Oh Anger

Welp, apparently I haven't blogged in a while and some of my dear friends are getting upset so I had a few learning experiences today that I thought would be good to share.

I have anger management problems, I always have. Lately though, my anger has started to get the best of me and unfortunately it becomes violent. I had a few of these anger/violent outbursts today.

The first one was, sadly enough, at church. I love my school, and my school athletics and I support them and am proud of them no matter how good or bad they are, but lets just say we aren't doing to well this year. Anyway, I was sitting at church minding my own business and one of the students brought up how my school lost to their school which made me very angry so I picked up my chair and threw it. A horrible thing to do I must say weather in a church or anywhere else please just don't do it!

The other situation was when I came home from a lovely afternoon with some friends (we saw Footloose FYI  its a very good movie). Any who, I came home and right away, I got in a fight with my brother and that got violent too but I left before I got too violent. Thank goodness I have some amazing friends that I am able to call to help cool me down, thank you guys very much.

In other words I need to learn how to control my anger or else I will end up with a bruised thumb, from throwing a chair at church, and a very nasty meal, from not being home but instead going on a walk to calm down.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. -James 1:19-20.  I really have to work on that.

Sparked An Interest

Lately I have found that some specific people around me have become interested in Christ, which to me is the most amazing thing it the world. I love Christ and everything he is doing in my life, and I love to see that in other peoples lives too.

Recently a dear friend of mine has really started to grow in her relationship with Christ. It's amazing to see how much she has changed and who she is starting to become over just the past year. I love seeing Christ work in her life, but by working in her life it has effected me and worked in my life too, let me expand.

My friend has really started to open up to me about her relationship with Christ and has started to come to me with some questions about Christ and all that good stuff, which is amazing! By coming to me, and talking to me about it, it has impacted my relationship with Christ too, it has encouraged me to grow closer and closer to him.

I love love love when people talk to me about Jesus, I mean I know I don't have all the answers but it is truly one of the few things in life that makes me legitimately happy. I love seeing peoples curiosity about Christ grow, and I love seeing how Christ works in others lives as well as mine. Gah it's such a blessing!

Love Fest

So I read my friend Jenna's blog  and it kind of talked about how we never know when the end of our lives will come. I mean think about that show 1,000 Ways To Die, we literally are exposed to so many deadly experiences and it is a HUGE blessing to get another day of life.

Well that got me thinking about me being a clumsy person and how it is literally a miracle that I am still alive and how if anything were to happen to me I don't want to leave without everyone knowing how important they are to me and how much I love them.

This made me decide to write letters to everyone who is important  to me and to start showing people the love that Christ shows me. Anyway, some of my friends liked it but some interpreted it wrong, one of my friends thought I was suicidal which I am not FYI, in her defense though she did only skim it.

I just want all my friends to know that I love them with all my heart and I am so so blessed to have them in my life, they are amazing people. It has to be a crime to know such an amazing group of people and to love them so much. Gah I'm so blessed!

Strange Excitement Regarding The Book Of Mormon

OK for those of you who don't know; I am a Christian, and have been a Christian my entire life. Although, it wasn't until recently that I started to really dinging into my faith, who I am, who Christ is, and what I believe. Another thing you should know is that I love exploring other religions and comparing them to my faith, it really gives me more confidence in what I believe, and it also comes in handy in case I ever have to defend my faith.

Out of all the religions in the world, my favorite to learn about is Mormonism, or The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints (LDS). I find it very fascinating at how they are so strong with their faith, but all at the same time my heart aches for them. They truly believe that they are a Christian denomination which in reality they are not. Please don't get me wrong, I love Mormons, they are, in my opinion, some of the nicest people in the world, and I am jealous of how well they know their religion and what they believe. Unfortunately they are being lead down the wrong path, and later I will give some insight on why.

Now, not many people know my obsession with learning about the LDS religion, but out of all the luck, one of me Mormon friends came up to me and handed me the Book of Mormon and asked if I would read it. UH YEAH HELLO I WILL READ IT! WHY HAVEN'T YOU ASKED ME BEFORE? I HAVE BEEN WAITING MY ENTIRE LIFE FOR THIS!

I am super stoked to start reading it, digging into the comparisons, and hopefully be able to update you guys, and give you a little more insight on all this.
*(I don't want this to offend anyone really I don't. I would love to give you guys some updates on how far I'm coming, some comparisons of their beliefs and the Christian beliefs, and maybe even let you know how their production that they also invited me to goes.)

Random Friends

You know what I love? I love the fact that you can get a group of people that you never would expect to hang out together to actually hang out, and have the most fun of their life. I think that sums up my life pretty well.

Everyone that I hang out with, and get together with is a group of people that you would never expect to hang out, but we do and we have a blast! It's funny because we walk into a restaurant and everyone gives us these weird looks like, "What the heck?! Those kids don't belong together." But then they see us interact and it all makes sense. The people I hang out with we all interact kind of the same, we make fun of each other in a loving way, and are really easy to get along with which is great!

I love to compare us to a puzzle; separately it doesn't look like we fit together, but when you get us all together we seem to fit perfect. I love my friends with all my heart and don't know what I would do without them.

Fun Times Die Quickly

Answer me this: Do you ever have an amazing day, or weekend, and then right when you get home it ruins it?
Well that seems to happen to me all the time. The most recent account was actually today. I had a great Friday like most people do, I was partying like I usually do on Friday nights. Then I came home to an angry and hectic house.

Now don't get me wrong, I love my family but we get overwhelmed and angry pretty easily. The second I walked in, my day was ruined; heck even before I walked in I knew it was going to be ruined. I don't know why this happens but I think it should stop because I want my entire weekend or day to be good, not just a portion of it.

Bacon

Yes, bacon. I bet you are thinking, "how is this girl supposed to write an entire blog post about bacon?" Well, I'm going to show you.
Bacon, its my one true love (other than Christ). I have this weird obsession with it. Do you remember when Denny's had their bacon menu? Well I do, and it was my goal to go get bacon pancakes. Sadly enough though, I did not end up getting them which was the saddest day of my life, I literally cried.  I love bacon with all my heart so I wrote a poem called:
                     Bacon
Bacon oh bacon, my heart longs for you
I don't know if you know this but you should be a food group
screw the bread, forget the fruit, you should be at the bottom so that I can fell happy eating you
I know you contain fat, and a lot at that, but I will always always love you
please don't change, stay your fat, salty, and greasy self because that is how I love you.


That is my bacon poem, and that my dear friends is how you write and entire blog post about bacon.

A Little Bit Of Everything Summed Up Into One Post

Ok first of all, I'm new to this blog site so please keep that in mind. I'm still trying to deal with the fonts, the images, and the making it pretty. I did have a blog before this but I decided it was way to difficult to transfer all my previous posts so if you want to read them, here's the link: http://chelseaann.posterous.com/ but I will not be using that one any more. I just want to get that out of the way and get to the thing I really wanted to talk about. The real good stuff: 
There are these people, these people in my life that I have been so amazingly blessed with, and these people are my friends. I have 2 sets of friends that I am super close with, my youth group, and my friends at school. Both groups mean the world to me, and I can honestly say that I have no clue what I would do without them. Each day I spend with them, I fall more and more in love with them. I am just so blown away with the fact that me, a socially awkward, loud, and well I'll admit it, obnoxious person can be surrounded by so many amazing people. I thank God everyday for them and have no clue where I would be if I wasn't blessed with them. Gah, they are amazing!
