    Repairing what used to be a friendship

    Thank you all for the help and advice. I really appreciate it - and upon reading your advice, having (more than) a few conversations with The Man Upstairs, and sleeping on it...the best course of action seems to let things lie where they are. Thank you again...in retrospect, it looks like this...

    Goodness, gracious...it's been a while!

    Hello, all - I am Lara. Yes, I've introduced myself before, however - as we all are, I am at a different point in my journey. I've been reflecting a lot lately on the people that God has placed in my life, and I've realized that I've been taking a lot of them for granted without realizing it...

    Repairing what used to be a friendship

    There is a guy that meant the world to me for an entire year of my life. He was the person that brought me to Christ and made me realize that religion wasn't just something I participated in half-heartedly on Sunday mornings. We were friends before we became a couple, and we dated for a year...

    Confessions of a Bibliophile.

    Oh wow, I am sitting here drooling at pictures of libraries that all remind me of the ginormous library from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast".

    Any other people here suffer from migraines?

    I have had a few every now and again. They started when I was 7 or 8 when I came home from a friend's house and spent the next 4 hours on the sofa, crying, because my head hurt so bad and nothing fixed it. Thankfully, as I've gotten older, taking 3 Advil at the onset of the headache and then...

    God is Awesome

    Life has just really gotten so much better - not because things are going well, because a lot of them aren't, but because God has finally gotten into my heart! I guess that's how you explain it? Lara

    The short version: We met coincidentally online through a trumpet forum and then met in person and the rest is history. The long version: I am a trumpet player - I've been playing it since 4th grade (coming up on 12 years now), and one summer when I was in middle school, I decided to join...

    What do you want to be when you grow up?

    When I was little, I claimed to want to be a "Ballerina-Nurse" as a job. However, it's even in my kindergarten journalings, I have always wanted to be a wife and mother. For a career now that I'm older than 4 - I'd like to be a music therapist and work with children who have autism and the...

    *waves* I'm ready for questions!

    Oh yay! Questions to answer! Q: Why are you republican? I am a republican because I believe in less government, personal responsibility, I am pro-life, I believe in having a strong and healthy military, lower taxes, and I believe that the second amendment should be left alone. Out of the two...
