Holidays

Ahh! Holidays! I just love them. They make me so cheerful and happy. Seeing people I usually don't see, eating TONS of food, going to see family, and simply just being out of school. I just am always in a holiday mood. One of my pet peeves is when people celebrate a holiday before the other ends. For example putting christmas decorations up before thanksgiving.
My family has many traditions we do for each holiday. Thanksgiving we always go to Florida to visit my moms side of the family. We are like one big, Italian family. We are LOUD, eat tons, and laugh uncontrollably. It is always loads of fun. On Thanksgiving we go to my grandmas second house. It sits on hundreds of acres. They have four wheelers, dirt bikes, golf carts, etc. We just race all throughout the trails. It never gets old.
This year I went earlier than my family. They all come Wednesday and I came Sunday! I flew in and did a layover all by myself... oh i am so proud! :) I was nervous but just asked some random non creepy people and it was all good. From the time I stepped off the plane till now I have been going non stop having fun! We went to see New Moon (ahhh! best ever), went shopping (tons of new adorable clothes), manicures, and eating out! It has been a blast. So worth my horrid plane rides. Tonight we picked my aunt up from the airport. She was flying in from college. Yes, I have an aunt thats only four years older than me. Weird... I know. She is already gone off with friends. I am now watching movies with my nonnie and enjoying every bit of it! :)
Like I said, Holidays are the best!

My assumption, His answer

Last weekend was amazing! Sorry I am a little late to tell about it. I was re awakened with Gods truth, I sewed a friendship back together, I hung out with people I would of never seen myself with, and I didn't have a lot of homework (always a plus).
I always assume things which I need to stop doing. I assumed me and her would never talk; we hung out last weekend. I assumed he wouldn't want to hang out with me; we hung out a whole day last weekend. I assumed God would just give up on me; he never has and never will.
Assumptions usually only set me up for failure. I tell myself something so many times I start to believe it even though its not true. I have gotten in so many arguments with the result being, "oh, i just assumed you..." That assumption caused an argument that wouldn't of been there if I didn't let Satan into my head and create it. My prayer for today is that God will open my eyes and show me the difference between my assumption and His answer.
Have a wonderful weekend y'all! :)

Long, Dark Tunnel

She moves in three months. What did I do wrong God for this to be happening? She is my other half. I need her to be within reach. Reach in three months will be hours away! I know, God, you don't tell us your daily plan for our life's but right about now it would be good to know. Is there anything your doing to protect me from? Honestly, I can't see the purpose of this tragedy. My heart aches. Three months is a second once it passes. It will creep up and shock us all. But you. But you know everything now, than, and then. You have a plan. Help me trust you. Help me see the light out of this LONG, dark tunnel. And God, shine your light through me.

Life...

So I feel like all my post lately have been kinda down and not funny. School has taken over my life and flipped it. I have learned so much about procrastination you won't believe it. I could honestly do a report on it! I have made some pretty awesome friends. Would you like to know something things about them? Aw good cause I am sharing!
1. She likes to help people out. She loves the railroad (strange huh?). She is African. Her name is (drumroll....) HARRIET TUBMAN! 2. He was a president (friends with the president.... weird). He hated slavery (good me too!). His name is.... ABRAHAM LINCOLN!
So you liking my new friends so far? I have learned about everything a good friend should know. I even did a project on my girl Harriet. Props to my hilarious rap! Go check it out, http://www.flocabulary.com/historysample2.html
Guys you will die laughing! HILARIOUS!
So there you have it. A glimpse in my life these days! Maybe Harriet will do a shout-out some day to me... you think? :)

He is always there!

Yesterday I got onto facebook (big surprise! haha) and I noticed something that was written on one of my friends walls. This person usually doesn't get anything written on her wall so I was curious. I read it and started getting jealous. The post was telling that girl how much she is loved and appreciated. I was not jealous of who was telling that girl but that she got a post like that. I wished right then and there I would hear those words towards me. I asked God why I never hear any of my friends telling me those kinds of words. I refreshed my page and I saw I had an email. I read it and wept. Everything I had been longing for, I got. This girl told me I was loved, appreciated, and much more. God has been really looking out for me lately and I am so thankful. He is always there! You just have to put your faith in Him!

Extending All That I Have

We got into a fight, again. Will there ever be peace? Will you understand my side. Why don't I want to understand your side. Maybe I feel I'm the only one right.
Please don't let that hurt our friendship. We've been strong for long. Now this comes up. One bad decision can ruin many good ones.
Go and have fun with her. Remember me though. I lied, I did want to go. I was hiding all the burt behind lies. Why? I don't have an answer. Human nature maybe? Or is that a lame excuse?
Memories like these will fade if we let go. Good memories will last if we hold on. Hold on. I'm extending all that I have. Hold on.

Nervous...

I have a feeling that I can't explain. I am half happy and half nervous! The nerves are taking over right about now. Today at 4:00pm thousands of people will tune in to watch Oprah expecting a great show. My family is going to be part of the show today. The news has spread and people we know are watching. I am praying the show will make an impact. When we taped last spring I felt good about it. But theres such a thing called editing! I pray that they don't take out the parts where we talk about God, or leave in parts that should have been taken out. Overall, I pray that it will be a great show and people see the love of God shinning through us.
