Stress...

Why, or how do I get stressed so easily. Do I take on to much, am I involved in to many things, or is it just me being...well ME....It's almost like I take things and find some way to make it a stress on my life. I guess all I can really do is just laugh at myself for being so dumb sometimes...which is actually most of the time, but hmmm it;s ok I guess I'll be over by it tomorrow (I HOPE) =) =) =) Well besides that I have some great news...REALLY GREAT!!!


There is this friend of mine that I have been praying for, for awhile. She is the greatest friend ever...if that made any kind of since at all. Anyway, so I've been praying that one day she finds a church that she could attend regularly and be connected to...I never thought for one second though that of all churches she would take intrest in mine. One time I took her to my church, she didn't say much about it so I thought maybe she felt uncomfortable with everything and I didn't want to lose another friend over bringing them to church...it's happened before. So I just dropped the subject and I'd just continue to pray for her and that her future plans would include God or just a good christian influence.


Well we were sitting in MY NEW CAR...and she just got to talking, which is weird because she is more of a listener and I'm teh talker(suprising I know) anyway, we just talked about all sorts of things college, future plans, RELATIONSHIPS... She explained to me how I have helped her through so much (I had NO idea)


OH YA...she is an amazing softball player...FYI So, Corban(a local christian college in Oregon) has been to a few of the games to watch her and they are very interested...they are not allowed to talk to her yet because she is still a Jr. but the coach can tell her. I thougt great thanks God...that's all I really tought he would do...but I still continued to pray She realized that I have helped her through a lot when she was emailing Corban. One of the questions that they had for her was Do you consider yourself a christian (something close to that) She told them all about me and how she wants to start going to my church because she felt so connected there and feels like she would fit in so well...thanks to the Valesano's boys and myself.


She asked if she could start coming or if church was my thing that I didn't want her to get involved in...all I could do was laugh (but slightly cry on the inside with JOY) I told her that she was an answer to my many prayers and I'd hope that she would want to go with me. Not only will this totally draw her closer to the Lord, but give me someone to connect with and depend to be there for me, pray for me, and just care to help me grow...well there is one other person that does this but he's well a guy =)
I'm just so excited and hope that this step in her life will save her...FOREVER..if you're ever thinking about just remamber this friend that I mentioned and pray for her. Help her stay strong and connected to God. Pray that this be the right step in her life and that she can find church a fun and safe place to be. That she can feel connected and learn how do depend on someone that she can't see...we all know how hard that can be being a new baby Christian!!! =) Well, that's just what was on my mind so I feel better know!!! Knew I would!!!
