2005: Every day is one step closer to ________.

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:25,27,34

Witnessing Without a Worry

"I wake up, put on my makeup, pick up the phone, nobody's home. I need to break out, get me some take out..." Typical daily life consists of an effort to look good, striving to be popular, and working at leading a successful life. We often forget our true purpose here on earth; witnessing to others about the true Christ and letting our light shine for God. Being on Jr. Staff at Camp Phillip this summer was a big spiritual awakening for both of us. We realized how important it is to have Christ in our lives. Camp is helping us stay "Rooted to the Rock" when we need it the most, our difficult teenage years. Not only did camp help us throughout the summer, but throughout the year we can now proudly witness to others about God's awesome love. We made everlasting friendships with others who have the same beliefs as us. Being able to praise God and yet have fun at the same time is an amazing experience. It was an extremely special feeling being able to teach and encourage children in their faith. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14. The atmosphere at camp is carefree, comfortable, and genuinely relaxed. The normal worries of everyday life seem to disappear as we focus on Christ and what he has done for us. All at the same time, infinate memories are made to last a lifetime. Jr. Staff at Camp Phillip has been abd will continue to be a life changing experience that strengthened our faith and gave us confidence to preach his word without shame. Look to God in times of need and you will find how much of a comfort He can truly be.

just thought i'd start you off with the article steph i wrote about camp for the bathroom newspaper. if you cant already tell, seeing as how we talk about it all the time and that is why, we LOVE camp. i can't even express enough in words how much camp means to me. enough of that.

today was a long day to say the least. ignoration is a tough thing to deal with.
no piano lesson tomorrow! thats a good thing, yet said cuz i would get my new music....oh well
CHEMISTRY TEST TOMORROW.......YIKES.
rachel is going to come up to camp with me for the teen retreat...im so excited!
guess what: i love reading my bible.
i had another really random thought today....but i forgot. well, i shall get going. love in the lord.......wally

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. ~1 John 3:1

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. ~Ps. 23:4




Catholics are messed up in the head....i mean, purgatory....honestly?? wow, this world is sad. Last night was a depressing night. There is this guy i've talked to online periodically for over a year now. his name is luis, and he lives in the dominican republic. i asked him if he believe in God and that Jesus died to save his sins......he replied by saying that he believes in god but not jesus. i argued with him for over 45 minutes about the subject and about religion and the bible and everything about it, and i eventually got nowhere. i wanted to cry. i tried so hard, but he's still going to hell. im just so sad, like i didnt say the right things or i didnt try hard enough or something.........please pray for him.
I went over to Stephies house yesterday, we had a grand time writing our article. it turned out really really good, especially for being posted in the bathroom. i shall post it later for all of you who are curious. Brett had a game, i only saw part of the 4th quarter, and they lost by 1 point. i felt bad for him. good ole' 5th grade bball. lol
so, like i said before, last night was sad. i talked to marcus.....didnt go to bed till 11:30 yet again for the 3rd night in a row.
Today is not going much better. I dont know why, but i feel like an outsider, like no one is really talking to me today except for brittany, and things just feel weird......people change :( and im still sad from last night, but its just hard to come to school, when none of your friends make much of a point to strike up a conversation......oh well......thats another thing i'll have to pray for.

there are times i just wish i was up in heaven and not here on this earth.
or at camp because at camp the stars shine brighter because you're closer to heaven.
I've had alot on my mind lately but this is all I can remember for now. I guess i'll be back later seeing as how i'm at school right now. in all circumstances....pray.

Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth. ~Ps. 25:4-5

JESUS LOVES YOU

Each one should use whatever gift he has recieved to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. ~1 Peter 4:10-11

so much has gone through my mind lately. first of all, the new girl came today, and the boys were being total idiots. they were acting really immature about the whole situation. boys can be stupid to say the least.
another thing is that i'm really really hoping for a snow day or late start or early release....it would totally make my day.
rachel was sick today. i thoughroughly missed her. i hope she gets better. :(
steph and i had very good conversations this evening.....first we talked on the phone about things such as our article, and camp stuff, and then about our friends. right now we're having an awesome conversation about camp and our feelings towards it and other things......it helps so much to finally get this off my shoulders and relate it to steph who has like the EXACT same brain waves (total mental connection)
that sparks another thought i had......that camp this summer will be sad. we (CITS) only get to do one session, which totally sux.....that made my night like 10 times worse. its so terrible, PLUS we're not having a jr. staff retreat and that was a totally awesome time......GRRRRR! i agree with steph: CHANGE SUX.
its been snowing alot and the roads suck.....
i miss marcus......
I HATE CHEMISTRY.....I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT!!!!!
im going to stephs tomorrow for a lil while to write our article, it should be a good time!
i took a nap today, it felt very good.
I get to see brookley this weekend.....WAY EXCITED!!!
i finally get to go to camp for the spring teen retreat i cant wait!! :)
i had a really good talk with april lorenz from camp....how i love her!
i really, really want a snowday, late start, or early release tomorrow...PLEASE GOD!!!!
well, thats that for now, i have to get goin........

