What a Wonderful Feeling :)

You know that feeling that you get when Jesus is amazing (Even though it's ALWAYS but we don't always realize it)? Because I have that right now :)It feels like you can just go out and jump off of a giant building and KNOW FOR A FACT that you won't get hurt because Jesus will protect you :) Only Jesus can give you that feeling and I am so blessed to be experiencing it at all :)
I BE LOVIN JESUS :)

This says it all :)

Summer : My true love :)

Summer.


What is summer?


The dictionary says that summer is -
1.)The season between Spring and Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere
2.)The period comprising of the months June, July, and August
3.)A period of hot, usually sunny weather
4.)The hotter half of the year


To me, summer is taken in. It can't be defined, or described. It is simply absorbed by the senses.


Summer looks like the hot sun, beating down on the surface of a pool. Like an afternoon at the park eating ice-cream with your crush, like the colors of a beach ball.


Summer sounds like people laughing as they splash in a pool. Like a silenced alarm clock, like 1960s jazz.


Summer smells like chlorine and sunscreen. Like new plastic from the beach balls and pool toys, like freshly mowed grass.


Summer feels like cool water running through your fingers, and being burnt at the same time. Like ice cream sticking to your fingers, like holding hands with 'that person' :)


Summer tastes like fresh movie popcorn. Like cold crisp watermelon on a hot day on the beach, like a hot dog at a baseball game.


Whatever summer is: whether it's just "the hot time of the year" or everything that is wonderful, I can't wait to live it up :D

Finals....REALLY?!?!?

Let me be the probably last to say that I HATE FINALS. Let me clarify by telling you a little story :)
There's this guy named John. John has had great grades all through the school year. He's flying high and is COMPLETELY ready to have the school year be over, and already has plans for the first 3 weeks of summer. Then... he hears...that word

FINALS

But, being so pumped for summer to finally, FINALLY start, the idea of working REALLY hard to get a good grade for the year in all of his classes isn't that appealing. After all, he's been working hard all year to get straight 'A's, why should a test at the very end have complete say in his grades? So, John decides to wing it, and barely studies at all. 

The day of the first final comes and goes, and he isn't feeling too good about the first three tests that he's taken. He decides to stay up all night studying, even if he risks being tired the next day.

John, of course, falls asleep at 12:30 on the night before the last three finals. He wakes up feeling exhausted, and annoyed because he tried to cram. He ends up feeling worse about the exams then he did the previous day. 

But never the less, summer comes. John goes on with his plans, and forgets about the tests for the few weeks. But then....

But then his mom gets the mail. And in the mail, are the results of his tests. He got 1 'B', 2 'C's, and a 'D'. All of his grades are now 'B's and 'C's. His mom grounds him for the next 2 weeks.

This brings up the question - 

WHY FINALS?

Haven't we worked hard enough ALL YEAR trying to keep our grades up? Why do we have to waste our last weekend in school cramming and doing 100 question review packets? Why should an hour and a half in each class determine our grade for all of the work we've done for THE ENTIRE YEAR? Shouldn't teachers know that with summer being just around the corner, that no one's going to take the time to study? Well...just kidding I hope that everyone takes the time to study, but this system doesn't seem fair to me. 

But I guess that the system seems fair to someone if so many schools follow it....

Ok :) Rant over :) You can go back to whatever it is that you're doing now :)

Song writing

I have sort of mixed emotions about song writing. It's the kind of thing that I would love to do if I was any good at it. I have plenty of ideas, but if I were to ever write a truly whiz-bang amazing song, it would have to be not like any other song out there. It drives me insane when every new song out there is about falling in love, or falling out of love. There are so many ideas out there that so many people could write about, but we stick to "Hey I just met you, and this is crazy..." So with that floating around in my head, It would be rather difficult to write a really whiz-bang awesome song. Let me know if anyone has an idea for a song.... =) 

Allergies

I have decided that if I sneeze one more time this allergy season that I am going to sue allergies for everything that it has. Then, while it's distracted by being a bum, I am going to come up behind it and stab it 27 times. Then I am going to take it to my house and put it in the oven and bake it at 500 degrees until it is dark brown and crisp on the outside. Then, I will take allergies out of the oven and put it in the blender and blend it into a million pieces. Then, I'm going to take the remaining burnt pieces of allergy out of the blender, put it in a bag, go to New York, and throw it off of the top of the Empire State Building.


