| Time for a little venting.
I chose Xanga to vent because there are less people that come on here anymore but I just needed to get this all out.
I see right through you. You and your words. I know exactly what you are doing, too. You say one thing... like "I'm a lot different than when you last saw me" so that in case I'M different, it won't seem weird that you've not changed. Reality is, you HAVEN'T changed.
The things you say are lies. Have you EVER been 100% honest about anything about yourself?
Do you really feel bad about not walking like a Christian?
Do you really want to just stay friends?
Do you really think she is NOT the one for you?
Have you really changed?
Then why aren't you walking like a Christian?
Then why are you hurt when I want our relationship to stay the way it is?
Then why are you dating her?
You have not changed one bit.
You don't lie very well. You can't hide very well.
I know exactly what you mean to say when you say the exact opposite.
I know you better than that.

| So just a quick update. Last time I wrote anything was March, so it's about time.
I'm mostly on Facebook, I even check my Myspace every now and then but my Xanga has most definitely taken the back burner. I know Kim is on here but I don't know who else is even on Xanga anymore.
Nothing much has been going on. Just work.
But I'm about to make some changes in my life.
We'll see how it goes but ever since I made certain decisions, I've felt a peace about it and felt MUCH better overall (physically and emotionally). But I still need lots of prayer!
I am looking forward to January as Chris and myself and his parents and sister are all coming up to NY for a visit for about a week! We are all excited about it!
That's about all I have for you right now!

| Ever wonder "What if..."?
What if I had never moved?
What if I had never quit my job?
What if I still were involved with the youth group?
What if I hadn't been scared
What if things were different...
All these "what if's"
What if these changes were all a part of God's plan for my life. I read recently in a blog of one of my friends that someone had told her "You can never mess up God's plan". Wise words.
But there is always the question of What If.
My life would be radically different had the things in my life stayed the same as they were 3, 4 years ago.
And while I miss those years and had so much fun and had experiences that I will never ever forget, my life is here and now.
I know that God has placed me where I am for a reason. Instead of finding more and more reasons to move back home to NY, I'm finding more and more reasons to stay here and see what He has in store for me.
To my friends and family that I left physically in NY, you are still with me every day. I think about you and pray for you every day and I miss you every day.
To my friends and family here in GA, I am looking forward to spending more time with you and making new memories.
I would not be who I am today without ALL of you!

| SOOOO.... my sister called me on Saturday and was like "what are you doing next week" and since I had some time off (48 hours) she decided (with some enthusiastic coaxing from myself) to fly down here to visit me!!! SHE IS ON HER WAY RIGHT NOW!! I will be heading to the airport at about 10:45, 11pm to pick her up for a fun-filled day on Thursday and then if things (things being her ticket) stay the way they are now, I will be bringing her back to the airport on Friday morning. But we are hoping to change her itinerary so that she can stay through the weekend! YAY!
THEN... in just 28 short days, ERIN is coming to see me and we are going to SixFlags over Georgia to the Cross the Line Tour where we are going to see the following:
Friday's Line-up Includes:
-
Kutless
-
Superchick
-
KJ-52
-
Britt Nicole
-
Starlit Platoon
-
Disciple
Saturday's Line-up Includes:
-
Pillar
-
Natalie Grant
-
Jimmy Needham
-
Monk and Neagle
-
Thousand Foot Krutch
-
Pocket Full of Rocks
Yeah, we are totally excited about it! AND THE BEST PART IS THAT THE CONCERTS ARE FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
So anyhow... I have much to look forward to and much to be thankful for.
I'm also hoping that sometime in April, Chris and myself will be able to come up to NY for a visit... and possibly bring one of my friends from work with me.
Keep up the prayers for job opportunities for me. I'm still looking for a new job.
Love you!

| So today (on top of many other days) was a stressful one. You have no idea how many times during the day I have to ask the Lord to help me to remain a testimony for Him and to continue to have a good attitude no matter what is going on. It's hard.
Things have not been so good lately. My job has permanently put me over at the Holiday Inn Express instead of at the Sleep Inn where I started (and loved). It's so much busier, stressful and harder. The people that stay there are not as nice either. I'm trying to be ok with it...
Today (as many days), I got in my car after work and just started crying. Just from the stress.
So I told the Lord my troubles of how I missed working in a Christian atmosphere. How I missed doing something that was furthering HIS work. How I missed having my own personal work space that I could fill with things that I love (family and friends). I asked Him to help me find a new job.
Wouldn't you know, this song came on the radio.
In the corners of mind
I just can't seem to find a reason to believe
That I can break free
Cause you see I have been down for so long
Feel like the hope is gone
But as I lift my hands, I understand
That I should praise you through my circumstance
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you
Everything that could go wrong
All went wrong at one time
So much pressure fell on me
I thought I was gonna lose my mind
But I know you wanna see
If I will hold on through these trials
But I need you to lift this load
Cause I can't take it anymore
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you
Been through the fire and the rain
Bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain
So let me go right now
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise you
I just wanna praise you
You broke the chains now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise you
I'm gonna praise you
-Shackles by Mary Mary-
Yes, I cried as I sang along with Mary Mary and probably looked a mess... but really, that is exactly what my heart was experiencing at that moment, but the Lord reminded me that He has His hand in my life and He knows what is going on and why I am where I am. He knows when the perfect time to get a new job will be.
Just a picture for you.
