My sis and I

Wow, I haven't updated since November. I need to step up my blogging game.

So! What's new? Well, I'm a senior in high school (well that's not new), and I'm pretty much over J! lol, what a transition. He still comes into my mind every now and again though. Like, Monday coming, we would have made a year. I'm def. calling to wish his mom happy birthday xD Like really though, her birthday is Feb. 1st.

Anyway, he'll get a journal entry devoted to him on Monday x). This entry has to do with me and my sis.

So, last week Tues. or Wednesday, I said something really mean to my sis. We were watching Teen Moms on MTV or some channel like that and she was like "I could not have a child." Then I unnecessarily said, "Yeah, 'cause you still are a child." Then, even more unnecessarily, I was like "I was looking at Mr. Alfano and he's 30 and he has a wife a kid and he's a music teacher." I put 3 fingers up for the three things he was, and then put them down to signify that she did not have those things. That was so evil. I can't believe I did that.

Anyway, ever since then, we haven't really spoken. She said she forgave me, what I said is true. But what she's doing is basing her value and worth on what society says, not what God says. She doesn't think she's beautiful and I she ranks me above her. I mean it sucks because I look up to her and she's falling in my eyes. I swear, even though she's in the place where she is now, financially and stuff, if she had as much respect for herself as a lawyer does, I would look up to her so much more. It takes a strong person to hold their head up high when they are at a low point. I pray that God will open her eyes everyday. If she keeps up like this, we will surely grow distant. Please pray for her healing and the healing of our relationship.

Some Thoughts...

Uhm. So there are a lot of things on my mind.
One, I am confused about church. My home church. When I go to church, I am miserable. All I can think about is how different I wish it was. Like, praise and worship is so dead and rushed and hymns are the thing. I'm cool with hymns, but can we have some contemporary music in there too? Something I can actually relate too? And then during the messages, I'm planning how we can make the service more meaningful and exciting, etc. Everything is just so dead. So I go there miserable and leave miserable. Like, I couldn't go there today. I stayed home. I should be at church right now. And it sucks because I've been going there all my life and I've grown so much spiritually in the past 6 months from going to other churches than I have from going to my own church. Like, the other churches I go to have been "supplements." But I really feel that I should not be taking so many supplements! I am so on fire for God and I don't have a home church where that fire can be channeled in pratical ways. Jesus help! I don't want to leave Grace (my home church) because so many people have left and I don't want to be another one who just gave up. Loyalty is important. But should I be sacrificing my spirituality for it? I feel so helpless. Jesus, light a fire in me! A fire to change, or I don't know, a fire to light a fire in others! To not give up on my church home. A fire to communicate to your people how immense the love of Christ is! Seriously, please give me the strength to hang on. Because it is REALLY difficult. And may I continually seek you when it comes to Grace. May the worship begin before I get to church so it won't be so painful to sit there. May I seek to give and not get. Help me Lord! Remind me of the truths that you put in my heart. I don't feel you pulling me away from Grace. I am grateful that you are nuturing me spiritually, thank You. And please give me the strength and help me make the sacrifice to read Your Word. *sigh* Amen.

S'more Boy Talk ^___-'''

So, I like this guy, don't know if he likes me, don't know if I'm reading to much into it. I don't know if I like him, am I making myself like him because he's a good guy? Or am I being picky about the wrong things? Like, there's an attraction, and it was small, but now I find myself thinking about him all the time, and I don't know if it's 'cause I like him or because I like having someone around who thinks I'm cool. I really appreciate the flattery. But am I reading too much into things? Maybe he really doesn't like me as much as he appears to like me. Ugh! Gina told me to not to think about boys, but it's hard. And Dylan (that's his name) is too cool. Like, he's not a jerk. And really not a jerk. I'm getting better and better at picking guys. But it's not even like he's mine or that I like him! UGH!!!!
He's really sweet though. Like, he would not let me walk home alone from school yesterday. Would NOT. And he's concerned about what's going on in my head and he's considers me a close friend already. Haven't even known this dude for a month yet. But I get a Sandino vibe from him. And that's BIG. I hold Sandino in high esteem. If I deem you a Sandino, you are an awesome man. But that's just the vibe I get, it's not definite yet. Only thing is, I don't know if he's a Christian. But you know, if he isn't I wouldn't mind. Like, I'd just pray for him constantly and hope that my influence would bring him to God. That is all I could do anyway. Man, he's cute, but I could see him being annoying, he's considerate and he cares and you know, though he might be annoying ain't that better than a jerk who seems to care and throws around the love word and breaks girls' hearts as often as he changes his shoes? Pshah, most def! But I believe that I'm getting way too ahead of myself. Betting to assume that he doesn't like me that way than to hype everything up and find out that I was wrong. Geez, that would SUCK. So I'm gonna do what Gina says and not even think about dudes. I will try my best. One thing's for sure, I would def. love D to be my prom date. No question about that. You know he waits for me by Pre-Cal and walks with me part way to class? I think that is so awesome and sweet.

