from meganwaits :
at the moment..i started http://megsworldnow.blogspot.com since I don't have a goldmembership here.
from meganwaits :
Wow...you updated and I hadn't even noticed..and 19 days later I finally check out your entry. Cool. Lucky you. You have to be thankul you have it so great. If I was coming back from somewhere..it would probably take me all summer to find a job. But not to say, I'm looking for a job. I'm hanging on to the one I have, at the moment anyway. Other than that, I think I've actually found what I wanted, too. Sorry to ramble. Wish you a fun summer and all the best.
from megsworld2 :
I just saw the video at You Tube when I looked up Sufjan Stevens music. She's really cool, but I don't think she's professional or anything. She does a kelly clarkson song too (only i think she played guitar too loud in that video), but this one was just amazingingly, perfect. Glad you liked it. I love that song.
from meganwaits :
you are tagged!
from meganwaits :
Hey, bet you'll find a dress. Although, you can get in some fixes. Like if you get it too early, it might not fit. That's what happened to a friend of mine once. Then another was going to remake the dress but decided to do so on the day of the prom. Definitely, don't wait that late. I don't think she ever did get to redo that wedding dress. Who knows you might get a real sale, too.
from my-replay :
mm I like you. you're in the same prom situation as me .. behind.
from meganwaits :
Actually, I really think the first connection we make is "lust". Its something you want more of. And then you go a little crazy about how to get to know that person. The lengths you go too..which can get you in to trouble. And you feel like afterwhile..is this some kind of addiction? Then suddenly, like you kind of said..it wares off. Thats when you got to find the love. Thats when you have to be more giving, more listening, more understanding(you have to want too & if thats not there..well..better to stay friends). All that background stuff you never thought of before like his grandparents, etc. Anyway, one step at time. Sometimes, half the fun is watching where it goes and hopefully, both of you grow.
from blacknight53 :
i wish your parents didn't find it .I really enjoy reading our diary
from megsworld2 :
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay strong. Thanks for leaving me a note.
from megsworld2 :
Hey, maybe you should start writing more songs. That 1st paragraph could be a great starter. Hang in there.
from meganwaits :
How are you doing these days?
from blacknight53 :
when are you going to update
from meganwaits :
I'm really excited for you! Sounds like you're off to a great start this year.
from meganwaits :
Maybe thats just muscle you put on. Think positive. I hope things go ok with you on the ultra sound, too. Do you think you would have got upset at that dinner? You're in my thoughts.
from megsworld2 :
Hey, be careful, ok. I know, live and learn. Its strange how the body and mind can work against each other, sometimes. Maybe its body and spirit. But uh, been there..done that. Just remember take care of those emotions. And right now emotions are really freaky during the holidays.
from youfoundme :
Taoism is basically where you ask questions and leave them open. Unlike other religions where answers are important, to the Taoist, answers are of no importance. It is about embracing the moment and following nature's way and letting go of attachments to unimportant things and not worrying. It's a real eye-opener and it really brings you a sense of peace in the world. Anyways, thanks for the comment!
from youfoundme :
I'm a midwestern girl too. I really like your poetry, you show lots of talent.
from risingfaith :
Thanks for commenting on my entries. I love reading yours too. Your zest for life never fails to impress me. Take care and have a great Thanksgiving. Later.
from meganwaits :
Hey, aren't you glad you're so smart about "you know who"? Well, hope things go smoothly for Thanksgiving. Sounds like you're on the start for a fun holiday.
from meganwaits :
Hey I can't get to your Suttlegrace diary yet..something about not being in the directory? Hope you're staying warm. Happy Thanksgiving
from megsworld2 :
You're right. Especially the way last night turned out.
from meganwaits :
Knitting and a hurt shoulder...I'm not sure those go together. But I hope you get some rest. Doesn't sound like a fun weekend you're having. Yeah, I'm having some wisdom tooth pain too. Its strange because, my mom keeps saying its my sinuses. I have no idea what she's talking about.
