weeeellll > <

some of you may have noticed that i haven't been blogging latelyyy. sorry about that! :/ but thank you for continuing to check back on it, if anyone has been :P

two "e"s, three "s"s... ;D
xP
well, thanks everyoooonee! cya on my tumblr [:

well hullo there.

something. you're welcome, morgy.

hahaha.

weeeeeeelll. gollygee. it's been like, since the end of laasst school year since i blogged. :P so. sorry, everyone [:

haven't really got much to say, but, i do have SOMETHING. haha.

so. another video game related one. cause i'm such a nerd like that. in life, something may happen, and you just break down and feel like you can't go on anymore, right? maybe you moved, or your parents broke up, or you failed a subject or something. well. i'm here to say that it's NOT THE END OF THE WORLD :D and the video game connection?

well. let's say your life is mario kart. (ha, ha.) you're doing great, you're first place, then OUT OF NOWHERE comes this blue shell (flying shell, idk what you guys call it...) and knocks you, maybe even pushes you off the track. what do you do? do you give up, and just let everyone pass you? no, you keep going as if nothing happened. right? you pick yourself up from the situation and go on. sure, you might have gotten a better time or whatever if that hadn't had happened, but if you race with items, it's almost impossible to not get hit SOME time during the race ;D

plus, that's what makes it exciting. hahah. maybe not in real life, but, idk. :P

another one. brawl. (ha.) if someone hits you, and you fall off the course or something, you don't just forfeit and kill your remaining lives. noooo. you fight back, even harder. you make them PAY for it. hahha. well, maybe not in real life. i actually don't know where i'm going with this. but if like, something bad happens, you might take some damage, and your percentage'll go up. right? yea. so you're more vulnerable. more likely to be crushed. but you won't let people bully you around! yaaay! stand up for yourself! :D

yeaup. when life gives you lemons, make lemondaaaade <3

anyway. just some thoughts of mine.

cya soooon. (aka in like, 5 months ;D)

Mario Kart...?

a few days ago we got Mario Kart for the Wii, and Joseph said, "What if everything was nothing?" what an ironic statementt... but he was referring to the kart/bike's stats. like, what if all the stats were empty was what he meant. anyway. i kept repeating what he said in my head and came up with this...

what if everything we were doing in life was really nothing? i mean, i learned of te statistics recently that ten out of ten people die. ha. well anyway. i think we all knew that, but really think about it.

yea, i know, we need to enjoy life and stuff...but have you ever thought about what your purpose in life is?

i don't know. i guess i could say more, but just think about what/who you're living for =]

Walking into walls...

got this idea from haram, so give the credit to her :)

alriiiiigggghhhhtttt. more thoughts on us Christians being not of this world :)
as humans, we have sin, one of those sins being stubbornness. we'll want to do things our way, we'll always think we're right and won't want to accept anything other than what WE want. right? society is all "me, me, me". they think they're the center of attention, that we're "all that".
anyway.
we want to do things the way WE want to, want to control our OWN lives right? you wouldn't want to hand over all you're working towards, all that hard work you've invested into your life and just hand it off to someone saying "you run my life. i'll let you control me from now on"
most of us wouldn't do that.
so what we're doing is walking into a wall.
Jesus is chasing after us, trying to bring us into the light. offering us his love and eternal grace. his mercy, his kindness.
and what're we doing?
running away from it all.
we're walking into a wall. a blockage. we don't want to accept into our live what jesus wants to give to us.
we want to do things our way.
what Jesus is saying is "look. you're going the wrong way. you're walking into a wall. you won't get anywhere like that. let me help you."
and we shy away from him, continuing to run away from a better life we could be having because we're too stubborn to turn around. we keep thinking to ourselves, "i can do it. i'm going the right way. I can figure it out."
but all we need to do is turn around, and run back to The One who made us, loves us, died for us. all we need to do is say "Lord, come into my life. i've been going the wrong way all this time, wading in my sin, doing what I wanted to do. But it's not all about me. i want you to take over my life and transform it into what you want it to be. make it a life of peace, joy, and happiness. take away my sorrows, my pains, my hurts, and replace it with everlasting, true genuine peace."
and that's it.
it will be just that if you just surrendur all that you have, and all that you've worked towards.
pull away from that wall you've been so desperately trying to fight. you won't be able to walk though it.

