I hope you're all having/had a great day!
My day was pretty chill. Woke up around 10 AM and then about 30 minutes later, the power went out. We had a pretty rough storm last night and I am pretty sure that is what did it. Since the power was out, we played Parcheesi and Phase 10, which I lose really badly in Parcheesi and came in second place in Phase 10. During Phase 10, the power came back on. (It was only out for about 3 hours).
So, for my post today, I want to talk about things that have really been bugging me lately.
1. People not responding to me: Now, I have a couple of people who will respond and then just stop when I ask them a question or something. I don't like to sweet talk people if I really am just asking them for a favor, so I jump the boat and just ask. Now-a-days, everything tells you if someone has read your message or whatever, and when they read it and don't respond, but respond to other things, really bothers me.
2. Gnats: I really hate gnats. There are not that many of them here in PA, but seriously, they are annoying little creatures.
3. Bugs: While on the topic of gnats, all bugs really. (Get it, bugs are bugging me ;]).
4. Not staying in touch with people: It's funny when you're getting ready to move, everyone is saying how they will stay in touch with you and will talk to you and such, but when you actually move and are no longer in a close region with them, they never speak to you.
That's really all that's been bugging me lately and all for my post today.
I hope you're all having a wonderful day!

After spending a little time doing that, I continued to watch NCIS. I am currently halfway through the third season and it is going pretty well. I watched a couple of episodes during the breaks of writing my paper.
My family and I went to see Monster's University today and it was absolutely adorable. I loved that movie and I highly recommend you to go see it. I will not post any spoilers but, it was incredibly cute. I loved little Mike.
I also tried some of the products I mentioned in my last post. I tried the BB Cream and the Mascara and Lash Primer. I did not really like the lash primer but everything else was really nice, the BB Cream especially.
When I got home, I went to my room and ordered an iPhone 4s Armband case so that when I decide to go on my next bike ride, I don't have to hold my phone in my hand anymore, which is probably safer.
It is nearly 10 PM, which means I have been up for 13 hours and I will probably be up for a couple more hours watching NCIS.
Good day and good night!

I haven't posted anything on here in almost four years, I believe. But I wanted to tell you all how blessed my life has been since my last entry. Let's start from the beginning, shall we?
So, for starters, I remember posting about liking a man, well, I dated him for a year before we got engaged. About three months after we got engaged, he told me, in front of our pastor and his wife, that he "has homosexual thoughts," to put it lightly. He said he was trying to work past them for he felt that God was telling him we were to be married, so we stayed together, even though I should have broken up with him then. I think I didn't because I liked the idea of being with someone. (Let me just clarify, we never kissed or anything). So, three days after my 20th birthday (May 5, 2011), we broke up. I could tell it was coming because we didn't speak to each other for two days, which was unusual. Yes, this broke my heart and I was sad for a while. They say it takes twice as long as you were in a relationship to get over someone. Though, it wasn't like that for me. I got over him pretty quickly.
During this time in September of 2010, my grandma, the one I posted about having Alzheimer's, died. She passed away about a week before her birthday. It was also very sad time for me. I knew she would eventually die, because she was in a nursing home for five years, I did not know when she would. My grandpa's death, on December 22, 2009, had been unexpected and so sudden that I felt emotions the moment he died (I was in the hospital room). But for my grandma, since her death was expected I hardly felt anything until the Sunday after her death. I was at church and we had just finished praying during the service. The worship band started playing "Mighty to Save" and all these emotions just hit me like a ton of bricks. I wept in the church bathroom.
After living in the house that my pastor and wife rented to me for almost a year, the water in the bathroom kind of just exploded. The entire hallway was flooded and it was no longer livable in the house. So, my brothers asked my mom if I could move in with them, and she said no. My aunt offered me to live with her and her family and my brother. I moved in October of 2011. After living there for almost six months, I came home one day after work and heard my aunt and uncle arguing about when my brother and I would move out. I went back to work (my brother and I worked at Panera Bread together) and told my brother that we should start looking for a place to live.
Two weeks later, we had our own apartment and could pay our bills and everything. We had two bedroom and two bathrooms. I had the master suite and he had the smaller room on the other side of the apartment. We lived there happily for about a month and a half before all hell broke loose. After turning 21, in May of 2012, my brother decided that he didn't want to pay comcast anymore (even though he had the extra box in his room) and that since it was under my name, it wouldn't be his problem. Since the bill was almost 140.00, I didn't have enough to cover my half of the rent and then it happened again in June. He gave me two options, I either move out or I pay the rent (even though I didn't have enough money).
So, I moved out. I moved into a former friend of mine's house with a couple of my other friends. I lived there for about a month until I met this amazing guy, AJ. We only knew each other for two weeks before I moved to Pennsylvania, but I don't know what happened I fell head over heels in love with this guy. Unfortunately, he didn't feel the same after I moved and we broke up. But let me back up some. I called my dad one day in July and asked if his offer to come move to Pennsylvania was still open and he said yes. So, I moved here on August 9, 2012.
Ever since I moved, my life has become extremely blessed. I have been able to go back to school to finish getting my degree, which I hope will be soon. It's been almost a year since I left Florida and I experienced my first winter. My family here is so amazing. I have the best sister in the world and someone who didn't have to be my mom, is and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Florida seems like just a distant memory now and all the people I knew a year ago are hardly who I knew them to be. It's crazy what a year can change.
I am excited about the future and hope I can fulfill my dreams. I will keep everything updated here, in hopes of someone being inspired by me.
I love you all and will pray for anyone who needs it.

