hi,
I'm just tired. Physically tired not the expression tired of (fill in the blank) but just a lot of CEF I've been going over these past couples days is tiring. I've been reading and speaking it aloud for the last couple of days and I feel bleh right now. Some would argue Satan, I'd say my body....
Anyway, I'm packing up tonight the stuff I can put in. Bedding has to wait till tomorrow.Wow, it just thundered really loud. I wonder what's it going to be like at training school....I hope it doesn't rain all the time, I love having devotions on a swing....bring good memories back.
Anyway, I'm going to finish up stuff. I've practiced, practiced, practiced, and practiced...and some....MORE!
Well, I'm just relaxing so I might watch another buffy but I've finished season 1....off to season 2...LOL.
Okay, I'll see you all either the 25th or 26th! Pray for me! Faith.
:)

e-readers and vampires
hi!
Well, today is Thursday. Well, let's see; I have to work really hard before training school. I've been working really hard with the verses, stories, and wordless book but it's still hard. I'm going to pray through it all. I can't wait to see all my friends on the 25th! Nine days guys!
My friend Jason does not like apple products. I was very proud when he went into the apple store. He said he had some problems with the window not maximizing but my sister's fiance said many people get confused on that and there are special keys to use to open it (if Jason read this, he would say "all the more reason to dislike it!")
The reason I bring it up is because I do not like e-readers. I think they mock books that revolutionized literacy ratings throughout the centuries. Though I will admit, if it gets more people to read ,I will be happy however I am still against them and will not get one.
I have a new guilty pleasure: buffy the vampire slayer. I was looking for break through characters and a guy named Spike was one of them. It's not 100% perfect. It has violence, paganistic stuff like demons, witches, and of course vampires and I know there are sex scenes (finished 7 out of 12 episodes of season 1, none yet) but I have friends who watch how I met your mother (which Alyson Hanigan use to be on Buffy) so if there are any, they're all on netflix so I can go through. I know there's one coming up. I have to admit, Angel is very handsome and he's not as handsome anymore (he's Seeley on Bones fyi) but he plays a vampire cursed with a soul. He loves Buffy but one moment of pure happiness makes him go back to his old violent self. I do not like bad boys, so Angel isn't my type, LOL.
Stef and I had a conversation on how three brothers are really handsome but one has a girlfriend, one drinks and doesn't feel called to church, and the last has question about God and religion, but I don't know how he feels about God. I would date him if he was a Christian because he doesn't think he deserves a girlfriend, which if girls found that out they run to him as fast a trapper finds his trap (made a reference to another brother of theirs, LOL)
Anyway, I like Ben B still. I have downloaded podcasts on Greek languages via Itunes U and I have books on Greek languages. Pray for me; not only am I going to be studying for CEF but also try to play catch up for three classes (hopefully Ben will be able to work with me)
I'm excited for Jane Eyre to come out August 16th! Woot!
I have to admit I find bad boys fun to hwhang out with but not to date. I use to think my friend Sam was a bad-boy but I think he's honest and loyal and willing to help out his community as an EMT, but can get a little crazy sometimes. LOL.
Well, I'm going to watch one more episode of Buffy (which is a nickname for Elizabeth and I've wanted to name my daughter Elizabeth but I don't think my future husband would like that nickname, lol) so I will only have to watch three tomorrow. Goodnight!

a new day
hi!
Not only I'm doing training school, camps, Romans 12, Sight & Sound, Beach trip, the fair, mini camping trip, I'm also going to CT!! Woot! I'm planning to take the train. Surprisingly, it's only $120 both ways. Trust me, I've seen pricier trains.
So, yeah busy summer, lol.
I have to admit, I'm going to miss my LOFT friends quite a bit when I'm at training school. I've been friends with them for almost a year! It's been an amazing adventure and I can't wait for many more to come!
pray for me, because I'm taking my Greek material with me too! I only have to do wordless book, memory verse, and five missionary stories so I'm not doing bible lessons this year thank goodness because I hated doing them!
It was funny because Grace thinks Ben would like a girlfriend but I know he doesn't. He hasn't said so in words but I'm sure if he liked me he'd ask me out. But I'm actually not focusing on dating because of my summer, then commuting to my school in the Fall, then I'm transferring in the Spring.
I'm hoping to go to DC next year to do urban/Open air ministries. Praying, praying, praying. Talk to you all later! Faith.