from meganwaits :
lentles and tomatoes....I don't know if I could make a meal on that. Makes me think too much of my Dad's lentle soup that he practically eats everyday. Now he tells me he makes buffalo and lentle soup. Scary.
from meganwaits :
Sorry to hear how you've "fallen" out from church. I'll admit I'm guilty of it myself. Having faith though has a lot more to do than just being there at church and even rereading again and again all those scriptures. I really think the faith you have is finding God in you. And you'll only feel it when you're helping others and doing good works. But even then, you aren't sure. Your real testment is how you live not how well you know the Bible. And in trouble times, continue to pray for all those around you. I'm sure you're still praying for your Dad. Pray for yourself too..to gain the strength in how to communicate with him ..continue to stand strong for yourself. And even times you feel so lost, keep believing. Sometimes, it takes years to find the blessings in your life. Mattos is such a romantic name. Keep smiling.
from megsworld2 :
Remember you're a wonderful, creative person. And even if you don't want to think about it, well..there are other people's feelings to think about when it comes to things that you do in your life. And not that I think that all the time how somebody else might react to my own actions. I remember how I felt when I found out about other friends going through you know, what I've gone through. Funny, how I didn't feel that way about myself. Sure on one hand, its like a stepping stone. A right of passage. Maturity. I guess that was the only thing on my mind when I decided not to be virgin. Plus the fact..I trusted the guy. Thinking, the brillance of it..and yet later, the loss and a cloudy luster. Anyway, no matter what, just be ready to pay the consequence.
from megsworld2 :
hmm..have you talked to Jacob about this? What would he do? All I can say is that you have to guard yourself no matter what. Emotionally. Physically. And think. And pray. Think some more. This is something you don't want to regret. You've got to ask yourself a lot of questions. And you find yourself getting all tough, thinking, well, I could hate this guy as much as I love him. Or you tell yourself, I'm not going to feel anything. Well, of course you are. I'd say wait a year.
from meganwaits :
"I'm going to walk out onto more limbs. Because that's the only way to grow. To bend and not break."- Powerful stuff. Be careful, though.
from lilnik :
Refering back to paying for college on your own: you really do appreciate it more and work harder on your education! I think it's great that you want to do that, but also don't think it's wrong to accept a little help when you need it. :) Take care hun
from meganwaits :
I hope your weekend has gotten better. Hope things with your Dad have gotten better too. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
from lilnik :
It's great that you're exploring love, Grace, but don't forget that there's a never-ending love with God as well. I hope your senior year continues to go as well as it sounds like it has so far!
from megsworld2 :
I guess this diary is more of a personal side. Or someone else I've become. Maybe. Or just some where I can speak my mind about me and crushes and whatever. You're still my favorite diary.
from lilnik :
haha, oh Grace... I love how you went from serious political stance back to being a young girl thinking about cleaning her closet. :) You're very diverse! Have a great week
from meganwaits :
Thanks for asking about the pic. That's Courtney Jaye. I picked up her debut cd on Tuesday. Its really cheap at Target. I think she's got a hearty voice, but I'm not sure about her songwriting. I've only actually listened to her cd once, and I wasn't exactly excited. Of course, my boyfriend kept saying, "Why are you listening to this? Its country!" But its really not. Not twangy by any means. So I feel like I didn't get a good listen to it yet..anyway, went to her website and I really liked this picture..mainly because of the "gustar" sticker on the guitar. Of course, she mentioned some shallow stuff about spending a year surfing and whatever which kind of put me off. I think she needs to live a little differently if she's really going to let her songwriting take off. Of course, I'm no songwriter, but when you listen to songs by someone like Jolie Holland, you just know, she's got this richness of experience or either she listened to lots of alternative folk artists.
from lilnik :
Your post was very beautifully written. I think its ironic because I feel as if I'm going through a very similar thing with my ex right now.. I hope everything works out for you both. :)
from life4rent :
Thanx for adding me.<3333
from meganwaits :
You're so strong. All the best on summer. Sounds like you're ready to tackle anything that comes your way.
