friendship

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

 Most teenage girls rely on there girlfriends to listen to their secrets problems, worries, excitements, the romance in their life and just to be there for them and Vice versa. 

Me and my BFF tell each other everything! But despite the fact that we have known each other for 8 years,  we are constantly finding out new things about each eachother!

God has blessed me with a lot of true friends, ones that really care about me and what's going on in my life. Friends that want to help me when I am in trouble.=)

But being a good friend to others isn't always easy for me. Me and my best friend do get irritated with each other sometimes, and we have had a share of fights. But no matter what we always comeback together.

Friends are one of the best things ever! And I feel bad for the girls who don't have friends. And as a Christian it's my job to be a friend to those who other people make fun of. Because being a friend is a grate way to show the love of Christ.

Emotions

Teen age life is like a amusement park. Normal every day life is the merry go round, your heath is the pop corn, cotton candy and pretzel stands(healthy?). And the annoying parts of life is the whack a mole. And then  Emotions, emotions are the Roller coaster. The big ride that many fear.

Emotions. the hardest thing to decipher. New Emotions pop up out of no where, and cause you to act all weird. I cry almost every time I have a important talk with my parents, and I don't know why! Just the intenseness of the saroundings.

Some times my emotions go hay wire and when I get mad at someone I take it out on every one around me. I don't mean to and I know it's wrong, and I try not to.
But through the thick and the thin of my emotions God will help me through.

Ephesians 4:26
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath,

So I do my best and try and do the Godly thing on this emotion roller coaster!

I have a lot to say about Emotions, but unfortunately I was sick this morning and I had a all day test yesterday and today, so my mind is not thinking very well because it is tiered. So if you want to hear more on emotions or feelings click on this link.

Dreams

Every teenage girl has had her fair share of Dreams, not like night time dreams but like day dreams and dreams of who you want to be or what you want to do things like that.

When I was younger about eleven me and my  best friend shared
 in a dream. We wanted to be rock stars, travailing around the world in a camper that could turn in to a stage (the camper was my best friends idea) we wanted to sing God songs, have hit albums, and be famous.So we tried to practice, we did a couple of performances at are church Sunday school which a good portion of the kids were little boys who just laughed at us. Plus we were singing along with the people on the music so it wasn't really us just singing. Then we stepped it up a bit and decided to do a performance in front of the entire church one Easter we did that for two years...and slow are dream died. To me it became more of a fantasy something that couldn't really happen I mean I knew there were people who became sing and were famous. But it just didn't seem rational any more. A child's dream I would call it, not that I am much older now than I was then but you get the picture. A couple months ago I asked my BFF what she wanted to be when she was older and she said to me:

"you know what I want to do."

Me "the rock star thing?"

She shook her head. She was pursuing there dream. And that was fine, but she was going to have to do it without me. She was taking voice lessons so maybe she might fallow the path we had dreamt up, but alone she would. Or at least that's the way I see it. I don't and never will see that as the path God wants me to fallow considering that I have realized my voice really isn't that good. But God will decide what will happen.

 Dreams are good thing to have, I have lot's! I day dream about what I really want to do when I grow up. Probably be an author. I may not be good at singing but I love to wright, I don't know what my life would be like without writing.

But then there are other day dream I have some times about a uhhh....certain person (cough), some times about how I think a upcoming event will go. Sometime it's fun to make up stories in my head.

Dreaming is fun and can have purpose and God could use it in so many ways. I just hope he tells me me soon if any of my dreams are the right ones.

James 4:14

Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

Chocolate yum!

Every girl or most I know love Chocolate. I can't imagine what the world would be like without it!

There are so many different kinds!

There's your normal everyday Hershey's bar.
Or a real honest to good chocolate bar with bacon! (i guess someone got bored with the normal flavors)
there arn't just chocolate bar's theres chocolate candy's like:

m&ms, chocolate eggs, chocolate covered apples, Milky Way, Snickers, and Twixt I think the world would end if we didn't have chocolate!

And what about chocolate chip cookies?! Oh chocolate chip cookies....how I wish I had treasured you more! Ha ha.

And chocolate ice cream. The popular flavor is every where you turn. left, right, up, down. You can't get away from chocolate, unless you bury yourself in the bottom of the sea!

I love chocolate personally, it is the number one treat, at the top of my list. Or at least it's tied with ice cream. I know a few people who don't like chocolate, and I think there crazy!

I have kind of been chocolate spoiled somewhat my mom loves real chocolate. You know the high quality stuff like Green & Black's Organic, stuff like that I love the high quality chocolate but I will eat a Hershey's bar any day of the week!

And did you know that chocolate the sugars in chocolate can make you feel better when your feeling sad? I don't eat when i'm sad though because my mom doesn't want me to become dependent on it. Smart huh?

Chocolat go's good with every thing coffee, muffins, cookies, pastries, cakes, ice cream, smoothies, frozen yogurt, bacon!, cereal, milk, yogurt, granola bars, nuts, raisins, bread, and candy! EVRY thing go's with chocolate. They have even made desert pizzas with chocolate on them!

One day they are going to fly a giant bucket of chocolate over earth and dump it on top of it, so it rains chocolate! That was just my imagination going there. =)

Now that you have read this you are probably digging through your pantry trying to find some chocolate. But now I have to go, I have a test papers to do. Bye, bye!

For more on chocolate, go to my mom's blog she doing chocolate the whole month! http://www.coffeeinthegarden.blogspot.com

Beauty

1 peter 3:3-4

Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious

Beauty is a thing that we all poses, weather you think so or not. But some times Beauty can poses you. You can become so obsessed with it, and the way you look on the outside becomes the center of your attention. But that’s not the real beauty, the real beauty is who you are on the inside. I know that God doesn't care if my t-shirts cute or if I am wearing makeup. God cares if I am a good Christian, if I am a nice person. If I listen to my parents, if I care for friends and family. He wants to know if I am a beautiful on the inside.

I know it’s easy to get to caught up in the outside beauty and I trust me I do a lot! I like to look at myself in the mirror and I know sometimes I do obsess, but I am working on it.

Plus if you know your going to be around a boy that you like, and you change your cloths fifty time’s because you don’t know if he will like it. Don’t! If he is your friend he should like you for who you are.

I do spend most of my time when getting ready doing my hair and throwing cloths left and right trying to find something to wear to church, co-op, or just out and about.

And  I know that non of that is bad. As long as I know my real beauty should be on the inside, and not to obsess on the out side, because the inside is what God cares about. =)

Accessories

Bracelets, necklaces, sun glasses, ear rings, hats, purses,rings, head bands, lip gloss, make up, and perfume. 

Theses are all of the main accessories I can think of, and there are tons of other like scarfs or little decorative sweaters. =)

Every teen age girl has there personal style of accessories, some girls like big jewelry or big bags. Some girls like black jewelry,bright jewelry, or scented perfume. 

A good accessory can add the perfect last touch to the perfect outfit. And be the glimmer in your glam.

God is a grate part of me, but he isn’t the accessory to my life. that would be wrong!

God is the outfit the "centerpiece". I mean think about it you don’t mach your outfit to your accessories, but your accessories  to your out fit. (or at least I do) God is the outfit and I base what it do on him. Do you see what I am getting at?

Matthew 6:33

But seek the kingdom of go and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 

Accessories are the grate finish to a perfect outfit. And god is the perfect center pice to wear all your life! He, he you like my metaphor? 

See you tomorrow for my B post!
