Life’s a journey, enjoy the trip

…..It’s been one heck of a ride.

Hey guys..


It’s been a super amazing night.


I’d had this big fight-ish type thing with a couple of my friends about my birthday..and turns out, my Mom (and everyone else) had something planned all along. So, I’m expecting……hot dogs. And when me, Sam & Seth drove up at 5:00, there was this big white….LIMO in my driveway. Big fun, lemme tell ya! I was SO surprised!!! ❤ It was amazing! Seriously..I was so happy. So..me, Kylie, Jeff, Jeska, Sam, Seth, Roy, Sarah, & Paul piled up in the limo & rode to Funroe. =] Ride was great! ‘Cept Poor Roy lost his hattt!! Out the window! Aww! So yeah, my friends are definitely amazing..to say the least. I had the BESTTT time!!! We went to Monroe and I bought a pretty black ring at Romancing the Stone. And then we went and watched Pulse …. yeah. Aha..it was semi-scary at parts, but mostly just funny. Ano0ther funny thing was the guy sitting by Sam.. “Ole boy right there..” Fun stuff. YES, WE KNOW WE’RE FABULOUS!

So I wanna thank you guys…all seven of you..for making my birthday celebration AMAZING! It will be something I’ll never forget! You guys are AMAZING!!!!! All special in your own little absurd ways… =] Such wonderful kids!


SoOoOo..Paul & Jenn both blogged about their summers, so I thought I would, too.


Being grown up isn’t half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
Is just following your heart
And eventually you’ll finally get it right.—”In this Diary” The Ataris


My summer has been SUCH a roller coaster…of just everything. Friendships, emotions, just life in general. But it’s been a fun time. So, what’s happened?

I don’t know if I’ll ever know why
Or hear the sound when angel’s cry
What you said to me late last night
I’ll remember for the rest of my life
Every night when I close my eyes
I see the ways that you’ve touched my life
And I want you to know that I’ll
Always be right here—Hawk Nelson “right here”


I love you Kylie!!!!!

Don’t frown..you never know who’s falling in love with your smile <3

Hi guys! Good morning! How’s it goin’? Pretty good here. Just been straightening up for tonight. Gonna be great. Anyway, I haven’t started on my room…but I’ve done a lot around this house, fo sho. 🙂


Dock’s grandmother’s funeral is today sometime. Mom & Rachel are going. I should. So, send some prayers their way, mmk? Thanks guys! ❤


So…I hate dumb people. 🙂 Aha.. I know I’m not the brighest crayon in the box, but seriously…learn to spell easy words, okay? And don’t have internet spellings…like so seriously, man. I mean, say gonna ‘n couldawouldashoulda and all that kinda jazz…but don’t say….awsum…THAT IS SO NOT A WORD! *sigh* ❤


I had a dream about Aaron last night….blah.


Well I better get back to doin’ stuff before I go to Sam’s! See yall!


Share with someone in need this week–without hoping for anything in return.

……Here’s to the nights..we felt alive……


Heya. What’s up? Nothing much here. Juuuuuust chilling. Been gone all day long. Been a rly long day. So let’s see. I got the most bad looks today out of everyday EVER! I wore my hoochie skirt & leggings to Monroe. YAY! aha..SO cute! Sam bought me a tiara that says “Birthday Princess” and it’s SOO cute and I wore it all day long! I love it! Sam also bought me SUBWAY for lunch! It was gooooood. Andddd then we went shopping for stuff. Sam bought her a pretty backpack & an old guy said he liked my tiara and his kid corrected how he said it! So cute still. And we saw a kid in a box! lols. Oh, and I’m illegal apparently. 🙂 Fo sho. I got a lot of random smiles & birthday wishes, too. But they didnt overrule the evil glares! aha. When we went to the Christian Book store to buy Sam a bible & devotion book, I bought that book..Every Young Woman’s Battle. & Sam bought me the book that goes with it that you write in. Im excited to start that. ❤ Sam got an awesome lil devo book! I just had a great day. We forgot to take our princess pictures, but we still were princesses ALL DAY! =] SOOO EXCITING!


And we went and ate San Miguels with Jessica Lucero & Will tonight. Fun stuff. Kiiiiiiiinda pretty much still awkward, but was a fun time. I missed that girl a whole lot. So yeah.


But…..huge faith booster tonight. Sam lost my b-day present..and we prayed about it…and she found it later. Thank God he still answers prayers. <3<3<3<3<3


My semi-devotion thing today said…What makes you happy? Turn to Jesus to make you happy. ….Jesus SO makes me happy!!


Another birthday. Another time of stress & fighting with my Mom. Hasn’t this happened enough times?


I just didn’t wanna have to plan my birthday this year. I wanted my Mom to make up something, but noooooo. It’s all me once again. I don’t even know why I even care anymore. No joke.


