Negative Words...Gone

She needs me now, but I can't seem to find the time

Today was one of THE weirdest days of my life. It was like one of those days where you just sit in your room, everything gets accomplished, but you have absolutely no sense of fulfillment. And it's like there is this undeniable void that nobody can fulfill because everyone just seems unreachable. Do you know what I'm talking about!??!

Anyway...I find that praying just completely shatters everything I just discussed above. Literally.....worries, problems, selfishness, anxiousness, negative words....gone. Just like that *snap*. It is the most amazing concept ever and I will never ever question it's abillities to turn around my day. Praise God

oh well in 5 years time we could be walking round a zoo with the sun shinging down over me and you. and there will be love in the bodies of the elephants too. i'll put my hands over your eyes, but you'll peek through. ~noah and the whale

Today was garage sale day!! And overall we did really well. It seemed like business was slow, but I ended the day with 80 buckaroos. So I would say mission accomplished. I still have A BUNCH of stuff left, but me and Jasmine just decided to have another one later on. That way we can accumulate more stuff, hold on to what wasn't sold, and wait until we are closer to heading off to college. Overall, good good day!

Prayer Request!

So lucky, so strong, so proud. I never said thank you for that, now I'll never have a chance. May angels lead you in. On sleepless roads the sleepless go, may angels lead you in. ~Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World

Hey guys I have a MAJOR prayer request for you all right now. Jasmine and I are both a part of the Best Buddy club on campus where we basically have lunch with the special needs kids. And I don't know if you get the Californian or not, but if you don't check the article out here. One of our favorite kids, Trey (Charles), was in a car accident on Wednesday due to his mother being under the influence of alcohol and possibly marijuana. His little sister, Chloe, died during the accident, his brother has moderate injuries, but Trey is still in the hospital having to undergo surgery. So please please please pray for him! He is THE sweetest, most loving, kind boy at this school and he NEEDS to be okay. Please pray.

The House That Built Me

Tastes like candy canes at Christmas! ~Step Up 2

Hey Guys! I got the job at Stadium Pizza! :) :) Woo! I am so excited because I honestly cannot picture a place that fits me more perfectly. It works out good because I am there at least once a week anyway, might as well do something productive while I'm there. It is such an honor to work at the place that helped shape who I am. Come visit me sometime! It is the one on Jefferson :D It is really really good timing too because I just spent my last quarter today so I'm officially broke. Praise God!

Precious

I can't believe you're here now. Tiny dream come true. The answer to a prayer now, I'm so in love with you. Couldn't wait to meet you, hope you like your name. I get the funny feeling life will never be the same. ~Matthew West

Um...who will be singing this song to their kids when it's time for bed??...Me. This is the most precious song ever.

Boy Do I Feel Blessed

Always hoping for the best. Can't you see that you are blessed? Can't you hear my prayer request? ____, let it go, don't you know that I know. This is old, I can't hold any longer. Slipping through thought you knew you could be so much stronger. But you lose, always choose putting yourself in danger.

You know, we all have our fair share of crazy family members and I know I definitely have more than I bargained for. But through all the madness and stress and worry they bring to you, all of sudden you find someone who understands. It is weird how a couple of the children (my cousins) who have dealt with these antics still stay in contact with me. My heart melts when I get a message from them, because it's just a reminder that they go through the same things I do. Whenever I get a message I think: wow at one point we were really close, but then all this crazy stuff happened so we got torn apart, but you still enjoy watching me grow up even though I know I won't be able to see you. Bottomline guys...you're never alone. Once you get passed all the bad stuff, ya got some family that you can still call your family. That's cool man. God has been so good to me and boy do I feel blessed.

Learn Some More

Oh girl, growing up girl. Putting your hair in perfect curls. Your imperfections have scarred your mind, but make you beautiful on the outside. Don't be ashamed. They're perfectly placed, delicately made to delight on your face. ~ME!

Is it egotistical that I quote myself??...Probably! I'm just advertising...sorry >< So here are some things that I learned from today!

*Don't put in overnight curlers if you tend to have bad dreams. They will not stay in overnight
*Always carry cash with you...at least $14

* Always have a back up plan when your first mission to get donuts fails
* Never go to CVS before 7....it's closed

* If your going to Win Co at 6:15 a.m, have a weapon...it's sketchy

* If a friend asks you for a favor...do it :) It might just be rewarding

* Don't put things in your back pocket when you are going to the bathroom (like a credit card) because it WILL fall into the toilet

* If your doing a group project...make sure it stays a GROUP project

* You can never learn too much about someone

* When someone tells you to call them.....call them....it might end up in a job interview
* If you only have 10 minutes before getting somewhere, don't go to Subway and think you will have time to both order it and eat it.