blessings upon blessings!
Hi!
I have to admit. I feel proud of myself. I have a major which I can't wait to graduate. I had a 3.0 gpa. I'm transferring to a school with a dorm. I have amazing friends and an amazing college group. I've survived without a boyfriend for a year! My job, for as much as I complain about my co-workers and boss, it's great working with the kids!
My family is amazing even if they're over protective, and I don't have a new car but it runs!
Praise God from whom all the blessings flow!

(Song title by One Republic)
Well, today I already got yelled by my boss. A year ago, I probably would have had cried but I made some mistakes but nothing that would make the Earth fall out of orbit. (I almost said tilt, lol)
I made some checking mistakes and read some things wrong but everything is straighten out. I'm proud of myself because I didn't hostile and didn't get upset. It's all good
Afterward, I headed down to Grace's house. She has a baby named Marianne. She cried because she was cranky but I got to hold her because she was sleeping. She's so cute. I talked to Grace on how I wasn't ready to be a mom because I wasn't mature but she thinks I'm mature and she thought I was 22! Somebody who thought I was older than almost 16! Yay!
We also talked about how she thinks Ben might want a girlfriend but I said it was most unlikely. At least we have every Sunday to spend with each other. I plan on going to his church, Sunday school, Greek class and volleyball (which is every other Sunday) starting June 26th. I hope by my 20th which is July 10th a Sunday that he'll ask me but one can only hope. I'm hoping to do something fun on my birthday. My birthday present is seeing Joseph at sight and sound on his birthday! (lol) my parents showed me pictures of a motor scooter but 1). It can be really expensive. 2) I live in Appalachia.
So when I pay off school one day I'll get a motor scooter or a cam-am spyder.
Ohhh, excited for training school to end (countdown.....= 11 days, a week and half!)
Okay, bye!

five days
it's Monday. Hi.
Five days till training school. In a way, I'm excited because the school chaplain does amazing devotions and we get to do open air. But the downside is doing a one week course into two, which means being in class all day, evaluations, people I'm not really friends and being away from my friends. I get along with my co-workers but they're not my bestest (I know, not a real world) friends. I get along with my guy co-worker Kean the best, but he's taking a physics course at PSU-Schuylkill that week. At least this year I won't have a boyfriend, Dan won't be there and most of the guys at training school are under 18 and it's frown upon for older girl/young guy dating. So, smooth sailing on that part.
Loft retreat was canceled! I'm still surprised they were short two people! But at least we're doing a mini retreat. Sweet!
I'm sad I couldn't go to volleyball but I'm happy that I got $226. At least I'll go to volleyball on the 26th. Actually, I'll go to church/Sunday school, Greek class and volleyball! So, it'll be a crazy summer! Okay, I need to go!

and don't feel it good?
Today I spoke at a church with a 8 and 10:30 am service with 200 average attendance. I got $374 from them! It's such a blessing to be there. I have to admit it's one of my favorite churches because of their enthusiasm for the ministry and missions. If I wasn't going to loft and planning to go to church there I would def attend that church.
It means I have $600 to meet my goal. I will make it!
Loft retreat was canceled. Only short by two people! I couldn't believe it! At least they're planning a mini trip which I'm going to demand we do it for several reasons:
3. I'm off
2. because it's before school starts
1. it'll be fun!
So, overall, I know these demands will be met.
I'm going to take a nap because I didn't sleep well, I've been up since around 5 something (don't make fun of me Stef!) and going to speak at a church at 7. So, talk to you all later! Faith.