and as Christians, we're fighting the flow. we're running away from the wall, running towards an abundant and happy life. but the rest of society is pushing us back towards te wall, tempting us, taunting us saying, "you can run your own life. do what YOU want. you don't have to listen to anyone." and there they go, just pushing against the wall, looking for a way out. but they're too prideful to turn around, and admit they've been going the wrong way.

just turn around :)
there will be someone waiting with open arms, ready to transform you into something wonderful and beautiful.
there will be someone ready to die for you, to save your life.
there will be someone ready to trade all the bad things in life for joy and peace.
he's waiting for you. he's been waiting for forever. :)

TRIP

alriiiight. haven't posted in awhile. sorry guys :)

so. this past weekend my family and i went on a road trip! yayy!

and. to be consistent with my last post, i made a point to not play with my new toys ;) i looked out the window more that i normally would have, and i really paid off. i took a bunch of gorgeous pictures of the scenery, and i'm making a movie of it, which i'll post later when i'm done! :D

i have to admit though...i was playing taptap revolution with my brother (who can beat me -.-) and i missed the sunset!!! i was sooooo mad at myself. but. that's life. you'll be distracted with other stuffs, and then you'll miss things that're truly priceless. but. if you really strive hard enough to make up for it, you might catch the last glimmer of the big orange circle going behind a mountain :) which i did :D idk if that made sense, but when you keep looking for something, you could see the last part of it. i don't know. but. anyway. yes, i admiti was being hypocritical, but i can't be perfect. no one can be. so those of you calling me out and pointing to that post i made...i know, i may seem totally contradictory. but honestly, do you expect me to really be sinless? and because of that post, life has been harder(ish). several people have called me outon this, telling me to stay consistent with that post. if you want to tell me, tell me to my face. don't go talking about me behind me back, telling OTHER people how i may be being a hypocrite (which i admit, i will be at some times). as my friends i want you to help me live a life of integrity. yes, posting that has made stuff harder on me; more pressure. but it will push me to be better than who i am now. good things don't come easily.

well. now that that's out of the way, i'll tell you the fun stuff :) i visited my cousins and then went to a wedding; up further north, about an eight hour drive (and seriously, do you think i would stare out the window the whole time? even I can't do that ;]) we went to a lake, and took a boat ride around for an hour, which was AMAZING :D lot's of cute duckies, and a few turtles :D (vid'll be up soon--i promise :)) then we went to this HU-YUGE park, with like, BILLIONS of little kids... T_T okay, at least two hundred. i'm not even kidding. there was one of those rope-y towers with like, kids cleaning to it, and the thing was like, twenty five feet high...there were several playground structure thingies...and the best part. this slide...litterally CARVED into this rock hill...there were piles of cardboard boxes at the foot of it that kids would grab and run up the little wooden planks to the top of the slide...it was IN.SANE. and crazily FUN. i seriously went on that thing till i almost eroded a hole in my jeans O_o and i have videos of it :D (me sliding down, not my jeans ^^")

QUOTES that i snagged while i listened to my abnormal cousins talk, along with my own family:

Joseph: Guess what Jube? i can fart with my mouth closed!

Me thinking: (guess what? i can fart with my mouth open OR closed! -.- oooh, scary.)

you know how little kids LOVE to talk about butts and stuff? well my two(?) year old cousin was talking about butts, and my uncle was like, "enough with you butt talks!" (Say that sentance out loud, and you'll get it x])

okay, if you didn't get it: "butt talks", "buttocks" :DDD

Jacob: i squished an ant, and i can see his ears moving!!

Joseph: you mean his tenticles?

well. there were more, but they weren't as thrilling. yes, i know, they were all VERY exciting. ._.

more to come later! :D

bonjour! (<--wait, is that hi or bye?)

zai jien!

cya?
