The Weird Ways God Works..
The weird ways God works..
Isn’t it funny sometimes how God seems to know just what you need when you need it? Today I was driving home from school, and dwelling on the rather low points in my day, when I tuned into the song playing on my radio. It happend to be the chorus from a song on my new FFH cd..I love them. But anyways, it went like this..
Hey hey, it’s a good day, even if things aren’t going my way
Jesus is born and I am saved
Hey hey it’s a good day
As I was listening to it on my short drive home, I realized that it was wrong for me to be thinking about those bad or embarrassing moments in my day, but that i needed to be focus on God. Like the song said, I am saved and that is a thought that can turn any bad day into a GREAT one. So tomorrow, if you start to think your day is going wrong..just remember it’s a good day no matter what cuz you’ve got God and your heading to Heaven!!

My Dad
I love my dad so much..He has always been there for me. I can’t ever remember a time when he turned his back, or walked out, even if I had failed him. He’s been my biggest fan and supporter since day one. And also been there to dry my tears. When I was little, we had our little rituals that are etched in my mind. I can remember countless Christmas’ sitting around the tree reading stories, watching the lights flicker around the room. I can remember every spring the flowers he would bring me before my ballet recitals. He never failed. And although he was gone a lot, he always made sure he was home that night. I remember the excitement of him coming home after a three week business trip..I love yous’ said over the phone just aren’t the same. I remember all the times he told my mom how much he loved her, and all the times I caught them in each others’ arms. He promised me he would never leave her, and I have trusted him with my whole heart. I can remember so many times crawling into his arms after a bad day, a break-up, or just to say I love you. He’s always been there. He cheered me on in basketball, even though I never played that great. He supported me in cross country, and always wanted to see me to my best. I remember falling into his arms after a horrible meet and just crying. He told me, “Amanda, your a fighter, and you’ll do better next time” He was never disappointed in me, no matter how good or bad I did. He was there when I got my driver’s license. I remember all the movies we went to see, the ones mom thought were too bloody. We have always had the same movie tastes, which has brought many memories. He has always pushed me to succeed in everything, and to do my best. He has always had faith in me and knows I will fulfill all my dreams if I put my mind to it. I have a ring on my finger as a constant reminder of his love, and 6 journals that all begin with letters from him.
He’s always been there..and I will always love him no matter what.
I love you daddy!

It’s coming..
Ok..so weird title, I know, but it fits.. we got our cheerleading shoes today, which means one step closer to d-day..or our first pep rally. I mean, I guess there are people out there who like to overcome the odds, embarrassing themselves in the process, but I don’t happen to be one of them. Personally, I like to win my battles without everyone watching and waiting to laugh. But God didn’t call us to live in secret..so I must put myself out there, even if it is to be made fun of. Plus, it’s getting exciting, and all I have is my shoes..just wait till I get my whole uniform..who knows what might happen then. I might actually like cheerleading..but then, that wouldn’t be a crime. And plus, I’ve got Eve to keep me sane..and Sara who has strict orders to knock me upside the head if I get the bobble-head cheerleader walk going on.. So cheerleading might not turn out all bad..and i’m not here for me..just to cheer on our basketball players.. so good luck to them and good luck to our soccer and volleyball players..yah Kelly!!
I’m out..

Colored

When I was born, I was Black
I grew up Black
When I am in the sun,I’m Black
When I am sick, I’m Black
When I am cold, I’m Black
When I die, I will be Black
You were born Pink
You grew up White
When you are in the sun, you’re Red
When you are sick, you’re Green
When you are cold, you’re Blue
When you die, you will be Purple
And you call me colored

Cedarville Craziness
Well, I just got back from a trip to Cedarville University and it was so much fun! I love it there so much, and want to go super bad! However, the memories I made just on this trip will last forever. The people I met were so awesome..and very accomodating to us, the puzzled looks on our faces probably gave us away.:) And I got to see Rachel and Mary, and we(the girls) stayed with Elizabeth. I didn’t sleep much though..try sharing a twin bed with Eve:) And after coffee and Code Red, neither of us were much into sleeping anyways. Me and Eve seem to make memories wherever we go. We wrote all the college students notes on their whiteboards-we were super bored..and we laughed so much. I laughed till I cried and every bone in my body hurt…
“Yah, because she can’t sleep with them” LOL…
How about Clifton? and grave yards..yeah nice trick guys:)
non-understandable gargle is the best form of communcation too..grshchgrshch:):) But you must be upside down to get the full effect..
And you can’t forget those weird aliens that brainwashed our prince
Sting like a butterfly, Float like a bee
“Have you ever seen the stars shining so bright..”
” I’m so glad God made you for me, tight as lock and key”
oh man, I could go on and on…Eve I will never forget this trip.
I am so glad you are my friend!!!

If I had a Million Dollars-English Extra Credi
If I had a million dollars, I’m not sure what I would do. I think I would be in so much shock, it would be hard to think straight. First of all, I would buy our school a really nice tour bus, because I hate riding in hot, noisy buses. I would remember all those long trips to Wilds, and all the wind-blown, sweaty hair. I would also save a bunch so if and when I get married, I could adopt lots of kids from foreign countries-like Micah’s little bro Josiah. I think I would also save it, so when I got out of college I wouldn’t be in big debt, and could buy a decent house, and eventually start a clinic for poor people. Like Patch Adams:) I would also buy a nice car..not a super expensive one, but something better then mine. Man, that would be so cool to have a million dollars..but money isn’t happiness. And I must learn to be content where I am, although I can dream big!

Long Weekends
I love long weekends!! I actually get to sleep in on a weekday, not to mention catch up on some much needed stuff. Like cleaning my room, it’s a mess.

And I turned in my micro paper today..yay! But anyways, Hope you all have a great LONG weekend..and I’ll see ya all on Tuesday!

The Power of Prayer
In Sunday school this morning, one of my friends’ older brother came and gave a testimony to us. And it really hit me, He was one of those headed-down-the-wrong path teens, and decided to join the Marines. Little did He know the path his life would take. Last January he was sent over to Iraq. From then until September, he was over there fighting for our freedom. And He came home safely and with an new outlook on life. It was awesome to see how our prayers paid off.
and on a little lighter note…

SURVIVOR
Yep, it’s Thursday again. The Drake tribe came out on top again. Winning pillows and blankets, and sending the Morgan tribe back to tribal council where Lil was voted out. It was a sad time for the Morgan tribe, but since I’m rooting for Drake it was a good night! I just hope they don’t rearrange the tribes, although you know that’s whats coming.

Uh..I can’t think of a title
I am sitting here in study hall and thought I’d add a little to my blog. Packers won last night against the bears!! YAY PACKERS!! (I’m a cheesehead:)) And my dad was home to watch the game with me, although we both went to bed at halftime.
Sometimes I wonder why our friends come and go, some days you are best friends with a person and the next, they seem to have forgotten you. Or how you can go from talking to someone every day about everything, to all of a sudden never speaking a word, not even a hi? I mean friends are supposed to be forever aren’t they? But funny thing is, most of the time you go back to talking and forget about the past, it’s not one of those you hold against people. We’re all busy, so it’s just one of those things that happens. But I wish it didn’t!
So, today if you see someone you haven’t talked to in awhile, say hi and even ask them how their doing? You never know, it could be the highlight of their day!
