| *edit* my xanga has died...and i have moved on...i'm not updating anymore.
if you need to contact me...email me...or i got a facebook...they are better and take up less of my time.*
my sister and I went to the mall the other day. we went to jc penny. and we were looking at shirts and we found a really really cute one that we both liked and it was on sale if we bought two. so we tried it on, and i ended up having to get an extra large. isn't that ridiculous? i'm not talking about my size...i'm talking about the size of the shirts. a medium is considered "average", but a medium won't even fit on the majority of the girls out there, what does that try to tell us? either that we're so big we can't even fit in the "average" size...or that in order to "be excepted" or be "average" we need to dress less modest.
who defines the what "average" is? why do they think that they could make me feel any less confident about the size that i am just because jc penny started making their sizes smaller than they should be?
i mean really! i'm comfortable with the size that i am and just because i'm wearing and extra large doesn't make me feel ugly for fat or anything. and that's sick...for the stores to want to make girls dress immodestly...
*sigh* i can't stand that...and i can't stand that it's working too. i was reading in 1 peter the other day...it was wonderful..you have to read this part:
6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
i love that...the first verse is the best though. i actually just started reading 1 peter....but it's so good..i'm enjoying it.
i was reading a few of the small books...that are only like...1 chapter long...and i read like..obidiah, and philemon..i think. those were good too. i like those. i'm at the costellos house right now..but gretchen is in the shower and i'm bored. haha
lots of people went to kids camp to be counslers...like becca and robbie and dillon and sarah...ah! i miss them all already! gah!!! i wanna see pictures and hear storys!!
love you all.

| I have absolutly nothing to update about. i am sorry.
monday was physical therapy...it was hard and fun...as always.
tuesday i took the class so i can now use the weight room. *woot* for me.
and today is wednesday, went up to the ymca at about 10...stayed there until 4:30, came home...then later went to youth group. (thank you dillon for the chocolate  )
and that's just about it....i'm home now.
sunday is the first sunday of the month...
*edit* this post is stinky so i'm adding on to it.
today, i went out to the garden. and we had an over abundance of jalopenos and habenaros (one of the worlds hottest peppers) so i picked a few and went back inside. i got out some crackers and cream cheese and sliced up and jalopeno....gave it to my dad and he ate it. he said it wsn't that hot. so i ate some...and it wasn't at all. then we ate a bigger piece and i could taste it alittle bit.
but then we sliced up the habenaro. hehe this is were all the trouble started. (just so you all know, the seeds in the pepper are the really really hot part...really really haha and the top of the peppper is the hottest) at first i wasn't even going to eat any. but my dad told me i should so i did....and i couldn't even taste it. then he gave me a piece with seeds and from the top.....oh my. it was um.....just alittle hot...lol...
wow.....it was spicey...and the thing with habenaros....they burn aaaallll the way down...so it wasn't just my tongue that was burning it was my throat too. haha yup. pretty darn tasty.
ok. that's my story for the day.
*edit again*
you know that old trick where you tell someone that they have something on their shirt and then you hit them in the nose when they look down at it? i got my dad and my brother today...hahahahaha good times good times.

a short, yet much needed update.
about my last post, it wasn't directed towards anyone and i didn't mean to
sound like a slap in the face. i simply started thinking and wrote down
my thoughts. but thank you for all your compliments on it.
i just think that God has blessed me tremendously and i have no reason that
would trump what he has done for me so much that i could be validly
depressed..or sad..or whatever.
moving on, i was sitting in my room today going through some VHS's (yes they do
still exist) that were in a bag. i found one that wasn't titled, so i stuck it
in my VHS player (yeah, they're still here too) and started watching it. it was
of me and my siblings at my aunt's house. i was about 3 drew was probably 5 and
ryan was 8. my aunt had dressed us all up and we were having a tea party. it is
hysterical. i wish there was some way that i could get it on here so you all
could watch. after the tea party..we started dancing..hahahaha..
then the video cut out and went to me when i was about 5 and i'm standing in my aunt living room. my aunt was taping me just standing there while she was on the phone...i was wearing some weird hat with some odd necklace thing and you can hear my aunt say "i'm taping em in her hillbillie attire" haha it was great.
then it went back till i was about 3 at a share fair. i was reciting a psalm..it was great.
it started raining really hard today...really really hard.
i started to go out in it but my dad told me that that was stupid and i had to go back inside.
alright so i'm out of things to update about..

