Absence Makes the Heart grow Fonder

Not true. Absence does not make you love someone more.

Absence makes you realize how much you already do love them.

I needed this.

Joshua 1:9
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Cowboy Take me Away by the Dixie Chicks

"I said, "I wanna touch the earth
I wanna break it in my hands
I wanna grow something
Wild and unruly"

I wanna sleep on the hard ground
In the comfort of your arms
On a pillow of blue bonnets
In a blanket made of stars

Oh it sounds good to me+

" I wanna walk and not run
I wanna skip and not fall
I wanna look at the horizon
And not see a building standing tall

I wanna be the only one
For miles and miles
Except for maybe you
And your simple smile"

Marriage, by scriptural definition is: "The blending together of two lives, two personalities of the opposite sex for as long as the two shall live in this world. It is the building of a home that respects the law of God and protects the morals of mankind."

What I want to do.

After graduating, people always ask next: What are you going to do? Well, I think I know.

I want to become a psychologist. My family picks that I'm going to be their therapist. But,I think I want to be a clinical psychologist who works in a facility that helps people with drug addictions. I bet it's a tough job, but it is an important one. I used to think I wanted to be the therapist for the people who had to deal with the addicted people and were abused emotionally and physically by them. But after learning a little bit more about it, I want to help the abusers. I to take a crack-addicted man who beats his wife and help him become a happy, productive member of society. I want to help the alcoholic widower learn to deal with his loss and live the way his late-wife would have liked him to be and be a good father to the kids his wife had to leave behind. I want to help lift up the fallen.

Tomorrow's Graduation day

Here I am, Class of 2012... I have to say, I don't feel vey different. I feel like tomorrow will be just another day and that diploma will be just another piece of paper. I don't think it has hit me yet.

I think that tomorrow, I will watch my classmates cross that stage and think of how far they've come and how proud I am of my friends. I'll see my teachers one last time and know they helped guide me throughout these past four years and how I'll never be able to thank some of them enough. I will stand on that stage and smile while looking at my family, who has supported me through my years and are there to let me know they are proud and will never stop supporting me. I know I'll step off that stage and thank God for always being there for me even when I was turning away from Him. Tomorrow, I will see how far I've come and begin the journey that will take me to where I'm going.

Remember who your friends are

Remember who your friends are.

 That simple sentence is such strong statement of advice. Remember who your friends are. They are the people who have stood by you when you need them and stood up to you when you were wrong. They are honest to you even when it hurts. They have been your shoulders to cry on and jokes to laugh to. They help you stand when you don't feel like living, and relax when you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. They are there to remind you of what you have when you feel you have nothing. They are there to laugh with you, talk with you, get mad at you, and forgive you. They encourage you to be stronger, stand taller, live happier, and cheer for your future. 

And with another strong note of wisdom from my short 17 year old life:

Remember to be a friend to your friends.

A Burst of Self Improvement

So tomorrow, I begin. I really should be drinking water instead of soda or tea due to my tendency to have kidney stones, so tomorrow I begin to drink water if possible, otherwise I'll drink something less kidney stone-inducing.
"
I am going to start working out. No, I don't want to lose weight, I am at a healthy 130 lbs at 5'7." I do want to tone up though. I like when my body feels strong and I found a very cool workout routine that includes kickboxing and a little yoga. Now that I am out of school I can actually work out during the day so I won't risk waking up anyone.

I want to feel strong and stand tall. I want to feel toned. And I will.

The sweet, sweet whisper of Summer

My goodness! Summer is almost here, only a day away for me. I have always loved Summer, the warmth, the freedom, and the late nights. I find nothing more romantic than a summer night sitting by a bonfire looking up at the stars with that special person. I find nothing more fun that a water balloon fight with my friends in the summer heat. I find nothing more relaxing than reading on the beach with my toes in the warm sand. I find almost nothing more amazing than Summer.

FWD: Ugh!!!

Ugh! I dropped my old phone in the toliet so now im using my old phone that sucks=/
