I will not give up in America. My home, my country. God yet has great plans for this nation. Do not give up in your beliefs. Stay strong in the word. Darkness has fallen, but our journey is not over. God is the light, and when light shines, no darkness can interfere. The Lord, Yahweh, may He always be with us.

Lovely Autumn
I haven't written in a longg time. It's not Summer anymore is it? :P
Autumn has been amazing this year. CBA always helps to make autumn feel just right.

I hope to be updating more often now ;)
Have a great week!

I'd rather be thrifting
It's always exciting to go thrift shop shopping. You never know what you'll find. It will either be a treasure that you'll keep forever or something that you will sooner or later regret that you spent a dollar or two on. But yesterday was a more than fabulous buy for me!
I found 8 ADORABLE chef figurines. I asked the lady how much, since there was no price for the set and she said $8. I couldn't resist. I had to! They're each special and different in their own little way. I've started my chef figuring collection.
It's not everyday that you can find a Japanese/ Chinese( I can't tell which on it is) calligraphy set. Yet alone it being only $2! They can range up to over $20 on ebay!!
9 items for $10. I call that a steal!

My mother will sometimes constantly nag me during the Summer about me be lazy/ not doing anything, and normally asks me "So, whatch'a gonna do today?" So sometimes I get frantic since I don't have things planned out that I just come up with random ideas.
Me relaxing on Mother's day, fishing at a peaceful lake. It can't get much better than that.
A beautiful yellow butterfly was regularly visiting my tackle box.
Just some random shots of the lake
I hope you all are having a wonderful Springtime!!

Shall we dance?
I actually lost count of how many dances I got. I think 7 or 8..
Favorite dances? Probably all the swing dances I did, there was a lot of them last night. And of course I love the cha cha cha. I'm starting to go with the more extreme version of it now. (:
Oh dear. My last dance...I couldn't figure out if I liked it or not.. It was some homeschooler senior guy named Joesph, stiff, really full of muscle guy, and he took strange steps, so it was hard to keep up with him. We danced..close...I'm also not sure if I liked that or not either. But near the end he said I was a really good dancer. Haha so I guess I was doing something right (: He thought I was a sophomore..He said something like "So are you a sophomore?" I shook my head and he was like "freshman?" I shook my head again "junior?" I laughed and shook my head again "are you not in highschool?" I nodded and told him I was in eighth grade. He said I look older and I told him that I get that a lot. Joesph said that it wasn't really a bad thing, unless people still think I'm older when I'm 30! Haha.
I danced with Michel(Luke's little brother) for the cha cha cha. He's so cute, and he's grown up so much now. :) It was pretty hard to dance with him because some guys were break dancing behind me so of course, he wanted to watch them. Eventually he made it so that if we both looked to our right we could both watch them.
The next dance is May 19th. I really hope I can go!
The guy in the picture with me was explaining to me why there weren't a lot of people there last night, he said that a homeschool play was going on Friday and Saturday and the people that come to the dance are in it. Sooo that explains it (:
Lovely night!

Meet Frella
We soon figured out that we couldn't just let her go on like this,out on her own. So I ran down to our red shed and got out our old aquarium, and mom looked up what was required for a wild toad; which is basically 2-3 inches of damp dirt, a rock, and a wood thing she could go under.
We've had her for two days now. I haven't seen her eat anything so I'm a little worried she won't be making it long, a website said to feed them at night and night only, otherwise you'd end up with a very hungry toad. We've put in some apple, strawberries, lima beans and I even caught some live ants.
I'm hoping she'll eat them tonight, they're still in there crawling around.
We shall see (:

Disagreed
My sister's friend, had a youth group challenge. If anyone said awesome about something other than God, they had to donate a dollar to the church. You see, nothing is awesome, but God. We use so many word references to ordinary things in these days, that we never leave any greater words just for God.

