"It's just like in the movies!"   [edit]
There are new people living in my building and the boys down stairs are kinda fun. I live in the student housing for my school. They have these new rules that the girls aren't allowed in the boys appartments and the boys aren't allowed in the girls appartment. This really sucks because I am a grown woman. Why can't I hang out with whoever I want to. I understand that everyone else who lives here are not twenty-five.

The boys downstairs asked me if I wanted to eat Chinese Chicken Salad with them and so I went downstairs and sat on the couch. (This is against the rules) We ate then I washed the dishes because they made me food. If I cooked for them then I would make them do the dishes.

By the sink is a big column and you can't see the person washing the dishes. One of the guys was drying the dishes. While I was washing the dishes the grown up lady, who is kinda in charge, that lives next door to the boys walked into the door jam and started to talk to the boys. I jsut stayed behind the column and tryed to make sure that she didn't see me. Then she left and then she came back. She stayed longer the second time. Then she actually left the building.

The guys started to laugh so hard. One of them said, "I have never done something like that before. I have only seen it on the movies!" Then I was finishing the dishes and they looked over the balchony and the guy that is "in charge" looked like he was coming and they were like, "Hurry leave. He is coming!!!" I quickly left and ran up to my apartment.

Then I found out I left my phone there. I told them jsut to throw the phone up to me but they were scared. I went inside and got a basket and a long scarf and tied the scarf to the basket and lowered it down to them and they put the phone inside and I pulled it back up. They laughed so hard and said that they had never done that before either. "It's just like in the movies!"

Healing over the phone?!   [edit]
The other day my all girl band had a show and one of my friends and her husband were going to come and watch us. I was excited because she hadn't seen us play yet.

That evening before the show she sent me a text message saying that she had a really bad sinus headache and that she was in alot of pain and that she wasn't going to come to the show. I was a bit sad but I was sad that she wasn't feeling well. So I thought that she needed to get healed.

So I called her and she didn't answer so I left her a message on her voice mail. I said, "I am going to pray for you right now over the phone ok? In the name of Jesus be healed and sinus pain be gone, nasal passages clear up in the name of Jesus. Amen" I was hopefull and thought that she would be healed and come to the show but she didn't.

That was Thursday night and Sunday night she called me and said that she was sorry for not coming to the show but that she was really in alot of pain. Then she told me that she didn't get my message until the next morning. All that night she was sneezing and in alot of pain. Then she checked her messages and there was mine and right after she listened to it she said that all the pain went away! She was healed right then and there! Praise God! I am always amazed no matter how many times he heals someone.

This story made me think. Does the person have to be present or hear the prayer to be healed? This is something to think about.

Losing and gaining weight!   [edit]
Last May I went home to California for my best friend from high school's wedding. I was a cow at that time. I also got to see my siblings and family. I was so much cubbier thank them. I was so discouraged! I was done being chubby! So I went on a diet. And in three and a half months I lost 30lbs! I was so excited!

In the past two weeks I have seen in my body that I am cubbier that I was just weeks ago! I have been lazy and have not been eating right and not exercising enough! Since I have been lazy I have been making myself more smoothies. I think that is really bad for me since there is so much sugars. Granted they are good sugars, they are still sugars.

Tomorrow is my cheat day. I am going to go crazy tomorrow and then on monday I am going to go to Down to Earth and buy some brown rice and I am going to start eating more veggies and meats and brown rice. I have to lose more weight! I am only half way there! I can't stop now!

Jesus never told us to pray for the sick!   [edit]
Since we have started our house church almost a year ago we have always prayed for people to be healed. Then one of the guys went to a house church conferance and learned more about healing. Jesus never told us to pray for the sick! He told us to heal the sick!

