Lately, ive realized that so many people in this world conform to the ways of "the average teenager".
whether its because its what they see on tv, what they see in their friends, what the see at school, theyre conforming...
Today at church, a friend of mine said
"Why are you so weird?"
I didnt really know what to say...But then i thought about it, and i realized...
Why would i be like this, When i could be like ttthhiiisss???
So yah, i dream big! But if you limit your choices to only what seems possible, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want and all thats left is compromise.
So i dare you to live your life. Be who you are, say what you think, laugh till you cry, love unconditionally, and dance whenever you want to.

Strength, faith, and love through Jesus Christ our savior
He will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; he will give you the strength to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13b
To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.
Hebrews 11:1
God, give me strength through you. Its much needed right now. ♥

A Rainy Day Revelation
This morning as i laid on my bed, staring out the window, I watched the rain fall, and the cars drive by. I felt so sorry for my self. I felt like total crap. I felt like i should cry. "My life sucks" i said to myself. "I cant get the guy i want, i dont have much money, i have family problems, i mess everything up, no body cares about me, my sisters fight all day long, my parents just dont understand me, i cant control my emotions, i feel un-cared for, why am i even here?" When i sat there i started thinking.... What am i talking about? I cant act like this just because im not having a good day. I realized how truly blessed i am... I could be out on the streets in this rain, starving to death, with no where to go and no one to talk to. Yes, i have my problems, but i am truly blessed. Then i sat and thought about how many other things i complain to myself about.... "This water tastes funny..." I said a couple days ago, and didnt drink, simply because it tasted different than normal... Theres thousands, millions, BILLIONS, of people who are dying of thirst, and havent had anything to eat or drink in months. And i complain, because its raining. I complain because we dont have any junk food. i complain because our water simply "Tastes funny"? I realized how self absorbed i had been. how much i was concerned about myself, and how i looked, and what i did and didnt have. And i realized that thats not why God put my on this earth. Im not here to sit around and complain and feel sorry for myself because i dont have everything i want. I definitely have way more than what i need, i have more than most people could ever imagine... i started thinking back to when our exchange student, Sasha, from belarus came and stayed with us for a summer, and simple things that i overlooked, like ceiling fans and flash lights, where luxury items to him. The fact that more than half of the children there were born with deformities or cancer, because of the radiation plant explosion decades ago. The fact that in his culture, they arent allowed to be christians, but he chose to be one anyways, and he doesnt even hide his faith, he wears a cross around his neck at all times. God gave me a chance to freely worship him, and safe place to share it, and Sasha, who lived somewhere he could be persecuted for his beliefs, was a stronger believer than i am. God gave me all that i had, not so i could live in luxury, but so that i can share it with people who need it more than i do. God didnt give me all i have so i could go to the mall and blow money on things i truly dont need, but that i can give it to people who need food, water, clothes, and even shelter. I wasnt put on this earth "by chance" i was put here, by God, to make a difference, and to change peoples lives. to share gods word, and to worship him fully. God didnt put me here to sit and complain. i was put here to do his will. and its about time i start doing that.

Lessons Learned From Crayons
Today, Ive been in a super "deep" mood, everything means something to me. I was coloring with my crayons, and i started thinking... Crayons can be compared to so much in life. Some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some are bright, and some have weird names. We need to stop counting our crayons, and just draw pictures, using our whole box of crayons. Really, your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. If only the armies could take this into mind... Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination... the world would be a better place if people could just realize... life and crayons have a lot in common.

