Interesting...

Originally posted September 20, 2008

So I decided to post some interesting facts about me just because I want to and I'm in a real-LY good mood. And I should real-LY go to bed cuz it's 12:37 AM and I need to get up at like 6:30 cuz I'm going bowling w/ the Haven Bible study tomorrow, but I'm wide awake and bored and will force myself to go to bed after this. And my dad and brother are fighting so I'm trying to tune it out. Jeez. So anyways, let me try to think of some interesting things about me (not that I'm very interesting).

1. I hate coffee. I've tried to make myself like it and drink it, but it's basically just a no-go w/ me. There are a few I will drink however and I real-LY like the glass bottles of the Starbucks vanilla fraps.

2. I am obsessive about grammar. It drives me crazy when people use poor grammar, especially when I spot it in a newspaper or magazine. They should let me be their editor.

3. I LOVE country music and I am completely obsessed w/ Sugarland. I have been to 3 Sugarland concerts so far and I hope to add to that number soon.

4. I real-LY don't like meat. I could be a vegetarian if I had to. It wouldn't bother me. I don't even like chicken that much.

5. My right ankle cracks and I have a bad habit of rolling it until it cracks. I even do it in public.

6. I love to sing. I used to think I absolutely sucked, but I recorded a video of me singing and I've realized that even though I'm not all that great, I real-LY don't sound that bad either.

7. I love to dance. I took a dance class and my teacher real-LY discouraged me so I decided to never dance again. But lately I've been considering trying it again. I want to take a dance class just for fun. I figure if I do it for fun, it doesn't real-LY matter if I'm good or not and if I learn some things along the way, even better.

8. I have a bad habit of cracking my knuckles.

9. I used to constantly bite my nails. 2 1/2 years of braces cured that. I had tried before, but was unable to stop. When I got my braces, it hurt too much to bite my nails, so I stopped. I haven't bitten my nails since.

10. I hate milk. But I do like chocolate milk.

11. I have a nervous habit of biting my lips.

12. I have noticed that I don't real-LY like many male singers or actors. I guess much of it is because I real-LY like to relate to people and I just don't find myself relating to the males all that much. I find it so much easier to relate to females.

13. My sister was born on November 20th. I was born on June 20th. My brother was born on April 20th. My youngest brother was born on December 27th. My mom had a c-section w/ him and wanted him to be born on the 20th, but the doctors said he wasn't ready.

14. I have found a new love. Skinny jeans and vests.

15. I love to write and dream of having books published one day.

16. I usually don't dream, but when I do, they're real-LY weird. And when I'm sick or getting sick, I have alot of real-LY weird dreams.

17. I have rather big feet for my body (size 8-9 1/2) and I tend to trip on things...alot. I also tend to trip on my own feet. I saw a sticker that said "I trip over flat surfaces" and that describes me perfectly. I also run into walls alot. I swear they just sump out at me.

18. I am pretty short at 5' 1 1/2". I am one of the shortest women in my family.

19. I can often be found talking to myself or my cat, Lucy. It drives my family crazy which makes me do it more of course. Haha.

20. Most people don't expect me to be a tattoo person, but I totally am. I already have 1 and do plan on adding more.

I guess that's all I can think of for now.

I Have Some People To Thank

So there are some people in my life who are very near and dear to my heart. These people are friends and family. They have been there for me in the good and bad times. They have pulled me out of dark pits of despair. They have talked to me and most importantly, they have been there just to listen. I want to take this time to thank them.

1. Brittany-I have known you for 4 years now. You are more than a best friend to me, you are a sister. I honestly don't know what I'd do w/o you. You have been there for me way more times than I can ever count. We've had some good times together. You've been there for me through thick and thin. You have seen me through some of the hardest times I've ever been through. You've spoken the truth to me even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. But you've always gotten me to think straight when my thinking was swayed by the circumstances I was going through. W/o you, I don't know if I'd still be walking w/ the Lord right now. I came real-LY close to walking away from Him and you pulled through for me at the exact moment I needed you. God used you to bring me back to Him. Right before you came into my life, I had been praying that God would send me just 1 godly girl who would always be there for me and I could be there for them and He brought me you. I love you to pieces. PS: Happy 23rd birthday!

