Half-Whooh

Whooh! I got 3 [almost 4] weeks of math done today! I know it wasn't my original goal, but hey I got some done!! I'll work extra-hard this weekend. I'm just so happy I was actually able to motivate myself to do some. That's basically all that my day entailed..I didn't go shopping actually, I spent the day with my horses. So, yeah.

I'm a failure

Why oh why oh why am I in such a schoolwork rut? I can not concentrate on my math at ALL. I've still got 24 weeks left to finish, and preferably by next Friday. So, if I start tomorrow, and continue throughout the weekend, doing 3 weeks of math a day, I'll have got 21 weeks done. So I'll have to do 3 more weeks. So, I'll add 3 more to my list tomorrow, or just do 4 weeks a day. Crazyyyy.

My dog Angel had an asthma attack today when I was walking her. I was SO scared. All the sudden she was just sucking in air, trying to breathe. Luckily it passed within 10 minutes. But I realized a horrible fact; Angels asthma is activity induced. She's overweight now, but shes always had this. So I'm going to be walking her a lot to help her lose the weight, and then we'll see how it goes from there. We only ran a teeny tiny bit, and she had an attack. I feel so bad. My poor puppy. =[.

Then, it was the season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance!!! The auditions are always awesome, considering some people make utter fools of themselves [one dude danced in his tightey-whiteys] or completely blow us away. I love this show, but my BFF Meg loves it even more. I'll have to call her tomorrow and she what she thought of the auditions. =]

UGH.

Again, no more math. I REALLY need to just buckle down and do it. Oh no...I really don't want to get behind schedule again. >.<

Tonight's youth group was awesome. The worship team practiced in the sanctuary, to get ready for when we do worship for the Church next Saturday/Sunday. [May 31st and June 1st.] I'm actually not going to be doing Saturday night service, because I'll be moving my brother. But I'll do Sunday mornings one. =]

After the youth group worshiped [sang] we had quite an interesting speech. The eighth graders [who wanted to] were asked lots of questions about their time in middle school, their spirituality, etc. I was asked...and my answers were interesting. It seems we all basically wish the same thing.

Then I hung out with my friends. <333.
Me and Katelyn and Jen are TOTALLY spazzing out over Creation. All 3 of us are going to be in the front, moshing our butts off. Its going to be a wicked awesome summer, I can tell you that much.

And, it also looks like I'm going to have a crazy busy weekend. Yay!!

Nothingness

Today I did absolutely nothing productive. I couldn't focus on math, so I just played around on the computer or watched T.V. I'm started to get stressed about schoolwork again...Great. *takes a deep breath*

Lord, help me focus. I need You, because my attention span is small, while Yours is mighty. Give me the strength and the will-power to buckle down and complete my schoolwork. My willpower is weak, but Your power is strong. I need You, and I know You're here for me. I love You.

Sundays awesomeness and Mondays revelation.

Well, here's Sunday and Mondays blog post. On Sunday, I was way too tired to even post, so I apologize. On Monday, I spent 2 hours writing a blog post for Sunday and that day, but my computer crashed, and I lost it. So here goes nothing, or everything, take your pick-

Sunday
I got up early, took a shower, and headed off to church. I was there early because I was helping Nikki out. So I watched her kids, Lucas and Josh, while she was packing stuff in the van, and then Nikki, her husband Matt, and I went to the Park, and set everything up. Then the kids got there [1st through 6th grade] and my friends, because they were volunteering too. So we hung out, and then we ate lunch. After lunch we had the Amazing Race. I was a leader for team yellow. We had a kid that was really out of shape and stuff, and they couldn't run...So we came in third. Out of six. We were the yellow team. Then all the teams played games. Me, Katelyn, and Aaron were just standing around. Then Aaron got stung by a bee. =[. Poor Aaron.

Then, me, Katelyn, Aaron and Micah got in Raedeans car and her dad drove us to the mall. Me and Katelyn were in the very back, and we were SO hyper. I couldn't stop laughing, and that made Katelyn laugh, and it was just hilarious. The guys kept looking at us like we were crazy [me especially] and Raedean and her dad were making fun of us. All in good fun of course. I <333 my friends.

Then, we get to the mall. Katelyn decided that she needed to wash her feet. So, I went with her while she washed her feet in the mall sink. She is SUCH a dork. But her feet did need to be washed. =P. When we got back, the rest of the youth group was there. So we got our tickets and got seated in the theater to see Prince Caspian.

