Family is important too
"KYLE KYLE ARE YOU EXCITED FOR SANTA TO COME WITH PRESENTS?!?!?!?"
Well he gets this very contemplative look on his face, places his hands on his hip and looks me straight in the eye and says
"Kelly, Christmas is NOT just about presents, Family is important too."
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Drawing near.
Let me get off subject for just a second, Well most of you know I have been home sick since sunday evening, and my mom and I went to the Urgent care and the diagnosed my sickness as H1N1, so needless to say I have spent alot of time in my room(i do that anyways but more than usual =D), and on one of the occasions I decided to sneak up and get some water, The tv was on, Kyle was watching the 25 Days of Christmas program on ABC Family. They were going of the story of Santa Clause and how he came to exist. I just rolled my eyes and moved on, until I heard "There were no preachers or judges so they were married before God." it went on as Mr. Clause and Mrs. Clause Prayed for each other, and Gave thanks to God. They then went even further as to say why He chose Christmas Day, a Holy day which Jesus was born, for Christmas. I was in utter shock. We are still in America right?? This is the same country that my friend went to court for standing for what he believed, and the same country which keeps arguing God has no place here, and yet this Show kept Gods name holy, and was open about what the characters believed.
If that's the case maybe there is hope for the world this season.

Hope to be like you
You know most people look at their parents, see their mistakes and say “I’m never going to be like them.” I look at my parents, and I hope I’m like them. As I write this I’m sitting on the stage awaiting the drama team to walk in, and I look in the back through the glass and I see my dad, and I know he’s not perfect He could tell you that himself, but I am so proud to call him my dad. There are probably over 100 people waiting to get food, Tuesday nights my dad has his food distribution, and I watch him as he talks to everyone, and gives each person his complete attention. He’s probably being pulled in a thousand different directions, and probably stressed to the max, but the smile has yet to leave his face, and he does each task with such diligence. He never asks for anything in return for all his hard work, he just does it. People look up to him and respect him because he treats people with respect regardless of there current situation or past, and I admire that about him. When ever I talk to people they always tell me "You're so lucky to have such a great dad." I just smile and tell them I know. Because I truly am. I am blessed far more than one could describe. and I hope one day People will look up at me with the same respect and admiration as they do when they look at my dad. =D Love you Dad!

Thoughts
I was reading my journal the other days and I can see how much I've changed some of the change is good some needs improvement. But I look back and I remember what I was feeling on specific days and how because of those hard times, and joyful days my life was changed. It's a weird feeling looking back. I've realized I've lost some of the passion for worldly things I had and gained a new passion for Christ and His teaching. Much of my thinking before was based on me and what I was feeling and the fact that it's not all about me has hit me So hard. As much as I try I can't do anything with out Christ. I have NO POWER I don't know if anyone's seen the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, but I felt like Peter for a while. I felt invincible, like I knew everything just because I had grown up in the church and because I know the Bible. But I realized I can have all the wisdom in the world and it doesn't make a difference with out having that relationship with Christ. Just like Peter in the movie, thought he knew everything because he had been the king of Narnia he had to remember it was Aslan who had given him that power and that with out Aslan, He had no strength.
With that in mind, I have felt the need to be a witness in my school, I believe firmly believe that my generation will either make or break America. As we continue to kick God further out it will only become more difficult, and I have felt a strong conviction to be a witness in my school. But Every time God comes up, I get nervous and trip over my words. Fear overcomes me as people look at me with judgmental glances. I want to be unafraid, no matter what happens. I want to shake foundations and see mountains move. Facing the Giants has been my example... I want that to happen in my school. But I need God to go ahead of me and begin moving the soil, and preparing peoples hearts, and I need courage to speak with out fear.
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the willingness to overcome it." -Shawn Morrison
So, If you remember please lift me up in prayer. I want to begin to shake spiritual grounds as I come face to face with the enemy and try and take back what is rightfullythe Lords, with Christ leading me on!

