting started. I didn't even want pizza! Lol, hmmmmmmmm...I suppose thats all for now. Ciao!

Yesterday was Are You In, at my youth group. Twas fun. I got 2 of our 3 new Lift T-shirts, and my youth groups first CD. But the CD skips. I guess a lot of the CD's they made are messed up. I have to trade mine for a different one. Which stinks cuz I wanna listen to the CD now, but listening to the CD just makes me mad, cuz it skips of course. I get to be oober bored for the next 2 and a half days. Woohoo! Go me!!!...not. I have absolutely nothing to do until wednesday night for the umpteenth time. So I don't have much to talk about. I guess Shine, the womens conference at my church, is coming up. I suppose that will be fun. But its not until mid october...lol. O yeah youth group wednesday night is gonna be a worship night. I am very excited about that. We haven't done that in way to long. I asked my sister if there was any way I could get the new CD on here and she said no. I wish everyone could here all the songs I've been quoting like crazy. O Well I suppose thats all for now. Ciao!

"This is the love starved cry of the earth.
To know the one true father of all.
And all I want is to join in the throng,
join in the song that all creation sings."
It's not talking about the song. It's putting into words what our hearts cry for. Atleast it did for me. The line that I used as my title for this entry is one that I've had to keep praying over and over in my head. Thats something I've been struggling with a whole lot lately. Thats all for now! Ciao!

WOW! I got 12 comments on my last blog. I don't think I've ever had 12 comments on one entry in the history of my blog. Unless I left the entry there for a month. But anywho...this week has been extremely boring. I babysat once and that was it other than church on sunday. How sad is that. I really have nothing interesting to say at all...Well me and my brother and sister are making a spoof on the show How Do I Look. I already hate myself for doing it. I'll prolly post the video on here after we get it done. My poor little brother...he plays the 3 "accomplices" and the hostess...yeah the hostess. That kid is very brave. I play the "fashion victim". And it's sad but that is very brave for me. Dressing up in scary outfits and letting someone record me in them. I'm pretty proud and mad at myself for doing it. Lol, ttyl. Ciao!