So I was sitting on the inside, with Katelyn to my right, Brittani to Katelyn's right, and Raedean to Brittanis right. Anyways, the movie was AWESOME. The order was all screwed up and didn't match the book, but I can kind of see the reason behind it. They also threw in a romance between Caspian and Susan, which IS NOT THERE AT ALL in the book. But it was a nice touch. The Switchfoot song, This is Home, was not played during the movie, or the immediate credits, so I was pretty disappointed.

During the movie, Edmund's character said something funny. Apparently Brittani thought it was REALLY funny, because she laughed like a hyena for 45 minutes. It was crazy. I'm sure other movie watchers were pissed at her. But then again, me and Katelyn did a blow-by-blow commentary on the movie while it was playing, so I bet we were really annoying too. LOL.

So then we drove to Dairy Queen. Surprisingly, the guys were more hyper than me and Katelyn on the way over. But, at Dairy Queen things changed. Brittani was STILL laughing. So we were all laughing, it was crazy. I ordered water because I was stuffed from the popcorn at the movies. Apparently water is free at Dairy Queen. Yay for free water!!

Anyways, so it was me, Katelyn, Brittani, Curran, and Melissa in a booth. We were all SO hyper. I bet Dairy Queen thought we were drunk or something. Anyways, I guess I said something funny, because Curran spit blue slushie EVERYWHERE. As I was picking my purse up, I noticed it was blue and soaked. I was like, "Ew Corn [nickname] you got my purse wet!!" I guess that was funny because she exploded AGAIN. Ah, what to do with my friends? =P Our time spent at DQ is much more interesting than I can put into this blog though.

Then, we drove back to the church, where everyones parents either picked them up or they got a ride home. Jen, my instructor, gave me her old guitar. I'm SO SO SO excited!!! My first full size guitar! Granted, its old and clunky, but its still a guitar!! WHOOH-HOOH!!!!!

Then, Kris drove me home. As soon as I got inside the house, I crashed.

Monday
I was so weak. I felt light-headed, and really tired. My body just couldn't do things. I didn't do any math. I spent the morning reading the Chronicles of Narnia books; The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Last Battle.

My eyes were opened today. I re-realized today what I've known for a long time. I think C.S. Lewis brought things down to a level I could wrap my head around, because I most certainly can't wrap my head around God. Aslan is God. Everything about him C.S wrote in the image of my Lord. Of God.

"It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?"
"But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan.
"Are- are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund.
"I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."

That make me cry. "This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there." I can't really explain how it affects me. But it does, tremendously. Maybe it will touch you too.

Another part, in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, that gets me, is when Aslan is peeling Eustace's dragon skin off. Compare it to God taking our sins away. We are the dragon, we are Eustace. God is Aslan, God is the Lion. Read it, I beg you too. Read it, and maybe it will affect you like it affected me. I cried.

Lord, I don't know what to say. Open my heart, for me to have greater faith in you. Free my tongue, so that I may say everything I want to say to you. Then bind it so I may not utter a word against You. I need your help to stay on track, living for You. I may be weak, but You are strong. Hold me Lord, just hold me. Amen.

"Prone to wander, Lord I fear it, prone to leave the God I love.."
"Time, all you wanted was more time, but all we've ever had it time."
"I'm not who I was."
"Praise the Lord, oh my soul, praise the Lord."

SFQOTD- "This is your life, are you who you want to be?"
"This is my American dream- I want to live and die for bigger things."

You've got to be kidding me.

I spent two hours writing tonights blog. And then my internet crashed...and its gone. Two hours. And it contained my soul. I'm like, crying right now.

I guess I'll re-write it tomorrow.

=[

Sunburns

I'm very badly burnt on my shoulders. Aloe Vera is my best friend. My entire day was horsey, so you can read about that on my other blog.

Right now I'm busy looking for Switchfoot information. They are my absolute favorite band, and I want to know everything I can about them LOL. I'm also on a hunt to buy all of their CDs. Plus, my moms friend is a designer...So, if its not illegal, I'll have her make me a Switchfoot shirt. XD.

I feel the need to start a SQOTD.
Today's Switchfoot Quote of the Day-
The shadow proves the sunshine.

Way too hot

Today was way too hot. And I loved every second of it. Me and Allison did a lot of work in the horse stalls, so afterwards we put the sprinkler under the trampoline, and hang out there. We ended up bouncing and chillaxing for 3 hours with the kids my mom babysits. Can you say awesome exercise? We also cooled down a lot.

