Jason and Matt

well well well, this last week has been crazy. I'm sure you have all heard about the letter from OLV so I will just leave that as a given down point. the kids at OLV did ask the right question and we did give them the right answer but i dont know if they will listen to us or ellen. BUT MOVING ONNN

last night i had the girls over and we had a blast of course we missed Kristen and Elizabeth but maybe the next time we have one they can come. OH I HOPE. the attendees were:
(in order of arrival)
Leann
Tyleasha
Ashley
Rosie
Emily
Beckie
Melissa

hehe was had sooo much fun. we had chocolate fondue (yes it was crunchy but thats not the point) we TORE UP THE GAME APPLES TO APPLES and we were probably the loudest bunch of people while playing Foosball. we also all tried to watch Hoodwinked but since it was like 1 and we were all hap slappy none of us had the attention span for that. once we all settled down a bit we just sat in my basement playing a harmless game of truth or... well truth. lol after a few truths gone way wrong we just settled to telling stories and talking about pretty much anything hah... we all had a lot of fun.

my Christmas was great and i had a good day visiting with everyone in my family. i was lucky and got a lot of the items on the list and let me just tell you, i am having a blast with them. the foosball table was kind of a late Christmas present to everyone lol... we bought it yesterday and it is a NICE table.

well i am going to let you all levae my blooooog and i hope you have a GREAT NEW YEARS

love you!!!

ohh by the way, since Leann had come over to my house early yesterday we decided it would be fun to use guys names for everyone I was Matt (Sanctus Real) and she was Jason (Hawk Nelson)hah we had fun.

poopsie

this week has benn eventful like no other! whew... sunday i think you all know what was up with me and my family. but either way thats pretty much worked out now, thanks for your prayers, its amazing what God does!
sunday Kristen Keys was supposed to come over and spend the night at my house but since my parents were fighting and in bad moods i didnt want to put her through being there so Mrs. Keys and Kristen Adams decided it would be better for me to go over to Kristen's house. so i ended up being there. Kristen and I made mints and the pretzel things with chocolate on top! YUM YUM. hehe the mint making process was gross though.
i eventually came home and i was here for no longer than 10 minutes before Leann asked me to come over early for her Christmas sleepover so i did. that was probably the funnest time ever!... and then i found five dollars... Emily, Rosie, Me and Hannah all went to Leann's house and we played 13 dead end drive!!! (i see the next years summer movie) yeah that was fun, we spent like 10 minutes just catapulting the cat off the stairs, into te fire, making theknight fall on it, the staircase fall on the cat and making the chandelier drop! (okay just for the record that was a plastic cat and those things were in the game we didn/t really torture Leanns cats. I'M A CAT, I'M A KITTY CAT AND I DANCE DANCE DANCE AND I DANCE DANCE DANCE, I'M A CAT I'M A KITTY CAT AND I MEOW MEOW MEOW AND I MEOW MEOW.... oh never mind... then i found 5 dolars.

but needless to say monday and tuesday were tons of fun! today i get to look forward to going to Millersburg again (passing through the most amish places i have ever seen) to go pick up a little cuddly furry cream colored puppy who we will name....

BUDDY... if any of you knew my first dog, before he died his name was Buddy and my dad loved him. i am excited for this new puppy to come!!!!

well i must be going!
love you all!

CLOSER- Sanctus Real

I'm not satisfied in this lifetime

I'm following you to the other side

There's nothing that can change my mind

You're all I need

You're the only tie that binds my heart

Away from you I'm falling apart

We need to be closer than we are

You're all I need

So what can I do to get closer?

I know there is more my heart can bear

I give you control 'cause I need you

To take me there

Like a bird flying south

I'm seeking you out

And there's no rope that can tie me down

I'm running home, I'm a slave set free

You're all I need

I am waiting

Draw me closer

I am waiting

Make me stronger

This song is by Sanctus Real and I love it! I guess I chose to post lyrics from this song today because I feel like I could be Closer to the Lord than I am right now. I feel like there is so much more that I could be doing to live for Him, more effort and time I could put into my devotions and more thought I could put into Him. Also the hardest thing for me, that I could be a better witness for Him and that I could willingly testify to people the truth. It is hard for me especially in english class when I write things about God, like a poem or a song or currently an essay about the Da Vinci Code. I feel like I could be so much closer to Him.
The last line of the song says "make me stronger" and that sums up my current plea.

"Lord make me stronger"
