How I’m doing.

February 19, 2008

Anon4him wants to know how I’m doing (:

Alright so I’m gonna split it up into ‘categories’, I guess.

Right now:
I’m doing okay. Not good, not terribly bad anymore. Today was pretty bad and I was feeling TERRIBLE. I can’t really get into details of why I was feeling so bad, but just as a hint, girls and only girls could empathize with me.  I was freeeeezing all day, and forgot to bring a sweater. I came home, cried a little as sort of a release, then got on the computer. As much I love both of them, AIM and Firefox were giving me problems causing me to restart my computer about 7 or 8 times [not a joke]. But that’s fixed now, I feel better thanks to my friend ibuprofen and I’m good to go.

Life in general:
Life overall, though, has been really good lately. I’ve met some great people in this past month that have really helped me get through things and get me entertained. One of those people has been a girl named Sarah Benson who is almost 25 and is working on an internship for school here in Miami for a couple months. She goes to Moody, by the way. She recently started a bible study for high school girls every Friday and we’re focusing on how to be ‘Truefaced’. We’re learning about how some people like to wear masks in order to please people and to try to ‘earn God’. It’s really interesting and I’m excited to get into it more.

Concerning issues in my life I’ve talked about:
Oh Challenge. It still costs a lot of money [about 850 dollars] but raising money has been going very well. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get 850 dollars by June, but I have faith. For one, God can do anything, if he wants it to happen so if it’s supposed to happen it will. And secondly, even though it ties in with the former, my youth pastor told me last week that out of all the youth he sees that I have the most passion out of everyone about going to Challenge. I think it’s because I’m so desperate to help others since last time I went I mostly worked on myself and my walk with God, which I totally don’t regret. But now that I have grown stronger I want the focus off me and on others who need the help. Because I feel so passionate, it gives me even more faith that this is what God wants for me and he’ll help me get the resources need to get to Utah this summer.

I don’t know if you remember about the ‘mystery situation’ I talked about, but that is also going very good. It remains to be life-changing either for the good or for the bad but many things have happened since then that gives me a good feeling about it. I have also decided that if you want to know what’s going on, you can message me on AIM, Myspace, or Facebook and I’ll be happy to tell you. I won’t tell random strangers, obviously, but if we talk and we’re good friends I’ll tell you.

Well I guess that’s it, hope you’re going well (:

    It sounds cool that you are doing a Bible study like that and that you are getting to know the leader. That’s always good.

    I’ve had problems with firefox too, but I think I know what causes them now.. anyways. I hope your tomorrow’s awesome.

    Yeah she’s super cool. And she thinks I’m funny. I love people who think I’m funny.

    It’s so cool that you have so much passion.. I was just telling another friend of mine how awesome it was that he had so much passion. I don’t think it’s something I lack, but I think that I don’t have it for the things that really matter.

    I’m glad that you’re doing better! I’ll keep praying for ya anyway! I don’t know if anyone could talk to you and not think you’re funny… maybe that’s what Phil’s afraid of ;-)

    I’m sorry Aly, but the truth is those ’seeds’ of eventual electronic death might be real. I don’t know. It’s definitely a nice theory. I wish all iPod health unto you.

    Thank you, Aly. I really do need that prayer. Especially now. Today was not much better than yesterday seeing as I got all my candy stolen. In church, the youth is selling candy in order to get to Challenge and someone stole about 30-40 dollars worth of candy. But I know God is faithful and I’ll get through it (:

    And thank you Bryan for checking out my blog. You have no idea how much I love new readers! Haha.
