Friends lately.

Friend 1 - A new friend makes me feel used and cast aside like i'm nothing afterwards. But i'm somehow the bad guy.
Friend 2 - Despite knowing me a long time and knowing i think highly of them, they interpreted everything i said in an email in the worst ways, and continue to do so despite my trying to explain they are misunderstanding.
Friend 3 - We came to an agreement that we should not talk on a regular basis, but were still on friendly terms. Yet months after not talking i send one email, that just had something funny in it and nothing more, and was regarded with in what felt like suspicion and accusation.

These are the kinds of things i so often deal with. Sometimes i wonder why i waste my time with people at all. If i'm not being used by 'friends' then they will find some way to think poorly of me no matter what i do.
There's a chance that maybe friend 3 was just a little thrown off by suddenly hearing from someone they didn't expect to hear from. Just because they might've been surprised doesn't have to mean they were suspicious of your motives.

Oh no! dont come near me I cant get sick:b jk I never get sick idk why. My family got sick almost 24/7 I mean they were hacking without covering their mouths they had stuffy and runny noses had fevers ect. but for some reason I just dont get sick which is wierd because i was told I had a low immune system from the cancer but evidently not. I wish I could help you get better. I cant begin to tell you how I wished I had the gift of healing for the longest time. just yesterday at the volunteer place I was helping a women get food but she was feeling horrible she said she has major blood pressure issues and was so dizzy and not feeling well. that was one of the moments when I thought why cant i just touch her and heal her

You know how you sign up for email updates with certain companies and they find yourself wading through a slew of crazy advertising?

I just opened my email to find a message with the heading "Spirit Deals!" and I was a little freaked out for a moment. I thought Groupon was sending me offers for discount seances or something, and to tell you the truth, ANYTHING having to deal with the occult really freaks me out. I deleted the message immediately.

And then came to realize... I had just signed up to receive updates from SPIRIT AIRLINES, and this, (not the great and scary beyond of some cult) was the actual source of the message.

D'oh! Have I ever mentioned, I'm not the brightest bulb in the bunch...

Yeah, I'm starting to unsubscribe to lots of different e-mails now. Especially animal care things. Since Mocha requires a very specific diet, I have to order his food online. I get soooo much stuff...

But lol. The occult is scary stuff, I don't blame you for being startled like that. XD I think I would have raised an eyebrow and I'm more curious than afraid, so I would have clicked on it and see, oh. It's an AIRLINE company... >.<

Well, I am on your side. What business does an airline have to do with Spirits? Unless they want to....

No, let's not go there....

I've been on a psychological thriller binge for the last week or so. Before that, I read the entire Divergent series in less than three days, and I think that Could have been a really good story (albeit written for teens), but it fell really flat for me in the last book. So, this past week- Gillian Flynn books; Gone Girl, Sharp Objects, Dark Places. Watched the movie of Gone Girl and was fairly disappointed, but then, it's hard to translate that kind of writing into film and Not leave out much of what makes the story captivating. Anyway, this morning, onto a book called The Girl on the Train...memorization of the author's name to follow only if the book turns out to be good.

I should stop devouring books. It's getting expensive. Maybe I'll plant flowers today instead.

In the next 3 hours I'll have to leave for praise and worship practice. I might sleep for these next few hours.

Greater is He that is in us... Recently a missionary came through our church. Forget where he was a missionary to, but he was telling about looking for land for a church building over there. There was only one spot of land available in town, and it was really cheap, but nobody wanted it because it had a grove of trees where the local witch doctors met. No problem, we know someone stronger.

We of the UPCI got the land for next to nothing, and the devil held it for us until we got there! :cool:

Same here. I'm sick. And I'm leaving soon on a three hour road trip to set up for a festival and paint all day tomorrow, possibly in the rain.

Power through! We can. do. this.

:) Thankfully I haven't felt tired or fatigued! But running towards a tissue box every 30 minutes plus me doing a 1-2 hour night of worship equals I might have to take the youth pastor's advice and wear a bandanna over my face tonight. :p

But...I can do all things through Christ. haha I can and WILL do this. I've been so excited for this night there's no turning back for me!!
