Have you ever thought about it, who do you know if you are chasing your dreams or just wanting to grow up too fast. Aren't they pretty much the same thing? I don't know where i am at right now but i hope I'm still at chasing my dreams.
Today i came to the realization of how much i miss Jesus! I'm sooo glad it happened! here how i would explain it. so i was in geography class, Mr. Hoene is my teacher and he has only been my teacher for like a two days, but i already LOVE him! no one else does! :) he calls me smiley! :) in geography today we were discussing the religions in the middle east and how theres Christianity and Judaism and Islamism and anyways Hoenes Christian and he knows i am. But he was talking about how Christianity was different because we believe that we can have a personal relationship with God and we don't have to be anyone special to have that or to go to heaven. then it hit me, I was missing that relationship! it was weird because it wasn't like i felt bad for not keeping up in my relationship it felt exactly like it feels when you havent seen a friend in a long time and then you hear a story about them and you want to see them again sooo bad! (kinda like Zac:) And since i have been at Lebanon i have really really been missing that relationship! so now my plan is not like before, I'm not going to just try to read the bible and try to pray to some "thing" i dont know. now I'm going to try to with all that's in me to make plans and keep in touch with him. like i keep in touch with you guys but I'm sure i will see him more! :) I am super excited that i have that relationship with one of my teachers at Lebanon now! you guys have no idea how much joy this brings me! it makes me want to go to church really bad though! i don't know how it will happen though. my mom works on Sundays and my dad works on some Sundays but he doesn't really like going to church ( hes not much of a people person)
anyways I'm glad i can share this with you guys who understand.. or i hope you understand. so for now i leave you with this.

YAY!!!!
=) This post made me happy.
It's weird how much you lose touch with God, isn't it? Honestly, I think that's why we feel inclined to read the Bible. Or feel bad if we don't. Because we know He wants us to, and it actually keeps us close to Him!
Not gonna lie, I never read my Bible. I should, though..
Anywho, during Summer Break, Christmas Break and Spring Break, I always forget about God. When that happens, though, He sends pain my way. =) It would appear that way, anyways. Like, just simple stuff like a stomachache. Or when I'm putting my contacts in. Why? Because I ALWAYS go to Him when I'm in pain. I get close to Him all over again. It's pretty cool, but kind of ((I dunno the right word for it)) at the same time.
I'm sad that we still haven't used that rain check. =(
Soon, though..right??
Shelby,
I'm so glad you have that relationship with your techer now (not supposed to sound wierd). I have a sort of opposite problem though. I feel like I'm being overwhelmed with God. I know that sounds really bad, but lately at East Linn it feels like they've been shoving it all down my throat and I just can't breathe anymore. I'll just have to figure out how to get God back in without it feeling liek EL's suffucating me. Anywho, you are always welcome to come to my chuch. :)Hope your week is fabulous. :)
Why hello, Shelby! Do you mind if I join the conversation?? ;) That's so incredible that you were reminded about that, that it's a relationship and that Jesus desires you. And Kenzi, I feel ya . . . doesn't it seem like some people just push Christianity and make it some fantastic dreamland . . . I guess I'm guilty of doing that too though. :( I don't want to make what I believe just an unrealistic badge though. I want to live it, not force it. So many people, even at EL, are speaking words about Christianity but aren't really living it or they make it sound like something you don't live, ya just "do", ya know? They're on cloud nine but they're not even really applying Christianity to their lives. Anyway, I just wanted to encourage you, Kenzi (and Shelby), that Jesus loves you so incredibly, and He doesn't want other people's "Godliness" or godlessness to get in the way of the incredible plans He has for you and the incredible relationship He wants with you! You gals are fantastic! :) Anyway! :) I'm saying a prayer for all 3 of you (S,K, and K), that Jesus would meet you all in a special way today and that we can be REAL. ;) <3
I'm sorry . . . that honestly wasn't suppose to sound preachy! :( Honest! :)
I hope you have such a fantastic day! :)
Danae! I LOVE YOU!!!! :) you made my day! i thak you so much!