An original song (still no title)
Well that night I went to Youth group and a girl I had never met before came up to me, and gave me this note, it basically said "I have never met you, but I love you. God loves you, He has shown me your heart and the beautiful person you are. I would and will lay my life down for you." I broke, God Loves me!! He heard me!! And so thats what this song is really about.
Do you hear the rolling thunder
Can you see the lightening flash
Feel the rain
Welcome to my life
Darkness always follows
Telling me I'm worthless
It says Hello
And I'm trapped
Why does this always happen
When things get so bad
I wanna run I wanna cry
Cut my wrists give up don't try
Chorus:
Is there anybody out there
Give me a reason
to save my life
From death tonight
Can everybody hear me
Are my words spoken clearly
Call my names
Or I'm leaving Hell tonight
The mocking words they sting me
Play with my mind and hurt me
Can't they see
I'm broken inside
This corner is my friend
Two walls protect me
I'm alone
And I cry
Why does this always happen
When things get so bad
I wanna run I wanna cry
Cut my wrists give up don't try
(CHORUS)
Time was no friend
Time was no friend
Time was no friend
Pull the trigger (repeat multiple times)
(CHORUS)
Then I read the words
written clearly cross the page
How did you know
I needed to know(X2)
I.........
I.......
I.........
I love you (repeat multiple times)
I know your out there
Gave me a reason
To save my life
From death tonight
Can everybody hear me
His words are spoken clearly
He called my name
This isn't Hell, I'm here tonight!
I know this recording isn't great, it was done with my webcam, but it gives you the idea of how its supposed to sound. =)

Thinking
So it's been a month now, and I love where we are and love the neighborhood, and I love this house, but I really do miss all my friends being so close, I miss my youth group, I miss my hometown and knowing it like the back of my hand, I miss walking to the railroad tracks, sitting and writing, laughing, crying, or just thinking, I miss a lot of things. Its been a challenge for me. I've grown up in Bloomington, despite all the moves I've made in the last 13 years its always been in Bloomington, close to everything.
Its weird because I don't even know how to put into words the thoughts that are going through my head. I feel like laughing because I know this is a good thing, but at the same time crying because everything different. Its only 45 minutes away, true enough, but its not like I can go out there everyday and see people. I think one of the hardest losses has been the youth group. The last time I went I had found out we got the house, and I was too excited to realize I that was the last time I would be there, the last time I would run power points, or open the candy shop, as well as finally lead worship there, trivial things i know, but after 4 years with this youth group seeing it at its high and lows, they have become like family.
Gosh I've been sitting here thinking for 45 minutes trying to figure out how to word all this, How sad is that, I cant even word any of this, So lets just say I miss a lot of things!
And please don't get me wrong, I am extremely happy, about where I am and whats been happening. But the transition and trying to find a new normal has been difficult. anywhoo I put up a picture, This is me 3 weeks after the surgery(3 hours ago lol) swelling is mostly gone, and I have an overbite LOL... and yes I have been having waaaaay too much fun with my webcam LOL pictures are evidence enough lol =P

Kellys Duct Tape Creations
I have Decided to start my own business. I came up with the idea as I was sitting at home bored out of my mind. I figure I'll test it out over the next 4 weeks see if theres any interest, and then when I'm all better see if I should continue. This is something I love doing, and its fun and easy for me. SO check out the web page and let me know what you think. Check out the pics I've set, I think theses are pretty awesome, but I could uses some feed back =D
Thanks guys

