Home Rules

Always be honest. 
Count your blessings.
Bear each other's burdens.
Forgive and forget.
Be kind and tender hearted.
Comfort one another.
Keep your promises.
Be supportive of one another.
Be true to each other.
Look after each other.
Treat each other like you would like to be treated.
But most important... Love one another deeply from the heart.

What would our world be like if every home lived by these rules?

Thanksgiving Eve

Oh, the smells are here. Tonight my dad made four pies. Two homemade apple pies, and two homemade pumpkin pies. I can't wait to eat them tomorrow.

I am so thankful. Even more this year then I was last year. I'm thankful for my beautiful family. I'm thankful I have clothes to wear. I'm thankful for school, and that I have the PRIVILEGE to go every day and learn. I'm thankful for the crazies I call my friends. I'm thankful I'm American, and I live in this beautiful country. Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone.

Christmas

I've been dreaming of a white Christmas.. Just like the one's I used to know.

*sigh*


Will it ever snow?


I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about this no snow business. I don't know what to do with myself!

11/11/11

Breath in. Breath out. Breath in. Breath out.

Happy Friday everyone! I'm going to spend this lovely chilly evening cleaning and hanging out with children.

~Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you.~ - Joshua 1:9


How true that has been lately in my life.

P.S. Remember to make a wish tonight at 11:11. :)

Breathing

Wow I feel like I forgot what it was like to breath. I've seriously never been that busy in my whole life. But at the end of the musical performance I was so proud of myself of everything I accomplished! Also on a side note, I applied for my very first job at the hospital working in food service. I'm hoping to get it, and start working soon. On another side note, I have to babysit all weekend. Total bummer! Oh well, at least I'll have something to do. Anyways I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather.. Not!

Life

It's crazy how my last post was all about how fun this high school stuff is. This post is not going to be pretty.

Life is SO draining right now. I feel like I have no energy to do anything. And the things I love so dearly are slowly and surely sinking to the back burning... My life as I know it. is slipping out of my hands, and I feel as though it is uncontrollable. Before I felt so much happiness, and each day as I woke up I had this new joy. It's so frustrating not to have that anymore. And I'm sick of it. I feel like I just need to be done with everything. It's not just life in general either, but it's everything I'm committed to. Like, the musical, and taking harder classes, and the worship team for youth group (and the one for children's Church too), and I feel as though no matter how much time I spend with my friends all my friendships are failing.

I'm so tired...

I don't know what to do anymore.
