Opportunities.
I'm the new girl, obviously. Guys always go after the new girl, and I'll be first to admit I notice it. But see, the thing about me is I love having guy friends. I feel like I've said that in a blog somewhere else, but I do. I'd prefer having guy friends over girl friends, even though I like having girl friends as well. I feel better confiding in a guy, I guess due to previous girl/trust experiences. It was weird. I was talking to my friend Maddy about prom, which is like the ONLY thing we talk about in Chem. Haha. But I was telling her how I didn't think anyone would ask me, because all my guy friends are ... well ... friends. But today was like, uh woah.
Monday at rehearsal I asked Ben if a certain someone (lets call him, ManX) was going to prom. He told me ManX wasn't planning on going. So we had a little discussion about that, and he asked me "If ManX was to ask you to prom, would you go with him?" and I said "Absolutely, I wanna go with him as is." So Ben talked to ManX and blah blah blah. Today at school, it was like all hell broke loose with boys! I had 2 guys admit they were going to ask me to prom, someone tell me 4 other guys we're considering asking me to prom, another person tell me 5 guys liked me, and I had someone say he was going to ask me to prom Friday: WHAT?!
This is crazy. Like, the people that we're going to ask me are my close friends, so that was a little awkward for me, but I still love 'em! Yes, I have a prom date (it is ManX, not that you know who that is anyways), but yeah. But the other cool thing was, God opened up some interesting opportunities for me.
FriendX, not ManX, was one of the guys that said he was going to ask me. He's been dealing with a lot lately, and is just about ready to give up. It's cool though, because he comes to ME when he needs advice, giving ME the opportunity to introduce God, and work Him into the conversation. MAN ITS AWESOME.
I don't know. I know thats short, but I'm just getting some really neat opportunities lately, and it's not one of those things like "Ok, heres the problem, but its an easy code to crack". Like, I can tell this is going to take time & it's going to be a challenge to help FriendX, but I'm really excited. I love seeing people come to God, and overcoming things. I just can't wait to see where God takes this!
Then I realized my desperate need. When I cried out He rescued me He can set you free just look at me! Me & God had beef, because of a sin but because of the cross; I am redeemed, my lifes been BOUGHT.

What a Realization.
Every Friday in my Oral Comm. class, 3 people volunteer (or die being chose) to do a show & tell. So this past Friday, Blaze, Brittany, and Katy did one. Well, Blaze was the first up, and I was honestly excited. The kid's always interested me ... and annoyed me. But he set up a picture of a man in a navy uniform, took out 2 dog tags, and another picture. He passed around the second picture and dog tags, and later descrbed the standing picture to us, as his brother who is in the navy.
When he started talking about his brother, he told us that his brother was never the brother to push him away when his friends were there. He wasn't mean to him, and he always told him to do good. Always friendly, always nice, and always there to talk to Blaze when he needed things; this really made me think.
I have 2 younger siblings, and for the most part, I'm nice to them. I admit, I'll snap on them sometimes when they bother me, or when they yell at me, but like I said I'm usually nice to them. But after hearing about Blaze & his brother, I got a little upset, and I got some convictin. I realized that I wanted to be that to my siblings, or atleast my sister. So my parents went out last night, and I watched my siblings. My mom rented Just Dance 2 for us to play, and rented us a movie. So at like, 7:30 or so my sister and I went downstairs to play the Wii while my brother watched his show upstairs. At like 8:45, I told my sister I was going upstairs to watch Degrassi for a bit. So I put my brother to bed and watched TV. When I put my brother to bed, I kinda messed around with him a little, in a playful way, and it made me happy to see him smile when he went to bed. I went back downstairs after Degrassi (at 9:30) to put my sister to bed. When I she was all tucked in, I told her that she was a girl, and when she gets older she's going to face a lot of difficulties and problems in life. I also told her that whenever she needed someone, to come talk to me, because mom was too old and didn't understand ;) So she said ok, and that I was more the age anyways. (She listens to music while falling asleep), so I turned on her radio, and we danced to her music for like 10 seconds. Then she finally went to sleep.
Last night/Blaze's show&tell really made me appreciate them. It made think of my aunt, and how her relationship with her dad wasn't good before he passed away, and I realized that I didn't want that to happen with my siblings. I mean, it's a possibility. I want to be close to my parents/siblings forever, and I'm thankful that God gave me the siblings that I have now.
