Live in the Moment Everyday

If you asked my friends something about what i believe people should do, most likliy one of the things would be that i say people need to live in the moment more! I love being who i am and just getting out there becuase well, life is an unpredictable journey. Latley i have been doing that even more! Yay! You dont want to look back on your life and think, man i wish i would have done that or i really wish i would have done that diffrently! (Beauty if you are reading this please take it to heart about tweety bird! You know i love ya and i never want you to look back and wish something else!) If you go around and ask parents or something what is one thing you wish you would have done, most likly they will have a ton of things that they could tell you about. I dont want to be like that when i get older. Truth is though.....everyone screws up but you dont want to dwell on that. You want to think o well what can i do here and now to make that better! Cause that will get you alot farther than sulking around all day saying pity pity me! I know it sounds sad but people should really live like they were dying more! I am just saying, i mean think about it! If you knew you had a year left to live, you would go around telling people how you felt and getting things done that you have wanted to do for a long time and live in that year more than you did your whole life! When i get sacred about something i just think, well i have one life to live so i might as well live it to its fullest! But also remember that is not an excuse to do bad things, when i say live your life to its fullest i mean in a way God would want you to! I hope everyone takes this is heart and remember,"Do what you want to do, say what you want to say, and live everyday as if it were your last!"~Starlight

Nobody Ever "Wins" a War.....

"This is the war thats never won. This is the soldier and his call. This is the mother waiting by the fire, praying for her son. Pictures of you, pictures of me, remind us all of what we used to be."~(Song) Pictures of You by The Last Goodnight. Turn your volume on its playing on my blog!

No matter how you look at it, nobody ever wins a war. I know this is a much more sad topic than what i normally type about, but its true. Today in class they were taking donations for the soilders and our teacher played a video on the overhead about whats going on and it had a bunch of pictures from the war in Iraq and everything. So it got me thinking, when did somebody really "win" a war? I mean lets say nobody gets hurt at all, but they still had to leave their family. Lets say they didnt have a family, the soilder still has to live with how he saw other people live. Even though in the end some side always comes up with victory, is it worth the cost? It is amazing how people risk their lives difending freedom. They arent the heros you see in movies with powers and always ends up happily ever after. It is so diffrent, they dont have any powers, they dont have a bunch of people admiring them and giving them cool superman names, and they dont always get a happily ever after either. Yet, there they are doing it with dignity and pride, which they have EVERY right to do too! God bless you soilders of America and come home safe!

New Generation of Followers

As you may know from my profile, i am a very big Christian. If you want to know about me, well than you have to know that becuase it is the biggest part of my life! For about the first eleven or twelve years of my life i was always a Christian but i really hadnt felt anything like i did about a couple months ago at school. We do this camp thing at the first week of school. (I go to a Christian school) Wow i felt it there! It is the most amazing feeling too. Its like, you never think you will be alone again. That He will always be right beside you helping you along. Then even a shorter time ago, we were having some troubles with our school and the parents were having a meeting. The parents did nothing but fight and blame each other. We have highschool and middle school in the same building, its is a small school! So, one of the seniors asked me and some of my other friends that were sitting around outside the meeting if we could all come in to pray together for the adults. We were all in this pretty small, dark room and started praying. More and more student showed up and there was at least 50 students in that little room all together taking turns praying out loud. It was so powerful, i could see God and Jesus smiling at us for what we were doing for the school. Before you knew it most people were crying becuase of how powerful and happy we felt. One of the adults came in and sent an email to everyone about how the adults were in this big room all taking turns fighting and getting no where, while the kids were doing what they should have been doing....praying.

Most people think of Christians as people who have alot of rules and such. I and alot of my friends at my school, we are the new generation of followers. I like to call myself an updated Christian. I am alot like other teenagers, its true im not perfect and i dont wanna be either. Not till Heaven. I lisen to rock music and like goofing around with friends! Sometimes i get mad at people and say things i dont mean or i do things i dont mean. I like taking all those old rules and mixing them up a little to fit with todays life! I think thats what God wants me to do to, i feel it in my heart. He is telling me to be a new generation. I mean, i go to a church where they play electirc gutaries and play the drums during the song! I know that i will never lose my child like faith no matter what! Now all i got to say is......watch out world, cause the new generation is rising!

Future Writers of the World!

Well, chances are if you like to blog and write then you would enjoy writing a story! I am currently in the middle of one right now! I only started it about a month ago. I remember i started one two years ago and i kinda forgot about it, so i was thinking of starting that one up again but then i relised that my vocab from reading so much has gotten so much better. Just the way that i write stories is better! Even though i will always be a horrible speller! Haha! My advice is if you wanna right a story is to....yes you got it right, Reading! Yay! I think i mention reading in all my blogs! O well back on topic! It really does improve your writing though! It helps you look at first second and third person view format and lets you see which on you would be better at! It also gives you more ideas of what to write, though you should NEVER copy another author's work! First if you want to right, think about it for a couple days and jot down some notes on a piece of paper. Keep track of all things you want your characters to be and names and such! Also write down ideas about what you want to happen father on so that you can build up to it! But make sure you keep to the story line! That is the biggest problem i see with my story when i am writing. I want to move on to something and add a bunch of things at once, but what is good for you to do is to read over it and act like you did not write it and earse everything that you know about your story that you wouldnt know from just reading it. Then see if you can follow and what you schould keep secret and build up to! Well...there you go, now i want to see some future authors out there!Haha!Keep your mind wide open when you are writing and remeber everyone "Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into."~Gandhi

To be or not to be a Day Dreamer?

Ok, are you a day dreamer or not? I know for sure that i am a really good day dreamer, sometimes thats a good thing, sometimes its not. The title of this blog speaks for itself, is it a good thing to be a day dreamer or not so much? Most of the time i love it, i think its what makes me like reading so much, being able to picture it in front of me and everything. The only time that it is bad is when you are in school! Wow, i have had so many teachers in my life tell me to "stop day dreaming" or "get your head out of the clouds" mabye even "are you in la la land again?" Did you know day dreaming has actually been proven to help people think through things in a way they wouldnt have normally? Its just depends if this is the time to think through it! Dont get me wrong i am a very good student, which is why a handful of my teachers actually let me day dream in class, becuase they know i am really paying attention even if it looks like im not! Every now and again they call on me for an answer just to be sure! Haha! The thing is, everyone has to know their limits. You need to think, ok am i still going to be able to pay attention, or will i totaly get lost? Day dreaming actually helps me go to sleep, when i am laying in bed i take diffrent situations each night and play them out.....before i know it im hitting the alarm off on my phone in the mourning! The fact is that day dreaming can help you and hurt you, just day dream about that for a while! Remember everyone, "Wisdom begins in Wonder!"~unknown