This...ladies and gentlemen...is what I learned today

Francis Chan Fan

Excuse me while I just fall in love with God...seriously, this is one of those videos I will always come back to when I need it.

There's no way you can experience all this, feel all this, see all this, and then go oh it was all an accident. I think it just came form no where. There's no way. The bible says you have no excuse for not believing in God, because you can see God in everything.

If you could love each other as much as you love yourself, this place would be amazing

God's not gonna grade us on a curve

Love who you love with all that you have and don't waste the time that flies so fast. Love who you love and say that you do. Hold on as tight as they'll let you

Milestones

You gotta live and learn, you gotta crash and burn, you gotta make some stances and take some chances. You gotta laugh and love and take all of life has to give. You gotta live and learn so you can learn to live.

I took my first step towards my college days (besides applications). I officially downloaded skype! haha add me! Then I can see all your beautiful faces. :D Side note: I have officially been accepted to Azusa, Point Loma, Northern Arizona, and San Marcos.

Soak Up The Sun

\

The worst is over, you can have the best of me. We got older, but we're still young. We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up....We turn our music down, we're sitting on the ground, the next time I'm in town, we will kiss girl.

Today was one of those really good, but really packed days. I woke up at 6:15 and went over to Madeline's house. Then we both went to kidnapp Jessica for her birthday. We went to breakfast at Mimi's Cafe and then went to the park to bake in the sun. We got the weirdest looks being in our pajamas, but it was so much fun. Then, I went to play catch with my dad and brother at the park. Umm...my brother can throw further than the length of a football field and it kind of scares me to be honest. haha then I went on a double date with Becca & Mike and Keenan (obviously) haha We went to CPK and it was so much fun. Definitely doing that more often. :) Then I hung out with Keenan for a little bit and we just talked about the most random things. It was probably one of the best dates of my life to be perfectly honest. haha SO YES! AWESOME day and I'm so blessed for everyone who got to be a part of it.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

I’m suppose to be strong that’s just who I am. But you’re breaking me down again and again. Now I’m embarrassed by all that I feel. Like this weakness wasn’t part of the deal . It is just much too real. And I just want you to try . Out of all the girls by your side, I wanna be the one who holds your eyes. Now...I can't stop these tears or this rhyme.

Yo, I wrote another song ^^ haha so I have been praying a lot lately about some things that I need to work on. But I'm going to write them down so you guys can hold me accountable and help me out. Cool beans?

* I need to stop being jealous. Envy is something that has completely gotten me handcuffed. And it's not envy of possessions or looks or anything like that.
* I need to learn to rely on people more. I've always wanted to be the person that EVERYONE can rely on, but I realized that someday, I'm the person who is gonna need someone.
* I want to be someone who is NOT intimidating to be around. I want to be that person who everyone feels comfortable around and feels like I'm approachable and what not.
* I need to take better care of my body; both eating wise and exercise wise. My friend Amanda was telling me about this book called Fit For My King. And it gives good, legitimate reasons to stay fit. I always use to go on mini diets and half way through them I think "why am I doing this? I should be happy with how God made me"....but this book talks about how God intended us to be healthy and active. He BUILT us to be fit.
* Okay first, I need to be slow to anger. But when i DO get frustrated, I need to stop feeling completely guilty about it. There are a couple people in particular where I literally go through the same process every day: they do something, I get angry, I don't say anything, I get mad at myself for being stupid, I feel bad, and I try my best to make it up to them. So basically it goes from someone doing something wrong to me trying to make it up to them. o.0 haha

God Is Love

Ya know...this is so so very true. This is going to be a rambling post. I think a lot of people, especially myself, always confuse love with other things. I think it is because the people that we love are the ones we think of when someone says "Love." So we feel let down sometimes even though Love did absolutely nothing too us. It definitely hurts when you feel lonely, rejected, or envious (I have become a master in those) but it wasn't Love's fault. God is Love and He isn't the one that let us down. We just have to have faith that the people He let us love are going to believe in real Love too.

Sorry for the repetition of the world Love....haha

Nike

I'm a beautiful lunatic. I walked every where in these shoes looking for you. I'm just an orphan of the sky. Who and what and where and why.

