Let's live like we're alive.

HI!

I am alive and well and on my 6th week of school and I though I should let anyone and everyone out there know how I am doing. When someone asks me "How's school?" I really dont know how to respond. Goodish? thats not a word. Honestly, its draining. My heart breaks everyday seeing so many lost people, but I know God wants me there. It's been tough at times, but I still know God wants me there. I have friends...if I can call them that. They're girls from soccer who I knew who are nice. I sit with them at lunch everyday. I did track for a week, but I quit yesterday because it is just too much right now. I wasn't getting home until 5 o'clock and was way too tired to do anything at all. The school play of Beauty and the Beast is this weekend and I saw a teaser today. It was great. I wish I would have come to school earlier so that I could be in it; it looks so fun! My honors classes are great, I'm learning a lot. Other classes are pretty good, except interior design. You'd think I'd learn a lot in that class...right? Wrong. The teacher is an eccentric push over who lets the obnoxious girls do whatever. We pretty much sit and cut pictures out of magazines and glue them on paper like pre schoolers. anyway. Theres a girl who goes to my church and also goes to my school AND lives around the corner from me AND her boyfriend is my old best friends brother. WEIRD I know! I sit with her on the bus everyday. She makes me laugh. Hopefully we can become better friends. The other day I dressed like Nancy Drew (skort, flowery raincoat, etc.) and got some weird looks. It was funny. At lunch I've talked about God stuff a few times when they were talking about Lent and other times and I've worn DHT t shirts, Leeland T shirts, Bible verse T shirts. It's been interesting. There's really NO ONE like me at all that I've met so far. Fake religion pretty much. Ah well thats why I'm there.

PRAYER: That I would everyday be strengthened by the Spirit for school. That I would be a light. That I can make deeper friendships with people. That I can meet more new people because I kind of feel disconnected. That I would meet ONE REAL CHRISTIAN. And that I can share God's love with people.

I think I'll be posting more often.

Sorry this is so long and hard to read. I'm tired and have to leave for church soon.

Thanks for all your prayers!!!