But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. ~Micah 7:7
The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him. ~Nahum 1:7
Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on to the heights....~Habakkuk 3:18-19

Therefore we do no lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. ~2 Cor. 4:16-17

i would rate this weekend a 6.5 out of 10. 3 highs were: seeing marcus, speed camp, and jen and steph coming over.
so i woke up around 8 this morning. glorified God in church which we all should do wholeheartedly. he deserves so much thanks praise and honor, yet he gets slapped in the face every single time we sin. its such a sad sad world......youth group was an ok time. had a soccer game at uhelien at 1:00. i hate the team we played, words cant even explain how mad i am. we lost by 2. stupid.....ugh w/e. so rachel came over for like an hour maybe. then jenny and stephie came over. we had an amazing time. that was by far the most fun i've had in a while. highlights of our rendevue......
trying to do stupid stuff in my room, extremely hilarious!!
sledding down the stairs, all the piles we ended up in. "rodeo" lol and when jenny fell off going up the hill like 3 times!!! i got smacked in the face with a pricker bush, "snoda", talking to my brother about obscene things. "thats the worst feeling in the world" -aren't i a genius? oops......watching our "chin" video......it was a night filled with laughter :)

now i finished my comp lit paper. its 11:01. i really want it to snow tomorrow and have a snow day or at least a late start, but probably not.
:(

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. ~Eph. 4:32

Saturday, January 24, 2004

The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. ~1 Peter 4:7-8

friday was a good day. marcus picked me up from school and we took rachel home, although, we got stuck in her ditch on our way out of the drive way. how he managed that one....i have no clue! the roads sucked. we came home and just hung out, it was a good time. he slept over, on the couch of course.......
so my stupid little brother woke me up at 8:30 on a freaking saturday morning. how insane is that? i was, and still am going to beat the crap out of the little porker......marcus left, and i hung out for a couple hours till speed camp. yet again that was a fun time. we had to leave early so brett could play before the wave game. then we sulked at major goolsbys. the wave had an awesome game....6-2...booyah!!
tomorrow i am planning on having some of the girlies over to sled and ice skate. it shall be a good time! we've also got a game at 1:00. hope that goes good.

ya know what is really gross? public bathrooms at like large places, such as the arena we were at tonight....just completely and udderly conspicuous! ha which also sparks my mind that steph and i are writing an article that will be posted in bathroom stalls.....hmm what a coincidence (or as anne would say, how ironic, a little too ironic... :P) i really wish some of my friends were more christian, or religious. i really enjoy discussing biblical stuff with steph and it really helps my faith life, but the rest of my friends, idk i just wonder about where their faith is at sometimes...its hard to watch... :( please pray for them. oh yeah, and when you have troubles or are down, or even in any situation.....just pray.jesus loves you!!

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble ~1 Peter 3:8

Workship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, an d we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. ~Psalm 100:2-3
i love this verse.

"A good friend remembers what we were and sees what we can be."


stephie and i are writing an article for the bathroom newspaper by student council, we need suggestions, we're open to anything...please help!

2 questions to ponder:
If you could ask God one thing, what would it be?
If you could live one part of your life over, what would you do?

May he strengthen you hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. ~I Thess. 3:13

He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. ~I Thess. 5:10

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ~I Thess 5:16-18

Monday, January 19, 2004

last night was an amazingly fun night. anne and steph came over. we bundled up like little kids to go outside. it was a tit bit nipply out, so it took a while for the snowmobile to start. we had fun.......and we had a small little fight, but it was OK. so we went inside, and we were starving, so we decided on pizza hut and newsies.
while we were at pizza hut......
the waiter was turned on by anne's baldness!
steph, whats a SOFT ball??? lol
tribond-john the baptist, anne neuman, and spiders.......
(answer: all have eaten dried grasshoppers)
we rented a movie from blockbuster, newsies of course; one of the bestest movies of all time.
we came home, finished the little bit of ice cream that was left, and ventured down to watch our movie. anne and i adored the accent of jack kelly and all of the other newsies. oh how i love those two.....:)

i went shopping today, drove around with mom, and came home. marcus is over. i'll bbl. love everyone......ems

