Being 16 is actually terrifying 😳

Happy Sunday my friends! May we take time to remember this holy day ALL DAY instead of part of the day as I have been doing this morning 😬😬😬

As I was looking up the definition of insignificance it occurred to me that I'm getting closer to adulthood... We all are and it is the scariest feeling in the world! I'm always asked if I'm a sophomore or a junior because I look younger than I actually am (thank you very much!) but as a junior the responsibilities are endless! They expect you to know and do things right the first time! (Well that's how I think it is.) In all of this chaos, I forget to look to God thinking I can do it alone. But then I remember... Oh my gosh, I can't do it alone! I'm a small speck of dust compared to God and his universe!!! Yet, in his eyes we are precious and his masterpieces! Why? Because this was his plan. We are right smack in the middle of his plan of happiness as you read this! So that means the opposite of insignificance, right!? We. Are. SIGNIFICANT to his plan! We were not born to do this alone. That's why we are given families, friends, peers, etc!!! Satans job right now is to make us feel insignificant. But we can fight him off because he is weak compared to us. 2 Samuel 22:4 says: I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. We can and WILL be saved, he is waiting to save us everyday if we call upon him. I need to understand this concept as I go through my sixteenth year of life. Yes, I'm young... But I have a job, I'm involved in guard and national honor society at school, and I have a wonderful boyfriend! Life is crazy, but also very short and when rely on the Lord, we can feel very significant and change other people's lives. 
Love you all, have a wonderful week!

I'm almost there! (Or so I think)

Wow I'm such good blogger! I love reading what I have said in the past. Anyways lets get down to business! Graduation for me is coming up in a short 18 days! I can believe it because it feels like the time is so slow but its actually almost here. Can't wait for what life brings me after I graduate HS.  While being in High School I've learned this lesson: It is okay to not be okay all the time. I've cried way too much in High School and it's been an emotionally journey for me. Hormones are real. And so are girls attitudes.  I guess why I say this is because these past few months have been harder than when I lost my boyfriend, but they have been a lot easier to heal from. My favorite guard director left our team unexpectedly because they were dealing with a ton of crap in their life. I understood why they had to leave, but I was angry that they left without saying goodbye. I miss them so much. But I was able to move on from that trial only because I had faith th...

That's the last time you are telling me something I'm not.

Thanks to Facebook memories today I was able to reflect on my first band camp 6 years ago. Wow what a ride colorguard was. I guess why I start off by talking about my marching band experience is because it is really the only thing I kept up with throughout my high school career. I learned a lot, I got a lot of bruises, swollen bumps, and even a black eye! Crazy to think that people think it's easier to do marching band than football sometimes.  Anyways, as much as I loved competing and being a part of something breathtakingly beautiful... I was bullied in colorguard. Not by the students, but by my first colorguard director. I don't really remember what I did to deserve the disrespect of said director. Maybe I was being rude, sassy, selfish? I was a pretty annoying teenager. Going into my second year with the marching band, there were leadership opportunities for those people who marched at least one season the previous year. My best friend at the time was going to try out for...
