Humeur actuelle :  empreint de gratitude
my dear friends-

As many of you know, my life has been forever changed by suicide. It robbed me of a grandfather before I was born. I've lost several friends to it. I have almost lost some of my best friends. Even I have almost gone down that dark road more than once.

In response to this, I have decided to participate in the Missoula Out Of The Darkness community walk this coming Saturday, September 12th, 2009. The walk goes from 11 am until 2 pm.

Since the walk is this coming Saturday morning, I have set a fundraising goal of $500 that I would like to see met. I have faith that it will be surpassed... Any donation will be greatly appreciated, even the smallest bit.

If you cannot support me financially, then please consider joining me in prayer. (or think good thoughts too, if that's more your style...) Pray for me, as I walk what might be the hardest 3 hour walk I have ever taken. Pray for those who you know have struggled or succumb to this. Pray that every cent raised by me and the other thousands who walk would be used wisely, to help others receive the help they so desperately need, to fund research into better resources for those struggling with depression...

A bit about the AFSW:
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is at the forefront of research, education and prevention initiatives designed to reduce loss of life from suicide. With more than 33,000 lives lost each year in the U.S. and over one million worldwide, the importance of AFSP's mission has never been greater, nor our work more urgent.

My Reasons for Walking:
- because if it hadn't been for the grace of God and some very good friends, I would have committed suicide in either 1996 or 2007.
- for my grandfather, whom I never had the chance to meet. He died 10 or so years before I was born.
- June 18th, 2008. (don't ask, cause I won't discuss it.)
- for my friends, some of whom have survived, some of whom haven't.


SO.
That being said, if you would please consider supporting me either financially or with prayer/good thoughts, I would tremendously appreciate it.

and if you are currently struggling with this, please, please, please... I urge you, get help! there are resources available. You are not alone in this, and eventually this too will pass. Talk to a friend, clergy, prof/teacher, or call 1-800-suicide (it's the number for the National Hopeline Network) Just... please... don't give up.

thanks for reading this, friends. may you be blessed.

Since the last time I posted...

let's see what happened in the months since I posted:

-I moved one of my best friends to Seattle. I love cross-country drives. I hate driving through North Dakota.

- My sister moved home from NYC. It's been a series of ups and downs with her since, but I still sleep much better knowing she's safe and well.

- I worked 4 jobs at once. I'm now down to 2. I work at a coffee shop and I substitute teach. :D

- I turned 25. yay.

-Kyle kidnapped me, drove me to the U.P. and proposed. I said yes and gave him brownie points for creativity.

- My cousin was moved into a nursing home. He's still not able to move. He is conscious. It breaks my heart.

- I applied to go back for teaching certification at the University of Montana. We'll see what happens.

and that's about it. I'd type more in detail, but alas, I have a sub job in the morning and I'm trying to stave off illness... so goodnight friends. Until next time... remember- always tip your baristas! :)

if any of you are the praying type, toss some up for my cousin.
if you aren't the praying type, then think some good thoughts for him please.

 I guess he was in a pretty serious car crash yesterday (10/31)... and from what I was told, he had to be airlifted. (which means it was REALLY bad.)

I don't know more than that... but if I find anything out, I'll let you know.

...and the gravity of all of this is now starting to hit me like a ton of bricks


I honestly don't know if I have ever been more thankful in my life as I have been since wednesday. 
(so why am I in tears?!)


don't ever take anyone for granted, friends. be kind and gentle in what you say to them, how you treat them. take care to always show them how much they mean to you. cause you never know if and when they will be taken from you...

Humeur actuelle :  méditatif
so the other day was father's day. those of you who know me, you know that my dad and I have had a tense relationship in the past. Over the past year, I think I've truly learned to appreciate all the good my dad has done. It's a choice to focus on all that, cause my dad, while he's done the absolute best he knows how to do, he's also done a lot of harm...

I think, when it all comes down to it, he and I truly are more alike than I even realize.
I can only hope, however, that it's in the ways that are good...
(I know I have a short fuse, just like him...that's not so good... meh.)