ARGH! ENOUGH JANELL. NO MORE TALKS OF BOYS (dunt dunt dunt).

God, what've You got in store? This'll be an interesting ride. Please help me to keep my eyes on YOU ONLY, please! Amen.

Ugh...

Ugh! I feel like a bad person. My motives are wrong, I make no sense and I want to fix everybody. I just need to step back and let things take their course. You know when you do things unintentionally? Well, I did that today. I def. was bad-mouthing J and K's new relationship today. Of course it got back to him. He heard that I said his relationship won't go past a month. Whoops. I mean, I still believe it, but I guess it didn't have to be vocalized? I dunno. Anyway, I called him a little while ago to apologize, but he didn't pick up. So now this is gonna be on my conscience. Whatever. GOD! I need You. I don't want to think. Just take control, PLEASE. Give me that peace that surpasses all understanding. I don't deserve it, but I am relying on Your grace, Your favor. Lift the stress from my mind; none of this will matter in the end. It's all about Heaven and the deliverance from this crappy world.

Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, again I say REJOICE! (Philippians 4:4)

Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Lord, forgive me of my sins. I took part in the gossip/slander of another person and I know that hurts You and I'm sorry. I pray that it will not be a mistake I make again. I also pray that I won't stress over anything. I can't add a day to my life by worrying and I have bigger things to take care of (i.e. college). Lord, give me the courage and strength to apologize and to do the right thing. Speak to me Lord, speak to me. Amen.

11:08pm Darren

11:09pm Janell
Yes sir

blaze25629 (11:09:22 PM): so ur answer

Hinote Alchemist (11:09:36 PM): Okay, the DeShana situation I don't even know much about

Hinote Alchemist (11:09:36 PM): Okay, the DeShana situation I don't even know much
about

Hinote Alchemist (11:09:43 PM): only bits and pieces

Hinote Alchemist (11:09:55 PM): but from what I heard, J is in the wrong

Hinote Alchemist (11:10:02 PM): But I don't know his side of the story

blaze25629 (11:11:02 PM): well mabe u should talk 2 j

Hinote Alchemist (11:12:38 PM): I plan to, we just need to set a time

Hinote Alchemist (11:12:57 PM): I was gonna go to him 2morrow and ask him if he wants to do movies on Sat.

blaze25629 (11:13:36 PM): but?

Hinote Alchemist (11:14:00 PM): Oh, nothing, I'm still doing it. You guys got plans for this Sat.?

blaze25629 (11:15:31 PM): well he told me that he was going 2 flc

Hinote Alchemist (11:16:12 PM): That's Sat?

blaze25629 (11:16:25 PM): yea the 24th

Hinote Alchemist (11:16:41 PM): I'll ask anyway.

Hinote Alchemist (11:16:52 PM): I'm just upset 'cause I feel that J makes the same mistakes over again and they are SO obvious to me, but he doesn't see them.

Hinote Alchemist (11:17:03 PM): I'm just hoping really hard that when I talk to him, I find out that everything he's done was unintentional and that he was trying to hurt anybody.

Hinote Alchemist (11:17:18 PM): That he was completely oblivious and didn't know what he was doing.

blaze25629 (11:19:48 PM): well the only way u will no is if u talk 2 him

Hinote Alchemist (11:21:38 PM): I know. I have no objection. I am rearing to go. I just need to have a block of time, 'cause the conversation won't be short.

