I'm doing my best not to dwell on this weekend- I know it wasn't a personal attack on me but rather on the church...I think a personal attack on me though would have been easier to take...Current mental state- still confused- not at what happened but why people do things like this...an answer God only knows... Thank you all for your prayers and comments- yesterday I felt no love and it hurt but to wake up and see the abudance of love and prayers from all of you was wonderful. This is what the Church is made up of LOVE and I'm willing to stand and defend Her no matter the cost...
On to lighter things considering as I said Im doing my best....
I had great fun talking to Grayson and Jared last night- put those two together and you are guaranteed to laugh...its what I needed, its what I wanted and they delivered. They are great guys- both single- both wonderful friends *wink* anyone want to save them from becoming monks ;-)
I got woke up this morning from my crazy brother- its okay though the loser hadn't called me in almost 2 weeks so I figured I'd take what I could get- plus I needed to get out of bed- heehee- "But why its so comfy and my room is actually cool" So I talked to Micah a short bit- both of us were on the verge of falling back asleep - so I got off the phone with him and did a few things and then crawled back into bed...all the traveling and stress prevented normal sleep the last two days so I had some catching up to do... then when mom got home we had plans to go out to eat and go to one of the hotels and see if anyone was in the pool- we needed to cool off and wanted to go swimming- usually on week nights the place is empty and we can have the pool to ourselves so that was the goal. Well some how we ended up going to Cellular One to CHECK on new plans that will transfer to Alaska - we walked out WITH new phones and a new cell phone plan.
This is my new phone- which I like it- it has FM radio on it which is cool- I haven't figured it out yet -hehe
and this is what I think Mom, Dad, and Joleesa got- as much as I wanted a phone with Bluetooth on it - I liked the free part better :-D
as of right now our phone numbers are the same- they won't change until we get up to Alaska. I've already gotten to talk on my new phone- I called Bethany back - she called while we were there and I wasn't able to answer my phone and I talked to Micah again and tried out the really nice headset that came with it... It was nice because we know the lady that helped us and we were having fun and cracking up...
Laughter is good for the heart! thats my new theme in life- I want to laugh I want to smile- and I dont want anything to hinder that.

I was so sorry to hear about how you guys were treated yesterday. I really can't imagine a Christian ever treating anyone that way. Where does the fruit of the spirit fit in? But the real test of the fruit of the spirit is how we REACT when we're treated in every way but right. Whatever happens we can't allow any bitterness seeds or unforgiveness seeds to take root in our hearts. The plants that mature from those seeds are REAL UGLY (as you witnessed this past weekend). We've got to rise above that type of behaviour and plant only godly seeds in our hearts.
Sis. Jenna,
I'm sorry also for the behavior that happened Sunday. I just can't believe people can be like that..We have experienced similar things this past year. So our prayers are definately with you!! Sis. Smith is right, the real test of the fruit of the spirit is how we react. I've had a very hard time with some feelings that I've needed to get rid of. I feel like I am now turning a corner and instead of anger I am feeling love for these people. I have been able to pray for these with a clear heart. I'll keep praying for you all and please remember us in your prayers also. We love ya'll!!!
Love you!!!!
I hope I've displayed the right attitude towards it- I almost fill like I am not reacting- I don't know how to react- I think I am still in utter shock- we were there just 2 weeks ago and all was well...and then this... I've done my best to watch what I say and how I say it- I don't want to be accused of having a bad spirit about it- I'm hurt thats the only emotion I can identfy wih right now...
Thank you Sis. Marsha for your prayers and we've been praying for you as well... and will keep praying for you...
I love you to Sis. Tammi