Jamie from TWLOHA said it best:
Love is a thousand things but at the center is a choice. It is a choice to love people. Left to myself, i get quiet and bitter and critical. i get angry. i feel sorry for myself. It is a choice to love people. It is a choice to be kind. It is a choice to be patient, to be honest, to live with grace.

I hope all is well with you all...

Humeur actuelle :  occupé
it's weird to think that in less than 2 weeks, I'll be a college graduate.

and I still don't know what's gonna happen or where I'm going.
I'm looking at staying here in Mqt, for the time being...
and I'm also looking at other options.

options that will be discussed when it's not quarter to 2 am...

there are so many things I wish I had done differently, but I'm so glad things are as they are now...


and I'm gonna miss the U.P. when I leave it.
I love it here.
it's home.

Humeur actuelle :  endormi
so I meant to write this last Thursday... oops!

so the past 4 years have been quite an adventure, full of all kinds of unimaginable fun times, loads of gut-busting laughter, many a wrestling match and all kinds of treasured little kisses on the forehead from this one guy whom I dearly love.

so, even though I know he’ll probably never see it, Kyle, you’ve made the past four years (that we’ve been together, not including the 3 before it) that much better.
thank you.


also, on a completely unrelated note, that was a sick joke you played on us, Ma Nature... but I’m certainly thankful for a snowday!

Think about it: to believe some guy who says he’s the Christ, that he’s God incarnate... he’d have to either be who he says he is or he’d have to be a lunatic, a psychopath. But generally,lunatics and psychopaths probably don’t die for false claims...

You know, if I had any idea what following Christ was going to entail when I started out on this adventure, I would have been like "hahahahaNO."

But you know, when I started out on this, I saw Jesus, who knew how it felt to be a pariah, to be unwanted... and I saw that He loved me when it seemed like no one else did. He loved me no matter what I did, regardless of who I was. He loved me for me (and GUESS WHAT?! HE STILL DOES! how cool is that!)
I saw Someone who was willing to give everything they had because He wanted me to share in life (both in the here and in the everafter) with Him.

And now... now that I’ve seen what He has done for me, with me, in me... I don’t think I can turn back. I don’t want to. He’s healing me from the pains of my youth. He’s provided miraculously when I’ve needed it. He has used me to help others and He has done so much more...
In Him I have purpose. I have worth. I have joy, courage, peace.  I have life ABUNDANT!!!
Through Christ, I am learning to love others as they inherantly deserve. I am learning to love myself as I deserve. I am learning to see the world in a new way.

So while some of you may not believe as I do, please don’t try to take this away from me. And for the record, I was never forced or coerced into this- it was of my own volition. And while I cannot prove this with cold, hard scientific evidence, I still believe it’s true, even at the risk of credibility...

Even if I find out that, upon my passing, that all of this was a farce, it will still have been worth it. I don’t see how I am missing out on anything. If anything, I do believe my life has been much better since coming into relationship with Christ.

So, with all that being said, I guess I shall wish you all a blessed and joyful Easter!
may you who celebrate it enjoy the insanity and adventure that is faith in Christ!

Every day is a journal page
Every man holds a quill and ink
And there's plenty of room for writing in
All we do is believe and think
So will you compose a curse
Or will today bring the blessing
Fill the page with rhyming verse
Or some random sketching

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
That somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much

Every day is a bank account
And time is our currency
So nobody's rich, nobody's poor
We get 24 hours each
So how are you gonna spend
Will you invest, or squander
Try to get ahead
Or help someone who's under

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
That somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much
Life means so much
Life means so much

Has anybody ever lived who knew the value of a life
And don't you think giving is all
What proves the worth of yours and mine

Teach us to count the days
Teach us to make the days count
Lead us in better ways
That somehow our souls forgot
Life means so much

Every day is a gift you've been given
Make the most of the time every minute you're living

"Life Means So Much" - Chris Rice


This is the very lesson my friend taught me, without ever saying so much.
I'll miss you, Morgan.
May angels lead you in.
