OMG. (As if you haven't seen that enough...) I needto talk. And I already know this is gonna be REALLY long, so for those of you who want to read my babble, brace yourselves. x) I'll start with the obvious - I'm back. And no, not just for two days and a couple of posts and then gone again. I am going to try and be back for GOOD this time. However, I can't make any promises and that's what I wanted to talk about. Pfft I probably should'nt even bother, like you people could give a care. xD! But here it goes, anyway. If you don't want to read all of this, I want to ask everyone to please at least read the very last paragraph.
Sooo much has happened to me in the past...oh, week or so. It started out with some MAJOR issues with my upcoming Prom. I really want to go this year, as it'll be the last time I'll ever see a lot of my senior friends. However I am not one of those girls who has a load of guyfriends, nor am I a popular boys-all-over-me type. I did suck up the courage to ask a guy I used to really like to go, but he said he'd be quote unquote, "really really uncomfortable going with me." Yeah, I feel really special now... *coughcough* Later I was told it's because he didn't want to go by one girl, and then another guy told me later than than that the boy I asked was going and was sitting at his table. Wtf? Now, I was going to ask another guy who's really dorky but pretty nice, and then I overhear him saying hes not going because he has no money. Great. So I ask another guy who I'm pretty sure is going to say no, as he's really shy and stuff. He hasn't answered me yet, but yeah. And my friends havea all already bought their tables, so I'll have to be really lucky that when and IF I finally get a date I can get us a table near them. So basically I am screwed. And I refuse to go alone and I'll be really disappointed if I don't go. And Prom is May 7th. I'm seriously running out of time.
The next thing is that my grandma went into the hospital for spinal surgery, and had to go into intensive care. It's been stressful for my whole family. She's now out of intensive care, and I still pray for her when I can. She's doing better, fortunately.
Thirdly, I went to this weekend event called Battle Cry just last weekend. It really, SERIOUSLY changed my life completely. It was a concert where Christian bands played music and an evangilical(sp?) event where speakers talked to us, all rolled into one. I went with a bunch of friends and my Youth group, and not only was it fun hanging out and hearing cool music, it brought me so much closer to God. It was riveting(sp?), awe-inspiring, invogorating..so many words and yet so little words I could use to explain it and nothing I could say would give it the justice it deserves. I definately felt Jesus' presence in that stadium, and I realized then, even more than ever, that He has a plan for my life. I realized I was on the computer too much and that it was dominating my life and turning me away from Him. I realized that worldly things didn't matter so much anymore, that my relationship with Him was so much more important. I realized I hadn't been putting aside enough time for him in my life. The more I fix my eyes on Him, the more at peace I am. If only people could feel the way I do. Just open yourself up to Christ, and you'll feel that wonderful feeling of utmost serenity and fulfillment. That empty space somewhere within you will be filled. Because no matter who you are, there's that empty space that longs to be filled. He longs to wrap you in His arms, if only you'll let Him. He died on the cross for all of your sins, and I hope that everyone will remember this Friday. It's Good Friday, the day he died. And Easter, the day he rose again. Just remember above all esle that He loves you, no matter who you are or what you've done. I could say more, but I'll stop on that note.
NOTICE: I hope you all read the last paragraph. I really want to spread around to as much people as I can. I know most of you probably aren't Christians, but I really REALLY hope you took what I said to heart, and that you'll think about it. Feel free to leave comments about what I said, I want to know what people think.