from alwayshiding :
Hey! I'm glad to see you're happy. I've fallen behind on a lot of diaries. I'm also glad you have kept in touch with a friend that moved away. I'm hoping I'll do the same when all my friends go away to college. I'm happy that you're so content with life. Something I wish I could be. Have fun, and goodluck with the AIM thing. <3 Jess
from godsong :
Hey Grace - glad to see things are going well. Keep trusting in God - in good times and in bad times. He's truly in control. God bless!
from meganwaits :
Hey, wishing you lots of surprises even when you fall. And its good to admit you're afraid. Now take that first step forward.
from angelicjess :
hey, drama sucks. I went through it a lot in highschool. I had a lot of friends that were just friends, then we all had a huge fight splitting us all apart. Now theres just the five of us girls, and we're all really close. It's great. The drama will definitely die down, just give it time. I hate drama, and was only in the middle because I was the only one that ever said anything. But good luck with all the drama, sorry to hear about what Amy did, but I'm glad it all worked out.
from alwayshiding :
Hey, thanks for the note. I'll try and stop, but its not as easy as it may sound. But I'll try, thanks for the note :). <3 Jess
from alwayshiding :
hey! thank you so much for sticking there without the constant updating :p. I'm glad to see you find my other diary, its a little different and not as honest as my other one, considering none of my friends no it. but thanks for the notes, it makes me keep my head up :). <3 Jess
from meganwaits :
More people need to read your diary. I hope they will this year. I know I am. Thanks for the note. I will confess, my room is sort of in a mess again. One side looks great. I just have so much junk.
from meganwaits :
Happy Holidays!
from meganwaits :
Hey, glad to hear you and Alex had a great time on your date. Hope you got a lot of shopping done.
from meganwaits :
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you had a great time with Alex or is that Alec?
from perdygirl :
I'm glad you're starting to feel better about yourself. :)
from mixtape- :
i used to believe that anything was possible in america. but it's not true. it really is not. our country is so messed up right now and it'll get even more messed up. and i had hope. i truly did. until last night when my country decided to vote for someone who has done nothing but hurt us and the whole world in the last 4 years. they support all of the things he stands for & has done and that makes me ashamed to be an american. im not proud of the fact that gay marriage is banned in a lot of states. im not proud that women will probably have their rights taken away. im not proud of the fact that we attacked an innocent country and so many people died & are still dying. i'm not proud of the fact that americans discriminate others because of their sexuality. i'm not proud of the fact that people use their religion against everything and care more about that than each other. the list goes on, but what im the most ashamed of is the fact that america chose an IDIOT for a present. someone who wasn't supposed to be in the oval office in the first place.
from godsong :
I know that things seem so difficult right now. But you know the truth - cling to that! I truly do understand the doubts and the desires - but believe me, there is something better waitign for you. God already had it designed for the right time and place in your life! I'm here (ljones8155@comcast.net) if you need someone to talk to. God bless.
from meganwaits :
I'm glad I just read your last entry. It helps. It really does. & thanks for understanding, too. Stay strong.
from alwayshiding :
heyy, I used have a guy I thought I liked, but I began to hate too. Then there would be that other guy you like, but he doesn't get you. I understand exactly what you're talking about. And.. if I'm assuming correctly. The taste it the most horrible thing in the world. Eventually, it doesn't bother you anymore. Goodluck with your situation though girl. <3Jess
from alwayshiding :
Hey, thanks for the message. I didn't think anyone read my diary still, due to the lack of updates. But thanks again for that. :) <3 Jess
from meganwaits :
Yikes, I always sound like I'm on something (which I'm not) when I write you a note. Lack of sleep, I guess. Anyway, that is so cool. New York City. Are you ready to pack your bags and move there? Well, when you write about Elliot..I keep thinking Elliot Smith since I've been listening to his stuff this week..and well, I guess your Elliot can't be all bad. But just remember, stand your ground.
