August.

Sigh.
I've been gone all this summer practically and school seems like its almost here...why? BECAUSE ITS LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AWAY!
This is maddness.
Just came back from New York City with Ashley (we stayed at my Aunt and Uncle's house), and it was a BLAST. Though, I do want to come during Christmas time to see all the Christmas-y things like the ice skating rink, sleigh rides through the snow falling, etc, etc.
I recently forgot about my blog and I saw my friend's post about some jerk.
I want to her read this: FORGET HIM!!!!! the kid is a no-good-son-of-a-gun-bum-who-just-got-a-girlfriend.
I've known this kid for quite some time, and all he's done to her is what a guy shouldn't do! he's late, doesn't text her back, makes up lame excuses, and she has EVERY RIGHT TO BE PISSED AT HIM. and yet he just got a girlfriend. blahhhhh (sorry girl, i had to say it)
He just makes me mad of what I hear about him! AFRJDKLFJKDLFJ: = my frustration towards him.

Anyways,
I gotta do some chores. (even though i just got back today) BLAH.

some jams to jam...or dance...if you CAN dance...unlike me...

July, what a wonderful month

This past week I went to The Master's Inn, in Virginia, and its a completely life-changing camp. The things you do there reflect what you should do EVERY DAY, like doing morning devotionals (devos), praying before eating, and glorifying God through whatever actions you do.
God spoke to me and SO MANY people and specifically for me, its how i act.










Another thing that happened, was that I went to Eagle Butte, South Dakota and helped out a VBS for the Lakota kids. Going there makes you realize that even though you thought you had it bad, they have it 10 times worse. 
80 % of the kids I met have been abused in some way shape or form. The kids I had were 7 years old. You could see the love and attention these kids NEED and STRIVE for. I went the first day to pick up kids for a block party and one gets on the bus and sits on my lap. I've never seen the kid before, but as soon as she saw the van that had the church's name on it, she felt SAFE. Most kids there never feel that and that's why its such a bad place. I met so many drunks outside the gates of the church, and whats even sadder is driving through the town seeing these places where these adorable, lovable kids live and you wonder how they do it. How can this 5 year old or 9 year old live in a house with 15 people and have no drawers? One girl spent the night at a very good friend's house (a couple who are pretty rich and live 45 away) and she slept in the dark for the FIRST TIME. The poor girl is 8 or 10! She's so used to cockroaches while she sleeps that it freaked her out to sleep in the dark.
But these kids need God in their life and they will end up as the stereotypical Indian: drunk.
The Lakota Sioux need Satan out of their town, and I pray that Little white church will impact them more than anything.

Also, right now I'm at the beach, ooh man I got a TERRIBLE burn, (everyone says its because I'm a ginger...) BOO THEM! I love the saltwater breeze, sand, and sound of waves crashing! Its the good life.
God has blessed me soo much its unbelievable! 

thats my update.

What If?

""What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if?" Quote from Letters to Juliet. But it rings so true! What is the color of your hair? If only I had a car...
But...
What if I said hello?
What if I sat next to them?
What if I texted them saying how I feel?


They are haunting.
You never know what would of happened. So next time, do it and look back saying, Wow. I know what the what if is. Today I read a story where a guy wondered if he and this girl would go far. So he got the guts to ask her out. Turns out she was dating someone else. BUT he walked away finally not wondering what if?....


So....my advice? Do atleast 1 thing everyday that you would be scared to do. Then you don't have to look back and say what if?







&& I have a new obsession! Well, I wouldn't put it that harshly, but ever since watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch (the movie), The Proposal, and School of Life, I am amazed of what RYAN REYNOLDS can do with a script. And since he's such a funny guy, I'm "obsessed" with him! Hahahaha

Ahh! School's out! I'm completely done with all I had to learn. UGH.


Now SUMMER 2011 is rolling in and I'm pretty stoked about this summer! I'll be going to South Dakota to help out an Native American tribe, then a summer camp, then the beach with my best friend and IM GOING TO NEW YORK BABY!
I've never been in the city or big apple, as people may say and I'm SOO EXCITED! I'm doing it for a summer assignment but hey I'm alright with that! 
Its really late now and I need to go to bed so I'll probably post later tomorrow! I'm hoping I can go play tennis! AHH IM EXCITED!


SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER!

Beautiful people/my week

What is being "beautiful" mean? Well people says things like, looking great, in anyway possible or in an unique way. 
Here's dictionary.com's version: 
Beautiful:
1.
having beauty;  having qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc.; delighting the senses or mind: a beautiful dress; a beautiful speech.
2.
excellent of its kind: a beautiful putt on the seventh hole;The chef served us a beautiful roast of beef.
3.
wonderful; very pleasing or satisfying.

Good to know eh? Well I feel terrible for all those girls who feel ugly, just because of society's look on beauty. BUT in terms of this, ANY GIRL ANYWHERE IS! Society's opinion can go die in a hole. Haha 
No girl should feel so worthless of her self image to resort to such horrible things, such as eating disorders, hurting, and just going into a depression. I felt compelled to write this because I hear on the monitor that we have in our house about these kids out here who either "attempted suicide" or "ODed" about EVERY DAY. Thats no way to live.
Thats why I want to help kids, and especially those in social care. Social workers get a bad reputation for taking kids away from their parents, who cannot help them. But as one I want to go to the extra mile to help the parents get back on their feet and get their kids back. Nothing is more tragic than loosing your own baby girl or baby boy just because of some stupid mistakes.


Also, to keep you updated in my life, I'm working (which feels like all the time) but some people need to chill when they're at the checkout! I never realized but some just need to do the self checkouts so that innocent cashiers like me don't get spoken to in such a harsh way. Its not my fault the watermelon rolled. Its not my fault I have to ask you about donating. And one thing is donating a dollar for a purchase isn't so bad, unless you've done it like 5 times, then thats okay. But seriously people, KIDS NEED HELP OUT THERE. and you guys in your fancy cars and houses and high dollar jobs cant just donate a stickin dollar? What has America come to?
