Did i Really need it?

This week has been hectic juggling school, a baby, and fun was intersting. No I am not a parent. so why a baby? Child Development is an interesting class. This week it happend to be my week to have the Baby Think it Over. It's so realistic.
Why should I get to complain? I was looking through the Bible today and found this verse
                          1 corinthians 15:51           ~We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed -~
When I found this verse I thought just that. Why me? Many people are up all night long working one job than another during the day. Some mothers are awake with the feeling that their child will not come home, for they have been shot. Some have health issues that don't go away like a little cough or a cut on my finger. Do they not get the same rights as me? I thought about a good friend of mine who compleatly hates when people complain. She is'nt a people person at all. Yet she doesn't complain. Another verse I always think off is Ephesians 2:10


                     Ephesians 2:8-10 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.


we were all saved. God saved me from the hardships of this doll that I had for a week. God is saving those mothers with the twisted gut . It might not seem like it but he is. God is great and God is good

Just to hard...

So I was listening to  trying too hard   by John Ruben.  
I said you’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural
You look uncomfortable
You’re trying too hard
You must not know who you are
It’s not natural
Relax a little


Love this song.  It reminds me of so many things.




On sunday at youth group we are going with the theme of the adult bible studies. God Questions. so think of this one for a bit. Does God really punish us?

A new Start

This Comming week is home coming YAY! We are a very sprited school. Today  I went shopping with my mom. I also cleaned out my closet. Fall cleaning instead of Spring cleaning.Got some great things to wear for Western day at school. Even though I spent alot of money on my clothes; I am donating alot more. Two whole bags stuffed with clothes that I no longer wear.

OH MAMA!

OH MAMA!

                  Last night my Mom and I went to the Washington Pavillion and saw Mama Mia! It was FANTASTIC. Husby really knows how to put on a show. We got Balcony seats. Most people would want to sit up closer but we got to see the whole thing. ( For those of you who have no idea what  Mama Mia!  is, it is a musical based off of ABBA ( a singing group ) ) I would highly recomend that you see at least one musical in your lifetime.

                

Summer is Like a Pinecone

Summer is like a pinecone is so many ways. It has this natural beauty that is indescribable. There is no way to ameliorate it. It is perfect. But when you get to close you notice the imperfections. The spikiness of the needles the cobwebs and spider webs all around make you want to avoid it all together. Just like summer too perfect to be true. That’s how my summer was to perfect to be true. Just like the pinecone.

This summer was all too real. We took a family trip and flew to Las Vegas Nevada. I never expected us to go there. We saw so many things, like, Paris hotel, The Bellagio, the Venetian, Caesars Palace, and so much more. My Parents went to see Hoover Dam I did not want to spend a whole day there so instead Janelle took me to Henderson Nevada to go shopping. Our Mall compared to that mall looked callow. Of course we did not just want to shop we wanted to sight see.

While in Vegas we took a ‘little’ drive down the strip it took us almost two whole hours to drive. But at least we got to see what it looked like we wanted to see the Freemont Street experience. When we got there the light show had just begun. This year’s show was about queen and the summer of ’69. It was so late we were tired and ready to go to our hotel and lie by the pool. We will never go back to that hotel. It was not very clean we weren’t comfortable there. So we spent little time there. We wanted to see a show but the closest we got to that was the Freemont Street experience. We all had fun I would love to go again. My Dad on the other hand would not. But all came to an end to soon.

This Labor Day weekend I got to go to Life Light. Life Light is a free Christian music festival. This year I got to go back stage. A few of my favorite bands were playing. Super Chic[k] was playing along with Pigeon John, John Ruben, Family Force 5, TFK, and more (even though some of my favorite bands didn’t come). I got to see old friends and family. My cousin Shade and his mom Bethany came out from Ohio. Not only did I expand my faith here but by gazing into the sky

At the end of a long day it is just so relaxing to take a hayride. We would tell long stories and fall asleep listening. I just liked to watch the stars and the moon. The darker the sky the more stars. We would look up for shooting stars. When I thought I saw one they all laughed and told me it was a satellite. To me it was a shooting star so I made a wish. I took a trip to the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. I told them about the stars at night on my long hayrides. So as we walked back to our hotel on the Cowboy trail we looked up at the stars trying to find the shooting stars.

Summer is like the last sunset before the first day of school. It is so surreal. You don’t want it to be here already. Summer was too short. School came too soon. I never wanted that last sunset to happen. Not in Vegas at Life Light or on the Last day of summer. I wished on a shooting star for it never to end. Hoping that the pine cone stay forever.
