My hopless habits

I have many habits and they seem to be all hopeless to control. The main one is procrastination. For an example, As of right now it is 9:53 and I have not done an once of homework. No chores, No piano, No shower Nothing. I have sat here and um... watched a movie, read the target ad 6 times, um...texted, blogged and blogged some more. I am hopeless. A very annoying habit is when I am at the grocery store I have a compulsive urge to fix things. Not kidding. Me and Hannah go up and down the isles and find anything and everything that is out of place and have to put it in the correct place. Oh and clearance items well I love them, but I have to buy one of everything. For an example, I was in the checkout isle at Target and well...gum was on clearance. I love gum. So what does a gum-loving girl do? Buys it ALL. That's right I bought one of every flavor because I simply couldn't decide. So if anyone needs gum, let me know.

Seriously I heard that we only have about 36 days left of school! That is insane!! I feel like I just took my semester finals and now I have to take them again in about a month! I guess I better start studying now. Well that's exciting. Don't get me wrong I am super excited about summer it is just that were did the time go? I feel like I have done nothing productive this whole year!

Let's Run Through the Rain

Here is a poem I found, I thought it fit my blog title well so I thought maybe you would like to read it:
A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6-years-old, this beautiful red-haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart.
We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in: "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.
"What?" Mom asked.
"Let's run through the rain!" she repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain."
"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.
"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!"
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes.
Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.
"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If God let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said.
Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and, yes, through the puddles. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.
And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing

Happy Easter

"Today is the the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it"
I love Easter, getting together with family, eating a delicious feast and hunting for those eater eggs! (which i still do) Gotta Love It!!

Update?

Ok sorry about the title, but what else do I say? *insert clever blog tile here*? Ok so first I went on a ok BIG shopping spree but hey Who doesn't like shopping? It was really fun I only bought about um.. 10 pairs of jeans. Don't judge me. I like jeans. Oh and maybe one or two ok three pairs of sweatpants. A pair of badly needed wind pants. I need them for golf, my legs just about fall if the the wind doesn't blow them away. Also maybe a few shirts I am not going to tell you how many because then your eye balls will them fall of and you will not be able to read the rest of this post. Then of I go to Target to buy some necessities. Spent about an hour in there. Altho, it NOT my fault, every time I go with my mother I am aloud 1/2 hour. Max. And I always spend an hour. Ok so we go in there to buy 2 things. 1 can of crushed pineapple and 1 gallon of organic milk. We came out with two carts full and neither of those two things was in them. We have problems. Oh and today was a crummy day. First of all I got about 2 hours of sleep last night because of a migraine which I still have. Then this morning I spilled syrup ALL over my shirt while I was serving breakfast at my church. Oh and now I am doing "homework". I probably should start on that really soon!

Untitled for a reason

If you know my mother, than you will know that she is obsessed with finding a good deal. Recently she started being obsessed with selling a good deal. That's right she has been selling everything from lamps to clothes to chairs on craigslist. Our most recent buyer came yesterday. He was about 30 years old or so and happened to mention that they have 2 little boys. My mother's light bulb turn on and said, Hey I have 2 teenage girls that would be glad to babysit for you! WHAT!!??!! Is she insane!! He went out the door before I could say anything. On the other hand; she didn't think their was anything wrong with the fact that she completely volunteered us to babysit. Then I said, for a complete stranger? Her response; Ohh..

Yum..

