scream crying

Reading you guys' posts make me a combination of mad and sad... gonk

We had rain all the beginning of this week, and the snow was just 50 miles north of us... and I ws prepared to be fine with that, but then the temperatures dropped the day after the rain to the teens!

It has stayed in the teens since, and now, the south was getting snow this morning! Places that shouldn't even get snow! My Niece has snow in Texas!

TEXAS!!!!

... and we have to deal with all problems of having snow, without the benefits! cry

It looks like we will be getting another front through here this weekend, but the temperatures are supposed to raise to just above freezing... Then they will probably drop and all that rain will turn to more ice.

This Sucks! emo

Yeah, it's been pretty chilly and gloomy here. Which I don't mind, but our heating bill has been so high that my parents don't put the heat past sixty-six. D:

In good news, though, I fit into my size seven jeans now. 3nodding

Ugh this week sucks a**.

First my friends judge my faith. Then my two best friends from pwi argue with Don and his ex, end their friendships. Now Don told his other friend that they can't be friends and he hung up. She called back and his ex answered, and she started yelling at her. o.o

...when's the last time any Church cancelled due to too much sun? What is too much Sun, anyway? And why is it being brought up when most of the country is under attack by a legion of ice and powder?

Hello smile
Today the weather changed drastically here; very windy but also quite warm. So I had such a very nice walk in the forests and fields... awesome.

Everything is finally melting because it's finally above freezing... But it's supposed to freeze again tonight, and there might be more snow storms Sunday and Wednesday.

I wouldn't care, but the show I'm stage managing opens on Thursday. We have tech all day too, which I think we might get out early. It's like... the least stressful tech ever though. I love it.

Right?

I'm a little worried by someone's heart in Christ if they need a church to revel in and worship Him.

Granted I'm a fan of ritual and public worship but yes you are spot on you don't need a specific spot to worship God.

Oh definitely. I would go insane without worship.

But what's worse? Worshiping God at home or not. For me? It's not.

Besides, I know people who have issues with their spirituality if they go to a church. Everyone is different.

I don't like public worship, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Especially with public prayer. It's like you're putting your relationship on display .__. I'm weird.

So last night was just ******** up. Well really late yesterday afternoon. My mom was screaming at my dad about the dog poop in the backyard cause it was going to rain...in 3 hrs .__. Then she screamed at me because heaven forbid I keep boxes in case my s**t breaks or I need to pack everything and move out, and because my closet is in disarray. She actually grabbed my arm and almost hit me. I spent the hr in my closet crying as I was cleaning it. Oh what the ********>

I like public worship as an accountability tool and as a means of fellowship, but even when I did attend church regularly, I always found it much more meaningful to not attend church weekly.

When I went every week, eventually it became something I felt I had to do, and it became so routine the spirituality got sucked out of it. I found it much more impacting to maybe skip a week or two and then go back. The message was always much more meaningful to me.

My douchey ex best friend chewed me out for this belief a few years ago, but I still maintain that, if that's how I worship, that's fine. I just always experience God so much more when it's not a routine. Of course, he and I had a lot of issues and in hindsight, he used Christianity as a means of manipulating me on several occasions, as we went to the same church.
