Youth Group Tonight!!

Youth group tonight!!
I get to see all my friends... :)

Points, planks, and sisters.

My sister Molly and I don't have the greatest relationship.
I'm sure some of you already know that. lol.

We both find faults in each other that we both, actually have.

Of course neither one of us is willing to admit that....ever.

Today she had just annoyed me immensely, and I just decided to stop talking and try to forget about it. Then my eye started hurting and I went to the mirror to see if there was something in my eye.

Then it struck me.

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7:3

WHOA

Reality check

There wasn't anything in my eye. At least, not that I could see.

I was just amazed what God can do to make you see a certain point, or a fault you need correcting on.

POINT TAKEN!!!!

The Computer

I think we all spend waayyy to much time on the computer.

It's very addicting.

I also think you all should get off your comfortable chair and go run around your house 3 times.

I dare you.

Ice Skating (blah)

Today with my home school group we all went ice skating!!!!!!!!

Um yeah, I'm not really as happy as those exclamation points make you think. I'm not much of an ice skater. Oh don't get me wrong, I could probably be good if I wanted too (:P), but I don't.

When I was about 8, I broke my leg ice skating in my neighbors yard.
It was so cool! (Not the breaking of the leg part, the self made ice rink in their backyard) But very bumpy. So I was getting really good, (well as good as an 8 year old can get) and I was on my 3 twist around thing-don't know what they are called...OH! a spin-and my blade got caught on a bump on the ice, and my foot was trapped and my leg cracked.

The x-rays were really cool! There was just a big line down my bone. Ahaha sorry if this is gruesome. :P

After that I didn't go ice skating for like 5 years, and then Kelsey invited me to her birthday party at an ice rink. I went, terrified, but I still went. Got on the ice, fell on my knees, got back up, and skated (barely). Didn't like it at all. It was cold, and my knees hurt. And besides that, I think I lost something when I broke my leg. I'm guessing it was my self-confidence on the ice. Sad isn't it? :(

That was 2 years ago. And I haven't been ice skating since. But then our home school group was going, and I thought I could go, read a book, see my friends, and get out of school. But Tori, who can get me to do almost anything, convinced me to rent some skates. She said we could fall down together.

Well TORI, you are a MUCH better skater then I am so it was just basically me falling!!! :) haha I love Tori though. She rocks.

Oh yeah, back to ice skating. Well, I don't have much else to say except that I had fun being with my friends. But I don't think I'm going ice skating again.

I hate the cold, and if you didn't already know this.....ICE RINKS ARE COLD!!!!!

I roller blade now though. I loooove it. :) So I'm good.

Did you like my story?? It's all true, and it's how I feel.

MY LIFE

My life is good right now. Tomorrow I might not be saying that. But now it's great.

Have you looked outside? It's shiny. Meghan be happy. =P

Today I went to Bethanys. As always, we had a ton of laughs and we took awesome pictures. Bethany is my biffle and I don't think I could live without her. =)

News:
Meghan got a blog!! Check it out. http://www.meghan-moviefreak.blogspot.com/
I need to clean my hamsters cage. . .poor Sheby
I officially hate skiing and ice skating.
I'm going on a strike against winter...who's with me?! boo ya.

Yeah

I really don't have a lot to say. Maybe later. ;)

Funny things

It's funny how you can have your mind made up. You made a decision. You're going to stick with it. And then....something happens. You find out that it's not as easy as it looked. For some people this simple misunderstanding can be the biggest mistake they ever made. For others, it made them stronger, wiser, braver. But we don't know which one we'll be until that moment comes. The moment of choices. Left, or right. Which one are you planning on choosing?

Sometimes it seems like you know a person. And then they throw a curveball. Take you by complete surprise. You aren't even sure who they are anymore. They make you rethink everything.

Well I think that if you agree with what I'm saying, then we all need to trust God more then ever.

