YAAAAAAYYYY!!!! I love hearing from you!! I understand what you mean about some friends being in your life for just a fleeting moment. I don't like that very much and don't accept it very readily... But I'm learning that you've just got to let it happen sometimes. Hard lesson! But God's teaching me. You should ready my D-land entry about Camp May-Mac. I'm glad to hear things are still going well! Have fun with those kids!!

I'm a friend of Cheryl's...found your diary from her profile. And... I live in Kentucky, too!!! When I saw that, I thought, I gotta meet this girl. :-) I'm looking for new friends...I've been so lonely lately, seems like I never have anyone to talk to online. Or anywhere, for that matter. Anyway, my name is Amy. What's yours?

WOO, you're gonna call me?? I think that would be totally cool! :D But, as I said in the letter (I'm so sorry I didn't get it out soon enough!), I was aiming for a call at home when Mom and I were both there so we could figure stuff out, like what we could do and whatnot... I'll be home from college May 13-ish. If you're comfortable with calling me(and only if you're comfortable with it!), that'd be the best time--even though it's less than three months away from your wedding! Boy, I sure hope all this works out. And I miss you too! Love, Steph

Don't be too hard on yourself, Ang. You're not a terrible friend! I hadn't said anything in my diary or MySpace yet, so how could you have known? :) Anyway... I'll do okay. It'll be hard, but I'll be okay, with prayer and friend support. Boy support doesn't hurt either. ;) Did you see the comment Isaac left on my MySpace blog? It was nice of him. I got one and a half sermons from my Grandpa and one in-your-face reality check from a magazine this weekend about guys you meet online, so I'm not making too much of it. How was your Easter?

Ha, yes, I'm leaving you another note. This one's in reply to your note to me. I wonder if my dream does mean something? Do you remember that one dream I had about arranged marriages? Wait... I don't think I put that on D-land. I feel an addendum to today's entry coming on. Anyway. I did learn something from that dream (the arranged marriages one): marriage scares me to death right now. I just don't feel like I'm going to know the guy well enough to know if I'll be able to commit to him for the REST of my LIFE. That dream and that message from the dream has stuck firmly in my head, and I had that dream clear back at the end of February. Anyway, my point was, I don't think this dream is like that... It'd be fun to speculate, but though the dream touched me, it didn't touch me as deeply as that arranged marriages one. If I'm wrong, and God really is trying to send me a message through this dream from today, then he will send it again--or another one similar to it. That's what he did in the Bible, isn't it? :) All righty, talk to you later! Love, Steph

Oh good grief... Days? Well, I suppose your guys' marriage is imminent. But when I read that, I thought of Liz. My best friend that just got engaged? Starting the 25th of this month, she will be out of contact with her fiancé for at least 6 weeks, and then she won't see him for two years. Yes, I said two years. See, he's going into the Air Force... He's going to Basic Training--they don't allow phone calls in that time--and then he'll be off to wherever they send him for two years. I think you should consider yourself lucky. I also think I'm writing this out of slight bitterness, so I'm sorry that it came out that way. On a lighter note...I'm glad your sister's started dating that guy you wanted her to. I'm glad you get to see her happy... That's really cool. :) Did you get engagement pictures? Are those the ones you were saying you'll be putting up? I can't wait to see them! In the meantime... Don't get too stressed, okay? Love you, Steph

I didn't realize you didn't know... It's not something I'm uncomfortable about talking about. My parents divorced when I was about a year and a half old. Sam was 7 months old. Neither of us remember him. He came to my high school graduation; it was the first time I had ever seen him. It wasn't the first time I'd heard from him... He wrote Sam and I a couple of letters when we were 7 and 8 or somewhere around there. Then he stopped and I didn't hear from him again till I was a freshman in high school. Part of it was because he wasn't sure what Mom thought of him writing us, I suppose. Anyway, he started writing us again when I was in high school, as I said. We wrote pretty regularly until... somewhere before my graduation. I just slacked off. :P Not on purpose... I just got interested in other things (heh, like a boyfriend? :) ). Anyway. We e-mail now, and even that's not very regular! I wish I had more time or will to write or something... I hope my dad understands. I'm just a busy college girl. But that's turning into my excuse for everything... I don't know. It'll sort itself out. Thanks for your note... Did you get my "letter" yet? :)

Man, I don't know anything about wedding music... I've only been to three weddings in my life... But I did find a song that might work for walking down the aisle. It alternates between sad and happy, which I think most wedding music does. The only thing is that it ends on kind of a sad note. It's called "Song from a Secret Garden" by a couple (brother sister, maybe?) that call themselves Secret Garden. It's on their CD Dreamcatcher. The whole CD has beautiful music on it. Go to Amazon.com or do a Yahoo! audio search to listen to a clip of it, if you want. It's also on WalMart.com, I guess. I wish I could send it to you myself, but I don't own the CD. It sounds like Michael W. Smith's song "Prayer For Taylor" on his CD Freedom--but slower, and it stays a steady pace. Well, that's my two cents' worth. I couldn't find anything good for recessional, but I'll keep an ear open. :P In the meantime, I need to be studying for my Ed. Psych exam! Love you! Steph

I wish I could talk to you too. Like, I mean talk, instead of notes and e-mails. It's too bad you don't have access to AIM and MSN.
But anyway, as for talking, in other definitions, to you about it... I wrote about the sad part in my diary instead of telling you about it because I want to be the one being happy for you. You know what I mean. You said your family's not exactly happy, and I want to be somebody supportive. I AM happy for you, and I AM supportive... I hope you know that, though I know I'm screwing it up with all the melodrama, LOL... I'm just sad too and I didn't want to have to tell you about that personally. Come to think of it, hm... That's pretty silly. You probably would prefer me to tell you about it personally like I preferred you to tell me your news personally. I guess I didn't think of that. Anyway, I've written you two e-mails already, but I think I'm going to write you another one. :) On MySpace, probably. I do like sharing my feelings with the whole world, but some things I DO like to keep private, and this is one of them. So I'll "talk" to you soon. :) Love you, Stephanie

I sort of left MySpace. As you can see on my profile, I still log in every day on it. :P What I really am trying to do is stop getting worked up over what other people are doing to themselves--people like some old classmates and a girl who went to college last year. I've just encountered a lot of heartbreak over them recently and it just got to be too much, so I stopped frequenting my friends' MySpace profiles, and I don't post anymore on there. I've returned to my "first love", so to speak: Diaryland. :) And I log onto MySpace to check comments, etc., but that's about all I do, which suits me.
I'm really sorry about Mark. I really can't imagine how awful that must've been. I think one day he'll wake up, but not soon. It'll take time. In the meantime, better avoid his site and his sister's. If it's really distressing you, perhaps you might take a break from MySpace, too. We'll beat it together. With a stick. ;) Kidding; I know MySpace isn't all bad, but it's certainly still a tool Satan can use against us. You know that.
Love you to pieces, hon. I'll try to resend that card, maybe, if I can figure out why it didn't go through in the first place. Talk to you soon... Steph

Hey Ang. I miss you! :) Thanks for your prayer for my sister. She's doing a little better, I think... I don't really want to announce this to the whole world, but she's having a lot of trouble getting over a guy she was dating earlier this year. She hasn't quite got over him yet, though she says she has. She's strong; she will bounce back. It just might take a while. Thanks, again, for your love and concern for my sis. I'll tell her, so she'll know people love her. :) Love, Stephanie

Trust me, you were loads of help. How could I forget someone who I thought was honestly an angel, sent to watch over me, protect me, guide me? It's so strange how someone so far away, with no real reason to even speak to me, could care enough to write me notes of encouragement, pray for me, even think of me for a moment. So strange. I love you for what you've done for me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I definitely miss you too, talking to you always made me so happy. I thought you had forgotten about me, or just given up on me when I stopped getting notes. I'm glad to see that I wasn't completely forgotten, just waylaid because of "technical difficulties". Thanks again.

Well, I'm not leaving. But in a sense you are. Getting married equals leaving. You won't be part of my world anymore. You won't be able to relate as much. I'm not angry, just...sad. The songs were about letting go, and somehow I've got to do that. So I wrote an entry to you and about you. I love you very much, as I'm sure you know by now. :) God was good for bringing you into my life. You've been an incredible friend since day one. And I feel like I'm writing a eulogy... lol... Technically, it is; eulogies are speeches in praise of people and aren't restricted to just dead people.... lol... I learned that last year in Speech class... Um, anyway, does the entry make more sense now? I wrote a poem that kind of goes with it on MySpace which you can read if you want. (But I don't know if you'll want; it is DEPRESSING!) So anyway, Ang, I love you dearly. You're like a sister or something. But I've got to stop or this note will go on forever. :) Love in Christ, Stephanie

Hey! Long time no see. Sorry about the down and out enteries. There's just so much junk going on... to the point that I dont know whats going on with Mike and me.

