One more day!!!!

Happy Easter a day early! I am so excited about getting my iPod back! I realize that sounds bad. I am looking forward to celebrating Jesus too, but I am really anxious to get Phillip back. That's what i named it by the way. and it's pronounced the French-sounding way. Plain old Phillip just isn't as cool. Not that it isn't cool at all or anything... I'm going to stop digging while I'm ahead. Anywho, I am soooooo happy it's warm!! or at least it is in Cincy. I actually only slept with two covers on last night. and i was in shorts! it was amazing. I did, however, find out that i have two pairs of shorts that fit me. i guess it's time to go thrift store shopping!
Bye!

Lent

I've decided, Lent sucks. Now for all you non-Christians/Christians who have no idea what I'm talking about, Lent is the forty days before lent that we "Frozen Chosen" (Aka, Presbyterians) symbolize as the time when Jesus fasted for forty days in the desert. It is typical, during Lent, to give up something. For example, chocolate, (although I'm not sure what possesses people to do that. I think I would die) food one day a week, Facebook, etc. This is the first year I've attempted to give up something and let me just tell you, it sucks. See, sometime after Christmas, I went to Best Buy and bought myself a new iTouch. In the time I've had it, it has pretty much been permanently attached to my hand. Sooo... that's what I have up. Now, don't get the impression that I gave up music. I think I would die. Especially if I gave up chocolate and music! that would be catastrophic. Anywho, no I did not give up music, I still listen to my old Mp3, but I gave up all the apps. In some ways, it's been kind of nice being unplugged, but still. I can't just look up something as I think of it. The good thing is, I only have 17 days left! Easter morning the first thing I do when I get up will probably be to play sheep throw. haha. Oh, by the way, Happy St. Patrick's Day! I almost forgot. Top O' the mornin' to ya! ;)

Woops

Hey peeps. sorry i haven't posted in a while. I'm here in Kentucky visiting my sister at college. i have to say, college life is pretty cool. i've visited for the past what... three years? i'm sad though because my sister's a senior this year, so i wont be able to visit anymore. :( oh well. i'll enjoy it while it lasts. haha. my sister just walked in the room and goes. "Mmm i smell good, smell me" haha. well..... i really don't have that much to say. why did i even start a blog? i have nothing to say! well... ok that's a lie. i have plenty to say, i just really can't think of anything right now... MUSIC MAN! i loooooooove the music man. i hear they came out with one that has Kristin Chenoweth in it? i want to see it. our tape broke. :( i wish i could find a DVD of it somewhere. someday.. "when i'm awfully low, bla bla bla bla... i dont know the words..." anyway, that was supposed to be "The Way You Look Tonight." except i don't know the words. i should work on that. ok. i'm going to stop blabbing now. goodbye. have a good saturday. (or sunday if your in China. or would it be Friday?...)

Teenaged anxt or what ever the heck you call it

You know that feeling when you have a crush on someone who's completely out of your league? Someone deep and funny, but uninterested or just completely oblivious? (as all guys are ;)) I know that feeling all too well. I have a huge crush on someone completely wonderful, but does he notice? Nope. Of course not. And it's not like I'm going to tell him. I don't even know him that well to be honest. But he's great you know? Even if he isn't interested in me (which I can pretty much guarantee he's not) I would love to just hang out and get to know him. And seriously, it's not as if I'm in desperate need of a boyfriend or anything. I want one, I'm not going to lie, but still. I'm only fourteen. Anyway, thenks for listening to my insaneness once again. Peace.

The beauties of life should never be taken for granted

I am in a really good mood today. Reasons:
-my sister is home and we are just hanging out, which is reallynice.
-I have movie night tonight :)
-I get to see my besties who ihavent seen since before Christmas
-My brother is sortof home and has taken to torturing me :)
-There is at least two inches, if not more, of snow onthe ground
-Its a new year filled with all sorts ofnew possibilities
-...andbasically everything good in the world right now

Thoughts of the heart and mind

I'd like to say I know exactly what I am supposed to do. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. A lot of people probably thinkthat since I'm only fourteen I haven't had time to mess up my life. That is about as far from the truth as it could get. Sometimes I wonder if I'll pick the right path. I worried that I won't do what God intended for me. Pocahontas was more sure of her path then I will ever be. I like knowing what is going on. I hate not knowing, or not understanding. But I read a verse a while ago that has become my motto. It says "We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall." (Proverbs 16:33) I like that analogy. It tells us that no matter how much we screw up, no matter how we defy Him, His purpose will always be played out through out lives.