As most of you know I have horrible cooking skills, seriously never ever ever ask me to cook for you. Don't get me wrong, I would love to cook for you and I actually enjoy cooking but I would feel terribly sorry for you. Altho there is one thing that I have made (with the help of my sister of course) that didn't turn out all that bad. It took a while, but it was worth it. So here my journey of making pie begins,

End Result: Priceless

Rule #1: Never, ever, ever make pie when your parents are home. Save them a trip to the hospital from seeing this

This is also my first picture(s) on my blog. :)

Poor Baby

If you have never heard of Mckmama then you must click here. Altho, I am sure that most of you have, I just want take precautions. Stellan is not doing well, he has been on a physical and emotional roller coaster for about 3 weeks. About 2 weeks ago they saw improvement, his STV had been gone for 24 hours, then suddenly STV crept back. Now, they are thinking of different treatments. They want to move him across the country to have an ablation. Don't ask me what it is. Now the family has to decide if they are all going to move with him. Before the Children's Hospital was only a few miles away from there house, but now it is going to be a many hundreds of miles if not, a thousand. Please pray for Mckmama and her family that God would show them guidance of what to do is this difficult situation. Also pray for the doctor's that if they choose to do the procedure that is goes smoothly.

Spring Break

Oh.. how I love spring break. Seriously, what is isn't to like? You get to sleep in, enjoy the sunshine, hang out and well do whatever you want. Unless, you have homework of course. But who doesn't wait until Sunday night anyway. I have no plans, (except for blogging) which I am actually really glad about. An average high-school's life can get enormously chaotic. No time for themselves. It is really quiet sad, once I think about it I go to school, I go to golf, I come and do homework until about midnight. Well that's exciting. So this week it is all about me. (Not to sound conceded or anything..) but that's how I want it to me. Time to myself, time to enjoy my life that God has given to me. And I am excited.

Sweet 16

Today is my birthday. I ate Tommy Chicago's pizza ( I know I normally do not like pizza but this is actually not to bad) and had some Cold Stone. The I opened presents! I got a pair of shoes, a cool water bottle, a carry-on luggage bag, gift cards, chocolates, and of course money. Then I went to a play at a church with my friend. Oooh and coolest of all, Stellen's Story was on the news at 10:00. That's super cool. Next up, is homework!! Who gives homework on my birthday?

Pray, Pray, Pray

Stellen needs out prayers. You can read his story here. Stellen is an incredible little boy who has STV. He has been in the PICU for over a week now and his condition is getting worse. He is going into heart failure. At first it was not a very big deal but then they couldn't stop it he went into V-Tach and now his heart function is slipping away. They have tried many different medications and it isn't helping. He needs our prayers tonight. "Wherever there is two our more calling my name I am there" Mathew 18:20

Sorry to say, but I have been avoiding you.

Why you ask? Well I you scroll down this entire page and look at the comments on every single post you will notice that they are all a goose egg. Well, it looks like you are avoiding me. Why, I ask I simply do not know. I post and post and post, I complain and complain and still nobody says a word. Hmmm...

What a drag...

Today was a horrible day. First there was a test in every single class and to make it worse i was completely unaware and unprepared for them. You see I was only at school 1 day this week and they still made me fail. I had no hope. It was horrible I just stared at the 10 page thick packet and felt blind. I had no idea what it was saying. Then I had to sit through a documentary movie in the last hour of the day which I completely fell asleep through and to my surprise their was a pop quiz at the end. Then I had to walk home from my old school. It was freezing, my hood would not stay on and the snow blew my face numb. I was hoping to get a little 'spirit lifting' when I went on her blog. But more bad news. Stellen is still in STV. Oh and to top it all off I have to wake up at 7:00 tomorrow to go to school on a non school day. Yes that is right no school tomorrow and I have to go take a test. Grr... Oh and there is always more I will be up until about 1:00 in the morning to study. Not cool.

Are you just stumped?

How come nobody ever guesses on my Trivia Tuesday's? Is it when you go on my blog your mind just goes blank at the sight of trivia? Not only have I not had a comment on Trivia Tuesday I have not had a comment for over a week. Do I seriously have to complain on my own blog to get you to comment? pathetic. Ok so instead of me complaining every week I will hand out prizes to the winner. Sound good? Ok now guess away. If more than one person gets it right it will be the fastest one who wins.

They are soo adorable. I really want to bring one home not like she will let me though. They were chirping all hour. I just wanted to reach in the cage and shove gently place one both of them in my backpack.
