I haven't typed on this internet site in a long time.
Since I've been gone..LOST is over. What a great TV show that was. I mean, I know people love to make fun of it and I get that but I don't understand how you can watch it from beginning to end and not find something from it. Oh well. I guess I don't actually care.
I've also cut certain things out of my life. Certain situations and moments and things that drag are going away. I used to think God wanted us to put up and deal with everyone and everything that comes into our little lives. I don't think that way anymore. I guess I could be nicer about it, but it will always seem mean because we're all so emotional and fickle. Oh well..another thing to work at. It's just some situations are better left alone and some people are better left in their quiet-ness or intense-ness.
I've also got a new job. A job that pays really well, but I work a lot. How am I going to go to school full time and work full time? That's a question I've wondered a lot lately. Sometimes the answer is simply..just do it. That question is so little to someone who wonders if there parents will come home or someone who wonders what a parent even is. I've just got to learn to be lazy at the right times. I'm doing alright.
My friend Joel and I meet up every Tuesday to catch up, talk and be friends. I like Joel as a friend because he's not afraid to talk about important things. We don't worry about being "men" or "bro's" or "dudes" ..we just talk about being humans. Joel's easy to talk to too. You've got to keep friendships going that feel good on both ends.
Speaking of friends, my best friend takes good pictures and that's been getting me really excited. She's cute. She'll take your pictures too if you let her!!! Check her out here: EMMY!! :)
My Mom finally got a job. She's been wanting one for a couple years now. Now if we can just get my Dad to find a better job..It feels weird that I'm working towards a degree so that I can have a job. A job to help support a family. That's got to be all that matters. At least it is for me. It feels weird updating this. I know I'm basically updating myself years from now. But if I'm not, hello.

I am right there with you! I've always been the type of person that can't just let a friend go because they do a certain thing or what have you. I don't want to ever seem like the bad guy--but I've realized that when something is literally keeping me from who I really want to be, then it's time to cut my losses. I never thought this day would come, when I would feel as if I needed to cut out some people or situations in my life because I wasn't strong enough. I'm hoping God gives me strength because for me cutting out my "social life" (just the social life that is keeping me from furthering his Kingdom) is a big deal...but I think he wants this for me. I need to focus on what really needs to be going on in my life. As far as the friendship thing goes, I really wish I had a friend here like you have with Joel. If you ask me, it's really hard to find genuine friends these days... well in Florida lol. CONGRATS on the new, awesome job btw!! Keep writing, I enjoy reading :)
Thank you Heather :)
I'll pray for you and your cutting ties. It's not easy and that's for sure.
Joel is a great friend and I'm lucky to have the friends I have.. I know you have good friends too...although I don't know much about florida haha.
I also feel like it is definitely hard to find genuine friends though..BUT THEY EXIST!!
kbye :)
