Today is the day

Well folks it's me again.

We got back from church camping around 12 Sunday night, or Monday morning however you want to look at it. It was fun. But it wasn't near cold enough. That was almost a ripoff. My fall seems to have gone on strike. It's warm and unfun again. So on Sunday we had a fan blowing on us while we played games. Do you know what a ripoff that is?? Oh the pain, Oh the tragedy. But as my little monkey friend also says, "Everything is beautiful, in it's own way." It was a lot of fun. We had lots of guitars, lots of laziness, and excellent food. And we actually got to have a fire and sing, "We want S'mores." It's a great song, you should learn it sometime. I never actually ate one but that was fun none the less.







































Today is my birthday. =) I've been eagerly awaiting this day. And it's finally here. Birthday's are good but they're really sad and scary too. When you stop to think about it. Which I do. I shouldn't borrow trouble. But I do. So I get all depressed that another year is behind me and I'll never get the chance to be that age again. But that's part of life, I guess. Someday I'll never have to get old. It's been a pretty good day other than my contemplations. I ate out twice. My dad took me out for lunch and my family took me out for supper. I feel really fat right now. I'm supposed to eat cake yet too. Got cool gifts from my family. Had my little cousin, Emily, who is actually in the picture with me up there, call me to tell me happy birthday. And Alairia called me to sing happy birthday to me. It was so so cute. I wish I could have recorded it. But I couldn't.

I am really lacking in comments. =) HINT, HINT!!!!

Again I leave you with a song.


Scattered words and empty thoughts
seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
seems I don't know where to start
but it's now that I feel Your grace falls like rain
from every fingertip, washing away my pain

I still believe in Your faithfulness
I still believe in Your truth
I still believe in Your holy word
even when I don't see, I still believe

Though the questions still fog up my mind
with promises I still seem to bear
even when answers slowly unwind
it's my heart I see You prepare
but its now that I feel Your grace fall like rain
from every finger tip, washing away my pain

The only place I can go is into your arms
where I throw to you my feeble prayers
in brokeness I can see that this was your will for me
Help me to know You are near

I still believe by Jeremy Camp
