REJOICE!

I get to go hang out with Cheryl and Michelle! YES!!! Woo Hoo!

The more I type........

THE MORE I CAN KEEP FROM DOING HORRRRIBBBLLLEEE HOMEWORK.!!

My Kitty

My kitty is sitting in my lap, and she is so sweeeeet. Today, I was so stressed out, and I almost cried at school, I'm behind cuz I missed one day, and I'm super duper stressed out.....I need some prayers yall!

Sick!

I hate being sick....

Great Concert....or not!

So, we were late, and the concert was already over when we got there! We got to see Barlow Girls, and they were answering some questions from the audience, and they totally ROCK, but we didn't get to hear them sing AT ALL! I couldn't believe it, and it just wasn't fun....and I wish I could have been at bible study, cuz with what's going on, I need some bible loving, lots of laughing, good times. But yea, I got to hang out with some peeps from my school, that I don't get to hang out with that much, so that part was cool. And, it's not Sarah's fault, and she tried her hardest to get us there in time. We seriously thought it would go longer...but since it was free...it was super short. Well, I bet I'll laugh about it...but right now...it just sucks, and I have soooooo much homework!

Quwahhh

1:05 in the mourning is not a good time to be up. It's official, man....I'm dead...cuz tomorrow I will be....really reallllly tired. Anywho, at least it's P.J. day so I can look like a bum and everyone will think it was on purpose. Muahhhh ha

Problemo

You guys!
I really want a job! I'm sick of not having any money to really do anything. And I really want to work. I dunno what to do cuz I have no time, and what I do is important to me. I want to go to Church, SNL, and Bible Study, I also am on the Speech Team (every Saturday) and I want to do Play, and those of you who have done play know that it gets intense when the play gets close, oh and I'm a Junior with Honor/2 AP classes. So....all that equals no time to work......but I want to really bad. Grrrrr, I'm frustrated.

What's your Favorite Verse??

Mine right now is Ephesians 5:1-2

"Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God."

What a challenge! Imitate GOD in EVERYTHING you do.

Dinner time!

So, I'm looking around my kitchen looking for something to eat for dinner, and there is noooothing that I want. Then I find some cookie dough, and I'm like, "YES!" So, I eat some cookie dough, and when I'm done I think to myself, "How old is this cookie dough?" I look on the rapper, and it says, Use of Freeze by ____, there's nothing there. If I get terribly sick and die or something...you'll know why.
People need to blog more, cuz it's annoying when you check them, and they're still the same from like forever ago, I know your busy, so am I, and I still ramble on about nothing! Come on!
Anywho, this weekend is going to be FUN! I've got a lot of stuff planned, and way to much homework, maybe I'll get some done while I babysit tonight.
Homecoming is coming up, guess what I'm doing instead of spending lots of money, dressing up, to go to the small gym, watch people degrade themselves by dancing like hookers, and drink some punch! Having a PARTY, with lots of movies and unhealthy food, and whatnot! A bunch of girls and I are going to watch movies with hot guys in them, so we can be like, "Oooo He's HOT!" Sounds good to me! LOL

I'M HOME!! woot woot!

SO, school was short! I love days like this. So SYATP was AMAZING! I wasn't nervous at all, and I think it went really well. Each year Sarah and I do it better and better! Thanx to all who came, or prayed, or supported me!
A few days ago I was sitting in my first hour class before anyone was there, and I had a huge water bottle of mountain dew, and I didn't shake it up or anything, I just opened it. There was seriously a chemical reaction or something, and it was like steaming of the top of it, and it was loud, but it didn't spray out, it was soooo funny.
Yesterday I checked out the youth group a the Family Christian Life Center in Tinley Park, and it was interesting. I wanted to see how welcoming they were, and how they did things, I decided that I like our Youth Group a lot more, but I really want to reach out to people, and start bringing new people in, cuz they need some JESUS!

Oh no, it's time for school!

