Just be silly

We had our God's Girls Sunday School party on Saturday. I was debating on wether or not to go because I really don't do well in social settings. I had a friend that was going to go with me but she backed out at the last minute. I was really stressing about going and if I would fit in or feel comfortable-I kind of felt like I was back in highschool for a moment. I ended up going and it was nice to get to know some people better and on a different level. As I watched some of the ladies they seemed so comfortable just going up to people they didn't know and talking to them. They felt so comfortable in a house they had never been to. I don't know what makes me different or what makes me feel so different than other people. I have never felt like a grown up although the mirror tells me I am. People were dressing up in silly costumes and having a pretend fashion show and seemed to really like it. I would have been terrified. When my mom comes down to visit she always takes everyone to ride go carts-everyone has a great time but me. I sit on the sidelines and watch, my mom tells me I need to learn how to have fun. How is that learned I ask you and why did everyone else learn it but me? Just something to think about.

On a different note, the 13.1 marathon is this Saturday. Pray for Rhonda and I as we have been really working hard(well up until April and then like ding dongs we decided to take it easy.) That wasn't a concious decision but with ball, pms and scheduling conflicts that is what happened and I don't feel nearly as prepared as I felt a month ago.

God Bless
