It's Been Awhile...

 I

 I got a new hat! haha I'm going to wear it to a fancy tea that I'm helping to plan! haha What do you think?

I was also experimenting with new makeup looks haha. I pretty much look the same haha. But hey, makeup's not supposed to cover up, it's supposed to accentuate your natural beauty, so I suppose this is a success haha

I don't even know hahaha, just messing around with my camera I guess haha, what do you think? Could I be a model? haha I'm just joking, I don't really care. Gosh, I must seem really conceited :p

 

             So anyway, I went laser tagging for the first time last weekend and got to hang out with a bunch of amazing girls! haha I am not terrible at lasertag but I'm not good either, by any means. haha :p A few months ago I went to winter camp, which was awesome! The only bad part was that it was only a weekend long, so we didn't get to do too much. The worship band was great! The leader was actually an old childhood friend of mine. I doubt he recognized me haha I've changed alot in 10 years. One of the illustrations the speaker used was really funny. He showed us a video of a panda who had climbed a tree which couldn't support it. It inevitably fell out of the tree, taking a branch with it. The panda then proceeded to throw a fit, fighting and biting the branch. It was funny to watch but the point he made was great. He told us to think about our life as the tree, and our choices and things in our lives as the branches. He challenged us not to depend on things, people, or choices that won't support us. Invariably we will try to deflect the blame for our own failures onto other people or things. If we trust God to support us, we won't fall, if He's our branch, we won't fail.

              Another one of his topics was about giving away your heart, and taking care of others' hearts. He said to be careful who you give your heart to, to make sure they'll take care of it, and won't be careless with it. He also said to take care of the hearts of those who've given you their heart. It's a big responsibility and not one to be taken lightly. It scares me a little, having this huge job. I feel like I'm not prepared. But really, is anyone really prepared for that? I'm not sure, but I know that if you trust God with it He'll make it turn out right.

              At camp I got to hang out with some old friends, and get ignored by some old friends. :p haha well, whatever, if they don't care about me anymore that's fine. I've got awesome friends already, I don't need to stay stuck in the past. If those people don't want to come with me into my future, then I won't stand around waiting for them. haha All ranting aside, it was awesome to see and talk to people I hadn't seen in a long time (as much as 3 years). It freaks me out to see just how much we've all grown up. And now I have to think about college? Yikes :p So much growing up to do, so little time :(

            And on that happy note (hmm, do I detect sarcasm?), I bid you adieu. Until next time, when I present to you an example of my poetry haha ttyl :)
