Good Luck Wishes

Well everyone I'm going on a school trip tomorrow to Abilene to compete at the TCSIT. Also known as the Texas Christian Schools Interscholastic Tournament. There are a wide variety of competition choices. You pick your best subject whether it be math or science all the way down to giving speeches and duet acting. It has been so much fun preparing for the events. I am in bible knowledge (a multiple choice test over Genesis), bible improvisation (acting from the bible with a group of people), ready writing (timed prompt writing), and comprehensive math. I can't wait. So, as you can guess I won't be able to blog for you for a couple of days. But I will be back Sunday ready to write so more. Wish my school and I good luck.

Puppy Love

When Taylor swift wrote the song "Fifteen" she couldn't have spoken to my little teenage heart more. It speaks the truth to how gullible you are when you first start liking guys. Here's most of the lyrics:

. You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors It´s the morning of your very first day You say hi to your friends you ain´t seen in a while Try and stay out of everybodys way It´s your freshman year and you´re gonna be here For the next four years in this town Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say You know I haven´t seen you around... before

CHORUS:
Cause when you´re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You´re gonna believe them And when you´re fifteen Feeling like there's nothing to figure out Well count to ten, take it in This is life before you know who you´re gonna be... Fifteen

You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail And soon enough you´re best friends Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool Well be out of here as soon as we can And then you´re on your very first date and hes got a car And you´re feeling like flying And you´re momma's waiting up and you think hes the one And you´re dancing round your room when the night end When the night ends

When all you wanted was to be wanted Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now... Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday But I realized some bigger dreams of mine And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy Who changed his mind and we both cried

Though I'm not fifteen I can totally relate to it. I'm pretty sure some of you girls out there relate to it. Some of my friends inlcuding me are going through puppy love right now. It's an amazing feeling knowing that there's someone out there that treats you like a queen, wants to talk to you everytime they get a chance, or looks at you like you're a golden treasure. But just remember to be careful and always keep your friends and family close by your side because when that puppy love ends you always need someone there behind you to catch you when you fall.

Saying Yes!

Today at church, one of the ministry candidates preached their first sermon. It was very touching for many people in the room. Mr. Risher preached about saying yes to the purpose God sent you here to accomplish. He said stopping listening to the devil because he is just pulling you down preventing you from showing your greatness. This really hit many people's hearts including mine. At the end, when my dad came up to do the opening prayer, he asked for those who wanted, to come up on stage and say yes to God's plan for their lives. Tons of people began walking on stage. I stood wanting to go but something kept pulling me back. It was as if my feet were glued to the ground. I looked on the stage to see if maybe there was just one small spot left for me. So that I too may say yes to what God has in store for me. Finally, my feet were loosened and whatever was keeping me in chains let go. I walked up to the stage and tears began rolling down my cheeks. I walked to my dad where his loving arms were ready to embrace me. It was one of the most empowering moments of my life. I knew I had taken a big step in my Christian faith. I had said YES to the amazing plan God has set for me. Now I am telling you my story. Make a story of your own. Say yes to God and see how me moves you.

Spring Fever

Tomorrow is the last day of school, before Spring Break starts! I am so excited. This is probably one of my favorite times of the year. The sun is out, bright clothes are back in, and swimming is back also! This year my family has decided to go to Austin and stay at this amazing resort. We are leaving Monday and once we arrive we are heading straight to Sea World. I am pretty sure we are also going to stop at an all time favorite restaurant, "The Boiling Pot". "The Boiling Pot" is perhaps the best steamed seafood restaurant in the world. Yea...I am ready for a break. But, I still have one more day of school. This day is going to be filled with two tests, and a lazy school body. My mom likes to call it "Spring Fever". The time when everyone is lackadaisical and wanting to do something fun. But, hey! School is fun...right?

A Decision Made

A couple of weeks ago, my friends Nandi, Alexia decided to tryout for the cheerleading team at Westbury Christian School. They of course, dragged me along and I signed up too. But, deep inside I knew cheerleading wasn't my "thing". I am more of a track runner and a somewhat of a volleyball player. When it comes to cheer, I can show great team spirit and my jumps are pretty decent but when it comes to gymnastics.....well....I stink!!! Between you and me, I can't even do a cartwheel! Nandi promised she would teach me how and I believed her. Tryouts have been going great to tell the truth and I believe I have a pretty good chance of making the team. But, it just hit me!! Am I really going to be benifited by being a cheerleader? Am I doing it because I like it or because my friends do? I prayed about it last night and today during tryouts I came up with a decision. I am going to stick to being me. I am not a cheerleader. I am not going to put myself in an umcomfortable position to make those around me happy. Tomorrow, I have to tell Alexia and Nandi sorry. I have made a decision that I am going to keep.
