Never live caustiously, all live is an experiment!

Plant lots of flowers in your garden, read books, try some health food, tell the people you love that you love them, learn a different langauge, smile at everyone you dont know, take a foreign cooking class, make flower bouquets for all your friends, adopt and take care of a homeless animal, go mountain hiking, take the kids in your neighborhood to the park, put a hammock in your front yard, dance down the street, grow fruit, really camp, go berry picking, take too many pictures, create a soundtrack for your life, make your own cards and tell your friends what you like about them, play against all the odds, laughter is good for the soul, and kindness is good for everybody- never forget that, never be afraid to be who you are, and dont forget there's always some kid left in you.
Live Live Inspired.

Things I learned by living with a baby, that I never would have learned otherwise
Monday, March 20, 2006 9:27 PM
1. Things get on your clothes, but they are clothes, and they do wash. (this one took me a long time to stop freaking out about)
2. Babies love their drool.
3. Hands get sticky, and things get messy, but you can wash them when the whole experience is over.
4. Don't taking sleeping for granted.
5. You dont ever have to have a conversation with someone to fall completly in love.
6. Babies also hate cheap, out of tune, computer generated music.
7. Babies dont always make sense.
8. Babies have no shame, about anything.
(im sure there's more, but these are most of the ones that came up today)

Hmm.. So I was reading my friend Justin's blog, and the very first entry he wrote he was talking about how kids dont listen when the YOUth Pastor talks and blady blady blah... its all true. Even if we listen, we dont remember it on Wednesday. What does affect me is the way Justin might act. [or any Christian role model in my life]. Nikki basicly taught me "how to be a Christian", not like, with speaches, or sermons, or long rambles about what I should do with my life, just by hanging out with her. The biggest things kids soke up is what you do, not what you say. Just hanging out with her day to day I learned what it was all about [i was young and naieve[sp]]
But anyways, listen up older Christians:
You can tell me whatever you want
but I really pay attention to your lifestyle
remember that. its how you can make the biggest impact. you dont have to teach us.

Day 2
12:38 PM
Im home again. I dont even really want to talk about it, (well it's because of my feet of course). But it's just making me so frustrated, and making my mom really upset, and it's just so hard. Im going to the Dr. today... nobody's really sure why, just because when you're hurt you go to the doctor... whatever.
What? Why am I here?!

Yes, it's 8:27, yes, there is school today, no, Im not there. I couldnt go to school today, I couldnt walk this morning, my feet hurt too bad. Ughh Makenna is screaming... I dont want to walk to her room to pick her up... ok she stopped, good.
The feet thing- grr- it's just getting worse. My summer plans may be ruined, I dont know yet.
What else...
You dont really know how addicted to myspace you are, until you delete yours. I feel like a part of me is missing. Seriously, I think about it all the time, lol. Its like being really thirsty, and telling yourself you cant get something to drink. It sucks. I thought the "urges" would have gone away by now, lol. But they havent. I guess I will be away from it longer than I thought.
Ok seriously, I just wrote a paragraph on frickin myspace...
Im really bored. you shouldnt be reading this blog, Im just addicted to typing, I must have some outlet. Stop reading this.
My feet hurt. That was the purpose of this blog. I dont want a wheelchair though, because then I will feel like a retard. yepp..
Gotta go get Makenna, she's so great.

And all of these moments might just find their way into my dreams tonight

Ah Sundays, how I love Sundays! Today even started out glorious! [if you know me, you know I hate the starting part of days] My cat is insane, it walked around and around my bed this morning 3947293847 times, and I yelled at it, then put it outside. But it actually was a good thing, [oh yah i woke up at 7:00 am] because right when I reached to open the window, I was stunned with a beautiful sunrise! It was gorgues, I just stared at it for a long time. I immediatly thanked God for creating such a beatiful and magnificent earth, and thanked him for another day : )
Church was also one of the better I've been to in years. Even though my morning started out wonderful, when I got to church and we started to worship, I found myself in a down mood and bitter feelings inside me. I went out to the bathroom, and then laid on a bench that was outside of the sanctuary. I asked God what was creating these feelings in me, and he gently pointed out some things that were causing a little bitterness in me. We also talked about how I need to go about fixing them. It really helped a lot. Then Tammi came out and we talked about some life issues, Im glad I could be there for her. As I came back in to the sanctuary, the whole service was filled with laughter, about Glen purchasing a tabloid. The sermon was all about gossip, and the sermon wasnt preached in a confusing, or an applicable way. It was just what I had been looking for. Just yesterday I stumbled over a Proverb that talked about gossip, and realized that was something I needed to correct in my life. Glen really helped in identifying specific ways to stop ourselves and others from gossiping, and some verses that really got me to open my eyes to how dangerous, and what a big deal gossip is.
Im so glad I have changed my relationship with God. It's actually a realationship now. It feels really good to know that I am with him all day, not just representing him. Im still struggling to keep my mind focused on him in quiet times, but Im learning! : ) And having a focused time to spend with him and study about him really makes me feel better. It makes my day feel complete.
Well for some reason Im not really looking forward to going to YOUth Church tonight, I dont know why. Lately I have been wanting to be alone more than around people, but that's just my personality. Also I guess its just a little too loud for me, I like to be at home. Plus I have homework :\ gahh... Oh well. Its all part of growing up!!
