My Weekend, 16, and ISU

So today was the day that I came back home from ISU. It's a bittersweet thing. I wish I could have stayed home with my family. I truly feel like that is where my heart is. I miss them so much, more than words can explain. Today was also my sister's, Missa, 16th birthday. I still cannot believe it. Time goes by so fast, and it's difficult for me to grasp that she is going to be going to college in just two years. I told her, "Embrace this time, because it goes by fast" and I'm not lying. It still seems like yesterday when I myself turned 16, and I walked into school with make up on for the first time. Now it's her time :) That young lady is so impressive and I know for a fact that she is going to do great things with her life. 
Today was also my first time going back to church in a month. [A little back story as to why I haven't been to church: I have a horrid case of insomnia, can't fall asleep until an ungodly hour, and I sleep through my alarms that I have set to wake up for church] All I can say is OH MY GOODNESS! I can't believe what I have been missing out on. I've felt a sense of emptiness for the past few weeks and I've figured out that it's because I put God out of my life. Now I'm not saying that one needs to go to church in order to feel God's presence. But since I haven't exactly had my own God time, and going to church personally helps me. I forget how amazing God is when I've been away from him for a while. It's kinda like when you aren't with your best friend for a while and when you get back together to hang out, you remember how great it is to be around someone so understanding and great. 
So tomorrow starts my first day of my facebook fast. Even as I am writing this blog, I want to open up another tab on my laptop and log into facebook. I haven't even really started this fast and I'm having a hard time with it. It's weird how addicting that website is. I will try very hard to prevail though. 
Well this blog was probably sufficiently boring, but that's what's on my mind. I shall blog soon!