So Madeline only BRIEFLY discussed the concept I am about to talk about, but I want to elaborate on it. One thing that I will not be able to understand is lazy people. Actually, I understand them, but they just irk me a littl bit. At the Peer Leader retreat, Zides was talking about how everyone has problems and everyone has homework to get done and who's to say what the magnitude of these things are? What makes someone successful is their ability to just suck it up and do their work, suck it up and study, suck it up and take action. And they don't wait to do what needs to be accomplished. The idea of "waiting for the perfect time" was created to justify procrastination. Time is perfect when you make it so. So....make it so. Learn from Nike. haha

Make Me Smile Why Don't You?

this.....THIS is what I need to hear...

My Beauty,

You can believe in Me, My beloved. It so breaks My heart when you doubt your Prince. What must I do to prove I am who I say I am and that you are Mine? Can I paint you another sunset to kiss you good night? Can I place more stars in the sky to bring a sparkle in your eye? Can I comfort you one more night when you call out to Me? Can I answer another prayer for My Princess? I will do whatever it takes, and I will never stop creating ways to prove to you that I am here.

Love,
Your Prince, the One who is real


My Lord,

How many times do I struggle to believe You are truly here with me? Even though You have proved Your presence over and over again, I still allow my heart to doubt. So here I am again, requesting that You will become more real to me than ever before. Please help me, my Prince, that I may never lose my faith in You again. Thank You for Your never0ending patience with Your Princess.

Love,
Your Princess who believes You now

I Go Back

Well I heard it today and I couln't help but sing along cause every time I hear that song...I go back to the feel of a 50 yard line, a blanket, a girl, some rasberry wine. Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks. Everytime I hear that song, I go back

So you know how almost every song brings you back to a time in your life, a moment, a place, a feel, a person, SOMETHING in your life? Okay...so itunes is on shuffle and I'm gonna tell you what each song reminds me of. Why? Because I feel like it

Safe & Sound

Safe and sound you're here with me now like I hoped you'd be. Safe and sound you're here with me now and that's all I'll ever need. The world's a scary place here, but baby it's all right. I'll make sure the coast is clear so you can just sleep tight. But if you're afraid of monsters like everybody is, I'll be right beside you.

Today was such a great day. As most of you know, for a while I spent a lot of my time babysitting 5-year-old Christopher. He became like the little brother I always wanted, but unfortunately in October they no longer needed me. I hadn't seen him since then. But today I was walking into my schools library to tutor and he was sitting in the office with the woman who runs his after school day care. I was in such complete shock and it literally felt like I was reunited with one of my own siblings. I asked if he rememberd me and he said "yes, i miss you" and I just completely died inside. When I was done talking to him, I was on the verge of tears because I was so happy to see him. I miss Christopher SO SO much and I know it's so cliche, but you honestly don't know how much some people mean to you until you can no longer see them. I wish I could have had more time to talk to him. Lord, I pray that all is well with him and his family.

Love

the fair needs to come back today...maybe tomorrow...i will give them a day so it is more realistic. seriously, me, madeline, and jessica had the greatest time there and i would want nothing more than to go back to that summer day

At Random

I roll my eyes and then you pull me in. I'm not much for dancing, but for you I did. Because I loved your handshake meeting my father. I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets, how you kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something. There's not a day that I don't miss those rude interruptions. And I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes.

So today I went to a candelight party with my mom and I gotta say that some of the most significant/memorable things in your life happen at random. We were almost done and Amber was explaining how every month the company sponsors a person or family who has cancer. She had a sock with the breast cancer emblem on it that we were to put change into if we had any to give.

This time around the person that they were supporting was a 17 year old girl named Kendal who lives in Minnesota. She died eight days ago. Kendal was 10 when she defeated cancer the first time, but unfortunately she couldn't do the same during the second battle. I don't know this girl at all, but it kind of hits you hard when she is the same age with the same name.

I put all the money I had into that sock....and I just pray it helps her family.

There's a million reasons for you to go, but if you can find a reason to stay, I'll do whatever it takes to turn this around. I know what's at stake, I know that I've let you down and if you give me a chance believe that I can change. I'll keep us together, whatever it takes. ~Lifehouse

Can these PLEASE exist in real life? I mean we were created to connect with the people around us. We weren't meant to be solitude and completely ignorant of the men and woman who walk all around us. So what would be so bad about having a conversation with a stranger who is willing to give you some of their time? There are SO many people in this world just waiting to connect with another human being. How bout we actually do it?