Hes all that I have right now that will truly always be there. I guess I just need lots of prayer because each day seems to become a lot harder.

I finished reading <u>Remember me</u> awhile ago. One of the main characters is a woman who has PTSD. She lost a boy when a train hit her car, and people think she's not entirely capable of taking care of her new daughter. She came close to the breaking point when she had flashbacks to the previous accident along with hearing a train at night. I enjoyed the book. I don't want to go into all the twists in it, and end up ruining it for you.

Hey... lol. thanks. You know what. I didnt go. :( My sister wasn't going to go. She turned down an offer so she would leave me hanging so I couldnt leave her like that.

A bigh shodown was happening so my sister and I went to the store, bought food, and we had Lador Day Dinner at our house... strange. But no worries, I'll be getting a call from that group because they will have a bible study soon. It's not too late but I need to become active right away. Thanks again for you words!

Thanks so much for your note, you always give me a smile and hope. Honestly, yesterday was a really day for me. It was one of those days that you cried over EVERYTHING. Just, I felt so hopeless and bounded by what I see and hear. I have been backsliding a bit. Something I know with fellowship and Word cand remedied. I have been looking for fellowship at colege, but after I saw those people condemning others, I dont know. I was so angry and frustrated at this. I didnt want to be involved with a group that apporached others in such a horrible way. I want to preach the love Christ and by doing this, conviction will upon people's hearts, then they will learn what God saved them from. I dont know why I was all tears and "pity me" yesterday... seems kind of dumb now, but Im glad I got it out of my system. I see hope now, and light, I suppose, that will guide me and direct me. I prayed last light, with tears. Prayer... once you do it, once you let it all out to God, it seems like His wondrous arms wrap around and tell "It's ok. I'm here, your comforter, and I will never abandon you." But thank you, again, for your prayers, your words, and your friendship. May He bless you abundantly and fill your soul with His Holy Spirit and joy! -Hope- p.s. sorry this is kinda long.

I didn't really want to get into specifics of it because it didn't matter. Email me sometime! Then we can actually -write-. Much of me --Jennifer

I'm sorry to hear about your cruddy week and what happened to your friend. =[ AH, I'm still trying to keep it positive...the layout didnt hit me as being sad. I like being alone sometimes but...I thought it was pretty. Didn't hit me as being depressed much at all. Also, boys dont and I dont think WILL EVER get me depressed. Me constantly thinking about him is A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE though. RIGHT NOW as I type this, I'm waiting for him to come online. OR call me. This is psychotic, I tell you. =]

Oh, I see you've updated too. In that case I'll have to reply to it. :) Geez, you had a bad week last week? I'm having a bad week THIS week. What'd you send it thisaway for? LOL, just kidding. I'm doing better... I have my few minutes (or hours :) ) of sulking, then I say to myself, "Okay, it isn't THAT bad" and turn my chin up again. Sigh. Life. What drama. I'm glad your bad week is over. I hope mine ends early. ;) Good to hear from you again! (Forgot to say that in my last note.) Love, Steph

Agh, we just missed each other again. :) I got the e-mail telling me I had a note from you and signed right on to MSN and AIM but you weren't there. :P Ah well, that's all right. I'm sure we'll catch each other sometime. :) "Sensitive to a fault"--I like that. I need to tell one of my friends something like that... She is actually the one I was talking about who thinks she's bigger than God, though it's something I've been learning, as I said, all summer. I'm glad you enjoyed my little devotional. I always like getting positive responses from people after those; other people are why I put those entries up there. It's... LOL, it's a way I feel I can help people! My. I just can't get away from it, can I, even when writing an entry about being too helpful? :D Anyway... Love you! Stephanie

Gee, thanks for the note. It was really encouraging. I think I've changed a lot, since a few months ago, yes. Mostly back to my (normal) self. It feels good.

Hey! Its been a while! I pray that God works in your life and His will be done in any situation. Thank you so much for your note, you dont understand how much it meant to me. Through out this difficult time, I have been trying to not show the anger I want to. I realized that Im not angry at my grandpa, but more at the pain in which he caused. In a way, Im not surprised that this happened, im more surprised on how much it hurt. But again, thank you for your works of encouragement and love. May God bless you always! -Hope-

well, well, well, look who decided to update! ;P I've missed you and I wish I could hear from you more! You always make my day when you update! But let me get one thing straightened out... You said, "a few days from now, I will have lived on this planet for 20 whole years and not made one speck of difference by being here." *hem hem* WRONG! You have made such in impact on my life. Everytime you update or leave a note for me, there is encouragement and joy! It seems when things were going rough and/or I fell in a rut during my walk down the Narrow Path, your words seemed to pull me out! Never think that you havent made a difference... Rejoice, the Lord has worked through you in many ways... you may not see them, but the works are there and they have been put in motion. Please, remember this! You are God's soldier. Believe me, you have effected the souls around you! May He bless you and continue to do great works through you! -Hope-

Write more often! Family life is great. I finally feel at peace, because my mum, brother, and I rarely think about it unless we're forced to. And I definitely know what you mean by turning twenty! I've had this one big, stuffed dog since I was born, and my mum was talking about getting rid of that "twenty year-old dust bag" (it is really disgusting), and I got upset. It's only 18 years old! I'm not twenty yet! I can't be twenty! Gah! Happy almost birthday!

You updated! Im so excitted! It seems that I missing something right here... in my heart *sigh*.... Ok... anyway, Im so happy that you and your family got together. I know how it is when your family is very distant... even if you are, at times, only 45 minutes away. Its kind of hard. Not even a year ago, my family was all in the same house... but now, my sisters are gone... It mainly my mom and I... But in a way, I too, cant wait to get out. Probably because its so hard being the only Christian. Have you ever sat in church alone? Did you ever enjoyed it? Last sunday I did and wow, I was so excitted because I wasnt distracted. Yeah, I got a couple of looks, but I was just so happy being there. I dont know, Im weird at times. Just wanted to give you an insight of my little weird mind. But Ill let you go and read your other 10,000,000 notes! God bless and talk to me some time! I miss you and your notes! lol! God bless hun! -Hope-

Oh, yeah, about the Dj thing. Hm... She never resolved that argument with me... LOL. Anyway, the day I first wrote something about that I was pretty down in the dumps. I don't remember why. Oh... I think it might've been a combination of all these girls (Nicole, Eowyn, Marisa) whose needs hurt my heart and my own stress at the time. (What it was, I don't know.) And then I read about your eating disorder, and it just hurt even worse and I just felt pretty down. Although it still hurts (bad) now that I know you have/had an eating disorder, it's not to the point of depressing me like that day I talked about Deej. Rejoice for that. :) Love ya! Steph

Angela!! You know, I never realize just how much I miss you until I hear from you again. I've missed you!!! I wish you could update more often. :( So I've been on your mind for some reason, eh? Might be because of the French presentation. Mr. Fraley pushed the presentation day back, but the computers crashed on me over the weekend so I've been really stressed about getting it finished (which I won't). And stressed anyway because I strongly dislike presentations!! Not my thing, that's for sure. :P Anyway... That's what I've been most stressed about lately. I don't want to make this note too long, so talk to you later!! :D Love, Stephanie P.S. Do you know your boyfriend hasn't updated in nearly 2 months?

LOL... It is very ironic that I read your note right after 3 VERY STRESSFUL hours of cramming for French. I went into my room and was actually throwing around a couple things in my frustration. Not, like, clear across the room--but just throwing my backpack down on the floor or something. I was mad. Poor Rebekah. Poor anyone who comes across me when I'm stressed! Anyway... The rant I didn't post is different. It wasn't a mad rant, it was a "What the heck am I thinking?" rant at myself. I'm glad I deleted it; it wasn't worth keeping around, really. :P Anyway! Enough rambling. YAY! You left me a note!! :D Love, Steph

"Homesick"
You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again
And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Sweetie, these guys say it far better than I ever could. I know your grandma is looking down and smiling at you. She is so proud of the woman you have become. I know God is. I love you.

You finally updated! Im so excited! Its been so long! I've missed you! I see that things are not all that great! I wish I could give you some advice... All I can say is run after God with endurance and constantly talk to Him. He knows whats going on in your life, but it's always nice to hear it from you! I wish I could say something better, but how would I know... I dont have the right to say anything about eating disorders but I will pray for you and have hope and belief that this will be something that you will get through.
Now... about your note... Gosh darn, I am afraid of almost everything. However, I know that I will do anything in Christ who strenghtens me. He has done so much in my life that I would be a fool to not follow Him. I have nothing to put my faith in... I lived in a world without Him for so long. I had nothing to hold on to... When I finally met Him, i understood that I had something good. I cant let go of it.
Well, I hope to hear from you soon! God bless! -hope-

I know how hard it has been for you the past couple of months, but you have proven once again that you are a truely godly woman. Through the eating disorder to "his" brief reapearance, you have continually kept your comnposure and your faith in the face of difficult times. I love you so much. I promise you that I will always be the man in our relationship that will try to lead in the way thar God would have me lead. I love you with all my heart.

No, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't say people who have lived formerly wild lives get more of God's love. I wasn't saying people should CONTINUE to live wildly. I said that they FEEL it more--they see how far from God's ideal that they were, they realize that God STILL loves them a huge lot, and they feel the awesomeness of it more! Wouldn't you think? And then I asked, "Should we, then, let our kids be more wild when they are young?" Etc., etc. I have edited my entry more. Maybe it will be clearer now. As clear as that many questions can be. :) Love ya, Steph

..I can totally relate to the whole relatives coming to church due to baptism thing. I finally got baptised November 21, after 5 years of putting it off(I've been a Christian "my whole life") and my Grandparents came, which was so encouraging, despite the drama that ensued. Anyway, I'm really happy about Ally - that is SO awesome. I'm still praying for all of my relatives.. but it is really encouraging to see your sis and how she is turning towards God, because that gives me hope to keep praying for my relatives, no matter how hopeless it seems sometimes.

Hey there! Sorry it took me a little long to write back. Me and the internet have not really mingled together lately! Im going to be kicked off in 0.2 seconds too! So, hows life treating you? I hope everything is better! You are in my prayers and I hope that you remain strong and courageous! Things with my sister and i, well, it's sometime I expected in a weird way. I knew it was coming the day I left my first day of youth group almost 2 and 1/2 years ago. Things change, as sad as it seems, but im always praying and loving on her. I know that God will answer my prayers in days, months, years... I trust in Him. God has given my strength. Sometimes it hurts but I know at those times, God is there holding me... He so awesome. Well, I better go! God bless! I hope everything is working out for you! -Hope-

It's so cool that you agree with me on, like, everything! I mean, I really like debating with buddies, but I like it when people agree with me even more-- especially people as cool as you! I try not to let politics lead me into trouble, but there aren't a whole lot of Republican teenagers, but there are lots of people willing to hate them. It wasn't until the elections that I started forming most of my opinions, because I didn't know too much about Government. Now I know a lot! And it gets me into lots of trouble!

So, yay! Andrew is getting baptized! I was baptized almost 2 years ago! man... was it that long ago? its seems like yesterday I gave myself to the Lord.
Im really sorry about how your family left their faith. My middle sister an I used to be the best of friends... until I became Christian and she, Mormon. (<- sp?)... ouch... such sorrow. We dont talk like we used to or laugh together like we used to, or just hang out together because "together" was so much fun.

And then I love having to fit it all on one little note page, it's too hard to do! Geez, I'm sappy lately! One thing I did want to say was that my good news is that we're packing up our house to move out. I can't write it in my diary, because I know my dad reads it, but I don't think he's smart enough to find the notes page in a friend's locked diary, and he's too impatient to scroll down a profile page and find it. I could be wrong, too, but he'll find out sooner or later. I am hungry!

I have to admit: I havn't been kept updated with your diary and I'm extremely sorry. I had been reading it but then I got caught up in my own stress again. I just read your entry about crying and it made me cry. I was talking, just tonight, with a friend at church about divorce. The entire time I was reading your entry I was praying that the conclusion to your entry wouldn't result in that. Thankfully it looks like Gods been working in your household. I pray that things keep working and God keeps his loving hand over your life! With all of my love, -Jen

Sometimes we don't cry because things upset us. I think we cry more when we see God working in our lives. God was what got your parents to talk again. He is good like that. I love you.

That entry about your parents was very beautiful and touching. I really felt what you were saying in it. It's very rarely I get to see my parents getting along. I don't even live with them, and yet they still always fight. I hate it when they do it, but what can we do other than pray?

But of course you're right about the application money, I've guessed at it all along, but I was hoping that the fact that I'd have the five thousand would mean that God was providing for me a way to go! There's no other time in my life I could have afforded it, and now I can. It seems like one big, gaping door from God. I just need an immediate six hundred to get there... but I honestly do have quite awhile, even if it meant giving up archaelogy class (noooo!!!). And if I don't go, eh, I don't go. I have my whole life to get there, I don't need to right away (as nice as it'd be!). I'm sorry to hear about your millions of car problems! That's why I never drive! I just stay at home. Reading. Just stay away from cars a little, why don'tcha? Who knows what'll happen next? It'll be like that one scene from Ferris Bueller, with the two parking-garage men in the car over the bridge in slow-mo!

Aww thanks! I'm WISE?? Go me! :) But the thing is....it all started out with my cousin who had a boyfriend for a LOOONG time. She used to talk to him on the phone for hours and they seemed so perfect. And suddenly they broke up and they don't even talk to eachother anymore. They were together for about 3-4 years. How could you possibly "LOVE" someone and not still manage to be friends with them? Especially when they've been together for a decent amount of time. And then there's my brother going after one girl after another....it's just so sad to see a bunch of desperate people willing to be pathetic just so they can call someone their "boyfriend" or "girlfriend". It upsets me so much. I have a little sister and she believes the same way I believe because she rocks and I taught her everything I KNOW. ;) hahaha! Anyway..God bless!!!!!

Jehovah Jireh. That is all that I can say in this whole incident. I praised God for a good hour before I feel asleep last night.

That is crazy about all the mud happenings. We usually have one car parked in our yard, due to the fact that there is not enough room on the streets and no worries about parking someone in in the driveway. However, we're in suburbia Maryland so it's a little weird that we do it, and luckily nobody has ever gotten stuck. P.S. - NOBODY really knows what's goin' on in my head, ever. Not even me! Sorry to disappoint!

He's a man of good taste, if he likes Ratchet and Clank... and Frodo... and God on top of all! You can still go to college, you know! My mum's in her 40s, and she's starting all over again! You're definitely smart enough, but for the money, loans can be paid off over spans of years and years, financial aid is gracious, and scholarships come for things as simple as being left-handed! Plus, the higher your education, the more money you have to pay it off. I know you can, and you should! Not now, but someday you should. And could. And would, I hope! I just got lucky when it comes to education, is all. I'm no smarter than anyone else, I'm just in a good district with well-paid parents. I have to go clean! So much to do! So little time!

Church for me is still the same, unfortunately. I dont think it'll ever change but I should probably just be used to it now or GET used to it even though it's hard to do.

Angela, wednesday was a very good day.

I found your diary through i-c-dumppl :) Redneck stories are the best! My parents moved to the country from the city about 7 months ago and some of the things that happen there are book worthy! I could be a stand up comedian with some of the stories I have from there! I'm not all that funny either, I just sorta write about my day and what's on my mind. You might find my entry called "Funerals and God" thought provoking though :)

Is it bad if I laughed really really hard? *wink* Dont worry! I completely and totally understand. My dirveway- gravel. My road was nothing but dirt until they did something called "Sealing" it. Its like paved roads but its cheap. So, my road is nothing but potholes. When it rains, you're bound to hear a story of someone getting stuck... Luckily not to me but to my sister... lol! And the horrifying, terifying, and "native gobleness" haunts Padilla rd because a pack of (believe it or not) wild guineas. So, we keep our distance from these surprisingly dumb animals and shoot paintballs at them... lol... good times. *sigh* So, theres a little insight to my life! lol! Anyway, things with my mom are actually better, at times. It depends on our moods. No big! Thanks for asking! God bless! -Hope-

i-c-dumppl : |

Oh, but I understand your plight all too well! Luckily I live in the suburb, but around where I live, it's bad. There are some roads just twenty minutes from where I live that hadn't been actually paved (yes, dirt roads) until ten years ago. There are dirt driveways, and mud front-yards. I can't say we have many turkeys or guineas, but there are a lot of horses and cows. There are places 'round here without cable. There are places 'round here without running water. I'm sure that if you look hard enough past the many corn and soy fields, you'll even find an undiscovered Native American tribe. With my luck, they'd be cannibals. Maybe that's where all Virginia's turkeys have gone! We eat all the pigs, that's for sure. You've never eaten until you've eaten Virginia ham and Virginia peanuts. Anyway, it's all I can do to not have a Southern accent, and still I slip into the phrase "y'all" all too often.

Hey! Awesome entry. It is so true. For mid terms I studied my gov't junk for 2 hours one night and all of the next morning until I had everything down to the T, yet, with the Word, I dont take time to know It. I want to know God more but sometimes I just dont do the actions. To know God, you need to know what He says... I dont want you to ahve false ideas about my faith. I love the Lord but so many times- too many times- I stumble and fall into temptation. All I can do is get back up, brush off the dust, and keep running after Christ. Ooo!

