for cereal

i'm really getting tired of guys who don't even know me making really rude comments. since when do girls take those kind of things as compliments? it's disgusting.

what happened to respect?

i think it died.

jesus and life jackets

so...

today i was at vbs... watchin little children.

(i'm in charge of the kindergardeners through 2nd grade)

today the lesson was about how jesus and peter walked on water

the conversation went like this:

teacher: why did peter start to sink? what didn't he have?

(correct answer: faith)

kid named logan's answer: a life jacket

we all laughed a little and told him the answer was faith, but it got me thinking...

a lot of people try to find life jackets when they're sinking. they grab onto anything they can to save themselves. it's hard to remember in a storm that we don't need lifejackets. we may be scared to death as the waves toss around us, but all we have to do is keep our eyes on jesus.

refocus

i was thinking about how horrible it seems to be alone, and how wonderful it is to know God is there. there used to be a time when i was alone and it didn't bother me. it just seemed normal to me, but now that i know what it feels like to have someone who understands me and i've lost it... sometimes it seems unbearable. maybe that's why i try to hold on so tightly, even though i know holding too tight just pushes people away. i need to refocus on the fact that God is there. that i'm not alone.

i need to focus on my friends who don't want to see my pain anymore. i'm a fairly happy person most of the time, but there always seems to be that one little voice in my head that constantly reminds me of rejection. i can't be consumed by that one voice anymore. i don't pretend to be over it, but i need to learn to focus on other things.

each day is a blessing, and i don't want to waste what time i have on things i can't change. life's too short.

so then i was thrown on a roller coaster...

hey there people.

i've been thinkin lately about what's been happening in my life. i can't help but wonder what my future holds. everything is so uncertain right now.  i have no idea what the next year of my life will bring. i'm hoping to attain new friends at my new school, and i plan on getting involved as much as possible. the problem is... 

i'm scared out of my mind.

everything seems to be happening so fast. i don't know how to keep up with the emotional roller coaster of my life.  plus i'm a senior in high school... which means thinking about my future. i can't even begin to imagine my future, when i have no clue what's going on right now.

i'm staying fairly positive about the whole situation. i'm optimistic about my senior year. it's just really overwhelming to think that i'll make new friends and then have to start all over again in just a year.

i love the people i've met so far...which is mostly drama kids :) 

but i'm extremely nervous about the others.

i absolutely hate it when people don't like me... 

just me

sup?
I'm Lynea