Surgery
Well Everything was fine until last night. You must know I am Very afraid of shots. thats the only thing that worried me in regards to this whole operations. So last night The vein in my left arm must have clotted because they couldn't push the medicine through. I was already feeling overwhelmed with my lack of communication, because nobody seemed to understand what I was saying/meaning. Well they had to set another I.V. in my other arm, and So they gave me a shot to numb the area, and then stick the I.V. in after attempting to push medicine through my left vein for 20 minutes which burned!!! So that caused me to have a meltdown in itself, because I couldn't explain to the I.V nurse that the other nurse had already tried for 20 minutes before which also burned! So after getting over that, I was hungry, but my bottom lip was numb, and I couldn't eat anything with out it falling out of my mouth(I still can't actually LOL) and I began getting really sick from all the meds they had me on(they were afraid I was going to throw up, which wouldn't have been good with my jaw shut) and I got awoken every two hours to take mere meds. Lets just say that to sum it up the meds where messing with my head and I was feeling VERY emotional all last night over all the little things that were happening, everything seemed like a huge deal.
So I asked them to switch the meds to something with less side affects, and by this morning my head was clear, and I was able to think clearly. No I'm not putting up pics because I am VERY swollen and am staying at home for a reason =P but now that its over I hope everything will be fine(once the swelling goes down) Please pray for me, as my jaw is constantly aching, and The fact that I can't talk is still frusterating. I don't like not being able to communicate as I tend to speak my mind LOL and typing/writing everything means I have to get right to the point and I can't explain(which I also like doing)HAHAHA Thanks guys and I hope this wasn't too confusing to try and read my jabber haha

Busy busy busy
Well Over the last couple weeks alot has happened =P Obviously I didnt have internet(we just got it today), I moved, and I started at a new school. We recently moved to a beautiful home in Brooklyn Park, 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and nearly an acre of land. Its an amazing place. I'm uploading pictures =D but Also I started at a new school today, apparently the largest school in Minnesota, its like a mini campus, over 3,000 kids. And on top of that next wensday I go in for my jaw surgery. I will be pretty much quarantined at home for 3-6 weeks *sigh"* not exactly a great start at a new high school as a Junior. Its a lot of change, but its been really good. =D

A license to drive.
Second time later that evening I took my sister out, she bought coffee, and we went to Target, and then took Kyle to Chutes and ladders. We all just had fun, hanging out and getting out for a few hours.
Third time today my dad had me trail him so he could drop off the truck at the dealership to see about getting it fixed up.
All three times obviously I didnt do too much damage as I'm still here, and the car is safetly parked in the garage, but it has been slightly odd not having my mom or dad in the passenger seat. Today as we were dropping off the truck I saw a Ford sign, and I always lean over to tell my dad and mom "Hey look its Ford, The problem is circled" just because I can, Well I went to lean in and tell them, but they weren't there...
Despite the oddness haha its definatly freeing knowing they trust me in that way. I know many of my friends who have restrictions and rule after rule put on them, which I'm not saying is bad, but I'm glad my parents are trusting me and not putting down alot of rules. Its the fact that they trust me to make the correct decisions that I find really cool about my parents. I feel like I have freedom, believe me when I say I'm not planning on doing anything stupid BTW. But I definatly have more freedom than many people I know. Thanks mom and dad for trusting me Luv you guys!!

My room is about twice the size, and the house is incredible! Its got a HUGE yard, and The house is AMAZING. It wasDefinately a God thing =D I'm not sure about moving though. I'm leavign everything familiar in Bloomington, and moving to Brooklyn Park. New school, New area, and New people. Yes its only 30 minutes from Bloomington, but thats still further than before and will mean seeing my friends less.
PRAYER REQUEST!!! I'm going in to take my license test August 18th Pray I get it the first Time, and that I get a car(I have no money and am praying God provides one free, i know thats a big request, but God can do anything)
Pray For my upcoming surgery September 16th I will have to be at the hospital by 5:30am, and will stay overnight.
Pray that I find a job ASAP once we move as well
Thank You God for what you are doing!! and Help me as I deal with the upcoming future.

Impressions
So many of my other friends I have now it was the same way, I know my friend Rebekah will read this, but I'm going to say it anyways. I used to think my friend Rebekah was little miss popular, and that she would only cling to her group, because she was too stuck up, but Then I became neighbors with her through a series of events, and I came to realize she an amazing person. She has a heart of gold, Shes always there when you need a hand, and she is the most open person I know.
These are impressions I got before I even met these people, and I finally got to know them and I realize they are some of the best friends anyone could have. If I could say anything to people it would be dont let your first impressions ruin a possible friendship with someone, they could end up being the coolest people you could ever meet, but because you didnt give them a chance you never found that out. And that would be a true loss!
