school and more

Hello readers!!!
Well, me... um. I have a 87 in English now. This is good considering I had a 75 earlier. haha. Since I'm in honors if I get 1 point higher then I will have all A's. (Honors gets 2 points added to their average.)
We have a Chemistry test soon. Our teacher is getting married Friday, but is sick right now. :( Pray she gets better soon!!

Do any of y'all watch Numb3rs. It's a really good show. It's a crime scene show, but uses math to solve the crimes. The mathematician explains it in normal people terms as well. It's cool. :)

Between Summer and Now

Well considering I have barely updated since the beginning of the school year and now here is what's going on with me:
1)Classes 2)Sadie Hawkins Dance 3)Encounter 4)Talent Show

1) Classes (basically I'm telling you about my classes, if you don't care then skip it, cause it's kinda long. Go to #2)
World History- You may not know that I am not much of a History person, or at least not History out of a textbook. I'm fine with stories and fiction/nonfiction books that I can read (generally), but other than that it's not really for me. (I do understand the point of studying it, I just don't like too. haha) So, of course, this is the class I have 1st period. Joy. It hasn't been all that bad, though. It's a fairly big class so I do have friends.
Spanish II- I like spanish and really enjoyed it last year. It's much simpler than English. :) My teacher is new this year and seems to be doing good.
Hon. Chemistry- I used to not like science because I was TERRIBLE at it, but I have liked Chemistry a lot so far. Not only is our class small, but Chemistry actually makes sense, which is good. :)
Band- Band is band. We play. and talk. and goof around. and make fun of the director. and then play a little bit. haha
Hon. English- 3 words, DGP:Daily Grammer Practice. We've used this terrible technique of torture since 8th grade. I am TERRIBLE. I don't know grammer, but that's not all we do. The actual course that we're taking is American Liturature. It's... interesting. John Smith should have never written anything to spare everyone. If you've read him you know what I mean. haha. Overall, I really like this class. Our teachers son is in that class which provides a lot of entertainment. :)
Comparitive Religions- We began which an indepth study of Acts and are almost finished with it. After that, we'll move on to other religions to study and learn about.
Hon. Algebra II- Oh the joys of math class!! Our class is the greatest. Every Thurday, block day, we change the seating arrangement around. It's loads of fun. :) Our teacher is great too, she's not only a good teacher, but is also fun. our class has a wacky sense of humor, but for the most part knows when it's appropriate to... unleash. hehe.

2) Sadie Hawkins Dance (girls ask the guys...)
Dinner- We went to TGI Friday's with a group of 9.
Dance- 7:30-11. It was fun. :)
Afterwards- Mi amiga favorita came home with me.

3) Encounter (Spiritual School Retreat)
Topic- "Bones" It was about Ezekiel and the Valley of Dry Bones. The speaker and the music were wonderful. It was great to see how people's lives were changed. :)

4) Talent Show
TONIGHT!
Me and my friend are doing an oboe-flute duet. :) It should be great. I'm so excited. yay!

Fireproof the Movie

Our Facing the Giant's brothers/sisters in Christ have done it again..

no me siento bien

habla espanol? anyone?

if not: no me siento bien=i don't feel well.

i'm staying home from youth today so that i can down some airborne to make it go away. me duele la garganta.

y (and)

mi amiga showed me this video y lo me gusta mucho. tell me what cree. (you think)

New..

You may be wondering why I changed my blog to red, black and grey.

Well, I'm going to the UGA football game next Saturday!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited! I've never been before!! :D So, this week my blog is celebrating with me. haha.

Today is going to either be a really fast or really short. Hopefully fast. ahhh! :D

School

School started back last week! I am really enjoying school (i know, i'm a geek) and I really feel like it's going to be a good year. My schedule is good, except that I have History first. It's kind of hard to stay awake. Also, 6th period my teacher has couches. 6th periods is the 2nd period after lunch so my brain has gone to snooze mode. If we're not doing anything, I'm usually sleeping. haha.

I invited someone to the dance called "Sadie Hawkins" where the girls ask the guys. I did it last year, too. Hopefully I'll be able to go with some of my friends and their dates.

Well, I think I'm going to go to bed soon. I'm very tired. Hasta luego!!

Pretty Day

It feels soooo good outside today! Well, today is cleaning day. So much fun. haha.

Click here to view David's blog.

again, all prayer is very much appreciated and needed.

At School

Hello All. I am at school right now. :) Libby Lou Marshall (hehe) is reading which is good because her summer reading is due Tuesday and she's not even half way done. haha.
Yesterday I helped with school supplies and saw a friend that I haven't seen all summer! She played oboe last year, but is switching to art. She's excited and I'm excited for her, but I'm going to miss her!!
I need to ask ya'll to pray for something. There is a family at my school who has a boy with cancer. I don't know all the details, but I know it was gone and now it is back. They have a blog for him which I will post later. (I'm not sure what it is right now.) His name is David and if you would be praying for him that would be wonderful.

