12 Stones

While listening to my ipod recently, i discovered the 12 Stones album (thanks Cali) and I really enjoy it.. here are the lyrics that i currently have stuck in my head:

"Don't act like an angel, you've fallen again. Your no super hero, I found in the end. So lie to me once again, and tell me everything will be alright, lie to me once again, and ask yourself before we say goodbye. Well goodbye, was it worth it in the end?"

 

That is from the song Lie to Me.. its is my favorite song right now!!! 

I have had a pretty eventful, but uneventful week. I moved yesterday, and I also got baptized. I also got to reconnect with some friends I haven't seen in a really long time.. this has actually been a pretty good week.. so all in all I can't complain. 

I will be in Austin this thursday.. I am soooo flipping excited!!!!!

Amazing Love

I am always amazed at the love I have in my life. I have the most wonderful parents a girl could ask for. They support me 100 %. No matter what I decide to do, and even if it is not something they like, they still support me.  I also have the best sisters, and brother EVER!! Mandy, Amber, and Jamie are always there for me with advise, and a shoulder to cry on. They continually support me, and are my best friends. My friends are amazing. They accept me, even when I'm moody, cranky, and a little bit crazy. They don't pass judgment on the things I do, or want to do.. and are always there to talk. The residents at work may drive me crazy, but they all care about me. And i know they want the best for me. I have a wonderful, and very very large extended family, that are all amazing in their own way. They are all a little crazy at times (love yall!!) but they are very valuable to me. I love getting to see any of my relatives, and wish I could see them all more!!


However, Gods unending love is the basis of my existence. Because He loved me before i was born, I am alive today. Because He died for me, I have eternal life. Because He is a patient, and loving God, I know my past and future sins are forgiven. No matter how hard my day is, or what i am struggling with, I know He is there for me, and He has already taken my burdens away. I am grateful for Him.


Happy Mothers Day Deanne. You are the best mom ever. You are awsome, loving, funny, and kind. You take care of everyone, and never complain about it. I love you mommy!! Thank you for being you!

Music

Music is a vital part of my life. When i need a good pick me up i always turn to the Christian stations in my car. When i want to relax I like to listen to some nice, chill coffee shop music. These are some (no where near all of) my favorite songs right now:

rejection

rejection is a funny thing. and it comes in a lot of different forms. the rejection of someone you love, the rejection of a friend, the rejection from a school or job. no body likes rejection.. no one! and everyone of us is going to face it at some point. but rest assured, there is something better out there for you. you may not see it now, or in the near future. but it is out there. so take rejection in stride.. and know that God loves you, and he will never reject you. and with His love all things are possible. 


i'm not saying this because i have been rejected recently, but because someone thought i was rejecting them (which would mean he still thought i was more than a friend to him.. nope, not going to happen kiddo).. and it got me thinking. rejection is a part of life, a really really sucky part, but a part none the less. So cry your tears, become stronger, and know that things will get better!!


12 days from now i am going to be baptized... sooo excited!!! dad starts his new job 7 days from now!!! aaand in 17 days i will be in austin with my sisters!!!!!!!!!


(notice how the only important things are capitalized.. nothing else matters in life)
