everything under the sun.

have you ever realized that you've been holding on to something you shouldn't be. that just happened to me. i'm not real sure how else to explain it. but i think... that... these past few months i've been trying to grow in my relationship with the Lord. but haven't been able to beacuse of this thing. i didn't know why i wasn't getting anywhere. but i'm pretty positive i just figured it out. hmm. muy interesante. i'll let you know how this all plays out.



um recently i've been obsessed with two songs. these two songs are basically all i listen to, sing, play, etc. they are: "Be Near" by Shane and Shane and "You're Everything" by David Crowder Band. they both talk about the fullness of God and how His hand plays a very important role in our lives. something about these songs has just captivated me recently. it's incredible.


on a tad bit different note, it's about time for that annual beginning of school post. i usually write this differently but hey, since i kind of blog now, i'll try it out here... so here goes nothing: usually i like to make a list-ish thing of my goals and expectations for the year. and this year is no different. i just want to be able to keep up with it. so i'm posting it here. enjoy if you want.

um basically i realize that this year is going to be the toughest by far. i mean, it just keeps getting harder, doesn't it? yeah. but i'm not too worried. i'm just going to have to get more self-discipline in managing my time. i am also getting a job this year. will just add to the homework from 3 AP classes, pressure to meet Yearbook deadlines, and keeping up relationships with friends at school. which is another goal. having relationships with people at school. it's very easy for me to get caught up in surrounding myself with other camp friends, which is a very good thing, don't get me wrong. but it's also good to get close to people who you are around all the time. a few of my friends recently started an accountability group to meet and grow closer to each other and build each other up in our relationships with the Lord. this last thing i am so excited about. i'm thrilled to see everything that the Lord is going to do this year.

so all in all, i guess you could i'm excited about the year. i'm not too excited about classes and stuff, but i'm stoked about the experiences i will have! i have no doubt that this year is going to be amazing!

this was soooo long and i'm sorry. but if you stuck it out, i love you. thanks.
