so far this morning has consisted of sleeping in till 8:30, music listening{currently listening to An Epic No Less} and eating cherry cordial ice cream and a bagel for breakfast. yes its quite nice. i've been real busy lately, tuesday and yesterday I had achievements tests which went much better than I thought but im glad they are over. ha ;) and that explains the lack of blogging, i've been busy and have been drained physcially and a bit mentally. and really, i'm busy the next week or so. don't you wish life would just stop for a bit? or get less busy? oh well... some of the busyness has been and is going to be awesomeawesomeawesome. like that time I went to that concert and met Anthem Lights. yeah, I like that busyness. (more on that later). OR that The Avengers is coming out NEXT THURSDAY(more on that later). and my friends and i are having a superhero movie marathon. yeah, I can do that too.
in other news...
i'm kinda liking my new tumblr layout a whole lotta lotta lot. see?
oh! and my lovely friend and i have started a Hunger Games tumblr blog! its pretty sweet if we do say so ourselves. check it out, plus it has a cool name.
[i'm not writing this to get sympathy or "its gonna be ok"'s. this is my blog, my life journal, a place to share my real life and real life feelings and so i am.]
im struggling. we had a long stressful week and that has taken a toll on me[the reason why i haven't been blogging]. physically, emotionally and mentally, i have no energy. even sleep isn't cutting it. it feels like there's nothing left in me. i'm shot. its going to take me a few days of rest and no stress to get back to "normal" but i'm not sure what normal is anymore.
It just blows my mind of what Christ did for us. He loved us SO much that He DIED for us to save us from our
sins. He endured great pain and agony for us. A crown of thorns on His head and nails in His hands. That should of
been my thorns and nails. But He loved us so much He took carried the cross for us. To redeem us.
To make us new creations in Him. He gives us eternal life when we confess that we are sinners and that He is the
King of Kings and He is the only way to way, truth and life. He endured great pain and agony for us. A crown of
thorns on His head and nails in His hands. All for us. Another thing that blows my mind is that He wants a
relationship with us. with YOU and ME. Sinners, dirty and unholy. Christ desires to be the Lord of our lives.
We are called to live and strive to become more like Him even through the hard trials of this world. He will never
leave us or forsake us. Jesus Christ has overcome the world. I pray that everyday I would continue to give
my life to Christ and let Him mold me into the person HE wants me to be. His hope brings me joy. He showers me
with grace and mercy and loves me unconditionally. that is amazing.
I pray that I will never ever take for granted what Christ did for me.
[This song is my absolute FAVORITE worship song and a top favorite of all songs]
You stood before creation Eternity within Your hand Youspoke the earth into motion My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure Carried the Cross for my shame My sin weighed upon Your shoulders My soul now to stand
So what can I say What can I do But offer this heart O God Completely to You
So I'll walk upon salvationYour Spirit alive in meThis life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand
So what can Isay
What can I do
But offer this heart O GodCompletely to YouSo I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it allSo I'll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Have a wonderful Easter thanking and praising Christ for the ultimate sacrifice He made.
Life is beautiful. because Christ is beautiful and mighty and I'm so thankful that He gave me this life to live and glorify Him and love others. Ah, the gift of love is beautiful and fulfilling. I'm SO blessed to to have many people I can love and who love me.
Today I am celebrating life and beauty that God gives us :)
Day 28: Hopes, Dreams and plans you have for the next 365 days-
I pray in the next year I would draw closer to Christ and serve and glorify Him in everything I do and say. That I would live my life out loud and love like crazy. To reach out to those who God puts in my life who are in need and that I would show mercy and compassion.
I would be healthy and fit and would feel confident about myself. Continue to be gluten free {almost, just staying away from flours, breads, pasta etc.} and working out regularly. Find joy and strength through the pain. Do my school work will diligence and perseverance.
