the past week

So last Friday i went to wisconsin with my best friend.. they had a benefit dance up there for her and her family.. a little over 2 months ago she lost her oldest daughter.. Her daughter had snuck out of the house to meet someone and in the process she was attacked by 4 dogs.. It was so bad that she was delerious and went the wrong way and ended up dying out in the cold... from the cold... the dogs had pretty much gutted this poor child.. it has been really hard for my friend and her family.. i have been there for her as much as i can.. her daughter was only 14 at the time.. well needless to say the dogs have been put to sleep and the guy that owned the dog got some fines adding to ver 2000 dollars but there is no criminal charges against him... the jury decided not to indite him... sad.. he is responsible for his dogs.. something should have been done... They have put 9 counts of gun charges against him because in the process of everything when they searched his house they found 9 guns not registered...

Wisconsin is a very beautiful state.. i can't wait until i go back this summer.. we are going to go up for a week.. she's got an awesome family and we will be going up there again.. i can't wait to see it when it is green.. the rolls and rolls of hills and trees and the lakes.. it was all awesome....

Tuesday i started my first bible study class... it too was awesome.. they never once made me feel uncomfortable at all...

then last night i started a conditioning class which is a full hour of kicking and punching and sit ups and push ups and leg lifts... i only made it about 40 minutes into it.. but it was my own fault because i did not listen to the trainer.. he told me to do half of what everyone else was doing because i was just starting.. i will be going back next week although i am in much pain today...lol... serves me right for sitting on my butt so long...LOL... anyways i just wanted to let you all know what has been going on....

Remember God is great.... well maybe i'm not done writing yet.... See in one of my groups we are discussing forgiveness.. When we are with God we are to forgive others of there sins and we are to forgive our abuser or abusers.. it took me a long time to beable to do that.. and i dont want people thinking that forgiveness is easy.. it's not.. it takes someone with alot of strength and courage to beable to do so... I thought i had forgiven my mother and my uncle but i now realize that i didn't not fully forgive them until i had God in my life.. i have some pretty wonderful friends who have helped me get where i am today.... anyways.. love you all.. jenny