in my own little world...give me your eyes...
so...
Even though I've practiced my speech, I'm nervous. Mostly because I have to get up at 6 for the 8 am service and the second service at 10:30 and the latter has usually 200 people at it. I'm kind of glad loft church didn't get back to me. I'll come home and find an email from Loft church LOL.
The church (the one I'm speaking at tomorrow) is friendly and is a big supporter of CEF but still it's hard when you have to raise your salary and I hate the part where I have to explain why I am speaking at church besides telling the church the ministry; I cringe every time. Thankfully, I only need to reach $900 to raise my goal. This church usually gives around $200, I have two more so that is around $100,200 or 300, then two churches I don't have to speak at, one will $500 and another $300. I have to send out letters though. Last year I made over $2,000 the goal but I'm content with whatever God provides because I know He will take care of me. :) My Sugar Daddy! Haha, I'm kidding!
Matt taught a lesson on how American Christians don't really pray. It's true. We are blessed as a nation and we forget it a lot. Most people don't know this but Samuel Adams actually was a Christian and once proclaimed a day to praise God. Most people don't think he is a Christian but if you want to investigate, go to David Barton/Wallbuilders.
Lecrae once said "" I told you in an earlier post about how after Matt's lesson I ran into a check point and how the state policeman insulted me as I was driving away. I almost thought "well, I don't want to be near that arrogant dude on the day judgement" but I actually prayed for him. 1) that if he wasn't a Christian, he would go to Christ. 2) if he was, that he would be humbled before the LORD.
"In my own little world" is a song about how a guy lives for himself and not for anybody else. It's by Matthew West.
"Give me your eyes" is by Brandon Heath (which he's amazing in concert) and it's about how a guy wants to look at people the way God does. Not how we do, which can be very harsh, but how God does. Honestly, if we looked at people the way God does, I think the world wouldn't be so sexist, racist, chauvinist, and abusive, but loving because He loves without looking at anything but the person. God isn't the scientist who looks at us and says "wow he/she looks aesthetically pleasing" but as for me (Faith) it's cool on how God isn't shallow....
sorry for going off the beaten path. I have to admit I'm nervous and this is the way I deal with my nerves. I'm tired but at the same time I know I have to wake up at six to be somewhere at 7:45 then speak 15, 20 or half hour later. Then the second service starts in 12 hours (it's 10:30 pm) prayers are appreciated!
so, in conclusion, I need to realize to pray with a deeper meaning, a deeper purpose, not just a chant, but something that comes from the heart. At least I have old faithful (my high graduation gift bible) and my utmost for His highest to guide me.
well, I have a long day because then I have a church down the street from me at 7 pm. That's why no Greek class and no volleyball. I can't wait till the 26th! =]
Goodnight, God bless, and talk to you later!

meetings and pizzas
hi!
CEF meeting went well. We went over stuff before training school. I'm sad I'm not going to the loft retreat but I can't wait for the winter retreat! :D I'll least go next year.
A year has passed since I met Dan. I've told you about him. He's about nearly engaged soon to Becky and it makes me sad in a way because she hates my guts and I'm not being dramatic. She hates me very much. She thought I was going to take her man which he probably has forgotten I'm in existence. Dan and Becky have now left CEF which is surprising because I knew Dan hated CT so I thought he might move to PA (because that's where Becky's from) but he and Becky left entirely. He's been with CEF for seven years. He doesn't have any other training besides piano. Becky only has a degree in ministry but has started her own business as a jewelery maker and she's very talented. Dan is very talented on the piano and trumpet. I have to admit I would be glad if he left her and came to me but I know it's not healthy, besides his and her families have adopted both of them so if I came in the picture, his family would hate me. so, it's not going to happen. I know this for a fact.
Anyway, I had pizza for lunch though I didn't like the place (I'm not very picky so it must be bad!) service was too slow and there wasn't a lot of people there and she forgot our topping. Such as life...
I need to work on my speech for tomorrow. I speak at a church with a 8 and 10:30 service and a 7 pm service. So, bye y'all! Faith.

