To Have Faith

     Last year sometime, our Church had a special sermon on spiritual gifts. 1 Corinthians 12 talks about them. Everyone has a gift. Sometimes people have more that others, but everyone has one. I have three main ones, my first one, is faith.


     I've always had a strong faith. I always know that whatever happens, happens for a reason, and that in the end it will all work out for the glory of God. I have always known, that God would show me what I was supposed to do with my life. I  known that one day, I will work for him...  somehow.


     I just always have a feeling that it will be okay, and God would make it right. GOD is in control, and no matter what you think is gonna happen, it can turn out differently.


     It's so hard for me to be around people who are pessimistic. I am so one of those glass half full, always look on the bright side, smile all the time, kinda people. So if something is starting to look up, someone is turning over a new leaf, and you act like nothing is different, and you refuse to give that person a chance because you're convinced on what you think? 


You're wrong.


     I couldn't care less on what you thought. How do you know the plans God has?  Oh yeah, you don't. Just because someone doesn't take to the gospel as quick as you did, or they've burned all your bridges, doesn't mean you should  give up on them. Have some FAITH. You don't have to shun everyone you think can't be changed. You never know whats working in their hearts. As Christians we always need to look on the bright side. And we have to reach as many people as we can, because one day, we'll be out of time. The world needs us, and we can't waste time thinking. We need to be doing.

Stop Kony 2012

     So I know I haven't posted in a very long time, I probably don't even have any readers anymore! I haven't posted, much less THOUGHT about my blog in months. But when I watched a video this morning, the first thing I thought about was posting about it on my blog.


     I am so passionate about things like this. People who are filled with love for other people, and who strive to help them, just give me a since of appreciation and support. I know that this isn't a project focused around Christ, but it is a project focused around helping, supporting, and saving lives. 

  I'm going to do my part to make Joseph Kony famous.  You NEED to watch this whole video, from start to finish. We only have until the end of 2012, and if we all work together, we can make that deadline.

Yeah, That Happened to Me

     Who remembers Rescue Hero's? I remember Rescue Hero's. Our neighbour down the street got Tyler interested in them. When I found out they had girl Rescue Hero's, I liked them to. In fact, I can remember exactly where I got my first one, which store, what time of day, who I was with, which one I got, and.. what happened before I even bought it.


     The whole family went out to Wal-Mart. It was the one on Two-Notch Road, a few miles down from our house in Elgin. It was after dinner time, and it was already getting dark. (See, I said I remember EVERYTHING(: ) Me and Tyler had just picked out our Rescue Hero-- I got Wendy. We still had to pick up a few food items, and me and Tyler decided to just walk around the whole store holding our toys.

     When we got to the frozen food section, my stomach started to feel bad. I told mom that I didn't feel good and she told me that we would be going home soon.

     When we got to the bread section, I told Mom that I was going to throw up in ONE minute. She looked at me and said, "Alright, just wait a few more minutes and I'll take you to the bathroom."

     Approximately, thirty seconds later-- when we got to the fresh produce section, I threw up, ALL over the floor.

     One of the ladies there had to clean it up. Before she cleaned it up, she put this white powdery stuff on it. Dad tried to help her a bit, but she appeared to have it under control. I guess alot a people clean up puke in Wal-Mart.
    
     So we left, and I didn't get in trouble. Besides, I told Mom  would throw up in ONE minute, and she obviously didn't appreciate my timing skills. (:

     If anyone cares, after I threw up, I felt much better, and continued to play with my Rescue Hero when we got home. I think this story was more embarrassing for my parents, however, This Happened to Me (:

My Disapointment.