I like pink! And green! It's like watermelon in the wintertime. I've been mean to about everyone nowadays. I've even criticised some of what pastors say at Church in the car on the way home. Like this one man said that God takes what you offer him and breaks it before returning it ten-fold, and then said God inflicts poverty on bad people so that they learn their lessons. Eesh! I don't know what God he was talking about, but my God certainly isn't malevolent. My God would never break His gift to me before its return, even if he had to break the five loaves and two fish before feeding the hungry masses. He broke that to feed it to masses, I'm one person. He'd never break my talent before it manifests, He'd never break my health before He heals me... He just doesn't do that! And Poverty is created by satan. End of that. But he's not the only person I've been demeaning (like I just did), it's been everyone who's wrong (again, see? I'm demeaning!) as though I've never been wrong, myself! Well. I've ranted here long enough! *hugs* You're always the one to listen.

But sometimes, the words she says makes me cry, even now when the arguement is far away and gone, but I keep going and I keep on loving her w/ everything I am. When I read your entry, I just wanted to be in Kentucky. I wanted to help you and hug you and be that friend that holds out her shoulder for you. Im sorry that you felt that pain. If you need to let your thoughts out, saddness, anger, and pain, Im here. Email me if you want. Ill always listen. Praise the Lord for the friends you have with you *hem Andrew hem*.

Nah, you should never regret what you write in your diary. The fact is that this has been a recurring problem, and God never wants His children in compromising situations like that. If you honestly feel like you need to get out, if you can feel what one of the pastors at my church called "a hammer" smashing down (out of the whole congregation, I found out a couple of days later, another pastor told my mum that the entire sermon was written for her because they all know us there... out of the near thousands of attendees, it was all meant for three people! See hoe God can single us all out with His plans?), God means for you to leave. Donald Trump (not that he's the authority) said that if someone hurts you once, he'll hurt you again. And if you honestly feel that way, there's no reason to apologise! That's not depressing at all, in my opinion. And, how awesome is A Series of Unfortunate Events? Jim Carrey was meant to be Count Olaf. Lemony Snickett planned it all...

Aww. I agree, you need to get out. At least temporarily. Does your sister have a job? Maybe you two can both rent something until a better opportunity comes along. If you stay in that situation, the control will only get stronger, because it seems to me that a sit-down chat won't do anything beneficial. It bothers me that your own mother can be so mean to you, as nice and sweet and pretty as you are! You've helped me how often with my problems, you don't deserve that! Maybe you could speak with a Women Crisis Center nearby. I know that sounds durastic, because you might not think this a crisis, but that's where my mum found some advice for attorney payments and private eye information, I'm sure the counselours could tell you about someplace to go. Or a pastor might be able to help you, too. Maybe a friend can take you in for awhile. I'd offer, but I'm a little far away. It feels terrible that all I can do is pray...

I'm home again, and just getting caught up with the entries I missed, and I don't think you should stop writing because of what anyone says or how anyone makes you feel about what you write. Don't get me wrong, I love Stephanie, and it's not like I'm saying this against her at all. But I went through the same thing with Jeshua thinking my diary was stupid and even my pastor said that maybe it wasn't a good idea [although after he started reading it I think he changed his mind] and my parents didn't like the thought of me writing so that anyone and their dog could read it. I just don't care what they think about my diary. I write what I want because it's mine. It's for me, and for God, and I think it helps me not only sort through my thoughts but also remember things that are special and important to me. I for one LOVE hearing about Andrew, I think it's so awesome that you've found someone so great, you definitely deserve this relationship. Sorry this note is so long! I love you and missed you while I was gone!

How did your Christmas go? Did your family behave or just make it miserable? I hope it went well... If not, I'm sorry. :( You're in my thoughts. Thanks so much for your note. Even if you don't feel like you said anything that helps, just hearing from you helps. You're the best! Love, Stephanie

Ouch. You would've locked your diary and left me out in the cold? That would've hurt worse than reading the entries... Although now that I'm thinking of it I guess you would've been doing it out of caring about me. I probably would have tried to see that, had you actually locked your diary or started a new one and not told me about it. (I might have discovered it eventually anyway.) It still would've hurt though. Anyways... Goodness, what a mess emotions make of life. :(

I think that if you want to write about your boyfriend, you should be able to. I think that he's a blessing to you, from God, because two children make more power than one, and he's an obvious positive power. I think that, and I don't mean to insult any of your other readers, that people should be happy for you, instead of negative and almost jealous about it. And God does need people to spread his word (otherwise Jesus will never return, and we'll be stuck in this mess forever!), verbally and through action, that's why there are pastors and Jesuits to travel to foreign countries. And a little diary that some dozen people might stumble across can't hurt, either. Instead of being angry that you have something so nice, I think that everyone should see that you're receiving gifts from God, and should emulate your faith instead of turning from it and making you begin to doubt your mission. I hope your Christmas brightens up more this year than it's been so far. Sometimes holidays turn for the worse, don't they? It's always a reassurance, though, to remember what it's all really about. I know what I'm going to do! Sing carols in foreign languages and drink eggnog! Even though I hate eggnog! Merry *almost* Christmas (five hours and 40 minutes left! Huzzah!) (make that five hours and 39 minutes... Huzzah!)!

Thank goodness! And yes, you WERE being rash. :) But do you know what? I would have said exactly the same things!! LOL. We are an interesting pair. By the way-- to link, you can either type %%diary-sunnyrain828%% (just like that), or you can type <a href="http://sunnyrain828.diaryland.com">sunnyrain828</a>.

It was a rather delicious movie, I must say. And, frankly, your boyfriend sounds perfect! You'd have to be right, your parents had to like him, because I've only read about him and I'm glad he's with you! I can't imagine how happy your parents are, even if they don't show it. Maybe they'll see how happy the two of you are with the Lord, and they'll try the same. How are things going with me? Same as usual. But not for long. At the end of January my mum'll sell our house, and we'll get a new but smaller one with the seperation money my dad agreed to give us. And then we'll take him to court. I'm pretty sure he knows all about it by now, so I think I can type it. But by selling our house we're getting rid of the bad memories, and all of the credit-card debt on the credit cards he had gotten but hidden from us all along. Isn't that lovely? Eek, I shouldn't have said all that on Christmas Eve! But it's good news, after all! I'm going to paint my new room like Starry Night from Van Gogh, exciting... Merry Christmas! And a Happy New Year! '05!

I just read in somebody elses diary(you know whose!) that you are going to stop writing. I decided that is not allowed, and that you can either a) make another diary and write in that and not tell them about it, or b) keep writing and put a warning at the top so they don't read. the end.

Thanks so much for that lovely bit of advice. I'll tell yah, it came to me just in time, too. How is it that you always know what to say and when to say it? I'll be able to tell you all about it in a couple of days... and then more in less than a month! But until then, it's on the d.l. (down-low). I'll say a prayer for those two guys, that was a terrible thing to do, but not nearly as terrible as what will happen if it continues. Which is why they need prayer. And you're doing everything just perfectly, so don't worry about your faith! And I'll also pray for your grandfather, that's such a sad thing to happen. You're so strong to keep your faith up so well! *hugs*

hey! sorry I didn't tell you, I guess I'm just crazily stupid and forgot that I was going to be away. We left on December 10th and flew to New Orleans, got on a cruise on the 12th, and here I am, a week later, heading back to Louisiana after a week in Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Cozumel. I'll be heading home again on the 23rd, so I'll be able to write an entry then, but for now I guess this is all you get! I thought I should probably tell you what was going on so that you didn't think I'd done something ... or whatever. Don't worry! I'm fine! And actually a bit tanned! Love you and miss you like crazy! -Courtney

Hey. I must say, we all need a burden on our hearts. If we dont then we are just in that "comfort zone" and its dangerous there. I have the same problem with sharing my faith. I become scared and hope that no one will ask me those "hard" questions, but with the Spirit working inside of you, no question is too hard. The Word is the answer to all questions and it was the Holy Spirit that dwells inside of you that wrote the Word. Lets make a deal, we cannot be afriad to share our faith. You go out and be bold for the Lord and I will do the same. May He bless and keep you! -Hope- p.s. those boys are in my prayers.

