In From The Night



So the other night i was watching this movie on tv called In From The Night. I didnt see the entire movie but i watched half of it or atleast most of it. Its about this lady named Vicki and her 16 year old nephew, Bobby. Vicki moved away from her family to become a writer, she was also single and had no children. The next thing she knows, he's on her doorstep. He ran away from his home because his parents were abusive to him. Vicki knows what he is going through because she left it years ago. So she lets him in to stay for a few weeks and then takes him to his cousins house so she can continue writing. He calls her and tells her that he wants to come home, meaning going back to Vicki's place, by the way he is on the phone crying despertly wanting to leave his counsins house. She picks him up and she makes a promise to him, if he goes to counseling then he can live in his own apartment right beside her because her neighbor is willing to let Bobby rent it out. So he goes to counseling to talk about his past. He also has trouble sleeping at night because he is reliving the past. In the beginning Bobby hated other people touching him, i guess he was afraid that they were gonna hit him or something.

It was such a sad but really played out well movie. I'd watch it again. There were a few times where i actually shead some tears. ;( I loved that movie. I was just flipping through the channels the other night and this movie looked interesting so i decided to watch it. I've never heard of it either.

***Sorry these pictures are blurry but i had to make them bigger because they were really small before.***

Last night i got a phone call while i was at Saturate from a lady to see if i could drive and she told me the age and gender(7th grade guys) and i personally wasnt looking forward to it, but i was praying about it. When i got to the room i knew most of the guys. So i took 3 guys in my car and Shane the one guy decides to turn up my radio, as we're cruisin' i'm like lets turn down the radio and decide where to go or atleast come up with some ideas. So their like lets blow up those houses and such, so i tell them that we're not going back to the church until we do some RAK. I drive towards Etown and i look over and see shopping carts everywhere, i ask the guys if they wanna go and put the shopping carts back in there rightful places and their like YEA!! We did that and looked for anything else but we didnt see anything. I've learned that middle school guys attention span isn't very long at all. I've learned that it takes patience with them. Even though putting shopping carts in their rightful places was the only thing that we did, i think thats okay. IF I'M WRONG PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! But the night turned out AWESOME and yes i typed AWESOME, its not a mistake!!! I actually had F-U-N!! If i could i would do it again.

Frustrated

My Easter was awesome. I spent it with my grandparents that I don't see on a regular basis. I also got to see my cousin, Tom and his wife Heather and their little girl, Trinity(Trin). The last time that i saw her was a few weeks after she was born and Tom was in Iraq. They now live in Kansas. I was so glad to see that he made it home in one piece.

This is going to be me just rambling on because i'm frustrated.............
Lately I've be so frustrated at work. Like today the part-time salad prep, NM(those are her intials), just walks around and leans on the table and leaning while on the job at Masonic doesn't look good at all. We're always suppose to do something, like clean and organize things. It doesn't help that we got everything done by 1230pm and our break is at 200pm. Well NM is going out with this one guy thats a server and all they do is TALK!!! I work my butt off every day til 5pm. Monday she had to clean out the reach-in and the other part-time salad prep, CW, hears her say, "This isn't very fun!" Work isnt't suppose to be fun every day. So needless to say i just wanted to punch a wall or something.
So when i get home, i change and just relax outside. I'm loving the weather this week, although this weekend its suppose to rain. This weekend all i did was just mow all 5 arces that my grandparents have. Its awesome. This summer my neighbor wants to put a volleyball net up. I'm all for that!!

I've been in the mood for playing softball. I miss playing that. I also want to play basketball and volleyball.

I feel better now, okay not really. lol

Going South or staying home??


I might be heading South this weekend to see my cousin, Matt, his wife Ashley and their son Austin. I havent seen Austin in person only pictures, so i might go down to North Carolina but if my g-rents leave Saturday then they'll come home on Monday, if thats the case than i'll stay home because i have to work monday. I won't know what to do then because i have another 3 day weekend!!! I have off on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If i dont go to NC then i get to see my other g-rents and my dads side of the family, so that'll be nice too.

If i go i'll be heading to Wintson-Salem, NC. (Thats what is circled in green.) I'm not sure what i'm doing. I'll have to wait till Friday.

Beautiful weather!!! I can live with this weather for a while!!! Last few days I've been doing yard work for my g-rents such as picking up ALL of the sticks in the yard, helping in the garden, planting peas for her and trimming some trees.





