A Narniawebbers blog for all her friends.

I realized that I was spending too much time on the computer and I was too involved on the C&P when my baby sister (who I was supposed to be watching) in my arms was playing with something behind my back making baby ‘OOOOOOOO’ and ‘MMMMMM’ sounds.
It took me 2 minutes to realize that those were not her normal ‘playful baby noises’. I turned around and saw her stuffing her face with the chocolate bridge mix that I was saving for my mother. Her chubby cheeks stuffed with chocolate goodies, she turned to me and GRINNED and said “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

*sighs and burries her head in her hands* I am really a lousy sister. Must keep track of the baby.
Do not worry, she is not a tiny baby we are talking about a soon to be 16 month old here. She CAN eat chocolate, but I’d just rather she didn’t.
Oh, and I removed what chocolate she had in her mouth.

Mum shall be very surprised, and delighted I’m sure, when she comes home to a chewed up wad of chocolates for her! How lovely!

Thanks for reading everyone!
*hugs*

She immediately changed the subject again “But guess what?! I’m wearing Matt’s belt! *annoying giggle*” “Why is that?” Said ‘smarter-than-a-microwave-girl’ “Because I’m wearing pants that are too big for me. *annoying giggle* He had to put another hole through it. *giggles again*”
By then I had too much…. I can’t stand that stuff. I walked out.
As soon as I walked out of the restroom with my sisters we walked into Dane’s dad in the hallway. It took all me effort to not tell him about the incident in the bathroom. But I managed. We just talked about life, neighbors…. I have plenty to say about that. *rolls eyes* And some other topics of intelligence. It was a nice relief from giggley-goofballs.
[Ends story]

I would not have as much of a problem with that discussion going on in the bathroom if we were at a public school, or a movie theatre, or even if we were out in a store. But a church?????!!!! What is wrong with this? Why are these ‘young ladies of God’ babbling on about boys in the bathroom in CHURCH???? Actually why are they talking about them like that at all?

I’m not saying that I don’t have guy friends, I’m not even saying that I don’t talk about them. I DO have guy friends, and I DO talk about some of them, but NOT like that. They are not ‘possible boyfriends’ to me. They are brothers in Christ. Why is the church not teaching this? Why are these kid’s parents not teaching this? Why is this not a normal thing? Why is it expected of me to look at my brothers in Christ and see them in a romantic way? Does this not creep anyone else out but me?
*sigh*

I guess that’s enough complaining from me for now. I have a million other thoughts on this subject, but for now I shall keep them to myself. I’ll bring it up again some other day when I have more time.

So to close I would like to say something to my guy friends;
My dear brothers, please forgive me if I have even so much as appeared as if I was interested in you in another way than just being siblings. I do love you all, but not in that way. I appreciate your friendship and your encouragement when you give it. But I cannot see you as anything else than a brother in Christ.
I would like to be so audacious to ask that you would be kind enough to return the favor and see me as nothing more than a sister in Christ.

And to my gal friends;
Please I beg you with all my heart, do NOT ruin any relationship you have with a fellow brother in Christ by looking at your relationship through a romantic eye. You have no idea how much that could hurt a good friendship with your brother. I have heard that it is really hard to not do so, but I am asking you to put forth the effort to remain pure for your future husband and wait for God to bring him, instead of looking for him through your group of friends.

Well that’s all for now everyone, thanks for listening.
*hugs to you all*

First of all I’d like to start off with a quick update. (Everyone keeps asking me about what’s going on in ‘my side of the world’. *laughs*) I do appologize for not keeping up to date with you guys but I’ve been CRAZY busy. Here is a quick look at this week alone. (Which is not even one of our horribly busy weeks.)

Yesterday (Sunday) we had 2, 3 hour long, meetings at an old church, tonight we have another one, and Tuesday we have the last one.
Wednesday is our ‘play’ and the public tea party. Not interested in either one. But I have to do it anyway. I’ve got a part in the play. (*clears throat* Only a few people know about that….. and uh, well… who I play.)
Thursday is Women’s bible study, and we crash Thursday afternoon and have another meeting Thursday night.
Friday is something big… I just don’t remember. And I don’t remember what Saturday is. *sighs*
This is just what is scheduled. Tons of other things pop up during the day. (You know… life)

Now… onto topic.

While we were at an old church this week I was saddened by what their teenagers behavior and that it was accepted as ‘normal’. As a church they should be encouraging teens to remain pure. Not to hang all over each other and flirt with anyone who you consider ‘cute’.

[Starts into a story]
While I was in the women’s restroom waiting for my little sisters to hurry up 2 young bubble headed ditzy chicks came into the restroom giggling and chatting.
The one (who, by the way, went into the stall) said “And I KNEW they were talking about me” *annoying giggle* “Awww, I just think that ‘so-n-so’ is SOOOOOO cute especially after he said that about me” (I didn’t catch the name I was too busy trying to keep from regurgitating from the overdose of giggly maniacs) The other one, who seemed to have a bit more sense than a microwave… unlike the first one, said “Yeah, he is pretty sweet”

The ‘stall-girl’ then changed the subject and said “Yeah, but you know Dane’s dad? Well he is SOOOOO scary. Every time I see him I get scared. * annoying giggle* I won’t talk to him.” The microwave girl asked her why that was, to which she replied “I don’t know, he just is scary to me.”

[pause story] Now please understand, this is an old church of mine. I had gone to that church for 4 years before we left. I know Dane, and his dad. I like talking to Dane’s dad. He is very smart, he is exceptionally nice, and he loves to talk to teens, and he wants to listen to what you say. He is also one of the few people who I can have an intelligent conversation with at that church. Aside from that, when she mentioned Dane, I realized that if she is even close to Dane’s age she must be 13 – 15! We’re not talking about someone my age people! We’re talking about YOUNG kids.

*yawns* Good heavens. I am EXHAUSTED! I have been working on the computer trying to get these websites up and working for DAYS!
Let me see… Ryan and I met at Starbucks on Tuesday night (well, not met, I mean I’ve known him for 7 years. But I mean went to Starbucks together….) that is when we first started on these websites. We’ve been working on it ever since. I’ve actually lost sleep over this. *argh!*
They’re not even close to being done. With all the different pages on these websites, it’s going to take us forever to do them.
But we knew that was what was at stake when we agreed to do this.

I’m off to go work on the websites!
*hugs to all*
