problem

The Proble with blogging is that I can’t talk about stuff that involves people that I know are readers. Cuz frankly, there’s a lot of stuf on my heart right now, but if I it it out here and wanted to get some outside input, I’d just end up with a bunch of hate comments from people that I know in real life. and if I let it all out and talked about some real issues going on in my life, I’d get protests because it’s all kind of… relational. one person might think I’m misrepresenting their actions o attutudes, when really I’m just saying it as I see it. grrr, I’m in a bind.

Needless to say, the stuff on my mind has me reverting to emo practices and I’ve been yelled at so far today for being “cynical” and “Pissy”. Well, Darlings, I wish I could say it has nothing to do with you, but frankly it’s “relational”. and I’ve been swearing about it and on the verge of tears all day. so….. read between the lines. I’m not doing too hot.

French Quiz day

Insomnia is bad. It keeps little girls up late at night and causes them to not be all there the next day at school where they fail French tests.

I’m afraid blogging on French quiz days will become a very common thing.

anyone know where I can get a free neck massage? I’m desperately in need of one. like I feel like every single muscle in my back has decided to compact. It hurts like none other.

difficulties

I don’t know if it’s just me, but this semester has been a lot harder then last semester. Or maybe I”m just unmotivated. or maybe both. Anyway, despite taking two music classes, I’m still swamped in homework. Mainly from Math, French, Career Ed, and World History… AKA all my classes except the music ones and biology. hopefully things will get better though. I think it wouldn’t be so bad if I weren’t going through some major drama on the friend front. Although I will admit, I am very surprised that I haven’t flipped out and become a hermit yet and I’ve been in the thick of the fight for a few weeks now.

Basically I’m having some issues relationally, although I’d like to think I’m getting better at it…. who knows, we’ll see. My one joy is that my relationship with God is… booming? and he has shown me direction for my life. It helps as a high school sophomore who has just started getting contact from colleges to have direction. and I know you people(dear readers) don’t know about the college mail yet, but there you have it. I’ve gotten letters talking about how I will fit into their programs and I’ll get scholorships if I “find myself” on their campus. I don’t even know what the jesuite’s were thinking on that one.

I’ve officially decided that college junk mail has got to be the most retarded stuff ever. They don’t even know how to use appealing phrases they’re all “Believe in yourself and you will acheive great things” Like seriously, who actually believes that?

anyway, now that I’ve rambled my way off topic, I’m going to share what’s on my heart right now. Cofusion. difficulty. I don’t know where my life is headed at this moment. Things could be drastically changed before the end of the month and I’ll have an entirely new group of friends. I might have a bunch of weepy freinds on my hands. I might get my old boring blissfully happy life back where the only worry is keeping my face turned the right direction in biology class and not getting frozen solid milk in the lunch line. but at this moment, I can’t really say it’s any of those things. but I’m not too worried about it. Now, Im’ going to share something I learned how to do from those retarded letters

God isn’t going to change.

how was that for a cliche? as a rule I don’t say things that are cliche unless I”m being retarded or completely serious. at this moment, I”m going for serious. God doesn’t change. He doesn’t bail out when I make decisions that he doesn’t like. He doesn’t judge me because my hair is the wrong color or I have love handles. He doesn’t ignore me because I’m just pissing him off with my antics. And the plus side is that he listens. and he gives advice. As I have learned in the past few weeks, humans have issues doing this… and when they do listen and give advice, it’s highly likely they don’t understand and they’re just saying words and hoping it’s applicable. God doesn’t do that. He is consistent in caring. He understands. He comforts, and he provides a solution. and it’s not just one of those watered down solutions that works for a while and then gives you a really bad rash. His solutions work 100% of the time. So, no matter my issues or how hard life gets, I can rely on him. He’s not going to let me down like everybody else.

There, you’ve had the long overdue blog post.

Show Choir

So, at the Show Choir competition yesterday my choir placed fourth out of all JV and Women’s groups, and was the only Women’s group to place in that venue. And the other choir at my school(the Varsity group) got third out of the whole competition. Pretty awesome. Just wanted to share the Lahve(haha, choir).

Happy Day!

I’m pretty excited for this weekend. My good friends Mary and Anna are coming into town. It’s my mommy’s birthday. I have a show choir competition tomorrow. I”m going out with my buddies tonight. Life is good. and on top of everything, my brother fixed the computer. all he needs to do is download Word, and then all will be made right again.

This week I’ve been thinking about starting my day right and being a leader when I’m “off-stage” so to speak. (reference to worship leading at youth group right ther) So for one, I’ve put a rein on my less friendly qualities. I’ve tried to be nicer to people, to not get irritated with people all the time. To give second chances and to always remember that I have gotten more chances then anyone deserves. To start my day, I get up and read my bible. I don’t journal or have a mountaintop experience, but it focuses my day and gives me more then just a spiritual high. I listen to good music (Reilley check them out!) and I’ve started to understand what day to day living with God means. It’s exhillerating.

Right now I’m supposed to be taking a French test O_O I’ll sign out now.

Oops, Sorry

So, pretty much my internet crashed a few weeks ago and I haven’t gotten on the internet in a while. I’ve had plenty of stuff to blog about, but I don’t have access on the days when I’m going to blog :/ Anyway, Just expect a deluge whenever my computer uncrashes.

Current status is one of complete and utter stress out.

Snow days (grrrr….)

