Have you noticed that people follow blogs, facebook, or things like twitter just because a person is famous. Of course half the things they say and do on these sites are complete nonsense, or are just plain boring. I will admit that I do this, but I at least follow people that when they do post something it's interesting.
The things that some of these celebrities post no one would even give them a second thought if they were just normal people like you and me. Then these people won't follow people who really do have interesting and relevant things to say just because they are nobodies.
I'm not just saying this because it's mostly just my friends and family following me either. I'm speaking generally. Whether you think my writing, blog, is interesting or not is entirely up to you, and I'm not going to sit here and complain that I don't have enough followers. Why? Because I don't have a blog just to get people to read it. Yes that is a huge part of putting it on the internet, but I do it more because I love to write. What's the point of writing if you don't put it where people can see it.
I think you just got me off the subject. Which is following what someone does just because they are famous. Liking, or finding what they have to say hilarious is one thing. But you should not worship them so much they you will follow them say on twitter when the most interesting thing they have to say is "I just woke up", "I'm going for a bike ride", or "I'm tired time for bed." That's boring no matter who you are, so don't follow the masses and be yourself.

Goodbye Hair
As most of you know I've had long hair for about 4 years now. I've been growing it for around 5, and I'd always been planning on donating it when it got longer. It hadn't been getting any longer for about a year now so I decided it was time. Here's what it looked like:
As you can see it was completely down my back. The amount of hair that got donated to Locks of Love was 21 inches. That's only what got donated. Which means that my head has now a good 2 feet less of hair. Not only is it short but I had it dyed a red. It's super cute, and I love it. And then this happened:
Well, what do you think? Short isn't it? I'm not one of those people who get overly attached to their hair so cutting it off was the easiest thing. I just set up the appointment and had it done. A lot of people were surprised that I actually did it. The thing is that short hair is what's normal for me.
Growing up all I ever had was short hair. My mother didn't want to have to deal with long. So, me having long hair was the change, that was what was different for me. It's just not as noticable and such a rash change. You don't see a person one day with short hair and then the next with long, unless it's fake. But when I person chops off 2 feet of hair that you notice, and if you don't there's something wrong with you.
That's all for now. Hope you like what I've done with my hair. Talk to you all next week.

Colorado
I'm back. Well, I've been back since Sunday, but I've been too busy sleeping and relaxing to write. You have no idea how great it is to sleep in your own bed after sleeping on a futon for 3 days. I'm not really complaining cause it could have been worse. I'm just saying that I really did miss my bed.
I know there are a lot of people who went on this trip who have amazing stories about some of the people they met while out knocking on doors. But I'd be lying if I said that was me. What affected me most wasn't like that.
What I will remember most was getting to know the people who go to Prairie View Community Church. Myself and five other girls stayed with the Harrington family, and they were some of the nicest people I've ever met.
I was able to meet people who were still following God even when they were going through hard times. It was inspiring for me to know these people, and to hear their stories. It's encouraged my walk with God, and I hope to some day see them all again. Saturday night I was used as a jungle gym by two of the cutest kids, and I'll certainly miss them too. It's hard to believe she's two years older then her brother.
I know I still haven't said much, but sometimes you don't have to say a lot to get your point across. This trip has fired me up for God. It's shown me that you have to keep following Him even when you feel you can't. The people I've met and gotten to know on this trip are one's that I will never forget, because they have changed me. And I thank God for that.

A New Mission
I'm getting ready to Colorado with my House Church. Last August we went to Seattle, and you can read all about that trip on my blog. Just head down to August of 2009. This trip is going to be much of the same.
We're driving to the town of Parker, Colorado. We'll be knocking on doors to let people know about the church service on Saturday night. I predict that it's going to be just as much fun as the previous trip.
It'll be a great chance to get to know people in the group better. Or to just get to know my friends better. I'm excited. I know I'm not saying much now, but when I get back I might have more to say then.
