Yesterday, I walked to Gael's house, and we made cinnamon rolls, and almond lattes. I hadn't seen her in a long time, and it was good to talk about things again. By that I don't mean "Oh, so what's going on in your life?"
we talked about NPR, different churches, music, how to build your own shelter, Christian schools vs. public schools, etc.

All in all, I'm glad we live closer to each other now. It was very refreshing

the American destination?

Sooo, we moved into our new house last weekend. And I'm still shocked that we got everything over in 2 trips. Levi and his family accounted for alot of the heavy lifting, since they brought an appliance dolly.
(Which if you've never seen an appliance dolly,  doesn't mean they lifted everything with their bare hands btw)


I went to see Skillet on Friday. I was really pleased, though I wish they would have done a few more of their older songs. Not to say that I don't like their newer songs, but I've been a Skillet fan ever since I was 10 years old, so do us who've been with them for a few years a favor....

John talked towards the end of the set about the two top issues people have come up to them with in the past two years. And they are in this order:

1. cutting
2. suicide


I had struggled with issues like that when I was younger, but after God got to my heart, I stopped like that. And I don't understand how you can be a Christian and think so much about darkness and pain. I don't understand so-called teen angst either. I don't understand the mindset that adults are out to get you. Some of my best friends are adults.

Things during that time period in my life weren't going that well with my family, but I realized that I could help my parents out by not totally giving up. My mother was pregnant with my little brother at the time, our sixth kid, and my dad was unemployed. The worst, and most selfish thing I could do was to let other people's words affect me,and cause me to plunge into darkness.

The american dream will not satisfy.


Look to Me, and you wil never thirst again.

*Late* new Year

I haven't exactly been on lately, I have hardly had time.

Christmas went well, I got boxes of art supplies, it makes me happy. That's exactly what I needed. It makes me exited to have new supplies

I spent New Year's at Levi's house, which was really fun. We made alot of skits, soaked, talked, had chocolate fondue, etc. I'm so happy to have these people in my life, it makes me feel so blessed too.

It is now January seventh, one week after the new year. Alot of growth has happened in the past year, lots of changes on the outside of my life, and on the inside of my heart.

God is really growing me up.
