sooo...
where to start...
so homecoming weekend was a blast. crazy good times! i dont really feel like elaborating.
basic overview: i went with charles, we ate at chickfila, messed around in kroger and at brewsters, and partied after in sugar mill at jasons, and katies.
i didnt spend the night out (because if i did i couldnt do nething the next day "bc id be too tired"---mom)
we had mon & tues off school so i hung out with people and was lazy all weekend. i worked alot too!
im so happy with everything---everything seems to be turning around for the better. for instance i had a C(72) in math and a F(69) in Physics as of friday but now (tuesday) after tests in both subjects i have a an 82 in math and a 77 in physics.
Charles and i are so good too.
and my parents and i arent fighting about anything.
and work is amazing.
ive never had everything SO GOOD for SO LONG before. i don mind it but i keep thinking in the back of my head "when is it all going to end, it cant be this good all the time can it?"
in other news... i feel like im s'posed to say this in here:
3 weeks ago in FCA we talked about prayer... i didnt think twice about it. well the next week i didnt go to FCA but i went with charles and his mom to church and we talked about how to pray and how you need to single a time out and pray in your room and not just ask for things or hope for things because prayer is more than a good luck charm, its forming a friendship with god. so your s'posed to go in your room shut the door and talk---not ask not hope not wish---talk to god like a friend. well i thought that was cool but i didnt do it. i did write it on my mirror in expo marker and everytime i looked at it i was like oh yea. so then FCA came around. once again i was smacked in the face with another "prayer" talk this time we all spread out and thought and prayed and then praised our Awesome God to the song "awesome god" by this time im starting to get the point that im obiviously not getting something because it keeps coming back to the same point... how to pray. so i went to church with Charles and his mom and it was part to "prayer" it finally hit me. i dont know why it took so long. there are more than one deminsion to prayer and i and most of the people i know only follow the one deminsion... example: "dear god please dont let there be a test, please god" sound familliar. we waste all our time asking for things that we never stop and ask him what he wants and never just listen. maybe this is a much needed wake up call i dont know but thats what im taking it as and i hope you all learn from this too... part 3 "prayer" northside church Sunday 10:00 service East Side Only... if you want to come.
sorry that was longer then i expected...
i thought i should share it bc it was so cool...
i love you all and i hope some of you take the time to read this... and maybe respond.
