It's been an eternity.  Unfortunately, xanga has been abandoned by so many, I guess including myself. 

Life is strange.  It requires faith and it requires strength.  It is full of twists and turns and changes that don't always seem to be fitting or accurate. It is beautiful and it is challenging; its a game. God is the leader of the game, and we are the pieces he created.  He wants us to help him win the battle against Satan and sin.  We are here in life to follow God and do whatever He wants in order to make the battle easier against evil.  Even though the things that we must endure are not always easy, they always have a purpose and they always are tests to help us grow.  With faith and trust in God, everything we ever want and more will be given to us.  God is the King and He will protect us and He will bless us and He will always love us.  Forever and ever.

Now and then, I find it hard to remember what I really am here for.  Like now, I am sorta stuck in an emotional rut.  And I have good reason to be.  However I never have any reason to lose trust in God.  He will always be there to listen to my troubles.  My life is not about me, it is about God.

What ever is meant to happen will happen.

His love endures forever.

The first step to getting what you want out of life is this:
decide what you want.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give.

  "A friend is always good to have,
but a lover's kiss is better than angels raining down on me."

I love life

Whats meant to be will always
find a way.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
 
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything. Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. Love is truly a beautiful dream.

Love is also a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. And it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. 
  
The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.
Alter your attitude and you can alter your life. 
 
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.
 
Nobody gets to live life backward. So look ahead,
because that is where the future lies. <3
  
SO, School is almost over. Summer is almost here.
My research paper is almost done and over with.
I am almost .5 of a shade tanner than I was in January.
...the beach....
ALMOST.

The end of the year is always a sweet time.  Everything is really laid-back and relaxed and although there are few pressing stressful school related issues and all that (which is expected), I am smiling most of the time and I like the happy time of excitement I am a part of right now...since there are around 10-12 ish days left. And my family is good right now and my dog is lazy and overweight, but he's happy too! Oh my...


But anyway, its a beautiful day,
I'm in a beautifully fulfilling cheery mood,
all is well.
 
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
Have a supercalifragalisticexpialidocious day, week, month!
SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER

Once again, it has been a long time!

But I feel like informing the world about my life.
Because right now, I'm a freshman at Garden Spot High and now its already the 4th quarter and this first year of high school. And JOE-JOE wow, an awesome kid.
At the beginning of high school I was so scared of the whole thing but I've grown a lot this year and I've learned a lot. I really can't complain at all (well I can, but I decided that I won't for the sake of whoever is reading this).  With the hard times that I've had, there are so many more memories that pull me through.
  
And it's spring now and I'm running my butt off in track and I hope and hope and hope that I can be of some importance and contribute some points to the GS Girls Track Team this season!  It's good to have goals.  And in english class the gayest thing in the world is taking place, RESEARCH PAPER, but I love research papers so I'm still happy. And supportive friends and a lot of birthday celebrations for all of them and seeing them at school and gym class soccer and watching baseball (yes, baseball) and the way that my top locker section doesn't close right and never has and never will, yeah all that stuff gives me reasons to smile through the day.

All in all, life is GOOD.

Here are the AAU volleyball girls (well some of them!)
Everyone looks really happy for being at a volleyball tournament

 
And in all this lack of updation, both myself and Christy have turned one year older and one year wiser. And you know Christy is wiser by the wonderful look on her happy 11-year-old face!

So now, ahead we have more track! And it's hard but I like it.
And what else, GSPA show tomorrow, that's fun!
And Easter is coming up soon. Happy Amazing Easter!!!

So perfect in every way.

I'm really glad that I'm alive.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the next 2 months of life!
Actually, that will definitely be, like, SUMMER.

te quiero mucho.

Where so ever you go, go with all your heart.
And once it's set free, if its meant to be,
love will return.

Life is beauty.
Beauty is the sparkle in your eyes as you gaze at the gorgeous stars on a summer night, the sun shimmering off the oceans as it peeks over the horizon, the feelings of love you encounter as you kiss someone you care about for all eternity, and the wonderful Heavens and the God that lives there and watches over us all.

We live in a beautiful world. Open your eyes and really see it,
because it is unbelievably refreshing.


Yay for my first xanga entry in the year 2006!
I guess it has been quite a long time...

Snowball and friends and getting ready for Snowball and friends

  
and then there's that special kid. the one who I admire beyond comprehension.
and his amazing athletic skills. #14
and his amazing plain old awesomeness skills too.
and the fact that tomorrow is his birthday! such a miraculous person.

so, BASKETBALL = done.
fun season with the best girls that make me "giggle".

and now, track is approaching. in 3 weeks?!!?!?  (scared for sure)
But with that comes spring, even though the ground is not visible right now because of pretty snowflakes.
But yes, as I was saying, its coming. track and spring. coming!

So everything is wonderful.
I truly hope you all can say the same.

Happy Valentine's Day, Happy Birthday Joejoe, oh my.