2. Claire-I've known you for a while now, but I didn't real-LY start to get knowing you until Winter Camp. I had wanted to be in Brittany's group, but I am SO glad God put me in your group. If He hadn't, I don't think I would have found as much healing as I have. I wouldn't have ever talked about the biggest struggle of my life. You have been there for me and helped me more than you probably know. And I'm glad God had you take Krystle's place in the discipleship group when she left. I know He has great things in store for us individually and as a group. I'm always praying for you. I love you, hunny.

3. Alicia-Wow, what to say? I have known you since 7th grade. So we've known each other for 8 years! That's crazy. Now, you have real-LY been there for me through everything. I know there was a time when we drifted apart and didn't talk to each other for a while. Our lives seemed to take drastic turns away from each other. But I'm so glad we got back in touch and are becoming close again. I don't know what I'd do w/o you. I love you SO much! You have changed, grown, and matured so much. I am so proud of you! I'm so excited to see you grow in the Lord! You try your hardest to be the best mommy you can be to the most beautiful lil girl in the world, baby Kailey bug. I see it everyday. All I have to do is look in your eyes and I see the overwhelming love you have for her. It's awesome and I'm so glad I get to be a part of that. I love you!

4. Faith-I've never met you, but you've helped me SO much. You've pulled me through some very hard and dark times. You've made me see just how loved I am and that I'm not alone. You've made me laugh like no other. You've inspired me to go after what God has called me to do...no matter how hard it is and no matter how much it takes. Through God, ALL things are possible! You have told me time and time again how precious I am and how loved I am as a child of God. We don't talk much, but when we do, I just love and cherish our phone conversations. Talking w/ you instantly puts a smile on my face. You've taught me the importance of taking care of my temple. Keep in touch, eh? ;) I love you, my beautiful Canadian friend w/ the most beautiful singing voice.

5. April-I think I've known you about 4 1/2 years now. You make me laugh so much. You almost always have a smile on your face and you definitely have the light of God in your eyes. Just looking at your beautiful face brings me joy. You have been such an incredible, wonderful friend to me. I love you, my muchacha. :D

6. Lesley-You are such a godly young woman. You are such an inspiration to me to live my life to the fullest for God. Thank you for our myspace conversations. :) You have such a precious baby too. You and Matt definitely make beautiful babies. ;) Audrey is gorgeous. I love you, Les!

7. Stephanie-Gosh, I feel like I've known you forever. I miss you and I hope to start seeing you around more often. I pray for you often. You were there for me when I was scared and freaking out when my dad broke his leg. You knew what he was going through cuz you had been there not that long before. I real-LY appreciate you being there for me. Thank you. I love you, Steph.

8. Kim-I'm SO glad I found you and that you're my big sister. It's so weird looking at pictures of you because I totally see me and my mom in your face. We don't real-LY know each other that well yet, but you've been there for me more than I could have ever hoped for. I was afraid to find you. I was afraid you wouldn't want to know us. So when I found out you had been looking for my mom, I was so happy. This was more than I could have ever hoped for. You have the most beautiful, precious lil boy in the world. I love my lil nephew, Cody. He is so adorable. I hope to be able to me you, Cody, and Greg sometime soon. I love you, Sis!

9. Aunt Judy-You were there for me through all the crap I went through w/ my mom. I know I can always talk to you no matter what and you will always be there for me. I love spending time for you and am sorry I haven't been able to lately. Thank you for everything. I love you, Mom!