Ahh sorry if I seem to be going...uh wack. Well more wack then usually! =P
(Yes I put that in just for you Ashlee :)
But certain things have been, lets say called to my attention. =)

Here's some good news though!!! I got this WONDERFUL letter in the mail from one of my BEST friends in the whole entire world. I'm not going to say who it is cuz, uh they may not want me too. But this girl is awesome, and I love her to death!!!! She is so nice and thoughtful and in her letter she told me how much she loved me, and what a special kind of friend I am. Well I don't agree with her on half of what she said about me, lol, but if she feels that way then, uh, good for her. ;)
This girl rocks and I love her!!!!!

Whatever happens...

Yeah it hurts, when they're all talking about that someone special. What did you think? That having you heart pricked didn't kill? I feel like I'm dying from the inside. No one understands. They're all so stupid! I walk right past them and they don't even notice what's going on right inside of me! It's a storm I can't control. Do I have to scream to be heard? Do I have to die to be seen? I don't want any of this. I want them to stop flaunting their good looks. I want them to stop talking about all those things that don't matter. I want to know what happened to depth? What happened to character? What happened to dignity? It's all gone now. In those people who used to know what was important. They don't understand anymore. They're all fakes. Liars. Cheaters. They'll never get it. They don't want too. Ignorance is bliss. Oh yeah?? Well ignorance hurts. It kills. From the inside. This world is changing. Right before our very eyes. What are we going to do about it? How are we going to change the uncontrolable? How are we going to make a difference, in this once lovely world...

"Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him." Philippians 1:27-29

Christmastime was here! ...And is now over

Sorry I haven't told you anything about my Christmas. Let's just say it was great! =] I got an iPod Video, some books and other little stuff. I love books. All you have to do to get me to love you is give me a blueberry muffin and a book. Or you could just ask. =P My cousins came over on Christmas Eve (which is also my mom's birthday) and we had this seafood chowder...stuff. It wasn't that bad. But I didn't really like it. Then on Christmas morning we went to my aunt's house and she made ham with raisin sauce just for moi. =] I love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday, and not because of the presents. Though that does help. ;] I hope you all had a great Christmas too.

Eragon and walking

Ooooh ok so today I went to see Eragon with Meghan! One of the best, movies, ever!! We had a lot of fun, Megs bought me candy because she is a good friend and rich. Ahah. =] Here is the movie poster.

Oooh scary. It's actually not that gory. Well it's PG so I guess it can't be. I think the book is better, they tried to stuff a 600 page book into and hour and 30 minute movie. But the movie was still awesome!! I highly recomend it. =]

Saturday was an....interesting day at least. I went over Bethany's and guess what?! She was bored!!! I shocked you there didn't I? =P But anyway she wanted to walk to Rite-Aid, just because. I was hungry, I wanted food. Bethany wouldn't give me food. She said we could get some after we got back. When I asked her how long it would take us, these were her words. "Oh just 5 minutes more then it would take biking. So like 15 minutes." Bethany can be very blond sometimes. Very, very blond.

So we started walking....and a hour later we still weren't there!!! Bethany kept saying, "It's so much shorter in the car...." And I was just yelling at her because I hated her with passion. Aha no I didn't but I did want to hurt her.

I was so hungry when we got there, I ran in a bought a big bag of potato chips. it cost like 4 bucks but I didn't really care. We ate like all of them anyways. Ohh and we took Beth's dog Linkey with us, he is so cute!

Bethany also convinced me to rent a movie, so I went in to pick one and she told Link to stay outside. He really loves Beth, so he kept trying to come in. But it was really funny cuz he thought we were in Hallmark (right next door to the video store) and these people were petting him and thene when they went inside Hallmark, he just followed them right it. All in all it was a very weird day. And funny. Beth and I have strange lives. =]

Meghan <333

Me: So basically we just stand there while the parents clean up.
Meghan: I'm good with standing, unless of course there is an opportunity for sitting.

&

Meghan: I was waiting for the opportune moment to ask my parents about Eragon...
Me: And...?
Meghan: The opportune moment never came.

Ahaha I love this girl!!
She is my drama queen.
<3

Brianna

Brianna: I have a confession to make Sophie...
Me: What is your confession?
Brianna: I dropped the Shieks turban in the mud
Me: How could you!?!?
Brianna: Well first there was this bird and then the donkey ran away and he fell into a and then there was the bucket with the cold water and I...I...I...WAAHH.