Spring's awakening
Hello world! I must apologize for not writing in a while. I've been..un-inspired to write lately, to say the least.
There are so many interesting and exciting things going on.
CBA classes have ended for the year. It's so sad to see it go, but I give it a graceful goodbye. I've grown so much from this year. I always had an issue with peer pressure, I only want people to like me. But 100% of the time what everyone else is doing is wrong. And it's okay to stand up and be the one that says no.
The bible says in Romans 12:2 :
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will.
And I don't think I need to remind you of everything that the world is doing. Stop trying to fit in, God created you to stand out.
Community Bible Study's last week is this Tuesday. I've had issues of what they believe. But I was talking to my mom about it. Me and my sister, Britney have been pretty much sheltered from the "outside world" half full of unbelievers, that could mess up our thoughts if we hang around them too much. So seeing all these different views aren't really a bad thing. It's more like a training ground for us. They're making me and my sister stronger in our faith, so we won't be so quickly swayed. But we'll stand on our solid rock.
The ballroom dances I've been going to, has taken off the month of April. I'm surprised how much I miss being there. It's already become a part of me and is quickly becoming a deep and favored passion. The next one is May 5th. Don't be surprised if I write a blog post about it! (:
CBA recently had their Spring picnic. I was super excited because I was able to hang out with my friends. It has been three weeks since we've had classes. Me and my friend, Rachel spent pretty much the whole time together. My two favorite times that day was when Rachel and I were going on a walk to see the football game and to find out where our third musketeer, David was. So once we get close up there everyone was heading back. David, Rachel and I decide to linger behind and walk together.
I found a caterpillar on a stick and i put it on his shirt, thinking it would be funny, until he flicked it off and it landed on me. I screamed big time. Totally wasn't expecting that. But I wasn't freaking out. I'm not extremely girly! (:
And number two, we were walking across this bridge thing and I saw a glove, so i went to move it off the bridge, not knowing a runner guy was right behind me. And apparently David even said "Steph! Look out" they thought i was trying to trip him! Endless fun times. So many of my favorite memories come straight from CBA.
That is all for now!
Hope you all are having a great week (:

Shine
There’s a place you can go
Where your heart is free
There’s a rhythm
That’s right for your soul
Take a breath, find your courage
And make the leap
Cause your feet always know where to go
And you dance and you dance in an endless flow
In the grace of a perfect design
Stepping out of the dark and into the glow
And the whole world will see when you shine
You can shine (shine)
Shine (shine)
There’s a beauty already inside of you
There’s a difference that only you’ll make
Every place that you spin brings you somewhere new
Finding hope every step that you take
And you dance and you dance in an endless flow
In the grace of a perfect design
Stepping out of the dark and into the glow
And the whole world will see when you shine
You can shine (shine)
Shine (Shine)
Suddenly sparkling bright (shine)
Making a magical light (shine)
You will (shine)
Sisters are there by your side
Love will be your guide
And we dance and we dance in an endless flow
In the grace of a perfect design
Stepping out of the dark and into the glow
The whole world will see when we shine
We will shine (shine)
Shine (shine)
(And we dance and we dance in an endless flow)
Stepping out of the dark and into the glow

