Calling all Christians!!
I usually try to steer from preaching here on my blog, even though God has blessed me with the gift of gag that I use to serve Him, but this has just been on my heart for quite some time.
My church bible study group has been studying Ezekiel 13 for the past 2 weeks and we are going to continue it until it is over. We aren't setting a specific time period for this b/c we want to discuss and get all questions answered.
Chapter 13 of Ezekiel discusses false prophesies and walls being broken down. When you read this chaper of Ezekiel, think of Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans and what New Orleans is known for.
I will post more later and leave me some comments on what you guys think!

I'm SO excited!
I don't think I have ever cared more about my dad and his job. My dad went yesterday for a job interview in West Virginia. OMG! It went extremely well. I could have fainted when mom and dad told me that it went great and that they had a really good feeling about this. This would mean that I could get in-state tuition at the school that I really want to go to. Plus, instead of going to JCC here in NC next semester, I would go to MECC, a local community college near Pound, Virginia. I have mentioned this in passing to mom, but I mentioned it way before the interview took place. I just mentioned when dad first applied for the job.
I called and told Stacey the potentially great news and I don't think I have ever heard him so exited about something when it came to me and him. *sigh* I have gotten on my knees and prayed so hard for this to come true. I know that it will only happen if it is God's Will, but I really hope that this will work out and Dad gets that job. I have never seen dad so nervous over a job interview, or anything, actually.
Well, I'm gonna get off here and try to get some things done around the house!

What an odd last couple of days!
The last couple of days have been odd. I have some reasons as to why they have been weird, but somethings just are unexplainable. I went out to see a play put on by the local theatre on Saturday. I saw "The Foreigner" and it was awesome. My sister's-in-law brother (does that make him my brother-in-law? lol) was in it and he invited me to go the cast party afterwards. I decided to go and enjoy the night. Well, I did have fun, but at the end of the night, he asked me out on a date. I said yes, but I really am not feeling him. I know that I haven't given him a true chance, but I don't want to give him a chance. Matthew McConaughey, who I think is hot and I could watch his movies for hours and hours and listen to him talk for hours and hours b/c he has that Texas accent, but he could come up to me right now and ask me to go out on a date with him or marry him, and I would say no b/c I'm not into dating anyone right now except for one person. I know that that one person has a girlfriend, but I will wait on him for forever. We have a friendship that will last a lifetime, and maybe that will grow into a relationship, and I can't risk losing that over a single date with a guy that I'm not into.
I've asked some people their opinions on if I should go out on this one date with this guy. Well, I'm getting both answers. One person says that I'm leading him on by going out on this date, and even saying yes. And another person says that I should go out on one date with him and just let him know I just wanna be friends that way family can see that I gave him a chance. But I don't wanna give him a chance!!! I'm in love with someone and he lives in Virginia.
Well, I will stop blabbing on and on about my problems and I'm gonna go grab something to eat and then do Pilates!