Winter Jam 2011 ♥
Just got home from Winter Jam 2011... BEST. CONCERT. EVER. It was AHH-FREAKING-MAZING!
Here is an outline of my day....
At 2pm we started waiting in line with the huuuuge crowd.
during that time we screamed, cheered, played uno, ate chipotle, did pretty much anything to keep ourselves entertained.
When they opened the doors at 5pm (i believe...), being towards the front of the line, we were one of the first groups in the door. Now, finding good seating for 16 people in a rushing crowd is rather difficult, and paying only 10 bucks, i wasn't going to complain. so we were about half way up the middle half of the stadium, which were rather good seats, considering there was people sitting BEHIND the stage, and did i mention that there was fabric covering the whole back of the stage... so those people couldnt even see!
So we were in the center of 105 :)
The concert itself didnt start till 6pm (i believe... once i again, i dont really remember times) and so we decided to go ahead and get dinner, so we wouldnt have to miss anything later. so we started walking through the sprint center. We all figured like 5 bucks for dinner... just a cheese burger or something. So we walk up to the first vendor, a pizza place. EIGHT DOLLARS FOR A SINGLE SLICE OF PIZZA. EIGHT DOLLARS. ARE PEOPLE INSANE??? So then we started talking to people and they said there was a quick trip in the sprint center, so we were at the exit of seating 105 and started walking ----> way. So we kept walking and kept walking, and we still couldnt find QT, so we gave up, we figured we would just go back to our seats, and when we get to seating area 103, quicktrip was RIGHT there. now i know we sound stupid, but the sprint center is HUUUGE! like 50 football fields! atleast! So we got our 3.99 turkey and swiss sandwiches and blue raspberry slushies :) De-lish ♥ So we ate, then went to sit down for the preshow.
For the pre-show, jason castro performed. now i was that girl that ALWAYS made fun of him. ALWAYS. But i must say, he sounded wayyy better live, or maybe just better than i remembered...
After that, performances went for a long long time. greaaat music.
So then at about 8pm (if i remember right) they had intermission. So me and 3 of the girls walked out into the hall, lounge whatever you wanna call it, and we saw jason castro signing autographs, so we got in line. while waiting in line, i saw a guy who i recognized as RJ-52! so i was super excited, i liked him WAYY more than jason, and so i was trying to convince my friends it was actually him! so he was walking by us, and he had the all access pass and everything!
so he came over to us and said "how are you girls doing?"
And i said "are you KJ-52!!?"
He said "yupp :)"
I said "can i have your autograph?"
He said "of course!"
Then when he finished doing the autograph he said "do you want a picture too?"
i said "uh huhh :)"
then he said, thanks you guys, i love the fans! then he hugged meeeee =))))))))))))
So... i feel really awkward, i just remembered that KJ-52 is white................... o_0 ummm.... that wasnt.... him..... WHO THE HECK WAS THAT....????? now im creeped out.... i feel so.... stupid.... hahaha and the best part is that after we did that, a bunch of other people started doing the same.... now i feel kinda awesome :)
then we got back in line and waited for Jason. So after 27 minutes of line waiting, we were the very next people, and the security guards said "we dont have time to do pictures any more, just autographs." And then they moved the line and we got bumped back like 10 people. but we got our turns, and i kinda got a picture... which ill post later...
BUT heres the ticket with the two signatures....
and i realize i misspelled signature... im just to lazy to fix it.... ;)
So after that we went back to the concert, it finished, and we left.
I saw toooonnnss of amazing people i knew there. Including Emily and Annika :)
So ive just realized that its now close to 12:30 and im exhausted. so goodnight all! dont let the bed bugs bite :)
Love you darlings

It's not about what ive done, but what i can do.
For all my life, especially recently, Ive dwelled on what Ive done in the past. Things i cant change. things im not necessarily PROUD of, but things i cant change. Finally, God has helped me realize that the past is the past. You should learn from it, but move on from things you cant change, because its a waste of your time you have to make a difference in your future. Life isn't about what Ive done, what i should've done, or what i could've done... its about what i can do, and what i will do. My life is about to make a change for the better. I mean, we all make mistakes in life. Its how we handle them that makes us who we are.
We are what we do, not what we did. Now if we continue doing what we used to do, we cant be upset that we are still what we were, simply because we're still doing what we did.