Simply thoughts (2)
You might remember some of my earlier posts being about working at Tom and Rays.
I went there Saturday to help out my Aunt. They were having a huge party of 45 and all the dishwashers were busy. The kitchen was basically a mess. The party had called in saying that there would be 30 people and it turned out there being 15 more. And they expected the food to already be ready.
Scotty...is a mess. He was throwing out every single cuss word I knew and even some I didn't; about the whole situation.
I was sitting in church yesterday. The sermon was Tested and Tempted part two.
Recognize tests and temptations when they arrive.
know your weaknesses.
Make wise choices about people, places, activities and exposures.
Bad company corrupts good morals.
Know that you can say "NO" to sin.
Endure the testing time.
I believe I've caught myself in a test.
Money is a weakness for me and I enjoy earning it. But Scotty...and Cody. It wasn't just cussing but also inappropriate stuff I can't even mention on here.
They're the bad company. And if i continue to help my aunt there...They'll also corrupt my good morals.
The only thing I can think of is asking my aunt if Scotty is working when she calls me to come in.
Is working there really worth it?
Piano vs. Horses
I really don't like piano. I never have. And I don't practice it that much either.
This whole year at piano I've gone to Ms.Julie with the same pieces, I just don't work on them.
Piano isn't cheap. And I feel like I'm wasting that money.
I try to talk to my mom and dad about it.... Mom normally says "Well if you practice more you might find out that you like it." I've been taking piano for 5 years okay? I still don't like it, and that's why I don't want to practice. And dad would say "Nope. Not until you're 18."
See, my dad took piano for 2 years when he was younger and he found out he didn't like it and he quit.
Later through his years he really wished he had continued through piano. So he decided for his children to play the piano until they were 18, unlike he had done.
I'm really sorry he didn't continue with the piano, but if he hasn't noticed..I'm practially nothing like him. I don't hold his same interests and I shouldn't be forced to do something I don't want to do.
I wanted to take horse back riding lessons this spring. I haven't mentioned it to mom and dad for a while. It's not cheap. And if I'm taking both riding and piano...it's a bit expensive.
So i haven't brought it up. I've held back my riding dreams and I've been holding on to the piano thing. It's such a waste! I don't enjoy it. I'm not practicing. Wednesday is the worst day of the week for me because of piano.
I really want to do riding. Piano was never an intrest for me. I told mom about it but this time I told her to listen. And I also told her not to say: but if you practice more, you might find out that you like it.
She was taken a bit aback. I just all the sudden came out with this new piece of information, something I've been holding back for a long time. She told me to talk to dad about it. And I said that he won't listen. He'll just cut me off about not stopping until I'm 18. She told me she'll tell him to listen to me.
Hopefully. It might work this time. He has no idea how serious I've been about quitting piano.

Not the typical teen
The world looks down upon the teenagers of this day and time.
They forget that we're all different. They probably figure we all fall in the same peer pressure.
I'm not typical and I don't want to be. Here's some reasons of how I'm a bit different than the average person.
Number one: I'm homeschooled. I finish my school as quickly as possible in the morning so I can draw and work on the things I love doing. (And yes for Pete's sake..I socialize!)
Number two: I hardly ever have my cell phone with me. Only if i feel like texting someone- which is rare in itself.
Number three: I'm a regular thrift shop shopper. That's where i get most of my clothes. I make up my very own outfits. I've never bought anything out of hollister or all the top name brand stores. It's so sad how people feel they have to buy from there. It's so expensive and not worth it. Overrated might be the word.
Number four: I'm a Christian. It doesn't mean I'm a saint. It means I've fallen to my knees at the feet of God saying I am not worthy. I'm broken and crushed. I cannot stand on my own. By saying I'm a Christian I'm saying I can't go on my journey of life alone and that i believe in Christ as my savior.
Number five: I'm 14. I've never been seen as my actual age. For example I'm in eighth grade and people think I'm 16. I've been told I just act so much more mature.
Number six: I'm a mixture of loving new and old fashion.
I love books. And I am never going to turn to those e-readers. It takes all the fun out of it.
I love letters in the mail. I mean seriously. What happened to that?!?
I'm so in love with the new fashion. Can't wait until I'm older so I can wear some of the stuff I see on blogging sites.
Number seven: I love being outside. There's so much room to think out there.
You may not get what I'm saying here..
Have you gone to the kid's toy section lately? I have :P I've gone with my older sister and we've been disgusted by these new toys. I'm not sure if you've seen this or not but there's a tea pot and when you tip it over it makes a pouring water sound. At first Britney and I thought it was so cool. Then we got talking about it. And Anne of Green Gables came to mind. She hated and loved being at her friend's grandmothers house because it was so fancy but there wasn't room for imagination.
I feel so bad for the children that have to grow up in this day and age. They're leaving absolutely no room for the imagination for these children in the toys.