LOL it's 7:41 and I'm still not at school! I really don't want to go! LOL I wonder how long I can refuse to go??? Anywho 11:25 dismissal rocks, lol gotta go Sarah's yelling at me! ha ha ha

SUPER DUPER EXCITED!

So, I added that thingy so I will stop getting stupid blog spam, but I don't like it, cuz for some reason, I'm bad at entering the letters, when they are all close together, and lol, I mess it up a lot. But yea, I am SUPER DUPER EXCITED for SYATP. Today we hung up all of the stuff around school, and tomorrow it will be in the announcements! I hope to spark something to being the presence of God to my school more, cuz it really needs it. But yea, so if any of you don't go to school, or are homeschooled COME! Don and Justin are going to bust out some guitars, and I get to talk again...lol (it might sound a bit familiar) and we get to pray! So tell your parents, and your friends to go to SYATP! And for those at other schools, have lots and lots of fun, cuz it's SUPER DUPER COOL!

good times...gooooood times

I was kinda nervous about today, mostly cuz it was a bunch of teens like myself, but I'm really glad that I got to do that, and I think it's such a blessing, cuz I really love to do stuff like that. Thanx guys for being soo supportive, seriously! It made me so happy. God is using me, and I love it. I know that He'll never stop, adn I hope that I don't get in the way of His plan. Cuz it ROCKS! Today was fun, and Wednesday is going to be sooooo amazing. YEA JESUS!!!! Well, I'm about to pour myself a big glass of Mountain Dew, and I'll be on my way to homework. I think next mission trip should be to Southern Africa! How does that sound!? Te he he he!

stress

everytime I start thinking about how stressed I am, and how everything is a mess, I think of people who have it worse. Like in other Countries, or in New Orleans, or even down the block. I've got so many blessings, I can't even count 'em! So I decided that my weekend smells like fog! I was outside and I was like,"It smells foggy." This weekend better rock, cuz I'm not gonna have another one for a really long time, or maybe 5 days.

my mom hooked me up!

with four 2 liter bottles of mountain dew! dew has become my study tool, and my "I can't wake up" tool! YEA! SO, I was up till like 12 something studying for this big test I have today. I can't wait for this weekend to begin! Oh man, it's so close I can almost smell it! I don't know how my weekend smells yet....but I'll let you know.

Is that a bed, or a hard cold floor?

So, I'm tired, reallllly tired. And I have no time to blog or anything else, yet I still blog. Today in my 2nd hour class (A.P. American History) I laid on the floor, and it was hard and cold, but I could've sworn it was my bed. I'm reallly excited for the SYATP rally....really excited. Well, I have a lot to do. Today I'm packing a truck that is going to New Orleans from our school. I'm glad I get to help, but I wish there were more hours in the day. It feels really nice outside, so I am going to go do homework out there, and hopefully NOT fall asleep! Wish me luck! Oh and JACK ROBINSON! ha ha ha

Sun Rise

The sun is rising
each minute brings a new shade of color to my eyes
God's glory is rising for all the world to see
surrounded by His artwork, His masterpiece
it's like a puzzel and I'm a piece
each sound, smell, and color has been here since the world began,
and it's here for me.

I went to camp, and yea...it was amazing, and God is awesome, and I'm on fire! Seriously, have any of you seen Fantastic four, where he's like, "It's like this but all over!" Well it's like Jesus, but all over! I am burning up right now, and I hope I can ignite everyone else. That picture is me, with Jesus's love, lol. but I'm not all swole like he is....did I spell that right?
So, today I went to a church in Wisconsin, and the pastor was talking, and he said if or when we die...and he continued the sentence. And I had to think about it..and I was like what does he mean, of course we're all gonna die. But ya know what....we never know when Christ is gonna return, it could be tomorrow. I never really lived a life thinkin Jesus could return at anytime. But with the stuff that's going on in the world....it seems near. I know people have been saying this for hundreds of years...but, seriously...ya never know when. And the next thought is...am I ready? who can I help get ready? And by ready I mean accepting Christ.
So tomorrow, what can you do to help someone with Christ, and that doesn't mean approaching someone, and being like "Hey I'm ___, and you need Jesus!" You could just talk to them, and show them love, cuz it doesn't matter what you do if it's without love it's not gonna work. That's some Jesus stuff right there!! See what camp does...it gets me in this preachy mood, and I love it!
So, today was fun, and I need to do homework, and then get my butt in bed, cuz I get a bit loopy without sleep...if you couldn't tell.....
Can anyone tell me what the opposite of a baked potato is?