This revelation has totally changed how we pray for the sick and our confidence in praying for people. Now we don't ask God to heal them we tell the people the be healed in the name of Jesus! In Acts 3 John and Peter were walking past a crippled man and they told him to look at them and they said, "Silver and gold we don't have but what we have we give to you. In the name of Jesus stand up and walk!" He then stood up and walked! What a miracle! I didn't hear them ask God to heal the crippled man if it was His will. They didn't beg God to heal him. THEY healed the man. Jesus tells us in Matt 10 to go and heal the sick not pray for the sick.

So my friend went to his mom's house. She has, for years, been walking in pain. Everytime she walks her leg hurts really bad. He went over and had her sit on a chair and he held up her legs by her ankles and one leg was longer than the other by inches! So my friend told her to be healed! He told the leg to come and guess what? It grew! It lined up! He told her to get up and walk around and try to find the pain. She walked back and forth over the living room and she couldn't find any pain! She started to cry! She was so happy that she was healed! God is so amazing!

Then the other day I got the hiccups when I was hanging out with my friends. They wouldn't go away and so my friend asked if she could pray for me so that they would go away. I told her yeah then she prayed for me and begged God to heal me. So then I told her to tell my body to be healed in the name of Jesus. So she did and my hiccups stopped. She thought that I was holding them in so that she would believe. But I told her that I couldn't do that. She then thanked God.

The day after my hiccups left I was at school and I told my friend about my hiccups and my other friends mom. She was so excited about those stories! She went to the youth group where she volunteers and one of the high school girls came in and said that she had pulled a muscle in her leg and that it hurt really bad. So my friend told them my stories and she told them that they were going to heal the girl by talking to the body and telling it to be healed in the name of Jesus. They did and all the pain went away! She was jumping and running all around! They then wanted to pray for everyone!

God is so amazing! I love Him to death!

Two free drinks!   [edit]
The other day my all girl band had a show at this bar. After our show I made my way to the bar to get myself a Hornsby and there was a guy at the bar and he offered to buy me a drink. I said sure and then I was wondering how long I had to talk to him since I get a free drink from him. So I talked for about five minutes and when the conversation slowed down I thanked him for the drink and walked away.

Then I was sitting with the girls and another girl was sitting with us on the couch at the bar, she was takeing a picture of us. This military guy walked up to us and leaned over to me and said, "I'm Bobby. Can I buy you a drink?" We were in the middle of taking a picture and I was being distracted by this guy! What was he thinking? Didn't it seem obvious that we were busy? So I said to him after the picture that I wanted a Hornsby. He didn't get it so I walked with him to the bar and told the bar tender and got what I wanted. Then again I was wondering how long I had to talk to this guy. So I asked him why he was there, for the show or the bar. He said that he was best friends with the lead singer of the band that was playing at that time. I was surprised because my old band had played many shows with that band and I had never seen this guy before. Then he asked if I wanted him to introduce me to the band. I told him I already knew them. He seemed surprised. Then he asked me how long I played the drums. I was surprised at the question because I don't play the drums. I play the bass. I told him that and all he said was oh. Then he asked if I had a myspace and I said I did, (I know I know shame on me) he asked what it was and I said, "That Bass Player Chick" he seemed surprised and asked, "Are you serious?" Weird guy. Then he asked if I wanted him to introduce me to the other band and I told him that I knew them too. He seemed surprised that that too. Then he asked me if the drumset on the stage was mine. Then I looked at him and said, "I don't play the drums! I play the bass. Thanks for the drink." Then I walked away! What a weird guy!

New hair new life!   [edit]
I have been on a diet and have been losing weight. I have been feeling alot better about myself lately. Then I was hanging out with my friends and one of their other friends. He is a hair dresser. The subject of my band came up and the fact that we opened for My Chemical Romance. Then the hair dresser friend looked at me and exclaimed, "You are a rockstar?! There is nothing about you that says rockstar!" Then he asked if he could do my hair and I said sure.

I went to his shop and he cut my hair and it looked so good! It made me feel so much more confident and prettier. I love it! It is strange to me how a hair cut and change how I veiw myself!
