State of Grace

This is a song from Taylor Swift's new album Red, and I just wanted to write about how I could relate to the songs on this album...

It's a fact: people kinda get caught up in life that they forget how to live. That's all we know. We can't see someone special come until its too late. They sneak up on us... When your prepared and searching for something 'good and right and real', it might just not be right. We love a person or an idea so much that when you wake up, when the daydream ends, your left wondering if its worth it. And it does make our hearts bleed. But remember, the bleeding will stop. Either that, or that was something you can't live without... Once you realise that you can't see the best kinda loves coming, it will change you in a better kind of way.

If you find out that kind of love, the sneaky kind, its amazing how quick your armour will fall. How much you realise that you want the other person to know you. How much you realise that you want to know them. And if its a real love, you learn to love even their faults, to help them with their heartbreaks, and to stitch back together the pieces of them that at ripped. And that's when you know it's worth it.

And this is the part where you start to believe without a doubt that something real is happening in front of you. Something worth the fight. Something that's more then a game, or a relationship status. Something that most importantly comes from what God gives us. And you know~ God gave this person to me for a reason. I have to know why. And as you grow with this person, you realise that God is so much better then you deserve, all that you need, and more wonderful then we can ever know. The idea of a real love~ that only can come from God, the idea of a right love~ that comes from knowing Gods plans for us, but the idea of a love that's gonna make it in this life... that also comes from God, not from what we feel. And that's what makes it good and right and real...

What do you think of this song?

Fall/Winter

Most people usually like the sunshine and warmness of summer and all that. Some people like spring because its all green and new. But I'm not like most people...  I like cold because you can't be warm without first being cold. And rainy days make everything prettier. The grass after it rains is sparkly, and while it's raining, the noise on the roof is sooo pretty. And when it rains, you can do more things then you can in sunshine and get away with it. Like, if you went out dancing in the rain, people might look at you funny, but no one would think your crazy. If you did that in broad daylight, they might. My sister absolutely hates the rain. But the rain is magical. It's water dropping from heaven. And that makes it more magical. I do believe in magic. Some people call them miracles, some people call it luck, but when God does something amazing that your not expecting, there's something magical about it. Are you a rain hater or are you a magic lover?

Maybe I'm biased because everything special happenes in winter/fall. Like Catalina, Haloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, my birthday, valentines day, and all that. Plus, rain makes everything else more magical. Like tea, baking, Christmas presentations, Christmas lights, and apple cider. And Christmas always smells good. Like cinnamon and baking stuffs in the oven. And everyone is reminded why we have Christmas. And then there's the Christmas songs. I sing them all year round. Brody likes jingle bells the best, and everyone is happy at Christmas time. It's a crime to be anything but happy during Christmas time.

I know it's too early to be writing about Christmas, but I'm so excited about it this year! So I hope you all have a magical and enchanting holiday season!

What most People don't care About

Have you ever had that feeling that people write you off at first glance as shallow and weird? I know I'm not perfect. I know that I don't always say the right things. But that doesn't mean that I'm shallow. The next time you see me/talk to me try to get to figure me out. One day you'll  find a friend who cares about your problems and tells you theirs. Who doesn't take what they see at first glance to be all there is to you. I used to have someone like that, but that's the way these thing are... To those of you who have a friend like that, don't take it for granted. Best friends are what makes life special. 

I don't want people to know about me, I really don't. I am as boring as they come (homeschooled ;]), but I want to know about people. People are so interesting. Older people have such amazing stories, and we little ones think that we do. I like getting to know people though. Because that's when you see their reasoning, the way they see the world. And that, to me, is interesting. 

If you are brave enough, post something about 5 or so things no one knows about you ;)

Abortion

This is the paper I just wrote for my English.

     Abortion~
  A pre-born child between the ages of 8-9 weeks has everything present that will be found in a fully-developed adult. Her heart has been beating for more then a month, the stomach now produces digestive juices, the kidneys have started functioning, and fingerprints are already evident. The baby responds to touch, and will curl her fingers around an object placed in her hand. Recent studies indicate, that even at this early rate, a pre-born child experiences pain.

  So why do so many women commit to trying to end a life before its even started? To kill such an innocent human being? Someone who is precious to God and for whom God had designed a plan? Is it because it would be an inconvenience to the mother? Is that all that a persons life is worth?

  Each year, well over 1.2 million babies have their choices taken away from them. On a daily basis, that's over 3,700 babies a day. We are killing our future! The constitution says that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There should be 1.2 million more babies a year to experience these rights. Take a stand.