So I don’t know what I’m doing. My mom won’t come up with anything and I refuse to plan it, so I’m not sure if anything will go down. Especially the water park business. I’m betting that doesn’t happen.


She needs to make plans so nobody will already be busy. Kylie already is.


 


 


……..I quit.

I’ve had questions..without answers.


Well, I told Sam I was heading out to bed…but then I started thinking about how much I needed to write in this thing..for my own safety. ..Seriously.


Last year about this time (according to old Xanga entries), I was feeling about how I felt a little earlier. Like I’m not important and nobody cares about me. It’s a super stupid little thought, but it’s one that always comes back. The cause of it today was writing him. A certain person I just had to invite. But, I’m good. Really..I am. Honest.


Another thing that was going on next week last year..was Life University. I can’t believe we didn’t have it this year.. This year of ALL years… when we’re so fired up for God. But also..I’ve never in my life been this excited about an Old Bethel revival. But I am SO excited. (Monday-Friday 7:00pm) It’s gonna be really wonderful and amazin’ this year. I keep thinking though..(the devil has had it out with me lately) that it isn’t gonna be amazing like we think because {{OLD BETHEL REVIVALS}} haven’t ever been oh-so-wonderful.. (‘cept that one time when Bobby Ray came) But then I stop myself from underestimating God once again. I’m having faith this year because of what I’ve been seeing the last few weeks. It’s astounding, I assure you. God is just moving..He’s SO alive in our church! I love it!


So…Monday is my 16th birthday. I’m pretty much excited. I think we’re doing something on Friday. And we’re supposed to be going to Blue Bayou on Saturday, but who knows. I really hope I get to. And…we might do something with the youth on Sunday night. Not sure. And Monday is my birthday. So, yeah. Monday also starts revival. Everything is oh-so-busy. I forgot to mention San Miguels with Jessica Lucero & Will on Thursday night. We’re cool kids, I know it.


So what have I been doing? I’ve been with Sam & Seth mostly. We went and visited Aunt Dana & Uncle Kevin the other night and that was eventful. We ate popcorn and talked and played video games. Fun stuff. I love them…I do so much. So yeah, just been at Sam’s a whole lot. Tanning & eating & running errands & fighting with Jacob. Been writin’ letters since like 6ish today. Fun stuff, lemme tell you. Im still not done. I have 11 more. *sigh* But God will help me!!!!! =] Anywho. I did get to see Jeff ‘n Jeska today. I love mah friends! AND I PICKED OUT SAM & SETHS GLASSES! I’m such the Motherly type. I can’t WAIT! haha You should’ve heard me with Coty today. And Sam’s gonna set her FARM ON FIRE!! WOOOO! lol.


Well, I should probably head out. I needa be up early in the morning. But remember…NEVER FEAR..GOD IS HERE! 😉 Love yall!

My soul doth long and even faints for you..

 Isn’t it refreshing to know that God is at work all over the world? We have the assurance of knowing that our God loves people everywhere.

 

Col. 1: 3-8

3 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints; 5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit, as it is also among you since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7 as you also learned from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, 8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

 

So, guys…life is pretty durn good right now! We’re having FUGE NIGHT! tonight at church and it’s gonna be amazing!! I’m excited to see that slide show! KINDA AFRAID! haha Mrs Penny took some -interesting- pictures!

See!….ahahah

 

Well, I’m out! Hope to see you all soon & get precious comments!

PRAYER

Do you guys realize how AWESOME prayer is? Back in the old days, they had to use a priest thing to communicate with God…but we can through Jesus! SOOOO AWESOME!


Anyway, Amanda is supposed to come down today, I think, but I’m not really sure. I REALLY need to start cleaning. Mah house looks like trash! *siiiiigh* My new devotion book is pretty cool. So i’m reading this book “Ghost Girl” and it’s pretty good. Well, since the Price is Right is cooler than you…i’m gonna go watch it! ❤

Just like Christ

That’s my prayer. I wanna be just like Him. Life is crazy & sooo difficult, but our lights HAVE to shine. So, pray for me..and I’ll pray for you.


BY THE WAY, MY BEST FRIEND GOT SAVED YESTERDAY!!


God..is..amazing. I’ve been praying for her for almost seven years now. God is GOOD.

Centrifugee!

So, i’m leaving at 2 this morning for Centrifuge. I’m excited and still really afraid. It’s gonna be fine though. I’m pretty much all packed up except for some clothes I have to iron and my carry-on bag. I’m riding with Mrs. Penny, Seth, Sam, Kylie ‘n Amber. It’s gonna be funzo. So, I just wanted you guys to know when I was leaving. I wont be back until next Saturday night. I love you all! Call anytime between 10:30-7:30 am. Love you SO much! ❤ Hil