This is one of my favorite songs by Hawk Nelson, its called "Everything You Ever Wanted"

I walked the line
Leave it all behind
I've been waiting forever
Lets go back in time
When I could read your mind
So long I've been waiting

It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

Its been so long
Since youve been home
I used to wait up forever
I used to say a prayer
Wishing you were there
And im still waiting

You told me once
You'd show up
But i fell for that
Before I fell to pieces
Then I woke up
To no one,
Just a picture of Jesus
And a house left in pieces
It took the seasons going by
To know its not my fault

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

I wanted you
I need you
I want to believe you [x2]

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
tried to be everything but you

I tried to be perfect, tried to be honest
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted
I tried to be stronger, tried to be smarter
Tried to be everything but you

Count down:
Easter----5days!!!
California---93 days!!!!

Another Baby!!


My one cousin, Steve, just had another baby this time its a girl, Kiera. He had a boy, Kaden(sp.) a few years ago but him and the girl that he had it with aren't together. So the girl(Dawn) he's with now is really nice and i really hope that they stay together. Kiera is so adorable!!! I dont know why but I'm afraid to hold babies. I guess i'm afraid that i'll drop 'em or something because their so tiny. I don't know maybe its just me, who knows. Their baby weighed 6lbs 12ozs.

So this weekend i have to stay home and not go running around because my car needs some new parts for inspection and if i had Phillips Ford do it, it would've cost me almost $900 but my grandpa works on cars so i had to pay Ford a lot less than that just for the parts. I was excited but now i have to so some yard work if it doesn't rain but it looks like its gonna rain tomorrow!! oh darn!! jk i love yard work, especally when it comes to MOWING!!! I LOVE MOWING!!!

well enough of my rambling...i gtg.....btw I'm feeling so much better but my side still hurts from vomiting so much, so i'm laughing as much, its kinda hard at work though, laughter is the key to having a great time on the job!! oh yea so we have PRIDE REVIEW at work, thats pretty much when the supervisors talk to you one on one about how your doing your job and I'm doing really well for not having professional experience like schooling and thats what my supervisor, Russ, said to me and that made me smile, so my other supervisor,Paul, had this thing on the back of the do and he told me to hold it, lol...i was like "no way, its gonna shock me or something!!!" He's like "no its not!!" so i hold it and he pulls this pin that was in it and this loud annoying noise came from it, so Russ tries to figure out how to turn it off and just shoves it in a cabinet drawer because the phone rings as soon as he puts it away.
One thing i have to work on is COMMUNICATION!!! thats really hard for me but i have 6 months to improve. i think i can do it.

~At Last~



Rain!! We finally got some rain today. I enjoyed sleeping in since 1000am this morning because I had off today. So I pretty much read all day and went to the mall. I finally finished the book Be Intolerant by Ryan Dobson, I love reading his books, I learn so much from them. I've started to read Psalms and yeah it's gonna take me a little while to get through it.


>Psalms 4:3 "You can count on this: The Lord set apart the godly for himself. The Lord will answer when I call to him."

>Psalms 4:4 "Don't sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent."---the problem with me is that I tend to go to bed angry and I'm still angry when I wake up in the morning and head off to work, then it affects my job and everyone around me, so I still have to work on that, not to go to bed angry.

>There are three absolute truths that we need to believe if we're going to be a biblical Christian: 1. The Bible is the true and inspired Word of God.
2. God exists and is exactly as the Bible describes Him to be.
3. Jesus is the only way to get to God.

>Jesus is there for you when you're up, and He doesn't abandon you when you're down. Christianity isn't based on your good works, as so many other religions are, but on God's good works on your behalf.

>You have to learn how to be intolerant- in love.

>What comes out of your mouth is what's in your heart.----i think thats true for me at times.

>Theres a time in the book that talks about spending time reading God's Word for 7 minutes or so or until something strikes you. Then for the rest of the time think about what you read, open your spiritual ears for God to speak to you, and pray.----thats my problem, i dont listen to God or even take time to do. I need to work on listening to Him and thats my goal this week!!!


I hope this week is going to be a good week for me and that i can open my ears and just listen for once, JUST LISTEN!!!

It was a beautiful day out tonight, despite the rain and lightening but we needed that!!