My Princess,

Be real with me. You are precious and beautiful to Me. You never need to pretend to be something other than who I made you to be. I don't want you to try and impress Me by pretending that all is perfect in your life, My love. I want you to find great freedom in being real with Me. The more real you become, the better you will relate to others. No more pretending, My princess. I love you just the way you are, and I want you to be real with Me in all you do and say. I gave My life for you so you could live free to be yourself. Don't let anyone steal your joy by turning you into something fake. Be true to yourself and be true to Me, because I love the real you.

Love,
Your True King

Precious...

Long live all the magic we made and bring on all the pretenders. One day, we will be remembered. I said remember this feeling. I passed the pictures around of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines wishing for right now.

So these past couple days I have been spending time with my Peer Leader family on our winter retreat. We spent the first day at school and even though their wasn't MUCH to do, it was probably one of the greatest times of my life. Then the next day we headed to Pacific Beach to hang out. If you want to see more pictures just visit my facebook :) It was such a good time and it amazes me how much you can get to know people if you let yourself do so. Praise God for letting me be a part of something so special!

I like the way I can't keep my focus, I watch you talk, you didn't notice that I hear the words but all I can think is we should be together.

17. Favorite lyric line from Sparks Fly, The Story Of Us or Speak Now: You're the kind of reckless that you send me running.

18. Favorite lyric from another song on the album, including the extra tracks of the deluxe version: But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know or pushing people down to get you where you want to go. Well they don't teach you that in prep school so it's up to me, but no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity.

19. Favorite song lyrics of a Taylor Swift song overall: Well you drive me crazy half the time, the other half I'm only trying to let you know that what I feel is true. And I'm only me when I'm with you.

20. Favorite Taylor Swift quote:

To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.

I think I'm gonna keep him around. haha

No pictures, no pretty lyrics, just words this time around. So I was praying earlier today and I just became so incredibly amazed about some aspects of God....so He made this world in SUCH perfection so that everything is connected in such a divine way. He purposely made this world beautiful FOR us. Beauty is something we all strive for, we all want so badly in order to be happy and we all desperately need. And he single handedly made things beautiful just so we know that if we really want something, we can have it. Its like most people think beauty is sooo hard to obtain, when actually it is RIGHT in front of us, all because of Him. And THEN i was thinking....that it was his intention to create us imperfectly so that other people can have a chance to experience true love. Because when you love someone, you love all of them. And if we were all flawless we wouldn't even know what true love is. We wouldn't be given the chance to validate our feelings because we wouldn't need to prove ourselves. Imperfections give us a chance to love someone in their entirety. And I think this is a truly beautiful thing indeed.

Tell Me Princess

Have any of you ever considered the words in this song being from God? Listen to it again, pretend He's the one singing. It's cool. haha

I can show you the world; shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell me princess now when did you last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes. Take you wonder by wonder, over side ways and under on a magic carpet ride. A whole new world. A new fantastic point of view.

Can you see it at all? I think after reading all those "My Princess" books, the moment Aladdin said "Princess" I just got a wild hair. Even though this wasn't how the song was intended, I like finding double meanings in things.

I mean, it works right? That's how I felt a year ago when I cam back to my faith: happy, loved, captivated, free, things were crystal clear, and I came to a point in my life that was absolutely breathtaking. I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far. I can't go back to where I use to be....so true.

Let me share this whole new world with you....

Yeah winter's gone
Spring has come
Love is here can't you see
Like the autumn leaves
Bring me to the spring
Show me how to love someone

Senior Movie Night

When I left, I wanted you to chase after me. I said leave but all I really want is you to stand outside my window throwing pebbles screaming "I'm in love with you." Wait there in the pourin' rain comin' back for more. And don't you leave cause I know all I need is on the other side of the door. ~Taylor Swift

Aww, yay for cute songs :) So tonight was Senior Movie Night!! I have been waiting for this night all year, no joke. I was so ready to spend a day just huddled under blankets trying to keep warm, eating junk food, catchin' up, and hanging out with all my favorite people. GOSH I was so excited for it. I even bought Toy Story cookies to get more pumped up for this night. haha anyway, it was a lot of fun even though we didn't watch THAT much of the movie. This was just one of those simple days that you want to remember for a long time. I delight in nights like these and I am thankful for everyone who got to experience it with me!

