Okay, I just got done reading "The Shack" a few days ago, and man am I dizzy!!! That thing turned every little thing I know about religion upside down! My world is all topsy-turvy right now. I'm not sure which way is up when it comes to religion. Some of the ideas they mention in that book are just...crazy...but they make so much sense. I'm still trying to figure out how, though. And I can't seem to come up with anything...I don't know, but I definitely know it changed my life for the better. I recommend this book to anyone who's looking for something to do during winter break. It will change your life...and that is not an exageration!
Besides everyone acting a little strange Sunday, nothin much has been goin on. Oh well, guess I'll talk to y'all later!!!

My List
Just bloggin to tell ya 'bout mah life cause I iz extremely bored right now...so, yeah...I'll tell you in a list, 'cause I just feel like makin a list of things...I'll even organize 'em for ya!!
Family
1.ugh...don't ask
Church:
1. The duet with my dad went great!! I've never gotten so many complements in my entire life!! But, of course, it was all for God, so its all good!!
2. Caroling last night was awesomeness!!! and FREEZING!! but still FUN!!!!
3. We had a party afterwards and I pretty much went off into my own little world, people worried about me, asked what was wrong, I told them I was fine, and, like everytime someone asked me this in the past...I was not fine...look at number 2 on previous post if you're curious
4. We have a Christmas Eve service at the church on Wednesday and Sara will not be there...*sigh*...I'll take it as it comes
God:
1. I just realized that something I did in the past without even knowing it has become routine and quite possibly made my future more difficult...greeeeaaaaaat
2. I'm getting baptized on January 11th and I finally told my parents about it...yay-ness!!
3. I'm working on getting my prayer back to the level it should be at. I'm not talking to God nearly as much as I should these days
4. His miracles know no bounds!! I have written a new chapter in my story titled "God's Promises", which, in the process of writing, discovered a connection I thought I had lost...GO GOD!!
School:
1. There is none!!! Christmas Break saves the day!!!
2. Grades are...not so good...I'll have to work on that double time when I get back to school
Boys:
1. Well, you all know about Prince Matthew? He is officially in my story as of a couple weeks ago...sorry, forgot to mention that.
2. Sara and Andrew are doing well, as I am constantly spying on them, and have concluded that they are THE cutest couple in the world!!
3. The very next time I see Matt *cough cough* January 5th *cough cough*, I'm going to invite him to my church...if he says yes, I'll see him every four days, at least!!!! eeeeeeeep!!!!
Dancing:
1. Next dance class is Jan. 5th, meaning I can tell Matt about the baptism before it happens
2. I absolutely cannot wait to do the pretzel again with Matt...it's so FUN!!!!!
Writing:
1. In my story, I'm having a terrible time thinking of Ali's favorite dance. When she's dancing with Matthew, she likes the Swing, anyone else, the Waltz. Make up your mind, Ali!
2. I am almost to 100 pages of story and although I am bored out of my mind, I cannot think of a single word to put down on the peice of paper. Darn Writer's block.
3. I have a new blog for anyone who thinks they can write...I post parts of stories on the blog and you come up with your own ending and post it as a comment on the blog. The address is what-happens-next-you-decide.blogspot.com
4. I have only 9 days of NaNoFiMo left, meaning I need to write at least 4,000 words a night
Other:
1. Rough night last night...pray for me
2. If anyone has any idea how I can be scared of something that might not even happen, please let me know.
3. I'm bored...other than that, my life is as normal as it can be

P.S. Leave me comments!! I'm bored, so your comments are one of my few sources of entertainment.

It'll take a miracle...
Hey ya'll...haven't been bloggin much lately, cause I haven't been online much...I need to be more like Megs and post almost every day, but unfortunately, my life is not that interesting...so here's what's new, in order of whats on the front of my mind...
1. I am singing a duet with my dad in front the entire church tomorrow...pray for me there
2. I have some scary stuff goin on with my mom right now that's a little too personal to say here...I really need some prayer on this...for wisdom and for strength.
3. Matt was at the Snowflake ball, contrary to former belief. I danced with him 3 times and of course the best part?? We did the pretzel!!! For any of you who don't know what that is, it's the awesomest move in the swing ever invented!!
4. I am relentlessly teasing Sara about her boyfriend calling her several nicknames, and being threatened with slapping for every one of them...this is fun for me...for her, not so much..but I think if she minded I would've been slapped long ago
Oops...I have to go...BYL (Blog Ya Later)