We are a lot alike. (Duh; as if we hadn't discovered that already. :D ) I used to be super, super scared about defending my faith when people ask tough questions about Christianity. There's so many different opinions out there! I've been learning that, in the end, what counts when you're witnessing is that you get to the CORE of Christianity: God loves us so much that He let Jesus be killed as the ultimate sacrifice for us, so we don't have to live apart from Him. Hope that makes sense... I was just sort of rambling. :) Love ya! Steph

Hey sugar, dont you even think that you are forcing me to write! Actually, Im thankful that you ENCOURAGED me to write. Sometimes it just hurts to hold in so many things and Im able to express them on this diary to you! You know what, you shouldnt feel bad about writing in a bad/sad mood. Sometimes its easier to let out your saddness instead of bottling it up. Also, i could really relate to you about a lot in your entry. Im on the same page with men like that. I hate even thinking about it... also, with your family... I can really relate. My mom's catholic (with the rest of my family on my mom's side), my sister is Mormon and my other is... who knows. My dad's always gone so I dont know. Its hard. They dont understand why i do the things I do or why Im so in love with God who I dont even see. Im just trying to say that I relate with you so if you need someone to talk to about ANYTHING, good or bad, go ahead. Leave me an email or note. I'll answer you in a jiff! May God bless and keep you! -Hope-

Asthsma?! Ouch! I have/had asthma (dont know if it goes away). I used to affect me when I was little. It wasn't bad. Sometimes I find myself unable to breathe that well but I blaim it on not being in shape. Anyway, I'm gonna pray for your recovery and safty. God will help you with everything! The 10 commandments idea was from my youth Pastor... should of stated that... it really touched me so I had to tell everyone else... May God bless and keep you!

But I can't tell you in email, either! My dad has spyware installed (I sound crazy, but I just know) on the computer to read anything I write from anywhere. If he doesn't, I still can't take that risk. The only way to completely tell anyone anything is through snail-mail, and not around the holidays, because daddy-dearest is coming to visit sooner or later. You're the first person I'd tell, I swear, because you're the one who'd understand the most, I promise. But, 'till then, I'm stuck with artsy stuff and prayer as my full form of release. And physical, tangible diaries with locks and keys to them. And I have none of the last mentioned thing. And, oh, by the way, awesome entry. All you need is love, and it's strange to think that love can come in so many strange forms. I just love reading your diary... everything you say is so true!

I've always been told that the word FRUIT is used, because you must possess ALL of those characteristics to truly have the 'fruit of the Spirit.' If it were FRUITS, then it would be like you had a choice.. However, God wants us to strive for all of those attributes.

No, it is not too personal to ask about my leaving that ministry. I was at a point in my Christian walk where God had been silent for so long. I started looking elsewhere for affection. My personal life was lacking. My spiritual life was lacking. Even my worship time was not what it once was. So on. I lost my focus. To make a long story short, I fell into a depression. Still there by the way. Felt I could not give those kids 100%. I was not walking the walk and talking the talk. I could barely keep my life in order, there was no way I could lead His next generation. I never did anything wrong. I taught them with all God gave me, right up to my last Sunday. I left that church, and I am still looking for a church where God might be calling me. Right now I attend a church, but have not felt that tug to join. There goes that orphan feeling again. Sister Judy from my former church (when I see her that is) says the kids ask about me all the time. Says they want Miss Shonda back. They want me to tach them again. They liked my lessons and my crafts. And I cried when she said that. I was very passionate with my ministry, but until I can get myself together; I can't lead others. And so I wait. Wait for Him to call upon me again. So, yea, there it is. My messed up life. Are you depressed now? I am. And now you know. Aren't ya glad you asked?

It has an anime picture of Trigun on it and... i dont know if you know video games... but from Final Fantasy VII, Cloud Strife with the Kingdom Hearts (another game) red cape and wing, holding his wicked sword from Kingdom Hearts (um, he's in 2 games).

Thanks so much for the note. I only write the way I write, because it seems that is one gift God has given me. Without Him, it just would not make any sense. And extra thanks for the Scripture. I didn't have to look it up, because I have it highlighted (along with the 8 verses behind it) in my Bible and beside it I have written ~ prayer for my husband. I can't tell you how many times I have read Phil 1:3, my Bible says I thank my God upon every rememberance of you. I am humbled that you think (thank) of me. :) Quite frankly it scares me sometimes (not you in particular, but just in general), because I am so scared of stumbling and bringing someone down with me. When I taught children's church, it was like talking & walking on pins and needles. Every word, every action that Miss Shonda made was caught up by every ear and every eye of those babes. Makes you become very watchful of your comings & goings. I miss so much teaching them. But more than that, I miss them. Well, this note started in one direction and ended somewhere else. How does that happen? :)~

You're officially one of my favourite people ever. How on earth did you know my night was bad? After Scrubs ended, it all went downhill. I went to bed earlier than usual and had a nasty nighmare about my dad and woke up in absolute dispair at 5 am, and then couldn't go back to sleep. I couldn't even focus until my mum reminded me that if he ever did anything to us, he'd have to go through God (and apparently you!) first! But, of course! I was being silly, but I've been walking on pins and needles all month thus far. Luckily I've got you to cheer me up! *hugs*

I have a quote from St. Augustine posted on my computer. I read it everyday. It says: Understanding is the reward of faith. Therefore seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand. Read it again. So simple this gift called faith. We make it hard. Your last entry was just what I needed. And I think that St. Augustine sums it up quite well. Me thinks I feel an entry comin' (bet it will be on my faith & understanding & believing) You are so awesome! Love Ya. Shonda <><

Nah! I lurve talking to you! I only wish I had oodles of time to do more of it! Geez, faith shouldn't be this confusing, should it? Sometimes it's hard for me to be blind to all the thought that surrounds it, and it's not that I want to be a dumb follower, but sometimes I feel like if I examine my faith too closely, I'll fall into satan's trap, because I'm just not smart enough to fully define why religion is necessary. I just know it is all, and that's all faith has to be. But that's different from deadly tradition, because I understand why I have to do the things I do (like daily prayer, etc.) without losing the meaning behind it. Or, at least I think it is... wait... huh? Anyway, I'm also not brilliant with politics, just very vocal about what I think... I think. Wait... huh? Well, none of this will get my chemistry homework done, will it? If I keep on the good track that I'm on now, I'll make an A this sememster instead of a B... *mwahaha* I love being the only one who understands something. It makes me feel superior.

Ooh, I like this entry! (Faith) I love reading deeply spiritual entries. I love writing them, too. :D To answer at least one of your questions, yes, we can pray for faith. Even more interesting, we can have faith while praying to have faith. Consider the man in Mark 9:24. He said, "I do believe! Help me overcome my unbelief." He had faith yet didn't have much. But it was enough. His son was healed. :)

Ahh, that's terrible. That poor guy is a lot like me, my great-grandmother is ill like that, my parents are hitting turbulent times (understatement of the century)... if you need an example of the effective use of prayer, I'm all about you dropping my name! Not that I'm saying I'm the poster-child of righteousness or anything, but if you need someone's story to draw from the blue, you can base everything on what I'm going through (and make it sound worse than it is, if you want!) and maybe that'll show him that God oftentimes gives more than what you give Him, because He understands the situation even better than you do! It doesn't take a bottle of holy water and the book of Psalms to do that, just a prayer every night (for starters!). Sorry I never replied to your note! Nah, nothing's wrong... it's actually going to be a lot better! So there's no one to meet in a dark alley! And I'm soooo happy that you finally met his family! I bet they adored you!

Well, I wasn't really mad at HIM. I think I should have been... I think that's the more normal response.

I'm just really possessive and don't think any girl should have the guy that I like! Does that kind of make more sense? So... I was angry, yeah, but not at him; hence the joy of the phone covnersation. Wow. I'm really confusing, aren't I? LOL.

I know ~ those jokes were so horrible they were funny. If that is possible. Yes, I have been getting your notes. Thanks for everything. You have no idea how much your words have helped me. You are a very good encourager (is that a word?). If not, looks like I just made it in to one. haha. Just taking the time to send me a note makes all the difference. I am feeling better. I get to watch the kiddos (as I like to call them) tonight for my brother and sister-in-law. The kiddos meaning my niece (Dora Jean or Miss Lady) and my nephew Taylor or Boog-A-Loog, but I call him Boog for short). So I am really looking forward to that time. They always raise my spirits. There is no way you can be depressed around them. They are 8 (Boog) and 5 (Miss Lady). I am trying to find some online Christmas puzzles and games to print and kinda make a little book for each of them. So far, I have only found 3 that they would like. Guess I should get. You know, if you would like, you can email me ~ taydor2@yahoo.com I tend to ramble on here and your notes page is going to be a mile long. I don't mind leaving notes though. Thanks for the prayers.

I live in Maryland, and UMD is, obviously, a school, and it's less than 10 miles from me and really good, like you need a super high GPA and SAT score and whatnot to get in.

Wow, that was weird. I didn't mean to post the message twice... Anyway. Know what else is weird? I don't get e-mails from Diaryland telling me you've left a note anymore! Bizarre. But anyway... Oh, yeah, the colored font! You do that by putting in your entry <font color=#______> with the color's number in it. To get some color numbers, do an internet search for "hex codes." The top two or three sites they give you ought to get you LOTS of choices. :)

Yep, I was born in Hawaii. Honolulu, actually. My mom lived in Hawaii for about 5 years, met my dad, got married, and had Sam and I. We left when I was just 20 months old, and Sam was 7 months old, though, which is why we went back to visit.

