Welcome to my horrificly boring life!
Rain

Why is it that when it rains it pours? It storms. You end up with a tsunami. Just a thought I had earlier today. Seems like for awhile everything goes great and then BAM! You're hit with one hundred things all at once. They can't come one at a time, so I have a little while to process, and not feel so overwhelmed. They must come like a giant wave, and generally I end up drowning. Thank god I have friends who are there to grab my hand and pull me back up out of the water. It makes me feel really sorry for those who don't have the wonderful, caring friends that I do.


As you can tell, I'm a little depressed tonight. Don't really know why....alot of reasons, I guess. Oh well...I'll be fine in the morning. I always am. On the up side, pioneer school starts Monday, which I really excited about.....And I'll be 19 next month. I don't know why, but it seems like a big milestone.....19 just sounds alot older. In reality, of course, I shall be exactly the same. But maybe this year will be alot better than the last one. I hope so at least. Although, I must say, the first year of pioneering was awesome, even though alot of bad things happened during it. I just love pioneering. I never ever want to quit. I actually feel like I'm giving my all to Jehovah, which is something I never felt before.


And while I'm not nearly as spiritually good as I would like to be, things are improving. I'm working on alot in my life right now. Changes I need to make with my life and personality before I reach full "Adulthood" and get out on my own, or whatever. So anyways, I know this blog was boring, but for some reason I felt compelled to write it, to get it out of my head, and on to paper. ok, not paper, but same concept. Anyways, thank you all for being such good listeners, or readers, as the case may be. I feel very "fortunate", for lack of a better word, to have you in my life.

I am so glad you enjoy your first year of pioneering so much. Also neat to see that you feel like you have never felt before. I know what that is like, Im going through that right now! Ever since the convention I have really focussed on my relationship with Jehovah. There are alot of things I had to change and give up and plenty more I need to improve in, but yeah the feeling is incredible! It really is undescribable. Like in service today when I was working by myself, I was talking to Jehovah and it was cool, knowing he was listening and caring for me. Cause I did not "like" working by myself. But anyway I just want to let you know I can level with that feeling.
I hope that you continue to pioneer and enjoy it. And I want to thank you so much for all your help and support too. Phone witnessing has been fun mostly, except when terrald got all serious :) Just playing, that may have been justified, but anyway, glad to hear of your success and happiness with your relationship with Jehovah.
Ok Im done...

I think what you have is going around. When you read my blog you could probably tell that i am having similar weightl feelings. don't despare however, please know that making the needed changes in your life can sometimes bring on such feelings but things like bible reading and most powerfully PRAYER is the best way to come out of it. I, like you have been making needed changes this year in my life and most importantly my relationship with jehovah. I appreciate the feeling that jehovah hears my prayers and understands what i'm going thru. I have also recieved much support from my friends. they even put up with me on the worse day of my life, this week. lol. don't know what the worse day of my life next week will bring, but i know that i can get through it with jehovah's help.

May jehovah continue to bless your efforts, that's not a wish that's a promise.
and after pioneer school you'll feel that more than ever. and then i'll be expecting you to encourage me as i will need it!
man i'm almost as long-winded as joe p!
