Taken For Granted

I've realized how much I take people (like my friends) for granted. It's not until they're gone for just a mere two weeks that you realize how much they mean to you and how much time you spend with them. Starting next week, my life is going to be quite... uneventful. ;) Not that I won't enjoy my time with my other friends, but each one of my friends is special to me, and when one (or two, in this case) is (are) gone, my life is thrown off balance. Usually. Some of my friends live in my brain as well as their houses/my house, so it's like they're always with me. ;)

Friends... they're what keeps me going. I'm so glad God blessed me with such amazing friends that I know will always be there for me.

Rainy Week

It's been an amazing day (such beautiful weather), and I cannot believe I've hardly stepped foot outside yet! All week it's been colder (I thought we were past all that 40 degree weather), and on Monday I went to the varsity baseball game. The wind made the whole thing horrendously cold! My two friends and I were covered in 4 blankets, laying on the ground, trying to watch the game while still staying warm. :) We didn't end up winning, but it was fun to watch. Great game.

Anywho, the wonderful outdoors are calling. God is so amazing... he created ever single blade of grass that the sun is shining so brightly on right now... he created the sun, too! All this beauty; it's stunning.

It's amazing how the simplest things can make or break my day...

Sorry, I haven't blogged in a while. I will a.s.a.p. though! :)

When Hope Is Lost

A poem... by me. :)

The world came crashing down for you that day,

Simplicity fell,

With sorrow it's replaced.

But I'm here for you,

When hope is lost,

When life turns its back on you.
I'll be here,

With open ears

Ready to hear,

Just how life's been treating you.

Eh. Not my best work, not my worst. Inspired by an amazing friend of mine... whom I love dearly. I love all of my friends dearly... ;) This has just not been my week. I've been feeling like I could break down every single day. But God's carrying me along. He's getting me through tomorrow into the days of complete peace and joy. It's a journey, let me tell you, getting to those days. But I'm working. I'm trying hard to get there. I'm so glad I don't have to do it on my own... I couldn't do it on my own. Without God... I'd already have given up. I wouldn't be anywhere near peace and joy. But I've got God.

God is good, all the time.

All the time, God is good.

Life, on the other hand, isn't quite so wonderful.

Welcome To A Good Friend

I've finally helped in causing the wall to break... Byzz started blogging, too! We're probably the only ones who will read each others' blogs, but whatever. It's all good. But anyways, happy blogging to her (wow, I sound like a MAJOR nerd)!


Now, I have other things to be doing... *cough* video editing *cough cough*

HOLD UP! WAIT A MINUTE! PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN IT!
That's Love Addict by Family Force 5, if you didn't know. ;)

So I've decided to try this mobile blogging right now... Just until I get home. Then I'll probably just edit this or delete it. :)

Psalm 46. Great Psalm. Verse 11 says ''Be still and know that I am God...'' That really got me thinking. Be still. Pray with no distractions, no wondering thoughts. Just me and God, me spilling my guts even though he already knows every single little thing thats bothering me and every miniscule thing going on in my life. When have I done that recently? I mean, I spend hours upon hours upon end on the computer or texting, but then when it comes to talking to God and listening to him, I give him 5 minutes at most. Wow. That verse just really got me... Maybe some changes need to be made in me.

Hmm... can't say that I like the mobile blogging much, as I had to copy-and-paste so all the entries were one post. ;) Maybe I'll just use it for short updates on occation.

He Knows How To Make Me Smile

God is... indescribable. There's so many words to describe Him, but the English language is so huge that it'd be impossible to. Watching the sun slowly sink (the time before it teases of leaving and makes its escape), I smile to myself. God knows every thought, every desire of my heart. It's astounding how even though I can't see Him, I have plenty of 'inside jokes' with Him. When I really pray to Him, on even the worst of days, He'll do something that only He could know would make me smile, and I'll remember, "Right, You're God. You know everything I'm feeling right now, and You care. You remember these things about me." God... He's so amazing.

Just one of those moments. ;)

Now Blogging

I'm finally getting serious about blogging... go me! My Stardoll.com, Google.com, and Facebook.com crazes have come to somewhat of a close, and now I'm crazed over Blogspot.com. I've always thought blogging was pretty amazing... I can never think of what to write though, so I've never seriously gotten into it. Recently, I've been trying plenty of new things, and so consistently blogging is adding to that. We'll see if I can do it. Be warned, I tend to ramble about extremely random topics... but it makes sense in my brain. ;)

I'm so excited for the weekend! After a long week of testing, it's nice to have meeting with my English group to work on our project and indoor soccer games to look forward to. But it also means looking forward to a WHOLE lot of editing for the English video... which is due Monday. Homework. Oh joy. The only enjoyable part of homework is doing things I love... such as certain math problems, video editing, and memorizing lines for drama. But then again, I tend to be somewhat nerdy.

It's almost in the 70's! My GoogleDesktop has said it's one degree over the predicted high for the past two days! Such amazing weather, and thankfully a good day today to go along with it. I'm so thankful that I've had my astounding friends to keep me going earlier this week... don't know what I'd do without them. :)
