well then,

yew gais, its like 1236.

I should be sleeping right now. I am not a night owl, by most means.

But, I kind of need to say something.
Up until now, my posts have been filled with pointless tidbits about my day.

no more.

I am here to say that I am God's girl. chubby sides and all.
I am nowhere in the nearest universe to perfect, and I know I won't ever be. But trust me, that doesn't mean I wont try. I'm stubborn like that.

To keep things rolling,
I will no longer "stand in the corner" about my faith. It will be outwardly proclaimed and shouted to the heavens.

there was a hiatus in my life where I was just unhappy. I couldnt find satisfaction.
I remembered that when I was little, I was so serenely happy; but I couldn't remember what had made me that way.
So, from my beginning years of elementary to the beginning of my highschool experience, I had this gaping hole of empitness that I could not seem for the life of me to figure out what needed to fill it.
Then, I met a certain someones with the initials S.O. and D.O. who invited me to this place. I was nervous about this place and didn't think I would fit in. This place was Woodside Baptist Church, and it felt like home. Everyone there was like family and treated me like I was this rare thing that no one else had. That I was super special.
I kept coming back to this second home whenever I could. But then, this home changed and my grandparents had shown me somewhere else where I had gone before that was average.
I liked listening to the pastor on Sunday mornings, and I got to see old family friends, so I figured I would keep it up.

Then, I found the most amazing and life-changing thing in my life with Christ. It is known simply as 1440 at Church of Hope. I have had so many amazing doors and opportunities to do the things that make me so happy through this group that words cannot express my gratitude.
I've made new friends, close friends where before I just had acquaintances surrounding me.
I went to a summer camp that flipped my world on its head and taught me to live my life inside out.

Now, as I sit here typing this testimony of mine that kind of popped out of nowhere, I realize that God brought me through all those hard times in the hiatus of my life to make this time that much more amazingly awesomely life-changingly jubilously incredible. And I love him that much more for it.

So, with eight days left of summer and loads of work already on my plate, I look at my junior year ahead of me and think how much more amazing its only going to get. I see that that hiatus of mine was the perfect length. And I see a life of awesomeness on the raod ahead.

And all I can do is thank God.




(by the by, I didn't expect to write that ^^)

I love you. all of you. so from here out, I'm going to live and walk and love as Jesus did. Let's do this.
