update

ok... so this is what's going on.... i have 2 days left in the internship..... then i'm going to drive back to georgia and get stuff squared away there.... then i'm going to come back up here in 2 weeks.... the problem with that right now is that i have no place to live and the people that i was looking with both found a place but i can't afford to have a place by myself and i don't know of anybody else that's looking for a place.... most everybody has already found a place... oh and i don't have a job yet either.... i applied at 2 different places and neither one has called me back.... so that's about it in a nutshell..... oh yeah and i'm really extremely stressed out, had a panic attack last night and everything and i think i might be going crazy (lol) anyways that's all....

less than a week

so we have less than a week left and i still have no place to live.... i went job hunting today and i think that i might have one.... oh i just realized i have to go... love all...allison

what's going on....

so as most of you know the internship is almost over. we have less than 2 weeks left before i have to figure out what i'm going to do.... soooooo, now here comes the big moment when i let the cat out of the bag...... after much thought and prayer i have decided to move up here for now.... i'm going to be working part time and i think i might join staff part time, but i'm not quite so sure on that part.... to be totally and completely honest i am really really stressed out about the whole thing.... we went apartment hunting today and it didn't go very well... apartments are so expensive.... so now i'm looking into possibly renting from someone who owns a house.... what happens in people here at IHOP buy houses and then rent out rooms to people, so i think that's what i'm going to be doing..... i would really like to get an apartment somewhere, but that really isn't going to work out with what i need... i really sort of think that i am loosing my mind, honestly, because this is just so extremely overwhelming and i don't really know what i'm doing and it's just really really hard, especially with everything that i have been going through in the past however long it's been...... so i'm really really really needing your prayer and support right now because i am really extremely stressed out..... i'm trying to do what everybody else wants me to do and trying to please everybody else and i'm going insane trying to do that and keep everybody everywhere updated and all that i don't know what i'm doing

much better

so i don't know how many people have been praying for me or whatever but i just wanted to let everybody know that i am doing much better.... i can't explain what happened all i know is that i no longer have the heaviness that i had and i'm just doing alot better... still not 100% about everything but it's ok.... thanks for the prayer...

anyways i guess that's all.... oh and summer if you read this you have really been on my heart lately and i hope that everything is going ok.... i'm praying for you!!!!
love ya

Update

so i just wanted to let everybody know once again what's going on.... i must be honest, i'm not doing very good right now..... alot of stuff is going on that i really don't want to put on here because i don't know who all reads this.... anyways some of the things that are going on are...

a guy left.... long story.... and so we got a new guy yesterday.... something else i really don't want to get into on here... and we only have 5 weeks left and i don't know what i'm doing after this.... my life right now is just not going very well.... i mean besides the obvious of being here and all that good stuff.... i'm just really having a hard time recently.... this post is sort of depressing to... sorry about that it's just sort of the mood that i'm in right now.... everything just really seems to be going down hill.... i'm hopeing there's going to be an up hill sometime soon cuz this just really isn't that much fun....
this is the end of my sort of depressing post....
if anybody wants me to go into the stories just email me, but i don't want to do it on here....
love all

Update....

so i just wanted to let everybody know what's going on... things are going better for my fanily, but we still need your prayers because there's still alot going on.... thank you so much for your prayers... they've really really helped... i'm still not sure what i'm doing after this track, which is kind of frustrating because we only have like 5 weeks left... as of right now i have three options... i can move up here and get a job and just not be on staff but still come in at night and everything... (or i could be on staff) i could move to orlando.... a girl (intern) is starting a nightwatch at the house of prayer there and i could go and help her with that.... or i could move to atlanta.... if i move there i will get a nanny position somewhere and do ihop there.... the thing is it would actually be easier for me to move to atlanta because then i would be closer to my family and i would be able to get my stuff from the house.... if i moved up here it would be a little bit more difficult in that area but this is what i know..... so that would be easier.... because i know more ihop people up here..... anyways so i have to go but if ya'll could be praying for me about that it would be very very helpful.... anyways love all

What to do What to do???

so i have started trying to figure out what i'm going to do after this track..... as of right now i have registered on gonannies.com trying to find a job as a nanny in atlanta...... also, i'm looking for an apartment or something in atlanta.... somewhere to live.... i told daddy yesterday that really don't want to move to atlanta or kc or orlando (i could move there and help a girl with the nightwatch there) but i don't know what else to do... i can't just keep doing what i'm doing now (just sort of killing time until something happens) because i really need to figure out what i'm going to do.... especially seeing as we really don't have much longer before we're done here..... anyways please be praying that i will figure something out... love all

adventures in KC

so we have snow again..... i didn't even know it was supposed to snow... now i do.... so here's what happened... it rained all day yesterday... i didn't feel good already so that was interesting... we ate at like 730 and me and one of my roomates went to walmart at like 830.... when we left.... it was raining and there was a little bit of sleet... not much to really worry about... so i thought.... i was wrong though... so we are in walmart getting what we needed and everything and we were fixing to leave and this guy that works there looked at our buggy and he was like... you need to get more than that.... you've got to go out in the snow anyways.... i look at him and i'm like... it's snowing? he's like yeah... so we go pay for our stuff walk outside and it is coming down pretty bad... i mean it looked pretty and everything, but i had to drive my truck back to IHOP in it.... i was a little less than happy about it... i was actually really really mad..... so we load up the truck and everything and we're driving down the road..... there's a car behind us a little ways..... so what happens???
well the truck started going over in the other lane and so i go to pull it back... well apparently that was the wrong thing to do because we spin around (now remember my roommate is in the car to) so we spin around and slam into the curb..... i just knew we were going to flip, but only by God's grace we didn't..... where we were there was one of those drain things... but i think the only thing that hit was the front tire..... i think everything is ok though..... anyways i have to go or i would tell you more....

