you're the best rach. efes is going to be soooo good. they have the best fallafel i've ever had w. this warm flat bread. to die for. i'm ok, i just feel overwhelmed by a few things in my life, the planning process is so exciting but there are so many expectations and politics involved. i just want to be happy and plan a beautiful wedding to the man i love. the end. i can't wait to see you and have a drink for the first time. how fun!!!

leslie, i know that every girl secretly strives to be perfect. you are not alone in this horrible journey to be anything but ourselves. it's frustrating feeling like we have to live up to some imaginary expectation. i wish you knew what people think of you. personally, i look up to you more than any christian woman i've ever met. you are wonderful! truly a blessing. i feel like you and i are a lot alike when it comes to emotions. stress is hard, especially knowing that it gets you nowhere further in the situation. if you need any help planning things or just learning to bake (because i sure as heck need to learn soon, so i can woo a man in the kitchen) i would love to be of assistance. heck, i am just coming up with reasons why we need to hang out. truth is, i just want to hang out ( ... )

i can't tell you how much i adore you. your words were like the sound of rain to me. i feel so blessed to have such an incredible friend and sister in Christ. i love you so much and anytime you want to bake or sew or sing i'm here.

i almost peed myself when i read the part about the flip flops. hahahahahahaha!!!!

ps last night when you called i was dreaming and i looked at the caller id and thought it said some sort of catering company. i love the picture idea. just let me know the day and time!

you read my mind..... itsthefrench September 25 2004, 02:59:12 UTC

i feel exactly the same way. and christy is right you are well respected and loved. and i realize that that statement may not really set in when you feel so flawed, but it's the truth. i will be praying for you.

thank you so much erin. you have always been so encouraging to me and i am so thankful for you. i think as girls we all tend to pick ourselves apart when in reality people give us so much more credit than we give ourselves. my prayer for you and all my friends is that you could see yourselves the way that i do and the way that Jesus does! also, thank you so much for your sweet sweet comment. it made my day. love you!

luthley anonymous September 25 2004, 04:26:46 UTC

why do i call you luthley? i do in my head but i never say it out loud..heehee. long story...a girl from high school's sister used to pronounce it kinda like that. sort of valley girl. anyway....i am a good 5 years ahead of you.....and we are in different place in life for sure. but no matter where you are in life....you will still feel this way all along! but i think that's good....it means God is calling us to something bigger...there will always be a stage that we're going through so you and i can relate on that level. i feel flawed. i feel pressure to learn to be a wife....and i'm not even engaged. i want to become what God sees in me. you are not alone, my dear.
see you sunday