Way too bloody hot. And again, I LOVED IT. Awesome awesome awesome.

I've discovered a new love. Switchfoot Podcasts. Absolutely amazing. Its just another way for me to be even more obsessed with my favorite band. Awesome!

Anyways, I'm really tired and really hot. Sorry I didn't describe my day better. Too tired. Love ya- Katie.

Algebra

Don't you just hate math? Well try doing over 30 pages of it in one day. It took me for-freaking-EVER. Ugh. But, at least at this rate I'll be done with my entire years worth by the end of next week. Whooh, summer is almost here baby!!!

It was a gorgeous day. I wore shorts all day long for the first time this year. And its supposed to get even hotter tomorrow! I'm so happy.

Sorry for such a short post, but really, nothing happened today..

Eye-opening

Well, I got 3 weeks of math done today. If I can continue this up, I'll be finished with math in 2 and a half weeks. Whooh!

Its beginning to look like Tanner, a kid I babysit, might just take my turtle, Fifo home. His mom is thinking about it. I know Fifo would be in a great home, and I really hope its okay.

Then I went to youth group. We had worship team practice, which was fun. Then me and my friends hung out, a few of which I hadn't seen in two weeks! It was veryyy exciting to see them again. LOL, lots and lots of hugs were involved.

And then it was worship time. Amazing. After that, Kris got up and gave a speech on persecution. I was really hoping this would come up soon. I want to help so bad. Why do people murder people based on their religions? Why do people hate Christians so much? Christianity is the THE MOST PERSECUTED RELIGION. That's saying something. God, forgive them because they know not what they do.

This article was given as a hand-out, along with a few others on the same story. I seriously wanted to barf after reading it. Why oh why oh why. Murder will not gain the favor of Allah, because Allah does not exist. There is only one true God, and that is my heavenly father.

For more information on Christian persecution, [yes, go look it up] Google it. Also look at www.persecution.com and visit it. Check out Voice of the Martyrs too.

WHOOH.

I am completely finished with all my courses except for math. So now, for the next two or three weeks, I'm going to be completely consumed by math. Algebra, algebra, algebra. Someone shoot me now. But, I'm feeling pretty confident about it. I just need to buckle down and throw myself into it. I've got to finish this. Summer is almost here, and with it, my freedom from this stress.

Anyways, then we went to my guitar recital. I'm so thankful that I wasn't in it. [I didn't get enough practises in, and therefore just wasn't ready for it.] There were only like 20 people there, but if I had had to play in front of them, I probably would have puked. Everyone there was fabulous. My instructor kept giving me hugs [Hugs are awesome]. Then we ate dessert [oh my it was good!] and just chilled. All the students had chipped in to give her a gift, and we presented that to her. And she gave us these totally awesome necklaces. I have my own personal gift that I'm giving her tomorrow too.

Then I came home, and watched American Idol. I missed the first round, do to horsey issues, but I've already seen it on you tube. Omg, David Cook sand Switchfoot's song, Dare You To Move!!! Switchfoot is MY FAVORITE BAND EVER. If I was 10 years older, I'd so marry David Cook. I think Syesha will be leaving us tomorrow though...unfortunately. I'd really like to see her and David Cook as the top two. Her voice is phenomenal. David Archuletta has a good voice, but to me it just can't top Syesha. She does need to pick better songs however. Well, anyways, I want David Cook to win.

Schoolwork

More schoolwork today. Nothing interesting. Just worked on my written history exam, and then over-viewed my HOCM exam. I'll take it tomorrow. I decided not to do my Romeo and Juliet essay, and its not like it will hurt my grade, so...I just really need to finish math. Ugh. I've got a whole years worth of math to complete in one month. Somebody shoot me now.

Mothers Day!!

Today was Mothers Day, all around the world. A time for celebration, or for grieving. I gave my mom a new, springy purse and some very expensive chocolates. She shared them, and BOY were they good! Yum. Unfortunately, my mom was very sick today. She had to stay home from church, and all day long she was just really out of it. I feel so bad, I mean, its mothers day and she's sick. My poor mom. =[. My Dad and I went to church however. The sermon was awesome, all about parenting. It got kind of awkward though, when Pastor C was going on about looking into your child's heart. lol. Then I went to Sunday School, which was HILARIOUS. Gosh I'm going to miss that when I go to the high school one. Speaking of which, either next Sunday or the one after is the last Jr. High Sunday School class meeting. I'm so sad. After Sunday School Kris [the Sunday school teacher] drove me home. I babysit his kids so I know him really well. Then I ate lunch, and just relaxed. I watched POTC and had fun. I was on Young Rider for a good part of the day. I also talked to my neighbor over the phone, and helped her get her new computer started. LOL, shes so funny. I <3her. [This is Skyler's mom.] I think that we're going to buy the CD of the church sermon for my mom, because its basically to all mothers. She was really sad that she missed it.