     I have to say, I was really sad when we got crushed on Saturday. The Pokes beat us for the first time in 8 years. It was a well deserved win. With the Sooners playin like they were!..good grief. There really is no hope for them. They better bring the A game next year. Now people are looking to see whos gonna have National. Personally I hope Alabama. I have new reasons to like them. I watched the Alabama-Auburn game when I was in Illinois, (We crushed them by the way), The Coach was so humbled and down-to-earth. he wasn't cocky that his team was part of the big three or anything! He even said it would be a privilege to go against LSU again, who HE said was probably to best team in the Country. Wow. That is like SO the opposite behavior I would expect coming from a coach who just won, and a coach who knows he has a great team. I think they should win, just for that. Defiantly gonna be interesting to see how this will all turn out. (:

     I bought Smallville season 10!! WHOOP WHOOP! So excited, I haven't finished it all yet, but I will after school today. I watch a pretty good amount of episodes when they aired, but I missed even more. I saw the finale, so I know how it all truns out, it's just some of the stuff in between that have to fill in the blanks, haha (:

     It's supposed to snow today, but as I look outside, all I see is wind and sun. It is very cold however.

     We finally got out Christmas tree up. It's beautiful!! We went Blue and Silver this year ( My favorite! ). Normally I would have the Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving, but this year Mom put it up. We got a new tree and everything. I was glad she did it too, because I had already put up 3 other Christmas trees this weekend, and I was a little Christmas-treed out. Lol(:

Yeah, That Happened to Me

    Every year my family has a tradition of going to a Christmas parade. Before we moved to Oklahoma, we went to the Blythwood parade they had every year. It was the best small-town parade ever. It was never boring, had cool floats and they threw out prizes.

     They threw out candy, people would give out soda cans, Christmas cards, invitations to Churches, one year the Girl Scouts gave out presents. This particular year, one float had a tshirt shoot.

     We were at the same place we always were every year, out by the intersection of a grocery store. There was this family next to us who were the most enoying people EVER! Dad didn't let us bring bags to put our candy  in. If we got some we just put it in our pocket. these people had Wal-mart bags for their candy. I remember one guy who was going around giving kids candy, and he said, "You guys know how it works!" Like they had come more times then we had. WRONG! We just weren't as greedy as them. Ha.

     Anyhow, this family had 3 girls,  with their Mom and Dad and one other man there. This float was going by, and they had a tshirt shoot. They shot it in my direction, so I went for it. The MOM of the family, practicly knocked me over, snatched it from me, and walked away. Talk about greedy. She STOLE if from me. She did not hand out Christmas cheer. She Didn't GIVE she GOT. I think I can figure out where she kids learned to be greedy. Oh boy.


     Yeah, this happened to me, and I was NOT happy. Lol(:

Hmm..

     Last night I had a very strange dream. ALL of my dreams are strange. They always include some sort of complicated plot, that makes perfect since to me. In the dream that is. I actually don't have just one dream and then it's done. Usually, all my dreams are connected some how. Like the same house will be used for different things. Or someone I met will make a second appearance. Sometimes, I refer to a comment I made in another dream, or the 'rules' are the same, and apply to the later dream.

     Sometimes I wish that dreams are actually something that you're struggling in real life and then all you have to do, is go to a therapist, they tell you what it means and then life becomes so much better. Wouldn't that be nice? I think it would.

     The truth of the matter is I love dreams. Sometimes they are so cool and I wish they could be in real life. Don't judge me people, you're just jealous I have a bigger imagination than you(;
But, there are those dreams that scare me out of my wits. The ones where I wake up sweating and think it actually happened because it was so real. Those are scary. They make me wanna hide under the covers like a little kid bro!! Lol.

     Wouldn't it be cool if you got a dream from God? Like, Joseph, who got dreams about what would happen in the future? And then, when other people told him their dream he could tell you what they ment after he prayed about it to God? That would be the coolest.

I like dreams(:

Upward!

     Guess What?? I'm an Upward Coach! I teach Cheer with my Mom. Tuesday Night was our first practice, and I think it went really well considering how neither me, or my mom have ever taught anything like this, haha(: We had 7 little girls, out of which 4 are related to me, and the 5th one is from our church, so I really only had to meet 2 girls, and they are very sweet(: My little brother has basket ball in the gym, and he is on my Bestie's team! I think this is gonna be a good year.

      I can't wait for game days to start though. They are my favorite!!! I just love them so much, I love-- oh well, I just love everything about  it!! Haha(:
