This fourth of July, I was watching fireworks from the bleachers of Oakland Mills high school. They were some of the most powerful fireworks legal in Howard County *cough*~weak. Yeah... odds are, if you can find it in Howard County, it's so weak that you wont be able to find it anywhere else. Come on people! Whats next? Pop Rocks illegal? Its the fourth of July for crying out loud! Lets blow something up! On independence day, we should come together as a nation and, for one day, defy convention. And common sense. And warning labels. And besides, who needs eyebrows? If your a true patriot, you wont care. Oh, and by the way. Read Amandas blog. Its really good. To Amanda, That ad is going to cost you twenty bucks.

I just told a whole room full of people, some I know some I don't, about Jess and Caroline last year. (Don't worry I never said names.) But I didn't realize how much the fact that that happened last year still hurts, no I feel like I still haven't let it go. I don't know why, but when Diane said that anyone could say how God had helped them I just knew I had to say it. It did help me feel better when after people came over to me, and gave me hugs. I was surprised to hear how many people told me that they either had friends go through that or that are currently. But after those girls told me about them having similar stories, it just made me feel that much better that I didn't ignore what God called me to do. I really do believe now that God doesn't just tell us to do things without a reason. Even though we didn't truly have a lesson today at YoungLife, I still felt that through this experience I have first learned to let people into my life more, and second learned that when God puts it on your heart to do something he truly has a greater reasoning for it (even if you don't find out about it). Like I feel now after telling the story those people that have dealt with this, or are or will, will know they aren't the only ones going through this. This also helped me learn through the other girls telling me about them having friends like this; that I truly wasn't the full reason behind what happened. Even if they did keep comparing themselves to me, it didn't mean that I was the one that told them to be like me.
I think if I ever do a lesson for YoungLife later on in life that I shall do it on this story.