Simply thoughts (1)
I have a feeling this is going to be a really really good Summer. It's confidential why i think so..but it has to do with my Nana and I'm so happy that she's okay and we'll be together with her again.
My dad has been planning a 10 day vacation in Florida (my idea :P) for about a year now and we'll be going this Summer. I'm super excited. I haven't been to Florida since I was five!
Last Summer I did absolutely nothing. This year I'm not allowing that to happen. I was basically letting the seconds tick by without making something of that time.
I want to do something....different. Something no one would think of a 14 year old to do.
One of my dreams is to be remembered as a hero. I want to change the world for the better.
People are ruining the world and i don't even have a say in the matter.
I don't want to join the army or the navy or anything like that. That's typical. I mean very heroic but..that's not..me.
Eventually I want to be a medical nurse or doctor, i could discover something there...i don't know really.
I just know I want to change the world for the better somehow...while I'm young. I don't want to be famous. Noo Sir. Just the honor of helping the world.
Have you ever looked up at the stars and just been amazed and speechless?
Outer space is so beautiful and beyond imaginable. I would love to go out there and look back on the earth and say "That's my home." But there's so much dependence on man made equipment to be out there and such a trouble with oxygen. I don't really trust to be out there, but I would love to.
I know this blog post has been all over the place. But I just needed to write it down. (=
I hope you all have had a lovely Sunday.

Captured in a prison
I'm captured in a prison called Facebook. It's enough said right there. Facebook is just like a prison. It wasn't like this before for me but lately I've been getting on all the time and scrolling through the news feed. But the sad thing about it is is that I'm checking it 5minutes after I checked it the last time. So there's nothing new on there, i exit and return in 5-10minutes.
So I've been thinking. Forget Facebook and forget the Internet.
I mean really! I should take a month off.
All this time I'm spending on facebook scrolling through other people's posts isn't going to do anything for my life-except steal it from me. I'll never get back the countless hours I've spent on the Internet doing nothing.
It needs to change and i have to get in control of my computer habits.
I'm only living a fraction of my true potential right now.
There's so much more to life and so much more i want to discover.
When I'm old and sitting in a rocking chair with my husband next to me, I'm pretty sure I'll be regretting all the time i spent on the computer in my younger years.
I'm ready to start living. Here I come world.

Crazy things I've always wanted to do
1. Go on a triple date and play Twister.
2. When a man comes to deliver a package- I've always wanted to act like a strange hobo girl with uneven pony tales and buckteeth. Haha i'd take the package and give him a big, swingy handshake "How ya doin'?"
(Haha, I'm kidding. I'd never do that. But I still think it would be funny)
3. When there's only one other person in the elevator with me, I'd tap his shoulder and then when he looks back, i'd pretend it wasn't me.
4. Draw a face on the back of a bald man's head.

Learning the basics
Believe it or not, its harder than it seems. So I'm starting out with basic shapes, and shading them in.
I tried doing darker shades in the shadow of the circle to make it have a "pop"/ 3D effect.
It didn't turn out too bad, but i didn't use the right shade on some of them.
But hey, it was my first time coloring on the Bamboo. (:

Finally Fourteen
Its been a very interesting three days of being fourteen.
Action-nonstop.
It's all working out though. And I'm finally at ease. I still have a busy weekend ahead of me, but at least i can focus better.
So I got the bamboo create by wacom that I wanted for my birthday!
It is very awesome.
I've been going through learning sessions (roughly 10 minutes each)
and there is wayy more to this tablet than I thought.
If you ever get one, make sure you save your drawing on the doodler before exiting the app.
I did that today and lost a very good drawing i had been working on.

More goals
1. Adopt a brother and a sister (preferably Asian and in the US) when I'm married, and if my husband allows me to.
2. Talk to him. I've told myself so many times "Okay. I'm actually going to talk to him today." and I never do. Now the thing is doing it. I'm going to do it. Start with baby steps and eventually, we'll be having a full conversation with no problem. Suck it up and talk to him. Oh and don't act nervous, stay cool and in control of yourself.
3. Draw more often.
4. Finish homework before Wednesday.
5. Stop worrying about who it is he's bringing. All you can do is make some space for them, and always be there. I'll always care about him more then he'll ever know..*sigh* why do I always fall so hopelessly in love? I'm afraid to do anything about it... I'm too young and it would totally ruin the friendship we don't even have. He's so clueless. And it's been over a year that I've liked him now!

