I'm back
Hey Blog!
Updates in general- In case you were wondering I am still alive. I thought I would post on here and talk about my life recently. Yay for updates. Sometimes I feel like this is my diary. And probably just as neglected. As you may have guessed my life has been rather busy lately. I am in my second semester at Lambton College for Hairstyling. LOVING IT! Working 3 days a week over 8 hr shifts. ALSO LOVING IT! Oh and I'm super blonde now. Yippee! The hairstylist finally has colored hair, who'da thunk it. I have also been blessed with a new group or friends at my C and C group. This gives me something to look forward to after my two days of school. It's been a great experience getting to know all of them and I'm hoping to know them all better in the future. So life is so good. I feel great about where my life is going and I am looking forward to future events. Those are all the things happening in my world. My next blog will be more interesting ;) But as for right now I'm just going through life one step at a time, keepingmy head high, and a smile on my face. :)

Positives
Dear Blog,
I'm not going to apologize for not writing in a while because frankly, I don't think you care. SO, I need to post this to remind myself of the positives of this summer because right about now I'm feeling rather down. Camera taken away from me until exam is over and working at a job I don't get paid for... and many many more things weighing me down. So I need to cheer myself up a little bit.
-Positives-
1) I am going to school in the fall (if GED goes well) to do what I love and be trained by the best in the business! Also I am already making friends with my co-workers who are all super nice.
2) Even though I am working really hard and giving up my summer, I get to watch my friend rise up above all the others who tore her down. Nancy rocks my socks and she deserves all kindness she gets!
3) I have a wonderful POOL! This heat everyones complaining about I am enjoying with my awesome pool.
4) I have such wonderful friends who never stop making me laugh. Both at youth group and at rehearsals. I love seeing your faces every day/week.
5) I've had the pleasure of watching my friend Leah's dreams come true. (seeing Taylor Swift in concert) As jealous as I am, lol I know she deserves it more then anyone else.
6) I have discovered how much I love small towns like Petrolia. Everyone is just so kind. They all greet you with a smile. They never turn you away if you have posters/flyers for them to hang up or display. Then when your little sister loses her purse at the Tim Horton they still have it when you come back after 2 hrs.
7) My friend Kyle is such a gentlemen that he always opens my doors, along with every other girl in the cast. And today he agreed to be my first male model ever. He will be making his appearence in the "Vintage" shoot. SO EXCITED!
8) My mom got me 2 cds. The new Owl City and Seventh Day Slumber. Now I have new godly tunes for my car to listen to. Such a blessing!
9) Our garage/bake sale and car wash last weekend was a smash hit! Make tons of money and it was such a success. I also got to hang out with my Taylor Swift buddy John! We listened to Tswift while waiting for people to come by the bake sale table.
10) My friend Sara is finally recovered from her surgery and is back to her normal self! I have missed her so much. Now her, her sister, Holly, and I are planning ourselves a trip to the movies to see "winnie the pooh" and all dress as our fav characters. Ya, you won't meet many people this awesome in your lifetime.
11) Health, for me and my loves ones
12) God gave me a fantastic family! He also was kind enough to give me an awesome sister that makes me laugh at even the worst of times. Even though she's still so young, she's mature beyond her years. Holly is my bestie of all time and I wuv her. I am so grateful that she's in my life to keep me sane, to listen to me rant, to make me laugh when I'm about to cry, and to just be someone who's always there for me. I can't thank God enough for my little sister.
My whole world is filled with so many blessings. Some days I just get so overwhelmed with all the negatives in life that I forget about the positives. Then I start acting like a retarded depressed teenager and nobody (especially me) wants that. I really needed to write some down to remind myself of how good I have it. And considering its 1 in the morning that old saying really comes to mind....
Try it... it works! ;)

Bible or Fiction
When I was around 14 years old, I was introduced to a book called Twilight. This book along with it's saga buddies has now moved on to major motion pictures and you would have to live in a cave in Siberia to not know what it is. Back then however I thought I had discovered a diamond in the rough. These books had me hooked like no other I had ever read. Whenever I was reading, it would take a whole lot to tear me away. If someone did manage to steal my attention for the time being I would be so excited to get back into my comfy chair in my room to read some more. Within a year I had proceeded to read Twilight 6 times. That's right. 6 times. By now of course I know basically all there is to know about Twilight. I kicked butt on any trivia quizzes on this book. Nobody would surprise me with a fact that they knew. When in a sea of people I heard the words; "twilight", "Edward and Bella", or "vampires that sparkle?" I would instantly perk up and try to join the conversation. We would then proceed to argue over who was better for Bella. Mr. Edward Perfection Cullen, or Jacob Biceps Black. And I would show off all my "knows". I was a total stereotypical Twihard Twilighter. (I don't really like twilight anymore... movies ruined it for me :P)
This all got me thinking. What would it be like to read the Bible the way I used to read Twilight. To look forward to any spare moment I had just to get back to my room and read it. To rock Bible trivia. To know the Bible so well that nothing someone told me would surprise me. To have read the Bible countless times but still experience it in a new exciting way every time. When I am in a group of people and hear the words; "Jesus", "God", or "The Bible", that I would instantly need to get into that group and just talk about God's Word. I hope that someday I can be that intimate with God. That I could be a die hard fan of Jesus Christ.

...Some Days...
Some Days;
-I wish I had wings, so I could fly like a bird... one of the reasons I love the Maximum Ride book series.
-I can't get that person out of my head
-It's humid and I don't like it.
-It's hard to be friends with someone.
-I get uncontrollable chocolate cravings.
-I am a creep
-Money doesn't want to stick around.
-I'm confused about life
-The term "be careful what you wish for" has never applied so well.
-People annoy me
-I am so grateful that I have a pool
-I love my dog so much
-Songs get stuck in my head and I can't get them out no matter how hard I try
-God feels so real to me.
-All I want to do is curl up in a blanket and read all day long.
-I throw my phone across the room... I have many reasons for this.
-I wonder if my prince charming will ever find me?
-I like to lie out in the sun and do absolutely NOTHING!
-I just wanna skip ahead to days that I am looking forward to.
-I spend way to much time on social networks.
-Music has my unexplainable emotions completely figured out
-All I want to do is cry
But no matter what some days have in store for me, I know that God is in control

When You're In Love
Oh God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and make me thirsty for more. I am painfully consious of my need for further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. Oh God, the Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.
-"Crazy Love" pg. 99
You my brothers were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to undulge in sinful nature; rather, surve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single comand: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
-Galatians 5:13-14
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in the year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.
-Jeremiah 17:7-8

Discoveries
Some discoveries I made today...
1) I find it hilarious when boys cat call my sister and I when we walk down the street. Also it breaks my heart that my sister is 13 and it's already started.
2) Movies about true stories can be appreciated SO much more then fantasy
3) That it bugs me when people assume I'm a girly girl that can't get her hands dirty. Meanwhile I've been working for my Dad in the oil fields painting, scraping, and cleaning tanks and cutting grass since I was 10.
4) That my sister is a messy painter. I was painting in black, her in blue. By the end of the day I had more blue on me then black... sad story...
5) Sunscreen would have been a good idea,... burn baby burn
6) Never drive home during bus hours, or it'll take you 15 mins to make it down your street to your house.
7) My friends make the cutest couples!!! Congrats Kristen and Matt!!! <3
8) I love pictures. Especially the ones my friends have taken. I waste WAY too much time creeping on other peoples pictures.
9) I am going to miss my friends so much this summer.
10) That I loooooove vacations so much. Pinery from friday to monday this weekend and maybe Cuba in the next month. Ahhhhh! beaches!
11) This song never gets old....