Now on to my Sugarland friends:

Molly, I sent a message to you directly, but wanted to more "publicly" say thank you for including me on this list...it means a lot...and I'm glad to be able to do my part to lift you up when needed, or just 'hang out' as a friend. You are a special young woman and it is good that you are working hard to do things for YOU and to move ahead in a positive direction. Keep it up! God bless you, Molly =)

Brittany said:

Because remember we are gonna be two old ladies together with my dogs eating your cats haha no but seriously if you ever need anything you know Im hear babe! Love you more than you know!

I said:

Yes, we will be friends forever. Cuz I am NEVER letting you out of my life. :) Hahaha. I told Stephanie about the cat ladies thing and she said now way. She said it's not possible because we're both too pretty and we'll find someone eventually. :D I know God had someone for both of us though...all in His timing. I will never forget that and we can laugh about being cat ladies until we're old and gray. Yes, I know you're always there for me and I will be forever grateful for that. I'm here for you too. You can always talk to me about anything. I love you to pieces, babe! :P

Claire said:

Molly, thank you so much for your kind words! I love you so much! I am blessed to know God has used me in your life... it is not my words or wisdom, it is ALL His! So I have to give glory to the King! But I want you to know, I am so very proud of you... I have seen you grow so much in this past year, it has blown my mind! You are brave... you are strong... you are amazing... & I see that God has His hand upon your life in every way! He has such an AMAZING plan for your life! It is an honor to be apart of it! It is an honor to help you through all of it! It is an honr to have your friendship, love, support, & trust! Thank you for all your prayers! I am here for you always & forever! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

I said:

Claire, you're welcome. I love you too...more than words could ever say. And you're right...God gets ALL the glory. He deserves all the glory. It was Him who ordained all this...my being in your group...our friendship...everything. And real-LY? Thank God. I was scared and have been asking Him if I have grown at all so it is a relief to know that someone has seen growth in me. I don't want to back slide ever again...because I did for a while and I came real-LY close to walking away from me...I'm SO glad I didn't. But I want to keep moving forward and growing in Him and I so desperately want to be used by Him. I can't wait to see His plans unfold for my life. I am glad God brought you into my life and that you get to be apart of it. Thank you. I am always here for you too. I love you, hunNy! :D

Faith said:

Dear Molly Lolly,

Someday we will meet. You are someone that God puts on my mind often. I hope to come and play near you someday. Thank you for being a courageous woman. We can only prosper just as our soul prospers. If we are not looking after ourselves, then we cannot prosper in every way. OHHHH to be your age again. You are wise and will continute to be wiser all the time because you heed the voice of God and none other do you follow. I love you to bits and appreciate you. It will be as we believe because faith without action is dead. We are only as frustrated as we want to be. God is amazing you. I will talk to you soon I hope.


Love and Prayers,
Sister FAITH

"Keep You" by Sugarland

We said, goodbye, tried a hand at magic
But we couldn't make us disappear
Not a day goes by I don't wish I had you
So in a way I'm glad you're still here
It's a bittersweet victory
Lovin' the ghost in front of me

Now I can't laugh, can't cry
And I can't run, can't hide
What do I gotta do
What do I gotta do to keep you
What do I gotta do to keep you from doing this to me

I wrote a couple of notes one in love, one in anger
They're lying there dying in the dresser drawer
Lived louder than my voice
Struggled through a stranger
He loved me 'til I loved you even more
It's a bittersweet victory
Knowin' someone else wanted me

Now I can't laugh, can't cry
And I can't run, can't hide
You get used to the pain
And numb to the sting
'Til you can't feel anything

You tried to explain, but I couldn't hear it
As if your words were my tears
Flowin' freely, warm and quiet
From the edges of my eyes, in my ears
Then all that disappears

Now I can't laugh, can't cry
And I can't run, can't hide
Now I can't laugh, can't cry
And I can't run, can't hide

What do I gotta do
What do I gotta do to keep you
What do I gotta do to keep you from going this to me
