Welcome to December!

Bonjour Peeps! Welcome to December! The most wonderful time of the year. Don't you just love December? I sure do. I love the Christmas music, the Starbucks Hot Chocolate, the Christmas shopping (I mean, who doesn't love Christmas shopping?!), seeing the family, all of it! I love everything about December (except the coldness...lucky Australian's.). What do you like about December? My favorite part is Christmas-Celebrating the birth of our Savior. Hope ya'll have an awesome December!

"This is your life, are you who you wanna be?"

Hey peeps! So the other day, I was sitting in the car on the way home from a day of shopping, and Audrey was asleep, so I decided to turn on my iPod. And as always, I shuffled it, and Switchfoot came up (I mostly have Switchfoot songs on my iPod...go figure.), which I was quite excited about. And it was one of my favorite songs, "This is your life". So it was starting..."Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead.." (First part of the song.) And it went on, and once it reached the chorus, I felt as if the words hit me harder this time. It goes: "This is your life, are you who you wanna be? This is your life, are you who you wanna be? This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be? When the world was younger, and you had everything to lose." The first part, "Are you who you wanna be?" really sunk in for me. Am I who I want to be? I've been thinking about that for days now, and still haven't come up with an answer. Am I REALLY who I want to be? In some areas, I would say yes. In some, not so much. I could go on and on about my highs and lows, but I shan't, since ya'll probably have lives. But, I do know what can make me who I want to be. JESUS PEOPLE. Before him, I was a sinner lost and confussed (I was 3, but still.). But now, I am (almost) who I wanna be! So I shall leave ya'll with one question: Are you who you wanna be?

Happy Holladays!

Hey Peeps! HAPPY (late) THANKSGIVING! Hope ya'll had an awesome day. I did, I had lots of food and what-not. :P So, the holidays are approching, so I'm sure most of you are decking your halls, making your Christmas List's (Hehehe..), and attempting to get a good family photo for your Christmas card. I love the holiday season. I love listening to Christmas music, writing out all my Christmas cards, seeing family, and sitting in front of the Christmas tree staring at the ornaments sparkle next to the lights. But honestly, none of that matters. Its not what Christmas is about. Yeah, I know what your thinking. Your thinking: "Oh here comes the whole 'Christmas isn't about presents' lecture." Ready or not here it comes. CHRISTmas IS NOT about presents, candy canes, holiday music, any of that stuff. Its about celebrating the birth of our Savior. And unfortunatley, alot of people don't get that. Alot of people DO think its about presents, christmas music, christmas cards, all that stuff. Its quite sad, really. So, this Christmas, I'm going to try to put the CHRIST in CHRISTmas more. Not gonna worry about buying the most presents, eating the most candy canes, any of that junk. I'm going to put Christ first. What are you going to do to put Christ first this Christmas? Hope ya'll had a nice Turkey Day! Oh, by the way, above is my Christmas Card picture that I edited on www.picnik.com. Thank you for your patronage.

So much for that "I'm alive" post..

Hey peeps! Yes, I am alive, shockingly enough. Not alot has happened since my last blog post, just taking care of a girl, piano, etc. Since I was gone, it turned November! Happy November people. Can you believe its November already?! I'm just getting used to writing down '2010' rather then '2009'. Ugh. ANYWAY, hope ya'll had a nice October, since I kinda forgot to do my blog during most of the month of October. I shall try to blog more this month. ;)
