I know i have updated 2 times in 1 day! but today has become one of those days where you just want to get in your bed with a bucket of ice-cream and cry! Sad i know. Anyways just need ya'lls prayers thanks

Whats up my people??? Not to much has changed around here. But i have a question, it might sound stupid or it might be smart ( the odds of me saying something smart are very very slim ) But i was wondering if serving God your supposed to go out of your comfort zone or God will use the talents you already have. B/c i like being behind the stage making the show happen, instead of being ON stage and being the show. I can't seem to find any ways to serve God in, where i dont have to be on stage or getting noticed. I don't know maybe i'm just being stupid.... i was just wondering!

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you

face trials of many kinds, because you know that

the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

Perseverance must finish its work so that you may

be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who

gives generously to all without finding fault, and it

will be given to him. But when he asks,

he must believe and not doubt........

But i can't wait to get away for a while so i'll wake up at anytime!!!!! As i just told you i am leaving as the sun will be rising SO i wont be on for a while :P Have a FANTASTIC week and i'll talk to you niffty people later :) 

I was reading this FANTASTIC book and
something I thought was really cool jumped out at me so I figure why not put it on here.

To make a long story short there were these magnificent woods with oak trees the size of the pillars on the White House *enormous*. And this little girl loved ridding her horse through there, it was kinda like her Never-Land. A place where she didn’t have to grow up, she could forget about her past and just have fun. But one day a firestorm ripped through her Never Land, her hiding place, her fare away land that no one could find. She was to afraid to go back and see what was left, but when the day came that she felt that she had enough courage to see her lost Never Land and her not so much hiding place. She was devastated to see that all that was left was black ash. What once was colorful, shaded by huge oak trees was now just lifeless ash. As she fell on her knees she sobbed "JESUS, this is just like my life!" she looked all around only to find black and lifeless things. Her sobbing was gone and all that remind was silent tears falling from her face, and that’s when something pink caught her eye. When she moved closer she saw it was a tiny pink wonder. It was a little plant that had risen from the ash, defying all odds and daring enough to bloom in this world of black. Then the little girl heard within her heart the unmistakable voice of the One who had knelt beside her many years before "You Are Right, Child–This is Just Like Your Life. You See, I Have Raised You Out Of The Ashes"

A childhood event that should have destroyed that little girls life instead by the loving hand of Jesus gave her life.

Hey my fantastic people :)

I Love This Song :P

"Me and Charlie boy used to go walking
Sittin in the woods behind my house
When bein lovers meant a stolen kiss
And holding hands with nobody else around
Charlie said he wanted to get married
But we were only ten so we’d have to wait
He said we’d never let our love run dry
Like so many do these days

So we treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar
With holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin
That’s just me and Charlie talking

Charlie always said he’d like to leave here
So he turned 18 and left our sleepy town
Letters came and went and I kept waiting
For Charlie to come back
And bring the life he’d found
Funny how time and distance change you
The road you take
Don’t always lead you home
You can start a love with good intentions
And you look up and it’s gone

So we treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar
With holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin
That’s just me and Charlie talking

Now and then I sometimes think of Charlie
How we thought we knew it all back then
Now I’d give anything to feel love
From a child’s heart again

So we treat our love like a firefly
Like it only gets to shine for a little while
Catch it in a mason jar
With holes in the top
And run like hell to show it off
Oh promises we made when we’d go walkin
That’s just me and Charlie
Me and Charlie talking"

I understand my mom loves me and all. But why do parents ( or in my case parent ) have to be so... how should i word it so it doesn't sound bad... Uptight? I mean every little thing i do, she thinks i am doing something wrong. For instance, if i'm on the computer or talking on the phone SHE FREAKS OUT "who are you talking to" "what are you talking about" "do i know this person" "why are you talking to them"????? OMGosh why not for once trust me and let me live a little. Because if she keeps it up the way its going now, when i can drive i will never be home! I will be out finding something ( not bad ) to do, just so i dont have to be home.

I know the next few months are going to be... how should i say.... Bitter-Sweet. More Bitter than Sweet but i'm used to that. Anyways I am just so tired of all this! I want for once to be happy, forget about my past. The only time i forget about my past and just live, is when i am on my horse running as fast as she can run through open planes and woods. Unfortunately i can't be on my horse 24-7.

Something Happy :) I am home alone for a little while and i got nothing to worry about ( at the moment ) BLAH! Suppose i'll talk to you people later

Work it Carmen :P

Tamarra and Carmen :)

Tamarra and I

Tamarra eating my FAV candy

LOL nice Carmen nice

Me and Carmen
It was a fun night

Whats up my people :)
So the past week has been *how should i put it* Intrusting! Yeah thats the word i was looking for. Anyway, it has been VERY intrusting, lots happening, lots changing! But i'm making it :) like always! The horse camp that i have been helping out with is going 2 more weeks! I suppose thats *Fantastic* but my arm has been hurting and i'm not so sure working with horses is going to be such a good idea. But we'll see what happenss now wont me.

