Have you ever wondered why things happen? I know you probably have, but things happen and you just wonder “What the heck is this happening for?” You feel like what you’ve been working on/for is all coming to end… And for what? Are you not doing what God asks of you? Are you doing exactly what He tells you and He just wants you to move forward without telling why. You just got to figure out what’s next. But what if you go the wrong way? Then what? Are you doomed and have to wait a year or two until you finally figure out what you are supposed to do then God decides to change where you go and what you do… Life’s a mystery that will never be solved, that’s what makes it LIFE! I’m glad that I have God to make it even more mysterious!
You never know where He wants you! You have to figure it out and enjoy the Ride!

Oh boy… My life has become something I never thought I would see, at least not any time soon anyway. It is filled with work, money, lab hours, and just growing up. I have realized that growing up means maturing. I knew that but I didn’t think it would happen so soon. I was always the care free child, no worries like Timon and Pumba on lion king. I don’t know, it is almost like a shock. I am ok with the work and stuff but the maturing is harder than I thought. I want the respect of an adult but I am not giving it so how do I expect to get it. It’s my time to grow up and I just have to do it now before its to late and I end up childish forever. Maybe not forever, but you understand… It is time to mature!

Why is it that when you get to know someone they either move away or they do not turn out to what they pretending to be. I would rather the person move away than think you are getting to know someone when you really aren’t because they are pretending to be something they are not.
How can a person do that in the first place? I understand people want to be liked but if you are acting like someone you are not than you have an identity crisis because you are not being who you want to be because you think it is not good enough but it is! Why pretend to be something you are not when you can be someone better… yourself! Why would you want to be anyone but yourself? It is the gif that God has given you, why throw it out? That is one reason why i could never go into acting because the characters that i would play would be me! i can’t be someone i am not. This is me and i am not going to change for anyone! i don’t care how much they ask i have decided that i am me and everyone is just going to have to deal with me. if you have a problem tell me but i am not going to change unless it is something spiritual and God shows me but that is a different story!
oh… back to my Why… I start making a good friend they have to move away so my friendship is long distance so it is hard now, and the person i thought i could trust left me out in the rain with all the other laundry. But you know what, if that is how it is going to be than your friendship is not worth anything because if you have to change yourself to be my friend and then dump me then you really don’t want to be my friend. That is fine with me because i do not want to be friends with a fake! Sorry but it is the truth!
Ok, so i know i can be kind of ridiculous sometimes with my blog but i am a writer(at heart) i am sorry if i scared anyone.

The Perfect way to live your life is to not live it at all…

I know I haven’t posted anything but I have something 2 say!!!
Don’t take on life our own way or else it will come back and bit us in the butt. I know that sounds so dumb but it is as true as the eyes on your face and the hair on your head… unless you don’t have any hair on your head and for that i apologize.
Do not think because you are either older or younger that it is not true because it is true no matter what life you have lived. If you take your life into your hands you will end up grasping it to tight and breaking it like an egg in your hand. If you say “YES AND AMEN” to everything God has planned for you, your life(for sure) will not be as you plan, but it will be 10X better than you would have ever imagined it would be!
I know the title might have scared you but if YOU don’t live it than HE will!!

On my trip to Washington DC, I was thinking about what I should blog about. Then on the first day, we went in front of the Supreme Court. I looked and saw a few people standing in front of the Supreme Court with red tape that said “LIFE” covering their mouths. When I saw that, it was the best part of the trip because it shows that people are actually trying to make a difference. After a few minutes of us just standing there, we went up and stood in silence with them for about two minutes. I wish we could have stayed longer because I know that we were making a difference even though we were just standing there. We were speaking up without even saying a word. We were showing that Life is important even when it’s in the womb. I really felt the Presence of God come and stand there with us as we made a stand for Life. I know that His Presence went into that place because of us and the other people standing there.
While we were standing in silence I would look up and see how many people were going into the Supreme Court and how many of them were involved. The thing is, is when I looked up at them NONE of them were paying attention. We would get weird looks but thats about it. We would get no looks at all. But I knew that we did something, even though no one noticed, I know that at least one noticed and said something positive about what we were doing. It doesn’t even matter if no one noticed i just know that we made a difference even with those two minutes.
After we stood there in silence, we went and circled around a tree in front of the Supreme Court and said the prayer… “Jesus, I pled Your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America!” When we said the prayer some people actually turned and looked at what we were doing. Others just ignored us. But I know we did something amazing that day, and because of us there will be a change.
A lot of decisions are actuelly brought up in the Supreme Court. They are also made by the Supreme Court. So to know that we stood there is like knowing that this is going to stop. They made a rule that if you are going to stand there don’t stand on the steps. That didn’t stop us from taking a stand. I know I have said this a lot, but we made a difference that day. I just know it!
