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.
