Funny Pictures

As I was surfing myspace today I came across some pretty funny pictures and thought I would put then on here.

Opposite way.... for best reading, turn up your speakers to hear song while reading the following. ;)

I really love this song right now. I kinda feel like its talking about my life sometimes. I know that sounds really emo, but I don't mean for it too. (I'm actually in a pretty good mood. Its been a good day:) I've been told several times this year to "Just be a kid!". But Honestly, I don't think I know how to. What does it mean to be a kid anyways? I guess it means to not worry about adult things, like money and things like that. I don't worry about money, in fact, I think I have a pretty good handle on it...I think. (the way I approach it, not my ability to save it or spend it. ha) Its just money. While its important to use it wisely, its also important to not let it control your life and the way you treat others. If you have it, good. Spend it wisely. If you don't, don't whine and complain and let the lack of it, take over your life. Trust God. I know your probably thinking that its easy for me to say this, I'm only 16 after all. But in truth, I've had to work for all the money I've every had. And these last few months its been my responsibility to take care of both my mom and I. I have to put gas in my car so my mom can go to work everyday, I have to buy all my own clothes, I have to buy food for us to eat. And the list goes on. But Jesus has been faithful in providing the work for me to do these things. I have a wonderful brother who taught me to be generous. And a wonderful Grandpa who taught him. And above all, I have a holy and righteous savior who has paid the ultimate price, for not only me, but for everyone else on the planet.
I can't even begin to imagine the pain and heartache he went through. It makes me shudder to even try. I guess the moral of the story is, our hearts are all we get to take with us when we leave this earth, so lets try to make them the best we can. Lets not let them be taken over by money, or bitterness or hurt. But instead, give them over to Jesus. After all, it should be a lot easier then what he did for us.

ahahaha

The Weekend. By Anna May, And Beckah Delery. ;)

I spent the weekend house sitting with Anna (and mom ;). Here is the documentary of the weekend. :D

Planet Earth at night. But somehow I was always the first to fall asleep leaving Anna alone with the sharks and giant sea salamanders. ;) 


Saturday morning. Mom helped me make breakfast. :) I burned everything except the pancakes. (and they were AMAZING ;) 

 
  

After a "run" and a long time in the hot tub we made lunch. I burned the noodles to. (who knew that noodles could burn in water?)  

Anna's amazing cookies! They quickly dwindled away. 

And I kept everyone warm.....for the most part. ;) 

Fool's Gold. Great movie. :) Even though I'm pretty sure I was bringing wood in for most of the movie and Anna was on the computer....;) 

Sunday, Wives and Daughters with the May fam. :) (thats when all the cookies dwindled away....haha) 

Me and Anna. :) We have great times together. ;) 

And that was the weekend. For the most part. I didn't take as many pictures as Anna did. :( 

*sigh*

I miss my brother. :( 

But I'm really proud of him. :) And happy for him. 

I hope I can be as awesome as he is someday. 

I love this book.

This is seriously one of the best kids books ever. 

My two favorite cats

These are two of the coolest cats ever. They just warmed up to me all by them selves. The big one is the only cat I've ever seen have a smile. And the little one just decided to like me one day. haha. These two are always together, and every time they see me, they come running. I'm convinced that the more cats you have, the more personality they get.  ha. :D 
 

My guitar :)

I love my guitar. :) 

Thought for the day

This is my bible. I love the way it looks, I love the way it feels, I love the way it sounds when I turn the pages, and a few other ridiculous things. ;) But more importantly, I LOVE what's inside. It's odd though, even though I love reading it, I can't seem to make myself sit down and  actually do it. Paster Russ once said that if anyone of us ever told him that we "didn't have time" to read our bibles that he would come kick us in the shins. haha! he was kidding of course, but the passion behind the statement was powerful. There is no excuse for why we as Gods children don't spend more time with him. As he continued he also said, "Every relationship is sustained by communication. This applies to all relationships. If you don't talk to a friend for a long time you grow distant, So what makes our relationship with God so different? "

 He's always there to listen and he'll never turn you away; so why is it so hard to keep up our end? I think one of the main reasons is laziness. That, and a serious lack of understanding and comprehension of the grace and love that Jesus gave us when he died on the cross. So what can we do when we feel lazy? How can we maintain our end of the relationship? Tell me what you think! :D 

This song is amazing. If you don't want to listen to the whole thing, then at least listen to the prayer starting at 4:10 near the end.

crazyness

Life has been crazy the last couple of weeks. I've slept in my own bed 5 times in the last 2 1/2 weeks. At first I was staying with my sister in-laws mom for a little over a week to help her take care of her 94 year old dad who has cancer. That's a long story all in it self, one that I don't think I'll go into on the Internet. ;) Then when I was on my way home to sleep in my own bed for a night or two, I got a call from my brother telling me that the youth leader at church had called and offered to pay for me to go the the youth camp out for the week. So, I did. But while I was there something happened that kinda got me thinking. One of the girls in my small group got a call from her family one night saying that the cancer her brother has been fighting came back. As odd as it sounds, I think I took it harder then anyone else did (besides her of course). I didn't brake down and start crying or anything, but I could have. I couldn't help but think about my brothers when they were talking about hers. I know that probably sounds really selfish, and maybe it was, but while it broke my heart for her and her family, it also broke my heart to even think about something like that happening to my family. I sat there thinking to myself, what would I do if something happened to one of my brothers, how would I handle it? Little did I know that a day later my mom would call me and tell me that my oldest brother had been in a motorcycle accident on his way to work. When I talked to my mom she said that she couldn't get a hold of Ben (who was with me at the camp) and that I needed to find him and tell him what happened. I found Ben and told him what had happened and by 8:00 later that night, we were on our way home. The next day after visiting Simon, mom and I were off to Prinevill to take care of the boys so Mindy could be at the hospital with Simon. So that's where I've been for the last few days. And this is probably where I'll be staying for a while....But, I wouldn't have it any other way. :) Life is good.

tired....

Nothing seems to make sense when your tired. I can't spell, I can't type, I can't even talk straight! The days seem to just roll into each other. And before you know it, yesterday seems like a year ago. I'm starting to understand why people who go with out sleep seem like their crazy. ha!......zzzZZzzzzZzzzZzzaaa...oops.

today

Today one of my best friends got married. I've been thinking lately how awesome it is that we became such good friends. I won't get into the reasons why this is so funny, but I will say our families are somewhat divided. And you would think that we would be too, but like I said in my last blog, we always find some way to joke about it. The last week was kinda sucky because I didn't really get to talk to her at all, but I feel kind of selfish saying that seeing as how the week before a person gets married is really busy and stressful I suppose (having no experience myself ;). But I did get to talk to her a little at the wedding (which I didn't think i would get to). So here I am, listening to blink 182 (which always make me think of her, haha) writing this blog even though I should be packing. I will say though before I go, that its really hard to have someone who you've had so many good times with and who has been (and still is!) one of your best friends, move away. *tear* Come to think of it, I have more memories with her then any other friend I have. But, we'll have more in the future. :) I just have to be patient. I hate waiting. haha.
