So many things happen in life and I believe that we really don't have control over everything.
It's just the facts
But here's the good news:
We have control over ourselves.
Once we gain the value of self-control, our lives will change. You no longer will be faced with as many problems and complications as you once were. And when you are faced with the various things, you will know how to handle it in a way that will make people think.
Think about it..
Are there any situations that you possibly could have started?
Or on the other hand are there any problems you could have added to?
Ahh,I'm mostly talking to myself tonight. I'm so quick to catch an attitude even if I don't show it.
What a bad habbit?

I smiled when I read this scripture and gave a big thank you to God for letting me come across it on my way to school. You see, just like the rest of you, I struggle with my self esteem. I want to be popular, I want to be cool, and I want to be considered beautiful by the kids in my High School. Who doesn't? I know it's even harder in Middle School, when kids are even less accepting of those that differ from them. I've been there, and I still am. Yet this scripture really encouraged me, and I hope it encourages you as well. It basically means that favor, or popularity isn't always as great as it seems. Beauty is nice, but in God's eyes...worthless-or at least the kind of beauty that this world emphasizes. It's only the young ladies that fear God, live for him, and do his will that will be praised, or respected and honored. We see this happening all around us. If you were honest with yourself, you'd probably easily see that you have a lot more respect from the kids at school, than some of the so called pretty, popular girls that dress scantily and act in a way that's displeasing to God. So I encourage each of you, to hold your head high in school. It's not favor/popularity, beauty/looks, that define you, but your fear/respect of God. I leave you with this question. Are you setting yourself up for a life of deceit, a life of vain, or a life of praise?" |
Ohh man,what a wet and soggy day for us New Yorkers?
I'm doing pretty swell today, I suppose. A load of homework, but overall, I'm okay.
Happy Friday sweeties!
Thanks to those who did it.How sweet are ya'll?!?!
I was in soo much pain today. I just wanted to go home, but for some reason I didn't.I'm still looking for my "dream job" it hasn't came just yet.
If you're still reading this you must be completely bored.
Nooo,I do not have some interesting thing to talk about.All I'm doing is blowing smoke out of behind, honestly.
Last night I had the weirdest dream.I was driving and out of know where, paparazi comes and starts to take my picture. I was blinded by all of the flashing lights. It was horrible lol.
Well I'm going to go to sleep for a bit. Then do my research report,gross.
Cheers
I can't believe that my cousin is doing so badly that her mother is thinking about sending her away. I think if worst comes to worst, my mom is going to let her move in with us. I mean I went on vacation with this girl, she's my same age..It'd be fun. I don't know. I'm just so confused on this whole thing. Ehh..I just got comfortable with my room too. Oh well.
School tomorrow; blah. We were off today. Thank God. I still didn't do the part of my research report that's due tomorrow.
Oh well, I'll finish it before I go to bed; while watching Family Guy.
I have to deal with one of my creepo teachers tomorrow. Beautiful..a full period of just me and him.
Grand.
Well it's just 4 days.
Goodnight ya'll <3

For me, just even THINKING about letting go, is hard.
Learning how to give up control is even harder....
I made up my mind not to let myself become sick over worrying.
In a course of a lifetime, what does it really matter?
I'm not saying that I want to become a full-blown bohemian or anything...
I just want to be care free...
Free to live,love,and enjoy life.
No matter the circumstances.
I can't believe you thought I was gone! I wasn't. Instead I was at the picture posted above. Take a guess of where this is. No,it's not Rhode Island. What I can tell you though is that I did bring a bathing suit and had a very nice vacation!Update:I guess I'm going to MA.Beautiful.
As I was cleaning today, I realized that I was practicing the same routine that I obtained since friday (wake up,clean,feed a family member,clean,answer the phone,take care buisness accounts,etc). I guess I now know how difficult it can be for homemakers.I mean,I already knew they had extremely hard jobs, I just didn't know to what extent. I have no idea why they are so unappreciated.
Well my grandmother's PT will be here soon..better get the floor vaccumed.
