I finally got my purity ring that I had been vigorously searching for for about a month. It has three stones to represent how God has taken care of me and kept me in the past, how he's keeping me and taking care of me in the present and (for the biggest middle stone) how he's got so much more in store for me in the future that is unseen...just as He is. Also, the three stone's represent the Holy Trinity: Father, Spirit and Son. 3-in-1. I like the ring a lot. The more I wear it the more that I like it. I guess I should be getting acquainted with is as best I can because I will be wearing it until I get engaged...and if I don't get engaged/married I may end up wearing it forever, but I don't want to think negatively like that. I really want a family of my own.
Speaking of family, I'm at home now with my mom dad sister(Gabby) and my aunt and cousin. Things are cool except that my aunt tends to be a little on the annoying side. I am just mature enough now that I don't allow myself to get upset because I know that she means well and is just being herself and I love her anyway and I'm glad she came to visit us. I'm leaving tomorrow. I really wish I could stay for a week, but I am excited about getting back to school and working on English with the Challenge students. They're SOOO smart. It's awesome to be around them. They make me feel old though.
Hopefully when I get back to Atlanta tomorrow morning I can spend the day with Sean and his family. They are so sweet. I really like being around them. Is that weird? I just think they're cool and funny and they remind me of my own family regardless of the differences. Oh well, I'm tired of writing right now. I should be downstairs watching Finding Nemo with mommy, Gabby and my cousin (while waiting for Cicely to get here so I will have a partner in crime). I love my Gabby. She's so sweet and she's getting to be so big. I'm so happy that God has blessed me with two sisters by blood and so many other sisters that aren't related to me but I feel like they are. It's nice to have meaningful connections with people. But like I said, I am going now. I'll leave you with what's been stuck in my head...
