As we got back to the house, I realized that there were a few more cars than there had been. Ashley's grandparents and second Aunt was now there too. I was so tired and I think most of it was just from the drive and the spiritual growth. I know it doesn't seem like that much work to work on your faith and your relationship with God but it is. Its still weird that I was tired though, because most nights I stay up till at least 2 or 3 in the morning and don't actually get tired but know I have to sleep. It was only like 11 when we got back from FNL.
I like to stand sometimes, even when I know I can sit down. It helps me think and I also notice the little things in the room or in a person. Well, Jen or Mrs. Jen, or Mrs. Larson whatever you want to call her, kept trying to get me to eat and I just kept saying, " No, thank you. I'm fine." It was kinda funny, because she just wouldn't stop.Finally she told me to sit down and I, of course, said," I'm okay thank you." But was told by Jen," I don't bite, unless you ask me to." I sat down between Jen and Georgia. As I sat down, I just become at peace with everything. I was comfortable in the house and with the people around me, I knew that I could trust the people God had placed in my life. I know I got all this from sitting down, how crazy can I be?
Its hard for me to trust people and be comfortable with everything. So when I was, it was just such a big step in my life, I guess you could say. I listened to all the conversations going on, the sounds of nature going on outside, the dogs paws on the wood floor and I fell asleep. You know how when your sleeping and then someone says the word sleep and its like you just wake up? That's what happened, I was sleeping I guess and Jen said sleep and the next thing I know Georgia isn't sitting next to me and Jen is looking at pictures on the computer. I thought it was kinda weird that I would just fall asleep like that because most of the time I would have never ever done that and if I did would apologize many many times. I didn't though, I just went with it.
Where was I going to be sleeping for two nights? In Ashley's room with Heather,Livy, and of course Ashley. When I went to get ready for bed, Heather was sitting on the bed and we started talking. Then Livy came in and the three of us were talking, and then the last one of us came in and we all were talking. After we all were in bed, I felt like we were the girls from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants which is a movie but it was a book first and many books really. I could see how we all fit their personalities and just see how our friendships are kinda the same. So I let the girls know that's what I felt like and we all laughed and giggled. Being girls, kinda like a sleepover type thing, we talked and talked while laughing and giggling and just being too tired to sleep. Once it was quiet though, we all fell into sleep.
It was the first time in I don't even know how long , that when I was asleep and dreamed that it wasn't a nightmare, it was a weird creepy dream but it was funny not scary. I think it was because I was able to really see God again and know that God was taking place in my life. I know God is always working in my life but I don't always see how big certain things play part in my life. Since I was able to really see everything God has been doing though, it made it easier to know that He has what's best.
The next morning was crazy but fun. There was the crazy breakfast that was pretty awesome though, and then just hanging out with everyone for a while. Georgia was going to go see her friend and invited me to come along. I knew that I wasn't going to find much to say during the visit but I also knew that Ashley would probably want to spend some time with the kids alone. I went and found it quite interesting,really. One thing that really stuck through all of the conversations is that she said that people refer to a soda as a coke. It went with just everything else she was saying but later on the next day someone said that some one's coke was sitting on the TV and then said that it was a Dr.Pepper. I just found it funny.