Sunday, January 18, 2004

i am exhausted.
friday was our last day of phy ed. im sad, although we did play indoor soccer. so, i got to drive home from school. woo hoo. go me. then marcus picked me up, we went to his school and watched his team. they're really good. i met the parents. and came home.

saturday i cleaned my room. then speed camp. yet again it was a fun 2 hours. it was hilarious to see us with the medecine balls.......then....i came home. hung out a little by myself. then my mom, bobby, and i watched grumpy old men. a very funny movie. we ate pizza and had ice cream, then watched 6 days 7 nights. another good movie. it was a fun night the 3 of us.

today (sunday) i got up at an insane 5:30, we left the house at 6:20. our soccer game sucked. it was only robin, teresa, laura, hannah, and i. laura got hurt.......i had to leave early.....and we were losing. thats one thing that bothers me...when people have no dedication whatsoever to sports they play. especially if they're good, and they just dont care. or when people say they are gunna come and they never do. w/e.
so we went to church, and youth group...SO BORING. now i'm home. and anne is coming over later, we are going to sled and go out for dinner. yay.

God has not promised
skies always blue
flower strewn pathways
all our lives through
God has not promised
sun without rain
joy without sorrow
peace without pain.....
But God has promised
strength for the day
rest for the laborer
light for the way.
grace for the trials
help from above
unfailing sympathy, undying love
unfailing sympathy...undying love.


i will leave you with a passage, but until then......
The only thing that counts is faith, expressing itself through love.
Gal. 5:6b

Thursday, January 15, 2004

I took a test, had a piano lesson which went rather well might i add. i am moving on steadily :) i talked to dorno after school until my mom came. we established the fact that i am a wimp. my brother finally came home today. thank you God. I came home, wrote my extra credit paper for chemistry about Richard Buckminster Fuller, who, was a rather interesting man. Tomorrow I have a chemistry test on chemical equations, not too hard. i'll manage.

it has been a busy couple of days......
so, my mom wakes me up at 3:30 on tuesday morning (monday night) to tell me they are taking bobby to the er. he has pneumonia. seeing as how i am a teenager and i dont get much sleep, my mind was only 1/2 on, so i managed to mumbble.....'alright' and turned over and immediatley fell back to sleep.

so i was all worried at school on tuesday because of bobby, and rachel is the best friend ever. and all my wonderful friends made a nice card for bobby, which, might i add, he loved. i went to rachels after school on tuesday, we watched switched, with the guy with colored hair; and knock first, the two shows i wanna be on! lol then rachel was teaching her dad how to talk "gangstER" it was very very funny. but ANYWHO........we went to the games tuesday, they all lost. how sad.
then i went to see bobby. it was sad to see him there, but yet amusing in the same. because he was very funny. so we didnt get home till like 10:30, and i just totally crashed.

today was a boring day at school once again. although, something very funny did happen. steph spit, i mean hocked a luggie at jenny, right at her. she started screaming. it was hilarious. i was crying iwas laughing so hard. phlegm is honestly one of the 5 funniest people i know.
so then, dearest angie bowe, whom i totally adore, took me to the hospital, where i hung out with my brother and mother for 2-3 hours. i had a good time, my brother looked so cute just laying on his bed. being the sweetheart he is, he shared his bed with me. good news though, he is gettin lots better, and will hopefully be coming home tomorrow :)

so tonight, i'm just hanging out. tomorrow i have soccer practice from 8-9, and ER is on. oh well......

i love playing piano.......just a random note for you.

don't take things for granted, because sooner than you realize, fate will threaten you......

if you love someone, tell them, because you may never get the chance to tell them. our days our numbered, who, of anyone, knows if they will live the next day? no one. thank God for everything.

im out. Jesus loves you!!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. ~Joshua 1:9

boring.......
my life is boring.......
overall today was a boring day. phy ed was funny when steph almost fell off alyssa, countless times. funny funny funny. so came home, and my brother had puked like 3 times today. gross. i had to watch him for a while just so he didnt choke on his puke......

i studied a little, ate some dinner while i did my adv. alg.
played some piano to relieve a little stress.....and as a matter of fact, i think i'm gunna go do that again. and now i'm just bored. i have 2 tests tomorrow too that i should maybe be studying for, but do i want to? nope. well i'll be back later~

life has its ups and downs.

thursday night club practice got cancelled. that was a big downer. so instead, i decided to go to the eventful kml indoor soccer night. it was actually kindof a waste of an hour. oh well, so ER was on. that was an up. it made me excited.

