Anyone, then who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it sins. James 4:17
This verse was given to me by Kristin in June after M-Fuge. At first I didn't know what exactly she meant by it, but I' ve figured it out and repeat this verse multiple times a day. I believe thats Cassie's also, by Kristin. I have begun to realize the relationship I have with God has fallen completely through the cracks. Last Wednesday the lesson was basically on letting God control our lives, and becoming stronger in him. We are nothing without him. We are seperated into small groups (the high school girls in 2 groups, middle school girls in 2 groups, etc.) well I happen to be in Kristin's group, along with Cassie. Well Kristin asked why people didn't turn to God for forgiveness easily if at all. Then she had some girls answer and she looked at me and I felt so guilty, knowing whats holding me back. I honestly can't remember having a good relationship with God, its been like maybe 9-11 months I think. That has got to change soon, I mean I pray and all but I just can't give myself comletely over to him just yet. Just please pray for me. Thanks

Cassie, Kristin, and David...
I have been thinking a lot lately about these 3 people who mean so much to me. I can always count on each of them for advice or encouragement or just to listen to what I talk about...which I do good by the way, with them anyways. I don't talk much to anyone else so they are all mad at me, but they didn't like it when I talked because I supposedly *lied* so now I don't talk. Great solution, huh? I don't know how long me and Kristin have talked total....probably at least an hour on Wednesday night, probably 15 minutes on Sunday morning and then whenever we see each other. lol If you don't know this Kristin is my youth pastor's wife, and David is the youth pastor. David is just as awesome, except he is the one that always lightens the mood in the room, and if you were to ever see him he would be going up to EVERYONE in the room and making jokes and hugging everyone. He is a big teddy bear in social situaions, which is one reason why the youth group/church love him to death! Kristin is shy, or to people she doesn't know....like me and her never really talked before M-Fuge only to say hi, I didn't even know her name! Blah.....well I know it now, and I think I'm making my friends mad talking about her all the time! lol Now, once Kristin gets to know you she talks NON-STOP and is always joking around, singing aloud in the van to annoy you (she screams it out of tune, wayyy out of tune. But how can that annoy you when your laughing so hard you can't breathe?) lol. Now on to Cassie. Cassie is an awesome friend of mine, who also goes to my church. I can talk to Cassie about ANYTHING and know that it only stays between me and her. When I first came to the church last October I didn't want anything to do with the youth group, so I stuck close to my mom during services. But I got to know Cassie and was invited to sit with the youth, go to Second Coming with the youth, youth trips, and go to Cassie's house with the youth to watch movies and eat pizza and junk food some Sunday's after service this summer. Now I play an active role in the youth activities......or as many as I can, thanks to Cassie. Cassie is outgoing, expresses herself Very well! lol she is absolutely gorgeous, and makes my day whenever I see her, even when she makes fun of my AFJROTC uniform! lol But in all honesty, the three of them are just great people. I think M-Fuge this summer allowed my relationship with all of them to strengthen into friendships instead of accquaintances. I think now my relationship with Cassie and Kristin, as a group, have strengthened. You will never get bored when you are in their group! lol It goes from singing like maniacs, Kristin grabbing your ribs, Cassie slapping your leg and laughing, knowing she is about to get it, to playing jokes on one another.....David being the main target! lol I think thats about it for right now.
