gotta love life:)

good day! :D friends, i just love life! its just so good! i mean... ahh! my soul is so happy right now. just happy to be alive! :D its a very :D-ish type of day today. lets talk lifest, shall we?:)

its amazing. the end. :) yesterday it was storming pretty bad so i wasnt sure if my pals, gretchen and eric, and i would be able to go lifest after-all... BUT. we did go. and im very happy that we did. i just LOVE lifest. its so amazing. i was able to see a lot of my good pals, some who i havent seen in a while! i love them. my friends are my favorite. :) we listened to the band needtobreathe, and they were quite lovely! eric and i went to the merchandise tent and saw miss holly starr's little booth thing... she wasnt there at the time, but her pal pete told me that if we came back later, she'd be there. im a fan of hers, so that was good news! i was able to meet her, and it was great! shes such a nice person! i love nice people. :) shortly after that, we left... it was a good day! that was yesterday... time for today!

today was also amazing. :) eric and i went to lifest. i just wanna say... it made me so happy to see that he loved being there so much. it was great to see my "little bro" inviting God into his soul... makes me so happy! oh man, i cant even explain it!! oh, and my pal michaela called and said she'd meet us there, so that was good news! i ran into one of my other friends mom right after michaela said she was there... my other friend is also named michaela so that can be confusing haha. but basically, i was attacked by a hug and it made my day :D but yeahhh... we listened to some beautiful music and beautiful speeches. prayed. saw some more friends throughout the day... good times!

i was kind of sad when it all ended... cause today was the last day. but then i suddenly felt content. i mean... im gonna see alll those people again! in Heaven! that just makes my soul smile! and all the people there... they love Jesus! i love events like lifest... always gives me hope for the world. :) ya know, i have days where i just am so frustrated with the world. but, we're not here alone. God is here. and He always will be. and for that reason, i love life. :)

its a new day!

good morning and new beginning to you! :) isnt it amazing how you can just start over and change your ways any time in life? ahh its just such an amazing concept! oh life is good. and the fact that God will always forgive you and always love you! oh man! love love love. im gonna have one of those days where im just really excited about life.

we should live everyday feeling grateful... but the thing is, we often times forget how good we have it. im guilty of it. days where i just look for the negative in things without even realizing it. now why in the heck would i do that? well... im human. we're all human. k, unless theres like a dog reading this or something but... no.

why does it seem like its natural for us to be negative? i object to such ideas. lets all change the world right now and be optimists! all the time! can you imagine that?! we'd look at the positive in every situation! i think that sounds pretty awesome...

of course we're all going to go through obstacles in life that bring us down. and its not our job to hide our emotions. if we're sad, we shouldnt feel obligated to put on a happy face. but we should always have a joyful heart. a heart that knows we are loved. that there are good things waiting to happen. that there is a God and He has a plan for us. that He wont ever let us down... if we keep that joyful heart, we can get through anything. i promise. that joyful heart holds all the optimism we need. and today, im gonna go out into the world with a joyful and grateful heart. care to join me? :)

no idea what im doing!

well hello little blog world... im new to you. ahah, just thought i'd give it a try... all the cool kids seem to be doing it ;). i honestly dont think anyone is going to read any of this, and thats totally okay! if i thought people were gonna read it, i probably wouldnt have just written "totally okay"... oh boy, im such a loser. i guess i should probably actually blog about...stuff? yeah. ill just blog about my day to start out with.

today was pretty uneventful. it started with my dear father waking me up four minutes before my alarm went off... that was a slight bummer haha. but i just laid there for the extra four minutes because i wanted to hear my lovely alarm clock project mr. david archie's voice singing "a thousand miles" :) i like that song a lot.

sooo, after waking up, i had to quick get ready for a dentist appointment. fun stuff. before that, though, my mom managed to get me three lifest tickets for free... woot woot! lifest is this amazing Christian festival with music, speakers, a little market thing, and just amazing people. ohh how i love it. :)

but yeah, then i went to the dentist... no cavities! :D i guess the lack of soda for the past six months was a good move (i quit drinking soda after i got my first cavity). but... the x-rays showed that i need my four wisdom teeth removed soon. bummer. im not excited haha. other than that though, it was all good. me and the dentist person talked about my future and all that good stuff. oh man, my future confuses me a lot. okay, im moving on cause "my future" could be a whole big blog of its own... actually, it just might be. yep.

after the dentist, i had to find some people to come along with me to lifest either today or tomorrow... that was an adventure! my pal gretchen and her son are gonna go with me tomorrow:) *excitement* after that, i finally finished another song called "Pray" :). i had almost a month break of writing, which was a problem. so i gotta start writing more again:) then TJ and i played some music... thats always fun. :) and after that... well, i decided to make a blog. and thats where im at now:) just trying to figure out this crazy little system. (i sound like im like, eighty, haha.)

well if you read this... thanks!? sorry if i bored you too much! ill try to make my next post more interesting and/or insightful, k? :)
