God's so good!!

God is awesome. Man this has been a really tough week for me. Both my grandma's were in the hospital getting surgery. One of them was really depressed.. to the point where she didn't want to live anymore. The other is just extremely stressed.. to a point were she's depressed.. (SHE IS NEVER DEPRESSED!! I'm serious!!!) Well there's a butt load of other things going on too.. but I'm not supposed to talk about it haha!! But to the point of this post.. Today I was in my car.. I had a lovely hour in between my classes to just sit and read my bible and pray.. God took all of my worries every single one... This was awesome to me.. because I have the hardest time giving up my worries. But.. I've never felt so... peaceful.. and full of joy inside.. than I am feeling today!! God is soooo awesome.. We will have burdens that are way too much for us to carry.. and we give it all to God. This makes me think HOW BIG IS HE!!???!!! If he can hold ALL of our burdens the burdens of every person... Man.. He's gotta be big. He takes all of our burden's if we just let Him.. So yeah what I really want to encourage you guys to do.. is to give ANYTHING you are worrying about to God. He's large and in charge.. He'll take care of it.. I know it's not that easy.. But.. it is the most peacefull feeling you will ever have... How amazing is our God!! Woot!! He loves all of us... sooo much.. and He knows us more intamitly than we know ourselves!! Is that not an awesome thing!! I mean... how many people do you know better than yourself?? Lol... no one... unless you are lying haha!!
Luv ya'll!!

At Gma's.

Hello everyone!!
I'm at my grandma's today. And very bored might I add heh. But I've had an awesome weekend so far. Well I'll start with Friday. I went to chemistry friday morning. Mr. Magruder explained all the chapters to us sooo simply that everything just clicks now! Woo hoo!! SO yeah, that was cool. After choir I went home.. for about two minutes.. hehe my mom decided she wanted to take me out to get a tea at the last minute. So we went to Mcalisters (They have the BEST iced tea EVER!!) That was fun, because I FINALLY sat down and talked to mom about a bunch of things that I should have told her ages ago. Like for example, I am concidering going to highschool next year. It's too long of a story to write here heh.. So you can ask me later if you really want to know. And alot of other things.. that are much more personal. Heh.. don't ask about those cause I won't tell you!! Unless you're Rache or Hannah.. No offence anyone lol. So anywho, mom and I went home just in time for Lora and I to leave for choir.

Choir was awesome AS usual. The songs are not near as challenging and exciting as my OKC choir songs.. but I still loved it!! lets see.. so yeah.. choir ended.. kind of not really heh.. Lora and I sing in a kind of an ensemble too.. That was really cool too!! Mostly because the songs are MUCH more challenging hehe. We sing this one song that is SOOO awesome. It is Do You Hear What I Hear for SATB. THe cool part is the bass's part. The go Brmm bmmm bmmm (THEY SOUND LIKE MOTORCYCLES!! IT IS SOOO COOL!!) So yeah, I call it the motorcycle song. Rachel is singing the solo parts in the song and btw Rache, you sound awesome!!! So anyway, choir ended around 430 (It is SUPPOSED to end at 330.. but hehe ensemble practice went REALLY long) But it was fine with us!! It's soo awesome singing in ensembles!! So Lora and I finally left, I went and dropped her off at a friends house. I FOUND IT WITHOUT GETTING LOST!! WHOO HOOOO!!!! And then I went home. Yeah.. there's more that went on!! Hang in there!! So anywho I walked in the door to find my gma Linda was visiting. Yeah guys please be praying for her, my great gma Neoma (gma Linda's mom) is in the hospital because she broke her hip. Well anyway, my great gma Neoma is... giving grandma Linda a REALLY hard time... you see... she can't get around anymore... but she practically says she'll kill herself if she's put in a nursing home.. which is what she really needs... my Grandma Linda is trying REALLY hard... but it is making her depressed.. and us! We don't like either of them to be depressed... So yeah pray for them pease!!! So that's why grandma was visiting. I decided my parents and gma needed a little privacy though.. so I didn't hear the whole conversation.. (They didn't really want me listening in I'm afraid..) So yeah.. I played Wow!!! WOOT!!! I played with Phillip he helped me out on a lot of my quests.. or tried to... hehe... I died too much you see.... about a BILLION times... But he was patient with me.. so that was cool too!! So anyway.. lets see what else.. Ohh! Talk about weird!! I stayed up late last night, and you guys won't believe it.. I was talking on the phone to Brad lol, that was pretty awesome!! Shocking isn't it??? (For those of you who don't know, I usually hate talking on the phone... So yeah.. hehe) Well it wasn't too late.. but late enough for me.. hehe. Only because I had to wake up at six this morning haha!! Yeah I talked untill around one I think.... So ok.. that's practically all that happened friday. Now I'll explain what was soo awesome though. It was when I was talking to my mom. You see... me and my mom don't get along so well, I think it is because we don't understand each other that well.. but anyway, it was REALLY cool because.. for once we both were very understanding towards each other.. plus I told her a WHOLE bunch of stuff that I had been needing to get off my chest for a really long time... So yeah, God really worked on both of our hearts Friday!!

