Tweet I got a new car!! I am so excited–after driving my lovely jeep for three years-I am finally getting something that goes over 85 and gets better gas mileage!! It’s a 2000 Ford Focus-the hatchback one and it’s green! more later..

Tweet I got it..the “I just want to get married” bug. For the past two days me and one of my friends have spent two hours looking at engagement rings! And I decided I just want to get married!! Or actually, I just want a big rock on my finger:) just kidding..but in all reality I have caught the bug.. on a different note, I will be back to blogging soon..life took some unexpected turns and my thougts aren’t coherent enough to blog about yet.. love ya allamanda

Tweet I think if you go to my archives somewhere I have a post entitled “?confused?”..but alas that is where I am once again. I don’t know what I am doing or what I want to do and most importantly what God wants me to do. Ever since I have graduated I have had this desire to get into youth ministry. I want to be a youth leader or a coach or something that gets me interacting with teens. I mean, I am still a teen myself, but I want them to realize how much of an impact what they are doing has on others and on themselves both now…

Tweet Life had to be simpler. And easier to work on things like patience. When we didn’t have cell phones and e-mail and you couldn’t get ahold of someone it was ok. You just left a message or waited until they got home. Now if you can’t reach someone you get irritated, impatient, and in my case, mad at them. Is it really their fault that even though they are reachable through cell phone, e-mail, and phone that I can’t reach them? And why is it so important that I talk to them. Does it show my dependence on others? And my lack of dependence on God..YES. I want that…

Tweet I think about you often my fair-weathered friendI see your face all around me and I wonderCould I have done something different?Could I have changed your course of life?Where did you go?Why did you change what I loved about you?Was it too hard to live the upright life?Was it too difficult to follow the narrow path?Haunting is the thought Of where you have been and where you will goOf the consequences that might ariseAnd the pain you might carry foreverWill you change your course?Will you turn around? Can you give it all up?Can you come back to the narrow path?Or are you forever goneEntrenched in your waysAnd dug deep…

Tweet It was time for a change…after growing it out since September I decided I wanted to do something different. I get very bored with my hair so I went for something trendy..and I love it! It’s so different from anything I have ever done, but I like it..oh and I dyed my hair black:) But don’t worry..it’ll wash out…

Tweet I want to write, but the words aren’t coming today. There are so many thoughts swirling around in my head–I stayed up till 3 o’clock in the morning hashing them out..and I still haven’t come to any conclusions. And now I have to go back to work so I will write more later..

Tweet That’s where I want to go! I hate this idea of growing up and becoming a responsible adult. I want to stay a highschooler. I want to be able to mess up and blame it on my immaturity. I want to stay out till 2 in the morning and sleep in late. As much as I was looking forward to graduation-this has been a trying summer already. I got two jobs that forced me to grow up fast and become responsible. And honestly, I hate it. I have had to give up so many trips and times with friends cuz I had to work or I had to be…