And that I would take time and enjoy the everyday blessings and pleasures :)
thank you so much for all the happy birthday notes :) they made me smile♥ y'all are awesome :)
I have been so blessed by Jessica's (also known as Far From Perfect) blog. Her love for Christ is so beautiful and her honesty about faith,friends and life is refreshing. She inspires me to strive to draw closer to Christ and love others. Jessica is also going through some physical struggle and she has been such an encouragement to me. She wrote the words of my heart in a recent post of hers, God is good. Always. I needed those words. God has put her in my life, right now, for a special reason and I'm so grateful!thank you God for bringing Jessica into my life:) ♥♥
The Green Bay Packers are doing great! though, I must say I'm not a big fan about their colors but they are kinda growing on me ;)
It was so funny because on Sat. we didn't realize that their game was on sat. (which football is supposed to be on sundays!! duh?!) and we realized it was on and quickly flipped on the tv and right as we got on the game, they made a touchdown! so my dad said that they needed him, to get a touchdown. My dad is such a coach at heart so he is the coach that the teams don't know they have ;) All of our other teams have done, how do I put this, umm...badly!
*Minnesota Vikings*
*Cincinnati Bengals*
*New Orleans Saints*
they were doing well, but then they went coo coo or something ;)
*Baltimore Ravens*
although they did well, right up to the point when it really counted!
its so sad! oh well... there's hope for thePackers! :))
I was really disappointed with the movie Despicable Me.
The commercials I saw for it, were cute and funny but the movie wasn't what I hoped it would be. Ok, the girls were really cute but that's about all I liked about the whole movie.
There was some just stupid crude humor and to be honest the storyline is lame. If you like and enjoy the movie, I won't judge you! These are my thoughts and opinions :)
I will be writing some posts about gluten free eating; sharing recipes that I like, struggling with the temptation of those cookies or pop tarts(oh darn, I gave into that one. this pop tart is really good ;), how its helped my health and more! Are there any gluten free readers out there?! I'd love to get to know you! :)
last but not least..... I watched Night at the Museum for the first time on Saturday. and I loved it. It was really funny and for the most part, very clean!
Its really refreshing to watch a good movie with all the trashy movies being made nowadays! I heard that the 2nd one is good too. Have you seen it? What do you think of it??
well I can't find her blog. I've clicked on her button and googled it her blog name(Living for His Purpose/Emily's Cancer Blog) and when I click on it, it has an error message.I've even tried it on different computers so I'm wondering if they've deleted her blog or something like that.I can't even get to her little brother's blog. Is it just me or has her blog disappeared?? I really hope it isn't!!

I've come to the fact that I'm expecting too much out of myself regarding my gluten free eating plan and exercising plan. I hate to say that but working out every other day is just too much. My body can't take that with all that I've been through and what I am going through. I get Jillian Michael's Losing it newsletter everyday and one day it was about making setting goals that you can accomplish and work your way up to bigger challenges(read it here) It reminded me that I can't just plunge right into working out or eating gluten free or really can't jump right into many things in life. I was feeling bad when I couldn't not eat gluten for just 1 day or I had to stop for a few mins while doing an intense workout. I need to start small and work my way up. When I first starting thinking about this I thought " I feel like a lazy slacker or I need to do more!". But if I take it slow and accomplish small goals then I can work my way up to greater challenges. So I'm going to work out 2-3 days a week and work my way up to eating gluten free all the time. so if I eat some bread or a granola bar for a snack then I do and I keep going on. I'm not going to just eat whatever I want but I'm not going to beat myself up for eating something that's not GF free. I've also thought of the idea of at night writing down the things I've accomplished that day. So I write if I went the whole day without eating gluten or if I ate 1 meal GF or exercised that day. I'm going to do this with Bible reading, I really need to get in the Word more and so I'm going to start in Genesis and read 1 chapter everyday( we are doing this in our youth group at church). That way during the weekend I can look at the the goals I've accomplished during the week and be encourage but also look at the things I can work on during the next week :) So those are my ideas and thoughts!