6 Weeks

Today is 6 weeks! Yea! I'm so excited! Now I am technically healed. It's rather freeing. I guys it's hard to understand unless you've been in a situation where you are limited for awhile, but I guess everyone has those at some point or another. :)

My friend spent the night last night. That was fun. We had some really good conversations. It was great. We love her. And by the way, you now have 2 families. I think you've figured that out, but your like our family. haha. So good job. :D <3

Oh yea, I got normal colored hair back. haha.

5 weeks 5 days

Yay!! Yesterday I went to the oral surgeon and he told me that I was healed "enough" to resume normal activities and a normal diet. Wahoo! Although, that whole "normal" thing might be a little hard. Last time I checked I'm far from normal. Have you seen my hair lately? haha. Well, that's the good news! 6 weeks is saturday, so that is really when I'm healed, but the sooner the better, right?

Also, if you or someone you know is going to be having this surgery or anything like it feel absolutely free to email me or call me. I would love to talk with you/them. I've also had a tongue surgery where they clipped some from the underneath it because I was... tonguetied? Is that the word? I can't remember, but I had that surgery in 5th grade and there are more to come. I'm going to have to have a bone graft and some implants. So I'm almost done! (That may seem like a lot to you, but to me it seems like almost done. haha)

Bubblewrap

I love bubblewrap. and webcams. :)

MeMe

Okay so my friend, mother, at Turning Points tagged me in this meme.

Here are the tag rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. Let each person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Here goes:

1. I like to write fiction and devotionals. I also play oboe. :)

2. I have blue eyes and I get comments on that a lot, but I think I've recieved more comments on my pink hair lately. I think it stands out just a little bit more than blue eyes, but just a tiny bit.

3. I'm not sarcastic at all. Nope, never in a million years. Right mother?

4. I still play with play-doh and I'm 15.

5. I've never had a boyfriend. Nope, never. (seriously, i really never have)

6. I have a best friend ever named Eboo who is going to be tagged in this. ha.

Tag 6 people? Yeah, right.

1. My bestestestestest friend everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr: quiet wispers
2. My youth minister : Student Ministry is Life
3. A church planter : Relative Truths

I'll stick with 3. :)

5 Weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wahoo! One more week! I'm soooooo excited. I have an appointment with the oral surgeon on Wednesday and he will give me the official okay there. Hopefully all is it seems. :)It takes 6 weeks for a bone to heal, so techically I have another full week of recovery left, but officially 4 more days. I'm so ready to be able to do what I want. I want to go to six flags. Does anyone want to go to six flags with me? Or go to have a steak dinner. Next Saturday, let's go. haha. Maybe not, but I'm still so excited.

God has enormously blessed me this summer. I'm going to write a "full" ( i guess you could say) testimony later, but He has given me a speedy recovery and has even allowed me to play my oboe. Thank you my dear Lord! He is good and there is power in prayer I can promise you that right now. It's up to God overall what to do, but sometimes God will provide us with miracles, but we need to have a servant's heart. King Hezekiah prayed that God would be with them in a war that seemed impossible to win and he said he wanted it to be so that everyone would see GOD'S POWER AND GLORY!! And God was there. My friends that called me and sent me notes have a servant's heart. Thank you for your prayers. I really should stop before I start preaching as I sometimes accidentally do, but thank you everyone. I love you bunches. <3

Yes or No

Me: You know you are strange when you are inspired by a bottle of shampoo.

Bro and Mom: A bottle of shampoo?

Me: Yes

Yes or No

As you all know, it is a very hot day in Lawrenceville, GA. So, like most of probably, I took a shower after the morning service of Campmeeting. We just bought a bottle of clarifying shampoo for my pink hair and I was reading what it said. It was talking about how it removes gunk without damaging your hair. That's good, I thought to myself. Then it said "Say yes to beautiful without paying the price". Hm.

Satan says the same thing to us, "Say yes to sin without paying the price". Satan convinces people that there is no God so it doesn't matter if you sin. Or that you won't get caught so do whatever you want. He tells us we can do all this stuff without "paying the price" of hell or earthly consequences.

It kind of reminds me of the anti-drug organization that says, "Just say no [to drugs]", but it's even more than that. Just say no to alcoholism, smoking or any sort of addiction. Just say no to lying, cheating and stealing. Just say no to sin. Just say no.

Now while that is easier said than done (like most things), we need to try wholeheartedly to just say NO! We WILL mess up, but we need to try. In the long run it will actually benefit you. I guess it comes down to knowing who to say yes to and who to say no to. Do you say yes to Jesus or sin? Who will you say yes to?