I'm a lame!

This mourning, I got really scared and jumped like an inch out of my skin when.....my toast popped out of the toaster! Wow! I'm special! I get to go to camp this weekend! I'm excited, and I can't wait to see all of you for the first SNL, I hope to be there, if I don't have to much homework. Homework has been consuming my life, I didn't even finnish it all tonight, and it's 10:58! I tried to go to the library to not fall asleep while doing my homework, but I STILL FELL ASLEEP! On the table, in the middle of the library! I've fallen asleep sitting up, outside in my backyard, sitting on the floor, at school, and even while doing dishes. Seriously! Well, the last one was an exageration, but seriously it's a problem! Anyone have any advice on how to stay awake doing homework? While reading the Iliad I drank a lot of dew, and that helped a lot. This mourning I brought it to school in a water bottle, yum! Well, nighty night, I need to go get some zzzzzz's!

the worst book ever!!!!!!!!!!

So guess what I have to read like 200 pages of by Thursday? Well, it's the worst book in the world...it is about some stupid war, and a bunch of made up gods, and it is known as the Illiad! I can't stand that book, even though I haven't started it yet! I read the Odyessey, and I hated it so I'm assuming the same.
Today my English teacher talked about Intelligent Design and the idea of Creationism, and she called it hocus pocus, and said that it was wrong, and that evolution was scientifically proven, when it's not. And it really bothered me, and it bothered Sarah even more! She was seriously offensive! I thought you weren't suppose to talk about it in school unless someone else brings it up. But she brought it up, and barely let anyone else talk! And she says it doesn't belong in school, like in Biology classes, when she brought it up! I was not a happy camper! It makes me want to learn a bunch of really smart stuff to say to her so I could be like, "So there!" I have read Case for Faith and I LOVE IT, but I also want to read Case for a creator, and Case for Christ. Lee Strobel sounds like my kind of guy, he set out to disprove Christ, and ended up believing in Him. Sounds a lot like me! I remember when I use to read the bible, just to find things to argue with others about. And look at me now! Well, better to get to all that homework 8-( It any of you want to cry me a river, be my guest!

Fast Forward!

I had fun today, and I'm really tired. Pray for me, cuz it's really hard to live at my house sometimes. Like some days it's darn right unsafe, and other days it's just my dad sitting around knee deep in depression talking about the job he had when I was in sixth grade, and I just want things to fast forward! I want to skip it, and go off to college. But God uses this stuff to teach me, cuz I think that whatever I do in my life, that God is going to use all of these experiences for something great.

I love my friends!

So, today was a hard day. My family is so disfunctional, and I seiously don't know how I can put up with living here. Before I went to the Stupid Movie Night, my family exploded, and everyone....was just crazy. I don't even want to go into details, but I didn't know if I could go to Space's cuz I was so upset, and I didn't feel like putting on a mask to cover that up. But I went anyways so I could be around my friends, and not be at home. Instead of pretending to feel okay I really felt happy, I had so much fun laughing with everyone and holding little Seth!!!! Sometimes you don't know the effect you really have on someone. And today you guys didn't know that you were helping me feel better after being in such a horrible mood. I am so grateful for you guys!

FRIDAY!

Today is FRIDAY! I just have to get through this day, and then I have Labor Day weekend to look forward to. YEA! I love Fridays!
