A Not-So-Bouncy Weekend...

This weekend was fun.. But not what I had planned. I had planned for me, Michael, my mother and all my younger siblings to go to SixFlags on Saturday, however, that didn't exactly happen.. Instead, Michael and I went to SixFlags by ourselves, and my family went somewhere else..
Now, that sounds like loads of fun, right? A day spent just with Michael, no little kids, no mom, awesome, right? WRONG! Michael and I both got sick, hot and tired! Michael threw up and I nearly snizzed my brains out, and coughed my lungs up! So we went home.. Now, don't get me wrong, it was fun, just not as much fun as it could have been. Plus, people were so rude! They walked all over us, pushed us aroundand all kinds of other stupid things, it made Michael so mad that I thought he was going to hit someone! But we had fun. Michael rode the Georgia schorcher with me, and the Mindbender. We also rode the swings (lolz) and one of the water rides.. It was so packed that we didn't get to ride much. (That didn't upset Michael a bit! lolz) Michael doesn't really like roller coasters, but I do! That's probably why he got so sick... :/

Right after the water ride((:
Sitting around.
Awe! I get kisses!

Just being weird..


And again, being goofy! I love when he's goofy((:
Michael came back to my house for supper, and that was nice.. Until I realized....
" HOLY CRAP, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE AT MARY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY RIGHT NOW!!!"
Yes, I had completely forgotten about my best friends birthday party that night! I was supposed to be there at 6:00pm, and it was already 8:30pm! So I sent Michael home and got over there as quickly as I could.. But that wasn't good enough for Mary, she sure was upset! It tured out that her birthday party had not gone her way at all.. You see, it actually started at 12:00pm, but I had already planned SixFlags before she planned her party, so she knew I'd be late..But hardly any of her other friends showed up.. :/ Just R.J and two girls that me and her both know, Allyssa and Kelly. Kelly stayed the night, as well as me, and then we went to church the next morning..
Church was nice, very nice actually, however, our lesson was very short, and then.... I started feeling sick again! Horridly sick :/ So, I called my mom, and she didn't answer! So I hung out at the park with Mary, Kelly and Michael, and that was fun.. Plus, the fresh air made me feel lots better!
I liked this picture.
Kelly took this one for us((: like my church dress? lolz
Kelly took this one too.
So, I took pictures for Mary of her and R.J, but they're on her memory card, which I don't have! So I can't put them on here :/ But anyways, when we went to the park, Mary took a bunch of pictures of me and Michael<3
We were being goofy :P

Big smiles! I only smile that way when I'm with him <3

I...Gets...KISSES!!!!!!
Cute, right?? :P
I love you <3
One of my favorites <3
He was attacting me with kissies!!
That makes me giggle!
lolz. Ahhh! He;s attacting me :P
All and all, it was an alright weekend, even though I was sick. I totally made the best of it.
Mine<3

Michael's <3
 I made the two pictures above. One for myself, and one for Michael(: Cute, right??
Well, everyone have a blessed day <3

Sorry I'm Late

Hey, so I know I haven't posted in a little while, but I haven't had time since the storms.. Plus, I've been sick. Anyways, in Alabama, White and a few other places, a really bad storm hit, and a lot of people got hurt.. Luckily I'm not really around those parts, but so many people were right in the middle of it! There are people who didn't even get their power back on until Saturday night, and the storms had hit on Wednesday..! It's terrible.

Horrible to see....
It's so horrible just to see and think about the things that these people are going through. I have friends there in Alabama and White, so I know the feeling. Luckily, I didn't lose any loved ones, but so many others did.. I am starting an entirely new blog just to talk about this. Actually, to talk about all storms, and disasters in the US, because I want to help these people. Just imagine being perfectly fine on Tuesday, then by Thursday you realize that you have nothing at all anymore.. And all of you that were not effected by the storms, I'm sure you could help? An hour of your time, or maybe some old clothes that you were going to throw away, give that..
These people lost everything, therefore they need EVERYTHING. Fine my new blog, it's godbewithme.blogspot.com
May God be with all of them.. Please.

Candy! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

So, today was Easter Sunday, one of the most important  religious holidays.. The day that Jesus Christ rose from the grave and stayed alive just long enough to tell everyone what they needed to know, then he descended into the sky, body and all..

Jesus was put to death on the cross, then three days later, arose, as he had already told His disciples he would.
There were two other men that Jesus was crucified with, however, their names are not said in the Bible. They were two thieves. Hard to believe that our Lord was on a cross next to two mere thieves..


Just think though, think of everyone you know, would any of them actually die for you??
And how many of them would you actually die for??
Now, I'm sure about 50% of people are thinking "Yeah, if it really came down to it, I could die for him/her." Or "Yeah, they'd die for me, I'm sure, they love me!"
and I'm sure they love you, and you love them, and maybe you could take a bullet for them, I don't know, I'm not you. However, how many of you would be beaten, tortured, spat on, called names, teased, mocked, and then horribly placed on a cross, where they drove nails through your feet and hands, and then left you there to bleed to death (Or otherwise die slowly), just for someone that you know?
I'm sure a good few of you just lowered your hands, huh?
Well Jesus Christ did that, just for us! People who hated him, people who he had never even met before.
I hate to say it, but I probably could not do all of that for very many people that I know.. Maybe my family, and my boyfriend, but only maybe..

 
Yes, Jesus loves you THAT much!
 

This is a great song that tells about Jesus' love.


Well, on another topic, I got to see Michael today(:
We went to the lake with my family(: We did our Easter egg hunt there. Michael and I helped hide the prize eggs (The ones with money in them) and then we led my little sister, Madi Rose around. Madi Rose loves Michael, a lot.
But anyways, we had a nice time.

Our heart((: I did one half, he did the other!
We were being kind of goofy most of the time, running around chasing each other, being loud and rough, it was fun!
Michael acts like a four year old when he has candy.. And I gave him LOTS of candy! Weeee!!! lolz. So he chased me.. A LOT.

Then we calmed down a little before we left.

Prayer hands<3

My God's Not Dead, He's Surely Alive.

So, today in our youth group we talked about the resurrection of Jesus, again. We were reading the book of Acts, so I'm going to let you read it(:

 Acts 1: 1-11

 1-5Dear Theophilus, in the first volume of this book I wrote on everything that Jesus began to do and teach until the day he said good-bye to the apostles, the ones he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven. After his death, he presented himself alive to them in many different settings over a period of forty days. In face-to-face meetings, he talked to them about things concerning the kingdom of God. As they met and ate meals together, he told them that they were on no account to leave Jerusalem but "must wait for what the Father promised: the promise you heard from me. John baptized in water; you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit. And soon."
 6When they were together for the last time they asked, "Master, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now? Is this the time?"
 7-8He told them, "You don't get to know the time. Timing is the Father's business. What you'll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world."
 9-11These were his last words. As they watched, he was taken up and disappeared in a cloud. They stood there, staring into the empty sky. Suddenly two men appeared—in white robes! They said, "You Galileans!—why do you just stand here looking up at an empty sky? This very Jesus who was taken up from among you to heaven will come as certainly—and mysteriously—as he left."


Now, this is talking about the last few things that Jesus did with everyone. The Bible plainly states that Jesus ate, and walked and talked just like everyone else when he was resurrected. He probably even used the restroom, just like the rest of us. That's interesting to think, right? That seriously, in all points, God himself, lived just like us.. And died just like us.
Well, actually, he probably died worse than any of us will, and for nothing. Jesus Christ NEVER sinned, not even once, yet we sin everyday, but no one hangs us on a cross, beats us, spits on us, curses us, mocks us, then leaves us for dead.. Even though we deserve it much more than Jesus did. I have the perfect song about that too. It's called "Jesus Paid It All"

You see what I mean? Jesus not only died for us though, he rose again for us! How many people can actually say that someone besides Jesus died, then rose again for them!? huh? No one. Easter is probably one of the most important religious holidays, probably even more important than Christmas, because EVERY great leader was born, but only ONE rose again(:

And of course, Michael and I spent a few minutes together, but only a few :/
Which SUCKS because Michael and I really needed some time together.. You see, we got into an argument last night, and it did not start out, or really end so well.. There was a lot of hurt feelings, and way too many tears.. )): But in the end we pretty much patched things up, but I'm afraid they might be patched with garments that already have holes in them.. I pray that Michael and I can stick it out, I really do love him.. I love him with all my heart..

Well, that's all I have to say for tonight, sorry it's kind of short. But remember, Jesus loves you! And Jesus is King(: Have a blessed night.

Smells Like Disaster/Just A Day With You.

Okay.. So I went to prom with Chris.. and it was TERRIBLE! I did not have any fun at all. I missed Michael, the music was lame and Chris wouldn't stop touching me!

My mommy said "At least pretend that you like each other!"
 So I pretended...
And he wouldn't quit touching me... Now, don't get me wrong, Chris is a nice guy, but he's just not my guy!
The dance was boring :/ I hardly knew anyone there, so I spent most of my time just sitting in a chair.. Chris wouldn't dance with me, and the ONE time he did, he made it so awkward! We danced to the song "Are you gonna kiss me or not" by "Thompson Square"



I didn't get home till after midnight either.. So I was SO tired at church the next morning :/ Just remember everyone, it's not a crime to say "NO!"

My dress.


I did my hair myself.

My hair and the corsage that Chris' mom got me. (I did my hair myself)

So, even though I was REALLY sleepy on Sunday, I still made the most of our church service and the rest of my day(: Michael and Mary both came to my house after church, but Mary ended up..Uhhh... Not "Feeling well", so she went home.. My family was supposed to have our Easter get together yesterday, but my Uncle Brandon and Aunt Kristen couldn't come, so we're waiting till next Sunday.
(Which is actually Easter)

Michael and I just basically spent the entire day just hanging around at my house.


