Psalm 139:9-10

"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."

Think about that for a second. No matter where you go, God is there to help you and love you. How GREAT is our God?!

Just thought I'd share that with you :) I'm going to try and do that more often now, wish me luck! :D

Wow, long time no see!

...Seriously!! I haven't posted in a while, sorry :(

Anyway, school has started for most everyone, and I hope it's going well! Just remember, the rest of the year is just as important as the first couple weeks, so keep up the great work :)

Oh! I found a new blog that I love!! Project Inspired is a blog-type website for girls on natural beauty, relationships, and just being a girl! It's awesome and I encourage you to check it out!!

Also, I've been really struck by this, so I want to share. I think I have before, but that's okay... Count your blessings!! Whether you realize it or not, you are incredibly blessed! Think about it for a second. As Americans, we get full access to clean water, clean facilities, good food, good education, and options in just about everything. Let me put it this way: you probably have a cell phone. Well, people in some parts of Africa may never have even heard of a cell phone, much less dream of having one! You're blessed! Just don't take advantage of it... God has blessed you for a reason, it's just your job to find that reason and live it out for HIM!!

One last thing... get a mentor. Or a youth group leader you've gotten to know. Or someone not related to you that's older than you to look up to and ask for advice. I am lucky enough to have a few mentors, but right now my youth leader Landi is really helping me through some weird, awkward, teenage moods and it just brings so much relief to know someone's praying for me and stuff. Yesterday morning, she texted me a verse that really helped me get through my day with a lot less stress. Just a tip, but I think it's a necessity. But that's just me. :)

That's all for now... Hopefully I'll post sooner next time? Haha but seriously bye.

Happy Last Day of Summer!

. . . well, if you live in my area, it is. I hope everyone's summer was fun, relaxing, and will leave you with lots of memories!!

Now time to switch gears . . . School means no sleeping in or staying up late, no spaghetti straps or short shorts, no swimming all day or partying all night, and most of all, lots and LOTS of homework.

Hope your school year goes well! :)

  • Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's
  • A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

Okay, so some of these are weird songs - U Can't Touch This, Ice Ice Baby - buuuuut they're for workout songs. Hehe. Speaking of which, the name of my playlist for workout songs is "Muscle Making Music" - pretty clever, right?

On the subject of playlist titles, I try to get creative ones! My iPod is named the Jabbewocky because it's awesome and mean too. So, my main playlist is called "Jabberwocky's Tunes". Some of my other playlists are called "Other...?" for random music, and "Praisee." for all my Christian music. I want to know what some of your creative playlist titles are! :)

That's all for now! :)

Winnie the Pooh!

I know I already posted today, but I just found this and it's ADORABLE!! You have GOT to take this!!

http://www.facebook.com/WinniethePoohTigger?sk=app_224295200929819

It's a personality quiz that tells you which character from Winnie the Pooh you are. It's cute and takes 20 seconds! Comment and tell me who you are! ;)

I got Tigger!! He's always been my favorite  See??  

This is me and my sisters when we were little. I was Tigger, and the other two were Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. What's funny is those are still our favorite characters today!







Enjoy!

Laziness, Sckool, & Summer Music poll

Well hi there! I bet you're wondering where I went! Do you really want to know? Yes? Well I'll tell you... I went.... Drumroll please... NOWHERE!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!! Haha, just kidding. I don't expect you to be excited. However, I am, because going nowhere means I have had a more or less lazy summer! Which never happens to me, thus I'm excited.

How many of you are going back to school soon? I am! I'm so excited! I'm not going to be a freshie anymore!! Yay! I personally love going back to school. It's fun to see who did what over the summer, who changed, who got fake or real tans, and of course, getting your schedule and comparing it with your friends and seeing what classes you have together. And then there's all the back to school shopping - notebooks, pens, backpacks, and of course the fun part - clothes! Anyway, a lot of people don't like it, but I do. (Of course, once the year gets going... not so much. Haha.)
Speaking of school... I saw a really funny event on Facebook the other day... "First Day of Sckool!" And the only thing I could think of was, "Wow. If you spell school like that, maybe you DO need go back to school." Just a random thought that made me laugh.

And today I'm kind of bored, so I'm going to create a random poll! So here it is:
What is your favorite song/artist to listen to during the summer, whether you're chilling, visiting someone, playing sports, or going to an amusement park? Comment and let me know!!

Have a great remainder of the summer! :)
