Ever heard of the Newsboys? Vota? DecemberRadio? Guess who got to see them in concert April 3rd? Me! They were at The Dow Event Center in Saginaw...and it was wicked awesome! I went with mom, and the siblings, and a two people from church. I was in awe. First off I've never been to a concert before. (Unless you count seeing Queen at Wembly and ELO on DVD...which I don't)And from a Christian point of view it was an experience that lifted my spirit into the stratosphere! Halfway through the Newsboys's performance they had an altar call. Literally hundreds of people came forward, it was amazing. And let me tell you, there is nothing as moving as hundreds of people praising the Lord. I cried, I'm not gonna lie.
Vota rocked! No ifs, ands, or buts, about it.
It was great...absolutely amazing...totally wicked...Made better by the fact that I sat on the right side of the stage, completely on level with it and the speakers, I couldn't hear until we came home two hours later. Oh! I have a t-shirt too. I'll have to put up a picture...it's pretty sweet.
Spork On!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Let it be known throught the realm that a champion has been found. It has been fortold that the Golden Spork of legend would be held by the one with the power!(What power? The power of voodoo! Hoodoo? You do! I do what?!) 'Lo, the Golden Spork and it's champion have come, ringing in a time of prosperity and fortune for all! HUZZAH!

Holy Boatloads-of-Sickness Batman
First off let me apologize for my prolonged absence. Sorry.
Secondly - Ick! I feel awful! Headache, sore throat, stomach ache, severe body temp fluctuations, I've had it all this past *counts* two months. As soon as I start feeling a bit better I go down hill again. It's absolutely ridiculous. So for those of you who do please keep me in your prayers.
Also, I'm the worlds biggest procrastinator. I seem to be losing my grip on certain things in my life (See: education, forensics, crafting, writing.) There is never enough time in the day and when there is I spend it blowing off steam by listening to music. Argh! *slams head into desk* I'll try and give a quick recap on whats happened between now and my last post.
- I've watched Fireproof. Great movie and I suggest everyone see it. I cried, I'm not gonna lie. And I just don't cry during movies, ever. Well...besides The Passion. I cried through the entire thing and continued to cry afterward...of subject. Sorry.
- Forensics has begun. I'm in Oratory this year. Not as fun as Informative, but it's good. Not doin' so hot though. Kind of failing actually. But my uncle's helping me get back on track and the team is working together now to get each other prepped. *nervous giggle* I'm going to be the senior member next year. The only one! As in I've been their longer than any one else!
- Boys suck. Well males of the 'my general age' variety suck.
- I like bulleting or is it dashing? Ah, who cares it's still fun.
- I have a headache!

College is Wicked Awesome!
Note: I would have posted this sooner but I never had the chance.
Guess what? Come on...guess. Aw, it's no fun if you don't. *tear* Are you sure? You will? Oh joy! *listens* Psh. No. Wrong! But that was a good try. You want to know the truth? OK, ready?
I ACED BOTH OF MY COLLEGE CLASSES LAST SEMESTER! *dances* Is that not the single most sweetest thing in the history of ever?!
*brushes lint off of shirt and coughs in embarrassment* So, ya, I'm kind of excited. But that was the fall semester and now I must worry about the winter semester. I'm taking Freshman English Composition and Intro to American Government. English is at the college and Gov't is online. I'm not gonna lie to you I'm enjoying it immensely. English isn't to bad so far. The reading is a bit more than I'm used to; however, I read so much that comprehension is fairly simple. I absolutely love Gov't. It's all kinds of fun, seriously. *hangs head in shame* I'm such a geek.

Things just happen, what the heck
Growing up is assumed to be gradual. Little by little, ya know? Wrong! It just kind of pounces on you, giving you only a few seconds to think 'What the heck?' before it's all over. I'm mean everyone knows it's coming. Yet it's surprisingly sneaky.
One day your sitting in the middle of class listening to your fifth grade teacher ramble on and on and the next thing you know your holding your high school diploma. (Oddly enough that is only a year away for me. My how time sure does fly.) We think we have so much time to prepare for life; then, when the time comes The Wisdom of the Ancients will come over us and BING we'll be adults. Wrong!
I mean sure, people give you helpful tips and tricks but in the ends it's all you. And no amount of preparing can tell you how to grow up. In the end all you can do is learn from the mistakes you and countless other have already made, make new ones, and keep moving forward.
Just something to think about, SG
