morgan and faith.

there once was a girl named faith. she had a little brother named asher. she loved to play video games. she had brown eyes and blonde hair. she also had a cousin named morgan. she went to east carolina university and loved to play any sport. she too had a little brother named madison. she had brown hair and green eyes. one day they were at their grandmas house for her birthday cookout and after they finished eating they learned a lot of things about the body, since morgan had to study her anatomy. faith learned about the location of the liver, stomach, and even the diaphram. she also learned about the different planes of the body like the sagital, transverse, and frontal planes. then it was time to leave. goodbye everyone.

written by a wonderful seven year old, faith gabrielle.

in addition to this little blurb written by my cute little cousin i wanted to share a quick thought. so as i was passing a sign this week, it said,"pray until something happens." this quote my friends has been on my mind all week. think about it though, if we are diligently praying for God's will to be done in whatever situation we are faced with, something is gonna happen. it may not be exactly how we wanted it or how we planned but the big man upstairs has got everything under control. hes got this plan that sometimes we cant comprehend, and ya know maybe we arent supposed to. maybe we cant understand the complexity of God because we wouldnt be able to handle it. james 4:8 says "draw near to God and he will draw near to you" its kinda self-explainitory. if you're feeling at a loss of what to do or even just wanna invest in a great relationship, all you have to do is reach out to him, he will be there to return the favor. delve into his word and just talk to him. its an awesome thing.

tramp stamp

thunder.

i know all i talk about most of the time is just negative things but thats one of the main times i need to write so i guess thats ok. so last night i have one of those moments, the overwhelming feeling of complete desperation like when you start to question everything. that happens though, to me anyways, when i start thinking about relationships and love and the future and all of those decisions that ive made that impact where i am today. tears were involved. it was just a snowball effect. BUT it all started when i soon realized that no matter how bad i wanted a friendship to stay where it was, it was falling apart. my friend could text other people and be perfectly fine with them but they couldnt talk to me. there could be numerous reasons why but honestly i have no idea. ive gone over different scenarios in my head but it still doesnt make things better. im being a girl about it though, and i hate it. and i hate the way that its always on my mind. and ya know what...it pisses me off that it doesnt seem to fade them. maybe i just need to quit caring as much and guard my heart, which i have gotten better at. my emotions get the best of me. oh well im over it, im just trying not to dwell because i need to "rejoice in the Lord always" and thats what im doing. i hand everything over to him because when i try to do life myself, it ends up a screwed up mess. 


ohh ps my girls are going to rah-town AGAIN and im so excited for them (: b. isaacs, you did work tonight. two homeruns. GETT ITTTTT! 


pss although i LOVE storms, i think i about had a heart attack when it thundered two seconds ago. it shook the pictures on my desk. crazy.

(images soon) AND we went to see the midnight premiere of the pirates of the caribbean. lets just say katies grandma, sidney, megan, and i fell asleep. it really wasnt that bad and im so glad we went just maybe next time we can see it a little earlier.

pomegranate.

katie and i just spent approximately two and a half hours on skype...it was pretty intense. i uploaded pictures from ages ago. she spent her time on stumbleupon which by the way im pretty sure any person could waste an entire day looking at and not realize it. it is probably the greatest creation for wasting time anyone could come up with. its definitely in competition with facebook. i also did a first on my list...a facemask. it wasnt as hardcore as jennifer garner in 13 going on 30 but sorta, maybe, a little. it smelled though and i really dont like pomegranate. my video doesnt seem to be working but when it does, you can preview this exciting experience. goodnight everyone.

morning burst.

so my room and bathroom are complete disasters. but as of tonight it can be put off another day, perhaps tomorrow. we will see. 

anyway i have found a new obsession. its like a delightful, fruity experience. you should try it. 

oh and im kinda disappointed in myself. i splurged on a bowl of ice cream. probably the best in the world. there goes my run. oh well, it was delicious. 

i love reading these.

and continuing my country mood... you know those songs that scarily reminds you of your life or even what you hope for. yeah these songs are it right now. this is what happens when i have too much alone time, i think too much. but anyway enjoy some good ol' chris young and diamond rio, i know i am. 

golden afternoon.

today is just one of those days chill days. one where you wake up at nine, take a shower, and go work for your grandpa for a couple hours then go hang out with your wonderful grandma and cousin. throw in a nap and its a golden afternoon. do a couple nice things for your mother like fill up her gas tank and pick up a few groceries. but of course you go with one of your bests because you would rather slice your foot off than face that cold, aisled-filled building alone. eat some kfc that your fantastic mom picked up. watch half of season six of f.r.i.e.n.d.s. curled up with a blanket and paint your nails a red orange color just because you can. its one of those days you can get up and decide to run at 10 pm down your long, dark driveway but not be scared because middle school rap songs drown out the potential fears and the throbbing pain in your bum right leg. a day that soon turns into late night where you find yourself in a county mood, looking at numerous blogs, and playing the what if game. thinking about the future and just having time to yourself.   skyping about future roommates and finally getting to talk to one of them on facebook, which of course is extremely nerve-racking and intimidating but you pray that God will get you through it. a wonderful, much needed day.
