emerald pointe! (:

i've been wanting to put some pics up on here for awhile, so the other day some friends and me went to emerald pointe! here are some pictures.
mikaela and wesley...
mikaela and me.
 casandra and me.
this was just the beginning of our powdered sugar fight. lol
mikaela finally decided to just throw the plate of powdered sugar on wesley. haha (:
fun times indeed!
only one person was missing from the day...maybe before summer ends.

blink.

I really like the lyrics to the following song...."blink"

Teach me to number my days
And count every moment before it slips away
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this


It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

When it's all said and done
No one remembers how far we have run
The only thing that matters is how we have loved
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

Slow down, slow down
Before today becomes our yesterday
Slow down, slow down
Before you turn around and it's too late

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

life...

hey everyone...I know that it has been forever since i've posted something on here. tonight as I sit here on my bed, with my laptop, I just can't help but thank God for the home he has given me, and the jobs he has blessed my parents with to be able to give me a home. As I sit here and think about the families in Haiti that are hurting from the devastating earthquake that hit, I can't help but feel blessed for what I have. There are so many people in that country tonight that don't have a place to lay there head tonight. As I am soo tired tonight from only getting a little sleep last night,the stresses of school, and basketball practice, I know that I have a home and bed to lay down in tonight. there are people in my community that don't have a house to go to. As my feet and legs are killing me tonight, it also reminds me of the pain that Jesus went through to save us from our sins. The pain that I am feeling is nothing to the pain He endured for me. When hectic weeks occur from school and basketball games and many other things, I seem to feel like I am holding the whole world on my back...but if I think about it, I have to remind myself that Jesus carried everyone's sins on His back the day that he allowed the men to crucify Him to the old rugged cross. He could have said NO i'm not going to, but He loved me and you sooooo much that He allowed them to. From that, if we believe on Him and believe that He died for our sins, we can be freed from our sins. When you feel that you are holding the whole world on your back, just give it over to God...just as I find myself doing when I feel overwhelmed by the stresses life throws at me. I heard a friend say..."life is tough, but God is tougher," and that is what we need to remember. God is always there for us when we need him!! :)
