well… i hate the dentists office.. i hate going there.. i hate how i feel after.. i hate pain. and i have to go again today! i am NOT looking forward to this at all! my mouth hurts just thinking about it. when i was a kid i got balloons… a pretty toothbrush… toys.. stickers… now all i get is laughing gas.. shots.. and scripts to go get pain meds. NO FUN!

these past few days have been crazy! so much has happened and so much has hurt! im finally getting over it all though. God has been able to calm my temper, help me let go of some of the pain, and he has made me realize that its just a waste of time to continue being upset about the past. its over and done with, cant go back, no need to dwell on it. i have just learned so many lessons and am ready for God to completely heal me.

oh, and my amazing boyfriend has been there for me the whole time and stuck by my side. im so glad i have a bf who is my best friend and who will always be there for me. no matter what. thanks ken!

ken and i were going to the coffee shop the other day and he saw a bunch of birds in this field… i was not aware of how many there were, but im thinking ken had an idea! ken said "you think i should run into that field??" umm YES! DO IT DO IT! hahah and this is what happened! there were at least 20 BIRDS! (haha ken! you will be the only one who laughs probably) its times like these that just remind me of how happy i am with ken!! we have so much fun together… and we dont worry about what the other might think of our silly ways! its great!

for the past week or so i have been dealing with a lot! work sucks, stressed out, bills are due, money is low, gas sucks, and my family and the people at work seem to not understand what i do. you see, ken and i go mondays to The Garden (homeless shelter for women and children) which is a part of 7 bridges to recovery… wednesdays we go under the bridges of atlanta and feed and pray for the homeless. this is a VERY IMPORTANT part of my life! i love loving God by loving others. so many people think that i just do it to feel good about myself or to have something to do.. thats not it at all!! i do it because that is what we as Christ followers are SUPPOSED TO DO!! LOVE OTHERS! it makes me so angry and so hurt when people tell me that ill realize that somethings are just not as important as i think they are… that this is an important time in my life and i need to be doing other things like going to school again or working a better job… UMM NO! this IS what i should be doing.. and will be what i continue to do! i have really never been so hurt by other people before… this has bothered the junk out of me! i go under the bridges today and cant wait! maybe one day all of the people who have told me what i do is not important will realize what really IS IMPORTANT! that the prayer i have for them.

please pray for me.. this is all very hard on me.

thank you.

on sunday night we went to the lake side service at the sosebee lake. we had a great time and i loved taking pics of ken and tenn-man fishing! those kids are awesome! weatherly was a pro! she caught a fish and held a worm in her hand!!! they asked me to touch the worm and i poked it and screamed! weatherly just laughed!!! nikki didnt bring her camera so it gave me a chance to feel like a photographer! hahah i have to admit.. i get down on myself a lot about photography… and get shy… and think that no one will like my pictures.. but you know what?!?! WHO CARES! I LIKE MY PICTURES AND GOD GAVE ME TALENTS AND I NEED TO USE THEM! hey.. i might not be a professional but i enjoy it and thats all that matters! yay for me! confidence level—-> up 2 notches!