That was a lot longer than I expected it to be! if you read through all of it congrats ;)
and yes I have 2 Taylor Swift songs on my playlist ;) Never Grow Up and Tied Together with a Smile. They are really neat songs and they don't involve any boys!! ;D Never Grow Up is such a sweet song, even if you don't like Taylor Swift please take a listen. I can relate this song to my little brother and sister and the little kids we(my mom and I) babysit. There is a little girl who is 8 or 9 months,who shall be called Cupcakeand she is so.adorable. seriously she's the cutest little thing! when I first saw her and held her when she was just a few weeks old, she created a sweet and very special place in my heart :) We watch her older sister, who shall be called Muffins(which is is her real nickname ;) and she is such a sweetie also. Cupcake and Muffins are my "adopted" sisters ;) wow, I got way off track ;P so the main thought of this section is that I would really like to keep the little people in my life to stay little. they grow up so fast and I'm learning to treasure every moment with them :)
I really didn't intend this post to be long but it is. I've been sitting at the computer for like *ahem* 2 hours. I've probably killed hundreds of brain cells and I won't be able to think for the rest of the night. oh well, the dead cells will be replaced quickly... I hope. ;)
hope you are having a great week, serving Christ and loving others :)
I was inspired by the lovely Carlotta to do a Confessions post. I'm not perfect and I want to be real about my life and myself :)
confession- I feel like crud today. I woke up around 11:30 this morning, feeling terrible. ugh
confession- I'm really failing my "working out everyday" and "eating gluten free"New Years Resolutions.
I haven't worked out since Friday and I've eaten more food with gluten in it than food that's gluten free.I'm.so.unmotivated. and that ice cream was really good ;)
confession-I really love my skinny jeans.When they first became popular, I said to my family and friends, I will never wear those! they are hideous.(skinny jeans are "tightest" jeans i will wear, jeggings are over the top) but when SarahLynn was visiting, we went shopping with my mom because I was in dire need of jeans and I just tried on a pair of skinny jeans for laughs. but the more I had them on, the more i liked them! they weren't skin tight, if they were tight there's no way they would passed the Dad test ;) and they make look more slender which is nice ;) I wear them 3-5 days out of the week. you should really try them :)
confession- twitter my 3rd favoritest online hangout. You can find me at @overcome1496. my tweets are protected and I'm trying to keep my followers, people that I know fairly well either through blogger or in real life. so if I don't know you through through blogging or real life and basically you're a stranger wanting to read my personal tweets, sorry no can do.
confession- I loveCarrie Underwood's There's a Place for Us from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. love.it. Its such a beautiful song and Carrie's voice is one of the best and powerful voices out there. seriously go on itunes and buy it.
confession- As I read other girl's blogs I sometimes feel like my blog is so small and well boring. I know I'm not supposed to compare my blog to others but I do and I am. I mean, some of these girls have like 200 followers and get 25 comments per post. I'm not all saying that I'm not thankful for my followers and comments, I love you all and love your comments! but I still feel like my blog is blah. Is there something I'm missing?? Do you girls feel like my blog is boring? Are there subjects that I could post about more? please be honest :)
confession- My room needs some organizing. Going into the 2011 school year with an organized room with be great. but I really don't want to go through my school books,notebooks,papers,ring binders etc. and throw away old stuff etc. I wish I was Mary Poppins and I could just snap my fingers and everything would have a place and my room would be clean.
confession- Etsy is dangerous. seriously it sucks you in. There are so many cute and lovely things to look at.
Confession- I really want to like Taylor Swift.
and she does have a few songs that I enjoy and she's "ok". but most of her songs are about boys, breakups, you belong with me, yada yada etc. I don't my head filled with those type of songs, not that they're bad but they're about young love, crying because of a broken heart and then maybe getting revenge on a boy that broke your heart or something. I really like her voice and the way she writes her lyrics but I wish she would write more songs not about boys and love. Because I really want to like Taylor Swift.
Confession- I love history, I especially love the World Wars and the Depression.
I love reading and learning more about the Depression. I know that my sound mean, that I "love" the Depression, such a sad and extremely hard time in history. But I love reading about how people lived through such a terrible time and got through it. I know tons of people suffered and died but I just love that time period.
well as Carlotta said, that felt very freeing :) Do you have any confessions? Don't worry I won't judge you ;)
wait, what?! 2010 is almost over?! I can hardly believe but I'm looking forward to what 2011 will bring. 2010 was a tough year for me because of my health but I've also grown a lot. I've discovered how true that quote "when we are at our weakest God is strongest ( or something like that!) is. God allowed me to become so weak, physically and emotionally, so that I had to rely on Him for strength. Looking back, I only see how God has brought me through this year and He gave me love to show to others. There were days when I just stayed in bed because I felt so bad and I thought I wouldn't survive another day. I cried out to Him for any glimpse of hope or strength. He answered me with love,hope and joy! He said you can survive with my strength I learned that there is no darkness in Christ.I am a new creation in Him. That gave me so much hope and I still have some days when I don't want to get out of bed but He gives me strength to keep going. Knowing that He is in control and He is all powerful gives me joy. God has each of us right where we wants us to be, even when we don't understand why. He loves you and me and He has a special plan for each of us. In Him there is hope, love,joy and strength.
I've also discovered how much I love my friends! God has brought some really awesome people into my life to love. My friends are the sunshine on those gray days, they pray for me, encourage and make me laugh. I'm so blessed to go through life with them :)
My 2010 "word" was love (read the post here) I've struggled with loving some certain people in my life because they are so different from me. but its those people that I need to love. God has brought them into my life for a reason. I heard this in my youth group a while ago, you don't have to be best friends with everyone and if you only love them because they were created in God's image then so be it. I do "love" them because God has created them but I want to love them for more than that. It goes against ,y sin nature but it doesn't go against God's will. I pray that God would give me love to give to others, to the people that I don't really "like". That is a testimony of Christ. I strive to be a testimony of Christ's love.
I'm excited to see what God has in store for me and you in 2011!
Hope you have a great night with your family and friends!
*warning* this is a very long post but I have a lot of things to share with y'all
Wow. I'm sitting here thinking about all the things that has happened in the past few days. Where to start?? OK well I'll start with Christmas :) I hope you all had a great Christmas! I did :)
We went to go visit my dads family on Christmas eve and we got home late like midnight so I didn't get into bed until around probably 1:30 or 2. My 8 year old sister got up at 4 am!! That's a record in our house! But mom made her go to bed ;) around 9:30ish everyone was awake. I spent a few minutes by myself ( I was inspired by Annie to take a few minutes and read the bible) reading the Christmas account in Luke and then prayed. Then we all gathered in the living room and dad read a bible passage and the we opened presents! :)
Here's what I got:
I got this necklace from my parents! i had pointed it out to my mom one day ;)
This SUPER soft blanket! serioulsy its THE softest blanket ever! its just a little slice on heaven on earth :)
This really cute plaid shirt from my mom :) and it matches the blue vest ♥
I absolutely love vests!
I got some earrings ( i was in dire need of some) from my brother and sister :)
My dad got me some little iPod earrings! ( a girl in our homeschool group made them) they are so cute and they match the plaid shirt :)
My dad got me the movie Imagine That ( its a tradition that he tries to get me a decent movie for Christmas ;) Its a great movie! got a iTunes card, some crocheted things from my little sister, socks and lotion.
We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening with some dear friends. We had Christmas dinner, watched a movie, played games and just had a really fun relaxing evening!
On Sunday afternoon we had an unexpected surprise! my dad was given tickets to the Bengals and Chargers football game and he had tried to give them away but all of the people he asked, couldn't use them. So mom said well why don't we just go?! so we did!! It was f.r.e.e.z.i.n.g. and a few snow flurries came down at one point but we had a great time! and then Bengals WON! so that was a big plus ;) we had really good seats, so I got a few good shots but our camera does not have a very good zoom but I did my best ;)
my dad and little brother walking to the stadium :)
I took this picture real quick, I was doing my best not getting run over ;) thought the clouds were so cool :)
Ok now on to the tough stuff. Some of you know that I've been dealing with headaches for a long time now. Well I'd had one for a few weeks and on Tuesday it was so bad, I didn't hardly eat anything and I was very tired. I ended up going to the ER for an IV headache treatment. That's the first time I've really gone into the hospital for something "serious". and I already have a phobia about hospitals so that just made it worse! anyway, the treatment broke the cycle of the headache and i went home without one. the dr. wanted me to have no headache for at least 24 hrs. well I woke up yesterday morning with a slight headache :/ but I am ok with that because its much better than some of headaches I have had! but the dr. wants it 100% gone. So right now I'm drinking TONS of Gatorade and water, trying to keep my body hydrated ( because dehydration is sometimes the cause of headaches) and not eating gluten ( I notice a big difference in my headaches when I'm gluten free), but if my headache doesn't go away or gets worse I will have to go the hospital for 2-3 days to have a longer IV treatment that gets rid of the headache forever for 90% of the people that get it. I really do NOT want to go the hospital but I'm afraid that my headache will not go away. We have shared the situation about my headache with some dear friends and they have been praying for me which touches my heart. We are praying that God show us Hiswill clearly in this situation. That He would clearly take the headache away or that He would show us the right time to take me to the hospital. I am frustrated, a little afraid, and uncertain right now.but I know that Godis in control and that He has a plan for me and that whatever happens to me He will be glorified and praised. its just so hard. trusting in Him and trusting that He knows what He is doing. Please pray that God's will would be done and that He would clearly show us what to do. thank you dear friends :)
2011 is almost here! I can hardly believe it! I have a few New Years Resolutions:
I would grow in my relationship with Christ, continue to be amazed by Him and that I would show Hislove, grace, forgiveness, mercy and patience to others around me.