Ok as for Saturday, my mommie my daddy and I all went to eat breakfast to start off our early day. As I said earlier we woke up at six.. So yeah, Grandma Linda came with us too!! So anywho breakfast was fun, we ate... and that's about it... hehe. So anyway, after breakfast we went over to where my Great Grandma had currently been living. We had to pack some of her stuff... because we are going to try and put her in a nursing home. Well.. I'll just say it was tough, my grandma was soo upset.. because.. well what I talked about earlier.. so we cleaned out all her food and some of her clothes and some nick nacks. She had her grandson living in the apartmant with her. So I had the loverly... opportunity to clean up his tabaco spit... It was SOOOOOOO gross... But at the same time.. I feel really bad about stuff.. this is something I would like imput on. I can't really go into detail.. because it is family.. stuff. So anyway, this grandson.. is just not a great guy.. that's the best way I can put it.. because I can't tell you anything else haha. So yeah, my family doesn't treat him very well... and I really don't know what to do about it.. because I don't think it is right at all. We, as christian's, should be setting the example. So anywho.. imput would be nice. Well we finally left I went home with Grandma. We did alot of work around the house and then we went shopping. I don't really like shopping personally, but gma does.. I hope it cheered her up a bit... ok well anyway, we came back to her house only to figure out we had to leave AGAIN!! My sister and my cousin Caiti decided they wanted to come up here too!! Well now the best part about today. We picked up the girls and of course, I did my usual and cranked the music up loud while we were on our way back to gma's house. Well of course as SOON as I turned it on a REALLY awesome song was on.. a song by Rage against the machines. Awesome band!! Yeah they are a rapping band.. well anyway, I got excited.. so I started dancing and head banging and doing my little arm... bang thing... ohh what is it called!! The punk rock fist?? I don't know hehe. Well anyway. So I started doing this right as we were pulling up to a stop light. I just happened to look at the people pulling in next to us right at that time. And of course I was still doing my weird dancing in the car to rage stuff.. ok.. you have to undersand.. the guys in the car next to us were these big black guys... kind of scary looking. But anyway.. I looked at them.. only to see them doing the EXACT same thing I was doing to Rage!! So yeah first we just sat and pointed and laughed at each other, and THEN we all started dancing including my grandma, who was BY FAR the best!! Ok well.. I think this is the longest post I've ever writtend so I'll stop now hehe.
LUV YA'LL LOTS!!!!!!

Back at last!!!

HI EVERYONE!!! I have FINALLY returned!! Yeah.. I was grounded for about a week because I called my parents ten minutes later than I was supposed to.... But it doesn't matter anymore for I have returned!! Whoo hoo!!!! So last night I had this found poem I was supposed to write. Ok well I wrote the poem before I went to AWANA and I had all the magazine words cut out. (We had to use a bunch of words from the magazine or newspapers and THEN make a poem) Well... I got home.. at like 11 and... ALL OF MY STUFF WAS GONE!!! ARRGGHHHH!!! So yeah.. I stayed up REALLY late trying to redo my poem.. but I finally gave up... Man I hope it doesn't make my grades go way down... OHh well!
Ok now I'll be serious. So this week.. has been pretty tough so far. I have been trying.. my hardest to be more caring and sensitive to my parents. Most of the time I fail.. because I am stupid.. and I don't always think before I speak... But I have been praying alot about it.. And God has helped tremendously.. He's given me alot more patience than I thought possible... But I am still WAY far away from where I should be. But anyway keep praying for me guys!! And please tell me if you EVER need me to pray about something!!

2) I have a strange obsession with frisbees.. Especially frisbee golf discs.

3) I love crazy, colorful socks, especially if they have monkeys on them!! WHOO HOO!!!

Nine ways to win my heart (Win my heart? Now, at this age?? No, don't even think about it hehe. But I'll tell you anyway..)

1) By loving God with ALL your heart.

2) By above all, wanting to glorify God with your life.

3) By loving people more than yourself.. and putting them first always.

4) Family is a real priority in your life.

5) By always being there for people.

6) By being a Proverbs lover like I am hehe.

7) By being very humble, not proud.

8) By being very alert and willing to listen.

9) Always willing to help.. even if it might cost you some discomfort.

Seven things that annoy me.

2) People using the word hate jokingly.

3) People who say "courtship is biblical and the ONLY way for ANYONE to go without being hurt." And no I'm not saying I'm going to go and date someone right now either hehe. I am too young. (No offence if you believe this, but you're wrong. It isn't biblical, where in the bible does it say that someone courted?? And dating is fine as long as the people have the right motives, and if they have a God centered relationship.)


4) Country western music. Wow.. that should be at the TOP of my list...

5) Back stabbing friends. (I truely feel really sorry for these people more than anything else)

I am such a jerk.

