Pride issue.

So Go-Hawks made it to play offs! woo we had a game at Webster City last night. 37 to 6 I guess they were suppose to be really good!? The night was way cold it had a chance to snow. The bleachers were pretty janky. Every time we jumped up and down the bleachers would wabble everywhere. We have had a pretty good season this year for freshman, JV, and v. The next game we have is at Decorah! We only lost 1 game against West Delaware. The saddest thing is our last home game we were voted worst fan/crowd members. Why don't we all have sports man ship. Like seriously its just football. I mean don't get me wrong i love watching football and cheering for my team, but we don't have to put down the other team they already feel bad enough getting defeated. Well for all of the teams we played out their I'm way sorry for or fan/crowd behavior. Finding this out kinda reminded me of how mean i can be sometimes. I have been trying so hard just not to say a little comment that someone might say that their not affected by but they really are. I was listening to this song in the car early on the way to cedar falls....

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in
Trying to fade into the faces
The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat
And quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances
Are better out on the road

CHORUS
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ

Chorus (2x)
If we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching
Why aren't His hands healing
Why aren't His words teaching
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going
Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus is the way
This song really hit me today...it just shows me that even though i say I'm a christian i don't always act it. Like i said before easier said than done. My favorite part is the chorus...why aren't we doing more to show his ways? I know I'm guilty of this i mean i don't want to get made fun of or stand out in the crowd. I don't want to be looked or laughed at. Its crazy how someone will give up their life for us and we don't even have the courage to stand up for him.

A friend in need....

So my friends comes and gives me a note after our first session of ITED's. I get back into the room and start reading the note. This note was telling how her ex boyfriend had called her the night before making fun of how I passed wail giving blood. Not that funny if you ask me. See last fall I gave blood and did fine until about 6 hrs later when I passed out. So i decided to skip in the spring to give blood, but than I felt bad not helping people in need. I maned up and decided to give blood again this fall. Well things were going great when all of a sudden they pulled out the needle (wish I could tell you this great epic story of how the needle came out and blood was squirting ever where but that would be a lie.) Really I just passed out instantly...than they made me sit there for about 30 mins and they checked me over again. They said everything was lookin pretty good so they sat me up next thing I knew I was laying back on the bed again. 20 mins had passed and I could hear them calling my mom and a ambulance. I ending going to the E.R. I went into the emergency room around 11 ish and than got to home around 3 ish. I guess im just anemic, but they tested for that and they said I had 40% iron in my blood. I'm and anemic WEIRD!! anyway back to my story this guy thought it was really funny that I had passed out which is dumb. He doesn't like me because he thinks that im the reason why him and my friend broke up( which is not true) My friend could handle talking to him so she hung up on him...he later than txted her and said that it was her fault I passed out.  That's not even right she wasn't even in the room or let alone the same level as me at the time. Its sad how pathetic someone is making fun of someone who has a medical problem. Even though I shoved it off like I didn't care what he said, well I do care and I'm very embarrassed about happened but its not my fault I cant control my body. I don't see how someone can hate a person as much as they to tear them apart at such a weak point in there life. I have to be honest I wasn't very nice to him when him and my friend were dating. I wasn't just mad at him I was mad at both of them but they both apologized to be but I could tell my friend really meant it because we saw a change in her. The guy on the other hand just said sorry and thought it was all cool. He didn't even know why he was saying sorry. He doesn't see how she acts around us and than him. He didn't bring the good side out of her and he didn't treat her right. I guess in the end I could have been nicer to him. Its really hard ignoring this situation but I know all he wants is a reaction by me but I wont give him the satisfaction of that. In the bible it says love all your enemies. Easier said than done. Anyway I want to leave off with a quote (1 of my favorites)
Your life will not always be easy,
 but just remember to be
kind because everyone you meet
is fighting some kind of  battle...