Hinote Alchemist (11:21:48 PM): Favor

blaze25629 (11:22:05 PM): 'yes

Hinote Alchemist (11:26:31 PM): Last time I wanted to talk to him, I didn't because he didn't cooperate. Like, I'd be like "Let's talk" and he'd say "Okay" and then when the time came, he'd leave and not tell and completely avoid me.

Hinote Alchemist (11:27:06 PM): So, in order for it to work this time, maybe you could encourage to talk to me. He needs to hear what I have to say.

blaze25629 (11:33:10 PM): sure

Hinote Alchemist (11:37:20 PM): Gracias.

Hinote Alchemist (11:39:10 PM): Gragh, how do you deal with J. Like, does he eveer annoy you?

blaze25629 (11:42:09 PM): well yea sometimes but its iight kuz i no he has my back

Hinote Alchemist (11:45:54 PM): Cool. Glad he cares about somebody x)

blaze25629 (11:46:17 PM): yea so what do u think of him?

Hinote Alchemist (11:49:09 PM): Umph! That's a tough one

Hinote Alchemist (11:49:12 PM): Give me a sec.

Hinote Alchemist (11:53:01 PM): I have mixed feelings. Like, I used to think he was truly awesome and a rarity, that you couldn't find many guys like him 'cause he cared about people. But then his actions contradicted that thought and I just though he was a jerk. But now, I just think he's confused. Like, he means to do well but he doesn't. I think part of the reason is 'cause he's selfish too.

Hinote Alchemist (11:54:24 PM): All in all though, I don't think he is a terrible person. He just doesn't know what he's doing. And I insult him sometimes and cut and make side comments, but truthfully I love that guy to death. He's a jerk, but I love him to death.

Hinote Alchemist (11:55:00 PM): I don't know why I care so much and it annoys the HELL out of me but I do. Oh well -_-

blaze25629 (11:56:12 PM): janell mabe u should ease ur horses before u make a judgement

blaze25629 (11:57:16 PM): remember u cant answer a question if halve of it is undone

Hinote Alchemist (11:59:59 PM): Yeah well I'm going based on observation and experience and things he's told me. I mean, I'm not saying he does things purposefully, I actually think he doesn't. There's a reason for what he does, for everything he does.

Hinote Alchemist (12:00:12 AM): Like the whole have a ton a girlfriends thing

blaze25629 (12:00:22 AM): wait janell question

Hinote Alchemist (12:00:37 AM): Yeah?

blaze25629 (12:01:00 AM): take out the whole deshana situation what do u think of him?

Hinote Alchemist (12:02:54 AM): I did take out the whole DeShana situation. I wasn't even thinking about that.I don't know the whole story. I've been wanting to talk to him since before that.

blaze25629 (12:03:23 AM): regarding ur relationship?

Hinote Alchemist (12:05:40 AM): Not just that, but that's a part of it. After the relationship is when I realized the stuff I just mentioned, but our relationship is not the only thing I'm drawing my points from. Get me?

blaze25629 (12:06:33 AM): o ok

blaze25629 (12:07:56 AM): i understand u and i guess ill explain 2 j how important this is 2 u and hopefully ya guys could talk about this

Hinote Alchemist (12:08:18 AM): Thank you so much D.

Hinote Alchemist (12:08:33 AM): I don't think I've ever told you how much I appreciate you.

Hinote Alchemist (12:09:15 AM): Like, when I was depressed and upset and crappy and sad and just a huge mess ball of emotions, you really helped me out.

blaze25629 (12:09:48 AM): im happy 2 help u i honestly am

Hinote Alchemist (12:10:07 AM): Like, I didn't feel like complete crap. It was comforting to know that someone still cared, especially you when you didm't have, seeing that you're J's best friend.

Hinote Alchemist (12:10:29 AM): Gratz! I feel the tears coming, but I won't let them out xD

Hinote Alchemist (12:12:48 AM): Oh my gosh

Hinote Alchemist (12:12:53 AM): Man

blaze25629 (12:13:03 AM): well janell its common curticy 2 help someone out when they r in a bind u no

Hinote Alchemist (12:13:30 AM): lol! I'm glad you have that philosophy. 'Cause a lot of people don't.

blaze25629 (12:16:41 AM): anyway ill ttyl k peace need 2 take my asthma meds
