It would be fair to say that my sixteenth year has been sweet. I have been able to think and able to feel so many different emotions and explore a great deal of things. I'm still a big work in progress and I'm still figuring stuff out, but I'm very thankful for another year.

To this last year of my life. To the joy of walking the sidewalk down in ( Read more... )

Last night I went to Collin's surprise sixteenth birthday party. I was very nervous before, and nearly didn't go, but I finally decided to and I'm glad I did. It was really a lot of fun, more fun than I've ever had at any social gathering, and I didn't feel awkward or out of place, but really a part of it.

Beforehand I talked to Aaron P a little bit ( Read more... )

It's late, and me and my mother have been watching Roy on Godtv for a few nights now. It reminds me of the outpouring. The air in the house seems thicker like it used to be, and I can't help but feel like I'm walking through the glory of God.

I got The Secret Garden out from the library yesterday like I planned. I think we're going to go to Disney World tomorrow since we ( Read more... )

It's three weeks until my sixteenth birthday. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, though we're thinking about going to Epcot, and maybe eating at the Mexican place and me taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower and attack-hugging all the people in Norway, because they actually hire people from each country, hence, the people employed in Norway actually ( Read more... )

last day of being 14. I think I've kept all my regrets about this year inside for too long, so I'm letting them all go.

When crud happens to me, it's my own fault. I think the whole youth group thing is my fault. But hey, it's over. I'm going to be 15, and I'm going to start over. I'm putting everything behind me and I'm living my life.

I'm not ( Read more... )
