So it's been a while since i've posted anything so, get ready for everything.
The trip went amazing. My brother came and we got even closer. We went to the zoo and the aquarium it was nice , but i'm good with the animals for a few years. Next year definatly a theme park, I lover roller coasters. But all in all it was a really good trip.
The week after the trip,, i had surgery . Minor surgery but still, it's still kinda a big deal for me. I had to be put to sleep and receive my first IV =/. I was such a wimp, the anesthesiologists gave me a numbing shot first. It was very kind. This is my third day of recovery and it was the worst, it was very hard to breath because they had to shove a breathing tube down my throat. My chest hurt and i had a fever. Hopefully it's all uphill from here =] .
School!!!!!!! ahhh! Yes another year of high school in all its glory(drama haha) is up ahead. Today was actually my last firday of freedom, yeah it sucks. Tomorrow i am off to "back to school clothes shopping", which is always the funnest part of back to school. So wish me luck as i take on a horribly overloading schedule, for real my social life is GONE. This will be one hard year, but hopefully it will pay off in the end. But i am PUMPED to see my friends and my boyfriend everyday! So again WISH ME LUCK!
That's it for now, check out the new song of the week, it's very pretty. (plus i can play it on piano woot!)
OHH
P.S. my brother got his papers from the divorce, it's not going to be as peaceful as i thought. She is suing for sole custody. Pray for us, all we want is joint so he can at least see his kids, but the wife has a very manipulative mother and won't just leave it at "Mom we want to make this as easy as possible". And a daughter willing to give in to her mother at the slightest suggestion.

PUMPED!
So My trip is coming up and i am super pumped! Like I said i love to take trips with my youth group, and i hope it is amazing. Yes i know i am telling you this again, but there is one little adjustment to my youth trip, my big brother is coming along. I know, i had to ask myself if that was a good thing, because of our awkward relationship. I have come to the conclusion that it is a very good thing, i hope he makes friends with some super cool Christian people and they will keep him out of trouble. And like i said i'll let you know how it goes.
In other news, I actually have some church responsibility (a little, but still some.) The ladies retreat is coming up, and my youth leader and her mother do the special services. So my youth leaders mother asks her to sing a song, and my youth leader asks some girls from the youth group to learn some sign language. So thats pretty awesome.
In addition to me doing sign language with the other girls, my youth leader asked if i could do something else as well. So i was like ok bring it on ((yeah most of the time that's my attitude)). I thought she was talking along the lines of singing, because that's what i mostly do in the church, but before i knew it the work SKIT was in my face. I have done skits before, but i was just surprised to hear the word. So i was like yeah i'm up to it (and yes i'm pretty pumped about the skit too).
But then she said something about writing our own skit? Well i really am not the most creative writer, but yet again,,, its like,, bring it on. haha. So i sat down to my computer and began writing a skit, and i came up with something to go with the theme. I don't know if its a good skit or not, i haven't run it by my youth leader yet, but even if we don't use it (((( which i would be fine with)))) I'm pumped i wrote a skit.
So to sum up the last couple of days in one word,,,,, PUMPED! lol but i'm going to get off here, and enjoy my morning coffee ((which keeps me alive)) and M&Ms.

bored and blogging
It's 4am, and i am still up,, i really need to get my sleep schedule back. So as you know there is not much to do when the house is sleeping, so here i am again, bored and blogging.
Not much new has happened since my last post, i did get a new song of the week, which is AMAZING(check it out), and i had a reassuring talk with my boyfriend tonight. No not the jealous kind where i'm asking him all these questions about other girls, "would you dump me if she came on to you". We had a conversation with much more meaning than that, to me anyway.
We have been dating for about four months now, and He has called every night from the start ((you know teens and their phones)). Most of the time it's either that mushy talk about who misses who more, or just random things about our day. But tonight the phone call was about God. As you know God is very important in my life, and dating other Christians is important to me as well. I knew he was a Christian and we would talk about our youth group activities and occasionally about our lessons. Tonight we talked about what we loved about being a Christian, and just basically just gave our testimonies to each other. I just thought the whole convo was sweet, and just let me know more than ever that God is the foundation of any relationship we will ever have. I'm not saying we are super serious or anything, as I frequently remind you i am just a teen, but it is just nice to know that my boyfriend(for now) and my good friend (forever) is as serious about God as i am.
My brother is also spending the week,,,,,,,,,, whoopee (it'd be nice if you'd read that sentence with the lovely voice of Ben Stein). It is so awkward, we are not close at all. It's hard to find things to talk about, and frankly I'm not too sure if i want to. Every time we get close he does something stupid, like be a druggie. I want to be close, but i don't want to get hurt. So right now all i can do is pray, and see how this relationship turns out. Pray for him, and me as well.
And last topic, but deff not least. I'm going on a trip with my youth group Friday, so I'm pretty pumped. I'll let you know how it went when i get back, which i'm sure i will be using the words insane, crazy, and amazing a lot.

