2012 was made up of: <i>laughter, new friends, spending 2 weeks in the summer with 3 of my very very best friends(it was beyond awesome.), my health both improving and getting worse, new doctors, more tears than i care to count, late nights, tons of love from my siblings, love, deep heart talks(mostly late night because that's when the best times are ;), coaching my 7 year old brother's soccer team with my mom(what an experience! it was so fun and i loved it), saw many movies in the theater with my dad and/or friends, lots of pain, learned to drive a ATV/ 4 wheeler, awesome times with friends, went through a super hard time when my mom hurt her back(wow, was that tough), felt amazingly supported by friends(aka the body of Christ) </i><b>and the biggest thing; </b><b>my eyes and heart were opened to just how mighty the Lord is. How much He loves. and how amazing His love is. I can't put it into words but this year was full of pain, heartache and struggle and in the midst I am comforted and speechless about my Jesus and His love. I'm so tiny compared to Him. So wrecked and a complete mess. HE is the beauty and life. His love covers my pain and heals my heart. The pain is even worth it because of Him and His love. I truly believe that all this heartache and trials are not for nothing. I don't know what the reasons are for it, </b><span style="font-size: large; font-style: italic;">why the way my life is the way it is but I do know He loves me and that counts for everything. </span><br />

also, we had to put our sweet girl, Bailey down the saturday before Christmas. She had been sick for a few weeks, had a heart murmur, arthritis and cancer. It was hard and I miss her like crazy but I love knowing she's not in anymore pain! Its a weight off my head and heart but my heart still misses her.<br />

<ul>
<li>that my relationship with Jesus would grow stronger and that I would continue to be amazed by His love and greatness. </li>
<li>that I would love my siblings more. sincerely, and intently.</li>
<li>that i would be the best friend I can be </li>
<li>that i would not compare. i've been battling comparison for a few months and have been working on my heart. I am ME. and that's extraordinary. If I'm comparing myself to others negatively I'm no longer me, I'm a impersonation of that person and that's kinda like dissing Jesus ;) In other words, I'm working on loving myself. </li>
<li>that i would remember, in the darkest times, that I am loved and supported so much.</li>

The most wonderful time of the year, that's my favorite season.

I'm thankful that even through my health issues<span style="font-size: x-small;">(update coming in my next post)</span>, I'm still able to enjoy the season :)<br />

hey all. I haven't forgotten about this blog. life is really hard right now. physically. and of course that wears on you emotionally and mentally. We went to a new Dr. a few weeks ago and they helped us pull all my symptoms together and the cause is my messed up digestive/immune system. so I'm taking supplements and on a low carb/no dairy(in addition to being gluten and nut free) diet. I'm still feeling awful though. we are thinking its either my body detoxing or i'm allergic to one of the supplements. we are going to talk to the dr. tomorrow and see what they think.<br />
its hard to keep going everyday. extremely hard. i'm discouraged and exhausted. God is faithful and full of love and strength which I rely on to get me through the next minute. There are happy moments....spending time with friends, my dad bringing home Redbox movies for me and sweet notes sent with chocolate. But like the Eleventh Doctor said, the good piles don't soften the bad piles very much. but they still count.<br />
Also, I repeat <b>Joshua 1:9</b> all day and night.<br />
<i>"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified. Do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you may go."</i><br />
<br />
There it is. Straight from Christ. Do not be discouraged. Be strong. The Creator of the universe has got my back. and He has yours too.<br />
<br />
love,<br />

<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NzGgX1DihPw" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
and i'm like that's really awesome. i want more.<br />
<br />