love's arrogant staties
hi!
I had a great day. Before I went to loft, I saw Ben who was working. I wanted to say goodbye to him because I wouldn't see for another two weeks. I feel silly because I realize he doesn't want a relationship. I had to wait a half an hour before I could talk to him!
Then I went to loft. It was fun and I got to hold little Marianne who has a really bad case of colic. Becky Jo has a way of comforting babies, and Marianne just feel asleep. Becky Jo would have been an awesome teacher or some type of children's worker if she had gone to college but she works at a daycare and I'm sure she does an amazing job there too. At least I'll visit Grace and Marianne. She's cute!
So, after hearing an awesome message of how we should pray for people's salvation instead of our convenience or health I'm driving home when there was a check point. I've seen videos where cops get out of control so I was nervous. The statie I talked to was nice, but another one said "poor bugger's petrified" they all laughed. It hurt because I was thinking on how guys think about me before the check point. I don't think I'm girlfriend material simply because guys like girls who are fearless and I'm very fearful. I do get nervous easily but I'm trying to work through it and it's just hard. I should be fearless with the crud I've gone throughout high school (last year posts to get an idea)
So, if I do date, I'm sure the adrenaline junkie won't be after me. Even though I love a good rush, I can't do it all the time. I think that's what a guy wants: fearless and up for adventure anytime. I need to build up to it.
title is where Ben works and arrogant staties are the state police. Okay, long day tomorrow! Goodnight! Faith.

water tubing and loft!
Hi!
I was so excited to go water tubing...till I got to the church and saw thunder and lightening....Stef called to say it was canceled. I went to her house, we played Wii golfing, boxing, bowling, tennis, and Frisbee. Bowling and tennis were my favorite.
However, Travis asked if we could come, and I really wanted to so Stef and I came to his house and we went to a dam to go water tubing. I was nervous at first but then I went on the tube and it's a lot of fun! I loved every second of it. Then Stef did it and I almost did a second time but Travis's boat wasn't working. At least it's a dam and everything was cool. Then he did, we relaxed, talked about random things. At least I kind of sort of got over my fear of getting stuck in the middle of the lake. An ocean...I'll get back to you later, LOL.
Which speaking of that, Stef and I are thinking of taking Jason, Sam, and Janelle to the Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Jason and Sam are going but I'm going to ask Janelle if she wants to come. If not, we'll ask Travis or Ben H. and if he doesn't want to come then, we'll ask Ben. B. I wish it was July 30th! It'll come fast! I hope to convince the gang parasailing and I hope to fly a kite, which you can't till after 5:30 pm :( but we're not leaving till 6 so maybe I can.
Well, tonight is loft and it's only four hours away till I leave da haus to go. It's 3, I usually leave at 7. I need to finish up CEF stuff before I go! Talk to you later!
Faith.

country music
hi!
you should be surprised. I don't like country music very much. Mostly because it can be about alcohol, bars, women, and tractors. So, none of those relate to me.
However, I want to learn how to play the banjo, and banjo is mostly used in country and bluegrass.
I like Lady A but many people say they're country and I like the music of Taylor Swift because it has a banjo in it. I'm listening to Keith Urban and he's pretty good. I don't like Dierks Bentley very much but he might have some other good songs to listen to. I'm going to ask Stef if there is any type of country music I would like. There is so much country music so we'll see.
Hopefully we're going water tubing tonight. Praying about it!
Talk to you y'all later! Faith.

rollin' rollin' on a river
hi!
Tomorrow (well it's 12:30 so today) Stef, Travis, another person TBD, and myself are going water tubing!
I'm taking a Greek class soon in a couple of weeks so I'm excited about that as well. Hopefully I'll eat some Greek food soon.
I've decided when I go to the other community college, I'm going to take banjo lessons. There's a studio nearby and I always wanted to play it so hopefully I can afford the banjo and the lessons! I want to watch the dancers whenever I'm doing the banjo. I also like to learn to do country dances.
My friends who were engaged on impulse broke up...not even dating. It's sad. I think he was getting cold feet and needs a good ego killer. I've learn killing ones ego usually makes somebody stronger.
My friend who was extremely cocky during his senior got into car accidents, failed an English paper even though it was completed it was late, broke up with his ex, got rejected from his favourite school so all those things have made him a less egotistic person and he's a great friend. He's going to become a missionary and is engaged to a girl who is a nursing major, interested in the mission field. So, everything has worked out for him.
Well, I'm tired and has an crazy but exciting day ahead of me. Talk to y'all later! Faith.

giggle fest
hi!
Last night I was looking over the Greek alphabet and here are some words that made me laugh last night:
Lambda (I thought I was saying, Lamb-duh!)
Pi
Tau (I kept saying Tao)
Upsilon (the u is suppose to be German so I kept Oopsilon)
Chi (lo"ch", I thought lockness monster, then I thought nessie)
Psi (li"ps")
So, yeah I was really tired last night.
I'm reading an old fashioned girl and I can relate to Polly because she is shy, modest, wears plain clothes, and lives in the country. She comes to stay with her friend Fanny who loves gossip, boys, new clothes and novels (back then novels had sex, rape scenes) basically Nicholas Sparks and Danielle Steele for their time. So I really like it. L.M.A. is such a good author. I plan on taking eight cousins and Gulliver's travels with me to training school because reading books is my therapy. It helps me escape reality, and chaos. I read it for fun anyway too!
Okay working on Greek words and CEF-related stuff. Talk to you later!

it's been a year now
May 2009. Abby checked out Lancaster Bible college. Along there, she met Jeremy, who I discovered grew up in the area I lived in. We decide to meet at Cabela's. While there, I meet Joshua. He doesn't think I'm pretty but only quiet. I don't really find him that interesting...till later on.
We go geocaching, eat at McDs, hike at the Pinnacle in Hamburg (we become official 06/08/10), go walk around sweet arrow lake and eat at the Manheim diner (not all at once LOL!) Then I go to training school....
At training school, I met a guy named Dan. I thought he was attractive but I knew I wouldn't like him, just because I had Josh. But strange things started happening and though we never had an affair, my heart started to go to him. It got to the point where his now girlfriend gave me the biggest glare known to man-kind because her now boyfriend was looking at me. We got along great, he even hugged me goodbye.
After eight days of intense homework and seven days getting up at 6:30, not getting till 11, I was zonked. After a three hour hot car ride home, he wanted to see me but exhausted and feeling guilty, I told him I'd call him the next day. After church, I went to a picnic, forgetting him. I was wounded by my co-workers because they refused to help me and snapped at me when I had questions. June 28th, he changes our facebook relationship status. Didn't talk to me; just changed it. It became a bloodbath after that but you can read May-June 2009 posts of our adventure.
I admit, I feel guilty for liking a guy who lives in CT and will marry his now girlfriend very soon. It was pointless, stupid, and the ironic thing was, the lesson for that week was on temptation...epic fail Faith!
I have to admit, it's hard to see Dan with this girl who hates me so much. They are now leaving CEF and it's going to be hard for them because that's the only training they have. I really hope it works out for them.
CEF is my last summer. After seven years working (five volunteering, two getting paid) I've decided to retire and move on. I want to go to creation one day; a missions trip; even to the summer retreat at Loft! LOL! I'll be done in August.
Sometimes I wonder if I'll do it again...be with somebody and start feeling the temptation again. Thank goodness, I'm going to training school single and most of the guys are under 18 anyway so that's a relief! Ups and downs of being one the oldest. I won't really hang out with them because with the hectic schedule I'm going to bring a book on learning biblical Greek, a fun book, and a journal to document and post later. We do get an hour break everyday. I'll be happy to go to the bonfire, then church and Sunday school to go see my true and real friends!
Okay, goodnight! Love, Faith.

