I have made the decision to not give prayer requests at places like small groups, LINKS class, sunday school, or in similar settings. My reasons are as follows:
1) My requests are normally personal and in-depth, and while I don't care about the personal part, the in-depth part makes it so they take longer to explain than actually pray for, and I know some people get bored and disinterested..
2) People should want to know what I need prayer for, not be required to listen to me talk about how crappy my life is and how I want God to fix it.
3) it is more important I pray for them than they pray for me.
and the last important one I have:
4) I don't "need" prayer. I need companionship and friendship more than prayer normally.
Anyways... I don't know if my choice was the right one or what, but I hope that people will notice and ask me and I can by example cause people to rethink their opinions and views of Prayer.
On to other News:
Valentines day was yesterday, I sent a Val to 3 people, 2 have gotten them, Emma and Lexy, but Alex hasn't said anything about her getting one yet. Emma came back and yelled at me =P I guess she didn't want one this year. I sent Lexy a necklace I got in New Zealand, she loved that and swears she is not going to take it off =P (I think it's cause she can't figure out how though, and I have already told her I think that ;) ). Alex... I have to wait for a response from her =P
Other that that, I got to use a chainsaw yesterday, and fell in love =) but... I almost took my leg off (don't tell my dad)...
Anyways... I guess I'll update when I can, ttyl!

(this is kurry btw) nice nice. I need a blog. Actully I'm way to lazy to maintain one. Someone didn't wish me a happy valentines day OR a happy birthday. Yeah that would be you Joshy-posh.
I did deactivate facebook though, so lack of comms would be my fault. Skype, loser.
Anyways, just wanted to say hi and let you know I still read your blog. So ttyl
