CHUZZLES. PUFFLES.
my little sister showed me her "puffle" stuffed animals last night. they are off of the show "club penguin" and I was PUMPED at the fact they are just like chuzzles. when she showed me I yelled "ARE THOSE CHUZZLES!?" and she responded with "UM NO puffles DUH."

ohhh high school.
I drove all the way to Lexington today..just to do laundry. I can't complain though, I could use the dorm facilities...but when my roommate found random undies in her laundry...I decided I just couldn't do it.
I have to admit it is extremely weird being home. Every time I return to Lexington I feel like I am in high school all over again. It's an uneasy feeling. The person I was for most of high school is a person that has been long gone for about a year now. When I enter my room I see the remains of that girl. It brings back good memories, but also a lot of bad ones. I didn't experience anything tragic in high school, but I was an angry, bitter, and mean girl. I regret so many things I did, especially the way I treated some people. So everytime I am back in Lexington, I return to a time I am fairly ashamed of, and that is hard. At the same time, I know being back makes my relationship with Christ even better. It just forces me to remember that he DIED for me. My sins are forgiven. I was given a new life. All the old memories are just that: memories. They shaped me into who I am today, but it is not who I am anymore. I am new...
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Corinthians 5:17
...DUH AL.
I have done most of my "changing" fairly recently. Being here it was hard to turn my life around, when I got to college it was simple. God put me exactly where I needed to be and gave me every tool I needed to start living for him and serving him. Unfortunately, I feel like unsettled business is back home. it's a strange feeling. I will say, however, that it is SO GREAT running into people when I'm home. Sometimes their reactions to the new me are good...sometimes bad...but either way I know they see a difference. I also know that despite rejection from some old friends..I have a crowd of people cheering me on, one of which is my father, Jesus Christ :)
On another note...I LOVE seeing my cat.. and my family too I guess. I also enjoy catching up with old friends...which I try to do when I am here, if times permits. Before I started typing this I was looking at old pictures. That's the one thing I love about this old desktop computer: it holds a lot of funny stuff.
