| 7/25/02 I'm already starting to slack on this journal thing. I started this so my friends could know exactly what's going on in my life when I'm in Seattle. (fingers crossed) Alright well, I've been soooo BUSY! Went to Chicago a couple times, hung out with the 'older group', saw a Phoenix Rising show- they're really good if you haven't seen them yet. Well I've been playing guitar for a week and I can already play a song. I was excited even though it's simple. I've been asking myself a question over and over this week. If all of the people around me just died, how long would it take me to get over each person? Would I be able to get over it? Honestly, I could get over each death, and it would only take me awhile to get over two of the deaths. That should not be my answer. The Lord just recently has made me see how much love I have to give. I was surprised at how much love I haven't given away. Only these past few months have I realized what love is and have actually felt love. I shouldn't be storing up that love. I'm afraid of feeling vulnerable and rejected though and all too often I associate vulnerability with weakness. The Lord put this love inside of me for a reason, and I need to share it. |