Hey Angela,
Just got your latest note. I liked that Scripture. My Bible says: God sets the solitary in families. It gave me some hope, along with a bit of peace. But, it seems that for now; God has not placed this solitary daughter anywhere. I don't know how much of my diary you may have read, but I have mentioned that I am an extremely shy introverted person. I really have no friends and have a hard time meeting new people due to this part of my life. I am "in-between" (don't ya just love that) churches. I just left my church, where I had attended for a couple of years (I was even the Children's Church Director @ the time) because I was alone. I was in a small country church doing God's work, and I was lonely. There was no one at that church that was single, or even my age. So I felt as if I had no one that could relate to me. I basically isolated myself with the kiddos every Sunday. And before I knew it ~ I was starving for interaction of the adult kind. But again ~ I freeze up. And I am not married, not dating, can't even find anyone. So we won't even go there. I have prayed for years for God to move in my life. And for the past few months, silence. He has chosen to step back and see what I will do. So I even feel lonely there. I would give anything to hear His sweet voice in my heart again. I know He is around me. Holding me. But the fight-that spiritual fight-is so hard And I try so honestly to reflect His love in my life, in my actions, in my words, even in my diary. I guess I just don't know what He wants. I wish He would place me somewhere. I feel like such an orphan. Guess I should stop now. Sorry this is so long. Suppose I was "lonely" again. And just wanted to get some things off of my heart. Thanks so much for your prayers. I promise that under all this mess of me, there is a God-fearing-on-fire-ready-to-work Christian, just waiting. Shonda <><

I am, believe me. Looking up that is. If I weren't, I would be alot worse off. You don't know how much those two little words meant to me. Thank you for taking the time to remind me. It is the little things that we do as children of Christ that really makes others feel better. Lifting each other up, right? You lifted me up abit. Closer to Christ. Can I say thanks again? Thanks!
In His Constant Grip, Shonda <><

I was going to say, "I'm so jealous of this girl!" But when I saw that it was you, it made me instantly happy! (Funny how that works sometimes, innit?) I was going to reply to your first note right away (sorry if I put you off or anything), but I was distracted! By those Little Debbies Chocolate Jellyrolls... which usually equate to a stomach jellyroll, but luckily I have a high metabolism and don't like to eat lunch. Well, I also had to talk to daddy dearest on the phone. Fun. It really does hurt me, but all of that is overshadowed by how much God loves me still, so for every bit that my dad doesn't love me I have a greater Dad who loves me twice as much as that hate! That makes me feel wonderfully better, but warm and fuzzy notes from a Miss Angela don't hurt, either! My mum will divorce my dad. But I'm not allowed to type openly about any plans, and it's nothing immediate. He's definitely not allowed back into the house, not even for Christmas. The next time I'll ever see him will be in court, whether it be two months from now or two years from now, which is always a comforting thought. It would have happened already but for the fact that since my mum has an unfinished education thusfar, my dad may get partial custody of my brother. It's improbable, but there's a chance, and it's not a chance we can take since my brother would die if left in my dad's care for long periods of time, considering the fact that he seems to forget that my brother has diabetes sometimes. If ever I need a talk, you will be the first I stalk! You already are the first I tell, anyway, so rest assured! And, I should be congratulating you! You deserve someone so nice as this Andrew, and he better realize that he's a lucky guy! And you'd better keep me informed on what happens! And he sounds perfect, and I'm so ecstatic that you found someone so wonderful who loves God and you (a rarity among men...)!

I know; Mark is a really great youth pastor. I don't think I would be a Christian today if it weren't for him. [Well, I'm sure Jesus didn't hurt things either ... hehe] He's really been there for me through everything I've dealt with these past two years or so, and he's doing a really great job as a pastor, mentor, and best of all: friend. Don't worry, I know you care about me. I don't know how I know that for sure, I just get this overwhelming sense of love whenever I get a note from you or read your diary, it's like you're an angel watching over me, always there for me when I need you. I mean, you getting worried about me [and Jenn] when we hadn't written for just a few days? That takes love. Thank you so much. And just so you know, that love is returned completely. I love you! -Courtney

See, you've taught me two things in one sitting! You've taught me all about pus-pockets in the back of the throat (which makes sense, now) and why not to shop during the holidays in any other way but the telephone and QVC. It's far less painful. Well, I've a lot to type about in my diary. My weekend was *very* eventful. But your entry cheered me up! Thanks oodles!

no no no, that's totally alright. I want it to mean that way, because it showed me how selfish I'm being, pushing everything on everyone, seeing who really cares about me.

I know you really do, because why else would you write me so many notes and stuff from so far away? You have no reason to care for me. None at all. But you do. And to me, that is so awesome. Thank you! I love you so so much!

Awww, thanks! I bet you say that to every diarylander. Haha! I stay positive because I prefer to give my problems to God, and that lets me have a fun time, no matter what. I could even enjoy a Colin Farrel interview while my mom finally caved and went off on my dad-- even after I became so scared that he was going to hurt us in our sleep that I hid all the scissors in the house, thought about ways to successfully hide the knife drawer, and grabbed the closest thing to pepper spray I could find (foot deodorant, silly I know). He wasn't acting angry, but it's always calm before the storm. He didn't do anything, he didn't even leave. *sigh* And I was so hoping to see the red car gone this morning. But maybe God had this planned! I trust that God takes care of everything, and now I feel kind of ashamed for my behaviour, but not too much. And I don't know what is up with Farrel's accent in Alexander, but it is bad. Maybe it was the blond hair... Anyway, this kind of stuff I can't type in my diary until he's gone, so I hope you don't mind me going off like this in a note! And thanks to no turkey, I don't have to suffer dry turkey sandwiches for two months. And did you know Jesus was born around April? That really dampens my Christmas spirit. I guess I'll just have to go shopping to make up for it! And that's the good thing about my dad still being here, that means he wants to stay a little longer, and I'll use up a couple hundred of his dollars to buy my mum and brother something nice. And him something defective for two bucks from TJMax, bwahaha! Happy day-late Thanksgiving! And, of course, I love your diary too!

I always thought that Jesus would return just before the Tribulation and take those of first faith to uppermost heaven, and after the tribulation, any new and still living believers to the New Jerusalem, which will be another heaven formed just above the Earth. And I don't remember what the third heaven was... but that's not the point! And then He takes the most faithful for his final battle against Satan, like the one He fought after His death, but with two armies. Which makes me infinitely happy... I can almost see it like the old Angelo frescos, millions flanking Jesus in Greek garb, with flaming swords brandished and determination on every face... it makes me want to paint something... I'm glad you worked it all out, because God would never leave the faithful to go through pain like that. And certainly not you! Thanks for your nice note, it made me very happy!

Oh, I'm terrified about Revelations. Everytime I read it, I start to shake. I don't want to stand on Judgement Day in front of the Lord and have every word I've ever said reread to me, because I've hurt so many people. And what if I'm not taken? But, I do see that God's helped me a lot in life, and I couldn't be left behind if he loves me so much to still help me. But you don't have a thing to worry about! Maybe that's what your dreams are about, that you believe in your waking life that others are in higher standing with God than you, and by you not crucifying yourself and others almost pitying you by reassuring you that you are saved (but you still know deep down that you are, anyway), you're acknowledging subconciously that you've nothing to be scared of. If everyone else has to go to those great lengths to be saved, and all you have to do is worshiped, means that you're better off than you think! Or, I could have no idea what I'm talking about.

no, that's definitely not how I feel. I'm talking more about the people that tell me every day that I HAVE to go to school, and that I HAVE to eat, and that I HAVE to stop cutting myself. I know all this, I'm just having a hard time right now, and I wish people would realize that. It's not you though, just the people around me every day who tell me the same things every single day. It kind of gets on my nerves. Yeah, I absolutely adore Joey. He's really great. Although he's no subsititute for you! I love you too, so much.

Hi Angela! Thanks again for your note. Yeah two years of college does sound a bit daunting to me at first, but once you get into it, the years go by faster than you anticipated. You will go to college and when you do, you too will succeed cause God will bless you and help you through your studies. I am gonna use my mind for Him. I don't know what that means exactly cause I'm not actually that great of a guy, but will try to be the best that I can be for Him. I love that entry called "Whispers". It's so thought-provoking and like you said, we it's a good reminder that we shouldn't take for granted little and simple things. Good thing do come in small packages.

