A Letter from Me.


 Dear friend,

     Hey! How's it going? I've heard life's a bit rough for you right now. Not that you've told me, but through a mutual close friend informed me. Don't blame that person! This letter has all the best intentions.

    You see, I've heard times are a bit tough, and this is probably the only chance I have to get your attention. You see, you don't really talk to me that much. I wish you would. I want to be your friend, but it seems you'd rather not be mine. That makes me a bit sad. I think you need some cheering up cause you seem a bit down in the mouth. 

     You wanna know a secret? Here it goes; your family really loves you dear one. Even if you don't feel it, you are still being a role model and an example to them. That's right, even if you think they really don't appreciate you, they are imitating you. You might not see it, but I do.

     I also see you making a few choices that make me sad. You might not realize I have made similar choices, but thanks be to God I discovered how my choices were affecting my life, and I changed. But only with His help. 

     I don't really think you'll read this at all or even care what I think. I may be very opinionated at times about what other people should or should not do, based on my personal convictions. I have starting trying to not be so much, and especially to you. Sorry if I have hurt you with my words or actions sometime in the past. I am going to start loving and respecting you as God wants me to. There is no try. You might make it hard for me, but I really do want to be your friend. Okay? Please let me be.

     Here's another thing; I also hear you don't think you have a lot of friends. I hate to be harsh, but maybe that's somewhat your fault? You aren't the warmest and most accepting person. But that's just me talking. But you know what? As you draw closer to God you'll become a better and more perfected person. I know, I know, it's tough to have a close daily personal walk with God. But I don't think it should be. Yeah, I struggle with that. It seems like it should be so easy... Cause Jesus is suppose to be your best friend and all. But it's so stinkin' hard at times and I understand that. 

     I understand more than you realize. I want to be your friend. I really do! Please don't hate on me for writing this. It's out of love that I tell you these things. I want to help. It makes me sad when other people are sad and alone, and I wish to make people happy cheerful. I don't think God intended us to be sad. Yeah, life isn't always a beautiful wonderland, but we're not suppose to just sit in the mud-puddle we slipped into! God longs to help you up and wash you off. If only you would let Him. Hey, if you're tired from falling in the puddle and slipping back in, He'll even carry you if you want!!!

     See, that's the cool thing about God. He likes to help you! He really wants you to cry to Him. Tell Him all about your problems.Yeah, now would be a great time to pull out the good old cliche that you need to find your identity in God, and not the people you hang out with... Another area of struggle for me. It is important! But that's not what I'm here to tell you this time.

     So how about we challenge each other? See who can live the brightest for God. Not to boast for ourselves, but that we can boast in God. "So that, as it is written, 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'"(1 Cor. 1:31). Here's my challenge for you today. Go find one person who seems lonely, and then befriend them! I believe dear Mark Twain had a good point when he said, "the best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer someone else up.". So go out there today. Make a friend. Tell me about it! I'd love to listen to you! Just so you know people really do care for you. Even if they don't show it and you won't accept it. Well, I have a thing for being different, so I want to be the one who shows it. Show that I'm not afraid to let myself get bruised. But I have nothing to prove. You don't have to prove anything to anyone either. But could you try? Do it for the one you love. Do it for me. Do it for yourself. But most of all, do it for God.

     With God's love,
        Little ol' me

Christie.

     Hello folks! It's been a bit since I've popped on here. My apologies. I have been particularly busy of the late. And this post is a leeetle explanation of why. It has been given the name of "Christie", based on the book "Work, a Story of Experience".      It started on August 19 with auditions. We were given our parts on that nerve-filled afternoon. My dear Maria was given the lead. Soon after, practice started. We started off ever so slowly even with two practices a week. We came to a conclusion about a month ago that we indeed were too slow. Therefore two extra practices from nine to eleven p.m. were added for each remaining week. Well, we made it through the entire script! But the true question was, would we be able to maintain our sanity and pull this thing off? We had our first run-through this past Sunday. It was a crash and burn, and gave us the kick in the butt we needed.      You need to understand something about this play. There are about

Musing of a Younger Me.

     Death can be a cruel monster, or it can be a darling lamb. Why would it viciously claim the life of a beautiful twelve year old girl, or a charming nine year old boy? But yet Grandma accepted it willingly, with grace and beauty.      God called them all by name to Him, and lets us ask questions. Now, don't get me wrong, I love God and don't wish to doubt His judgement. But I do wonder, why do beautiful children have to die in painful ways? What about the families? And friends? They are all just left to grieve and remember. To adjust and ponder. To question, "God, why?"     We don't know the answers right now. We may someday know, or not till we reach heaven. But God has a beautiful reply for each question we ask. And finally, when we reach heaven, we will see the beautiful part of the picture. We will smile and tell God, "I love you. Thank you for Your comfort, and thank you for never leaving me."     *And thus ends the short musings of my you

Greetings.

      Hey you! Welcome to my unpretentious blog. I've wanted to start a blog for a bit. You know, like an online journal. Except everyone can read this!!! EEEK! If you dare to venture back here again someday you may find a various assortment of ramblings, thoughts, and the many other things that happen in my life and head. I'm not planning to have a rigid schedule, at all, like, no plans whatsoever. So I guess we'll see how often I post. But for now I will bid you adieu.
