2012 in a nutshell.

  2012 has definitely been a whirlwind year. I started at whole new school (and school system..), I have made new friends, I have lost friends, I grew closer to my sweet Lord, I started a blog, I became a senior in high school, I got accepted into my dream school!!  I have done a whole lot this year. I can't believe it's already coming to an end. I could have sworn it was December 31, 2011 and I was in my living room with my best friend and my brother and his friend and we were counting 3,2,1 into 2012.


  You know how when you get older people say that life will fly by...it is so true friends. I was just a freshmen in high school ! Dealing with silly things and now I am a senior getting ready to deal with financial aid and independent scholarships.. it's ridiculous. I don't know how I feel about it getting ready to be 2013, but I'm sure that the Lord will guide me through it.





that one time i dyed the bottom of my hair green...












although some friendships end others start again. new faces come into your life and sometimes these new ones stay for a while, or stay forever. 

I'm excited for this new year of hope and dreams coming true.. hope y'all are too.

Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals!

Happy Christmas friends. Today is a day of laughter, family, friends, loves, gifts, much most importantly, the one who today is meant for.

‎"For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

Our God sent His one and only Son to be born, in a manager and to live among us as human. He came down in the humblest way a King could ever come. We are blessed beyond measure. I am blessed beyond measure. 

Hope today was wonderful for you.

brighter days are ahead.

hi friends!
I have such wonderful news to share. I got my second (and final!!!) acceptance letter today! I got in early decision to my DREAM SCHOOL y'all!! My heart is so happy and I can't believe my dreams are coming true. It's been a crazy past couple months but receiving that letter today made me realize I have my whole life ahead of me.


"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:19
That's a verse that I can remember learning back in my awana days. and it's a verse I have always believed the Lord fulfills. We have such an amazing and glorious Father, friends. I can't say that enough. 

"I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy." John 16:20
There's been a lot of tears shed lately..either from stress or feelings or movies.... but this verse is so true. Just because I am sad doesn't mean the world is too and just because I am overwhelmed with happiness doesn't mean the world is as well.. so even though I am rejoicing I need to think of others who don't have the same opportunities as I do. 


-Christmas is right around the corner friends.. pray about sponsoring a child to help get them an education. Think about it.. you could make their life.

Nostalgia.

What does that word mean exactly?

Urban Dictionary's definition:


An endless cycle of longing for the past.

Google's definition:

Noun:
A sentimental longing for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.
The evocation of these feelings or tendencies, esp. in commercialized form.
Synonyms:
homesickness

Okay, well clearly it means you are missing something..or someone. Friends, I don't know what to tell you. Things are changing and I usually embrace change, believe me I'm all for it.. but this change I don't know.. It involves cutting someone out of your life that you saw fit perfectly. It's deleting history, pictures, and the memories that come with that. It's a lot harder then I could have imagined.. but then again I didn't ever imagine doing this to begin with...


"You don't have to cut them out completely.. just forget this part of your relationship with them"

I was told that recently..and I wanted to laugh in that person's face. "Forget this part of your relationship with them?" You're kidding, right? That's impossible. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget this person. This person was so special to me.. I guess they still are, it's just different now. There's been broken trust.. broken feelings.. just broken everything. But with experiences I guess also comes learning. 

I don't know friends.. I don't know what to tell you. All I can say is that as of right now I am trying and that is all I can do right now.