<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/09RUuTAM2H0" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
and that's when I'm like WHOA. HOLD UP. THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD. I mean, the guy on the cello is pretty much boss.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Happy October y'all!</b> Its hard to believe its October and officially fall. Oh fall, its my favorite season. Its just perfect. I'm especially loving it because we are having such a much more colorful and fallish-fall than last year where it just rained and the leaves were brown before they fell from the tree. The photo in the center of the collage is my absolute favorite instagram I've taken and I'm in love with it. I took it this morning when my family and I stopped at some beautiful trees to take pictures while out running errands.<br />
<br />
<i>Update on my momma</i>: She is doing a lot better compared to when she first hurt herself, but still is sore and can't do much. She will have physical therapy for 4 weeks starting Monday.<br />
<br />
<i>Update on me</i>: I have an appointment with a food allergy specialist on the 16th because this new doctor I went to last week said that there's not reason why I should have so many allergies/intolerances. now I'm having nutrition deficiency. She also said that I most likely have a germ/disease in my gut that needs to be healed. We are praying hard that this specialist has some answers and can help me feel better. In the mean time, I feel tired, more than sleep can cover and have a hard time dealing with all the emotions. but I'm so thankful for what i have and I'm reminded daily of how Christ loves me and he is so much stronger than life and its struggles. remember that always friends, don't stop fighting. You are loved by the most awesome God and its even okay to not be okay but never quit.<br />
<br />
with that said here's some of my goals for this week and month:<br />
<br />
<u>week: </u><br />
<br />
-workout 3 times. Including running, yoga and try a new workout.<br />
-respond to the personal emails that have been sitting in my inbox for *a while*<br />
-eat the best I can.<br />
-track food and exercises on Livestrong<br />
-practice a good night time routine (see month goals)<br />
<br />
<u>month: </u><br />
<br />
-workout at least twice a week(hopefully with mom getting better I'll have more time for working out)<br />
-try going to youth group (I've had trouble fitting in my youth group at church during the past year so I stopped going and starting serving in nursery and participated in a bible study. well this year, I've been in contact with my small group leaders and such and i feel like i should try it out.)<br />
-be positive<br />
-pray more<br />
-practice a good night time routine: computer/iphone off around 8/9, tv show/reading till 10:30. then sleep.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">what are your goals for this October?</span> its never too late! :)<br />
<br />
your friend, <!--3--><br />

Right now, mom is confined to bed/couch and can't lift more than 2 lbs. Its going to be a long few weeks but we''ll make it! We are so thankful for friends and family who have been praying and helping with my siblings, rides and meals.<br />

My little corner of the blog world here has been revamped. The title are lyrics from Brooke Fraser's song 'Shadowfeet'. Its a song that has touched my heart and soul in a unique way for the past few years.<br />

To be blunt, life has a lot gotten harder since I started blogging and I want to write about it more than I have been. The hardest struggle right now in my life is my health. The everyday not feeling well for almost 5 years now. I'm overall exhausted of it and it effects everything I do or try to do. Then my food allergies, the food that I can eat is so limited and I get so discouraged. Keeping up with my junior year schoolwork is very challenging. God's grace and my family and friends get me through each day. Some days are better than others(my "good" days) and I do love my life and I'm blessed. This quote by the Eleventh Doctor sums it up, </span><b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.999998092651367px;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17.999998092651367px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and... bad things.

I want to post more personal pictures and write more about my daily life and feelings.The feelings of striving to find that well-lit way. I may even get a little poetic! But I definitely won't forget updates about my latest favorite tv show or fangirl craze ;) </span></span><span class="line line-s hover" id="line_14" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-image: none; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: repeat repeat; border: 0px; display: block; font: inherit; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 5px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Also, along with throwing out Tumblr Thursday, I'm throwing out the name "Samarah" It was a name for the blog world, made up from all 3 of my given names when I first started blogging.

