Catching up...

Wow, i haven't been on here for a while. . . Not too much has really been going on here. But a lot's happened since the last time i blogged! I'll just share some of the stuff. May 6th, my life pretty much got turned around. Well... for a while before that date I just turned away from God. And in April I completely stopped even trying to read my Bible.
My sister kept on telling me that my life was at risk. But i didn't really pay much attention to her. After a while I began to do a 5 mile exercise dvd each day and i refused to eat. I began to just hate myself. Finally, May 6th I had piano lessons. And my piano teacher just stared at me when i walked in, and told me "You have absolutely no self-esteem. I'm getting really worried about you." It was right after I had a piano recital. I'm not exactly sure how I responded to that. But all the sudden she started bringing things out of the air, and i was amazed because it seemed she knew what i was doing and what was going on! She said "When i was younger I struggled all the time because of my weight. People called me "hips" and just said horrible things. All my siblings were skinnier than me! And i wanted to know why i was the fat one." She had tears in her eyes, and so did I. But she said "God loves you for who you are inside. Not because of your appearance. He wouldn't love you any more if you were skinnier. He would love you just the same. God made you like this, Don't you think it hurts Him to see you being so hard on yourself?" I shrugged. I didn't even open my piano book one time that day - we both just talked. It was funny, because just the other day my mom brought up the verse that God gave her when I was born: Zephaniah 3:17, and she told me another verse from Isaiah too. That day my piano teacher told me the exact same verses! and this wasn't planned or anything either! When i came back from the "lesson" i couldn't stop crying, but i turned my face hoping my sister wouldn't see me. Finally she asked "What's wrong?" and i just lied and said "Nothing." She just looked back at me and said "I know something's wrong, it has been for a long time. Come on tell me" I just started bawling and then i said "I can't. You just wouldn't understand." She just said "You can tell me, it's okay." Finally she stopped in the library parking lot and I spilled out everything. All the sudden she started to cry too! i asked her what was wrong with her and she's like: "I'm just thinking "why me? why me God?" Why do i have to be the one that everyone thinks is "perfect" why? I know he wants me to give myself up completely, but it's so hard!" I just looked at her and said, "That's why being a christian is so stupid. Everything is hard." she replied "It's worth it! Can't you understand?" Finally after talking for 1 or 2 hours I gave my life to Christ! My sister said she wasn't going to leave, even though she had worship practice, she didn't care if she would be late. She just wouldn't leave until I gave my life to Christ. And no, I didn't do it because I was forced to, I did it because i needed to. The second after I invited Him in, i felt totally relieved and new, and blameless. It was probably one of the best days of my life :)

Book review on Black Beauty

Black Beauty is a book written about a horse's life in his own words.

He started out in the hands of a good master, but later on he gets sold to people that misuse him.

The story was very realistic; and not the least bit hard to imagine.

The author's intention in writing the book was to treat horses with respect; and for other's to recognize how cruel some people can be to animals.

In the end Black Beauty is sold back to the person who used to work for him years ago, when he was a child. But now that man has grown up; and the man and the horse both reunite.

Book review: Light weaver

In the book: Light Weaver; A boy in his late teenage years gets in a car wreck. Daniel is sent to the hospital un-aware of anything that happened. 

He sleeps for days; and while in his sleep, he is sent to a peaceful place that is far away from home. There he meets a young women named Bliss, and a bunny named Napoleon.

When Daniel comes into this land, Bliss believes that he is a Knight.

And even though he keeps trying to make her understand that he is not, she just tells him "A knight is a knight," "He is what he is, and is called by times such as these. And yet i wish it were otherwise."

Bliss takes him to meet a friend of hers, Leon. Leon is quite doubtful that Daniel is a knight at first too. But Bliss keeps insisting Daniel show him his skill.

Even though Daniel had never really used swords, he had this confidence that he could do it. So he showed his skill to Leon; and the man was greatly impressed. 

Another great friend of Bliss's is a light weaver. His name is Costeau; and this man is growing old and is getting to the point where he can't keep up with his work anymore.

In this land, both good and evil forces reign. 

Later on, the book of light is stolen. The book of light is the Bible.

Daniel is sent on a journey to find it, and after he finds it; he wakes up in the hospital and meets everyone who was in his dream.

Silly Mac

That was about a year ago. It must've been the same day I got my Dog, Mac; Because I remember wearing that shirt. I don't remember my photo being taken, but, things like that happen...

So according to my estimates, this photo was probably taken May 8, a year ago. (And if your wondering what the white thing in his mouth is, it's a bone.) 

That was the beginning of living life with a dog :) lol

Mac is a yorkie-poo mix. He's pretty silly, stinky, and he can be weird sometimes... But I love him anyway.

For just a brief description of what he does: He'll scare the cat, and he will eat anything; for example: once when we were at church we came back home to see my little sister's valentine chocolate box 100% consumed. There were a few scraps of red all over the floor, but that was all. My sister was pretty mad!

And, Yesterday, my mom called to tell me that he was dancing on the table. My sister just laughed at this, and said "Just like his owner!" hahaha. That's partially true, But I haven't done that any time recently. Lol.