Be diligent in school ( which is an everyday resolution ;)
Be consistent in working out and eating gluten free. I really need to get my body in shape and I want to do it but I need lots of encouragement and diligence :)
I would be open and willing to whatever God has planned for me in 2011 :)
I want to go into 2011 with confidence and diligence that I can get in shape and that with God who knows what will happen in 2011!
This song about sums up my post. Hold by Superchick. I was listening to it last night and the lyrics are the words of my heart right now.
I probably won't be posting tomorrow so I'm doing my Thanksgiving post now :)
I've been blessed by God with SO much. I have a lot to be thankful for.
Here are just a few things I'm thankful for,
My Savior Jesus Christ. He saved me from myself and in Him I have Hope. I don't know how I would keep going without Him. In the past year, I feel like I've grown closer to Him through all my health issues. Some days I feel like my life is just falling apart then I read a verse, talk to friend, or listen to a song that reminds that I can go on with His strength and love. That I am more than my problems or mistakes. I am His and I am a new creation in Him.
My amazing family. Seriously I have the best family ever. They love and care for me even when I'm in my worst mood ;) Our favorite things to do together is snuggling up on the couch and watching The Andy Griffith Show or taking a hike or just hanging out :) my little sister will make me sweet cards saying "I love you" for no reason and my little brother will give me a hug or say something like "you're the best big sister ever". My dad never ceases to make me laugh and he would do anything for me if I need it. My mom is the best. She teaches me, laughs with me,. cries with me, helps me, and has incredible patience and forgiveness towards me! Those things and more are priceless and I'll be honest... sometimes I'm not very fun at all to live with but my family puts up with it and does a very good job ;) I don't know what I'd do without them!
My fabulous friends. One of God's greatest blessings! good friends are hard to find nowadays but I've got a great bunch of 'em. My friends will listen to me talk about the bad day I had or what I'm struggling with. And they will encourage me or just tell me to suck it up ;) just kidding!! :) We can laugh and talk about random girl things ;) I don't feel like I have to put on a fake face for them, I want them to see me just as I am- a beautiful mess. We can help each other grow spiritually, emotionally and physically. I love talking to a friend about how I feel and they say " i feel like that too!" knowing that I'm not alone. in the good times and bad. I love my friends and am SO thankful for them!
YOU! yes I'm thankful for you, the readers of my blog. You reading, commenting, and following is a blessing to me. When I started this blog I had no idea that a year later I would have almost 70 followers and meeting new people who are like me-striving to love and serve Christ and reach out to other people. and the encouragement and joy I get out of this blog is great! Thank you so very much :)
Awesome music. Music is a big part of me. I'm so thankful for the artists who write about things that God has put on their heart and create some really awesome and uplifting songs! Songs are the words of my heart when I'm speechless. ♥
Some random things that I'm thankful for :)

I'll leave you with this Thanksgiving prayer from the episode "A Time to Heal" of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. It sums up my post and I think its beautiful.
Dear Lord, Le us give thanks to God our Father for all of his gifts so freely bestowed upon us. For all the beauty and wonder of your creation and earth, sky and sea. For our daily food and drink, homes and family and friends, for minds to think and hearts to love and hands to serve, for health and strength to work and leisure to rest and play, for brave and courageous , for a patient in suffering and faithful in adversity and for all valiant seekers after truth,liberty and justice, we thank you dear Lord. Amen.
