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!!!

NEW CAR...

So pretty much it is totally amazing and I love it in every way...just need to get the windows tinted and add those little personal touches...sorry I can't seem to get my camera to work so you'll just have to see it in person...YAY!!!

A NEW EVERYTHING?!?

Ya, that's what it seems like today! it started pretty good with my first day up and back at school...oh I missed it hehehe...anyway I had to teach my last lesson for STARS(although I couldn't talk much I tried) which went well while I was there...which was not for long because my dad, kylee(a friend) and I were on the hunt for the perfect new car for me. WHICH WE FOUND, THAT'S RIGHT I HAVE A NEW CAR...that's one new thing I can't officially drive it yet though because we are still waiting for all the paperwork to go through and all the cool not so cool stuff. but YAY i'm petty excited...sorry no pictures yet but I'll try and get some ASAP for ya =) I went back to finish STARS and then went to school (for the first time that day) around 1:40 or so...so basically only 1 hour or school for me today...YAY ME!!! To wrap up the afternoon I, well, did what I always do, go to work...at least it is not a long shift (unless 3 hours is long to you that is) after work I can home and was starving because I still can't eat very much so I tryed to think of something to eat...i decided on some TOMATO SOUP...yummy It was so good, much better then the ice cream that I have been living off of =)=)=) then it was onto worship practice where I pick up Jenny and Josh and we fill the car with talk of are weeks and life (which usually means them teasing me about liking this certain someone...you know who you are ;) worship practice went well...really well that certain someone and I talk and everything...well kinda...is out in the open (that is with each other not announced to the youth group...but at this point I'm pretty sure they all already know anyway...lol) that's my other NEW...maybe a new relationship of some sort It's kinda hard to explain because, well, it just is I'll just say that he can't date now...BUT I"M TOTALLY WILLING TO WAIT!!! I don't know what all that means or what I'm getting myself into, but I think it will all be worth it in th end...I'm just praying that God can keep it in his hands...well I love you all but it's getting late and past my 9:42 bed time hehehe...so night

Hmmm...

Well today I'm still stuck on the couch. Why do parents think that sitting on the couch all day will heal any kinda of sickness or pain that you are going through?!? ever thought about that? Kinda funny huh... Anyway, I slept really good last night except for the one time I jammed my face into the couch...so I woke up with the one side of my face pretty swollen. It is the side they bone grafted from too...but I'm on no pain mdes anymore which is really exciting!!! That stuff makes me so out of it. It sucks that I have to sit on the couch all day because Mayzie (my sister) has a softball game thst I'm not going to be able to go to =( I just hope that I don't have to miss church on Sunday...I don't think that I will but I don't know what my parents are thinking. Anyway, you know what's funny no matter how much I think I'm writing it's really nothing compared to Mrs. Valesano...hehehe =) That's ok I'll get there one day...when I have better and more stories...

SURGERY STINKS...

Ya that's right it totally stinks. I'm actually not as horrible as i thought. I'm a little swollen on one side because they did have to bone graft...which means take it from my jaw so I'm a little sore on that side. I'm just pretty tired now coming off of the sleepy stuff...hehehe...and I'm on pain meds that make me tired but other then that I'm doing great. EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT I AM TOTALLY NOY CUTE ANYMORE I don't like that so much...but you know what i do like is that boy with all of the secrets... Anyway, I'm pretty bored because I can't do much, but maybe it's good for me to just slow down for a little bit and take a break from my very crazy, busy never ending life hehehe!!! I know more then one person though that would love for me to just take a break and slow down so I stop forgetting things...like my worship music... Well i better get goign for now...but I'm sure I'll write later WHEN I"M REALLY BORED!!! =) =) =) Love ya all!!!