Bible Study
I learned some interesting things at CBS tonight.
Donna had a cereal box and the name of it was "Crunchy Cinnamon corn flakes." (Or..something like that..but you get my point.)
I forget where she was going on this point but I saw it as: the cereal is exactly what it says it is. Its not that complected. It's crunchy cinnamon corn flakes. plain and simple. It's just like what God says in the bible. It is what he says it is. There's no word puzzle to try and solve it. It is what it is. God sees us as his CHILDREN. It's not that hard to see what he means. Some people just go WAY too deep and think way too much.
The second thing that interested me was one of the questions in our workbook: "What created things do you see being worshipped in our culture today?"
My answer was "Ourselves."
Its strange to think about it. But we really make more time for ourselves than anything. We always think how WE'LL do it. How YOU'LL solve the issue. YOU are always the first person that enters YOUR mind.

Our crazy adventures...
At 8:30am this morning my mom dropped Britney and me off at our Aunt's house.
We went to Pennsylvania to drop off Kurtis at college. I love the ride, it always ends up being so much fun..
we started out with a game of I spy and then turned into a very intense game of 20 questions.
Oxygen, making sound, window, baseball bat, windmills, glasses, and a fish tank were just a few of them.
Haha and when we were getting close to his college there was a guy walking on the side of the road and i was like "OOh! run over 'em!"
my aunt swerved to miss him and i was like
"Aww..it would've been interesting to have him on our windshield."
Everyone bursted out laughing.
We ate out at McDonald's for lunch, our main conversation there was the superbowl's commercials.
Kurtis broke out in the M&Ms commercial "Oh! So it's this kind of party?!" haha it was so quiet in that restaurant...everyone could hear us laughing.
And I picked on everybody with the gecio commercial. "Ew.Seriously.So gross."
Haha everyone said i had the perfect voice for it.
Fun times. Fun times.
Can't wait to pick him up for Spring break!

Another dance
*Sigh* I'm falling in love with these dances more and more.
Tonight's lesson was the Salsa. I have the basic step but I kept getting lost during the complex part.
I danced with Walter,Luke, John, somebody and somebody.
Most interesting conversation award: John.
I've danced with him before. He's special needs and everything so I try to do my best to act normal.
John:"Are you dating anyone?"
Me: "No I'm not...............................................I'm not allowed!" (It kinda dawned on me to where he was going on this..)
John: "Oh.."
Me: "Are you?"
John: "No..I've had rotten luck."
Do you remember me award : Luke
I'm not sure if he remembers me..but when we were little we would play together while our older siblings were doing riding lessons. I haven't heard or seen him since I've started to go dancing there.
I acted like I didn't know him...and I was pretty sure he was doing the same thing.
Best dance overall award: Walter
We danced the Waltz and the Virginia reel.
So far hes been the easiest to dance with.
Can't wait for the next one!

What's in for the weekend?
Kurtis came back from college for the weekend because his ears and jaw are still bothering him, so Aunt Da nita went up Thursday to pick him up. We might go out and grab a milkshake with them later, but haven't heard anything yet.
We'll get to see him Monday though, we're going with them to take him back to college.
Tonight is a scavenger hunt in the mall with Abby's youth group : the "swank" I'm kinda nervous about that. I don't know anybody but Abby! And I..dislike..malls.
I don't know what I'm doing Saturday morning but in the evening I'll be learning the Salsa at another ballroom dance. Don't worry- I'll probably tell you about it later :) they are so much fun.
And Sunday theres Church in the morning.
My mom is stopping by the meat locker nearby and getting some ribs for the super bowl.
So excited about that!! (The ribs..not the game..but go Giants!!)

I want..
...A guy that will take me on picnics, dance in the rain with me, go stargazing, talk over milkshakes at a fast food restaurant, and take me dancing.
I don't want some rich guy that will take me to a fancy restaurant and buy me a expensive diamond necklace.
I want a sweet guy that does crazy cheep stuff in a cute way. Most of the things I listed don't cost anything.
I want to spend time with him, not go clean out his wallet.
But most of all..I want him to love me.

