The grandparents came, I attempted to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days, I got to 31,730 something, we had a late Thanksgiving, we got our tree in the FIRST week of December, WITH the grandparents, we decorated it, we slept under it, we've raked and blown leaves, I want snow, I'm not so bratty and angry about my school now, I feel ever so much better. Praise God. That wasn't all in quite the right order, but I'm quite happy. I'm behind in Biology, in History, in Math, in wishing a dear friend a traditional happy birthday (traditional meaning...a special tradition we have), in finishing my novel, in...speaking out? But I am happy. Very, actually. Not because I'm perfect. NOT because I can do all this on my own. But because He is giving me help, I know He's there to help me, not to harm me. My teacher doesn't hate me and understands. He loves me and just showed me how silly I was being, and then gave me peace. Praise God! :D
God bless each and every one of you!

Have you ever realized?
Hello all!
I've had several times this month and last as well...I think, where I've thought of realizations to put here, and even ways to word them. (some.) I can't quite remember them all now, nor even many.
I've realized I have spent far too many days indoors and have started to focus more on my self rather than Him, and more on my physical world.
I've realized I almost forgot the actual joy of going through a super tough hike and seeing the amazing beautiful, superiorly awesome view and remembering Who made it all.
I've realized I think some physical things through far too much. Like friendships, and when should I start "dating" or should I "date", and who should I date when I do start? I don't need to worry about those things yet. Really.
I've realized although I don't get a lot of politics and they can be amusing and infuriating (and I really mean infuriating) they are rather important to at least slightly understand if one wants to have a say in this country, and by golly do I want a say.
I've realized I really really REALLY get into stories. Like, they REEALLY puuull at my heartstrings. Plus, I think maybe I think through even history's stories maybe too much. Not like dissecting them exactly nor trying to dicipher all the possible different meanings, but rather thinking, "GOSH, what must that have BEEN like? To go against your own country, almost, and besides knowing you may be fighting friends and family, to know you were going up against probably the most powerful military force in the world then?" And then getting heartwrenched over it, when it was hundreds of years ago! AND,
I have realized I NEED to realize, humans in stories, whether real or no, are just that:human. Maybe they have/had a wonderful growing relationship with God, but they still are just humans. George Washington was very cool, but he was JUST a man.
I may not agree with this administration AT ALL, but he is JUST a man. And no matter what happens, this is JUST physical. No one can do anything past our death to us. And no matter what happens, its ALL in God's hands and no one elses. And however much power the devil may seem to have, he is defeated, and he's just poking around like the loser he is, waiting for the ultimate end. GOD is the victor, plus He loves us, which is an amazing, merciful, wonderful plus.
AND I'm getting quite carried away with this post.
I really really really want to be in the next play.
God will do whats best for us all, me included, because He always does, and He promised He would and He never ever breaks His promises-even if I think I'm left floundering, its probably because I was trying to push through by myself instead of accepting His help...even though He knows and sees everything, so why wouldn't I want the help?
I've realized I can get very passionate about things, and it kind of worries me sometime. Like I think maybe someday I'll just blow up at someone. Haha, I don't REALLY think that, and to be honest, it doesn't really worry me, I've just noticed it.
PLEASE KNOW: This is not meant to be angsty. This is actually happy for me. Its just.t..points. And truths. And things I have remembered, been shown, and discovered. Its not me trying to rant or anything. This is good stuff, trust me! :P
And now.
"you can't knock 'em out
you can't walk away
try desperately to think of the politest way to say
just get outta my face
just leave me a-lo-one
and no you can't have my number..why?
'cause I lost my phone."
heh heh heh.
Goodnight, goodbye to all. :P I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving, and DEFINITELY Christmaas! :D
God bless all y'all.
NOTE: I must say, I do understand that the devil has some power and that we shouldn't just ignore him. I'm just saying, he has FAR less power than our all-powerful God. And that shouldn't be ignored either. :)

BOO
Haha, did I scare you? ....oh. I didn't think so. I was just asking for etiquette's sake. Etiquette and tradition, you know. So. I have read "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", and it was very good. What say all of you? I tried to look it up on youtube (silly me) and see if they'd made a movie, or, you know....a pretty true to the book movie. Apparently they made one with Keisha Knight Pullam (sp?) in it-you know, Rudy from the Cosby Show. She was a 12 year old girl who fell off a horse and went back in time to Camelot. When, actually, in the book, its a something-aged man who gets in a fight and then goes back to Camelot. Haha, but thats okay. :P
So anyhoo.
Have any of you read it? What did you think?

I was Jekyll, Jekyll, Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde, Hyde, Jekyll!
Oh yes. Hello all. I feel like my life has changed a lot since my last post. And indeed it has. I've grown up some, naturally, and maybe spiritually. Haha, and socially. Maybe.
But. Who all has read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? What did you think? I'm in the middle of writing a poem for my English assignment for that book. But I like it, and I really liked the book. :)
Sick. Not going back to agape until Thursday, Lord willing I can go on Thursday.
So how have you all been?
My life has definitely changed. My siblings have, around the same time period, started dating/courting, whatever you'd like to call it. Well, no, not whatever you'd like to call it. Pursuing a relationship in a Godly manner. That's much better. And one of my siblings has been recently engaged. Sweet!
I like ice skating. Ice skating is cool. I've been 6 or 7 times...
My poem is getting long, too. I dunno. I might have to cut back. I can be rather long winded. As you probably know.
Wellllll....byeShannon!
oh. And I've got an interest in Psyche now. I mean...I've seen a grand total of three episodes. One of them was the season finale which was creeepy.
"Hey everyone, look how big I am next to this plane. Wooosh, I'm King Kong!"
Bye!
