Guys and Girlfriends
Guys and Girlfriends..
If there is one thing in this world that doesn’t mix it’s guys and girlfriends. I have been on both ends of this..and I can tell you, no matter how many promises you make, they don’t mix. “I’d never choose a guy over you they say” and I have in fact said this myself. But once you start to like a guy and find the feeling is mutual, things are never the same. Oh, they may think it is..but the only thing they talk about is this guy. And instead of wanting to hang out with you on their open Friday nights, they want to hang out with that guy. And the worst part, is they think they are treating you the same. They still think things are peachy. And as much as I love hearing about my friend’s love lives, it gets old really quick. And please, don’t think I’m jealous..because I am not in the least. I could tell my own saga of guys to them, but I have chosen to focus on my savior.
I have given into the battle and I admit defeat. I know I am probably giving up to easily..but I’m not fighting for my friends’ attention. Too much is at stake. I’ll still be here if and when that guy breaks their heart..but sometimes actions are irreversible. I learned that lesson the hard way..and I still am working at rebuilding friendships I ruined all for a guy who could care less. but I know, they all think they have found the one. They think this is the key to their happiness. But let me tell you..it isn’t. And I wish you could see that. But like the defeated foe goes home from battle, shoulders drooping, eyes full of pain and anger-I too am walking away.

Well, for the first time on break..I can say I’m bored. I could probably be doing something..but it’s too early to start on my to-do list for this break. So I thought I would write in my blog. I just have to think of something to write about. You know one thing I love about Christmas..we always get letters from our friends that we don’t talk to throughout the year. I love reading them and hearing about their lives. The people we used to see almost daily, now are only a thought at Christmas time. I think one of my favorite letters we got was from the pastors of our old church. Although we never hear from them throughout the year, they are ever-faithful in sending us a card and letter at the holidays. And they are very good at keeping us updated with things happening at our old church as well as sending pictures. It’s so neat to see how much people grow and change. However, I miss them..which is the one down side to Christmas. no wait, there is no down side to Christmas..that’s just the one part that could have some disadvantages. anyways, hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! Enjoy the time with your family and friends!!
I’ll write occasionally when I feel led.:)

Life is Good
Life is good..
You ever just sit back and think about how good life is? How sweet the mercy of God is? How awesome and amazing His love it? Tonight I served at the Christmas dinner for the staff at school and church, and I had a blast! I was reminded that the best things in life are the things we do to glorify and please God. No matter what it is.. I also realized that many ways God has chosen to bless me, and the many amazing people He has placed in my life. Exams are over..Christmas break is almost here. But as Mr. Grass reminded us today..it’s not about us and our time. That’s selfish and trust me..that will never make you happy! God is so good, and has lavishly bestowed blessings upon us! I am so thankful for Him and for my relationship with Him. I can’t tell you how many times I have messed up or how many times I will..but I do know that no matter what, He will forgive me. And like someone recently told me..God is interested in steps, not results! How awesome and full of hope that is..He doesn’t care if we ever fully arrive, because He knows we won’t..He just wants us to take steps. So needless to say, Life is great!

Friends
Friends..
This week is exam week, and that means half days or 1/4 of days! Today I finished school at 9:20..and Eve came home with me for a bit. We are crazy silly together..and so that was fun! A smoothie and some jibberish later we went back to school to get Brittany and Taylor. We went to Culver’s to eat..fun times again! We came back to the school again..something your not supposed to do!:) Kelly, Eve and I headed off to the mall..broke. But we had so much fun..it was good to be able to just have fun and not worry about the rest of life. We tried on prom dresses..and I have officially decided they do not fit me:) Heavens’ knows what I’ll do when jr./sr. rolls around! LOL
I saw my old neighbor, which was cool. And I should be studying..I promise, after tomorrow I’ll write something that doesn’t end with, I should be studying:) Good luck on the rest of your finals!!
I’m out..

Odds and Ends
Odds and Ends
Today was the first day of finals, and my birthday! All my hard ones are over..yay!! Not much else..
Last night was the survivor finale..Sandra won. Not the person whom I wanted, but still she deserved it more than the other person. Jon was finally voted off…I can’t believe how far he made it. Just shows the sinfulness of our culture..and the acceptance of wrong as right. I wish D had won..she was my favorite person on the show! But hey, she got super far and will probably still get some modeling jobs out of the deal! I am a die hard survivor fan!! So now, my Thursdays are going to be lonely..but there is another season coming sometime!! Who will the new contestants be? What will they be like? Ah..the questions! But I will leave you all..since I’m probably the only person who actually cares:)

My Birthday!
My Birthday!
Guess what?! Tomorrow is my 17th birthday! (12/15) I can’t wait..but as a wonderful gift, I have my three hardest finals. I’m telling you..never be born during exam week, it’s no fun! Instead of dreaming about my birthday, I’m going to be thinking about muscles and spanish. And guess what I get to do on my birthday..study and take finals! yay!! talk about a fun way to spend my special day! But hey, it isn’t all bad! I only have to go to school for 1/2 a day! And my mom is taking me out to lunch. Oh and my brother got me a steering wheel cover:) anyways, I need to go keep studying, survivor finale is on tonight!! Update you on that later!! Have a great week and good luck on all your finals!

What I am going to give of myself this Christmas(english)?
I just had a nice long post typed out, but I had put it on my other blog..oops, and lost it when I was trying to switch back. Anyways, I am going to give of my time and I am going to give it to God and my family. I am going to work at spending a considerable amount of time with God each day. These past few weeks have been busy and my devotions have been shorted, but I am going to work hard to having some meaningful time with God over break. I am also going to work at serving my family. I am going to work at doing things to help out my mom and hanging around with them. I love to hang around them and am going to work at showing them that. I am going to do some chores and clean my room and bathroom of all the clutter that is driving my parents insane..well, not in a literal sense of course. My grandparents are coming and I am going to give of my time and spend time with them. A lot of times when they come I go hang out with my friends or work, but i am going to try to spend time with them. I can’t wait for this Christmas. and I’m going to work at giving and focusing on others not me.

Kelly
Kelly
Kelly is so “mint”
She’s a basketball player-I think she’s good
I’m so glad she’s my friend
I stink at writing poems
They are not my forte
Back to Kelly, She is a very funny girl
We had lots of fun playing games on the bus
She can’t keep a secret though..well, not a silly one
I’m sure she’s good at keeping serious ones though..
Don’t tell her what your getting anyone for Christmas:)
She has really pretty hair
Not that you care..but really she does
Part of the dinks, they are super cool
She makes me laugh all the time
Well, now this poem must end..
Even though this poem stinks..Kelly doesn’t!!
I love you Kelly:)