Poor Brianna! Oh well, she'll be fine...soon.
LOve you!!!

Um....yeah

Um, yeah ok. So the reason I haven't posted is because there is nothing to post about in my life...But now I have a couple of things.

Last night was youth group!!! I love youth group, it's so much fun. I get to see all my friends (my kins;) and learn some pretty awesome stuff about God, and making the right choices. I have to go to Ashlee and Tori's house to get to youth group, cause I live a hour away from the church.
=[ It's good in a way because I get to see them! I don't get to see them a lot so I miss 'em. =] Naomi (their little sister) told me something wicked cool. She wrote a letter (actually email) to Santa! They don't believe in Santa but it's still a cool idea. You can find the link to write a email to Santa on Tori's blog. But anyway, Naomi said in her letter "Jesus loves you!" And she got an email back (I'm sooooo doing it!) and "Santa Clause" said that he was glad that she brought up Jesus cause he's the whole reason we celebrate Christmas!!! Isn't that just fabulous??

It snowed this week. =[ Just a little. I don't like snow. I'm sorry to disappoint you people! But I don't. It's cold, it gets everywhere, and I don't see ONE thing magical about it!! Ok, yeah it's really pretty, but it never stays pretty. I need to move to South Carolina. Ahaha.

So I think that's all of my news...Oh yeah! I can't talk. Well I can, but not very well. I don't sound like myself. It's funny for people like Bethany but not for me. It feels weird. OK, so here's my advice...DON'T GET SICK!!!!

Psh and don't say you can't help it!!! You all know you can....

Not feeling so hot...and the 30 Hour Famine!

Uh, whenever I'm not feeling very good I'm always irritable. I can't help it sometimes. It's just like my body's saying, "I'm not feeling great, now all your friends and family must pay!" Haha, that's probably a little extreme, but I am sometimes like that. So I apologize in advance if I snap at you soon. I'm not feeling so hot... =/

But I'm still feeling good enough to post. =] Tori you must be proud. =P
2 days ago was my youth group's 30 Hour Famine. It was...simple amazing. I feel like I experienced so much in that one day that I would have normally experienced in like, a week. Or something like that. On Friday there was the usually youth group but the people who were doing the Famine slept over (I was one of them). We played sardines. It was sooo much fun! On Saturday we decorated the church for Christmas, and then Elias and Roscoe shoot everybody. Don't worry, it was foam bullets. =P It was so funny. After we did that we went to The Lazarus House. That is a homeless shelter in...Ahh I forget the town. Sorry. =D We split up into two groups, one group (my group) stayed and cleaned some of the house, and organized the food storage..um place. And the other group went to the soup kitchen and the thrift shop and they helped restock and load up a van. Then we went to Boston! We rode the subway, that was funnnn. In Boston we were supposed to do a picture scavenger hunt, which we sorta did, but one of the things on the list was take a picture with a homeless person. And to not seem rude we bought them a Burger Kind Jr. Whopper meal. So we wouldn't be like, "Hey we need your picture. Thanks, see ya later!" Ahaha. So we started too, (F*Y*I* "we" is the girls, it was girls against the boys. We so would have beat them if we, uh hadn't....well you'll see. ;) but we couldn't really find a homeless person. But then Jessully (sorry if I spelt it wrong!) saw this dude sitting on a bench, and then he feel off of it and didn't move. So we were like, oh yeah he looks homeless. So Jessully went and put the food next to his head, but he didn't even move. We were just like...umm ok, lets go! But then someone was walking by him and took the food. Tori, Christa, and Miss Wendy went over and told him that it was for the guy on the ground. They talked with that guy and another girl for like 10 minutes. And some of the girls were crying and/or they were scared. It was kinda freaky. So basically we went back to Burger King to get food for like 5 more people because they were all homeless and hungry. And they were all on drugs too. =[ And then they called an ambulance for they guy on the ground because he was like, trying to talk but he was having a hard time, and he had blood on his face where he hit the ground. It was all so sad and scary at the same time. There was another guy there, Dennis, he was really nice and he was homeless too, but he didn't belong there. He become addicted to achohal in high school, but then he was sober for 9 years. And then in Hawaii this summer he took a sip of beer and became addicted again. He asked us to pray for him, because he wants to get back onto the right track again. So please pray for Dennis, and all the other homeless people out there. And remember how blessed you are. I know I am.