<div>
so as you can probably tell I'm not blogging as regularly as I used to. I have no excuses for this. I'm just not blogging as much. I still love it and love you all but I now I blog when I feel like it and have something to write about. No pressure whatsoever. I saw this quote the other day, "don't just instagram your life, live it." I've been practicing being present in the moment. that means no computer or phone while watching a movie with someone else. leaving my phone and computer in my room in the evenings when my dad is home. etc etc. now i LOVE my electronics especially now that i have an iPhone but I've got to remember to balance. in addition life is getting pretty busy, good busy though.</div>

<br />
<br />
who is ready for the Olympics?! I SURELY AM. And they're in LONDON. that means hearing British accents and seeing that beautiful place for 2 weeks straight. God Bless America and the wonderful UK. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm taking the test to get my drivers permit in 5 days. I'm really not that nervous surprisingly. hopefully I'll stay this way till after I take the test! ;) Everyone has said as long as i study I'll do fine. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 8 days I'm going to spend a week with some of my very favorite people, my friend Sarahlynn, her family and another friend who lives here. Yeah, a whole week. with 3 of my favorite teenage friends. I really cannot wait. We are going to see The Dark Knight Rises together, its going to be epic. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
fourthly, I'm assistant coaching my little brothers team with my mom. this will be an adventure. it will be the first soccer season I won't be playing and now I'll be teaching 7 and 8 year old boys :o) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so basically at the end of the week I spend with my friends, my summer is over. but oh well... this is life ;) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
how is your summer? are you excited for the Olympics?! </div>
<div>

Gah, its been forever since i've posted! I have no reason or excuses, i just haven't. which is okay :)<br />
<br />
I have 1 question though, how did i still get hits and readers during the (almost) month i didn't blog?! haha ;)<br />
<br />
hmm...the last time i posted, i mentioned that my family and i were going on a trip to visit my mom's family. We did and it was pretty nice! It was super hot, like over 100 everyday but it was fun nonetheless.<br />
<span style="text-align: left;">I learned how to drive the ATV and that's was pretty cool :) the only way I went outside during the day was taking rides/giving rides on it haha ;) </span><br />

So last week I started this new workout regimen that was different than I had been doing and after 3 days I was SO sore. on friday my back hurt so bad I could hardly walk and my neck was aching. needless to say I didn't do it for a few days and yesterday I did one of my regular workouts and it felt sooo good. I did 2 miles on the treadmill while listening to Lecrae's pandora station(which is legit by the way)<br />

I hope you all are having a good week! I've been busy with babysitting, working out(I ran 2 miles on tuesday night! no excuses.) and getting ready for our trip. we are leaving at 5am on saturday morning :/ I'm going armed with music, books and movies and a pillow and blanket for sleep ;) (which i will hopefully be doing a lot of). </div>

those are some shots from my monday so far. its gorgeous out...the air is off and windows open! its so sunny and breezy :) We are leaving this weekend to spend a week visiting family about 10 and 8 hours away so I'm slowly getting this together and ready for that and checking things off my To Do list. packing my clothes stress me out, anyone else? I can pack food, electronics and everything else fine but i'm always rechecking and making sure I have enough clothes and if I have that one favorite tank or have enough socks ;)<br />
and that soup... Cheese Potato Broccoli soup to be exact. yum yum YUM.<br />
<br />
one of the things on my To Do list is to take my little sister to go see Brave tomorrow! I'm so excited! She's only been to the theaters once before and I know she will be thrilled when I tell her plus I'm looking forward to seeing the movie too ;)<br />

that's been my saturday. then add my little brother falling outside off the tree house and having to go to the ER at 10 this morning. (he's okay but his face is swollen and bruised.) I have an awful awful awful sinus headache. there's so much pressure pushing on all sides and its overwhelming. My mom is currently at good ole' wally world getting some medicine for me that will hopefully help. I thought i'd write a blog post to help keep my mind off the pain.<br />

--while we are talking movies, my dad and i watched The Prestige the other night. whoa. SO GOOD. I loved it. I was kinda lost the first 45 mins but I caught on quickly. PLUS it had Christian Bale(Batman), Scarlett Johansson (The Black Widow), Hugh Jackman(Wolverine), Michael Caine(Alfred, Batman's butler) and Andy Serkis(Gollum in LoTR) so an awesome cast. I highly recommend it.<br />

