Gah, this is really late, considering it is almost saturdayy! :P But hey, at least I am getting it done right?
I will update more tomorrow, I am just putting this devo up and then getting off. I am uuber tired.
FRIDAY:
Do your batteries ever run out of juice? Are there times when you just can't love anymore? It's at this point that God wants to help. We get so confused because we think love is a feeling. If you don't feel ;love then you can't act love. But it's a decision, a choice-which means sometimes it might not fell good. The next time your love tank is empty, pull into the filling station of God's word. Learn what love is from God's point of view. It doesn't have to feel a certain way, but God says that is does act a certain way.
Verse:
Love. . . does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1Corinthians 13:4-8
Thoughts:
I am so tired so I'm not really thinking clearly. I can say though that this is so true. People forget what love really is all the time, and they mistake if for a feeling all the time also. I am guilty of this. When I was younger my dad told me a few times that I didn't really love him because of the way I acted. I thought he sounded crazy. I was thinking, what does it have to do with how I act towards him? But actually it has everything to do with that. I am gunna sign off now, goind to bed. Last thing I have to say is I really love this verse!
Goodnight y'all. (: Love youu! <3
Ta Ta For Now.(:

DEVOTIONAL FOR THURSDAYYY HOLLER.
1. I put HOLLER because I think that's how hillbillies would say 'HOLLA.' Ain't it great? Yess, I know.
2. I am posting the devo the night before from now on, in case some people get on after waking up so they can sorta have a reminder to start your day with Christ! (:
THURSDAY:
Have you ever been to the point of saying, "I am not helping anyone else-ever! No one cares or ever even thanks me!"? You feel that you give and give, and no gratitude is ever expressed. Meanwhile, you watch lots of people do far less and get recognized more. It's not fair. They just help to get the recognition and that is it. Their heart isn't in it. Well, that doesn't give us the excuse to quit. We impact people when we give. We only impact ourselves when we want recognition. Give more.
Verse:
"All these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had." -Luke 21:4
Thoughts:
I don't have as many thoughts on this like the last devo, sorry. I can say in all honesty I have had this thought. Haven't we all though? It is hard to not be recognized for somethings but remember we are doing it to glorify God, not ourselves. Like here, we begin to feel that the people who do less are recognized more. Have you thought though that us having this thought, is kinda of saying that we are being like them? I mean, that's how I see it. I can't speak for you! I also think that, maybe we 'think' that they only do these things to get recognition, but maybe they don't? You don't know for sure unless that person has told you. Last, I think this devo kind of ties in with the grace one. They both (well, to me.) have some relation to giving. Agree? Thoughts? Lemme know! (: [btdubs, I lied. I did have as many thoughts :P]
P.S I also think that this post isn't just saying give materialistic things, but we can also give love, guidance, friendship, etc! (: I thinks those things are more valuable anyways!
Speaking of 'giving.' GUESS WHAT? Betcha can't guesssss. :P Thanksgiving is in. . . . 1. . .2. . .3. . .4. . .5. . .6. . .7. . .8 DAYS!!!! WOOT WOOT! (: So. super. excited. By the way, I didn't count today since it's almost overrrr! (:
Ta Ta For Now. ;)
Sleep well, and I hope you all have a WONDERFUL rest, and AMAZING day with Christ tomorrow. <3

Devotional!
I have this idea that I think is prettyyy good. I have a devotional book that I am starting to read everyday, but I had this idea to post the devo I read that day on my blog along with some thoughts, if I have any? haha. I am excited for this, idk why! They are pretty short, but they really have you thinking. I also ask if you have anything on your mind about the post, feel free to leave a comment about it! I would love to hear what God put on your heart! I am so excited. hahah (: I AM STARTING THE FIRST ONE NOW.
P.S If I skip a day, should I do that day plus the day I am on? or just leave it out all together? What's your opinion!? Thanks!
P.P.S haha, Oh, and the book is called 'Extreme Encounters: Start Each Day On The Edge.' It is kind of an older book, (2000) but OH WELL!
Wednesday.
It's a hot summer day. You're dying of thirst, so you run down to the convenience store. You get yourself an ice-cold drink and head to the counter. "1.35 please." You dig into your pocket to pull out one dollar and a quarter, some lint, and a rubber band. Yikes! No more money. You're just 10 cents away. But just when you are about to leave, the clerk says. "That's OK; I have a dime." Wow! She didn't have to do that. Something for nothing! That's grace-getting what you don't deserve. Who can you show grace today? Look for a chance to share this kind of grace with others.
Verse: God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been save). -Ephesians 2:4-5
My thoughts:
Wow. Grace is such a wonderful thing, and God does it everyday. We don't deserve for our sins to be forgiven, but He does it anyway! Because He loves US! How awesome is that? My dad always says how he gives my grace all the time, and I usually don't believe him. After reading this though, he really does! So do our teachers, and our friends! A way I could give grace is you know when there is that really rude person in your class? They always seem to need a pencil or paper and most of the time you don't do anything but sit there? Well, I have decided I will give that person a pencil or a piece of paper. Although they don't deserve it because they were mean or rude or whatever to us, giving them it is giving grace! I am not saying to let that person walk all over you though, this is just an example because I know this has happened to me.
Ta Ta For Now! (:

I really don't know. . .
Yeah, I decided I really needed to update my blog but I have barely anything to say. But I'm sure I could think of things. . . . Gimme a minute. :P
41 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!?!?
Ummm, So. HOW fabulous is that!? Super Duper Fabulous. I adore Christmas, so much! The lights, the smells, the weather, the cheer, the presents, the decorations. . . and let's not forget the most important thing of all. . The beautiful birth of our SAVIOR. You know what really irritates me? [I am not complaining just to clear things up a bit. :P] The fact that people go around and don't think twice about the REAL meaning of Christmas. I mean c'mon people? I kinda just want to walk up to them and yell it in there face. I think that would be real rude though. haha. I LOVE CHRISTMAS! <3
School seems to be getting better. . . I think? I am going to update you [all of the 0 people who read this.] in all of my classes.
1st hour [Child Development]- Woah. Woah. Woah. I LOVE this class. It is a great start to my day. Guess WHAT?! You know how we take those little mechanical babies home? I got mine, Tuesday? Yeah, Tuesday. I was blessed with beautiful baby girl, how cheesy does that sound :P haha jk. I named her Anastasia! So cute, right? I know! :) I seriously PRAYED to God that he would help me get 'perfect parent.' I was so scared to take this baby home, I was shakin'. Not. Kidding. But, the Lord answered my prayers! and I got PERFECT PARENT. Yeah, I'm just thaaaaat good. ;)
2nd hour [World History]- Ick. Ick. Okay, It's not that bad. WAY better than Government, and it's not that hard of a class. I have Brake. He is a pretty good teacher besides that it REALLY annoys the crap out of me when he purposely mispronounces my name. First and Last. He said he just likes bugging me. I don't like this. I used to sit by this person, who. . . well didn't smell so great. It was bad. So, I wrote him a letter so he would move me to a different spot. Yay for me he did! . . . but then, dun dun dun. He moved that person last week back by me! I don't know what to do. I am just gunna suck. it. up. It might be hard though. . :/
3rd hour [Art I]- I love art. Just not my class. It's basically full of ALL annoying and immature freshies. I know that all freshmen aren't annoying but the ones in this class are. haha, other than that. Love this class. :P I just suckkk at shading! haha
4th hour [Spanish III]- Oh Gosh, I'm only half way done. Haha. To sum this up, I hate Spanish 3 and I am dropping it next semester. Ok, let us move on. :P
5th hour [Geometry]- Ha, Lately I don't like it because proofs are annoyingly confusing. But I love the people I sit by, they are quite funny. Although somethings they say are inappropriate things. :/
6th hour [Photoshop]- Again, I love the people I sit by!!. This class is great, as long as you pay attention. It's veryyyy laid back and not to hard. Plussss, we don't take tests! Woot Woot!
7th hour [English II]- I absolutely love my teacherrrr! (Mrs. Torreson!) People are constantly complaining about how she gives to much work, but in all honesty, they are just being big babies. She doesn't. She gives us a packet every week that people whine about, but they shouldn't because it's easy and she gives us ALL week to do it. She is just great in my opinion, and I have had a few good talks with her after school before! Also, I told her that when she has her baby, I want to baby sit it! (:
8th hour [Honors Chemistry]- Oh boyyyy. I don't mind this class that much. It's okay. Like the work is easy but oh goodness, don't get me started on the tests!! They are THE hardest test I have ever taking. Not kiddin'. I do wonderful on the work but I fail the tests which is awful because they make up most of my grade. I have a test tomorrow actually, and I studied hardcore this weekend. It's weird, I am the type of person who doesn't ever have to study for tests and yet I still get real good grades, but with this class I have learned I HAVE to study. :/ I need a study buddy. PRAY FOR ME! (: Thank youuuuu.
I wish more people read my blog. It kinda disappoints me. Am I BORING OR SOMETHING!? :(
<3Ohhhh Goodness. I was thinking, and I really need to liven up my life, especially my WEEKENDS. I need to hangout with more people. Soooo, I thought I would never say this. . Hmu?!
hahahahhahaahahahahhahahaha. that cracks me up. I feel so old. I don't like this 'teen' lingo. :P
Words/phrases like:
Bett
Hmu
Smh
Huck
and others
annoy me. Is this normal?!
Last, but SURELY not least. I am growing so much closer to God. I LOVE IT. I was thinking back and it's so weird, when I was in 6th grade, I had a fantastic relationship with my savior. Crazy how it can all fall apart so quick. But the awesome thing is, it didn't fall apart. Catch my drift? hah. Anyways, I am trying so hard to give God EVERYTHING. All my worries, my fears, my dreams. . . etc. It's surprisingly harder than I thought. That's why I am so thankful I have great friends I can go too for advice, and w.e else. I thought I was going to add more, but my brain just sorta kinda died. HA.
Yeah, so this post is definitely way longer than I suspected. :/ Oh well! (:
