Gossip is not cool. I know we all struggle with it at times, with certain things or people. But things that could change a person's entire reputation or make them look as though they are a completely different person, is just wrong. Especially when it is not true. I think all gossip is wrong but if it is the truth, then maybe it is not so bad in some ways, but when it is the farthest thing from the truth, that makes it twenty times worse.
Thank God though that people should know a person's character well enough to know the truth from a lie. Or that they respect a person well enough to actually ask them, rather than assume the gossip to be valid. A person should always check if the gossip is truth before believing it or before passing it onto another person.
Things have been good, busy with the kids and watching One Tree Hill and sleeping and getting better from being sick and going to the beach and walking on the boardwalk, watching and playing soccer, and going to church.
We bought Life in Trujillo and so we played that with the girls. And we made chocolate/vanilla/peanut butter milk shakes with the girls too. I think this week we are going to make biscuits, muffins, or pancakes with the girls.
My college graduation is May 1st and I have to be honest with you, I am a little sad that I will not be there to walk across the stage and to see some of those people for the last time or for a long time. A door is closing in my life and it is weird to not be there for it, to not be handed the fake degree when you walk across the stage. ha ha. And to not have your family there cheering you on and celebrating with you afterwards.
I think we are going to go out to dinner to celebrate and maybe Heather, Kat, and I will get a hotel room and watch movies into all hours of the night. I do not know. There really is no way to celebrate here, not the way I would have liked to celebrate at least.
And then 9 short days later is my 24th birthday. And although it is just another year to celebrate, and I wish my family was with me to celebrate. I mean I have family here now but you all know what I mean.
Life is a roller coaster here at times but God is faithful and I know He is teaching me so much and pushing me in so many ways. I just hope that He is using me more than I feel like He is.