--remember when shared that i had lost a bunch of weight last summerish? welp, i've recently slacked on keeping it off and i've gained more than half of it back :/ yes, i'm a bit discouraged but I'm choosing to be motivated and not let it get to my head. i know i can get it back off and keep it off. it takes dedication and discipline. i've upped my workouts. for instance, last night I did an 1 hour of yoga and then ran a mile. i had to push myself so hard to run that mile straight, its been a while since i've ran but man, that felt SO good. I felt SO refreshed and energized and my headache was gone(or i didn't think about it)...for about 20 mins then I started feeling bad again. but it was worth it. and i think of how i felt with those pounds lost, that's motivating. I keep reminding myself that my weight does not define me. and it doesn't define YOU either. there are NO excuses when it comes to eating healthy and working out. absolutely none. i did that workout last night even though i had a terrible headache and had an extremely long day. make good choices everyday. you can do it!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">first off, The Hunger Games books and movie are not for everyone. its like everything else, some people like it, some poeple don't. if you don't like it please don't go around bashing it(ie leaving a negative comment on here, if you wanna have a reasonable logical conversation thats fine, lets talk. but just don't say, "ugh i hate it. its so bad, i dont know how you sleep at night." because I will tell you, I don't sleep at night. but really, if you wanna be reasonable and nice and voice your dislike thats fine but just don't go around hatin'.) there are some things that you should voice your opinion/dislike about but THG is not one of them. Okay so you hate it, goodbye. </span><br />
<br />
Most of the people I met/talk to about THG and dont' have a desire/dislike for it, say "Its about kids killing other kids." OKAY. There's more to the story! My response is, "Its about a government/power controlling and ruling everyone else. and the rebellion that takes place to fight against it." and thats what it is.<br />
<br />
I'm not one of those 'lover of the books from the start and had to wait 6 months for the last one' sadly, I wish I had discovered them sooner. I got interested in them when I kept seeing/hearing movie/book sauce about how good they were and how excited fans were to see the movie etc etc. So I bought the 1st book and well... it was all downhill from their. I now own the trilogy because I knew I'd want to read them over and over again. The characters, plot, writing and the whole thing is so good. I wont' waste time and space explaining the plot because I'm sure you know what it is. and if you don't, you probably live under a rock. honestly and personally I think they are some of the best books I've ever read and possibly the best books of this generation. plus they have some really really amazing quotes.<br />
<br />
Team Peeta or Team Gale? I'm Team Haymitch. There are no teams, there's not competition between Gale and Peeta. They were 2 different things for Katniss.<br />
<br />
Okay so I'm gonna mix my thoughts on the book and thoughts on the movie. :)<br />
<br />

We like characters in books and movies that we can relate too and I think everyone can relate to Katniss. A strong fighter who loves and protects her family and friends. Jennifer Lawerence did excellence portraying her, perfectly excellence.<br />

Peeta Mellark. He's my favorite (but he's a main character so he really is beyond my "favorites". I'll list my favorite characters and so just remember Peeta is my top top top fav.) probably one of my favorite book character ever. Suzanne Collins did an amazing job creating and developing him. Peeta has qualities that we should all strive to have.<br />

movie wise...<br />
I THINK THEY DID BEYOND PERFECT WITH CASTING HIM. JOSH HUTCHERSON IS PEETA. *sigh* that felt good. seriously, they hit the nail on the head, really with all the actors. and lets be real, how can you not love Josh? I mean really?<br />

I think they did pretty poorly with Prim and her mother. they are not all whiny and wimpy in the book. At many times they are Katniss' rock(in the books) and I love that.<br />

Haymitch. he' so great. He's a character with hidden griefs and sorrows and he tries to drown them in drinking but there's some sort of redemption when he meets Katniss and Peeta, I think.<br />

he was portrayed awesomely by Woody Harrelson. He wasn't as drunk as he was in the movie but that was fine, if he had been I think it would of been a bit annoying. He also gave comic relief which I loved.<br />

Cinna. He's my favorite. he's just awesomesauce. I love him because he is set apart from the rest of the Capitol, I think he was waiting for someone like a tribute to come along and who had a a streak of rebellion to help reveal/unmask his inner rebellion, slowly.<br />

