Hay Guys ;)

Howdy ya’ll. Oh yes. I had to put this up :)

HOEDOWN!!!! OH MY, it was sooooo much fun! My friends and I went to a ranch in Morgan Hill with a bunch of people from our school. We line danced and square danced. Haha we failed so bad. But we had fun :) And that’s all that matters to me. And the hayride was awesome too. I think I went on it five times! It was just so relaxing and beautiful. The last time we went, the night was so gorgeous and you could see so many stars! My friends and I saw Orion and the Big Dipper and the Small Dipper. You could also make out the Big Bear. It is just so amazing. It takes some of that light from the stars HOURS to travel to Earth. Its truly amazing how God created the universe. I will never stop being in awe of His beautiful creation.

The Young Victoria

Queen Victoria: [sobbing] I'm so sorry! I thought I was going to lose you!
Prince Albert: I don't think he was a very good shot.
Queen Victoria: Why did you do it? So stupid, why did you do it?
Prince Albert: I had two very good reasons. First, I am replaceable and you are not.
Queen Victoria: You are not replaceable to me!
Prince Albert: Second, you're the only wife I've got or ever will have. You are my whole existence, and I will love you until my very last breath.

Oh my ketchup. This was an amazing movie. I loved it dearly. Yes, you could consider it a romance instead of a biographical film. But life is full of love. YOU MUST WATCH IT!!!!!! PLEASE DO!!!!!

All love should be this cute! It definitely was made to be like this. God created marriage to be an amazing bond between a husband and a wife. The world today sees it as such a finite thing, that if you don’t enjoy your spouse, you can get rid of them. But that is not how it works. It is a ‘for death til we part’ kind of deal. That is why it is so amazing. As you get older, you are still teenagers in love. Love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out.

I’m BAAAAAAACCCKKKK!!

Hey guys! I’m back from the great country of Mexico!! I had the most amazing experience. I made many new friends and learned a lot about myself.

In Mexico my group built a room for a church. I thought I had a picture, but apparently I don’t. Sooo….sorrie about that. But it looks really pretty. I had paint samples on my arms for a while :P

The kids there are so cute and adorable! I wish I could stay there forever with them! They love to be hugged and love to write on people. My arms are  still covered in SHARPIE signatures!!! One of the little girls was just learning how to write so she copied any word that she saw onto my arms :)

How I wish I was still there!! Not that I miss not taking showers for a week or smelling like cows or using port a potties every day….cuz I realllllllyyyyy don’t.

I guess I wish I was still there because my friendships seemed so much more alive. I know that sounds weird, but its true. I made a bunch of new friends and hung out with people I never saw myself being with. Its a type of Mexico Magic, I suppose, that brings people together like that. But my only dream right now is to keep all those new friendships. Bcuz who knows what could come out of those friendships…you just never know.

MEXICO!!!

Hey guys :) I’m off to MEXICO!!! i’m going on a service trip to there. Its gonna be soooo amazing. IM STOKED!!! you can’t imagine the excitement I feel. Its a blessing to be able to go and serve God there. Thats not the only perk. We get to see the shining faces of the families who we help. Its so kool to see how blessed they feel when we give them the little we have to offer. SO pray for me and some others who are off to go to MEXICO!!!

Also, theres this thing called Mexico Magic. Supposedly it makes you ‘fall in love’. Eh, i dont know how well it works. Its never happened to me. Maybe it will this year. Maybe not. I hope I at least make  some new friends and better the relationships with the friends that I have.

I know it may seem this way, but I have a hard time saying what I mean and telling others how much I care to the people I care about. So…if you know me please take that into consideration as you talk to me…okay? I love you guys so much. and thanks for reading this!!

Time is on no one’s side

hey guys :) sorrie I haven't blogged in a while. I’ve been busy though. Anyway I wanted to share the story of Time. Time is a funny thing. It goes through your life making amazing things happen. Sometimes it makes some bad things come into your life that cause those amazing things to go away. And that hurts you. But, over Time, your heart heals. You see your mistakes and know how to better deal with those problems if they come again. But it never works. You can never be ready for what comes at you. It will be when you least expect it. The wound opens every time you see that one face, who won’t look at you. The face that meant so much to you. And now they will never know that you cared so much for them because they won’t so much as glance your way.

Forgiveness

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

¹ Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;
² Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
   to my cry for mercy.

³ If you, LORD, kept a record of sins,
   Lord, who could stand?
⁴ But with you there is forgiveness,
   so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

⁵ I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits,
   and in his word I put my hope.
⁶ I wait for the Lord
   more than watchmen wait for the morning,
   more than watchmen wait for the morning.

⁷ Israel, put your hope in the LORD,
   for with the LORD is unfailing love
   and with him is full redemption.
⁸ He himself will redeem Israel
   from all their sins.

Isn’t it amazing that God doesn’t keep record of every little thing we do wrong? Once we ask for forgiveness, its all gone. He never takes a second look at our sins. He forgives and forgets, you might say. Thank goodness He doesn’t keep track of our past sins. He knows mine would be HUGE. Isn’t it amazing though? That He can totally forgive us and not hold a grudge? He knows I can not do that very well. But I’m learning. He will always forgive us no matter how many times anyone messes up. And He does not love us any less.

What is Love?

Well…it is defined as this “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.”(1corinthians 13:4-7) NOW THAT IS LOVE!!!  Don’t we all wish we had someone who loved us this way? Someone who loves us unconditionally, no matter what? Someone who would help us through everything? And never get mad or frustrated with us? Well, there is someone like that. And his name is Jesus. He is the perfect example of love. He is always there for us, no matter what. Just say a word and he hears you. Don’t you hate it when you need to talk to someone, but they won’t answer you? or they don’t have the right words? Well, Jesus can do anything. He is the best thing that happened in my life. And I hope that he will be the best thing in your life too.