And now, I just want to take a second to address everyone who's grieving today. Maybe they have not talked to their child/mom in weeks, months, or years. Maybe their child/mom has passed away. Maybe their relationship with their mom/child is very tough, and they think that they hate each other. Maybe a loved one is fighting overseas, and they miss them. Or maybe its just being missed in general. I know that I'm going to take time to pray for these people. May God bless them.

As for me, I'm extremely thankful for my mom. We may fight, bash heads, and seem to be on totally different pages of the same story [or maybe even a completely different book] sometimes, but we love each other. My mother supports everything I do, 100%. Without her, my life as I know it would end. Shes the voice of reason that this family needs. Lately, I've been wondering why we clash so much. I came to the conclusion that its because I'm exactly like her. Opinionated, stubborn, straight-forward, un-afraid, caring, smart, talkative, strong, independent, and a fighter. We both don't back down. Today I thank God for everything my mom has given me. I love you mom, and I know you must see yourself in me, and that's why you are so hard on me. Maybe that's why I'm so hard on you. I love you. Thank you.

Discoveries

Well, my day before the party will be in my Riding Diaries blog, so here goes the party history. lol, and the aftermath thoughs.

So, we get to the party. I'm like secretly freaking out, but kept my cool on the outside xD. So I walk in, and Skylers holding Max [hes a baby] and he was crying. So he says, 'KATIE! Take him please.' LOL. So I did, and walked Max around a bit. Then, the party went out. We talked every few minutes, and then we sat by each other during dinner, and talked. [Along with a girl named Tessa, shes a friend of mine.] And then we just hung out. I totally run out of things to say to him, so I end up making some lame excuse and leave, regain composure, and come back xD. OH! At the beginning of the party he came up to me and like...touched my face. O.o But his hand felt nice. =P. Then we played basketball together along with quite a few other teenagers, and I impressed myself XD. I'm goodddd, and I haven't shot hoops in a while. XD. Then, it was time for the kid to open his presents. So while he was doing that, Skyler came over and sprayed me will silly string. LIKE ALL OVER. I couldn't get him back because I didn't have any at that time. XD. So, later all the sudden he comes and wraps his arm around me, and scoots into the same chair as I am. I like flinched SO bad XD, I thought he was going to spray me again. Anyways, he had put a ball of silly string in my hood. Then he ran away xD. Tessa took it out, and I snuck up on him and like squished it into his hair. Everyone applauded me XDD. Oh gosh his hair is silky. LOL. Anywaysss, later me and Tessa were outside silly-stringing the little kids. That was fun. Then Skyler came out and we had a silly-string war. I got him REALLY good, and he got mad and walked off. Loser. XD. Then we went back inside, hung out, and ate cake. [Although I didn't have any because I didn't feel too good. Like all I've ate today is 4 tablespoon size pieces of watermelon.] Then, we just hung out. The party ended, and we had to pick up all the silly string. [Which sucked because it meant sweeping the parking lot. >.<] After that, me, my lil sis, Skyler, Tessa, and another little girl were just hanging out. My lil sis has a bit of a speech problem [Its not bad AT ALL. Its easy to understand her, but she has a tiny bit of trouble sometimes.] Skyler was making fun of her [which pissed me and Tessa off,] so we told him to knock it off. He did. Then I had to go, so Skyler gave me a hug and we left. Thats it.

Oh, but there is GOOD NEWS! Brittany came to the party for like 5 minutes. Then she left. And she didn't talk to Skyler the ENTIRE time. She just hung out with her older sister. Since I didn't go say hi to her, [I did smile at her though] Skyler was like, 'Oh yeah I can tell that you and Brittany are good friends'. [Sarcastically.] I was like, I never told you we were...I just said she was cool. XD.

But, there is bad news. Tessa told me that Skyler told one of her brothers that he thinks shes cute. Tessa, however, thinks Skyler is butt ugly [XDD] and that he makes her uncomfortable. So I'm beginning to think that Skyler like...gets crushes on all the girls he meets. Which means I'm one of them. xD. Since Tessa doesn't like him that way at ALL though, everythings good.

Oh oh OH! After I silly-stringed Skyler, he asked me to get it off him. So I got to like touch his hair and his back and everything. [Sweatshirt on xD] It was...lol. He touched me a lot tonight. [Never inapropriately.] I liked it xDDD. But he does that with all the girls...I think I have a crush on a player...=/. But he doesn't go 'out' with all of them, I think he just gets intense crushes on all of them. =P

So all in all, the night was pretty good...But I found out that I really can't make conversation with Skyler that easily. Theres really no 'common interests' that we share...which makes it a good thing, so I can never even WANT to go out with him. [Even if I did I'm not allowed to.] So that keeps it to just a crush.

I don't know if this makes any sense at all, but I'm glad that I realized that Skyler is a bit of a player. Like, he's not in a bad way, but he likes all the girls he comes in contact with. He's just overloaded with hormones, LOL. And, since I can't talk to him super easily, he doesn't make good relationship material. [Even if I wanted to date or was allowed to.] Which now means I can crush on him as intensely as possible, without any strings attached. Yay!

Best Day Ever?

Sorry about not writing last night, but here it is. Well, the first part of my day isn't even worth mentioning, but the second part definitely is!!! So, I was out catching the horses [in sweats of course. >.<] and I was wearing a really old crappy sweatshirt and stuff, with absolutely no make-up on. AH. Then, I hear voices. I say to my neighbor, 'Who the heck is that?' Then all the sudden this extremely hot guy is climbing over the gate, and I go, "Skyler?" And hes like, 'Yeah, who else dorkfish?" [which made me swoon XD] So, we talk for a second, and I remained composed, but I was very very very conscious of my appearence, so I dashed into the barn with some lame excuse so I could brush the horse hair off me and get out of that sweatshirt.Then, we walk back over to the house, I meet his mom and dad, and we talk for a while. [His mom is horsey] Then, we went inside, and he ASKS ME TO GO RUNNING WITH HIM. Unfortunately, I couldn't. He asked me if he could wear my shoes [because he forgot his running shoes XD.] So I go upstairs to get them, and he charges up behind me, saying he wants to see my room!!! I had to hold the door shut [no way was I leting him see it, there were...lady products out in the open =P] So we wrestled with the door [I was turning red SO bad] and he finally gave up. I told him that I'd show it to him when I cleaned it XD. So, then his lil sister comes and says that it was time to go. As he was leaving, HE SAID HE WOULD CALL ME. OMG!! HE'S GOING TO CALL ME!!!!!!!And the best part is that tomorrow theres this big birthday part for his little brother at 4, so I get to hang out with him then.Now, for the bad news.The girl he likes, Brittany, will be there too. Supposedly she doesn't like him back. We'll see I guess. I got sick that night though. =[

I'm SUCH an idiot.

Ughhh. Today was horrible. I couldn't focus on my exams for the life of me, and therefore got absolutley nothing done. So, now I'm going to be jam-packed with exams tomorrow. And, when we went shopping tonight, I left my purse in the Fred Meyers changing rooms. I didn't realize it was gone until we were home. So, we called the store, and [fortunately!] my purse is there. We'll pick it up on Saturday. Who knows if my money is still in there though. I did get some cute new socks and a new bathrobe though, lol. I got my mom a purse and some chocolates for mothers day...And I was thinking about death today. I know, weird, but I promise I'm not depressed or gothic or whatever. As we pulled out of our driveway, I got a strange feeling. Car crashes happen every day, and people die in them. I thought, 'What if we get in a car crash? What if we die?' And it scared me. I wanted to go home...for some odd reason. But then I prayed. I asked God to give me courage, and He did. I don't want to live my life in a bubble, or expecting the worst. I'm going to live it to its fullest. Always.

Goodbye Jason Castro! =D

Tonight is a night of celebration. Jason Castro has been voted off American Idol. I have been waiting for this for FOREVER. He has the vocal range of a teaspoon, [which, if you have ever talked to a teaspoon, is not much.] And he's just so mediocre compared to the others. Syeisha Mercado can BELT IT OUT, as can David Cook, [who is my favorite. I <3 you David C.] and David Archuletta brings that sweet, innocent voice to the competition. David C roughs it up with his edgy [and totally sexy] voice. Jason...just sucks. But hey, he is pretty. Modeling Jason? Your cocky enough for it. Anyways, a tribute to Jason...And his always-seeming-stoned attitude. ;]


Jason Castro before his dreads!! And I must say, he looks pretty hot.

