I forgot about you

Oh Xanga, how I have missed you.  I remembered my password and here I am! 

I am going to make this quick but I want to say... Happy Early Birthday Jesus!  Oh, and I love all of my friends.  Thanks for being so amazing and seeing the person that I really am, not the person that people feel the need to put down all of the time.  I am not ready for the Christmas Season to be over... but everyone else it.  This time of year makes everyone so cranky and what not.  This time of the year makes me very happy because of all of the celebration.

Anyways, I plan to write more often now that I can actually log in. 

tomorrow

And please do.

So, I have not web-logged in a while.  So here she goes...

I am so excited for camp.  I love this town and the people in it, but I need a break from here.  From life.  I will be gone monday through friday.  I do not know if I am going to be calling Springfield for any reason, so if you are really wanting me to call you any certain day, you should tell me because I have no intent on doing so.  I will miss people, but I can also live 5 days without contacting home.  Yes, I love you all, but I really need some Stacy-Students-God time. 

I am really starting to think about some things in life.  Paths I have taken.  Changes that I am making.  Changes that I do not want to make.  Changes that I need to make.  Life is throwing me some curve balls lately and I for one am not going to let them pull me down.  They are coming to me in forms of words and people.  Actions and events.  No more.  I may break a heart or two, but some things need to change.  No breaking hearts, I lied on that part. 

But in all seriousness, pray for me.  That God will give me the words to speak and the actions to follow to better myself.  I am a servant of God's and serving others is very important, but I need some "me course of action". 

Just confused by some things that have been happening lately.  Some words that have been said to me, they have really hurt.  People should really think about what they are saying before they say those kind of things, because I have human nature and get hurt by those things.  I refuse to act like something that I am not.  I refuse to hang around with people who are going to hurt my feelings, and when I tell you that you are, you do nothing to change it.  I feel like I have said too much, and I am starting to get emotional. 

So this is where I say "AMBER JACKS, NEVER TAKE ME TO GET COFFEE WHEN I HAVE HAD CLOSE TO 0 CAFFINE INTAKE SINCE JAN. 1ST."

And I also say good night.

So true

ya!

For those of you who went to retreat, you know what I am talking about.  Our time there was so blessed, and it should not stop with that!

Saturday night worship was amazing, words cannot even discribe.  I got laid out.  We even heard angels singing!  The voices and the melody was so beautiful.  They were singing along when Derek was playing.  I thought I was going crazy.  I loked up at people to see who was singing, and I did not see anyone.  Everyone was crying.  Jennifer thought that I was hiding somewhere apparently and kind of playing a prank on every one.  It was so amazing that I got to experience that, and it is even better that so many other people heard them too.

God really has big plans for me with the kids of the youth group.  It may not be a position with title or anything, but I definantly see why I am there now.  The kids there are amazing, they have shaped me.  I hope that I am the same way to them.

I <3 all of you!  I cannot wait until next retreat...  =-)
