Thoughts 5-22-10


I miss babies. They're so innocent and love you despite your flaws.
10 days and I will be in East Troy, WI working at Timber-lee.
When I come home in August/September many things will change. :/
I miss Hayward.
I want a basset hound.
I am going to miss my cat so much while I'm gone.
I was a bad girl today and had two glasses of coca cola. Big glasses.
I know this is weird, but I still miss the hospital.
Lost is ending tommorow. That makes me kinda sad.
I hate Facebook so much.
The hurt I am feeling is rightful and I know the only way I am going to get through it is with the Lord's help.
Worship music is relaxing.
My cat stinks.
I cant do it without God. It would be impossible.

That is all.

Updates! Updates! Updates!

1.) I got a summer job at Timber-lee Camp in East Troy, Wisconsin. It's been almost a week since I've known and it still feels unreal. I think everyone knows that I've always wanted to somehow move to Wisconsin...and now it's kind of happening. It's so weird. But I'm so grateful that I got the job and the opportunity to serve there and meet new people. 

The whole winter/spring I just had a strange feeling that I wouldn't be here for the summer. I don't know what's going to happen all I know is that I am so excited and so blessed! 

2.) I am returning to Barnes, Wisconisn for four days. Not this weekend, but the next, Marilyn, her aunt (or Mory and Janell) are going to drive up because Marilyn's younger brother Mark is going to be up there to help Chris stain the deck. I can't explain how excited i am for that. It's been over a year since I've been there and it's going to be good to northern Wisconsin without snow on the ground. (Although its pretty with snow too.) I can't wait! I really can't. I love it up there!

3.) I'm finishing classes up this week. I'm very nervous about my term paper in English. I kind of threw it together because I am a world class procrastinator. I would be happy with a C so that I could just get a B in the class. I need to pass that class...It would be ridiculous if I didn't pass it. I worked so darn hard for it. 

4.) I am going to be once again leaving the Imax (obviously). I am not sure if I'm wanting to return in the Fall though. I might have a job watching a newborn baby in October and won't really need to work in September...so I don't know. I kind of don't want to go back.

5.) It's good to re-connect with old friends. :) 

Altogether life is pretty good. I'm excited for what's to come!

P.S. My wisdom tooth is coming in and its killing me.

Updates 3-29-10

1.) It has been 5 months since I have been to Wisconsin....and I am missing it like crazy!!! I just need to get out of town! I had an evil plan to go today but woke up like a half hour ago because I was having dreams about giant dogs and pirates. Not to mention my car would probably die but I DONT CARE! I just want to get out of here. I want to go antique shopping, and go to woodmans, and sit by the lake in Lake Geneva. I need to buy some new shampoo- because I am almost out! 

2.) I have a bunch of stuff to do in my classes this week and haven't even started....sigh. Should be fun. 
3.) Looking back on my old xangas and stuff, I realize how prideful I was. I am just down right ashamed of some things I've written on here, and on other xangas. I am doing a lot of self discovery in these past few months. I am very sorry if I've said thing or done things that were offensive to anyone. 
It's like Matt 7:3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
So again, I am very sorry if I've come off as an elitist, arrogant, or stuck up. It's getting to the point where I can't even read my old stuff anymore. It makes me sick.
4.) I miss babies. =(

Writing Stories With Brit and Em


Tyler Lentil is a lonely depressed college kid who lives with his mom and her pet goose, Marvin the twelfth. There is much tension in the apartment. Ever since Tyler's father, Willy was admitted into the mental institution for publicly eating a robin illegally Marvin started biting Tyler's fingers and toes angrily in the night. Tyler became forced to wear baseball mits on his hands and oven mits on his feet. Marvin only showed aggression toward Tyler but remained affectionate toward his mother, Johannah.

Tyler had never traveled out of Florida until a great catastrophe came upon his Grandparents in Mostacholigrain, Wisconsin. Their beloved bilingual dog, Charlie was accidentally murdered by Mayor Tiki Sinclair, who was so overecome with grief that he jumped off a building.. (A/N: Yes, I know, intense)

So Tyler went to the french speaking dog's funeral and despite the somber event, he fell in love Mostacholigrain, Wisconsin.

One day, in Winn-Dixie. Noelle as singing about mayonnaise while juggling oranges. She tripped on a pineapple and the oranges flew recklessly into the air onto an unexpecting Tyler, who is stroking a baby llama, who thinks Tyler is his grandmother.

Noelle passes out. When she wakes up there is a can of frozen broccoli that Tyler retrieved from the bathroom freezer on her head. The llama is staring at her while Tyler vigourously fans her with a pineapple.

"I hattte Texas!" Noelle moans.
"I hate Texas too," Tyler agrees. "BUT, I LOOOVE Wisconsin."
"I LOVE WISCONSIN TOO!"

Two years later.....

((TO BE CONTINUED!))

Funk


I'm feeling a little bit like a fraud. I don't know whats wrong with me these past few days. It's like the fact that I only have a couple of close friends left is hitting me. I miss the old days. I miss feeling like a part of something. My mini church is great but I realized...I'm sharing my private thoughts with people who don't even know me and most likely will not know me because the mini church is temporary. I feel like when I talk they don't get it. I just miss the old days.

Everything's changed. I am not questioning whether Gods real or not because I know He is....I just feel something very weird with Him. I can't explain it. Like I pray and read the bible but I can't feel Him. I can't hear Him. And it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. It makes me feel like I'm not doing enough and that I'm not good enough. Which I know is ridiculous because I know that theres nothing I can do to make him love me more.

I just don't know whats wrong with me....

Letting Go

 Letting go-Its easier said than done. It's a process. Suppressed memories come back and then come new perspectives. 

It's hard to truly let something go when you let it be your first priority. 

It's like, we call on anything BUT God for help when we are hurting. We go to music, alcohol, sleeping pills, and people. 

When in the background God is gently saying, "Call on me!" 

I've changed my priorities and the Lord will continue help me to process and let things go that I never even knew I held on to.  

Thursday, March 11, 2010


so I woke up this morning, and I realized something. 

I am happy.
I am over it. Well, as over it as I can be.
I think it was babysitting for Kam, CJ, and Kiana.
And the fact that I'm reading Francis Chan's Crazy Love. 
And my new mini-church. 
No matter how I replay the things that happened in my head, the ending will remain the same. 
No matter who was right and who was wrong God loves me and knows my intentions there. I've recognized the problems I did have with my bitterness there, and I've let them go. 
God loves me. 
I love my new friends/prayer partners in the mini church.
I forgot what it was like, to be able to be held accountable with people. 
I am happy
And I am looking forward to whatever God has in store for me. 
=)
