style clone

so here's something i find interesting. I dress like a bohemian kinda person. that's my style, and i think it works for me. however, as of recent times, the clothing industry of America decided to steal my style, mass produce it, and then mass market it as the new "in" thing to wear. so now, it is no longer my style, it is america's style reproduced back to me at a price i can't afford. this seems a bit silly to me.

just leave it alone

i'm finding in my life that i say yes to everything and everyone. i work very very hard to please everyone in my life, and i'm finding that although i love being busy, i get very irritable in this state. much of this comes out on my mother who has good intentions, but puts forth her "why aren't you doing this too" guilt trips in a very irritating manner that make me explode. why don't you volenteer more, why don't you spend more time with the family, i didn't hear you practice piano very long, why did you make that grade. all this to say that i am a busy bee. bees have stingers. as in. when you irritate them by telling them all the things that they should be doing more in their lives, they will sting you . : )

hello there.

my life is super busy. this past year i joined ballet, continued in piano, and debate, and nhs, and stuco, and french club, and national french honor society, joined 2 youth groups, work in the nursery, joined the bowling team, and the winter guard team. and i have learned that i do not posess the ability to say no. haha. but life is wonderful. i'm having new experiences and making friends with people i never would have expected. i also attend a catholic youth group now. it's quite incredible.

lately i've been reading a book, or rather just finished a book by rob bell called velvet elvis. it was an incredibly insightful read and i encourage all who have not read it to do so immediately. literally get in your car and go buy this book. it's the most refreshing take on christianity that i have ever come upon. his viewpoint and his enthusiasm make you remember what made you want to follow God in the first place. it's lovely.

alright well i've got to run to practice, but i promise that i will blog more often. : )

The Funniest Thing I Have Ever Seen.

Change.

Today will be my first sunday at my new church. It's odd, i've gone to Woodlake for almost seventeen years it's justreally weird to leave. I kinda feel like Abraham. God told him to follow him, without even telling him where he was leading him. Now, i did know where i was going location wise, but being a person who fears change i was afraid. The way i would be recieved at Asberry was totally unknown, but i was not afraid because i knew that God would provide for me. Knowing that i am following him has made this so much easier, no less weird, but easier. He's provided friends, securitiy, and a fantastic youth group. I think i'm pretty excited.

Jesus is my friend.
