Standing

You know it's funny when you start to see things in your life that people have spoken over you actually coming true. Not that I doubt God, I just think it's kinda cool that God gave someone a word for me, and it hits so close to home. About a year ago I guess Mrs Dennise and Boo both told me that I was being called in a place that was hard to stand, but that if I would take the stand, it would be worth it. Just that happened this weekend. I was at my cousins house in Georgia for her graduation. Me maw and Pa paw, Aunt Marcia and haley and me and mom were all there. Aunt Freda, Richie and Kelly where there all week and Uncle Jerry came in on Friday. On Friday night Uncle Jerry approached my mom and started discussing my grandfather in a very disrepectful tone. And while I understand that my grandfather is sick and starting to not act like himself, he is still and has always been an awesome man of God. My mom didn't get upset she just told him that she understood what he said, but she stood her ground. I'm so proud of her for being lead by the Holy Spirit.

The same night after Kelly's graduation, she wanted me to go out with her. And I told her I would go out, but I wasn't going partying. But of course that's what her plans consisted of. It took a lot for me to go against the flow, but I told her I wasn't going. She tried to guilt trip me and I just looked at her. My 10 year old baby cousin was also there and was watching my every move. There's no way I could let her think that that kind of behavior is ok or exceptable. I love her and life is going to be hard enough for her without all of the other influences pulling on her. Anyways I know it's not a big deal but I was very excited to see God working in my life this weekend. Talk to you guys later. Byah

So, What's up with no Day off?

I really, really, think it's time for me to have a day off! I really don't think I can take another week like this. I was supposed to be off tomorrow and now I'm not. And I am going to be off on Friday but I'm traveling all day and going to my cousin's graduation in Georgia so it doesn't really count.

But I'm not griping. I love my life. It's the reason I wake up every morning. I would do so much to get to go to youth camp right now. I know I'm to old but I really could just handle being around all christian influences for a week, and no one knowing that I own the local dance studio. I so just want to curl up on my couch for a couple of hours and sleep with blankets and a lot of pillows. I wanna just take a vaca with all my friends. Us just pile up in a car and go I don't even care where. It would be so great. I would be extatic.

But on a good note........Recital is 33 day away and I'm 33 days away from being stress free. I am totally excited about the recital, I'm just really stressed out by it. But a lot of friends are going to help, and my family is going to be close by. Everyone that I'm close to, Stephen, Alanna, Audrey, Tabbie, DJ, Uncle Tim and Aunt Marcia, Nash and Melissa Wills, Boo and Carrie Britt, Carl, and Susanne, they're all going to be there. And most will be there to help. I can't wait. It really is going to be a great day. I can't wait to see everyone that day and for it to be over that night and us to be eating at O'Charleys.

My Daddy graduated from college Friday night. It's such a relief. It's great to know everything is over now. Well except for the registry. I saw Kingdom of Heaven Saturday night. It's a really great movie. But I love war movies. I also went to 3 Doors Down concert this weekend. And mother's day was great too. I think that's about it. I didn't really do anything else. Didn't have much time. I'll right later. Need to get to work. ~Amber Sheree

I mean really could I just get a break?

Have you ever had a day where you woke up and tried I mean really tried to have a good day and be in a good mood and things just kept getting worse? Well that's my life today. I feel so horrible. It's really funny how Satan tries to use things against you. Like I woke up today and it was just like everything is weighing on me. I don't feel good, I think I'm getting strep throat. But other than that it just feels like everything is about to fall apart. I really hate that I work 60 hours a week and feel like I can't take off from work even though I'm sick. So anyways I get to work and my ex boy friend calls just out of the blue. And I know that I'm not to talk to him. But it is so nice to have someone call that just lets me cry. He knows that I'm going to find a solution to my problems and that I don't want his advice, but he lets me cry to get it off my chest. I never have to worry about him throwing it in my face or being involved in it because he's never been involved with my family. He was my best friend and I never should have dated him. But I did and now I know I'm not supposed to have anything to do with him anymore, so I just don't. I don't really miss him, I think I just miss having someone there. And this whole "just dating" thing is getting on my nerves. I'm very much a commitment person, and I do things whole heartedly. I dont know how to just date. That's weird to me. I understand that he doesn't want to get hurt but loves a gamble right? You don't get to pick and choose. I guess everything will fall into place. I'm sure that there's a reason that everything is happening the way that it is. I just feel like it's trying to kill me in the process. I do have really great friends though that help me through it. Anyways I really need to get back to work. ~ Amber
