alright, Valentine's Day..

We all know the feeling.. waiting for him to call. You try so hard to look pretty, and to be funny, and do the things he likes. 


Are you waiting for him to be someone he's not?
Do you wish he would always be there for you and always ask how your day was, and always hold you when you cry, and never ditch you for his friends (or another girl)? Eh. 


Don't you wish he would get jealous when he sees you with another guy? And fight 'till the death to win you over?


Guess who already did that.

JESUS. 


He's crying because you're crying. He wishes so badly that you'd realize He's waiting for you to forget about Nick, Joe, Ryan, Levi, Troy, Aaron, Clay, Alex, Connor, Sean, Chris, Trevor, Tyler and realize that they will NEVER love you like He does..




and on Valentine's Day, when you're wishing you would've gotten roses, or a card, or someone would've kissed you..


LOOK AROUND.


God gave you FIELDS of roses, He gave you the most perfect man to fall in love with. He will never let you down, He will never ignore you when you call him, He will never leave you for someone else, He laid down His life for you, JUST IN CASE you decided you wanted to fall in love with Him too. 


He's so jealous of the boys in your life that get all your attention, He's pulling you in so desperately, just waiting for you to turn and see Him waiting with His arms open so He can just hold you.
RUN TO HIM. HE LOVES YOU. 

well, track.

Reasons to do track?

To get a tan.

To meet people.

YUP.

Well, thats over.

So my morning.. was ridiculous. God does things to make me laugh. 

I tried to pull out into traffic and ... that was a no-go.

Then my gas light came on. But you have to have money for gas. So I went to the bank, bank's closed. So I figured by the time I got over to Richland, that one would be open. I deposited a check and 20 dollars cash.. .and asked for 70 in cash.. I forgot to give them my I.D. so that took a whole 'nother "send the little thing through the tube thing" to get it to me and then I gave them my I.D. and realized... I could've kept the 20 and asked for 50.. they probably think I'm an idiot. 

So I go to the gas station and give him 70 for pump 6.

The pump stops at $50.00

Connie: The pump stopped at 50, but I gave you 70. 

Indian guy I couldn't understand: what? you give me two twenties and two fives. 

Connie: no, I gave you 3 twenties and 2 fives. 

Guy: oh, okay, here you go. (hands me a twenty.)

I walk away thinking " why didn't you just give me 20 dollars more in gas?" but I'm not going to take the time to explain it to him. 

JOSH MAIER COMES HOME THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!

(;

I'm so excited to have found my long lost husband. 

I got married when I was four to the boy who lived next door to me in Yakima. 

We used to make salad with his mom's plants, she didn't like it very much.

But she still gave me colored marshmallows in my hot chocolate.

Then I moved here. 

Then I found him on facebook last night.

I'm going to Yakima on Saturday.. I'm so freakin excited. haha its been 11 years. 

I just got a facebook event invite for 11/11/11 at 11:11:11.. .well yess.. naturally, i will be there.. ? hahaha. i like it. 

last night, Amber and I got lost. We drove so far out of El Pasco, there was no cell reception. We were at "Selph Landing" it was nice. 

My new found love is Trevor Hall. 

Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.  What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, and lose their soul?

Its hard to remember that we don't need cell phones, clothes, a house, or a family. God will provide everything we need. If we are made up of the things in the world, we will surely lose our soul. We have to be world-less in order to fully fall in love with Jesus. 

Thought for this week: Be intimate with Jesus. Be open with him, be naked in front of him so that there is nothing between you and him, tell him honestly everything in your life. Give up everything to him.
