Not Just a Hero

“A soldier doesn’t fight because he hates what is in front of him, a soldier fights because he loves what he left behind.”

Change is Inevitable

People can stop loving us, people can start to dislike us, people change, and all we can do is adapt to it. It is hard to adapt to changes, but it’s inevitable. It’s part of life. We have to learn to live with it. That’s why feelings change, people’s emotions change as well. As well as their actions and the responsibility they hold. They don’t know what we go through for them, they’re blind, because the equivalent to our relationship is off balance.

"Halle-You-La!"

1 Tim. 2:14

Love is Deeper then just Skin, Its the way you feel about someone from the inside.

“Pacey, this is about how you carried my bag off the bus yesterday. This is about how when we go to the movies and you go and you buy popcorn you always make sure you bring back a napkin so I don’t wipe all the grease on my jeans. And this is about how just last week when we were at miniature golf, you took all of the shots first so I would know the correct path. You taught me how to drive. And last year at prom, you knew that the bracelet I was wearing was my mom’s. You kissed me first, sweetheart. The second time you counted to ten before doing it again just in case I wanted to stop you. You bought me a wall. We were alone on a boat for three months and you understood without a word why I wasn’t ready. So you have to ask now why I am? Pace, I’m gonna count to ten, and then I’m going to start kissing you. If you don’t want me to… then you’re just gonna have to stop me. [pause] Ten, my love.”

Marriage From A Kid’s Perspective

Marriage From A Kid’s Perspective



1. HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY?
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like
sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep
the chips and dip coming.
— Alan, age 10




No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to
marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who
you’re stuck with.– Kristen, age 10






2. WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
— Camille, age 10




3. HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at
the same kids.
— Derrick, age 8




4. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON
Both don’t want any more kids.
– Lori, age 8






5. WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
-Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know
each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
— Lynnette, age 8



-On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually
gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
— Martin, age 10






6. WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
-When they’re rich.
— Pam, age 7




The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn’t want to mess with
that.
– - Curt, age 7




-The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry
them and have kids with them. It’s the right thing to do.
– - Howard, age 8






7. IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone
to clean up after them.
— Anita, age 9






8. HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN’T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn’t there?
— Kelvin, age 8



And the #1 Favorite is…






9. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a dump
truck.
— Ricky, age 10,




Adorable. (:

Only Ten Days

The Final Flight

The Final Flight
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.


I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the end of the day.


If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.


Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.


Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Psalm 19:1-16

Frank O´Hara reads "Having a coke with you"

You can only see what people will show you and you can only Hear the things your willing know.

Crooked Forest-Crooked People

In a tiny corner of western Poland a forest of about 400 pine trees grow with a 90 degree bend at the base of their trunks - all bent northward. Surrounded by a larger forest of straight growing pine trees this collection of curved trees, or “Crooked Forest,” is a mystery.

He gave me every reason to believe I'd found the one, But my doubts somehow they sold me out

   I learned this summer that it isnt about what you did, but who you met and who you did it with.

I've had an AMAZING summer so far! I've been many places and fell in love with a city. I reunited with my future husband(; and rekindled my love for the south and coastal towns. As I sat down to write this thoughts went flowing through my head. I dont know where to begin though. I could talk about boys, I could talk about colleges, I could talk about family, or I could talk about how WONDERFUL God truely is. I learned these pass days that everything happens for a reason, that i am me for a reason.

God has a future and destiny laid out for me.

 
 

Lovely Advice

Health:
Drink plenty of water.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
Live with the 3 E’s - Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy
Play more games.
Read more books than you did in 2010.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
Sleep for 7 hours.
Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile.



Personality:
Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
Don’t over do. Keep your limits.
Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
Dream more while you are awake.
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
Smile and laugh more.
You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.



Society:
Call your family often.
Each day give something good to others.
Forgive everyone for everything.
Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
Try to make at least three people smile each day.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.



Life:
Do the right thing!
Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
The best is yet to come.
Your Inner most is always happy. So, be happy.

One Word. Emotional.

Don't Settle for Anyone...

