Profound Words

So sometimes people say things that make me speechless. Like today my sister said, "People who live their life in fear seem to accomplish nothing." I thought about it and it hit me that she's right if we're scared of doing things or making choices or even of what happens next in our life (etc). If we're so scared of those things then how can we really have trust in God. He controls everything. So if we trust God more and trust Him to take care of us and give us what's best for us then we can accomplish what He has predestined us to do without fear. So I guess what she was trying to say was don'tet fear take over your life.

Paint,paint, and more paint?

So today we painted our play house a red/brown color. We had ALOT of fun. Paint on everyone's faces,legs, and arms. So after we finished we went to hose down everything (and everyone). That was part was interesting; a five year and a seven year old around a hose, and paint, gets everyone wet. So after that I took them inside and gave them a bath while my sister discovered paint all over the bathroom counter and tile wall. Ahhh, classic sibling relaxation and fun (check); cleanup (still working on it).

End of the school year!!!!

End of the year- stressful, busy, chaotic, totally awesome, wish it was over, can't wait till next year, why school? HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!! That point at the end of the year where you're starting to wish that you were already to summer. That's where I am now. But it's soooo worth it. High school is near!!!

All those things we want

You know all of those things that we want and we say that we HAVE to have to be happy? Well, I was thinking about this the other day and I came to the conclusion that we only want those because other people have them and to use them as excuses. Excuses such as: "I feel bad because I feel left out because I don't have that phone". When really you have just use that phone as an excuse for your bad mood. Why are you in a bad mood? Because we have put worldly things before God.
We can't trust our feelings and we can't let them manipulate what we do, say, and how we act. When we do that we make excuses that have nothing to do with te real problem. We can't put things before God. Nothing should distract us from our point in life of glorifying God.

Best Friends? Simple?

Most people say that once you have a best friend you don't have to work at your relationship and that that person will always be there for you no matter what. Well that person will always be there for you if you work at your relationship. You can't just make a good friend and then blow that person off. Best friends are something that come very rarely. They are "peculiar treasures". You don't just find them at every street corner.
I have about three good friends and I am very privileged tho have them. I was used to having everyone as my friend but as I get older that becomes harder. My "peculiar treasures" of friends are some very special girls that I am quite thankful for.
Best friends and your relationship with them can't be blown off and ignored. Work hard to keep those "peculiar treasures" so that they will be there for you no matter what.
Best friends are hard to come by and finding one isn't so small and easy. Friendships take time, effort, and perseverance.  Best friends- no simple thing.
  

Friendship? Small?

I have realized that people don't really care what about what they say to people because they're always like, "That person is my friend. They don't really care what what I say to them. They know I'm joking".  You can't say that and you really can't think that no matter what you say to a person they are always going to be your friend.

"Sticks and stones can break my bones

      but words can never hurt me."

Do people really believe that because from past experience that doesn't seem as true as it did when I was three.  So please think before you speak.

So as you can see, anything that you say that you don't really think is hurtful but is can ruin a friendship.

"Small Happenings"

Today in history class we watched a video on how the Revolutionary War got started. When we got home we had to write up an answer to a question that out teacher gave us. The question was, 'The producers of America: Story of Us, named the first episode "Rebels". It is easy to understand why they would include people such as John Hancock, but why would they include the early colonists of Jamestown and Plymouth in this episode?' One of my classmates said this, "...you can't just include the main things in history, you have to include all of them even the minor things that happened." So where would we be if the "minor" things didn't happen?