yesterday (friday) was a fun day, well, afternoon/night. phy ed was sort of fun. then ray and steph came over afterschool. we had such a great time: sledding 3 some as we totally crashed into the bushes. then the chin people. talking in shakespereian ghetto; what is up my home dog (house pup). lol thats WHACK!!! oh wait, i'm a girl.....ha ha. funniest thing in over a month! if you would like to see, we video taped. extremely hilarious. rachel likes to hold boots.......

then, this morning we got up at like 10:30. we tried to play the snowboarding game, but that didnt exactly work. it was going psycho! rachel left at 12:00. then I went to kml for speed camp. it was suprisingly fun. megan and i enjoyed the black belts and the bungees that tie your feet together. jen and i had fun running in the beginning even though we looked like fools.....then the guy was itching his balls as he talked to us (10). weirdo. now i'm home. i ate lunch. and talked to marcus. somethings wrong with him. ugh.....boys just wanna make me cry sometimes.

oh how i miss matthew, beth, jones, anne, vandenberg, steiner, carrissa, molly, the list just keeps going........

tonight i have to watch my brothers, and we have a game at 10 pm. i kinda wanna go, but yet i dont. oh well, i still need a ride, it you're bored tonight, call me,,,,,,PLEASE!!!
~waldorf

Thursday, January 08, 2004

today......what is there to say? yet again i am extremely tired. getting up at 5:40 every morning can really wear a person out! phew!

school was rather dull as usual......but phy ed was fun. we get to do CHEERLEADING!!! WOO HOOO!!!...................not. although, our group has a very neat stunt with the whole walking while on shoulders thing. lol, and steph and kellye are a riot! like when they tried to get on each others shoulders at least 10 times......and about 99.9% of the times they fell.....well maybe not, but it was still very very amuzing. melissa almost fell and died, how scary! i also had a piano lesson which was ok. to do solo ensemble or not to do solo ensemble? that is the question. she made me go like double time (like in taebo) on one part, my eyes and hands are still rattling.

i got home today. ate some food. and now i'm here, doing nothing, as usual. i'm excited for tomorrow when rachel, and hopefully holly and steph come over for a fun girls night; filled with movies and splurging! then saturday is the first day of speed camp......im kindof scared. and, its my dads birthday. and we have an indoor game at 10:00 pm....how insane is that?!?!

i have soccer practice tonight.....im excited, yet i'm not.....it better be fun. except i need to get inshape. well, i must get going.
love~

i love my friends. what would i do w/o them?
monday was a pretty good day. school sucked, but i got to see marcus for the 1st time in 2 weeks. that put a smile on my face.
tuesday was a day i will never ever forget. i laughed so hard. for starters, we were doing lesbianish things in phy ed. thanks to miss semon.....although, it was rather amusing to see us standing and sitting on each other. rachel and alyssa ran away......being chased by miss semon, alyssa bent my back in half. not much else of phy ed. THEN, i went to rachels, and we got to hang out with doug; the cutest baby in the whole world! oh how i love the mueller family.......

the basketball games were a riot! ok, so the jv cheerleaders fell. that was the funniest thing. i was trying so hard not to laugh as i repeatedly told myself "its not funny, don't laugh." but i couldnt hold it in. that was one of many highlights of the night.

so, rachel and i were rather bored watching our varsity guys lose as usual. so at half time, we swaggered(word of steph's i so nicely stole) our way out into the freezing tundra of the big wi. what started to be a small snow fight, grew to be the largest(not really) snow fight ever. some how, i was the one who always ended up in the snow. every so often we would go inside, but soon would run out the door again. i tried to trip her while we were standing in the snow; yet my graceful move backfired. i slid into the frozen white stuff called snow. after about 20 minutes of playin around we went inside.

we then argued for about 5 minutes with the door open on who was going to go in first because the whole wla team was right there. finally, i, being the one with the most courage of course, went in first. our guys were down by like 20......it wasnt looking good for our chargers. we had a very interesting talk about lots of stuff. periodically we'd watch the game because the boys started to come back. soon down by 10, then 6, then 4. we continued to chat.

the next moment i knew, we were tied with about 3 minutes left. then, it got exciting. in the last 5 seconds, behm got the ball, threw it down court to vogel, and SCORE!!!!! WE WIN. BOO-YAH!

rachel and i were extatic and the gym went crazy. while all this was happening, my foot got caugh in the bleachers, so being the smart person i am, stepped onto the floor for better footage. one minute i was standing, the next, i was on the floor. my feet were wet from the snow, and i slipped and fell in front of the whole visitors side (we were over there because there was no room on our side). rachel was laughing histerically as i just laid there laughing at myself. she pulled me up, and we ran out the door......i, of course, being the biggest freak of all time. she just laid on the floor laughing and laughing, and the laughing never stopped. i admit, if she had fell, i probably would've peed my pants......but no, i had to fall. oh well......