Bible Verses
"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us all from sin."
1 Peter 3: 3-4
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight."
1 Peter 5:10
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast."
Psalm 119:11
"I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
Proverbs 19:21
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."
"Light is not recognized except through darkness."
Matthew 6:33
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Romans 5:19
"For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous."
James 3:9-10
"With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be."
2 Samuel 7:22
"Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears."
Hebrews 13:5-6
"Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we may boldly say: "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
Psalm 145:5
"I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wonderous works."
1 Timothy 4:12
"Do not let others look down on your because you're young, but set an example in love, in life, in speech, in faith, and in purity."

Is this real?
I feel as if I am thinking about him a lot. He seems like one of the only people I can hold a decent conversation with nowadays and even then most of it is choppy. Blah. What is going on with me? Is this the way I am supposed to feel?
I mean I believe I am sort of falling in either deep like or very small love with him. I'd say all this to him but I don't want him to freak out. :P
I do enjoy and respect the fact that he himself wants to take things slow. He always makes smile even when we were over 2000 miles apart. He's an amazing guy and he is also very adorable. ;D
He is more than likely the first guy I've ever felt this way about. He knows the right words to say, how to make me laugh, my family all seems to love him, especially my little cousins.
He has made these past two months the most enjoyable months I had in an extremely long time. I am not saying he's my everything but what I am saying is that he's someone I could possibly picture myself with for a very long time. I thank You, God that you made me meet him. You are an amazing God.
It's been said that when you meet the person you've been destined to be with you'll feel it in your heart. Something about Michael Mahoney is telling me that God wants him and I
To be together. I don't know how or why but I don't mind.

Awkward....

October 3, 2009
And it is now 2:17am, I am supposed to be READY by 8:45am, but I can not sleep in this apartment when other people are awake, well I a mean I can, I just don't like to.
Anyways, tomorrow/later today, I am going to church with Mahoney and Kyle, I am not going to lie, I will be feeling a little awkward, I am just so use to my church that I rarely go to other peoples' churches.
I know, I am weird, do not judge me.
BUT back to what I WAS talking about, I am going back to Gainesville tomorrow, I really don't even want to, someone want to take over my lease and just let me move back to Jacksonville.. You'll have October free and I'll pay for November.
Seriously, I despise Gainesville!!!!
ANYWAYS, I guess I am now tired.
And apparently it is not too late for me to become a jedi...
GOODNIGHT <3

I had had my doubts about YouthQuake but it was nice, never have I seen so many Christians so energetic. It reminded me sort of like Thespians.
I felt as if I was sort of out of place on some levels. I have never felt that much passion about Christ, even in my own church, from the youth. Jennifer plans on coming to the next one with me.
On the way home, we got lost for almost 20 extra minutes than it should have taken.
When I got back to my mom's house, I went to get my backpack and as Kyle quoted me: "There were three knives on the table next to my things. WHAT THE HELL MOM!" I was scared. I didn't know if she was trying to leave me a message or something... Talk about awkward.
Then I went to my brothers' apartment and he asked me about my "friend," also know as Mahoney; only because I didn't tell him and he was upset that I didn't.
Then I called Jennifer and she came and picked me up, we then went to the beach and walked for probably an hour and a half. She and I talked about everything on our minds.
And as Jennifer said, "You don't know what you love until you miss it." It's true, I use to despise Jacksonville and everything thing in it. But I feel everything I want and need in my life is here in Jacksonville and I have a bigger chance to live my goal here.
I guess I needed to be away from Jacksonville for only so long to remember all the good things about it.
I've missed all the people I knew, just started to get to know, and my family and the places in Jacksonville.
I do plan on moving back to Jacksonville in December and plan on restarting my college career.
SO If anyone has any places in mind as to where to live and get a job.I am all ears. :D

Past.
Now I know that I am completely useful to many people and God alone has shown me this. He's shown me that people need me in this world and I am very fortune to be living. I talk to Him everyday of my life. I try not to remember things from my past for it just brings back bad memories. But that is what they are, memories, nothing else. They will never be in my thoughts again because God has a plan for me. God has a plan for everyone in world whether you believe in Him or not, He will always be with you.

I'm broken.
I've been craving the taste of you for so long. I saw you the other day and could not even say one simple word as: "Hi."
I get nervous and different when I'm in your presence.
I don't get it. You're not that different from other people I've liked but yet this how I feel when I'm around you.
I've told you some of my deepest, darkest stuff.
I've showed you things, I keep only to myself. You've showed me things.
I don't see why you can't just give me a chance. A real chance.