Yeah.. You might not think so. But I am, I'll admit I have not been very kind to my parents this week. I am afraid it is all my fault that they are so depressed... I went to the Library today to get away.. hoping that I could figure out what's wrong.. I sat around just thinking about how short of a fuse I had this week and now I feel terrible.. I just hope I can make it up to them... Well I know I definitly can't myself.. I'm going to need alot of help from God.. I can't have patience without His help. Yeah but in other words.. I am in need of prayer big time still. Pray that I would rely on God more this week. And that I wouldn't be so self centered.. Probably not possible because I am one of the most selfish people ever to exist.. Ok I take that back, yes it is possible because I can do all things through Christ. But I don't always rely on Him, so yeah that's where I struggle a WHOLE lot. Btw if you guys need me to pray about something for you. Please post it on my blogger! Cause I really want to pray for you too!
Luv ya'll!!

Blah!

Yeah, I'm running out of idears for titles.. hehe so my post today is titled blah!!! Whoo hoo I'm excited!! Tommorow I get to go to six flags!!! But well.. the stupid weather people say it's going to be 40 and raining in Texas tommorow... I'm hoping that they are wrong!! Ohh dang... it doesn't matter anymore sigh... I just heard six flags was cancelled!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I had an awesome day today anyhow. I went with Danielle, Jessica, and Stevo to see the incredibles. I felt really loved because they changed the time just so I could go!!! Thank you guys!! You are sooo nice!!! But yeah, we had a really good time. Afterwards we went to Classic 50's, that was cool too.. Hehe, I found more entertainment in merely listening to Danielle and Jessica make weird comments on the birds in the little water fountain thingies hehe. MEG WE MISSED YOU!!! On a more serious note, I am really struggling this week again. Dang this has been a tough month.. But a great one because I have been relying on God more... If that makes sense... Well anyway.. This week has been tough because well.. I love my dad and all, but it's tough when he's home.. as I said in a previous post. Because he gets depressed and upset. He is the one person besides Eric and I in our family that is always pretty easy going and happy. So yeah, its tough to see him upset or depressed. Especially grouchy. He's been that alot... And not only that.. He's rubbing off on everyone else.. I don't know how much longer I can handle it.. So yeah its been a real test on my patience... So yeah, I could use prayer.. I've got a long week ahead of me hehe...
Well I love you guys!! Each one of you!! A WHOLE LOT!!!

Well anyway.. I'm really sick today so Hannah, Rache or Dr. Cool (That is Caleb Martin's nickname btw) if you guys read this tell Mrs. Mathis so she won't worry about Lora and I... I know how she is whenever someone doesn't come and forgets to call her.. I don't want her to worry... Ok so yeah as for my post today.. it's about how annoying.. and akward it is when someone thinks you are WAY older than you are. Or if they think you are married to a sibling (UUUGGHHHHH!!!!) So one day, my brother Ryan (who is 24) Lora (14) and I all went to Mcdonalds. So Ry went up to order something for us.. after he had ordered the guy looks at Lora and I and says..

Today I've been thinking...

Yeah that's right I'VE BEEN THINKING!! Amazing isn't it?? Hehe. Ok yeah so I've been thinking alot about how we all aren't always ourselves. I being one of the biggest people who struggles with this. I don't know, if you think, I mean REALLY think about it.. Its sooo stupid how we put on a fake personality sometimes. We are here to glorify God through our lifes.. Is hiding who God made us gloifying Him?? No.. It's really far from this. Plus God really wouldn't like this.. He loves us SOOO much... And He made us, each and everyone of us exactly how he wanted us!! Man I think the way we hide who we truely are probably makes God really sad... I mean think about it. If you painted a BEAUTIFUL picture, a picture that you made up yourself.. No one thing in the world is like it.. You LOVE it with ALL your heart. Well say this picture decides to not show its face.. It puts a curtain in front of its face.. How would YOU feel?? Ok yeah.. So that's all of my ramblings for today!!

I am working towards it anyway though. Mexico is one place that God has really placed on my heart. So in other words guys pease be praying that God's will would happen in all of this.. and pray also that if it is God's will that I don't go.. that He'll give me the strength to handle it.

What I've learned this week.

Hey peoples!!!
Well I'm just gunna write a quick post about what God has taught me this week. Ok well, for starters, last week I made a stupid mistake... I decided I was going to do something without getting advice from people. Well anyway, I just did this on my own ideas and what I "thought" God was telling me to do. Wait I take that back.. I didn't exactly get involved with this thinging, but I was about to. Ok to the point now.. I was just about to take a step forward and step into it when.. well on wednesday night right before I did sections with my sparkies.. I had some time on my hands, so I found a little corner, and opened my bible up to Proverbs (I love proverbs!!) I read Proverbs 15:22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. And Proverbs 16:2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed but the Lord. And Proverbs 16:9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps. These three verses just really got to me. Because first, my motives were wrong, second, I didn't have any council. And third I didn't just give all this to God, I was just like.. I'm going to do this my way!! Well, I wrote this all out so you can learn from my mistakes. First DON'T do things without checking your motives, second DON'T do things without really getting on your hands and knees and asking God what he thinks. And third DON'T do things without getting advice from older, wiser people.
Ok well that's all I have for today!!
Luv ya'll TONS!!!