You live in Kentucky? That's cool, I think I've been there once. I definitely had a history teacher who was from Kentucky, and she even hung the state flag on her wall! Yep, I live in Virginia. It's a pretty state, actually! I hear Sears is a nice place to work, they certainly seem nice to me! It might make your sister feel worse if you directly tell her that you accidentally fell upon her diary, so to not mention it is a good thing. I know that when I feel icky, I hate burdening people with my ickiness, so perhaps just showering her with love and slowly introducing your concern is better, so don't feel so badly about it!

I wouldn't feel so badly about your sister, it's really not your fault. Of course you should feel upset about her depression, but you shouldn't take it onto your shoulders. You love her enough to be worried about her now, don't you? You caught it in time, and just because you trusted that she was okay doesn't make you a bad sister. It's often times harder to see things in your own life than in others, too, but now that you know about it, you can still make her feel better. She probably really appreciates it, and probably more than you know! Just like I appreciate your notes so much! I'm not sure if that helped, but I tried. And I agree with whoever signed below, you're very pretty (why would you ever be worried about your weight? ...crazy...)!

I don't even shut the door to sing! I just do! Everywhere! And I'm not very good at it, either, which makes it even better. I sing at school, at home, in the car... but not in the shower. Hmm, wonder why that is? I have a skin condition that prevents me from wearing shorts without sunblock (I could get cancer, how great is that...), and I've never actually kissed anybody. But I'm semi-happy with my weight. I could be worse... I suppose... I don't remember what the other one is, but I felt like I had to say something. You sounded bored!

Hi Angela! Thanks so much for your notes and comments. I'm sorry I haven't replied them earlier. But I'm here now! Anyways, firstly I was flattered to read your comment about me on your profile on how I was the first male you have ever listed as a favourite. Now I feel kinda special! Thank you. Secondly, thank you for taking the time to read my diary and leaveme encouraging notes and comments relating to what I wrote. It's very encouraging to know that there are people out there who live so far away from me but still read and like my diary. It means a lot to me. Thanks again. I will read and try to answer those questions that you wrote about in your entry. And lastly but most certainly not the least, thanks for letting me know about Jennifer. It really saddened me and shocked me tremendously to know that she's in hospital. I feel that I could have done more to try and encourage others who are going through tough times right now, but know that all these things are in God hands right now. Once again, thanks for everything. You are really an awesome girl of God Angela and I can see God doing many great things through you. Keep on living for Him! God bless you. Jonathan

I wanted to ask, just out of curiosity of reactions... What did you think about Nate suddenly calling me after 2 weeks of silence?

Silly. :) All the HTML questions--like how to link to my diary--are answered in the FAQ and Help Section or whatever--left-hand side of the screen under "Other stuff." To save you the trip (though you might want to look there for other answers to HTML questions), to make a link in a diary entry, to, like, your favorite website, you'd type: <*a href="website address">name of website</*a>. Minus the asterisks. If you are just linking to someone else's Diaryland diary, you can just type %%*diary-username%%. (Aagin, minus asterisks.) Example: For me it would be %%*diary-sunnyrain828%%. It'll show up in your diary as a link called "sunnyrain828." There! You've just learned something new. :D Love ya!

I was going to say, "so that's enough reason to read her diary!" Because, you know, Johnny Depp rocks my socks clean off my feet! He could be hideous, and he'd still be my favourite actor (and I've a lot of favourite actors, so that's saying a lot). He's just extremely talented, with or without the hair. Anyway! I'd better stop with that, or else I'll go off on one of my usual movie tangents, because I just so love film. I'm doing well, thanks for asking! I feel lots perkier today, thanks in part to you, thanks in part to a four day weekend, and thanks in part to being able to take off my pantyhose after a long day of wearing it. *phew* I love to wear dresses, but the hose thing always brings me down. I've gotten to vent about my dad, and I'm feeling a lot better. Especially since now I don't have to deal with it (I can't type the word "divorce" until next week in my entries, since that's when the court order is served... he doesn't know it yet) anymore, and I don't have to face angry holidays or yelling and throwing stuff just because he can't find a book and... well, sorry the note is so long! Thanks for talkin' to me!

Well, GOSH, don't even ask! I'd feel priviledged whether you asked or not, but now I feel even more special! Thanks for the support, it really gave my entire day a lift when I saw your note this morning before I left for school! Anyway, how would I defend my faith? Well, for instance, my mum accidentally picked the most expensive divorce attorney in my area who just happened to have an hour free in the entire month just as we happened to call, and the VA Court System just happened to agree to have an early hearing all because God protected my mother, my brother, and I from my father, and God let us know that he was going to cause us harm again, but worse. I guess what I'm trying to say is I believe in God because there have been too many close encounters, I should have been killed in a car wreck or something by now. But moreover than that, when I stand in Church or even just read the words from the Bible (Psalms always gets me!), I can just feel that it's true! I'm sure you know the feeling, too, but sometimes that's just not definite enough for non-believers. Poor kids.

Oh it's not that my parents won't let me...it's just you're supposed to go to concerts with some good friends and they're HARD to find! I should ask Becca if I can go with her next time her church goes...that sounds like an idea! And no..I dont have the Healing Rain CD YET. I will get it as soon as I can! Thats his newest cd and it has done extremely well! :) And I went on christianmusicreviews.com...and guess who had the site that most people went to? Yup...MWS! I'm gonna write an entry about all the nice things that I've heard that he's done...he's so incredible!

Hey Angela. Sorry I haven't replied to any of your notes or updated at all for a few days now. My father disconnected the internet at my house for awhile, they found out about my diary and thought that it might not be good for me to be writing these things. I told them my point of view and my youth pastor, who was over talking to us at the time, told them that he thought it was a good thing for me to be able to get things out online and he knows there are a lot of people encouraging me online and stuff [that means you!]. So they're getting me to go see this guy, and then they'll put the internet back in once they see me talking to someone about all of this. So that's all that's going on; nothing has happened to me or anything. Before I go though, I thought I'd better mention that you should probably pray for Jennifer more than normal, because I found out yesterday that they admitted her to the hospital. I don't know the details, I'm going over to visit her after school today, and I'll hopefully be able to fill you in afterwards [if I can find a computer somewhere!]. I'm not going to put anything about Jennifer being hospitalized in my diary, just because I don't know if she really wants people to know or not. But I thought that it might be good if you knew, and maybe you could tell Jonathan [wjd4me] to pray for her too? Just because I'm in class right now and I don't really have much time to send lots of notes. Just to you! I'll add you to my MSN as soon as I get my internet stuff hooked up again, and then hopefully we'll get to talk sometime! I'd love to hear you sing! Thank you for all your support, encouragement, and worry. I love you! [Sorry this was so long!]

Oh. And to answer your question about why I'm doing it: I don't really know. Or else I wouldn't be. Someone told me today [a doctor actually] that since I'm not really feeling the pain when I'm cutting that I've obviously been feeling very hurt and angered. Duh. Like I didn't already know that. I want to get rid of them problem: But I don't exactly know how to solve it. Anyways. Thanks again! -Jennifer

I've been thinking of running away now. I don't want to go to Gail's house. It's still someting familiar to me. I want to just leave tonight. Go for a walk. Spend the night somewhere. Go to church tomorrow then maybe come back home. It's really cold out though. I don't want to go for a walk, but I'll probably end up doing it anyway. Then, enfortunately probably end up coming back home. Sorry for the gruesome pictures. I don't know why I posted them. Sorry. Thanks for the prayers though! -Jennifer

Hmm... Doesn't sound like he's too interested in you, no. {laugh} Can't help but smile at all the mishaps, though... I'm glad you said all that with a sense of humor.

He is the epitome of a jerk! Who would do something like that? But remember...I know I'm only 15 and stuff...but it's just that I have always believed that people should NEVER search for a guy. I know this date wasn't necessarily a "search" for "the one"....but keep that in mind. God will find a way to bring that certain guy in your life. YAY! :)

Hi Angela. Thank you for your note. Yeah maybe I should write it somewhere what my username means. Glad that you like it. I'm in an encouraging mood right now and I dunno how long it'll last but it feels great! I like helping and making people feel better when they're down. About your date, I know exactly how you feel. I've lost a relationship before too cos I feel that I didn't consult God about it, in fact most of my diary is about her (Lisa my ex), well not most but like most of the start of it is. Maybe God may be trying to tell you something through the series of unexpected events in your date. It's just what I think anyways, but I know from experience that sometimes God lets us know what His will is but yet we refuse to accept or miss it at times. And like you said, and then we wonder why it didn't work out. I'll be praying for you about this. You are a very special girl Angela and God has already has your future husband planned for you. He's just waiting for the right time to show you who he may be. May the Lord continue to bless and guide you through your life. He's with you every step of the way. God bless you. Jonathan

