decisions.

Being a senior in highschool is rewarding, stressful, exciting and nerve-wrenching all at once. You have the responsibilities that come with it (i.e. grades ^, scholarship information, where the heck you want to go, what the heck you want to do) and it is so overwhelming at times. I stayed up late last night registering for ACT/SATs once again and looking into the requirements for the college of my choice (which is flagler, btw). IT SO DANG STRESSFUL Y'ALL.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid" //Einstein

That is a quote that keeps me going, well most of the time. Testing hasn't always been a strongship of mine, but I can usually accomplish it with lots of studying and tears. but testing happens a lot, especially during your senior year. You have AP tests, Ch tests, ACT/SAT tests, and who knows what else. Luckily as a senior you can exempt 3 finals and don't have to take FCATs because who knows if i'd be able to handle that. 

 "He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished" Prov28:19-20

What a verse. In times where I am completely engulfed by my emotions of fear and overwhelment (yes i know that isn't a word,shh) I need to think of who my God is. He is Alpha, Omega, Beginning and The End (Revelation 22:13). He brought me this far, surely He will lead me to the end. It's is just the process of the during which is the hard part..

thanks to whoever for reading my pointless rants and emotions,

olympics, juju, and lisa frank

ok, first is first:

 The Olympics

everyone knows it, happens every four years, people compete, basically The Hunger Games, blah blah blah. 

Well this year the ones I have been keeping track of the most is the Women Gymnast, in other words The Fab Five: 

these girls have seriously blown my mind, they are so young yet so good! I can definitely say I was so happy to see them win gold. 

Another sport I'm up to date with, so to say, is swimming. Phelps is a crowd favorite, with being the "most decorative Olympian of all time", that's pretty darn amazing. 

but beside keeping track of this guy another guy thats been on the watch is our very own Gator, Ryan Lotche:

(oh hey)

ANYWAY enough with all this let's talk Juju and Lisa Frank. 

Juju is my 5 year old cousin who is visiting from North Carolina. He doesn't stop talking and has the best laugh. He comes down twice a year and it's always so much fun with him. He is staying a couple days with us and we are taking him to build a bear (mostly for me but well you know).

And well Lisa Frank is a girls sticker maker..lol my description is gold of her. anyway when I was younger I used to have Lisa Frank everything and it was eventually discontinued and last night I found out that they had an app! we went crazy.

..oh happy day..

when you washed my sins away!

today i did some little online shopping and was in the "market" to buy a couple new things but ended up only buying one.. i bought new sandals from old navy!

well i went to purchase everything (7.99 shipping fees..sigh) but i had a good deal on the shoe so i had to get them. anyway i went purchased it and once i clicked purchase i realized i ordered them in the wrong color! i ordered black instead of "tobacco" brown. golly, world might have well just ended right there! haha I want brown only because i hardly wear anything that matches with black (in my opinion) anyway i panicked called old navy got my ordered changed AND got free shipping, holla boom. (thanks Jill!) 

now i must get ready, i'm off to see DARK KNIGHT RISES. 

eeep, till next time!

wishing.

looking at photos and wishing and hoping and praying that my life would look this amazing one day.

i love how lights look at dusk. 

could you imagine waking up to this one day? even if it was just for vacation. wow. 

can someone be in love with a photo? i can. look at this. the simplicity of it. love the dust particles. ahhhh. 

ok so maybe that was just a photo and maybe you think i'm silly. maybe i am. maybe it is just a photo. 

i don't know where this post is going, but i tend to ramble when i think a lot. 

this is me rambling. also i have no capitalization in this post and it is kind of bugging me. 

you know, sometimes i find other peoples blogs and sit here and i just wish i was doing half the things they do in a day. like maybe if i surrounded myself with friends who were more adventures i would be able to do something like going on mountain hikes (which would be hard considering i live in florida...) or have coffee dates and sit around and discuss the bible, or maybe just sitting around laughing and taking photos that come out so full of life. 

maybe this post is selfish, because i am blessed with a tremendous life. but i, as a human, am left with wishing more.

Camp.Camp. And More Camp.

Hi friends! Been a while huh? Okay maybe about a week or so but oh well. I have time to finally write a bit.. ok let's start with last week. Okay, so every year I go to Daytona with my youth group for a week to have one of the best weeks ever. We go to what is called 'BigStuf'. We have churches from all over the United States come and basically have a huge worship fest every day and hear amazing speakers. Just to name a few that we had last week (speaker wise) was Andy Stanley, Judah Smith, Jamie Tworkowski, Renee Yohe, and Pattie Malette (Justin Bieber's mom ya'll, crazy!). Worship people wise we had Phil Wickham (Who lead worship this year), Mac Powell, Natalie Grant, Mike Donehey, Laura Story, Aaron Shust, JON FOREMAN,  Shane and Shane, and Rend Collective Experiment! Wow okay, enough of the name dropping. Here are some pictures from my week:

I also got new cds and a Dona Miller book called A Million Miles In A Thousand Years. Has anyone read it? I'm liking it so far. If you haven't read Blue Like Jazz, I definitely recommend it! 

I hope everyone's week was just as blessed!

xoxo