<br />
The chariot/entrance/fire outfits were one of my favorite parts of the book. The way it was described you could picture it in your head and it was pretty sweet.<br />
<br />
Now, in the movie honestly I was a little disappointed with it but it is what it is.<br />

<br />
Effie. I feel a bit of sympathy for her, yes I know she sets up kids to go kill each other and 'play the game' but that's all she's ever known.<br />
<br />
She was portrayed excellently in the movie. just like I pictured her.<br />

<br />
the Scenery was fantastic, its basically what I imagined in my head.<br />
I really didn't have an image of the Capitol in my mind and so "the movie people" did really well with it and the Capitol people! Gosh they looked like exotic animals.<br />

<br />
ah the cave scenes. one of my most favorite parts of the whole series. lets be honest, I melted during them and had to close the book because I couldn't stand it. and then i read twice over. yeeahhh. they are pretty important in Peeta and Katniss's relationship.<br />
<br />
They did it pretty decent in the movie, it could of been better but I could watch a whole movie of cave scenes<span style="font-size: x-small;">(source: <a href="http://www.busybeelauren.com/">busybeelauren.com)</a> ;) </span>I'm takin' like it is. plus, the looks between the 2 of them were pretty fangirl heart melting and you can't feel that from a book ;)<br />
<br />
<i>some things I liked in the books and I did want put in the movie but now that i think about it, its better that they aren't: </i><br />
<br />
Where Katniss got the MockingJay pin from. From Madge. but that would of been too much for the movie and just another person to have to go into detail about.<br />
The Stylists-- love them in the books but again, it would of been too much for the movie.<br />
The MockingJay call<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed the score. the music in a movie is really important to me.<br />
<br />
<i>overall, the books are still the best. the movie compared to them is 'good.' and just in movie terms, its awesome. </i><br />
<br />

The past few weeks have been really long and a bit hard for me personally and this week, I was kinda at the end of my rope. I was reminded to focus on the little things. the little blessings that get me through each day and turn out to be some of the best things ever and make life worth it.<br />
<br />

I'm kinda in a blogger's rut as to what to post about and when I do have something it doesn't come out right.. then I thought about how I've been promising to post India pictures for for.eva. so here's the first part!<br />
<br />
So my mom left to go on a ministry trip on (last) March 9th, it was her first time out of the country and she had an amazing experience! She went with 8 other people and they helped with a conference for the pastors (current and to be.) and the pastor's families who are building churches in India.<br />

currently I am crashed on the couch from an awful headache that i've had since thursday. but yesterday evening and today it really ramped up. i stayed home from church this am and slept/watched The Two Towers in bed.<strike> then i dropped my computer from the top bunk but lets not talk about that. </strike> lets talk about the lord of the rings for a moment. more specifically Aragorn. why is he so legit? im dead serious. every time i watch the movies im more baffled by it. He's just SO. SO. YOU KNOW. if you've watched the movies and/or read the books then you know and if you haven't, I don't know what to say. only that you're missing out on the one of THE most epic trilogies ever.<br />

im currently thinking about how can it be June already, that bottle of cream soda in the fridge and the fact that I saw The Avengers for the 2nd time yesterday. ITS JUST AS AWESOME SO GO SEE IT AGAIN. NOW. and how to balance different things in life. yah, i've got all kinds of random thoughts in my head people. welcome to my brain. enter at your own risk.<br />
<br />
im currently feeling extremely thankful for the friends I have. and for new friends. looking forward to getting my laptop case in the mail this week and excited about the fact that i pre ordered my copy of The Hunger Games on amazon! {eekkkk}. also, feeling a bit overwhelmed/frustrated/stressed about school. I need to get my books finished by the August if I want August off. but my health{i.e. headaches} have been making that very hard. praying that i will find ways to override the pain or that it would go away.<br />
<br />

to wrap this post up, lets go back to fangirl me for a moment. one sentence and one picture.<br />
Loki is one of my TOP favorite characters. <span style="font-size: x-small;">okay, two sentences.</span> and yes, because its Tom Hiddleston.<br />