good news post!
Hi, I'm having a good day!
I went to get bloodwork, which she took five tubes! We went to out to breakfast. I had eggs, sausage, homefries, and white toast. I didn't really want the eggs because they're not my favourite thing but I want the sausage to restore my iron.
I came home and got the mail and I've been accepted to another community college which has dorms! I cannot wait to go. I also don't have to take math, which is a relief.
I have raised more support and I only need $900 dollars to reach my goal. I have three churches, with one having two services. I would like to go to the Loft church but no one has gotten back to me. I can't till Friday, which is exciting! I get to go to Loft and see people! I can't go to volleyball because I speak at a church but I'll be at the next one!
I'm getting into a Greek class which my friend Ben has recommended me to take. He hasn't told me how much it's going to cost. I like Ben but I've always wanted to take Greek anyway. The language Paul wrote in! Then I want to know Hebrew. Ben is great but I'm enjoying our friendship. With me going to a community college and the distance between his school is about three hours! So, I'm enjoying the time I can spend with him which I only see him at loft, volleyball, church and hopefully this class :)
June 26th will be busy! The Saturday before Stef is throwing a bonfire and her brother comes home tomorrow, which she's excited to see him then I'm sleeping over at Carrie's house, then church and Sunday school at loft church, then hopefully I can attend the Greek class, and go to play at least one volleyball then go home to go to camp. I'll be busy bird till the week of the 14th of August.
Stef and I are planning to go to the beach. We have at least one guy friend confirmed. We were thinking OCNJ or Delaware. I thought about an overnight trip because a day trip feels rushed but we'll see. We're going to ask a couple of our friends who are all guys. Most of the girls we ask to any event won't come. But I'll ask Janelle if she wants to come.
I finally got an old fashioned girl and eight cousins but my library did not have Rose in bloom (sequel to Eight cousins) which makes me sad. I've read it six billion times but I still love Louisa May Alcott. She's amazing!
Off to read more! Bye y'all!

more awake to post....
hi!
I slept well. I had fun yesterday but I think I was a little too hyper last night with the water balloons. Sam and Stef had a contest to see who would get up from the bench first, and whoever did that would lose. Well, Jason and Randall had water balloons, which I went crazy with! My friend Ben said it was school grade behavior.
He's a great guy, but I like I said, it just will never work because of him attending school at Penn state and working at subway. Some things just never work out....such as life....so I might take Greek but I'm not sure yet. I want to learn Greek because of the New Testament, Greece, and Greek diner owners. So, I hope to learn in but Ben said I have to learn the alphabet on my own, which my Dad has books on Biblical Greek, so I'll learn it at training school. Next year I'll go to the retreat!
Anyway, my friend Eric is unique person. I don't like him romantically but he plays the fiddle and he comes across sarcastic but I don't think it's intentional. He likes my name and he'll talk to me. My one friend Travis, which I know he doesn't like me but he's been friendlier than usually....I don't get it but like I said he doesn't like me.
Anyway, my friend Carrie thinks it doesn't hurt to see Ben once a week but I don't know what to do! I won't ask him because from past experience, it hasn't work out!
Okay, I need to my chores! Later! Faith.

tired but still posting anyway!
hi!
I had a fun day. I first spoke at two churches, then ate McD's for lunch, went to see X-men (which I liked it and Hank/Beast LOL) Then I accidentally bumped my leg, which caused a huge bruise/bump on my leg, but on the bright side, at the bug bites are slowly going away.
Then we had volleyball. But the most funny part was when Sam and Stefanie decided to wait out in the rain on a bench to see who would lose. But they both got up so, both won.
I played volleyball but I mostly threw water balloons at people, which my friend Ben B. (I know a lot of Ben's!) said it was grade school stuff....haha sometimes I'm really immature which I'm working on. I like talking to him but he doesn't like me. I thought I knew but he 1) goes to penn state 2) works at subway almost every day (wish I could I visit him Friday but that's be plain creepy) 3) very logical so, he'll factor those two things above and won't ask me out. Such as life....such as life....
I had a fun night but I'm tired, going to get a glass of milk, something to eat, then "zzzzzz"....LOL. God bless! Faith.

"Tchaikovsky, The Nutcracker: Waltz of the Flowers"
he's one of my favourite composers. Yes, I admit, I'm a little romantic. I like classical music, poetry, ballet, cards, jewelry, flowers (not red roses though) daffodils, dahlias, daises, white and yellow roses, and lillies including tiger and calla. But I'm also not romantic...hard to explain LOLTomorrow is exciting because I speak at two churches, eat lunch at home, go see X-men with Stef, then volleyball.

creepin' creeper....
hi!
Today has been a lazy day. Well, mostly because I stayed up till 1 in the morning stalking one of my friend's facebook to see if he ever had a girlfriend and he had one exactly almost three years ago of June 10th 2008. I know, I am a weird person. LOL
well, getting some CEF done because I start in about two weeks, then off I go! Then it'll be done and school again. My summers tend to go fast!
My parents are supporting me to go to the community college with the dorm then graduated. I hope to get involved with the loft church afterward, doing some children's ministry: I like kids upper elementary to middle school, and that's weird because that's when most people want nothing to do with kids that age. Most girls like little kids but I prefer older kids myself :)
So, tomorrow I speak at two churches, lunch, movie with Stef, then volley-ball. So, I say good day!
Love, Faith.