Hi Angela. Thank you for your encouraging commment. Yes of course it's ok to add me to your favourites. In fact I'm touched that there are people out there like yourself that actually do read my diary and liek it! I've just added yours to mine if that's ok with you. Wow your last two entries are so so awesome. You're right in saying how the enemy likes to attack us young people and pull us down with our daily walk with Him. I agree with what you said that we should hand it all over to God and let Him handle it. I believe that in adddition to that, we need to also put on the Armour of God everyday to resist the attacks from the enemy. Ooops, sorry I don't mean to preach to you! You do a way better job at that anyways. Also I really like your poem you wrote for someone. Its so touching. You should write more! I like writing poems too, but not that good at it. Still that won't stop me from trying! Anyways, thanks for your comment and adding me to your favourites. Keep on living for our Father in Heaven! God bless you. Jonathan

hey angela!! well i will definitely keep praying!! and i hope everything is ok..i know how you feel...it is the worst feeling in the world...bout a yr back one of my best friends at the time for some reason decided to end her life *kinda an impulsive decision* and another friend had asked me if i'd talked to her *cuz i had NOOO idea!!* and i was like uhh not really...why? and he procedded to tell me that she had said she was going to or something like that? and so it upset me that i had to hear this from another person so i procedded to call her NONSTOP for several days! and no one in her house would answer the phone her dad is also kinda my pastor but neway i finally did get in touch with her and she acted like it was wierd that i was concerned or something? cuz i said i was sooo scared...and she was kinda like well what do you think i was!! and yeah it kinda hurt me she said that it was like some kinda demon came over her for a second or something but like we used to be really good friends and stuff but shes distanced herself from me lately she hangs out with the wrong ppl and does the wrong stuff and were less of friends and more of just aquantances..its sad :(
welp i didn't mean to.....get off topic?
i just wanna let you know i know how you feel not knowing if someone so close to you is dead or alive? the same thing happened to me!

Hon, he is definitely in a lot of pain right now. I wish he would tell you why. But I think, if he is threatening to kill himself so adamantly and then not doing it, he is not really going to do it. He's scaring you, on purpose, but I think what he really wants to know is that someone WILL do what you've been doing--keeping talking to him despite how he treats you., someone to stay with him even when he's being absolutely horrible. Like God does. But he's not looking to God right now; what he needs is a human being. So, bottom line, it was a good thing not to leave him. I'd suggest trying to be CALM and caring to him--because he's actually trying to get you riled up and freaked out--but I know how impossible that is. So just stay by him as much as you can, and do keep updating us, okay? :S

hey..thanks so much for your note!! 1- i have no clue YET as to what i'm going to do career-wise yet...i don't think its a matter of what i "want" to do as a career *which is good cuz i don't know what i would "want" 2 do* i WANT what God wants me to do...i know i wanna serve him for my career but i don't know how that is....he hasn't revealed that to me yet..so i guess i j/have 2 be patient..i just hope he shows me before i get too terribly older! lol 2- umm well my mom went to the doctor and they said she was "covered" in cancer...and she did all these tests and stuff and she was gonna have to have a surgery and they checked again b4 that....and they were shocked to find out that there was NO CANCER....whatsoever! so...that was probably a miracle!?? 3- ooh good one!! well i LOVE point of grace!! and one cd of theres i love a lot is steady on! so that is probably one....but i have a few..

That took me a good 20 minutes to read your entry...Angela...he seems like...an interesting guy. But don't worry..I know you can't help who you love...but if it doesn't work out with Chris always keep in mind that God has an UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING guy out there for you....and He will lead you to him one day. So don't SEARCH too hard! Also...I know what I'm about to say might be a little RETARDED...but What I Really Wanna Say" By Steven Curtis Chapman...and Keith Urban's "You'll think of me" are really good songs. Okay...was I a jerk for saying that? Sorry!! :) God bless!!

And I guess I'm not feeling very good myself anyway right now, so of course all of the blame is put on myself. I couldn't even imagine what would happen if she ended up committing suicide. We don't even talk that often and yet I feel a closeness with her. Maybe it's because we have so much in common. Thank you so much for the prayers, I'm sure Jennifer feels the same way! Much love in Christ, Courtney

<steams> That boy... (Meaning Mark.) He DOES need to get over his own issues! He hasn't got the right to try to keep you from attending the church you like just because HE'LL be tense. And maybe he's right, maybe you would be too, but do you know why? Because he's the one MAKING you uncomfortable--and deliberately at that! I think (this might be stating the obvious) he is just still hurting and doesn't want to be reminded of that hurt. I know you don't want to hurt him, either... But, Angela, as hard as it is--don't blame yourself for him still hurting! He's the one still hanging on to the hurt; he is the one who needs to give it up to God. It's an issue between him and his heavenly Father, not between you and him, okay? ::hugs::

LOL, I'm sorry for confusing you so much! I was pretty confused myself in that love entry. Still kind of am. :) But once again, what you said made total sense to me! I think maybe I am or was in love with the idea of Nate--of having someone to hold me and care about me. And I do think I fooled myself, even... Like that book "Dateable." One of the chapters is entitled "Girls Will Lie to Themselves to Get What They Want." AMEN! Anyway, this note's too long; I'll probably go more into this in my diary. :) As soon as I get done with my homework...

I meant..."I don't think you should just stop going to that church if it makes him feel UNcomfortable." :)

YUCK. Reading his email disgusted me. I don't think you should just stop going to that church if it makes him feel comfortable. You happen to like that church too...so that's his problem. And if he really loved God he should make the effort to stop focusing on his own issues and come to church because of GOD! :) By saying that you shouldn't come to that church anymore is like him not going to that church...both of you like that church...and he should be able to separate his issues with going to Church....

AAH! Man, I got mad at Chris just reading your entry! I HATE it when guys do that too!! GRRR!! I don't think you're not girlfriend material, I think he's not boyfriend material! Or at least, he has a LOT to learn about girls. I find that to be true about most guys, though. Hang in there, girl. :)

Chris always seemed so nice...and al of a sudden AAAH!! Don't worry about him though...no one has the right to say that you're stupid...that's just WRONG!!

Goodness..this Matt guy seems...interesting. But I'm kinda disturbed at the fact that he read all your emails...I hope you changed your password! :)

Are there other things that need mended in your relationship w/ Mark that would make him more comfortable with you being at church? Either way, that's a really sucky situation, and I hope it all works out. By the way, where do you live?

Even though he would be uncomfortable...it's a church and you should be able to go to a church that you actually like going to. He needs to realize that in church, being your ex-boyfriend is NOT important...it's a church!! You should still go! He shouldn't feel uncomfortable! And if he does...oh well. :)

Hey! You've never left me a note, and I don't think I know who you are, either, sorry. :( But if you want to IM me some time, my screen name is blahblubblah, and I would love to talk and get to know you and whatever. Umm, so that's all I guess. Have a great weekend, if you get this before that. Otherwise, have a great week I guess.. lol. Adios!

Hey, just stopping by to let you know I understand how you're feeling--confused about a boy and everything. I think I've been there with just about every crush I've ever had. :)

hehe I'd love to see you try and read my whole diary in one sitting - 400 and some entries! hehe.. But some of them are from before I became a Christian, so they're not really very good or anything, although I did take out the cursing because I just didn't want that there at all. It's kind of neat though, to go back to how I used to write and what I wrote about, and then see what I'm like now. It's so different! I amaze even myself sometimes at how much change can be made in less than two years. Anyway, thanks for the note and the ear if I need it. You never know, I might just take advantage of it sometime! Much Love in Christ, Courtney

Hey darling! Just stopped by to say thanks for adding me to your favourites! I always love to see people reading, although why they come I'm not so sure ... I'm not a very good writer. But I'm working on it, so I guess that's all that counts, right? How did you find my diary anyway? Just wondering. Hope you like what you've read and come back soon! Much Love in Christ, Courtney

It's not like I don't go to church at all...I do go to church but I don't like my church much. I wish I could get out...but it's "complicated" ad my parents like to call it.

Sometimes God sends us somewhere just to send us somewhere else. Isn't He weird like that? In our eyes, at least. :) But at least we know that He's really got a logical plan in it somehow.

Yay! My devo made sense. :D I guess what I kind of meant was, I haven't polished it off enough so I'm satisfied by how I said some of the things. But I'm glad you liked it!

As sunnyrain (and some numbers) was saying....BE CAREFUL!! I forgot to tell you that...I don't want to be the annoying mother figure or anything.....I've had some problems with it when my friend talked to this guy online..she ended up getting raped....I wrote about it in my entries...so PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!! :) God bless!!

Sorry free2dream... I've got to leave this girl a note. :)
Only thing I want to say about this online guy, Angela, is BE CAREFUL. I'm sure you've had the proper warnings and such from parents, grandparents, whatever, but here's a personal one: it worries me you're smitten (great word, BTW!! :D ) by a guy who may be just putting on a show. Be really careful. Love - Stephanie
