Sick and Sore
I didn't know I'd be this sore from marathon training! Monday and Tuesday I'm supposed to run and do T-tap, then I'm supposed to have a rest day, so today I'm taking a much needed rest. I am sore everywhere, and I'm getting a headache, which is how mom's sickness started. So I'm glugging EmergenC and Echinachea to try and head it off.
I finished reading "The House That Cleans Itself" today! So I'm done with all reading for this block! I may do some extra so that I'll finish all reading early, then again I might just enjoy the short reprieve.
The kitten is doing well, just as feisty as ever.
I shall be trying out to be in the worship vocalist team at church either Saturday or Sunday, I'm really hoping everything will go well with that.
Well.... there isn't much else going on... school is going good... the One Year Adventure Novel is going good... singing practice is going good...
This post is way too short still though, so I'm going to post the lyrics to a song! I don't think I've done this one, if I have I'll change the lyrics.
Reason to Live by Zoegirl
What is the meaning of life?
I've asked myself so many times
Is there a reason I'm here?
I wish someone would make it clear
'Cause I'm living from day to day, feeling so far away
Maybe I'm not as sane as I thought
Keeping my eyes on You is something I've gotta do
Even when I don't feel like it
I won't give up, I won't give in
I'm ready for my life to start again
I won't back down, I'll stand my ground
The time is now to show the love I've found
I've got a reason to breathe, I've got the freedom to stand
The future is mine, I'll give it all I can
To break down the walls that hold me in
It's my reason to live
My reason to wake up every day and bless Your name
In the crush of this crazy messed up world
Only You have stayed the same
I know I have a place here in amazing grace
Forever safe, forever sound
Time after time I see You are the best in me
You're everything I'm chasing after
Listen as the walls fall down
Hear the nations calling out
^One of my favorites.^ |

While Waiting...
Oh my, I can't believe it has been so long since I last posted an entry!! Okay... really there isn't much to talk about, so this will probably be a fairly short post.
The biggest thing at the moment is that my aunt that I haven't seen in about seven years is coming!!! We've been cleaning the house, the barn, and doing school, so we have been pretty busy. Dad has gone to pick my aunt up at the airport, they're probably on their way home right now. I'm pretty excited!
School has been going good, hit a wall with my novel but dad helped me get past it so I'll be moving forward again on Monday. I'm currently writing up a page on each of the characters, doing an outline, and also just writing down info that I need to have on paper. I have finished reading "Peace Child", which was very interesting, and will be finishing my other books within the next few days. "Crime and Punishment" has turned out to be very... interesting I guess would be the right word. Can't say it is one of my favorites but it is full of twists and turns. "How Should We Then Live" and "Story of the Constitution" have both been, well, pretty boring to put it plainly. There were a couple chapters in the former that I enjoyed a bit more but mostly I found it to be like math, I understand it pretty well when I read it but I forget what I read the minute I put the book down! So mom is going to have me watch the videos to it, hopefully that'll get it to stick.
I found out who the artist of one of my favorite songs is! "Fly Away" is by FFH. FFH stands for 'far from home', there was already a band named that so they just used the initials. Since I don't have much else to say I'll just post the lyrics to that song:
Fly Away by FFH
Ok you win, you caught me day dreaming again
About our sudden evacuation
Ok I give in, I can't help but wondering
But it seems I can't get enough information
Curiosity has got a hold on me
Tell me how it's gonna be - when
One day I'll see you coming back for me
And all together we'll fly away
One day I'll hear that trumpet loud and clear
And all together we'll fly away
O how I long for the day
When we'll fly away
Don't ask me why I keep starin' at the sky
It's just I'm lost in anticipation
I know it will be in the twinkling of an eye
It's just I get lost in my imagination |

Another Song!
I've been doing a lot of reading lately for school. I've been reading "Jane Eyre", "Story of the World", "Story of the Constitution", and "Creating a Sense Sational Home". All of them but "Story of the Constitution" have been interesting, I don't like history all that much, though I like it better than math. "Story of the World" is history but the way it is written makes it fun to read.
The Hummingbirds are back!! We have a pair of them so we put the feeder out and we saw the little boy coming. We have the Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds. Then we have Barn Swallows nesting in our barn and in one of the covered parts of our porch. I can't wait for the little baby birdies to start learning to fly, though it is kinda stressful for me because we have so many cats and I'm always worrying that they'll get eaten. =(
Well, like I said in my last post, there isn't much going on here so I'll post another song. =)
Live Life by Zoegirl
As the years have passed me by,
I have laughed and I have cried,
I have done so many things that I regret,
And I have seen what it means,
To take a stand and to believe,
To hold every given moment close to me,
But nothing compares to Your love,
The love You gave to me.
CHORUS
Live life, live free,
You cut the chains that once held me,
You held the key, opened up eternity,
Your mercy and sweetness when I felt so worthless,
You broke down my walls and made me see.
Since I heard Your name,
I have never been the same,
Jesus, You're so precious to me,
Beautiful Savior, Redeemer and Healer,
You're everything that I'll ever need,
Nothing compares to Your love,
The blood You shed for me.
CHORUS
It's more beautiful than diamonds and pearls,
More mysterious than when a boy meets a girl,
It's deeper than an ocean of blue shining down just to reach you,
I've more heavenly than angels with wings,
More musical than voices and strings,
It makes you feel like dancing again,
Makes you want to sing.
There's that! I love that song by the way, though I'm not sure if it is my favorite. Zoegirl has so many good songs that I'm not sure which I like best.

Song
Yesterday was great! We got home from church, had lunch, and goofed around for a little. Then we tidied up the house a little before our friends got here. We had a grand time with our friends, me and my friend went out and petted the goats, chatted, ate tacos, cake, and ice cream, and played around on the computer. I made the chocolate cake and caramel icing from scratch for Mothers' Day and it was tasty! Our friends brought chocolate swirl ice cream and it was good too! I love sweets by the way. Mmmmm...
So... how's everyone doing? I can't really think of anything else to write about so I'm going to type out of my favorite songs!
R U Sure About That by Zoegirl
CHORUS
Can you try to hide what's in your heart,
What's on your mind,
Can you carry on like nothing's wrong,
Go on and on?
Are you sure about that?
You've been pushed, you've been shoved,
You've been left and unloved,
Oh, why do you stay?
So many tears that you cry every night,
But ya know your life doesn't have to be this way,
But you've got hurts deep inside you feel,
It's only right that someone should pay,
You can't forget all the scars he left on your heart,
All the promises he made.
You've got to let it out, girl,
Got to let it go,
You've got to give it up, got to give it up,
If you really want to know,
The truth about life, girl
The secret of love is living inside you,
It's dying to break through the walls around your heart.
CHORUS
You've been up, you've been down,
You've been all around,
You broke all the rules.
It was good for a while, you hid behind a smile,
But now you're broken and you're bruised,
Have you ever considered that life is an invitation for you,
To decide in your mind, to accept or decline the reality of truth.
You've got to let it out, boy,
Got to let it go,
Got to give it up, got to give it up if you really want to know,
The truth about life, boy, the secret of love,
You've done it your way for so long, so tell me,
When's enough... enough.
CHORUS
Life's been hard, now don't get me wrong,
It's hard to find someone you can count on,
I know that you wanna be strong,
But anyone can play it tough,
You may have yourself, but is that enough?
By the way, no one has told me what they thought of Colman Blue's song at their concert down there. Has anyone watched it? I hope so 'cause it is really cool!!! |

I always get a kick out of that. =) My avatar is my doggy Madison looking cool in my hat. I like to write and sing, and you can see other things that I like to do by going down to 'My Favorites'.
