I don't even know how to start this entry. How can I even begin to express the peace I feel inside? Cru small group was such an encouragement tonight. The topic and discussion were exactly what I needed to push me through the week. The people that I talked to were an encouragement. I'm starting to see the effects of an "in love" relationship with God again. And it feels good. I still feel an ache in my heart and a little bit down, but it's funny how such a simple weekly thing can brighten perspective on life and God. True joy and peace does come to those who simply ask for it. I posted a verse on my desk, which is one that many people know, but it's so true: "Casting all your cares upon him, for he careth for you."-1 Peter 5:7. I am also reminded of Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you.." I know that I need this week to help me grow spiritually, so I'm trying to make the most of it. And while it's hard, I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Things are already looking up. And I love it. God is amazing. <3

It really ticks me off when high school girls act like child-ish junior highers. No offense to any of you junior highers who might be reading this at the moment, but I remember how awful eighth grade was. Girls are cruel; girls say stupid things. And I was about to spout out yesterday, "Get a life, and get over yourself." I hate real life drama. People are so selfish.
Which brings me to another subject. I was on my way home tonight from checking my work schedule and as I was getting into a lane at a four way stop a car almost ran into me. And as I gasped and looked at the driver, a teenage girl had the most smug look on her face like she had meant to do it ON PURPOSE! I was ticked. Who purposely tries to ram their car into someone else's? What has this world come to? Ugh.
