I'm going to allocate my request

I don't know why but recently I have been pretty crazy about big words. I don't use them very often and on the occasion that I do use them it is probably in the wrong context. Anyway, if we just capitulate to Jesus then everything will be great. Ha ha. That was for Chuck and Sarah and whoever knows what I'm talking about.

Sorry I'm the worst blogger ever. I could have predicted that I would be a slacker with updating. But I do check every ones all the time.

The point of this post is to ask you guys to pray. I have two friends that are most likely coming to church on Wednesday. I'm more nervous about one than the other but either way I know it will be awesome if they can come. I know both of them from when I went to Bearden. I have more of a past with one of them. Janelle and I got involved with a lot of the same stuff together and just did some stupid stuff. I get freaked out when I know that we are going to have to talk about the past and how she can throw it in my face all the things we have done but I was reminded that the cool thing is that Jesus changed me. It is because of Jesus that I'm not into those things anymore. And all the forgiveness stuff, well Jesus is the reason for that too.

Recently I have been able to talk to some people and just be honest and in doing that God opened doors to things that I have never imagined. In being honest with these people it has helped me to start fixing my relationships that are just messed up with other people. Quick example. The other day me and mom were driving down to Chattanooga and we talked about some hard stuff but its helped to start the fixing process. And its just really exciting.

I wish I had a funny story. But I don't. I love all of you guys though!!!

Note to self.

Learn how to change a flat tire.

Yesterday I had big plans of washing my car and hanging out at the church. I woke up and got ready and drove out of my driveway only to have to turn around. I had a flat tire and I was home alone. I called dad and he said he could be home in about two hours. Oh joy. So I decided I would clean my half of the house.

I have cleaning ADD. It happens every time I try to clean. I will start with hanging up all my clothes and then I will notice that my dresser is really messy. About half way through fixing that problem I walk into another room and realize that there is dust an inch thick on my bed side table but in this same room there are papers that I just need to throw away. So I have to walk to the kitchen to get a trash bag. Then I see the vacuum cleaner. This is my favorite part of cleaning. I can actually finish this job. But this means I have to pick everything up off the floor.

While cleaning I found this box I made when I think I was 10 or 11. Somewhere around there. On it was written "DON'T OPEN UNTIL AGE 21." So of course I opened it. I remember putting things in there that were important to me at the time. Well I start looking through it and the first thing I pull out are pieces of cloth. Hmm...that's important. There are some pictures and beads and ribbon. I'm so glad that those were saved. Finally I found some papers that had names written on them. They were the names I had picked out for my kids. My future kids. They were weird. For one of the guys I had Jimmy. I'm sorry. If I ever name my kid Jimmy please don't let me. Anyway, it was fun seeing how things that were so important to me at that age don't really mean anything at all anymore. I wonder what I have right now that I hold on to that won't mean much in a couple years.

Pretend this is a comment.

Okay. I was going to comment Chuck's blog but my computer is retarded but I know I need to apologize about being a leader and follower of what he is talking about. I'm good at making fun of other people to make myself feel better or comfortable or whatever. So thanks Chuck for stepping up.

Heather: You are not a loser. You are beautiful.
Dave: I will turn the other cheek.
