THIS IS REAL
1/31/99

Testimony time, 9th grade-- winter retreat. One person started crying. Then everyone started crying. I had so much stuffed up inside that I couldn't even cry. I felt anger, numbness, despair, tear....everything. Everything mixed together at once. Andy, Lina, Mel, and Jen helped me out. I couldn't completely let go but I'm getting close. Everyone came together. group hugs with Mike L., Christine P, Joy, Vinny, Maria, Fred, Tim G., Easten, Gideon, Angelo, Gaius helped me out. I looked around and everyone was crying. And sobbing. Man, it was sure felt good to cry. After holding SO much in, it's good to let all go. And get God back into your life. It feels good. To let stuff go. And just, I dunno. A relief and a burden lifted. Like you can sleep now. Like you can have faith again that things are gonna be ok. That it's all good. Of course, it isn't all good but its a step. A baby step. I know there's more to come but I can handle it! I just need sleep and food (for right now).

I wonder if Jeff's OK. I know he's had a REALLY hard life. But everything that happened, happened for a purpose. There's a purpose there.
