one of the weirdest things ive ever seen...

...anyone else confused? i really was, so much that i had to take a picture

i got tagged by katie.. haha

just noticed. okay, well...
1. ive never been trick or treating. next wednesday is my...16th year of NOT trick or treating? cool
2. i used to be a big tom boy. i cut my hair really short and wore baggy clothes and me and my other "tom boy" friends would argue if we should call ourselves tom girls or tom boys. my now best friend beckie wore dresses and when she would ask to play with us wed say "no 'cause dresses are girly girl!" yay for second grade!!
3. i fell on a treadmill in 7th grade and still have the scars. it hurt so bad!
4. i was on a plane 6 times the summer before my 8th grade year. cali-florida-panama-florida-cali-costa rica-cali
5.when i was little i would pretend to give God a kiss and a hug before i went to bed and id say goodnight to the angels around me :)
6.I ABSOLUTELY HATE GREEN BEANS. and i went to a little ladies dinner at beckies uncles church and a lady scooped a huge pile of them onto my plate and said "i made them myself, theyre delicious!" wouldnt have been bad, but then she came and sat next to me and made sure i ate them. when she wasnt looking id put them on beckies plate, but she made sure she saw me eat them. it was awful
7.i talk to my dog and cat when im alone.
well, i have no clue who's going to read this and who to tag. sooo if you havent done this then i tag you!

i

really dont like awkward, incredibly uncomfortable, conversations. and then you wish you had said something else but you only knew what came to your head when it happened cause it was just so weird. and people yelling at you from their cars(well, not when i know them of course) and especially when they happen right after eachother.
butttttt its okay!!!

like paul, i think it was paul, that said, let your speech always be with grace, as if seasoned with salt, so you will know how to respond to each person. ohhhh Lord i need that!

go there to view the article. he left behind his pregnant wife and two young sons as well. i dont know if ill ever be able to fully understand the middle east conflict, but i do know these people are our brothers and sisters in Christ. why arent we helping them more? if youve heard of Brother Andrew's latest book, Light Force( im just beginning it, my mom just finished it) when you get to the end youll read about a young man named Rami who was ready to do anything for the Lord. this is the same man. and he was the owner of the same bookshop mentioned in Light Force, the only christian bookshop in Gaza. my mom and I were talking about the book when i mentioned the article i had read from my sisters blog about a young palestinian bookstore owner that was murdered, and my mom realized this was the same Rami from Light force.
his family needs our prayer.
christian palestinians need our prayer.