circle k and gulliver's travels
hey guys!
yesterday I helped out at a camp called Circle K where they were having the senior picnic. It's camp where the pastor and his family of the college youth group I go to run a camp the whole month of July. They also do retreats for the church, which I now wish I was going but I have training school :( next year I'll go, so I'm looking forward to it!
It is the nicest looking I've ever seen. Nice kitchen, nice cabins, chapel, wooded area, and nice outhouses too! LOL! Of course it has different games including gaga,volleyball, and pool. Overall, it's a great looking with great looking people :). When my friend Travis was telling how special this place was, I understand why. He was sharing his testimony with us not too long ago. He tried to do good things, study to get good grades, join boy scouts, etc but he still didn't seem satisfied, so he took a walk to clear his head, when he saw this camp and it changed his life forever. No wonder it's so special to him. He also brought his duck Highway, haha.
We watched the movie Gulliver's travels which is a Jack Black version and it was funny....but you know it's Jack Black. I ate three tiny bowls of strawberries with chocolate in them. It was cool they had an ice cream machine even though it killed some of the electric outlets, which Bob III (I'll call him that) fixed it.
I have a confession to make: His mom and sister have been the ones trying to fix me up with him. He's the one who told me though I was an amazing girl, he wasn't romantically interested in me. According to my friend Janelle though, he ignores most girls anyway so I was rather surprised when he told me I was an amazing girl. I didn't tell a lot of people because I didn't want it to be awkward. I didn't tell Stefanie because I know she doesn't really like him so I didn't know what her reaction would be like. I only told my friend Janelle because she was the one I told her I asked him out. It's okay, such as life....
I love his family; they're great and that's why I think a lot of girls would date him because of that. He's only 21 so he doesn't have to date and neither do I :).
I read this thing by Leslie Ludy who has a magazine and a ton of books on this subject. She asked guys about girls when they're single and they were very encouraging. They said to focus on their relationship with the LORD because when you're married and have kids, you can't really focus on it! So, it gave me peace and Oswald Chambers has this way of giving the right advice at the right time! Well, actually the LORD does....
I got to told baby Isaiah, which he is so cute and big! I'm going to read Gulliver's Travels now. Goodbye! Faith :)

I have a confession to make: His mom and sister have been the ones trying to fix me up with him. He's the one who told me though I was an amazing girl, he wasn't romantically interested in me. According to my friend Janelle though, he ignores most girls anyway so I was rather surprised when he told me I was an amazing girl. I didn't tell a lot of people because I didn't want it to be awkward. I didn't tell Stefanie because I know she doesn't really like him so I didn't know what her reaction would be like. I only told my friend Janelle because she was the one I told her I asked him out. It's okay, such as life....
I love his family; they're great and that's why I think a lot of girls would date him because of that. He's only 21 so he doesn't have to date and neither do I :).
I read this thing by Leslie Ludy who has a magazine and a ton of books on this subject. She asked guys about girls when they're single and they were very encouraging. They said to focus on their relationship with the LORD because when you're married and have kids, you can't really focus on it! So, it gave me peace and Oswald Chambers has this way of giving the right advice at the right time! Well, actually the LORD does....
I got to told baby Isaiah, which he is so cute and big! I'm going to read Gulliver's Travels now. Goodbye! Faith :)

nice day
hi!
Now yesterday is resolved everything is good now. She didn't apologize but at least she'll let me know this time. As for the dating, leaving that one to prayer.
well, my sister wants me to go to a residential school. I don't want to go mostly because of all the general education requirements especially the schools I'm looking at. I'm praying about it. I also thought of becoming a park ranger. I still would have my paralegal degree but also get my degree in history....most likely but I'm still with the paralegal degree.
Anyway, today I'm helping out at the senior banquet. I know where the location is, I know I'll be cleaning dishes and dishing out the food but I don't know what else I'm doing! LOL!
Well, I'm taking Helen out for lunch today :)
Today is suppose to be windy.sunny. and 68! Sweet! Bye guys!