Just sitting around.

We watched a movie
(The Hot Chick. It was actually a really funny movie about a girl who switches bodies with some creepy robber guy lolz) Then we went outside and played on my trampoline. We wrestled around and things like that, mostly just being goofy.


He was standing up against the tree in my front yard (I was in the tree)

We were just being silly, laying around on the trampoline.
It really was a fun day. Michael didn't leave my house till around nine that night, so that was pretty nice(: Anyways, In our Sunday school class we were reading the last four chapters of Romans, (but we only got up to, like, the end of 13 lolz) and Ms. Jody continued talking about the Tree of life and the K.G.E (knowledge of good and evil) but honestly, it was hard to follow what she was saying because "some kids" in our group weren't listening.. But we all listened when she started talking about Easter. I learned new things. I thought that when Jesus arose from the dead, that it was JUST him, but apparently a lot of other people did as well? This I had never heard.. And I am not actually sure I did understand it. But either way, we kind of went from talking about the resurrection, to talking about zombies.. And you know how hard it is to get teenagers off the subject of zombies! Anyways, maybe Wednesday will be a better day to talk about God's message with you guys.. But I do have some scripture for you!
Romans 13: 1-14 I hope everyone has a very blessed day! Jesus loves you(:

Prom.......Without My Boyfriend...?!

Oh geeze... So, I told my friend Chris that I would go to prom with him (Whoopy!) and now I actually have to go.. It's not that I don't like Chris and I'm more than happy to help a good friend out, however, it might be a little awkward slow dancing with him.. I've known Chris since December of 2009, so it's not like I don't know him well, but me and him did date on and off for a little while last year, so I'm a little worried about him getting the wrong idea. Chris is a great person. He has a kind heart, and he isn't easily angered, well, actually, it's VERY hard to anger him. He reminds me slightly of a robot.. He's stiff and emotionless, and I wonder sometimes if he goes home and plugs himself in. Maybe instead of having a penis, he has a cord that he plugs into the wall and when his parents knock on his door and say "Chris, what are you doing?" He replies "Umm.. I'm taking some time to myself!" lolz I know it's kind of mean, but it's true.. the acting like a robot part, not the plugging himself in part.

Well, anyways, so prom is this Saturday, and I'm STRESSED! I've got my dress, and my shoes, I can do my hair by myself and makeup isn't an issue.. The problem is, I'd rather be doing so many other things with my Saturday night! I mean, like I said before, I DO care about Chris, just not in a romantic way, and prom is definitely romantic :/

Now, luckily, Michael is alright with me going, because he trusts me and Chris, but that doesn't mean he's very happy about it... But can you blame him?! I would NOT be happy if he wanted to take some girl to prom!.. But it's not like I'm going to fall madly in love with Chris and leave Michael for him, OR mess around with Chris in ANY way. Chris and I are just good friends, let's just pray that we get through this night in one piece..

This is my prom dress. Isn't it interesting?

He's the back! Cool, right?

Eggs---actly What I Needed To Hear!

Well, as you know I go to church on Wednesday nights, and tonight I needed our lesson. I actually learned something that I did not know. Okay, so we're talking about Easter Sunday, because as I'm sure you know, it is next Sunday! (That's the point of my goofy post title) Now, a lot of people (Children and Adults) celebrate Easter, without actually knowing what the point of it is.. A lot of people are worshipping a big, creepy bunny rabbit that brings candy and toys, and we hide eggs, but for no reason... As a matter of fact, the eggs don't make ANY sense to me at all, because Jesus didn't even so much as eat eggs during the last supper, or anything.. We just do that for fun. But anyways, Easter Sunday is about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's about how Jesus died, and then came back to life! I mean, c'mon, did the Easter Bunny die, then come back after three days? I think not! We also talked about the fact that our God is still alive.. how could we count on an unliving God? He can't be there for us, he can't help us thru things, he can't even say that everything is going to be okay.. An unliving God is nothing, but my God, our God, is a living God. And I have a song that will tell you guys a little bit about that.
  
Now, of course, after church Michael and I spent a little bit of time together(:
You see Ramon being a creeper in the background? lolz
We only got to spend around twenty minutes or so with each other before he left.


Michael told me that I look beautiful in this picture.. that just made my night <3
Me, Michael and Ramon goofed off outside the church for a little while.
Ramon took this picture.. I told him to not try and be a photographer..lolz

Brothers till the end.. For real! lolz
All and all, today was nice.. Everyone had a nice night at church, and Michael and I were very happy to see each other. If you've ever truly been in love, then you know how it is, how much you miss that person.. How it NEVER seems like you see them enough. -sighs- But I suppose we'll live through the hard times apart. lol
Well, I hope everyone has a blessed night, and remember, Jesus Loves You(:
