What’s on your mind?

[Faithfulandtrue]

Not sure if seeing old friends will bring me happiness or sadness. People have been reaching out to me after like two or three years, but I feel betrayed by the lapse of time the past by. I think watching them share all the changes in their lives might also trigger my depression. I know that sounds selfish but I can't help but feel that way right now

 

[Faithfulandtrue]

I feel useless, and without a clear aim in the future. It often occurs that whetever plan or hope I have is crushed easily by minor outcomes. I have little tolerance to failure, and one mistake makes, for me, the whole ordeal futile.

Im so sorry you are experiencing this. I too have had those thoughts but you never know what God will do with you. I know I need to remind myself that same thing everyday. You are valuable for you not what you do.

Hope you all are doing well these days!

Better start chugging that nog! Christmas can't begin until you do.

I actually have some in the fridge, but I haven’t opened it yet! I blame the Halloween candy that I just finished on Tuesday!

I also was daring and got some vanilla spice flavored egg nog! Never had that kind before. I usually just get plain!!

How’ve you been, Saucy????

Can you believe it's December?

I'm super duper busy. Started bible college and a pastoral internship at my church. How have you been?

No! Wasn't it just Halloween?

Wow, I’m so sorry so much time has gone by since I asked you that!!! Lots of weird crazy things have popped up for me lately. Tonight is the first night I plopped down on the couch and cracked open my iPad in a while!

That is SO COOL! Wow!!! What is it Bible college like??? Are you learning some interesting things that you might not learn in church? Like historical studies or things like that? I’ve always wondered what Bible college is like!

I’ve been good! It’s been a cool year. Recently moved into a house after we were living in an apartment for several years. It’s nice to live in a house again! Other than that, I’ve just been trying to get ready for Christmas I guess. We hosted our first Christmas party with my side of the family. Never really did that before!! I was so nervous!

I can’t believe Christmas is next week! Where did the time go???

Hey! There’s snow on my head in my owl picture. And floating across the CF screen! At least there’s snow SOMEWHERE in the world, even though it’s not here yet! I don't think it’s going to be a white Christmas here

We ran out of space over here. So this Christmas we setup a miniature tree. Is artificial and my sister decorated it. Has built in color changing LED lights.

Aww, I hope you can get some snow in time for Christmas! There's some snow here right now, but I doubt it will last long (it rarely does).
I like the snow floating across the screen. I like how the owl has snow on its head, haha. My avatar looks funny with snow on top.

I've got most of my Christmas activities done. I just need to buy one more gift, wrap a few more, and do some baking.
