back in oregon

well I have made it to Oregon. 4,900 miles or so, seen snow on october 6th, am back in Amity for the time being and just ready to get started with something. This weekend is camp...family camp with good sam and dad and I are on staff. Dad even has to preach on sunday...he keeps telling me I am going to bail him out but think again papa!!! It has been amazing to drive with him...to have promised to never spend time alone with him again like a trip and then to be able to reconcile past hurts on both parts and see the it has really been me all this time holding anger against him. He has forgotten so much of the pain I have caused him and yet I have held so much anger against him. It has been humbling to see my blame in it all...not in condemnation but instead in hope that once the blame is past I will not have much to complain about. What a wierd concept..not to complain. Something I have never come to quite understand...everyone complains and it seems I feel left out when I have nothing to gripe about...not a sickness...or some excuse to not do something because of some past crap or bitterness. My family might actually be functional sooner than I thought...interesting how God works it all out.

To robert H

ROBERT.........
Current mood: determined

Dear bobert......

I have been thinking much of you lately.  I have joined gospel choir and I will sing everyother sunday with Faith Christian Fellowship.  I think you would like our director.  He is hardcore, no flack, no picking up pieces unless they are pie someone made, tough as heck gospel choir director.  I mean he is down to flippin business.  I think you would like him...

it is funny...I have only 2 and 1/2 months left before I leave.  It is wierd to be back "home" and feel like I am just passing through.  Iknow where I am to be headed......and I know that headed west is where the healing will continue.  I love Baltimore.....I always will....but I just am not healthy here.....this place is not the best God has for me right now which makes no sense since all my supports aer here. 

I love knowing that God has a bigger plan and that he is not stopping that plan just becuase I think He should put it on hold......let me stay longer in baltimore.  the GRACE HAS LIFTED!!!  It lifted the day I got back to baltimore.....I drove into the city with tears in my eyes, Marisa O. beside me and my heart in god's hands.  the clouds and the Baltimore smoke stack billowed into the rain and the storm and I cried.  It was the most beautiful thing I had seen and I knew the death of my anger and bitterness towards Matt Schultz was going to happen.  I fought it for about a day, but slowly I am being purged...I am empty now....the withdrawl from drama has left me raw inside....but it is good. 

i miss you my brother.  I miss you and I will miss you still when I am getting my next piano lessons from you on speaker phone in Portland.  I LOVE PIANO!!! 

Your Missy, Your sister, Your friend,
Melissa<><

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO

Grace handed out a trophy to a girl in beginner salsa and a girl in advanced salsa....I was the girl in advaced salsa.......

she said what makes my heart soar most in the world when I am in love with something I am learning to do with God's help....in the midts (spell) of adversity.....

"Melissa, I can see you are working so hard at this, and I wanted to let you know I see it.  You are doing so well, hunny!" -grace badillo of Dancing with Grace.

I was introduced to west coast swing today.......OH MY G-D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
talk about hot hot HOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I love salsa...there is nothing I want more to do with God than make enough money to just plunge my whole being into working with Him in salsa and with people......music and dance heals the soul in such a way that I can't describe.  i would love to get some dance classes going out in Oregon with GSM.  that would be awesome....hmmmmmmm.

Spent today with the dogs all morning actually watching tv and doing nothing but that....felt weird to just sit and watch the tube..I really don't like tv but a little was ok for me....it was the kathy griffin show and she is hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud and startling myself..looking around.....who laughs that loud?? oh...me......hehe.
then it was pool time all afternoon with the bubbe's.  I lay in the sun....floated on rafts....talked and listened and laughed and burned...oh what a life....