i don't like how people can just be so immature. they are so
fickle in all their emotions. they take every little thing so
seriously. sometimes people need to suck it up and realize it's not all
about them. they think that just because everything isn't absolutely
perfect that their life will end. they have to have everything going
exactly the way they want it to. if it's not going that way then life
sucks. even when they can be so fickle and immature and selfish...they
are so self righteous at the same time. they think themselves better
than others. they never stop to think that maybe they might be wrong
about something. they're opinion is always the right one. they preach
to others about their opinions when they don't even follow what they
say.
they blow every little thing out of proportion. every little bump
in the road...they make it look like they can never go on. can never
just roll with the punches. they can't handle the trials God gives
them. they never stop to to think about how easy they really do have
it. they're selfish. they don't turn to God with their troubles. they
try to deal with it themselves. and then get mad when they can't handle
it.
they
let their emotions get the best of them. they like to be sad, angry,
depressed. because that gives them a reason to whine. everything could
be going perfectly for them and they would still find something to
complain about. they're so immature and selfish. they try to find the
bad things in people and in life. they never look for the good in
anything or anyone. they like finding the bad things in situations and
people because that gives them something to complain about.
their longing to have everything going exactly their way makes
them a pain to be around. they choose to make everyone around them
miserable.they don't try to be a light to everyone. they dampen
everyones spirits. they make everyone miserable. no one likes to have
them in their company. no one likes to be around them. they bring an
angry, selfish and depressing mood to everyone around them. they like
to have things all about them selves. if the only way to do that is to
make everyone miserable. then that's what their gonna do.
they're ungrateful. very few people have as good of a life as they
do. but they still complain about how hard their life is. they just
can't take the fact that there are other people in this world who have
harder lives than them. and that they should really be greatful for how
easy they have it.
they're immature in their judgment making. they make decisions on
whims, and don't stop to actually think about what they're doing.
they're annoyingly stubborn. even when they're obviously wrong about
something. they just can't admit they made a mistake, they have to
prove to you that they are right and you are wrong. whatever it takes
to do this..they'll do it.
they're self-centered and conceded. they walk around with their
nose in the air. thinking that they are, in some way, higher than
everyone else..better. not realizing that there is someone who is
better than them too. better than everyone. He's up there watching
their every move...seeing how they're thinking. and yet they still find
some way to not be humbled by this thought.
they are selfish..immature..fickle..and just down right mean. they
don't think about the words they use. they don't think before they
speak. and they don't stop to think about the affect their words are
having on someone.
i don't want to be like this..anyone
who is like this is missing out on so much in their life. i feel sorry
for the people who are like this.
i want to be the person that people see Christ in. i want to be
the person that when i walk by..people see something different in. i
don't mean that i'll be liked by everyone. but my role model is
Christ. therefore i will never have to stop working on who i am. i will
always have flaws and i will always make mistakes.
but i want to be a bridge to Christ for all those who don't know
him. i want them to look at me and want what i have. i want them to see
the joy and the love, kindness and forgiveness of Christ in me.
I
want to be able to except everyone. just as Christ excepted me. i'm not
here to judge, that is not my purpose. my purpose is to go out into all
the world and spread the love of our savior. i want people to see me
humbled before the throne. i want people to want to serve who i serve.
i don't want to be perfect. i want people to see me fail and sin, but then see the forgiveness i have from God.
I want to be like Christ.
I just finished reading Acts. it was good. I liked it alot.
I'm about half way through Psalms. i loooove the Psalms. every single one of them is like a prayer in it self. they're wonderful.

| Today is a saturday. I like saturdays. they're always more fun than any other day of the week.
Thursday I had physical therapy agian. It was really really hard, but so much fun. The three ladies that were there are so much fun to be around. not to mention they're absolutly hilarious. so it was difficult, but their humor made up for that.
after that i went home and just acted lazy for awhile. that was good. then i went to see oceans 13 with some really awesome people. the movie was good too. i had seen 11 and 12...but i had watched them backwards (yes i did that on purpose) so it was kind of hard to get some of what was going on in 13. It was still really good though. really funny. i liked it.
Then yesterday i came to the costello's at about 7..for a bible study...then spent the night here.
And that's where i am now. sitting on their couch. we're gonna paint today. fun.
ok i'll probably post more later..(like i always do) but right now i'm out of things to say. | | |