to be or not be....
hi....
to be angry or not to be angry?
to be worried or not be worried?
to be annoyed or not to be annyoyed....
that is the question:
to be angry or not be angry:
This morning my sister comes in. She asks if it's okay to borrow an outfit, I say sure. I have two green dresses: one is a full on dress while another one is a a shirt and skirt. I thought she meant the full dress which she already has taken away from me but my speaking engagement outfit, the one I said she could never have....you probably know which one she took.....
Then she comes home, in another dress she took without my permission. When I asked her, she didn't apologize, all she said was "I was in a rush this morning" and "you borrow stuff from me all the time" well, I just returned pride and prejudice to her, and if she demands her old dressy pants and a shirt she never wore, I'll gladly give them back to her. She refuses to go clothes shopping, and assumes she can borrow anything she likes. Anyway, I don't know what to do. I want my clothes but should I be angry about it? She has a car, and works in Pottsville, so she's near a wal-mart and a Boscovs'. When she's in Lancaster she's near everything! So, I'm not sure......
to be worried or not to be worried
It's been a year since I have dated. There are plenty of guys out there; they just don't seem interested. my one guy friend Eric said that if a guy likes a girl "he'll ask her out" and I also read somewhere that "if he's not moving heaven and earth to be with you, then he's not that into you"
Well, I'm not even 2o and I don't want to be married now, so what's the point? I also want to look into the mission, however with me becoming a paralegal, I don't think that's happening.
I think I just feel that guys don't think as romantically interesting but only as a friend. I get it all the time: "nice, nice girl, nice friend and friend" and most guys are dating, on the verge of dating, pinning after their ex, or what I just said; only platonic-ness. One guy said, "that I was an amazing girl" he just didn't find me romantically interesting. His poor mother and sister; they're trying to set me up with him.
I mentioned about how at volleyball, a girl asked if I was dating...WHY?
People tell me: wait, initiate, pray, destiny, the one, the right one, God knows who He has in mind, ask him out, etc....
I do pray but the other stuff listed above, I'm either too desperate or too weak. Ughhhhhhh! Such B.S and crap makes my head spin....
No one has a straight answer what to do. But I know I can always pray, which I am doing.

To be annoyed or not to be annoyed
I wonder if it's okay to be angry at my sister and to wonder what will happen with my love life...oy, I don't know. Neither of those things have ruined my day, thank goodness.
I don't know what to do next. The only thing I did do was write a note on my closet door prohibiting her to borrow any more clothes. I'm not thrilled she didn't apologize or even think there's nothing wrong with it; she justifies her behavior by telling falsehoods that I borrow everything.
As for my love life, I have resolved only God knows if I'll ever marry. If I don't, I won't be like Estella's adoptive mother Miss Havingsham whose groom left her on her wedding day and stole her money and now she wears her wedding dress and sits there, watching the wedding cake get more disgusting and teach my nieces that they should hate men (from Great Expectations) but instead I'll devout my life to children knowing about (regardless of my relationship status)
So, whatever happens, happens....I know you might think I'm a liar but I think I've come to a realization that dating is really out of my control and since I don't want to be married until maybe my mid to late twenties then I won't be dating for awhile.
My mom asked me today if there was any guy at loft that I imagined myself married to? (wish is a question that is so out of the ordinary coming from my mom) and I thought most of the guys at loft are amazing. They love the Lord deeply, they're involved in some type of ministry whether at church or elsewhere, they have senses of humor and (most) are up for an adventure; some do or want to do ministry full time; pretty much all of them really kind. So, I think there are a couple of guys named Ben R. and Josh M. are not my type and they're a little older and Sam and Ben H. because they do not attend church which thank goodness they come to loft. So, besides those guys (also one guy is engaged, another who comes sometimes is in a relationship) I wouldn't say no if they asked me. But they're not the fooling around type and I respect them for that.
so, I feel better LOL! But I know she's probably mad at me. Talk to you all later! Faith. <3
