maybe you.

She says she's just a girl

I think there's something more

She says You changed her world

And the smile on her face is a dead giveaway

And I just got to know

So won't you tell me

Is there something more to You

Maybe You could be the one for me

And turn my life into

Just what I need

Maybe You could save my soul

Maybe You could be my best friend, too

Maybe You

There's something in her eyes

Something behind her smile

She says You changed her life

She says no one knows her like You do

She says she's nothing without You

And all I know is that I need You, too

Cause I can't see her without seeing You

Hey guys, as usual this is like my monthy post. Let's see what has happened...

-I got about 12 or 13 inches cut off my hair:) I love it

-I started my new semester of school

-I went to MEAFORD! Wayy up north with my friend April...for a youth rally weekend with her church. It was a lot of fun...despite the fact that I didn't believe her when she told me that it would be freezing cold up there...and I came practically with nothing warm to wear and froze all weekend:p. The snow was like up to my waist!

-and that's pretty much it, I can't think of anything else...I'm not much into blogging I prefer my MySpace (sorry to all the faithful bloggers)

halo

heyy so today's my birthday so I woke up and went out for breakfast with Kristin. What're the chances that one of your best friends has the same bday as you? I love it.

This weekend was mid winter sing in Kitchener...good times. hmm what else... tomorrow I'm cutting off 10 inches of my hair to donate for cancer. I'm excited and nervous ahhhhh.

I'm done exams!!!! I had FOUR and it was awful lol. I'm done my piano exam..which was on the 17th and I'm finally free of all these annoying things!!

The title and description from my blog came from the song Halo by Bethany Joy Lenz.

lol don't ask about the above. "unknown person" aka lysha with toy story toys. It was from on the weekend at Beth and Michelle's house.

for lindsay.

I was thinking

over thinking

cause there's just too many scenarios

to think about

to figure out

if you're my dream please come true

'Cause I know you're hurting. So put down your burdens.

Crucify your doubts and just reach out. Reach out to Jesus.

Embrace him.

I throw up my hands.

"Oh, the impossibilities"

Frustrated and tired.

Where do I go from here?

hey hey, can you hear anything i say? i'm feeling unwanted, that's not what i wanted and attention to me is something you refuse to pay. so tell me tell me what will it take? to get this through your head and tell me what will it take? until you see things through from end to end.

Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong.

aw lindz i love you. i hope things get better soon. it's awesome how we've become friends this past year or two. RK-sooo amazing. that was the best night! me and april trying to find you- that was a task in itself lol. matt. lol-good times. math class---ahhh only a few more weeks and we'll be done. we'll get through it-we HAVE to. no way we can survive that class again. we've already gone through so much trouble for it- who knew skipping was so much STRESS? stay strong in your love for our God. always trust in him and he will carry you through.

We are troubled on every side,

yet not distressed;

we are perplexed,

but not in despair;
Persecuted,

but not forsaken;

cast down,

but not destroyed;

2 corinthians 4: 8-9

I hate the world today but I love this life you have given me

live. love. learn. grow. change.

experience. make mistakes. take chances.

accept. appreciate. respect.

live in the moment.

•The world's view:

live - as if there's no tomorrow

love - as if you've never been hurt

learn - knowledge is power

grow - don't let anyone stop you from being who you want to be

change - you have the freedom to be whoever and whatever you want be

experience - the world and all it has to offer

make mistakes - what better way to learn?

take chances - you'll never know unless you try

accept - every belief, every value, every hope, every dream, as if one is not better than another

appreciate - the things we and others have accomplished, created, and even attempted

respect - others and the way they chose to live their life

live in the moment - you only live once

•contradicting:

live - when that "no tomorrow" comes what are you going to say when you stand before Jesus?

love - sometimes it's remembering those hurts that reminds us never to love before we're ready to

learn - hold on to the Lord's teaching and His truths; it will set you free

grow - what happens when you've gone too far?

change - we were created exactly the way God wanted us to be, don't fight it

experience - seeking to find joy in the world will only bring you pain

make mistakes - "Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid." (romans 6:1-2)

take chances - fine, as long as you're willing to be accountable for them all

accept - "I am the way, the truth and the light. No man cometh unto the father but by me" (john 14:6)

appreciate - it's not about what we can do, but about what God can do

respect - choose to live a life of sin? you won't gain my respect for it

live in the moment - what about when the moment is over?

