Friends

      Did you enjoy my awkward story last time? As Rhett and Link would say, "Don't let your awkward moments haunt you, celebrate them." 

      Last night some friends and I got together at my house and celebrated fall. We had a LOT of fun. 


      I'm so thankful for the friend that God gave me. I literally cannot express to you how much they mean to me. Good friends like what I have are a HUGE blessing and I recognize that it is God who orchestrates friendships and putting people in my life.

      How am I even supposed to express my love for the people in my life? I have the most amazing church family. A time that really stands out to me about how amazing they are is the day my cousin died. 

     I was broken. Crushed. Mason died on a Sunday morning and we received the news about 8:00 a.m. So I was really upset when I went to church. As I walked up to the church I took a deep breath, wiped my eyes, and tried not to cry. I hardly walked a couple of feet in the building when I was enveloped in hugs. Of course I lost it and just sobbed. 

      I still remember the tears in my friends' eyes, how they spent time just sitting and crying with me. That was over a year ago, but the memory, to this day, gives me chills and makes so thankful.

      These are people who have been changed by the love of Christ. 

      And of course, Jesus is the best of friends. To Him be all the glory!!!!!! If only the world knew the love of Christ. The world, if it and all of its entirety could see this post, oh who knows what they'd say! They'd say I was messed up or in some countries they would want me dead. Oh but if only they knew what the real love of Christ was!

Deep, Dark Secrets?

     I told my mom that most of my blog contains posts that say "I haven't posted in a while" or "I'm obsessed with music" or "I'm tired" .      She responded by asking me what I would like to read if I was reading the blog of another girl my age. Well of course I would want to read all of her juiciest, deepest, darkest secrets. (I just love deep, dark secrets. Mwahahahahahahaha).      That's what I'd like to read and I'm sure you all would too. But no, I'm not putting out all of my secrets on the world wide web. And besides, most of my readers are probably people I know so that's awkward. And my mom previews all my posts before I post them so again, even more awkward.     Oh yes, something funny to talk about. Awkward. If you were to ask one of my close friends what my favorite word (or the word I say the most) they would, beyond a shadow of a doubt, say awkward. When I'm with my friends, I say awkward a lot. I

It's me again

     No, I haven't disappeared forever. I know, I know, you're all thinking, "What happened to her blog? That was short lived." Yeah it kinda was. But hey, I'm back.      What have I been up to these past months and months since I've been inactive? Oh where do I start.      Well, I started 8th grade. But that was a couple months ago. Actually today I started Algebra 1. Gulp. I've been really busy with school and I don't have as much time as I used to.       Backing up to a couple of months ago in July, my family and I vacationed in another state. It was breathtaking and beautiful. No literally, it was breathtaking. On that trip I got so sick you guys, I cannot  even relay to you the depth of my illness. It was the worst I've been sick all year.       On the evening of the first day of our trip I had a headache.      The next morning I felt ok at first but as the morning progressed I felt kinda stomach sick. We had another six hours or so
