My summer? It's actually been for the most part very very boring. I'm totally doing nothing. And I've learned the meaning of sleeping in, which means going back to school isn't going to be fun at all. I like sleeping :D
This will be my senior year of Highschool!! And it'll probably be a very busy one :( Besides my Homeschool, I have music and (hopefully) drama at my church's school. And then my mom enrolled me in the University here. They offer free classes to seniors who test into college level classes. So I'm going to be taking math and english there.
I got my permit -finally- that only took me forever to do :( I'm not so great of a driver. The other day for example, i got distracted and next thing i knew I was up on a hill by a fence o.o yeup... sorta scratched my sisters mini-van a tiny bit :/ But lesson learned, no one was hurt and I need to not get distracted by the car behind me. And yeah, I was fine but my sister was freaked out and kicked me out of the drivers seat. (Although seeing as how I was the one less shaken by the incident not sure why she was the one driving.... but oh well. )
Rebecca suggested that I talk about my faith. I am a born again Chri
stian, and have been raised in a Christian home since I was a baby. I was saved when I was 5, but didn't really care much about it. It was more of a safety deposit you know? I'm saved, therefore no need to worry. The last couple years tho I've learned a lot and God has become so much more real.
A couple weeks ago, my church had a 5 day camp. And I wasn't going to go - for really stupid reasons - but decided that my reasons for not going where why I SHOULD go. So the second day I went. And it was really good.
Pastor Charles Hiers from Hawaii was our speaker, and he was really really funny. And a good speaker. In the morning he talked about traits we should have and use to praise God. They were:
Character
Courage
Countenance
Confidence
Community (working the community), and
Church (being involved in the church.)
Then the evenins were about things we can ask for, like: How to pray, wisdom, etc.
What i learned was that I need to be more courageous and that I tell ppl a lot about me and my God without even speaking. And that my view of how big God is affects how I live for him.
(Side note: If you've never listened to Louie Giglio you should!)
Life otherwise has just been the usual teen stuffs. Drama over silly stuffs and all that. My best friend "Kayla" moved back to Guam after having been gone for 2 years. I'm really happy about it, it's really good to have her back. :D
Well I guess thats all for this post. I will try to post more. Maybe with going to the University and all that I will have more interestin things to post ;D
I got a new purity ring yesterday!! (I lost my other one..) and I LOVE it. It's an Irish Claddagh ring. I've always been fascinated by the story behind them. So I"m really really happy to have it, it's beautiful. I'll try and post a better pic later, but here is the one i took with my sisters computer :D (Lol Shatter Nail Polish... )