Okay, here’s my annoyance. It’s is the beginning of January and I am currently enjoying the LAST snow day that my school has planned for in order to finish the year on time. And tomorrow is expected to be a snow day too… and finals are next week! And we haven’t reviewed AT ALL in any of my classes. This is annoying to me because I actually try in school. The stress of normal every day finals is multiplied exponentially by the fact that I’m prone to freaking out and the fact that I AM NOT PREPARED!!!!!!!! I’m kind of more then slightly annoyed at the snow.

But, I have to admit that the snow day today is proof that Jesus loves me to some extent. My day yesterday was like this: wake up at 7:15. leave the house at 7:30 am. Get to school at 7:56am(4 minutes before class starts.) walk into first period 4 minutes late at 8:04am. Amass homework throughout the day until 2:55 pm. Go to penned club where we shared much joy about being published!!!!!(Yay!!!!!). 3:15 pm-ish I walk into show choir rehearsal. I dance like there’s no tomorrow(a.k.a. stand around like there isn’t anything better to do [a.k.a. NOT DOING HOMEWORK!!!!!!]) at 5:30pm I finally leave school. I come home, do French homework. eat supper with my family. Check facebook, take a shower and hit the sack. at 8pm…. shortly before the sleeping part of my day, I set my alarm for 5:30am in the interests of getting the undone homework done. At I don’t know when, my mom rouses me to a half awake state of consciousness to inform me that there wasn’t school today. I shut off my alarm and sleep until the blessed time of 10 am. as of right now, my homework is yet undone. and I don’t have Youth Group tonight. Fail.

Reflections

So, since everyone’s doing and it’s kind of customary, I’m going to do a New Years post. I know, it’s not new years yet, and I doubt this post will get as much attention as last year’s new years post(rant) which got upwards of 40 hits. Anyway, this year was a good and bad year. a year of growing, like every year is.

First and foremost, I thank God for my family and friends. I have developed relationships in this past year that I am confident will last the rest of my life. I am so blessed with loyal friends that try to keep the drama at the minimum(try, not succeed). My family has been awesome. I am so blessed to have so many siblings that stand up for what is right in my life, even when I want to run the other way. I am blessed to have a wise mom and dad who know what I can take and know when they need to rein me in.

I know this past year hasn’t been…. the easiest. I’ve been through some MAJOR refining when it comes to one specific relationship with a boy. I know I always said that high school relationships are stupid and of the devil and should be shot in the face until dead… I don’t know why I thought that I could do it without getting burned, but apparently I did. and I got burned. I guess my ongoing lesson is to focus on God no matter the distractions.

Despite my silly highschoolness, I’ve had a very joyful year. I gave up marching band and took on jazz band and show choir. I’m starting to really love singing and dancing. It gets the blood pumping in a way that…. well, in a beneficial way. I wish I could say I’m over the weight issue, but I can’t. It’s a daily struggle. This is under the joy section because for my third anniversary this year I wasn’t holed up in a corner crying. that’s joyous.

I”m halfway through my sophomore year and I’ve only broken down crying in the counselors office once. kudos to me.

my brother Daniel and his lady Debbie are getting married :D I’m excited for them.

My sister got a job and moved away.

My other sister is in a relationship with a pastor O_o I don’t know how I feel about that one(Jk, I love you Rebekah)

My parents gave in and bought a treadmill.

I am in shock because holy cats, I’m going to be 16 in a few months! When did I grow up?

Prayer

So I read through Mark today and I stumbled across something extremely profound.

This one dude is like “Hey, you’re disciples can’t heal my son.”

And Jesus is like “Bring him to me.” so the dude brings him…. and Jesus is like “You need to believe more.”

And the dude is like “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief.”

And then the dude’s son is healed.

And later the disciple dudes are like “Why couldn’t we drive that demon out?”

And Jesus dude was like “Because that kind can only be driven out by prayer.”

I have come to the conclusion that when you have conflicting feelings inside like this man and you want to see the miracles of God, you need to pray. I am under the impression that the demon in the boy was not the only one cast out that day. The demon of unbelief was cast out of the dude when he cried out to Jesus saying “Help me overcome my disbelief”.

So that’s what I have to do. I’m conflicted inside about who I am and who Jesus wants me to be, I need to pray not that I would be a completely different person, but that my distrust and disbelief of God would be overcome.

Free To Fail

[Verse 1]
What if the end is just the beginning
and what if the stars where ment to be reached
And what if you’re heart was made to be broken

You’ve nothin’ give
That’s all that you need

[Chorus]
You are the one that’s breaken
my heart all over again
Nothin’ I do or say could
change you’re mind
You are the one that’s given
me more then I could repay
You live you’re life so I could live mine

[Verse 2]
My heart as done
all my hands never dare to
Foolin’ my mind to believe
We where free
You’re love came in like a
Whisper Screaming
You’re guilt and you’re shame
Where ment for me

[Chorus]
You are the one thats
breaken my heart all
over again
Nothin’ I do or say
could change you’re mind
You are the one thats give
me more then I could repay
You lived you’re life so I could live mine

We are free to fail
We are free to fail
We are free to fail now

You are the one whose
taken my heart all over again
You are the one whose given me life

You are the one whose
given me more then I could repay
You lived you’re life so I could
live mine

We are free to fail

yes this is the third post in a day. It’s to make up for all the epic fail months where I only posted once a week at best.