Wait for the one who will be your best friend, who will drop everything to be with you at any time no matter what. Wait for the one who makes you smile like no other, and when they smile you know they need you. Wait for the one who wants to show you off when you are in sweats and have no makeup on, but appreciates it when you get all dolled up for him. Most of all, wait for the one who will put you at the center of his universe, because obviously, he’s at the center of yours.

Hochschwab Mountains

A rare natural phenomenon turns one of Austria’s most beautiful hiking trails into a 10 meter-deep lake, for half the year.






Located at the foot of the Hochschwab Mountains, in Tragoess, Styria, Green Lake is one of the most bizarre natural phenomena in the world. During the cold winter months, this place is almost completely dry, and used as a country park where hikers love to come and spend some time away from urban chaos. But as soon as temperatures rise, the snow and ice covering the mountaintops begin to melt, and the water pours down, filling the basin below with crystal-clear water.






Water levels go from one-two meters at most, to over 10 meters, in the early summer. The waters of Green Lake are highest in June, when this extraordinary place is invaded by divers, curious to see what a mountain park looks like underwater. Fish swimming over wooden benches, a grass-covered bottom, trees, roads, roads and even bridges create a surreal setting that feels like it belongs on dry ground. That’s because for half of the year, that’s exactly where it’s at.

Beauty is in the eyes of the Beholder♥

Reese Witherspoon, accepting her MTV Movie Award Generation Award: “Girls, I know it’s cool to be bad, but it’s also possible to make it in Hollywood without a reality show. When I came up in this business, if you made a sex tape, you were embarrassed and hid it under your bed. And if you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone, you would hide your face. For all the girls out there, it’s possible to be a good girl. I’m going to try to make it cool.”



What a lady she is…defining the modern, driven woman.. She took the high road and did it the classy way, and look where it got her.

I told you I wasnt like no other Teen(:

Blonde hair, blue/green eyes. I would dress them for success with little cute sun dresses and handsome beach shorts. My kids will be the poster kids of tommorrow!

I'll make them take priceless family pictures, ones that show their personalitys, yet still in the clothes I pick out for them.



Im going to have a beautiful daughter named Emileigh who is everything I wanted. She will tutus like this girl and have her daddy wrapped around her finger. She will be perfect(:



My kids will have darling, charming rooms that they will love and remember!

Well enough about my dreams....Whats yours?(:

Two Bare Feet on the Dashboard

I know in my blog I dont write much, so for the people who follow me this blog is quit boring (hint why I only have 4 followers). I mostly just copy and past pictures and sayings, giving them title or adding little blurts. I wonder what people think when they randomly fall apon my blog. Are they like "she should start a tumblr" or "oh she is just another teenage girl"? If you knew me you would know I am not an average teenage girl. If you really knew me you would know I dont like tumblr, only to look for  inspiring pictures.
    I decided I am going to try my hardest this whole summer to write ATLEAST once a week in my blog. I'll tell you whats up, about my week, and just random blurps. I go through and see all these blogs and I see why they have a blog. Their blogs have a perpose, a meaning.
     Though I started this blog with a meaning, I slowly faded from that. I started this blog wanting people to know what my life as a teenage military brat is like. Now, it has no meaning. So, take this as me breathing life back into my Blog(:

If you and I are a story

That never gets told

If what you are is a daydream

I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know

You're beautiful, every little piece, love

Don't you know, you're really gonna be someone

Ask anyone

Captain Hook: Growing up is such a barbarous business, full of inconvenience... and pimples.

Wendy: I think you have, Peter. And I daresay you've felt it yourself. For something... or... someone?

Peter: Never. Even the sound of it offends me.

[Wendy tries to touch his face, and he jumps away]

Peter: Why do you have to spoil everything? We have fun, don't we? I taught you to fly and to fight. What more could there be?

Wendy: There is so much more.

Peter: What? What else is there?

Wendy: I don't know. I guess it becomes clearer when you grow up.

Peter: Well I will not grow up! You cannot make me! I will banish you like Tinkerbell.

