It seems like everyone is doing the whole " If You Knew Me " thingy-ma-bob! So i am going to do one... i know, way to much fun :P  ( not really everyone, but i am really bored so i am going to do it anyway )

IF YOU KNEW ME YOU WOULD KNOW....

I am a Christian

I long to be in Jesus arms

I have a messed up family

I LOVE horses

I am shy ( around people i dont know )

I LOVE to laugh

I can fake a smile like no other

I have random words i say

FANTASTIC and STRIVE are like my favorite words

I have 3 BEST friends and then a bunch of really good friends

I have a lot of problems with my dad... i pretty much just dont like him

I like to write how i feel done and then read it a year later and think WOW i was stupid :P Its kinda fun

If you tell me something... i will most likly tell Lane or Tyler.... but if you ask me not to then i wont

I Strive to get As in school (although i dont always get As :(

I dream of the day i can DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah thats about it :P

* Some fantastic person ( hint hint Tyler ) sent this to me, i think he found it on myspace or something like that but i thought it was pretty niffty *

                             Ok i give up!
I am so exhausted, B/c i am so exhausted i'm not doing well in school, B/c i'm not doing well in school i am up-set, B/c i'm up-set i have a bad audited, B/c i have a bad audited i get in trouble, B/c i get in trouble I am so exhusted! Is it to much to ask for Happiness?? I mean i feel a little bit of everything BUT Happiness, i just want to be Happy, for a little longer than a second. Is that to much to ask? Yes i Laugh, but Laughing is a minute or so of something being Funny, its nothing compared to Happiness!!! Happiness is longer lasting, joy, peace, love, kindness... Happiness is... is something pretty much everyone longs for. Don't get me wrong.. Laughter is a wonderful thing, but Happiness is a FANTASTIC thing.
Happiness Is Something I Strive For

What Makes A Legend?
Is It What Someone Did When They Were Alive?
Or
How Their Rememberd After Their Gone?

Quote From The Second Best Movie Ever ~The Guardian~ ( ~Knights Tale~ Will Always Be # 1 In My Book )


* If you cant read it.. it says " Movie Hero "

;)

                         Do Not Worry
"Therefore I Say To You, Do Not Worry About Your Life, What You Will Eat Or What You Will Drink; Nor About Your Body, What You Will Put On. Is Not Life More Than Food And The Body More Than Clothing? Look At The Birds Of The Air, For They Neither Sow Nor Reap Nor Gather Into Barns; Yet Your Heavenly Father Feeds Them. Are You Not Of More Value Then They? Which Of You By Worrying Can Add One Cubit To His Stature? So Why Do You Worry About Clothing? Consider The Lilies Of The Field, How They Grow: They Neither Toil Nor Spin; And Yet I Say To You That Even Solomon In All His Glory Was Not Arrayed Like One Of These. Now If God So Clothes The Grass Of The Field, Which Today Is, And Tomorrow Is Thrown Into The Oven, Will He Not Much More Clothe You, O You Of Little Faith? Therefore Do Not Worry, Saying "What Shall We Eat?" Or "What Shall We Drink?" Or "What Shall We Wear?" For After All These Things The Gentiles Seek. For Your Heavenly Father Knows That You Need All These Things. But Seek First The Kingdom Of God And His Righteousness, And All These Things Shall Be Added To You. Therefore Do Not Worry About Tomorrow, For Tomorrow Will Worry About Its Own Things. Sufficent For The Day Is Its Own Troubles"
Matthew 6:25-34

Why Me....
Why Now....
*** I mean i can't handle this anymore... i need people standing by me not pushing me to do things i shouldn't do! Do people not understand i am trying to get on track with God??? Why do i have to go through this.... It comes to me doing something wrong or losing someone i love. *** Austin dont say a word*** I need all the prayers i can get right now!! PLEASE

Whats up my people?
Nothing much has changed in my weird and twisted life. Other then trying to please everyone and get through school with out driving myself craZy, i think i have been doing pretty Dandy. But it seems like most of my friends are going through these horible storms and i can't help. Its like watching someone on the brink of dieing and you can't help.... i know i sound like i am just rambling on about nothing but its something thats been driving me craZy. I guess all i can do is pray! Well thats probably the best thing i can do :)
MOVING ON
My best friend is going on vacation this Saturday, she will be gone for a week or so and i have to take care of all their fantastic animals while their gone. LOL that should be fun. It will give me something to do while she is gone i guess :) On Sunday i got 2 surprises, 1~ My oldest brother Shawn just showed up to hang out for the day. Its not normal for him just to show up given he lives in Memphis ;) So it was good seeing him & 2~ Tyler showed up at church. Yep Yep it was a fun filled day thats for sure. Well i am going to go write a paper :)

And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home...

Moving On,
So nothing much has happened with me since my last post. Other then getting my braces tightened, working with my mom.. oh yeah and getting to go to youth-group, nothing has changed!! :)
I am taking no change as a good thing b/c the last time i had change, it wasn't to swell!!
But i am making it through.

Does time seem to fly, i mean its like just yesterday i was starting to ride a horse, i can still remember my first day at BHSE like it was 10 seconds ago. Its so weird..... IDK.... i just wish time would SLOW down, way down!! if only there was a shooting star, i could make a wish!! Oh, maybe i should stay outside tell i see a shooting star and make a wish!! I know just what i would wish for!!! :) Maybe i will go do that!!

Bye Bye

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
