I get to sleep in!!

I don't have to watch Josh tomorrow...so I get to sleep in!! I'm so excited. Yesterday ended up being a pretty nice day. Yesterday, I went to get away...alone with God...so when I left here I got in the car and just started driving. I had no clue where I was going...I first headed toward McDonough...but then turned around and rode out 155 toward Fairview. I ended up at Panola State Park. Right before I got there my mom called and she didn't like the idea of me at the park all by myself...she told me stories about people missing and their cars will be found parked at a park. I tried the "I'm not alone...God's with me" and that didn't work. So, anyways...I went ahead and went to the park. I got out and tried to go walking on a trail and I got attacked by a flying insect with a stinger...then I stumped my toe...so then I figured that I wasn't equipped to do any hiking in my flip flops without bug spray...so I went back to the car. I just set in the car and had a meeting with God. It was nice. I'm glad that I'm getting back on track with where we had left off after all the work I did with the Inner Healing class at No Longer Bound. I just kind of shut God off when it got too difficult or started to cost me something. I can't go on like that any more. Then Zach called and wanted to meet me to eat and see a movie...so I met him. We ended up going to the Ford dealership and checking out the Mustangs...which I have decided is too expensive for what you get. If I could get the 40,000 one for the 25,000 price....I'd say where do I sign. But the $25,000 ones aren't worth it. So, we actually got to looking at the Five Hundred. I was actually impressed. We saw a black one with leather seats and nice wood grain that I love....one even had the DVD entertainment unit in it. Zach thinks I should check out the Mazda6. He is about to get a Mazda3...hopefully this week. This would free me from having my name on a title and free a payment from the parents. Then the parents are going to trade the Explorer for what I want and pay the note until I start working in about a year. This would give them cheaper payments as well. The we went and saw Superman. I really liked it. They did a great job at keeping it from being so modernized. They had a lot of special effects but they kept them true to the original Superman movies. I didn't realize that it was going to be a continuation to the old movies. I would of watched the old ones again first if I knew that. I also think that it was a bit confusing because of that fact. Not confusing for me...but for the kids younger than me who haven't seen the first Superman movies. I loved the new Superman actor...they did a great job picking him. I wasn't too sure from seeing him in interviews...but I now agree that he was a good choice. The movie made me fall in love with Superman all over again.

I have been watching the FOX news channel all day today. It saddens me to see what is going on over in the Middle East....especially when they showed the children who have been shut off in bomb shelters for days. They interviewed one guy about my age who was part of a group that was going from shelter to shelter entertaining the kids, etc. It made me want to hop on a plane and do the same. I pray that God gives them peace during this time of war. I have seen my share of violence during my travels to other countries...but still growing up in America...I have no clue what it must be like. I'm afraid that my children might not be able to say the same thing.