I am pretty much out of school. My mom wants to look over all that i have done to see if i need to do Math all summer * i am hoping i dont have to but who knows * i am pretty sure i am behind :(
Moving On
Not much has changed, not a Life chang * many many little things have changed * but no Life changes!! I'm cool with that though.

Girls are like on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along. The one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

OK, i'm not so sure about this NEW PhuseBox! Its kinda confusing, but i get confused really easy so hey it might just be me :) Anyways its kinda confusing but i'll work it out! :P

So today was *ok* for me. I hung out with Libby W. ( you probably dont know her but who cares ) I took pitcures the whole time but it was fun :P Nothing much is different, and i am ok with that! The last time something changed it was horrible, so i hope nothing changes anytime soon and if it does i am hoping it is good. I have to help with that horse-camp again this week. I suppose it will be fun, it gives me something to do AND i get to ride my baby so thats FANTASTIC :)

Question, Say you had something so fantastic that you said you wouldn't let this one go, yet in the end it is taken away. And theres nothing you can do about it, how do you deal? I mean i try so heard but Gods got a cruel since of hummer, because i can't go one da-gum day with out being reminded of what i am losing. I dont know * thats just it I DONT KNOW * but i am asking you how would you deal if that was happening to you? 

LOL this is a random picture :P Lane took it as i was running to look at a really weird looking tree :) Oh all the random things that happen when Lane and i get together.
Moving On

So its another Fridaynight that i am sitting alone on the computer. Another time i wish i was doing something with my friends. But this time i am on my sisters Lap-Top and i am in my room listening to Odyssey's. Oh how my life is so fun.

Oh yeah i didn't fail my test in Physical Science, i got an 88 ( that would be a B ) Its not what i was hoping for, but its better than an F! So i'll take it.

I am oh so confused. I know it seems like everyone is saying that, but i am really and truly confused. Most of my friends are also confused! The devil is getting better at confusing people and its getting harder for me ( i'm not sure about how my friends are doing with it ) but i am so so so so confused! I am so tired of complaning! I'm so tired of feeling down! SO i have decided to change the way i feel. No one can make me feel anything i make myself feel the way i feel so i am going to make all my negative into posative.
 
I am so tired, i have been working all week on a Horse-Camp that Lane has going on. I am pretty much working to pay for my horses feed. Something posative about the whole Horse-Camp thing, it is helping my mom and i am getting to hang out with my friends and ride my baby ( Kate ).
* ok well my brother is kicking me off the computer just b/c he HAS to get on XBOX-LIVE! Grrr little kid he drives me craZy! *

If You Love Something Enough Let It Go....
If It Comes Back It Is Yours.....
If It Doesn't, It Was Never Yours.....

                             
                             Set Me Free
It hasn't always been this way
I remember brighter days
Before the dark ones came
Stole my mind
Wrapped my soul in chains

Now I live among the dead
Fighting voices in my head
Hoping someone hears me crying in the night
And carries me away

Chorus:
Set me free of the chains holding me
Is anybody out there hearing me?
Set me free

Morning breaks another day
Finds me crying in the rain
All alone with my demons I am
Who is this man that comes my way?
The darks ones shriek
They scream His name
Is this the One they say will set the captives free?
Jesus, rescue me

Chorus

As the God man passes by
He looks straight through my eyes
And darkness cannot hide

Chorus 2:
Do you want to be free?
Lift your chains
I hold the key
All Power on Heaven and earth belong to me
(Repeat)

You are free
You are free
You are free

It was such a good day..... up to a few hours ago! A lot is going on and i just pretty much broke down! I dont cry and i think all of you know that, but i cryed! ;( I need all the prayers i can get right now! Thanks

Random paper i wrote... so i put it on here :P lol i am bored     

                                     Race Against Time
There is always a race against time. Your ether trying to get somewhere or your thinking of the events that you have to pack into a 13 hour day. 
     My question is why are we racing time? Time is not something to be afraid of, more along the lines of exciting. We get to live as long as God wants us to and in that time we get to fulfill all the things that He has planed. I see so many people rushing from one place to another just to get a few things picked up and dropped off. 
     For instance Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, not worrying about what time it is or where you have to be. But do you see soccer mom, baseball dads, working parents and teens resting and not looking at their watch very 10 minutes? No. You see them running from one game to another or trying to keep their boss happy and hoping their watch is 10 minutes slow. Shouldn't we all remember what rest is and forget about our watches, not only resting and forgetting about that stupid little thing on our wrest ticking the time away, but also family time. Yeah your kids are going to have things that they are going to want to do and that's great, but shouldn't you still get together at the dinner table and talk. Not "Hi how you are doing" kind of talk, that's what you say to someone you pass by while your rushing through your day and you don't have time to talk. But sit down and listen to one another.
Time isn't something we should run from or race with. Time is something to be cherished and remembered, not lost and forgotten.

There might not be enough time for you to get done what you want to get done, but there is plenty of time for you to get done what God wants you to get done.
                                           
                                          

So, the Sounds Game Fridaynight was fun, kinda cold but fun. I eat a lot of food :P and took a bunch of pictures, well till the cameras batters died on me :( it was sad!