today was rather boring, yet funny at times. for instance....phy ed. we did more stunts, and i can still see kellye grabbing onto steph for dear life, steph and kellye falling, kellye straddling steph's neck as they fell.....those 2 are crazy, but i still love them. then, rachel couldnt stop laughing about what had happened last night. today is kindof a depressing day, i'm not in a very good mood. not myself. not cheery.

oh how i miss camp....tear :'( steph told me a funny story about igl, which i laughed. and i talked to matthew for about 2 seconds, but he had to go get his haircut. i am going through seperation of being at camp. sad sad sad..........

well, dinner is calling me. i must be going....but, if anyone would like to talk, give me a buzz, or an email seeing as how i have no life and i'm rather bored.

well......today i got up at like 7:00 maybe for church. then church. then 5 minutes of youth group. in the short 5 minutes i was there, i learned ALOT. ok, david, our "teacher" is a firefighter. he delivered a baby last night. a baby from an 11 year old girl. ELEVEN YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am still in shock. just think about it.........people these days.......

anywho.....then i changed for my game. then the game. i got there, no one from kettle was insight. i freaked. till i saw robin. then it was ok....except that it was only me and her.....till hannah, and kayla from her club team joined us. so, we chatted a lil with some girls from the other team (milwaukee lutheran) and they only had 5, so it was all good. we talked to the ref, and so we just kinda scrimaged or w/e. im not exactly sure, but someone forfeited. nevertheless, we won....9-1 within a time span of 25 minutes. pretty impressive..... :)

we traveled to the priewe's house......i had a fun time with angie. we talked about old memories of camp. it was tons of fun, oh how i enjoy her company! oh, and of course, the PACKERS....WOO HOO!!!!! it was a grand time. we got home in the snow. i love snow. party at my house this weekend. be there or be square. school tomorrow....yuck.....have a good night everyone..

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ~1 Thess. 5:16-18

wow its been a long time.....lets see where i left off. oh yes......well, monday night, was spent at the principals house with angie and steph. we had very interesting conversations, what a nice bonding night :) how i enjoy spending time with as angie would say, "gody" people.

tuesday i packed, and i think thats all i can remember. and other things, that dont need to be mentioned.

then.....wednesday morning, mel came over at like 9:15. i finished packing, we hung around the house, and packed up the car. we ventured off with: 8 duffle bags, 5 helmets, 7 pairs of skates, 7 extra bags, 2 big rectangular things full of food, 6 people, and 1 dog. WOW. it was amazing how we fit all of that in our van. rather uncomftorable though in the same sense. left at 11:00, arrived at 3:00 i think. we unpacked and just kinda sat around. our new years eve was very uneventful. rather boring if you asked me.

thursday we skated on the best ice ever! it was the smoothest, oh man i was in heaven. we then played a very eventful game of hockey: dad and mel vs. brett and me. of course brett and i won. mel cut her finger, almost passed out. we watched a movie, then took out the babies. oh man i was so excited.....until i saw that the trails sucked. then i was sad beyond belief. there was like no snow on the trails and they were all eaten up, oh well. it was interesting to see a man off of his atv pissing. pretty amusing. the rest of the night was pretty dull, once again.

friday i woke up at eleven. talked to marcus. took a shower. ate. watched a movie. then, at a freaking 1:00 in the afternoon, i woke mel up. she didnt get up on her own, i had to wake her up. wow. later, we went shopping, didnt get anything; but we did meet rapunzel at the winery. i was in awe. that night we went out to a very gourmet restaurant called BJ's. what looked liek cheese, turned out to be butter, except that it was on a slab of rock. we ventured home in the snow....oh how beautiful.

saturday.....we packed up, it was a nice feeling. left at about 1:40, got home at like 6:15. had fongs for dinner, oh what a delicacy. not really, but i can pretend. unpacked, talked to rachel, marcus, and megan. and now i'm putting down my thoughts.

heres some things to ponder:
love....
the bible....
things you regret....
how amazing God is....
things you miss....
what your life would be like without ____(you fill in the blank)....
your favorite bible passage....

i've thought about alot of stuff this week. i wrote down 7 pages, 14 sides of my favorite bible passages. i went through the entire bible. it really made me feel good. you should try it sometime. i'll see some of you monday, some of you hopefully soon, and some of you not for a while...:( but never-the-less i miss you all. God bless you.

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go to the heights. ~Habbakkuk 3:18-19
