“it'll destroy you if you try to make it mean anything to anyone but yourself.”

i saw this on a blog and thought it was cute. enjoy :)

i don't think i could be happier.
everything in my life is so great right now.

"My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return."
-Maya Angelou

ps. should i cut my hair really short again??

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm

status last night was so amazing. there was a man and two kids from sierra leone. the man worked for children of the nations and the children were sponsored by it. while sitting through the service and tearing up the whole time i decided that i wanted to do something to help. so i came home and looked on their website to see what i could do and there was a spot where you can sponsor a child. i decided to look through the children and while i was doing it i thought that i wouldnt be able to choose, there are so many beautiful kids that need help. then i saw this little girl named Thokozani, right when i saw her picture i started crying. this is the little girl with big brown eyes that i am going to sponsor.

heres her bio:
Thokozani lives with her widowed mother, one brother and one sister in the village of Mtsiliza. Thokozani’s father died of malaria in 2001. She is living in very poor conditions where she lacks food, clothing and other basic needs.Thokozani is described as an honest, friendly and cooperative, young girl. She likes to jump rope and play netball with her friends. Her favorite color is blue. When she grows up, Thokozani hopes to be a teacher. Thokozani helps out in her home by sweeping, mopping and washing the dishes. Thokozani enjoys singing in church. Please join us in praying for continued spiritual growth and blessings in Thokozani’s life.

shes 7 and lives in Malawi. im so excited in two to four weeks i get a picture of her and a packet about her life! :)

Oh, there comes a time in everyone’s life that you must wait.
You can’t always know how it’s going to work out.
Things that you so dreamed of, just have to wait.
There are people to love wonders of they’ve opened you, you can’t even see.
Take your eyes off this world child look all around you.
The answer is near, be patient and wait.
Oh there comes a time in everyone’s life that you must wait.

well today was a bad day again.
i dont know why this happend to my family but i wake up this morning to my dad coming in my room telling me that my cat got hit by a car and died. i lost another animal in a month. why? i have no idea but its awful. so this morning me and my mom went to the pound with katy, chelsea, and my neighbor and got this little guy. his name before us was sammy so were calling him that but i like sampson more. :)

hes sleeping with me tonight and as of right now, hes hyper. haha

Today has been awful.
Work was stressful.
I come home and take a nap, when I wake up I find out that my dog can barely walk and that my dad is taking her to the vet.(and for those who know me well know that this dog is my heart). Then they get home and I find out that were going to have to put her to sleep. i'm a wreck.

i miss my boyfriend.

Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come.
Let me in, unlock the door.
I've never felt this way before.

In your tears and in your blood,
In your fire and in your flood,
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing,
"I wouldn't change a single thing."

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come,
Until my days, my days are done.
Say you'll come and set me free,
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me.

i love coldplay.

i have been so busy lately.
school is crazy, even though i only have one class it's four hours long, two days a week. and it's accounting and it takes up soo much time.

anyways, other than that life is amazing. me and abraham have been dating for two months and i couldn't be happier. he is such an amazing boyfriend and his family is also amazing. his brothers wedding is on saturday so if i take pictures ill post them.

:)

i hate it when i cant fall asleep.

give love to make more.

im so stressed out about school this week.
