And when you cry, be sure to dry your eyes, cause better days are sure to come. And when you smile, be sure to smile wide, and don't let them know that they have won. And when you walk, walk with pride: don't show the hurt inside, because the pain soon will be gone. And when you laugh, be sure to laugh out loud cause it will carry all your cares ( Read more... )

Hi!! I'm 18 today. I'm rambling on about it because I'm soo excited! So don't read if you don't want! =) It is super weird when I think about being 18. I'm technically an 'adult', but I don't feel like it. I still need my daddy. But it is really nice having a birthday. You realize who really appreciates your friendship by the thoughtful things ( Read more... )

My best friend is here. Finally! I love how we can just pick up everything like she never left. BEST FRIENDS!!!!!!

I am so blessed! I can't believe I have been given so many opportunities and so many gifts (like presents, not talents) that I don't even know how to show my appreciation and thanks anymore. I feel like saying "Thank you" doesn't come close to expressing what I really mean. I'm so happy about everything that I'm almost to the point of tears. I ( Read more... )

I want to be like that...where I close my eyes and throw back my head and I step up to dance with You. My tiny hand disappears in Your infinite one and my steps are so clumsy compared to Your grace. The music begins, and we move out onto the floor and my grip tightens, knowing I will fall, but also knowing You will guide me...and the music swells, ( Read more... )

But at the same time, it's sort of an exciting time..I have homecoming deadlines, ACT saturday, college applications/essays, school....ahhhhhh. it's hard to get everything done! BUT, I can do it right? bc it's not like i'm the only one who has to go through all of this. I can do it! Just if you guys think ( Read more... )

I have been trying so hard to enjoy each day of my life that God has graciously given to me. Even in the crappy times, I don't want to be a poopoo face and complain about everything, I want to be happy and joyous. That is my goal. I will do it. I will complain less and smile more. I don't want to lay in my bed at night and wish I did something ( Read more... )

Wow. You never cease to amaze me. =) I love how with one day, you can re-assure me and take away every fear I might have had. I have completely fallen for you, and now I remember why. I love you. Thank you. For everything.

A wise person once told me that God works in wonderful ways. I always believed it, but sometimes it takes something extra to give your faith a little boost, and it always happens at the perfect time. This whole day was my boost. And all I have to say is, I'm never going to under-estimate my God again. My life has completely been changed in the ( Read more... )

Life is AMAZING. I totally don't want to jinx myself, but I don't care. I'm ready to scream at the top of my lungs because I am so happy. I haven't been this happy in quite a while. PRAISE THE LORD! There has been some bad news over the passed couple days, but I have this wonderful feeling that everything is going to be okay. Stephy, my baby, is ( Read more... )