My Saturday
Finally! A day to relax! I got to sleep in today and I watched a movie while still in bed. :P
Starstruck is the best movie I've seen in quite sometime...it was clean and they did a wonderful job on the movie, the actors and everything. Or maybe I just thought it was wonderful because it was a chick flick...?
____________________________________________________________
I have yet another song that's been stuck on my head...(maybe it's stuck in my head because it's on repeat on my mp3..?) "Telling the world" by Taio Cruz. He doesn't always have the best music.. (from my perspective..) but this is really sweet, it's on the soundtrack for the movie "Rio"
"Telling The World"
I hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend!
God bless!!

I made up my mind
I don't think I'm going to work at Tom and Rays every other Saturday.
I'll only go when Aunt Da nita calls and asks if I can come in.
It's too much responsibility for a thirteen year old. Maybe I'll work for real there when I'm Fifteen.
I have really been enjoying these dances every other Saturday and if I take the job there's a risk that those every other Saturdays are on the same night as the dances.
I just discovered them and I feel so alive when I'm there. I really don't want to take the chance of loosing that..not yet.

You and me
I can't get that wonderful song out of my head. Ever since Saturday night I've been listening to it nonstop.
"What day is it and in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
Cause it's you and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
Cause it's you and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
Cause it's you and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive"
-Lifehouse
This song really relates to a friendship of mine that has really gone downhill.
I can't get him off my mind when I play this song.

Last night was a fairytale
I went ballroom dancing last night! We learned the Virginia reel, which is quite fun.
Walter taught me the tango, that is now my favorite dance, thanks to him (:
Shawn taught me the samba....that was interesting...okay more like scary...
"My name is Shawn. What's yours?"
"Stephanie"
"That's a pretty name. Some day when i get married, i want to name one of my children Stephanie."
"Uh huh.*Smiles*"
Here's my favorite:
"What grade are you in?"
"Oh! Thanks.."
"What?? What did you think i said?"
"Um..Nevermind! I'm in 8th grade"(I thought he said "You're very pretty." Oh come on...the music was loud and we were practically yelling at each other anyways...)
"*Jaw drops* You're only in 8th grade!?!?!?"
"Umm..yeah."
"You seem so much...older..."
"Umm thank you."
"In a good way...you just seem more mature than 8th grade."
Haha yay for awkward dance conversations!

What a awesome day
My week was pretty stressful and full of homework and school. Today was a wonderful break from that.
Once I got to CBA I got a text from a good friend of mine telling me he could make it to a dance I've been inviting him to for a few weeks now, that made me quite happy. (=
My first study hall hour is kind of boring, Rachel was late and she doesn't have a phone so I couldn't ask if she was coming or if she was sick and David said he had to leave in 10minutes. I was like well this is going to be a fun 2pm study hall...thankfully Rachel wasn't sick, so she was there but the study hall still dragged on without David there. As time dragged on it was time for Anatomy (a.k.a the class that made my day.) We knew the teacher would make us switch lab partners. Before we switched a guy behind me found a mechanical pencil and was like "Woah! This is an awesome pencil!!" and the guy next to him was like "dudeee can i see thatt??" I love homeschoolers. haha.
When the teacher came up to me I said a silent prayer as i picked a name from the bowl, I got Stevie, the teacher's son. Which is great. I had been hoping I would get someone I kind of already knew. Of course it was awkward at first...But when isn't it always when a boy is your partner!?!? We had to do a lab in which we were peeling skin off of a chicken wing. You'd think the guy would be all over cutting the chicken open but I think Stevie was more grossed out than I was!! Awesome day. So greatful for such awesome friends.

Birthday ideas
My 14th birthday is a little less than a month away, so I decided I should probably start planning for it.(=
Birthdays at my home isn't a party with friends or a sleepover; it's a family day. Which I think is the best way to spend it. Our normal birthday day includes a meal out, an activity and a present or two.
And whoever's birthday it is gets to decide where they want to eat and what they want to do.
So for my birthday I'm thinking about going to the movies, eating out at Carter Que(they have the best ribs everr.) and asking for a Bamboo Create tablet. The gift itself is expensive so we won't be doing too much. =P I've been trying to plan sort of cheap in a not boring way.
