HAPPY NOVEMBER!

I'm so sleepy and I have a cold, which is probably why I'm sleepy.

Mom, dad, and I went horseback riding on monday down in Nashville, IN. It was so beautiful. Dad and I got to run are horses (is that correct grammar?). We had a blast. Our guide must have been 6 foot 5 inches or something. All I know is that he was huge.

Does it ever seem like people are crowding you in with stuff that they want you to do? There are two people that want me to reach out to two younger girls that I know. Of course I'm already reaching out to them, but they want me to reach out even more. For one girl, I don't know what more I can do. We pick her up for Bible Study, I invite her to activities that I attend, she spends the night some weekends, and I pray for her. Yet her counsaler tells me that I need to try and befriend her even more so. I can't hold her hand through life; that's probably one of the reasons why God gave her parents.
Then this other girl's mother wants me to reach out to her, because she (the girl) told her mother that she doesn't like coming to church anymore because she doesn't have any friends. I love being a friend, but I always said that it takes two people to form a realationship. A one sided realationship just isn't going to work.
The other thing that bother's me is that whenever people ask me what I want to do with my life after high school and I tell them that I want to be a nurse, then they ask, "why do you want to be a nurse, you should be a doctor. We need more African American women to be doctors, and besides, you'll make a lot more money if you're a doctor." I want to scream at them and tell them that the Lord hasn't called me to be a doctor!

I'm probably not being Christ like in complaining, so I apologize.