Jason partying...I'd really like to show you the video of him drunk and singing on someones couch, but the user removed it from youtube. And photobucket. Dang them.

right after that, and it showed on AI, the dolphin twitched and Jason jumped back, saying 'WHOA!' Dolphin, I'm sorry. He touched you. =[

Just Jason. He is kinda pretty there...=/

Jason's 'I'm a wannabe rockstar' pose. I think he copied it from that Amanda Overmeyer that got voted off a while back.

Just Jason.

No. He is most definitely not my American Idol. And I never voted for him. HAH.

Kiddy, I'm right with ya! I AGREE.

Just Jason. Attempting to sing reggae...O.o

Just for laughs! =PP

4 exams down, 4 to go!

Whooh! Only 4 more exams. I have finished all my hard multiple choice exams. I have one for History of Christian Music though that I will complete tomorrow. Now I have a written exam for History and Earth Science, and a 600 word theme essay on Romeo and Juliet to complete. I should be done by Monday. I'm very happy. After that, I'll be doing about 3-4 weeks of math a day, and I'll be caught up in math in 2 or 3 weeks. Then, SCHOOL WILL BE OUT FOR THE SUMMER. I'm majorly excited! I almost didn't get to go to youth group today, which I was really sad about. But, fortunately I found a last-minute ride, [thank you so much!] and I got there. I love my youth group. Its totally centered around God, but its also wicked fun. I'm going to be very sad to leave it. [Because I'm moving on to high school this year.] Tonights youth group was especially special. We went upstairs to the high school room, and worshiped there. Then, our pastor came and gave a speech on baptism. I <3 his speeches. And then I came home and watched American Idol. OMGOSH, JASON CASTRO GOT VOTED OFF. This is SUCH good news, that I should probably devote a whole post to him. I just might do that. Great day. =]

Exam mood?

I seriously need to buckle down and do my freaking exams. No wonder I'm behind. I'm having a lazy week. For some reason I just can't seem to focus on my schoolwork!!! Its been so beautiful outside, and my attention wanders, and then I'm gone. Tomorrow I'm just going to DO IT. Like that nike motto, Just Do It. I live by that...only I can't apply it to my schoolwork. I'm a hypocrite lol. Otherwise, my day went okay. My dad and I are fighting though, which I hate. He's being really hard on me. I'm not sure if its because since hes gone during the week most of the time, he feels the need to step it up when hes home. But hes definitely over-doing it. Anyways, I've definitely got a song of the week. Its Take A Bow by Rihanna. Thats the music video. I <3 it. And, heres the song that inspired the name for this blog. Awakening by Switchfoot. And, because I'm in the mood to post videos, heres the song that Switchfoot will sing in the new Chronicles of Narinia movie, Prince Caspian. Click this. I think its called This Is Home, but I'm not sure. If you haven't noticed, music is...part of me. Its my soul.

Lazy Day

Today I just hung around and did absolutely nothing. I know, what an accomplishment! I really should have been doing exams, but my computer was being a butthead, and I just didn't feel like it. So I enjoyed the beautiful day God gave me. Nothing especially interesting happened today, except for our discovery about Cash, which you can read here. lol, my poor neighbor did call though, begging me to come help her babysit. She had taken on too many kids, and they were just going crazy. Unfortunately I could not go help, and I feel really bad about it...=[. I'm super tired right now. And I need to buckle down and finish exams. To make matters worse, I might not be able to attend youth group this week. Or guitar lessons. [Which actually might be a good thing because I haven't practiced.] By any means, I'm in for an interesting week...

I'm Awakening

One of my favorite songs, by one of my favorite bands. We're awakening. And aren't we all? Or, if your not, it seriously sucks to be you. 'I want to live like I know what I'm leaving.' Yes, thats exactly how I want to live. Because this world is not my home. I like to think of my life on earth as my temporary housing unit. You know, the one you live in for a short while, as you get back on your feet. Your saving up, waiting in anxious anticipation, for your dream home. Well mines with my God, my Savior. Heaven is my home, and it will exceed my wildest expectations. So for the short time I'm on this earth, I'm going to live for Him, always.
