Originally I made a disclaimer of no replies because the purpose of the thread is to a journal of thoughts. In addition, I didn't want this thread to get derailed, because i feel that this thread is important; it gets things off your chest. i don't want debates to happen here. i am conflicted because it is good to get feedback from others in regards to personal thoughts, struggles. I don't know. I just really don't want this thread to start discussing cats or whatever, when its purpose is to a place of reflection. I don't know right now. I really want it to stay the way it is.

I'm over-reacting. I know I am. But it's hard not to imagine the worst, because it seems like too much of a coincidence. If I think about it logically, then I know everything is fine, somebody would have called me otherwise. Wouldn't they? My family is horrible about phone calls...they don't happen unless someone is dying, or being born...and even then, most of the family is more likely to find out on facebook. Sick, yeah?
My husband is part of a search and rescue team here. He's at work, so just now when he got an automated call out, I answered instead and just listened.
Body recovery.
Off of a highway and in a popular camping/recreational area.
Yesterday, my mom and step-dad stopped by my house, on their way to go camping. In that area, off that highway.
Moments when your blood runs cold.
It's fine. It's probably fine, and I'll see them both on their way back through.

...when you think someone might've just died, it would be really great if said someone answered their phone immediately, instead of making you call four times...
Everything's alright. Well, with my family, anyway. Not so much for the family of whoever did die.
Now I feel like a jerk for feeling so relieved. *sigh*

I enjoy the site, though it seems the things I thought i could escape from on a Christian based forum are even more apparent than in most congregations I've been in. I like to believe that everyone is here to the same end, and yet there is no less anger or prejudices made plausible [AKA Criticism]. Funny that, we're all here to sharpen each other yet use the points against each other. Maybe I'd have less of a problem with it if it wasn't so common to interject opinion as fact.
Also, I wonder how long I would survive off nothing but pepperoni hotpockets... probably not very long at all.

Soooo I guess I won't call off doing praise and worship tonight. It'll be better for me to go out and have this thing called a social life as opposed to being cooped up and sorry for myself. I have barely done anything social wise this week. This typically isn't the case but this week I also wasn't feeling good. Emotionally I still don't feel the greatest but at least I physically feel better.
If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of
Then "cool" is just how far we have to fall
And I am not immune, I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall
Can I lose my need to impress?
If you want the truth I need to confess
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through, it leads me to You, it leads me to You

(About to leave for youth group. God, help me lead praise and worship. In Jesus' name, Amen.)

I'm grumpy. I'm tired and I only slept about two (accumulative) hours last night. And I have homework and I'm complaining which I'm sure all of you love reading. It's not at all annoying. I wanna stomp my foot and cross my arms and go down for a nap. Just like I used to when I was a kid. Then again, if I stay up I'll get silly, stupid tired. I'll post funny things and be in a general good mood. Sigh.
And I have homework. Dumb homework. Why can't God just download the information into my brain? Wouldn't that be nice? It could be like The Matrix. Or like what Wolfram and Hart did to Charles Gunn so he could become a lawyer.
My state is on fire. Some of the fires are far from me... some of them are close. There's nothing to worry about in my area, but I feel for those who are being evacuated. My cousin and his 3 kids live around the fire zone down in SoCal. I hope they're okay. The kids are young and probably scared. My cousin and his wife are probably scared too.
I'm not a Republican. Am I still allowed to be apart of this site? I hope so. I like all of you a lot.
mhmm. stuff and things.

I actually like when the fire is close enough that the helicopters fly right overhead and I can see the flames flickering at night. It was like that back in 2007 I think. At night it was like seeing the apocalypse as this distant mountainside burned with bright orange flames lighting up the billowing cloud of smoke above it. Ok yea its not good for those who have to evacuate though.

I'm glad I went to youth group instead of staying home and feeling sorry for myself. This week went SO MUCH better compared to last week. Last week there was only 6 kids at youth so we skipped worship altogether which made me really bummed out. So I was discouraged that maybe this week would be the same.
Plus...it's good to forget about everything else that's going on and to just focus on other things.
