2nd semester!!!

Hey!!

Ok, so the second semester has finally started! My home work has been at a minimum as of now and my school work as been the norm!..Lately its been: wake up, get dressed, go down stairs, eat break fast, do family bible study, then start school around 7:30am. Then pick brother up at 2:30pm! It's been pretty chillax during the day! Dad's at work and bro at school all day! So its just the girls running the house! haha (me, mommy, and puppy Sophie) I've been reading A LOT of my book for school! its called "the Talisman." Its an old English book so my mind flies around while i read it...until i've read it over and over at least 3 times i start to understand it! haha its really hard to comprehend!

Friend wise...well, you know how it is! i'm new! i'm just now starting to get out and around...somewhat. I've met the kids in my class and some kids at church..but i haven't really sat down and got engrossed in a "real" conversation yet. Not going to lie...its been really really hard making a "fresh" start when it comes to making new friends. =/ (and being the more quieter type...its been internally stressful!!) I'd be laying in bed imagining the worse cases! (picturing my az friends livin the life! having soooo much fun together!) The other night i had a social night Myer! In my dream I had been at my church in az -visiting- and everything seemed totally normal until all my friends came running up to me yelling my name and giving me hugs!...well...attempting to give me hugs...i could tell it was a dream because whenever they would reach out for my hand or try to hug me...they would go right through me! =[ This morning i told my mom about my dream and she told me that its normal to have those kind of dreams and that i'm simply missing my friends and they are too far to give me hugs. Also the other night i broke down crying when my mom asked me if i was ok. i told her i didn't feel "right". (again...this is normal) -_-

Last week I was looking through the book shelves in the class room and i found a book entitled "a woman after God's own heart" i picked it up. and took it to my room and started reading it. WOW! it really opened my eyes! I began to read the first chapter of the book and it was about mary's sister martha and how she was too busy getting her house all ready for Jesus when all he wanted her to do is sit and be still and talk with him. that was me right there. it really opened my eyes to see that i haven't been "sitting still" and listening to God. I've been so busy moving, unpacking, getting ready for Christmas and then school, and now doing school! That i've totally forgotten about God!! =o *O shnap!* haha...but i've found time at night to talk to God and thank him for everything that he's done. (even though i've cried out "why me?!?" a few times) I just have to keep reminding myself that I'm here. with my family. for a reason. Now all I gotta do is find what that reason is! [= So, please continue to keep not only me but my family in your prayers as we all try to find our own reasons for being here!
Thanks a bunch!
LOVE u all!!!
