Not every phone call has to end in 'I love you' and not every goodbye has to end with a kiss.

"She’s finding love in the back of a car
when is it too late
Have they gone too far
She’s having trouble drawing the line
But she knows she wants to feel beautiful
She struggles finding self-respect
She’ll wake up feeling regret
Her purity's been compromised
But she knows she wants to feel beautiful
A promise made to treasure
You don’t have to give it away
Falling for the pressure
You can’t mend a vow when it breaks
Explain your hesitation
Jesus can be your escape
Don’t taint the situation
This love was made to wait
She's living life out on the edge
Gotta make a move
Move it onto the bed
Temptation whispers in her head
He'll trade her heart
For a trophy
Put it on the shelf
So his friends can see
He has what it takes to get what he wants
Tonight’s the night
What’s wrong?
I can see the fear behind your eyes
You’re scared
You might walk away unsatisfied
God's love
Is the only love to fill the void
He's reachin’ out
Just turn around
And hold on" -the situation by Krystal Meyers
God truly cares right down to the last detail. I read it over and over in the Bible, but till last night when every couple seconds God was talking to me and caring for me. I just got home at midnight from a night of doing no good and instead of feeling guilty, sorry and away from God I feel His presence and compassion so real. I just feel so blessed by Him, and so blessed by having two of the best friends in the world.
If you want to know more about my life talk to me! Seriously! I love people and just spending time with others.
And I am so excited for the changes God is putting in my life and where he is taking me in this next year. I just have to put my full trust in him. No matter how far I run away as soon as I want him I just reach out my hand and he is ready to pull me out of the pit I fell into.

not every
I just read my title for the blog that says 
"Not every phone call has to end in 'I love you' and not every goodbye has to end with a kiss. And I remembered I should come back to my senses sometimes. As I sit here surrounded by some of the most awesome guys I know, why on earth do I ruin friendships by trying to make them into more. Why do I have to be cuddling when I have tons more fun laughing the night away with my best friends. I wrote that title years ago and it still applies to my life today! Yay for being a 14 year old with a little sense that can talk to my 18year old self to stop being dumb.

And I think he is right! They are so fun and you really can't try and impress a guy when you are wearing goofy goodwill clothes, instead you just laugh at yourself in the presence of your best friends because they will always accept you and laugh along.
I spent almost an hour on the phone last night with a friend, and I realized that time spent with people tends to be time well spent. I love cultures that are relational instead of all work. So here is to my friends! I love you! Thanks for making my life a blast, thanks for being a shoulder to cry on, thanks for nights of good talks, thanks for laughter no mater what is going on.
Last night I drove home from Bible study and it was just me and my awesome brother. We talked back and forth for 30min of all rhyming! It was soooo funny! We got home and kept it up a little and I was just laughing the whole night. I really love my brother and am sad we are going different ways. He'll be in college the next four years and I am going into missions. But I am really looking forward to the beginning of Aug when I get to drive him to Tennessee! I come back from Canada for about two days then leave again!
And finally I give special thanks to Charlie the unicorn for making everyday of my life brighter. (if you want to know why just go to youtube.com and search Charlie the unicorn's video about candy mountain.)Sunday, April 08, 2007
love and racing
Since my dad's surgery I have been spending lots of time with him. (please keep praying for his healing and that he doesn't need another surgery.) Today my dad sat down with me because he said he was scared for me.
He told me relationships can be like racing. You are going so fast and getting to know each other's moves. It is serious business but at the same time lots of fun. Sometimes the end doesn't work out the way you want, but as long as you make it. But the most important part is NO CONTACT! If you aren't careful and let yourself drift too much you might end up having contact and spinning out of control. You'll be stuck on the side facing somewhere you don't want to go, with no way to get to the finish line.
Okay so I have no clue if that made any sense but it did to me. And I love my daddy.

It keeps pulling me back
"She struggles finding self-respect
She’ll wake up feeling regret
Her purity's been compromised
But she knows she wants to feel beautiful" Krystal Meyers
Each morning I wake up and roll over thinking how the clock is going to turn to 5:00am and start the normal beeping telling me I have 45min to get to work. I start brushing my teeth and changing and slowly walk down stairs and check e-mail before jumping into the car. I work till about 10:00am till I am starting to wake up. Then I go home and chill because I have worked another nine hour day and am beat.
That has been my life for about the past three weeks. But God has been tugging and pulling at my heart telling me I have so much more then this. I got home from work and still had energy because it was only an 8.5 hour day and just sat in my room with worship music on and really prayed to God. I brought out my Bible that was thrown under the other crap in my room (which still waits to be cleaned) and I read. Not just the read because I am a Christian who should. But every time I flipped the page God was like "SEE! This is what I want you to know! This isn't boring stuff this is real, real love for you!"
And now I know I have to start putting more time aside for God. And now with quizzing done (which I am going to miss, but those who I really got to know I got sn's of and phone numbers.) I can take that time and give it to God. All though I should give way more then I did for quizzing. I really didn't study quizzing, some weeks I didn't read it till Thursday practice.
And as hard as it has been for me I am trying to let go of leading some to Christ. I was starting to be brought down and not bringing up. I guess prayer is all I have to give at this point, but in reality isn't that the most powerful thing you can do? Why is it as Christians when we feel we can't do anything more we just say "let's pray" why does it always have to be plan "B" or something?