*SNEEZE*


Ok allergies....prepare to be sued....

Owl City :)

I have a semi-new found love for the band Owl City. If you don't know what this is, then get off of this blog right now. Just kidding, stay on here :) But really, you need to go look it up right this very minute because let me tell you, it is a-freakin-mazing :) Adam young (the lead singer and song writer) started off by himself but now has added a few other people. I can safely say that I have never heard any better lyrics than the ones he has written. Well, other than a few favorite hymns :) Go look up "Rainbow Veins" or "If My Heart Was A House" and prepare to be amazed :)And no, if you are judging Owl City only by knowing the song fireflies, then you need to look up these songs too. HE HAS DONE SO MUCH MORE. But to make the whole thing better, Adam Young is a Born-again believer in Christ Jesus the Lord! I know...just when you thought it couldn't get any better :) Happy listening!

Wow :D

75 PEOPLE?!?!? How did this happen? 75 people have already viewed this here blog. I wasn't expecting that to happen so quickly....after all, it's only been up for a day and a half! But thank you, you beloved people who have read this :) The fact that 75 people have been interested in what I have to say is CRAZY :) I think I might like this blog idea after all.... :)

This book...

I have been reading this book for the last 30 minutes or so...

It is truly amazing how much a book can speak to you. Or rather, how God can use a book to speak to you. I was overcome while reading this by a huge, deep longing for the Holy Spirit to be present in my life. A longing so intense, that it is almost maddening. It was put into proportion just how MASSIVE (an understatement) God is and just how minuscule (an overstatement) I am. And now here I am with a deep deep desire to see God, or the Holy Ghost, or an angel or SOMETHING, and feeling trapped inside myself because I know that I can do all things through  God who strengthens me, but I am unable to do anything without the Holy Ghost living inside of me. So all I can do for the moment is pray, and have faith that God will deliver me.

Christopher the Gold Fish

About 2 years ago this same time, I had a sudden desire for a gold fish. I'm not sure why, but I just felt the need for a goldfish. A goldfish, named Christopher. 


I begged my mom for one for about a month, and then finally, FINALLY, she said that if I got good enough grades, that she would let me get a goldfish. I was so happy! Not only did I get to get a goldfish, but one of my friends had a fish tank that I could have, because no goldfish of mine would be living in any plain old ordinary bowl!No, my fish would be living in style. But when the school year ended, and I pulled 3 'A's and 3 'B's, my mom thought that wasn't good enough to get a goldfish. So there I was, with a tank, and without a Christopher.


But the summer went on, and I survived. But when school started up again, I forgot about the fish fantasy for a while, and made it through the year without many thoughts surfacing about my shattered dream.


Then, for Christmas, my friend (the one with the tank)decided that she would provide not only the fish tank, but also the fish for my Christmas present. I was so thrilled, and when she came over that day I couldn't believe that I actually had me very own goldfish named Christopher! Me and Chris have been living happily in my room for about 4 months now, and we're as happy as ever =)

Vintage Tea Party

One of these days, I am going to have my own vintage tea party. I'm going to invite all of my friends with lacy invitations and and serve tea and cakes and it will be the bee's knees =)

Hmmm.....a new blog =)

The idea of having a blog came to me from a friend. A blog? You started a blog? Sounds like fun! I have always been partial to computer-ey design-ey type things, and this seemed to suit me just fine =) In this blog you will be finding things (hopefully) That you will think "OH MY GOODNESS I WAS THINKING THAT EXACT SAME THING!" When you read some of these posts, or perhaps "Hmm, I never thought of that before, but it makes sense!" But there also might be the occasional "That's really stupid, why does she think about stupid things like that?" I've always had an image in my mind of me becoming a nation-wide known blogger, so we'll see if that happens! In any case, this is my blog =) I guess we'll see how this goes....
