All I know is that I find myself needing God more and more every day. He's pretty much the only "person" I can always depend on. He's never going to get tired of me bawling my eyes out and pouring out all of my feelings. He's never going to tell my secrets. If I hurt Him and ask for forgiveness, he won't hesitate to give it to me. He is my life, my all. Without Him, I don't even want to think about where I'd be right now. I'm not gonna lie, life has been kinda hard recently. And I haven't been the most joyful person. But I really am trying my best. I'm just not handling this very well. *sigh* Ps 66:2 Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious. But how can I sing for the glory of His name if I'm sad all the time? Exactly. So for all of y'all who just can't seem to get happy (myself included), remember this verse. In this morning's sermon, Mr. Emerson said something like, "It only takes people 2 minute... 2008-11-03 http://www.pleonast.com/user/lucky_7?l=5&entryID=579165 Our family got through the hurricane just fine. So many HUGE trees on our street, yet none of them fell. No water even close to our house. We were SO blessed. There are some that weren't so lucky. There's a list of people at our church who need help on his blog...Go check it out. Thank God if you're reading this, because it means you're alive. My grandma's doing great. She got out of the hospital last Wednesday, and she's just on a bunch of medication for her heart & her blood & such. So again we were VERY blessed with that. I'm so thankful. That being said, I'd really like for y'all to pray for me right now. Someone I'm very close to is going through a HUGE rough patch, and it's starting to affect this person's family & myself. I'm very worried. Pray for this person as well. I don't want to give any details on this blog because it's kind of a private situation, and I don't want to tell everyone on the internet...But I'd really appreciate it if y'all would do that for us.... 2008-09-23 http://www.pleonast.com/user/lucky_7?l=5&entryID=574054 Um. Hurricane Ike is headin' this way, as most of y'all know. Our schools get out at noon today, and they're closed until at least Monday. We're not evacuating, and my grandmother is currently in the hospital in Houston. Considering we probably won't have power beginning tomorrow night or Saturday morning, I thought I'd make a post before I have to head to school. I'll be praying and I hope y'all will as well. *crosses fingers* Hoping for the best here! I love you all. XoXo 2008-09-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/lucky_7?l=5&entryID=573078 It's already the 3rd week of school, and I'm trying not to spontaneously combust with all of this work, ha. It's hard to believe that I'll be working even harder in college. Do you college people get tons of work? But I know that, in the end, this will ALL be more than worth it. IF I can keep my sanity that is, haha. Because depending on the college I go to, I could have almost half of my freshman year done before I even get to college because of all this AP stuff I'm doing. I have 5 tests to take this year, and hopefully I'll do well enough on all of them to get college credit. Plus I have all my extracurricular activities to do as well. Our first football game was this last Friday, and we didn't do as well during halftime as our director had hoped. But this Friday is our first home game, so I'm hoping everyone will step up their game and perform their best. I really don't wanna be embarrassed, eek. Well I gotta go...More school stuff to do, wheeee. Not. ^_^ So I leave you with this... 2008-09-09 http://www.pleonast.com/user/lucky_7?l=5&entryID=565528 4 days until the first day of my last year of highschool. *sigh* I can't believe it. Seriously, like, this summer has FLOWN by...and I kinda want it back, haha. I'm going to be really super busy this year, but it's gonna be so much fun. Our first football game isn't for 2 weeks, and our first home game is in 3 weeks. So of course the band is working working working to get our show ready to perform. I'm so excited! So how about this rain??? Our power went out this morning for about half an hour or so, and the thunder has been rumbling all day so far. It's nice cozy weather, but I really wanna get out and do something. Oh well, I guess I should enjoy being lazy while I can, because it's all gonna change in about 4 days, haha. ^_^ *Wow I just spotted a pad of bright yellow post-it notes on the computer desk... Anyway...Um I'm so happy right now, and I owe that mostly to one person. You SHOULD know who you are, but you probably won't, haha. But in all seriousness, life is such a bless... 2008-08-21 http://www.pleonast.com/user/lucky_7?l=5&entryID=561748 How 'bout them cowgirls Boys ain't they somthin' Sure are some proud girls And you can't tell them nothin' And I tell you right now girls May just be seven wonders of this big, old round world But how 'bout them cowgirls *There's the chorus to that George Strait song you said you didn't know...So now you can't tell me you don't know the words...