BOOOOOOOOOORED!!
Yes it's late,,, and yes i'm bored to death. i guess i like to blog when i am bored, and eat ( i swear i think i have eaten everything in my house ). But yeah i can't sleep, it's getting to the brain dead, slap happy time, when everything is funny.
No one is on aim to talk to, and i can't call anyone. All i would get is some mumbles, and then an unhappy phone call in the morning asking why i woke them up. They wouldn't be very happy when i said "just to talk". So here i am.... blogging. =/
I really don't know what to blog. I write poems sometime, i guess i will share one of many. Tell me what you think.

The world in vain
We all build up our wall
Hiding us when we fall
Never let anyone in
Always avoiding our sin
If we confess the truth inside
Tell him all the tears we’ve cried
We will find our escape
From this word that is so fake
Our walls are all torn down
A smile replaces our worn out frown
The happiness we feel
Shows everyone he is real
He’ll guide you everyday
If you follow in his way
The love he shows
In you he grows
The lord will set you free
Your life the sweeter will be
If you don’t believe me
Find God yourself, then you’ll agree
Haha, yeah take into consideration, i'm only a teenager. I guess thats it for now, i think i will try and find something to occupy me till i get sleepy. goodnight!!

Church Piano
yes another post! Since i am only a teenager, i don't have much to post other than teenage drama, fears, and excitement. Which is different from the rest of the worlds because most of the times it seems small, unimportant or just not as exciting as we thought. The "adult world" has more than likely experienced what i am going through or much worse, ergo, it's not a big deal. But your teenage tidbit for today is a lovely experience i had today playing piano at church.
There i was just singing my heart away in the church choir, when i see my dad ( the church choir director ) start motioning. It was quite a funny sight actually, seeing him make numbers with his fingers and do some silly little gesture in the air. Then i realize he is telling me a page number and asking me if i wanted to try my newly formed piano skills on one of the songs. You have to realize something i didn't, even with a year of piano under my belt, it's way different once you are up there. So i agree, pick my best song, and freeze. It wasn't so bad they sang a cappella during fellowship so no one cared. After church i got "good job sweetie" from the elderly sweet ladies who love you no matter what, and people's stories about when they first tried to play piano. It was kind of embarrassing and i probably won't play in front of a whole congregation for a long time now.
There was extra great thing about this congregation today, my brother showed up. He is in the midst of a divorce and has needed the lord since he was about 17 (is now 27). He comes once in a blue moon to quiet my parents and sleeps though half of it. But this time, he said " I enjoyed Sunday school today, do u think you could bring me again next week". That's a huge improvement and a great excitement to us all, so i ask your prayers for him and his family, maybe he will give his life to the lord!

Still here
Yes i am still here, I am quite proud of myself. Since i don't exactly know how these things work, i guess i will just tell you guys about my day. Today was a bit intense for me, I had an encounter that i will never forget. As you know i am a Christian and pray ALL the time, my recent worry has been about my uncle. Today i payed a visit to his house and could literally feel the presents of demons.
He is currently living with my grandparents, so i initially went to see them. I walk in the house and talk to them a bit. Then retire to my normal napping place, while my mother and grandparents talk. I nod off, and wake to crying. My uncle is sobbing hysterically and talking about how he has nothing to live for. My mother is calming him down and telling him that if he would only give his life to Jesus, his life would be so much more enriching. I could see the struggle within him. I know it sounds weird, but it seemed as if i could sense the presents of satan himself. It was a very scary experience just seeing the out ward struggle, i just can't imagine what he is going through inside. It ended in him saying "just give me some time". He needs your prayers drastically, i don't know what will happen if he doesn't realize what he needs.
This same day consists of a much happier ending, I got to hang with the youth group for a while. We swam, and rented the movie Thr3e (( the book and the movie are excellent! )). Oh yes and who could forget smoores in the microwave. Our hostess almost blew up some marshmallows haha.
All in all this was a pretty nice day. Now i have to go and pick out my boyfriend's birthday present, whose birthday btw is tomorrow hahaha. Wish me luck!!!
