The story of true love

The reason behind my blog and the background is overall because God is my rock and my fortress and in Him I can do anything even though I'm young and society looks down on the younger generations, I am here to change expectations to point towards God's glory, I rebel against low expectations because God made me not to take the easy way out but to do the hard things in life because as Alex and Brett Harris say "Do Hard Things" and also they say anything worth having is hard so join me in this and Do Hard Things!


John 3:16- For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Day 281: Blessed Day

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning after getting to sleep in. Then I did a little bit of my schoolwork that I wanted to get done before spring break next week. So I got all of that done and then this afternoon I talked to one of my friends on the phone. Then I studied all afternoon for my math test tomorrow so I have officially studied for the test for the last 4 days so I pray that I do well on it. Right now, I am just watching Remember the Titans and waiting for my dinner to cook. I am also hoping that tomorrow before school that I can hang out with my awesome group of friends at the park for some frisbee practice and just some time to hang out. My week has been so amazing, just growing closer and closer to my group of friends and my family and just realizing the many blessings in my life that God has sent into my life. It is truly amazing to see and live through.

Day 280: Game Day

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up early this morning to work price changes and put a bunch of limited quantity stuff on some of the empty racks. Then I came home and studied all afternoon as well as talked to a friend of mine on the phone which was a lot of fun. Now I am just studying some more before going to class in about an hour for a couple of hours. Then after that, we will be having another game night with a bunch of our awesome friends. I love hanging out with these awesome people. They make me laugh so hard and make my life so enjoyable. God has truly blessed me with some amazing friends that I just feel so comfortable around all the time. I am also excited because soon I will be going to the beach with those same friends for spring break, it will be a lot of fun. I am just awed by how God knew exactly what kind of friends I would enjoy having in my life. He truly blessed me so much with these people and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Day 279: Study and Work

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning after sleeping in. I studied for my math test on Thursday for a little while today and also yesterday afternoon. Then I went out to lunch with my sister and my dad. After that, I stopped and got myself an ankle brace because the last 2 weeks after frisbee, I have had a sore left ankle so I am trying to make it so that doesn't happen again. Then I came home, finished getting ready for work then headed off to work for the afternoon. It was a nice short 4 hour shift that went by really quickly. Then I came home, ate homemade macaroni, sausage, braut and cabbage that my parents made for dinner and it was so yummy. Now I am just chilling at home for the evening, going to bed soon and watching some t.v. at the moment. It has been a nice, relaxing day.

Day 278: A Great Sunday :)

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning and got ready for my day. It was rather cold today and so I wore a sweater all day today. I taught my sunday school class this morning and had a good time teaching the kids. I have some of the best kids in my sunday school class, so entertaining and adorable. Then after that, I had a good time in the worship service where my dad did a great job speaking and teh whole service went very well. Then, we went out to lunch as a family with a couple from my church for some pizza and wings. Now I am just chilling at home until work tonight where I will be doing ad-set which I haven't done in awhile. I am going to take a nap soon then do some studying before work. It has been a great day and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Frisbee went really well last night as well and then we went out with a group of friends afterwards which was such a fun time. My awesome friends always know how to put a smile on my face.

Then she found out her score on her math test which I'm not going to give away, I want her to have a chance to tell people first. Then I worked for 4 hours this afternoon. I was almost late to class because the person supposed to replace me at the register was late but I made it to school safe and sound and was there for 4 hours after work. We got a lot accomplished in my classes and then I came home, ate some dinner my mom made and just relaxed the rest of the night at home. It was a nice ending to my day.

Day 273: Not So Fun Day and Fun Day

Today was not such a great day. This morning, I woke up got ready for church then I broke up with James. It just wasn't the right relationship for me and was causing tension in my family. My family is important to me so it was tough for awhile. It wasn't fun but I feel like it was for the best and this was supposed to happen somehow. God is in control though and I trust He has somebody in mind for me. After that rough time, it was nice to fellowship with friends and my family at church then one of my awesome friends came to church and then out to lunch with my sister and I which cheered me up a lot. My sister and this friend are really like my best friends and it it awesome to hang out with both of them, they really know how to cheer me up. Church and sunday school went really well and lunch was a lot of fun. Now I am just chilling at home tonight and moving on with life with God by my side.

Day 272: Busy Day At Work

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning and got ready for my day because I had to work this afternoon. Then I talked to James on the phone for a bit. After that, I went off to work where it was crazy busy this afternoon. It was hard to feel like I was accomplishing anything today because as soon as I'd clean out one of the fitting rooms it would be a mess again. Oh well, we always have a few of those days where everything is a mess. We just got to push through and work together to get it done. Now I am just chilling at home until playing some ultimate frisbee with my friends tonight. It will be a bunch of fun.

Day 271: The Rainy Day

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up after sleeping in yet again this morning from a phone call from James asking if he could take me out to lunch. So we went out to lunch and discussed a few things and had a really good discussion. It went well and we got a lot of things accomplished that needed to be said. Then after lunch, we just sat downtown and talked for like an hour and a half and got a lot of stuff said that needed to be said. Now I am just chilling at home until work in about half an hour. I have a long shift tonight so that'll be good on the paycheck.

Today has been a great day so far. I slept in this morning after dropping my brother off at work at 6 a.m. It felt nice to sleep in yet again. Then James called me to see if I wanted to hang out with him today. So we hung out this afternoon and had a lot of fun together. I am helping him look for a new motorcycle because his got stolen yesterday from work. Somebody just put it in the back of their car and drove off. The nerve of some people just taking somebody's possessions like that. Oh well, God is in charge and something good will come of this. All we have to do is believe that. Now I am chilling at home for a few minutes before heading off to school soon. I'm going to have class for 5 hours tonight woohoo.

We got a major amount of stuff accomplished but working on so little sleep was difficult. Then I went to school about an hour after work for 5 hours which made me even more tired. I kept having to move in my seat in my math class to keep myself awake. It had been a long day. Then I came home and got to talk to James for a little while so that was a nice ending to my day.

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up this morning to a call from James, my amazing boyfriend. Yesterday, we had a great talk with a couple about how to have a lasting relationship that is Christ centered and they gave us a lot of insight into that. After I got off the phone, I was going to sleep for about an hour more then decided to wake up and start my day off by finishing my homework that is due Friday and Sunday so I got all that done. Then I got ready for the day because James is coming over later to do a devotion with my dad and I. Then later on, he and I are both closing tonight at Kohl's. It has been so cool, I picked up 22 hours there this week and the week is only halfway over. I probably am not going to take anymore hours though because I only have one day off this week. Now I am just chilling at home until James comes over.
