Some types of change are good and others hit us like a face plant on cement. At this time in my life, change is facing me head on. I'm being forced to take everything I have, leave all my amazingggggg friends behind, and move to a completely new and VERY different place. I'm what one might call a country girl due to my 13 year residence in a very rural southwest Washington. Life is sloooooow. Who needs to go to a park when you have a whole backyard full of trees to climb, a short walk to a forest, and very little road traffic? Want to see some animals? Look across the street at the lone cows grazing on the green grass. Compare this to the busy city life of where I'm moving to. Cars, sirens, people, and a large amount of things you wouldn't find in the country are usual sights and sounds. Honestly, I feel a little like a fish out of water. I've struggled with this change a lot. I'm going to miss my friends. I'm going to miss the early sunny mornings where I go sit outside and spend time with Jesus. I going to miss the peacefulness. But I've learned that through change, God uses it to shape our character & develop us further. So in one sense, I'm EXCITED for change and how God will use it. :]] yayayayayayay. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/677688/ Thu, 9 Apr 2009 21:50:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/677688/ As I sit here writing this, a lot has changed in a year. One year ago on April 7th, 2008, I made the horrific choice to take up cutting. Last year wasn't easy. I was dealing with more burdens and pain that a person of my age should have dealt with. My road hasn't been easy. When I started, I told my friends that my first time cutting would also be my last. I regret saying that. During that next year, I was what one might call a sporadic cutter. I would cut every few months & stay clean until my next session. During this time I was really able to help, support, & relate to my friends. Although not many of them knew about my more recent cutting until these past few months. It was a struggle I dealt with daily, but most of the time, I would not give in. It wasn't until later in 2008 and early 2009 where my cutting took a turn for the worse and became more frequent. I wish I could say I'm over with cutting forever, but I'm not. Today is my 42nd day being clean, but the want//need to cut is still there. Honestly, I don't know if I'll make it today. =/ http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/677579/ Thu, 9 Apr 2009 15:55:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/677579/ It's been a really long time since I've written a good long blog. I honestly haven't had reason to, & the main point of my blogs were to help me process my emotions & record important times in my life. The main thing I wanted to focus on this entry were my friends. This last year has had a lot of change & most of it makes me very sad. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/657267/ Wed, 11 Feb 2009 22:21:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/657267/ ;_; i feel so alone. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/635418/ Mon, 22 Dec 2008 12:23:01 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/635418/ RAWRRRRR.

I've been gone too long. It's been over 2 weeks since I last posted. 0_0 Well in the last 2 weeks, my dad graduated from his Doctorate of Ministry program so we made a big deal about that.... Ummmmmm. I attempted to go to 2 concerts, but both of them never worked out... I am planning on going to a Demon Hunter concert at the end of the month as well as 'Big Splash' which is a Christian music festival at a water park. =) http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/529935/ Fri, 9 May 2008 20:21:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/529935/ GAH. So I wake up in the morning to find out that my sister had the stomach flu and I had slept right through it... and then also find out that I was having severe nausea and um... like 5 minutes ago... I finally hurled it all up. 0_0 Not very pleasant, but at least I feel better. So if anyone reads this, PLEASE keep me and my family in LOTS of prayer right now. DDD= This week is like the worst week for all of us to get sick because my dad is going to graduate from his doctorate program and we have grandparents coming over and I have this huge English thing to turn in this Friday and I'm not doing so well right now... 0_0 So just pray for quick recovery, and stuff like that. Thanks soooooooo freakin much. =DDDDD Love, A very sick, tired, but beautiful Lisa. =PPP Yo my name is Lisa Joy-- Peace, Yo, Love, I'm out. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/519811/ Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:24:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/purplepoptart/519811/ sry... I was bored and had to do this. 0_0 www.meebo.com-- IM from anywhere and everywhere with any of your accounts using website, plus... if you join meebo, you can have all your accounts active at the same time... EPIC WIN. =D www.twloha.com-- This organization has given me soooo much hope and Renee has been a HUGE inspiration to me during my times of struggle and recovery. www.zambooie.com-- This store is freakin amazing. =DDD They have TONS of band-t's...(mostly christian bands), special organization t-shirts(like TWLOHA and a few others), and LOTS of additional band accessories, CD's, ETC. I love this place. www.hopecore.com-- This is an alternative Christian radio station. I actually like this much better then WAY-FM! wow! www.c28.com-- This is a store made especially for teen-christians in mind. WAI cool. =D They sell cool clothes, music, and a BUNCH of other things. =D www.tomfest.com-- I like this website because I might actually be going to TOMFEST... YAY! www.christianbook.com -- sells anything and everything. I love it. =D It's great for T-shirts and Music. =D www.iamunbreakable.com -- This website has mean't alot to me as I've been going through some hard times, but it's reminded me that I am unbreakable with the strength of Christ. www.godtube.com -- I like this because it is a Christian alternative to youtube so you miss all the junk you want to avoid, but you do run into some not so true teaching. I suggest sticking with the cool presentations, skits, music videos, etc. www.onetruth.com -- this website has been cool. They used to sell really cool clothes, but that has all ended for them now. They're moving on to a different part of life, but I still like the website. =D SOOO. There you have it!
