Unconditional Love

I witnessed something just now, that broke my heart, and made me smile at the same time. Noah, our dog belongs to my dad. My dad saw him when he was ready to be taken home, and weeks before that. He is the one that feeds him, and lets him sleep right beside him. He plays with him when he gets home, even if that means its 11 at night.
Dad came home for a few moments before heading back out. Noah saw him and when he left, Noah didn't understand what had happened. Dad's car was still there. But where was he? Noah in a panic has been whimpering at the front door, only to run to the window moments later to see if he's back yet. It actually makes me want to cry. What I saw was an example of unconditional love. He wags his tail no matter what, whenever dad comes home. If he digs in the garden only to get yelled at, he still comes back ready to play. Noah doesn't hold grudges. He's ready and willing to love dad for whatever happens. And now he's gone and Noah will wait until he gets home, so he can wag his tail and play with his companion.
Man's Best Friend.

2 more days.....

2 more days till Christmas. Holy Crap. I need more time. As much as I'm excited , I'm nervous. I'm nervous that the gifts I bought for people won't go over well. That they'll get me something better and I'll feel guilty for not doing more. Some of the gifts I got, I had a hand in doing. Like for my dad. We won't say what though. But what if because I'm not that good at it, he won't like it. Of course he'll say he does, he has to. But who knows. Anyways, guess I should stop worrying. It is the holiday season. I'm going to Logan's tomorrow night. I'm excited because I finally get to know what he's been doing for the past few months. Now the only thing is, what am I going to wear?.Well here's to God, I thank Him for sending down his Son, and that we all remember that he was born that day, and that this Christmas we will honor the Man that died for us.

Renovating

I've re- made my blog again. I felt like I needed it lighter. I guess it might be because I feel lighter. I was looking at Lori's blog and after I read it I couldn't get over how much I loved it. I wanted a blog that had simplicity, but that had some depth to it's words. So I opted for a new template.

what do you do when you know someone isn't in a healthy relationship, and you can't stand to have to prepare your heart to break for them anymore.

Christmas EXTRAVAGANZA

We had our Christmas extravaganza last night, put on by Yay God. There wasn't too many people, I'd say a perfect group for the relay races and the games they had to do. I personally wasn't feeling well but wanted to see the events so I became a judge, to make sure certain teams weren't cheating....As if Christians cheat J/K. It was funny, gross and amazing to see what these kids would do. They had 4 corner soccer, pretty usual. They had relay races pulling people on scooters and piggy-back races. Again, usual. Then the fun stuff happened. We had them race to grab all the ingredients for an ice cream float. They then had to mix it all together( gallon on ice cream, 3 2L of pop and some bananas ) and they had to eat it all. The next and final "race" was the most interesting of all. 6 people had to run to the other side of the gym, and when they came back there would be something gross waiting or them. Now most of them were littler so it was pretty cool. First was the cup of lemon juice. Second 2 raw eggs. Third, Tabasco sauce. Fourth, a bowl of flour. And fifth they had to down a gallon of milk. This one was obviously for the older kids. Which of course Logan participated. Logan finished first, which meant the final person had to catch themselves a live goldfish....To eat. Its crazy what our youth will think up. I had a good time just watching. It was a great way to end the youth/yay God year.
And Logan I'm so proud of you, I don't think I've ever seen you throw-up that many times..I don't really want to again, but I'm so impressed that you did that.

Last day of school, and My dream girl

Its the last day of school. I can't say I'm not excited. It's a bit of a drag that my parents are both sick, but at the same time I couldn't be happier that Christmas is almost here. I'm not completely prepared for it, I haven't even attempted at wrapping, but hey, I've got a week right?. I feel better than last time I wrote, I was reading last night and some of the information brought on such relief for me. I still feel a little strange, like I can't quite tap into the right emotions, or have my emotions really show through my actions. I'm working on it though and I definitely feel better than yesterday.
I've got a person I'm my mind, and she's great. She's kind and thoughtful, soft spoken but makes her voice heard. She's smart and polite. She doesn't have bad hair days and she can look great in sweat pants and a sweatshirt. She respects people and they respect her in return. She has a beauty that cannot be described, because it is her goodness that shines through from the inside. She has God as her right hand Man, he is always there to talk and to listen. She has a good family life, her parents and her get along so well. And her boy-friend is always happy to see her, and to show her love.
Now why is it, that I can't be that. That person of who I want to be is right there, and I can't seem to grab her hand. When I am faced with opportunities, I fall short, until after when I think of what I should have done, if I'd not acted so quickly. I pray one day she comes out of hiding, and I can be the person I see God wants me to be.

Me in a nutshell

I haven't been blogging in a long time a part of me doesn't have the motivation. No one reads this blog so why bother. I guess I have to remember this blog is more for me and not so much everyone else. So here's the update on me;
Me and God, not so great. I dunno what it is but I must have done something to make it so I can't even feel him around anymore. I feel like my life is going pretty good, I mean there's always little problems but I think I should at least be getting some kind of contact. I know its not Him, it's me, I'm just not sure why.
Family; doing good. We're all getting along, which is kinda strange sometimes but I'm glad we've come together to really be a family.
Friends; ummm same as always, my friends are there for me and I'm there for them, I guess it's more of a sub category, I don't think I'm giving my friends a lot of attention, I know people are busy but I should make more of an effort.
Love; it's good, I really can't complain. Everything's been going smooth, I hate having fights about nothing so I'm glad Logan and I haven't really had much of those. We've had our fair share of problems, I guess I'm just trying to be a bit more passive, things that can matter won't in a couple weeks so why waste time arguing about them.
School; almost done. So happy bout that. I can't wait till I don't have to wake up at 7 anymore. My grades are good, I got my science up from a 65 to a 73 so that was good that I took the time to do that.
Me; I'm good all around. I'm going through some weird kind of thing where I can't stand to just stay still. I cleaned the house all day Saturday and when I was done I didn't want to sit down, I just wanted something else to do.... Not sure what that means. I was sick but not anymore, I got over that pretty quick which was good cuz I get sick way to easy.
So there's me in a nutshell. I'll try to keep updating.
