Hello everyone
wow, I haven't written in this for a while.. I'm always busy.. Or tired.. Or something. When I first started this, I posted like every day and now.... I don't, but that's ok.
my volleyball girls and me got in 3rd for the Christian school tournament on Friday/Saturday... Then we got sacked at meadowridge yesterday... They're really good! Anyways... I have a sore throat from all the screaming I was doing on the court this weekend, and my overall body is sore, tight, stiff, bruised, cut, burned, hurting, de-formed, or tired... But pain is different than injury.. Right kirkham? lol

a girl and her mom came to our church on Sunday.. Her name is Robyn and she's so awesome! :) she's 17, a shes cool... and she joined the church dance team!! i'm so excited! so.. ummm.. ya that is all....

i want to encourage all of you people who are reading this to write comments... it's very exciting to read them and know that there's people who are reading what i post and stuff... (thanks Jeff and Sarah and Kate;)) OH YA! everyone pray right now for Kate's ankle.. she rolled it at fuel last Saturday. tell God to bless her and heal her and fill her with love and strength!!

i had a word for my friend a while ago that Jesus was a really obsessive boyfriend, and that He spent every minute of His time thinking you and waiting for you to call.. (even though sometimes He know you won't) but He just stays there and waits for you because He LOVES YOU SO MUCH!! so lately i've been thinking about trying to be His girlfriend and love him so much that i'll think about him, talk to him, pay attention to him, and spend time with him all the time ....pray for me! cuz i cheat on him! (well.. not like i date or anything..) but you know what i mean? like what Ben Woodman said at fuel last month... ya... so ummm.. pray that my relationship with my boyfriend Jesus will grow and i'll get to know him way better and draw closer to Him and feel His love surround me. and pray that i'll be able to talk to him more and spend more time with him.... i want to date him, not ignore him! i want my mind to be consumed by his power and his love and his beauty!! (don't worry you guys, you can have him too...he's hot) My relationship is going ok.... but i don't "go on dates" with him too much... but i want to and i can't do it by myself.. God has to help me (good word on saturday lisa;o))

i think i need to realize that if i want to live the way i described to you in the last paragraph.. means becoming humble and broken as a sacrifice before God. i need to let him cut the sin out of me (even though it'll hurt) but after he does, i'll be in joy! i think i'm starting a season in my life that might hurt me, but it's just cause i need some surgery! and i'll be better after. i also just need to be still and know that he is God, and know that he's there for me and know that i can trust him. (thanks Jess, for telling me "to be still and know" a few weeks ago.. it helps!!)

but.. ya, i think i'm eating dinner sometime soon.. so i better wrap it up here... umm... Jesus loves you.. and i do too!