YAY!!!!

ok so it turns out that my family has worked it out to where Buddy is going to be ok staying at home.... THANK GOODNESS!!!!! i'm really really excited about that...... anyways so we had the signs and wonders conference this weekend.... it was really good but really really tiring.... i was sick with some kind of cold or something the whole time that seems like it's getting even worse now instead of better.... for most people it might have been a little tiring but for those on the nightwatch where you stay up all night and sleep during to day it's even worse..... you see where normally you are able to get up at like 2 or 3 or whatever i had to start getting up and like 12...... that would probably be the equivalent of normal people going to be at like 11 and getting up at like 4.... it was really bad.... you could tell in the sessions who was nightwatch because we were all asleep.... it didn't matter how hard we tried there was just no getting around it.... i mean i had to stand on the lines last night and i was falling asleep standing up i was so exausted..... anyways.... i got to see people from back home and that was really really good.... so i guess that's all
love all and i want to see people at the conference in March to....

a little bit more about the dog situation

i also wanted to let everybody know that he also has a kennel that he sleeps in at night. he also stays in it when we leave the house... right now he's having to stay in it alot because there's nobody there during the day.... oh and i wanted to say he's pretty good with kids.... he loves dylan to death even though he can be a little bit hyper.... sometimes he does go a little overboard, but usually he is great.... Dylan tends to sort of instigate alot of the stuff... oh yeah... he kind of likes to chew on toys though.... of course now it has gotten to the point where Dylan is feeding his toys to Buddy.... anyways.... like i said i would like to have it figured out by the end of this week..... he really needs somewhere to go.....
thank you all
i know this is asking alot and i really really appreciate your patience....
love ya

a really weird question????

ok so this is a little weird asking this but i'm going to ask anyways.... so in light of everything that's going on right now with my family and everything i have to figure out what to do with my dog..... this is where the weird question comes in....

ok so let me tell everybody about him first....
so his name is buddy and he's a boston terrier, if you know boston terriers they are really hiper... and buddy is no exception.... he tends to get really excited and go crazy like he jumps on the furniture (like chairs) and things and he really likes to give kisses.... he is an inside dog and he is house trained.... except on very few occasions he does NOT use the bathroom in the house... he is a fun dog and he will run and play with the best of them.... he likes being outside so when you let him out he sometimes won't come back and you have to go and chase him down.... he's not fixed or anything like that... i think that's about it....

so her goes that question.... i was wondering if somebody (that i know because i'm sure there may be some looking at this who i don't know) would mind taking him and letting him live with them for until March 27th.... you see if i can't find somewhere for him to stay then i am going to have to get rid of him.... i will supply his food and all of his needs other than that.... oh and one thing i forgot.... he hurt his back a couple of months ago and so he needs to be really careful about what he does (for instance, no jumping from higher places... etc.) anyways.... so if you would like to help me out with this please just let me know because i must figure something out within the next week....

you can email me little_gyrl_2006@hotmail.com
if you have any questions or anything like that or if you would like to help me out..
love to all and thanks alot

sorry this is so short and sort of depressing.....

winter weather

so i have been inside with nothing to do for like three days now..... if you haven't seen the weather for here it's not good.... we had about 2 or 3 inches of sleet(not snow) on the ground right now and it's still freezing rain...... it was sleeting friday when we woke up so they canceled EGS then it was sleeting again yesterday so they canceled it for yesterday and today..... so we have been sitting inside ALL day long and it's getting pretty boring.... the good thing is that i got some school done.... i would have gotten more done except for the simple fact of after about an hour or so of doing it you sort of get tired and plus there are alot of distractions in an apartment of 7 girls.... anyways..... so i hope everybody is doing good.... and i can't wait to see those of you who are coming for the Signs and Wonders conference in feb..... it's going to be GREAT!!! i'm really excited.... anyways that's all for now

love ya'll lots and lots

hey to all

so i decided that i would blog today as you could probably tell.... anyways so everything's going good here.... we are still doing orientation so it's really really busy for the track 1 people and not very busy for the track 2 people because we heard it all last time...... this gives me the perfect opportunity to do school so it's GREAT.... especially seeing as i found out the other day that i have to have it done by the 28th..... oh well it's all good cuz i'm almost done anyways...... so yeah.... God's doing alot as He always does and yeah..... probably the main thing that He is teaching me right now is to WAIT!!! this doesn't sound very hard.... really it doesn't or at least i didn't think it sounded to hard.... but when what you want is like right there in front of your face(or at least you think it is) and you can't have it it's sort of hard..... i guess that's where that saying comes in patience is a virtue.... and apparently i haven't aquired it yet..... oh well i guess that i will during this time.... so yeah i guess that's all
love all

Back at IHOP

so i just wanted to let everybody know that i made it back to IHOP.... just barely it seemed like but i did make it..... yesterday was hard leaving everybody again plus the other stuff that happened weren't to great either..... so here are the events of yesterday..... we get to the airport and everything... oh yeah it turns out we were able to meet daddy and he went to the airport with us, which was really good..... anyways, so we get to the airport and it turns out that they had overbooked the flight and so the lady was like you need to go straight to the person at the desk and get you a seat.... the thing was that i hadn't had anything to eat since early that morning and i was really hungry.... ok so i just changed my mind about writing about all of this..... i'm just really not in a very good place to write it right now.... i'll just leave it as yesterday was really rough... today really hasn't been much different either because i miss my family ALOT!!! and i just left them yesterday.... thanks once again to everybody who has helped me through finances or prayer in these last months and days..... it has helped ALOT!!!!! i can't express how much this really means to me.... thank you SO SO SO SO much.....

i love you all lots and lots