•May it be:

live - because we are free

love - because He first loved us

learn - your knowledge of Him will lead you to Him

grow - in our relationship with You above all

change - You will help us make it

experience - Your love

make mistakes - He will pick us up when we fall

take chances - He will carry you through

accept - What He did for us and build your life on it

appreciate - what we are blessed with

respect - "love your neighbour as yourself" -but respect needs to be earned

live in the moment - every moment we are given is another moment of grace, so live each one for Him

Sometimes it's easy to fall into the world's way of living. It seems right. It seems logical. It appears to work out just fine. What happens when the moment is past? What happens when you fall further and further into a place where you don't want to be? What happens when there's no one there? People say: What happens when one day you realize life has past you by and you forgot to live it? But I say: What happens when one day you realize life has past you by and you forgot to live it for what it's for?

a look back.

It was a summer's day. Two girls swinging lazily back and forth on their swing set. Not knowing that much about one another, one girl says:

"So...when's your birthday...?"

"Hmm..Januaury 30th" was the reply.

"Oh my...me too!"

Jumping up at their "amazing" discovery, the two new best friends are instantly overwhelmed with the joy that only two little 5 year old could have.

This is my twelveth year of knowing one of my best friends in the whole world. I'm pretty sure I can say that after twelve years, no longer do things like that excite us lol. We've been there together through the good and the bad. Through growing up. All the summer days of walking and biking, running through corn and soybean fields, climbing in haylofts, eating popcicles, jumping on trampolines, and being kids. Sunset bike rides back to our homes when we finally admitted it was time to go home. Making our way through nine years of elementary school and into our third year of highschool. Making and loosing friends, growing and changing together along the way. Those times when we can just be quiet and it's okay, we just enjoy being with each other. Our first day of kindergarden, graduation, our first day of highschool, and years of sharing our own special day. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love you, and all the good times we've had, I know there'll be many more. You were my very first best friend.

yeah more songs

And I've collected all these thoughts • And I'm dying just to lose them • And if your words are true or not • I'll die trying to prove them • But I'll just have to accept • That my mind is so inept • And the only thing that's left • For me to do is to trust you (Relient K- The Truth)

Well I'm not feelin all that inspired at the moment to blog, but I haven't for so long so yeah I'm gonna post lyrics then. hbd raymond haha.

*ahaha...my friend lindsay and I totally got busted by the VP for skipping class the other day...then we were forced to go outside into the freezing cold to study for our math test...oooo the pain we go through for that class;).

• It's always nice to look out the window And see those very first few flakes of snow And later on we can go outside And create the impression of an angel that just fell from the sky - Relient K: In Like a Lion (Always Winter)

• I watched the proverbial sunrise

coming up over the Pacific

andyou might think I'm losing my mind,

but I will shy away from the specifics...

'cause I don't want you to know where I am

'cause then you'll see my heart in the

saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

Stop right there. Well I never should have said that

it's the very moment thatI wish that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.

I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

I'm ready to try and never become that way again

'cause who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.

Couldn't keep to myself enough.

And the things bottled inside have finally begun

to create so much pressure that I’ll soon blow up.

I heard the reverberating footsteps sinking up

to the beating of my heart, and I was positive that

unless I got myself together,I would watch me fall apart.

And I can’t let that happen again

'cause then you’ll see my heart in the

saddest state it’s ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

-Relient K (Who I Am Hates Who I've Been)

•I don't want to lose you coming down

With the whole world upside-down

I don't have a soul to trust in now

With the whole world upside-down

We are one, tonight

And we're singing it out

We are one, tonight

And we're dreaming out loud

And the world is flawed

But these scars will heal

We are one, tonight

(Switchfoot- We Are One Tonight)