Wendy: I WILL NOT BE BANISHED!

Peter: Then go home. Go home and grow up. And take your feelings with you!

Face the Future with Faith

We live in a time of turmoil. Earthquakes and tsunamis wreak devastation, governments collapse, economic stresses are severe, the family is under attack, and divorce rates are rising. We have great cause for concern. But we do not need to let our fears displace our faith. We can combat those fears by strengthening our faith.

Mercies in Disguise

We pray for blessings



We pray for peace


Comfort for family, protection while we sleep


We pray for healing, for prosperity


We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering


All the while, You hear each spoken need


Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things



(Chorus)

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops


What if Your healing comes through tears


What if the thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near


What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise






We pray for wisdom


Your voice to hear


We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near


We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love


As if every promise from Your Word is not enough


And all the while, You hear each desperate plea


And long that we'd have faith to believe






Chorus






When friends betray us


When darkness seems to win


We know the pain reminds this heart


That this is not, this is not our home



Chorus



What if my greatest disappointments


Or the aching of this life


Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy


What if trials of this life


The rain, the storms, the hardest nights


Are your mercies in disguise

We May Never Know

Take me for my Imperfections

Girl says; I can't promise you perfection,

Cause that is not who I am.
I can't promise you forever,
Cause I don't hold fate within my hands.
I can't promise you the sunshine,
Because I know there will be rain.
I can't promise you complete happiness,
Cause with true love, there comes pain.
I can't promise to always smile,
Cause life always has a way to make me cry.
I can't promise to always stand strong,
Cause it's never easy to want to give life another try.







Guy says;I know you're not perfection.
To me, you're so much more.
I know we may not have forever,
So I treasure every moment with you,
Incase another one isn't in store.
Yes, I’d like the sunshine.
But I’ll stand with you through the rain.
Your happiness is my happiness.
So I’ll do whatever I can to ease your pain.
When I first saw you smile, I fell in love at once.
And even deeper I fell, the first time I saw you cry.
It was at that moment I realized,
I wanted to protect you.
And always be the one to wipe the tears from your eyes.
I know that life is difficult,
And has given you more than your fair share of pain and lies,
But that's why I’ll be your strength when yours falls broken...
And give you my wings to fly.



♥

Dont Push, Unless your ready to catch me when I fall♥

To whoever the hell I am gonna be stupid enough to fall for,




I hope you understand how valuable my heart is. If you intend on hurting me, go ahead and run the other way. Don't try to talk to me, just run. If you love me, I want you to tell me, but even more SHOW IT. Looking at other girls isn't loving me, its lusting after them. Don't play games with me, games are called CandyLand & Solitare. Games are for 5 year olds. I hope I never fall for a stupid, inconsiderate, loser



Sincerely, Careful

stupid girl, should have known. that im not a princess, this ain’t a fairytale. im not the one you’ll sweep of her feet. lead her up the stairwell. this ain’t Hollywood, this is a small town. i was a dreamer before you went and let me down. but it’s too late for you and your white horse, to come around.*

The Brotherhood of the Unashamed♥

I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit’s power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made…I’m a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean in His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer, and I labor with power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy, pander at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And, when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me….my banner will be clear!

Just a Hugg,.

I could really use a hug right now. Not one of those “It’s nice to see you again, I‘ve really missed you” type of hugs or those “Goodbye for now” type of hugs, but an actual hug. The ones where each person has two arms wrapped around the other person’s body, holding on tight enough so no one feels the need to let go. The ones that last for more than a couple of seconds so you can rest your head on the other person’s shoulder for a while. Not the one armed hugs that need to be rushed so they could give a hug to the next person waiting to be hugged. The hugs where you don’t have to say anything because in that moment we just click when we’re holding onto each other. Hugs that make you feel like the world is slowing down just for you and everything is going to be okay. It’s not just a hug anymore, it becomes something much more than that. One simple gesture had the power to motivate you and make you stronger. Hugs like these are rare since you’re not exactly sure when you’re going to receive another one again. Giving you every possible reason to cherish the moment and make it last.