1 Corinthians 7:34-35

This is an awesome verse that really tells us what, as young Christian girls, God wants us to do. =]

An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord." -1 Corinthians 7:34-35

Sometimes...

Sometimes I wonder what people think of me...and then I think why should I care? Sometimes I wonder, why God is so close, and then so far. I wonder why my friends are my friends. Why do they like me? There seems to be so much wrong in the world, how can I find the right? Why can't you see what I'm really feeling? Why am I pretending to be fine. Or am I not pretending...is that really how I feel...? Why am I so confused about the simple things, and why can't I understand the uncontrolable things? Can I change myself? Why would I want to!? Is there something wrong with me? If so, then why do I have such great friends? Who am I? Who do I want to be...Am I missing something? Why am I afraid....who can help me........

Never Alone

I waited for You today

But You didn't show

I needed You today

So where did you go?

You told me to call

Said You'd be there

And though I haven't seen You

Are You still here?

I cry out with no reply and

I can't feel You by my side

So I'll hold tight to what I know

You're here and I'm never alone.

this is part of a BarlowGirl song, Never Alone.

I love this song because it tells me simply, and truely, that I never really am alone...even when I feel like the only person left on earth.

*Sigh*

I hope everyone realizes that I am posting a lot right now cause I am bored. *Hint Hint*
Write me some emails! Or go on IM. =]


Posting is fun!

Thanksgiving is tomorrow!

I loove Thanksgiving. It's always a happy time for my family. =] We go to my mom's side of the family for Thanksgiving, there is my Aunt Lisa, Uncle John, Emmie (she's almost 15), Jilly (the BEST cousin eva! She's 12) and my grandmother. And this year I think they are inviting some other people, not sure who. lol. This year I can't wait to see Em, cause she got some new books, (haha one thing I'm thankful for this year. =) and I have to steal them. Hey she teased me, serves her right. =D And they have cats, I love cats. I'm hoping to get a kitten for Christmas, ha! If that EVER happens there will be a HUGE post here. And lots of screaming. =]

Mu ahaha

Um yeah. Basically I'm writing this, because Tori yelled at me. =[ Ok so she didn't yell exactly, but Tori is tall and intimidating. =P But everyone loves her.
So in my life, it's pretty much the same, sadly.
Last weekend my youth group had like, what I call a praise weekend. On Friday we went to a Thanksgiving Praise...umm, gathering and sang, there was a short skit and a speaker. Briton Price (is that his last name??) was the speaker, he was so funny! Kind like a male Jodi. But then, no one is like Jodi. On Saturday our youth group held a youth conference. Where a couple of youth groups came from all around to have a conference. It was wicked fun! Our youth group was the band, it was sweet. Tori played the keyboard. Roscoe, Kyle, and Kevin played the guitars. And Erika, Ashlee, Brianna, Arianna, Katelyn, Kaeleigh, and I sang. =] It was so awesome. There were a couple of weird things that happened that day...but I'm not going to mention them because most of you know what happenend, and it's my little secret. =D But yeahh, anyway it was totally sick. I spent so much time with my friends that now I miss them. Sad huh?
Ok so that's my post! It should keep you entertained for a little. ; ]

Starting up again

I have started posting once again! I think, I hope. Want to know why? Of course you do, if you didn't you wouldn't be here. Life has inspired me. The people, the sights, sounds, the movies, music....Everything. Even my mom. (ha don't tell her that. =) Nothing much has happened to me lately, unfortunately.
But today was the most wonderful day, full of hard work and a good reward. Bethany and I used her tractor to (I have no idea what you should really call it) rake up the leaves into a big pile near her tire swing. Then I would push her (or she would push me) back and forth over the pile, and the person on the swing would jump off into the leaves! It was totally sweet! The pile was so big that you completely disappeared when you jumped. Word to the wise: EVERYONE get a tire swing and big, huge, trees!
We could all have a party. =]
