random thoughts poured out...
To those who read my journal,
I thought I should start writing real updates again. I was updating songs or... a couple words at a time...thought I should change that.
Well... Christmas and New Year were wonderful times. I had so much fun with family. There was a lot of tension between my twin and I... but I think that was solved out...somewhat... a little bit. Lets just say that I think it's good we are now separated for a while. I know I like it so far... I miss her... but I like this. There's no fighting! There's no competition... no getting annoyed that she doesn't talk to me much anymore. I hope she understands this... I don't want her feelings hurt cuz I love her too much. heck, she probably thinks the same way. So... lets leave that at that!
I stayed behind! I'm still in NY. And I will be staying here for a while... I like it here. I'm getting used to my surroundings... I'm getting used to the church again. I missed the church. I grew up there... was baptized there.. I like it there. Pastor Emery is an amazing pastor! Wow... it's like... even though he's speaking to the whole church... he's speaking right to you. It's kinda scary but amazing at the same time...
Many of the people there are nice too. Some of the youth get on my nerves a bit though. Mostly because some of them come for the wrong reasons... during the service they will talk with one another or play on their cellphones... it's happened in their sunday school too. I checked it out a couple of times. The youth group has gotten better though with the new youth pastor! That's exciting to me... :)
Hm... my best friend Julie has been hanging out with me more. It's exciting. It's amazing to me how through all these years of being apart... we are still close. It's called commitment. :D She's an amazing person. To all of you who don't know her that well.... get to know her. She's so fun to be with. We stayed up talking till 3 in the morning when she came over for a sleepover. Fun times! :)
Last night I had fun decorating and organizing my room. It's the FIRST TIME in my WHOLE LIFE that I'm having my own room. It's kinda scary. Last night I went to bed earlier cuz I knew I had to get up early so I could go to the gym and workout with my mother (which was fun, btw). And while I was laying in bed... it was SO weird... it was SO quiet in the house cuz everyone was sleeping. But it was something I wasn't used to. Cuz I've shared a room with Christina like... all my life... and we'd stay up... while everyone's sleeping... talk a little then fall asleep... And then for my first semester at Taylor... it'd be noisy in the dorm room and out of it. Girls would be out and about at like... 12 or 1 in the morning while I wanted to sleep.. Christina would be chatting with robert online... so I could hear the keys everytime she'd write him... something I slowly got used to. So last night, I couldn't even hear anyone else's breathing in the room except mine. I told my dad in the morning that I had a hard time going to sleep cuz I was the only one in the room... and he understood me... told me that I'd get used to it. I think i will. lol... missionary life... you arne't the richest person in the world when you are a missionary... my parents could only afford three bedroom apartments... and a family of six... we all had to share rooms. :D Fun stuff...
In the meantime... I LOVE my room... I love having it to myself... being able to do whatever I want. I still have to do more decorating just cuz I am weird like that... but all well. *shrugs*
My new year resolution... yes... I have a couple... but I'll only tell you guys one of them. :)
I want to grow spiritually... I want to be closer to God than I was. I love Him... and I think He deserves my love and friendship. He died for me... I think he deserves at least this. He deserves a lot from me... but for now I want to serve Him in all I do and grow closer to Him. :) I wish everyone in the world could turn to Jesus... cuz He just solves a lot of problems... when it seems like you have no one to trust in when things go bad... you can always turn to Jesus cuz He has his arms spread. He's always ready to talk to you, pray with you, listen to hear you worship, listen intently as you randomly tell him all your thoughts, dreams, goals, and secret desires. He's basically the only one who understands everything about me. I love Him!
I think I wrote enough....
