Unfathomed

Why does no one answer me???

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Okay, just had to get that out. It's been a crazy day already. A whole four hours of work ended up wiping me out for the day. Hah. It only takes one person to call in sick and the whole place goes into choas! Nellie asked me to stay till 6, and then I said I could only stay till 4, then she let me go at 2, which was when I was originally off in the first place. =P I've been really stressed out, very happy, and worried all in a huge range of intervals all morning. Now I can't get a hold of anyone to see what's happening. Apparently Sarah's at Jessica's , but there was no answer at the Reaman house. So I called Dara, and no answer there either. Then I called Sarah's house. No answer. Geez. I just hope I'm not missing everyone and they're doing the project without me. Bad that would be, yes. What am I to do? Call again soon. And hope someone knows something. Gah.

Well. Edmonton was great, and I spent a heck of a lot of money. But I was expecting to. And rides and walking and mini golf and Curious George... it was all kind of jumbled, and me and Dara were just beyond tired the second day. But we made bears at Build-A-Bear! Yey, that was fun. ^__^ Julius is so cute!
I wonder if Dara has talked to Brittney yet....
I will be praying for that situation, and I hope it works out.

Hmmmmm.... Dara has once again shown me a good band. That would be Yellowcard. They're pretty fun, and I've decided that I like them. Between them and the Killers, I officially have a connection to the bad bad world of secular music. -GASP- how dare I? I dare. Because not all 'non-christian, not worship, beat filled' music isn't completely BAD. Despite what crazed fanatics in the church think. Oh and Mr. V. He doesn't like rock music in the church. Found that out. Sometimes, I think he should keep opinions to himself, because it either comes out really offensive or like he's judging everyone else. Don't ever tell him that though, because I would rather just let it lie and ignore half of his opinionated comments.

And Dara, you are NOT in a cult. Remember when you were (and still are) so troubled by the whole 'cult' thing, and we were talking about different denominations? Well, I don't think we should get so caught up in what you believe and what I believe and the little things that are different. Yes, it can be important, but just because one church has some different ways of doing things, they believe in my God, and know my Jesus. Why is that so bad? You can't look at one church and say "they're doing that wrong!" and think your own church is perfect. Maybe that church you're all down on thinks the same of you. But the thing is, they're Christians like us, and we can still fellowship with them. We NEED to fellowship with them. Becuase two churches have different ideas, then maybe being around each other can help them work out what really is wrong in what they do and what is good. But we get so caught up in staying away from 'bad things' and judging others. Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye when there's a plank in your own? God has taken me to that verse when I'm looking for answers a couple times. And as much as it bothers me and I say "no God, I don't want to look at my own faults. Can't you see how wrong THEY are???" I know in my heart that it is true. And judging will only blind you more.
Yes, we do have to be careful. Always. Go into every church with self-control and test it. But don't let the wrong things obstruct your view. God IS in the church, no matter what others may say. People just tend to bury Him.

I wish it could be more simple. That we could all be one body in Christ, like it should be. But it isn't that way. And I'm not sure if it will ever be the way it was planned. Sometimes I wish we WERE more persecuted in North America. It would make us look past differences and unite as a church under God, not divide over man's own differences. Still, that is not for us right now. It is the trial of the Christians to face a world that doesn't care and is so focused on other things. It is our persecution to live in a country that won't give a darn about religion and God and death. It is so hard for us to look to Jesus for help, because the world tells us that isn't the answer. It crowds out life and love and faith.

Well, I really wasn't intending to write about that, and I 'm sorry for rambling so much. But I do have a lot of days to make up for in this blog. Dara's probably ready to slap me or deck me with that weapon attached to her arm. I think I'll go cower in the corner. Or try to call people again. Yeah. I need to do that.

Yeah.... okay. I Will write later!
