We now return to our regularly scheduled program...

Hmmm...what to say about myself?

I know you've heard it a zillion times; "Hi. My name is Bob. I'm a plumber. I've been facinated with toilets since my brother flushed my sister down one when we were wee ones {no worries, I retrieved her}. In my spare time I really like to mow my grass. It makes me feel manly. That and burping. My dog's name is Spot. I know that name's a little crazy, but I just like unusual names that push me out of my comfort zone... blah-di-dlah..." Just skip over mine if you'd like. I won't blame you a single dust bunny. ::ahem:: Here goes...

My name is Chloe and I'm a 18 year old Christian home schooling girl...blah-di-blah-di-blah...I have a marvelous {and comical} family (1 brother and 2 sisters) and we live on 10 gorgeous {to an extreme} acres. Someday I may write a book about our family, something like Little Women, whom we mirror in may ways lovely, and sometime not so lovely. I've always wanted an older brother (or one that's around my age), but unfortunately, I'm the oldest of us kids, and I'm really not all that bossy. Seriously. ;| I tend to be melancholy/pensive, poetic, and I love beauty, but I can also be a real dimwit, to put it blandly (like you couldn't tell). ;|...blah-di-blah...Around people I don't know well, I'm normally the sweet, quiet and mysterious sort, with the Mona Lisa smile {or so I hallucinate.} But around those I know well, I can be very savage silly...la-di-dum...I love serving "behind the velvet curtain". That's where I flourish. If you were ever to see me somewhere, I would probably be cleaning up, or doing something for someone...la-di-da...::yawn and stretches:: I'm a helpless romantic, absolutely in love with my future husband...whoever he is! ::beams::

Jesus is my everything. I cannot express that enough. He leads me everywhere so gently and is my only Hiding Place, or my "habitation" as Psalm 91 has it. "My hope is to walk forever in the coolness of the shade." (Waterdeep) And that's what I live for, to be near God, intimate with Him, to bring glory to Him, and to worship Him!!!

My journal is primarily friends only. I know. That's so annoying, but at the moment I don't really have my heart set on juggling a larger friends list. :/ Ah, how I pity those of you who are not able to look upon my very insightful and even genius writings {/end major sarcasm}. ;) Actually, I do a *few* public announcements, but none of those are interesting, yet, hey, it's better then nothing. :]

One last thing, no boys allowed. :) No, I’m not a man-hater Feminoid. I’m simply attempting to guard my heart, thank you very much. :)

I guess that about sums things up then.

(Jesus is coming soon!!!)

Chloe's 18th Birthday!!!!!!

Knowing Chloe, she will probably get real mad at me for telling everyone about her birthday..... she has been hoping everybody will forget and not do anything (note: Chloe does not like to have any attention on her) That why I am posting this, so all the attention can! Heee hee Aren't I a wonderful sister?
So I just wanted to let you all know....so that you could comment here and wish her a very happy birthday!

Thanks!

Your's really truly, & etc.

And the left over pictures, and just some other family, fun and scrap pictures you'll find in my humble little album here.

And yes, I know this doesn't count for a real update. That should {should!} come later {maybe a year or so, depending. ;P}.

I pray you all are rejoicing in the Lord and His blessings today...

Love!

sick but happy :)

You would not believe what I just did. You do not know how bad I feel about it. You don't want to know what it is either. But I'll tell you because it's important. I just went from having 44 people on my friends list to now, where I only have 13.

I could go on and on apologizing forever to all you who got taken off, but first I should tell you just why I did this.
Here are a few reasons;

• I have been spending way to much time to livejournal. It takes hours out of my day where I could be doing other things. There's this saying that goes something like this, "Sometimes the good is the enemy of the best". In other words, we can be so caught up in what's good that we don't strive for the best. I want to strive for the best.
  
• What is the "best"? I want to devote so much more time to God and my family. These are big growing years for me, and I do not want to look back and regret all the time I spent on livejournal pursuing shallow relationships with girls I probably will never really get to know in this lifetime. (Understand, I'm not saying you girls are shallow, I'm just saying that usually our relationships were pretty shallow.)
  
• My family has been noticing how distracted I have been from our life at home. This has caused quite a few tense situations in our home which I would prefer to avoid.
  
• In "real life" I wouldn't normally have 44 friends that I have deep and lasting friendships with.
  

One thing I want you all to know is that I have enjoyed getting to know all of you sooo much! You are all such dear Christian girls, and it was very hard for me to take each of you off! Really it was!
If any of you whom I have taken off would like to keep reading my journal (for what reason I can't imagine), please tell me! It won't hurt adding a few people back! ;)
I love you all and may God bless you! I will miss you!
Warm hugs and a wave good bye from,
::}Chloe{::
P.S. This is a public entry.
P.P.S. My friends page looks so empty. Whaaa!!!
P.P.P.S. I just might add some of you back in the future (possibly).
P.P.P.P.S. To those of you who survived Chloe's Infamous Friends List Chop, and are still on my list, don't feel as if you have to read my journal entries. I kept most of you on because I didn't want to miss any of your entries. :)
P.P.P.P.P.S. And to all you who were more unfortunate in The Chop, a sincere "I'm sorry" and a fond "Farewell"
