Storytelling

You know how some people are awful storytellers, you know they tell a pointless story and then look at you like it's the funniest thing ever.  Well thats what it is like to live with Amanda aka Smallz.  Tonight she repeatedly told weird stories and thought they were the funniest things in the world.  One involved a hamster (that turned out to be a guinea pig) learning how to say row (which is so simple).  Oh how I love living with younger girls.  Amanda and Bess you guys bring so much joy and laughter into my life here in the 104. Im so thankful for you guys :)

PS- And then I found ten dollars

Bullied

Do you ever feel bullied when you are in a sandwich line?  Im talking any kind of sandwich line (GDH, Springs, Subway...) anything that you have to tell the person what you want on your sandwich.  I DO.  I always feel pressure when im in line to get things on my sandwich that they ask if I want on it.  Im a plain kind of gal when it comes to eating sandwiches, i like them plain and dry... just meat and cheese.  So when it comes my time in the GDH sub line i always freak out.  Every time I tell them no I dont want mayo or mustard on my sandwich they look at me like im crazy, the same happens when they get to the veggies.  I always feel as if I should get something extra and just take it off when I get to my table, but I cant bring myself to do it because it would be wasteful.  Im torn inside and feel the pressure weighing down on me.

I think this feeling of pressure finds its root in my sin of people pleasing.  I always want to make others happy and do whatever I can to make them think higher of me and not be disappointed in me.  I pray that I can be so satisfied in Christ that it wouldnt matter what others are thinking about me, that God would be the only one that I look to in all situations.