* So he told me that I needed to make a post dedicated to him, so here it is. Jonathan is totally one of my newest BFFs...He talks with me on the phone & even when I say something silly or there's like, a silence, I don't feel awkward. No matter if we're talking about James Blunt (haha) or whether football or baseball is better, I always have a good time. So yeah, Jonathan you're a pretty cool guy. And you make me laugh. (in a good way) Plus you play football, which is pretty cool. Now it's your turn. ^_^ Talk to ya in the morning. (And I don't have an anti-Jonathan thing going on with my Facebook silly) 2008-08-12 http://www.pleonast.com/user/lucky_7?l=5&entryID=561062 Thank all of you so much for all of the kind words...You really have no idea how much I appreciate them. Things have gotten so much better in the last 5 days, and I think it's all due to prayer. Just goes to show yet again that God will provide. Well it's like 11:20 at night & I should be in bed right now because it's been a busy week. Band camp started on Monday, and we've already got half of the first song done...I'm really excited about our show this year, even though the colorguard uniforms are going to look a bit silly (think purple & green, yikes!). ^_^ But anyway, it's been super hot outside (as y'all have all noticed), which doesn't make practice any easier. But it's been a lot of fun so far, and I love being captain! Well the whole reason I'm still up is that I'm just too excited to go to sleep. I'm just can't stop thinking, & my mind is moving at about 100,000 miles an hour. There are just so many things going through my head right now, & I can't even put ... 2008-08-10 http://www.pleonast.com/user/lucky_7?l=5&entryID=559000 *Lauren=feelin' pretty insecure right now* Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors, I don't wanna ever love another. It's hard to let go when the dull aching pain just keeps tearing at your chest... Guess I just like pain. I should let go. But I'm too selfish. I don't want to let go. I can't let go... Um...Just to let you know, you mean the world to me. You're my sunshine. Just seeing you brightens everything. And you don't even know, but sometimes just thinking about you helps me get through the pain. You're helping me let go, and start over. Ever been standing at the edge of a cliff, looking down, anxious, waiting...? I don't know whether to jump or turn around. Will you jump with me? Or let go of my hand and push me off? I guess there's only one way to find out, huh? I know I'm rambling. I know this doesn't make sense. But it's okay. I know what I'm saying. And it's nice to get it out there. Tell God you love Him every single day. Would you go a day without telling you... 2008-08-05 http://www.pleonast.com/user/lucky_7?l=5&entryID=555994 Ever feel like everything's all mixed up? Turned around? Upside down? Yeah, me too. Don't you just LOVE when the Devil holds back all of the crummy things that could happen to you and lets your life get fantastic, then let all of those bad things go to ruin it? *sigh* Well I only have about 3 and 1/2 weeks of summer left...But I start band camp on Friday...So, summer is quickly coming to a close & I'm about to start my senior year of highschool. Can you say NeRvOuS?!? It's just...I have a GIGANTO amount of stuff to do this year, & I know it's gonna be LOADS of fun, I'm just a teensy bit worried about juggling it all... Matthew 6:25, Matthew 6:25...I do believe that this will be my foundation for the next year. Because with God nothing is impossible, right? ^_^ (Lu 18:27) Weeellll, I'm about to go swimming so...later! ♥ Mucho Amor ♥ 2008-07-29 http://www.pleonast.com/user/lucky_7?l=5&entryID=547500 So my summer has been goin' pretty awesome so far. Camp was so much fun once I got there, and even more importantly, it really helped me grow in my faith. Now it's all about: *Babysitting (the little girl I babysit is a 5 year old me...I just love her!) *Summer reading (why do they have to give us the most BORING books to read??) *Chillin' (pretty much the best part of summer, right?) *Resisting the Devil (He pretty much won't let me go right now. It seems like he's just beating at me more than usual. Prayers appreciated.) *Rock Lock is this Friday/Saturday and I'm pretty psyched for that! I love all-nighters with my friends! *Our VBS is in like 3 weeks. I'm helping teach 4 & 5 year olds...wish me luck! *Band camp begins in 4 weeks. Yay for being out in the blazin' sun all day! ^_^ I just noticed that I use a lot of exclamation marks. I think it's because, despite everything that's been goin' on, I'm still the happiest I've ever been. I have a loving family, a loving boyfriend,... 2008-07-07