from meganwaits :
Wow..so thinks are um..looking interesting with you and Sandy. Sandy's an interesting name for a guy, btw. Hope you have a good weekend.
from meganwaits :
oh..you naughty player you! Just teasing. On the bright side you'll be on a "group" thing. And that should be good. You know, not so much "Alone time" with you know who. So can Sandy take a rain check or maybe you could invite him out some other time...its hard to say. I should not give advice...sometimes, it just stirs up more trouble. But hopefully, you'll have lots of usual fun with your friends. Its horrible though when you go with someone you don't want to go with. Pity dates suck. And I have to say I really didn't want to go with Holden..and believe me he was a real butthead too.
from meganwaits :
I hope your Dad will get the help he needs. But if he's like my Dad, he won't go to the doctor. My Dad gets depressed too. He gets really quiet about it for the most part, but you know its there. Mainly, its had to do with not find work & the divorce. My Mom always says he's going through the "change". My Dad is a little older than your Dad. And she says he wasn't like that when she first met him. Its like he's grouchy, a lot. Well, not always. But its true about things evolving. Its just one of those thing you don't think about when "maturing" is involved. But Mom vouches he's just like his Dad. And his father was always like the best grandfather to me..so maybe there is hope if he's ever a grandfather. Thanks for sharing all this in your entry.
from meganwaits :
I've just been catching up. I'm sorry it took so long. You're so enlightening. You really are. I pray that you continue to stay strong and have the best year in everything that you do.
from perdygirl :
Thanks. I try! :D
from perdygirl :
I'm sorry you and your boyfriend broke up, but you never know what God has in store for you next!
from meganwaits :
You're so brave. You know that. Thanks for the encouragement.
from perdygirl :
yeah... I was just kinda down when I wrote that entry, though I feel bad talking about Kenya so much! I feel like everybody gets sick of hearing it. I just don't want to bore everybody to tears!
from perdygirl :
thanks for the note!
from meganwaits :
Thanks for the note. I've been catching up with you. I love your diary so much. I just hope things are going ok with you. And I hope you haven't given up the sports you excel in. Its peculair now how you were thinking about breaking up with him on his birthday. And look what happens to me. I guess in everything, you have this dark and bright side every day of your life. And its so easy to find the dark things. Which is really scary. Yeah, lets hope we both find the brighter things. Stay strong. -Meg
from so-odd :
god didn't write the bible, hun.
from perdygirl :
yeah... its not that i have a bad relationship with my parents... we get along but that's about it... i never really tell them anything because i just feel like i can't, but it is good to know i'm not the only one!
from meganwaits :
What happened? Nothing. Really, just nothing. That pretty much sums it up.
from meganwaits :
I know, I can't believe I called her Mom, either. I really don't want to think about it at the moment. Thanks again.
from meganwaits :
Its good to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Hey, great score on the golf. You go girl!
from starlet-21 :
thank you so much. it means more than you could possibly know. <3 katie
from gracerie595 :
i'm gonna sleep on those questions. thanks for asking them...really. I should really start thinkin more before I do things. don't worry, havn't done anything stupid yet.
from godsong :
3 questions for you - why would you sneak out if you know that it's maybe not a good thing to do? What would happen if you got caught? And - any chance you might share some of your lyrics on your diary? I'd love to read them! (Only asking the 1st to to make sure you think about your actions and how they may be perceived by others)
from meganwaits :
Seems like you're between a rock & a hard place. I guess, keep being the role model you are...but then again you might have to bug them...like how come we don't hang out anymore or about things they used to like to do. You'll be in my prayers as well as your friends. Keep being you.
from godsong :
It's awesome news about your new guitar! That's great! Also glad to hear thigns are going well with Elliot - i'd love to hear more about him! God bless!
from perdygirl :
Well, I leave the 3rd (this Thursday) for Africa, and I'll be gone 3 weeks! (18 days to be exact.) That's great that you want to go! I hope it works out for you and God gives you such an awesome opportunity!
from perdygirl :
I'm the same way about not being a person to show affection, so don't feel like you're the only one! I'm sure everything will work out and you'll be more comfortable!
from meganwaits :
Great about the guitar. I know what you mean about the "affectionate thing" when you figure it out, let me know. Meanwhile, have fun.
from godsong :
hey there - i'm sure that Elliot is just fine with how affectionate you're being right now. God bless!
from godsong :
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:6-7
from godsong :
I'm so glad to hear you had a good time on your date! Have a wonderful weekend! God bless!
from meganwaits :
I'm glad I didn't sound too crazy.
from alwayshiding :
thank you so much. I honestly don't know what to say. I look forward for your notes or guestbook entries. They kinda make me believe.. er something lol. I'll try to find someone that I can talk to.. but right its kinda hard with everything happening. But thanks for reading and leaving notes :)
from godsong :
thanks for the note! I couldn't remember whose diary it was! But thanks for reminding me...hope all is well!
from perdygirl :
Happy B-day!
from godsong :
Good morning...I don't think you have to worry about the endurance thing...God will bless you with the strength and wisdom you need for each situation you find yourself in, especially when you make him a priority in your life! Happy Easter!
from godsong :
Happy Birthday! May God bless you during this coming year. Enjoy your day today...sounds like you made some great decisions last night. That's awesome!
from godsong :
Thanks for adding me to you favorites! I've done the same - looking forward to getting to know you. God bless!
from meganwaits :
You must be excited about your friend having a baby soon. The shower sounds like really great idea for her and her family. Thanks for sharing about the new class at your church too.
from perdygirl :
That's really cool that your b-day's on Good Friday... what an awesome message from God!
from meganwaits :
Thanks very much for the advice.
from starlet-21 :
you are such a doll. that compliment meant the world. i don't get many notes anymore. heh. especially now that i've moved over to livejournal. <3 katie
from perdygirl :
Hi again! Read your entry that started with Romans 12:2, just thought I'd share that that's been a big part of my sunday school lessons lately...definately a good verse to remember!
from perdygirl :
I really enjoy your diary... mind if I buddy list you? You seem like such an awesome person!
from iamblessed :
hey! thanks for the note you left me! I'll have to check out your diary! It's so great to find new Christian brothers and sisters online, and I don't know if you've already found it, but if you've got some time, check out lightedpath.diaryland.com, my friend Christy runs it. It's a Christian directory, and I've met lots of awesome people through it. So yeah, if you're interested, join in the fun! hehe I sound like I'm trying to advertise it or something. No, I just noticed that you weren't listed and I thought maybe you'd like to know about it. If you already did know about it, I'm sorry for rambling. I do that quite often. Not a good thing most of the time. Anyways, I'll hopefully be talking to you sometime! Great to see so many believers all on one website! In His Hands, Courtney
from meganwaits :
The whole gay marriage thing is a very touchy subject. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there no matter what their preference shoudn't get married at all. But then there are those who have made a real commitment to a person, even had to leave families because they weren't accepted anymore and I'm sure this will help their future, financially and emotionally. It is hard to accept. I think if we have a "marriage" law there should just be one for a partner marriage. But I'm sure there are those who would never accept that. I have a feeling it'll be an issue talked about but not much done at least for awhile.
from meganwaits :
Thanks for the note. I will do my best to remember that.
from starlet-21 :
darling, you have no idea how much your sweet little notes mean to me. just the fact that someone who doesn't know me cares enough to leave me encouraging words to help me get through everything is enough to make me cry. thank you and i'm here if you ever need anything, beautiful. <3 - katie
from meganwaits :
I'm so excited for you! Congrads on the competion. I hope things go well for you next weekend too.
from alwayshiding :
Thanks for the entry! Congrats on your swim times and getting shave. lol. I know how you feel, only I was on swim team for 2 years. And good luck at districts!
from meganwaits :
That was a great entry you wrote about how we come from nothing. Its one of those quotes I want to keep remembering to be grateful for all the gifts God gives us. Thank you.
from meganwaits :
Good luck with the swimming. Hope you have a great weekend.
from starlet-21 :
thanks for the note, darling. you're such a sweetheart. keep in touch, beautiful. <3 - katie
from meganwaits :
At the momement I'm going to a nondenominational church. We have communion every Sunday. Perhaps not as good as communion at the Methodist church I used to attend. Although, it was like once a month there. I hope you have a good Sunday.
from meganwaits :
Just one more thing..thats my favorite Guster song.. =D
from meganwaits :
Thanks so much for the note. I'll be sure to check you out daily.
from meganwaits :
Hi, you really have a unique diary. You make me look at art a different way. Thanks for being here.
from alwayshiding :
Just wanna say hey. My trip went great. and I just want to let you know that I really like how you don't let peer pressure bother you.
from starlet-21 :
thanks so much for the note, darling. it meant the world to me. keep in touch. <3 - katie
from jesus-freaks :
Are you a Jesus Freaks? Are you looking to dig into God's word and hear other people's opinions on different Scriptures, and be able to post your own opinion too? Check out Jesus Freaks!
from mixtape- :

from black--daisy :
;D n/p
from saphir :
Thank you for the note/advice, it meant a lot, and the advice is sound. I would love it if you could find some Verses, but I don't want to put you out. Thank you for the emotional support, I appreciate it. :)
from black--daisy :
cool diary! im saphirs friend!
from greenthinker :
hi there, thanks for leaving me that note. I read some of your entries, and I really admire your passion for things. I thought I'd let you know that I'm going to add you to my favorites. :) (sally)
from saphir :
technically I'm Finnish Apostolic Lutheran, but there isn't a congregation in Las Vegas. The church I currently attend is non-demoninational, that's really the only way I can think to describe it. It's mainly born-again ex-cons; the testimonies they give are amazing. The Left Behind series is great! What's your favorite book?
from saphir :
hello, I saw your note and I wanted to thank you, I did take it as a compliment. We seem to have a lot in common, i.e John Mayer, Dashboard Confessional, Alice Sebold, Gladiator... it goes on. I'll definately be coming back.
from alwayshiding :
hey, I've been reading your diary. I realized that you went through all the same stuff I did when I first entered highschool. All my friends drifted apart in ninth grade, and it happened again, now that i'm a junior. Keep as many close friends that you can, you'll need them. Not to scare you or anything, but I didnt hang on to mine like I should have, and now I have the two most amazing bestfriends in the world.. but sometimes you just want to talk to someone else. I dont know.. goodluck in highschool hun, junior years a tuffy.
from lilnik :
I love the verse from 1 Thessalonians! That is so true, and I really needed to be reminded of that... I pray that God shows you His path for you, whether or not it involves swimming. Doors of opporunity will always be opened to you, it's just hard to know which door is the one that will lead you where you need to be.
from grungeguy :
hello?
from lilnik :
Never forget to fully rely on God! I know it's hard to do at all times, but it really does make life better. I'll give you a few inspiring verses to check out incase you need them... My personal favorite, Psalm 37:4. Then there's always the entire book of 1 Corinthian's.. all about love, and completely amazing to read when you feel that nothing is worth trying for anymore. Also, know that I love you as a sister of Christ, so if you ever need to talk to someone who has no relation to your "real" life, send an email my way. :) lilniknack@hotmail.com I hope things get better, Grace. You deserve the best! Depend on God!
from lilnik :
Hey hun! Thanks for stopping by my diary and leaving a note :) I love hearing from people about how God is working in their lives. I'm glad that update was reminder to you, it was one to me as well! Sometimes we don't stop and think how God would question us, we're too busy questioning Him. I'll keep coming back to your diary to see how you're doing and what's new in your life. Scary about the bomb threats, we had those too and it turned out to be some freshmen that just thought it would bring some excitement to school.. not funny. :( Have a great week..and remember Jesus Saves!