It seems like eternity away!!
I get to leave to go to Pound in 10 days! In one way, it seems like it isn't that far away, but in another way, it seems like eternity away! I'm so funny, too. I even have the days counted down on each day in my daily planner. I know, I know, I'm a weirdo! lol...
I can't wait to see Stacey! There were somethings that went on this weekend that made me realize how much I do love him. I won't go into detail, but let's just say that I love Stacey with all my heart and soul!
Well, I have a bible study class to go to soon, so I'm gonna head outta here!
*~*God Bless*~*
I can only go up from here....
Well...I've been having a bad week. I usually have a bad week the week after I get back from Pound. I've been so down, so low, so that means that I can go up from here. I honestly don't see how things could get any lower for me. But then again, everytime I say that, it always gets worse.I got to talk to Stacey the other night for a LONG time. He was pretty upset. We were talking on the phone and hadn't been on there not even 10 minutes and his sister, who doesn't live there anymore, comes in and says that she needs the phone, after she's already been on there for 3 hours. Well, Stacey told her that she could wait til we got off the phone, and she didn't like that. So, she went and got their dad and he mad him get off the phone. So, he walked over to his brother's house and I called him there. He was so upset and pissed off. He said that he was tired of living his life as a fake and living for other people, when he just wants to live his life for himself. He started crying and that was the first time that I have heard him cry and it just broke my heart to hear him so upset and I wasn't there to be with him. Today marks the 2 week period until I get to see Stacey again. YAY! I will get to spend an ENTIRE week with him. I love him so much. It's amazing how much our relationship has grown and how close we are. I never thought that I could be so close and connected to someone!!!! It just amazes me. I thank God everyday for putting Stacey in my life b/c I don't know where we both would be if it weren't for each other. Well, I'm gonna go . I'm gonna try to get some sleep before I go to class!*~*Holly*~*
What a great weekend!
Well, I'm back in NC! I'm sad b/c I didn't want to leave, but then again, I never want to leave. But the weekend was great. I went to the football game on Friday at Pound. It was their Homecoming. They lost, which made me sad. But the game was really good. There were good plays. The other school brought their band and they were a decent size. They probably had about 60 total members, including horns, drumline, and color guard.Stacey didn't get to come over to my house after the game on Friday. But we got up really, REALLY early and went to breakfast on Saturday. I was at his house at 7 in the MORNING!!! That meant that I got up at 6. We went to breakfast and then went to the school for band practice from 8 until 12. Stacey and I work with the color guard and wrote flag work for Play That Funky Music. Then he went back to my house and we hung out there working more with the flags. His mom called and said that he needed to come home so he could help clean the outside of the house. So, I went with him so I could help. I ended up twisting my ankle and I think I might have sprained my ankle, I just hope that I didn't tear any ligaments.
After we were done washing the outside of the house, we went to the tennis courts and played with his friend, Dave. So, that wasn't good for my ankle. But, oh, well. Then I got up yesterday and went over to Stacey's to pick him up and we went back to the house to work more on the flag work. He helped me pack my stuff up and pack in the car. So, I took him back to his house and left from his house to come back to NC. I made really good time when I was on the way home. I made it home in 5 1/2 hours. I talked on the phone pretty much the whole way. I talked on the phone with my sister, my cuz (La), and Stacey! Well, I'm gonna get off here and try to get some rest. I didn't get home until 11:30 and didn't go to sleep until about 1:30. So, I'm gonna try to get some sleep before class!*~*God Bless*~*
It's been a while!
Wow....it's been over a week! And guess what!! I'm going back to Virginia this weekend! YAY!! The only thing that I need to is clean my room...ICK! I'm working on it now, well, not RIGHT NOW, but I'm taking a break. It's actually starting to look pretty good.
I got to talk to Stacey this evening! Well, actually, I've gotten to talk to him every night for the past 5 days or so, if not longer! He was doing ok, he was working on Chemistry homework. He asked me what I was doing and I told him cleaning my room and he said that he would rather be cleaning than doing homework. I told him that if I didn't clean it then I couldn't come in. He automatically said, "CLEAN IT NOW!" LOL! It was funny.
I really miss him. I have never felt this before. I know that I have my lil' crushes and thought that it was love, but now that I know what love is, it wasn't love. What I feel for Stacey is love! I might be wasting my time and we might not end up together in the end, but even if we don't, I will still have gained the "bestest" friend I could have ever asked for. Everything that I have gone through with Stacey this summer has just made me a stronger person b/c of it!
God doesn't put us (us being Christians) through anything that we can't handle and He also doesn't put us through things just b/c he can, He has reasoning. I've just now realized this in the past couple of days, and I'm glad. God is so AMAZING! I was really upset with God when I had to come back to NC and attend college here, but now I can see that he has a plan. I don't know the plan yet, but I do know that part of that plan is to get me closer to him and become a stronger person through the situation!
Well, I'm gonna go so I can clean up a lil' more before I go to bed!*~*God Bless*~*
Back in NC once again!
Well..I made it back to NC in one piece...all safe and sound. The trip so horrid...it was long and the further I got from Pound, the more my heart ached. I even call that home now...and I only lived there for 2 months...but there were so many bonds that were made and I don't have that here in NC with my parents. Don't get me wrong, I am close to my parents and brother that are here....but it's so much different with the people in Pound.
I didn't get to officially say bye to Stacey today, which made leaving even harder. I think I cried the whole way to Abbingdon, which an hour from Pound. And then I cried some more on the way back here when I would start to think about the great times that I had this weekend and how much closer that me and Stacey got this weekend. I know that we can still talk on the phone, but it's not the same as laying out on the sidewalk and looking up at the stars or just sitting outside at 9 at night talking. But I had an idea for the next time we talk...I'm gonna tell him to go outside and look up at that stars and find the Big Dipper or Orians Belt (or however you spell it) and I will find the same one that he's looking at and we will be looking up at the same star at the same time with us 350 miles away from each other. I know, it sounds sorta cheesy and corny, but I think it will be cool and romanitc!
Well, I have some homework that I can start on..nothing that NEEDS done, just things that I could get a head start on!
*~*God Bless*~*HollyP.S. Letti....yes..I am flowing with more and more joy each and every day! Even though I'm not happy that I'm here in NC away from Stacey, I know that this is going to make us stronger in the end!!! I couldn't be filled with more joy....that is unless I move to Pound! lol...
It's been a lil' while!
I've been so busy. I have had homework, church, and then I had to pack and clean on Thrusday night so I could come here (Pound). I didn't get to sleep on Thursday night until 2am or a lil after, and then I had to get up at 6 so I could pack my car and go to class.
Well, when I got out of class I was waiting around for Brandy and I was going to put make up on, but before I could completely turn around to grab my bag, I realized that I had forgetten it at home. So, I called mom and she brought it to me and then I went to breakfast with Brandy. I left Garner around 10 b/c I had to stop at Best Buy before I left.
When I got to Wise, I called Stacey and I went straight to his house to see him and then I took back to my house in Pound and we hung out til we had to go to the school so we could leave for the football game. I had such a great time at the football game.
Then on Saturday, I spent the whole day with him. We went to Wal Mart and grabed soemthing to eat and then we went back to the school for conducting tryouts. After that, we came back home and just hung out. Me and Stacey talked so much last night, I told him so much. I know that we have talked alot and told each other so much, but last night we talked about so much more that I ever thought could be said. We talked about us, we talked about hour families, we talked about band stuff...we just talked. Then we went to the dam before I took him home. We sat out and looked up at the stars. I have never layed out and talked to someone and look up at the stars. It was so beautiful. I have never seen the stars like that....the beauty was just breath taking.
Well...I think I'm gonna go so I can get somethings done. I guess I'll update later!!