I Get A Little Bit Stronger

Hi...this movie is called Country Strong...ummm...go see it, now.

I could go on and on about it, but I would rather you create your own opinion

Kicks And Gigs

To share a life that draws us closer to the one that we live for. And I will give you my heart and all of who I am. I will give more than vows and words could ever say. I'll give you my all on this day. ~Jadon Lavik

Today was really nothing special, but it was just one of those LOVELY days. So very simple, yet so very extraordinary. I don't know what it is, but something about today just makes me want to remember it for the rest of my life. I cannot thank God enough for blessing me with such incredible people in my life. Praise Him!

Top Of The Tree

You know, I feel like high school is silently brutal for everyone, but especially on girls. I was a part of some conversations today that made my heart hurt a little bit. Ladies, please know that you should NEVER settle for less than you deserve. My good friends made a point that if YOU are ready for a relationship, but it just hasn't happened yet, then maybe the guy that's meant for you isn't ready. So just pray for him. Don't jump into the easiest open arms, they probably won't hold you very carefully anyway. Be at the top of the tree and don't let some unworthy bystanders pick you from where you were placed. xoxo

And I Love Her....

Just walk away, ain't no use defending words that you will never say. And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through, I've never been anywhere cold as you.

Hey everyone! This is my new niece Cali Bear Craig. She is a Maltipoo and is the reason for me accepting small dogs as part of the canine species. Cali was named after the Cal Berkeley Bears, where Marie and Allen both attended college aaaand I love her.

18 Years In

just a little girl in a bigger world turned upside down. well don't you throw it all away. when you're safe and sound inside your bed, i know you dream of things bigger than the things that you let live.

Silly Girl, Pretty girl

You're so deep inside, you're my DNA, you're how tall I am, you're how much I weigh, you're the reason that someone had penned the phrase 'to know her is to love her' and i love her. Silly girl, pretty girl do you not see what a spell your sweet love has cast on me?

Sorry about the middle part that's slightly weird about movie screens and magazines. haha other than that, I really like this song

Make God Smile

Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time.

I know I am only seventeen, so my merit is a little bit tainted, but just stick with me here. I feel like we overuse the word "forgiveness" to the point where it completely loses its original meaning. It no longer becomes a necessary action, but instead a word that is used to make the advice you give sound better or more compassionate. Like the quote said, when someone says "i forgive you" they expect that person to change, to take back what they did, or to say they are sorry. When really, none of that is probably going to happen. "Forgiveness" is not meant to paint over what happened or to get some kind of reaction out of the person who wronged you. If they truly knew the effects of their actions, they wouldn't have done it in the first place. And even if they do not realize it now, the truth will come back to them eventually.

I'm sorry, I know I am talking in circles here!

Bottom line...forgive someone...just because. If not to completely save whatever relationship is slightly shaky, but to make God smile...I feel like that's what happens. I think that would be enough motivation for me to get my butt in shape. haha

Awesome

Mission Accomplished

Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it. Just play it cool boy.

On Sunday Keenan FINALLY got to enjoy his Christmas present; tickets to go see West Side Story. It was amazing!! Of course, I have never seen the movie so I have nothing to actually compare it to. BUT in my opinion it was awesome. The dancing literally just blew me away. Most of you already know I am addicted watching dancing. I think that it is possibly the most beautiful thing in this world. This is why the only show I watch religiously is So You Think You Can Dance? Anyway! The only thing I really care about is that Keenan liked it and had a fun time....and he said that he did :)

So...mission accomplished!

Big Wheel Keep On Turning...

Aslan: In your world, I have a different name...

Gosh! New Years Eve was so much fun! I gotta say, I am so blessed to be surrounded by lovely ladies such as Madeline Wilga and Jessica Dippolito. We started off the day by going to see the new Narnia movie and that was actually really cool. I'm sure a lot of you know by now that those movies are representative of characters/scenes/stories from the Bible. Example: Aslan = God. However, I think that this movie was the first time that it was directly stated. Of course, they made it pretty obvious in the first two, but this time they said it loud and clear. It was just so amazing! I absolutely love those movies...

THEN! We headed over to Jessica's house (thank you so much for having it Jess) and we just ate, played catch up, and wii danced. :) :) I really think that this game is one of the greatest inventions ever. Thank you ladies for making this the best New Years in a long time!
