Big Lesson I've Learned

This school year has been the most interesting year I've gone through in a long time. Probably since middle school. People have told me that tenth grade is the most busiest, crazy, hectic, and ridiculous time of high school. Which I TOTALLY already agree with that statement. Because already I have noticed the way more amount of homework we are given compared to freshmen year, the craziness of people in our class, hectic classes and assignments, and ridiculous drama over stupid things. I mean really? Why is sophomore year so ridiculous? It's just like how it was for middle school but like 10x worse. Cause in seventh grade, we were just in our awkward stage trying to figure out who we are and all. But sophomore year we already know who we are, but we act just so different and also have TONS more homework then the normal high school student is use to.

The big lesson I've learned already this year is that even if somebody treats you so badly every day of your life, talks badly about you to others, and just tries to do things that annoy you, you still need to show them the love of Christ. It has been hard, but some where in the end it is going to pay off. No matter how much that person may cause you pain, suffering, and just complete annoyance, you need to show them and treat them the way Jesus would. Which is a lot harder then how it sounds. Because we as humans have that deep want of revenge and getting in a fight kind of act inside of us, but God wants us to rebel against that which is of the world and do what is of God since God does love that person! In times like this, you become closer and more in love with God then ever. And also more confused on what He wants you to do in this kind of situation.
Now after all this has been said, life is just crazy sometimes! We just need to have the right people around to help us through our tough times and also to encourage us when we are struggling. God is the best at doing that!! So this post pretty much shows you that I am indeed, dancing through life!!!


The sophomore class minus 4 people



Area? Again? Wow!

Last night was a great night! I will remember that night for the rest of my life. The first time our boys varsity basketball team beat, oh wait, let me rephrase that. The first time our boys varsity basketball team CREAMED Athens Bible School!!! That's right, creamed! It was one of the most exciting, back and forth game.  The final score was 71-50! We had about 25 students go on a bus to go support our boys playing. And the crowd helped the boys a lot! We were constantly yelling and screaming whenever anything happened. Ha ha. The boys played their hearts out last night. And we could tell that they wanted to win that game so badly! The coolest thing that happened that night was when Cameron and John would switch back and forth and get three, after three, after three in a row! Yes, IN A ROW! When this happened, was when I jumped up in the air so high and just started yelling "Now DAT'S WHAT'S UP RIGHT THERE! THAT'S HOW WE DO!"

If you can't see, this is Paul swinging his shirt in the air. He did that ever time we scored or did something amazing

I don't ever remember yelling that loud at a basketball game. That's how crazy and amazing the game was. Cause if you know me, I yell the entire game. I yell as if I was out there with the players. It gets pretty crazy. Those who know me very well you would know what I'm talking about. But now that it is the day after the big game, I just think of that game as how we are with our constant battle with Satan. We put our all into the game, don't back down, work as a team, and just hustle for every loose ball. Then come out with a win. It's the best victory. And those boy;'s last night deserved that win, because they never backed down, never quite. They kept pursuing to the goal. No matter if some big boy was in the way, they found a way to get around that big obstacle. Which totally goes with our battle as a believer.


"Air"Jordan going in for a nice lay up. He gets it in of course!

Now, this Monday and Friday the boys are going to area and the regional tournament! Later on this coming week you will be able to hear how the boys did. Because our boys, they are warriors!

It's the best day ever!

Today is Tuesday. Apparently everything bad happens on a Tuesday. But that was quite the opposite for THIS GIRL! *points thumbs at herself* Today was a great day, to be quite honest. Like always, there were many many funny events that occurred today! When you read all of the funny and hilarious things that happened today, you will have to ice your tummy for awhile because your tummy is going to hurt!
First off, in science Mr.Gillham was explaining to us an experiment about when you put a Pepsi can on a hot surface thing and put water in it and boil the water. Once the water is boiled you pick it up with tongs and out it in cold water and it apparently crushes. Which, of course, did NOT happen when he did it. We were like "You did that little dent with the tongs!" So, he did it again and it actually crushed this time. But he seemed as if he was 5 years old when we said he did the dent with the tongs cause he got really offensive.

Second event of the day. We were in English, with Mrs.Chandler, and we were presenting our projects on the French Revolution. So, everyone goes and does well of course. And then, we talk about France's national anthem which none of us could think of how it went. Ben bust's out into the tune of England's anthem and says "France, France, France, France, FRANCE, France, France.." Everybody started laughing so loud! Then Mrs.Chandler looks a Ben and says "..No...Ben" Her face was so funny! It was the kind of face your mom and dad give you when you say something really dumb and stupid. Yeah, you know that face!

 Third event of this fantastic day, we were in Bible, which is where some of the funniest things come from. Just FYI. We are starting to take notes on Daniel, and Mr.Johnson walks up to the board to start writing the notes on the board. He gets to this one note and it reads "Who is what God is?". Apparently that's what one of the guys that went with Daniel to Neb, his name means that. He was very much confused and just didn't know what to say to it. He looks at what he wrote, looked at the paper, looked back at the board, and turned to us saying "WHY IS LIFEWAY SO DUMB?!? IS THIS EVEN ENGLISH? "Who is what God is?" WELL, YOU IS STUPID!" Ha ha ha. This man is my favorite teacher, by far! We all busted out in laughter. It's so true, because this whole year Lifeway has made issues like this in some of the weirdest ways. Not going to get into that. Just not today.  Later on in the class Mr.Johnson was writing about Shadrak, and his name means Shak-Earth goddess. So he says "Hey, next time y'all see Shaq, tell him his name means earth goddess...he will kill you." We look at him and our faces read "Yeah, cause we see Shaq everyday. And we talk to him all the time! And wait...do you want us to die?!" This man, yeah Mr.Johnson, he's one of the funniest guys I know!



I mean do you see this man ^. He has HUGE muscles and has tattoo's!!



Oh, and in the hall today, my friend Joseph gave me a ketchup packet that was completely different then I have ever seen in my life! It's now at Chickfila! You got to check it out! Its in an thing where you can dip or squeeze and it has 3x  the ketchup in it. Greatest thing Heinz has done. Well, it took them awhile. :]

As you can tell, I had an amazing day!! Hopefully, tomorrow will be the same. As I'm just dancing through life.

 

DIP&SQUEEZE KETCHUP=BEST IDEA EVER!







"IM AWAKE!!"

Today I was hanging out with Rebekah, Annie, Abby,and Jessi. Just having a great time. Laughing, cutting up, making obnoxious noises with our straws in our cups,(specially Rebekah) and just having fun! We went on a nice little old picnic at the green way place where they have the man made lake. It was perfect weather for it. Well to an extent it was. Ha ha. The geese were not eating our fries that we were throwing out at them...which confused us. And of course, wasted about 7 fries. So thanks a lot geese at green way!!! That makes us feel just grand.

 So, let me just tell you about a movie called "Awake". It's one of, well now, one of my favorite movies! It's about this guy who is dating a girl, but doesn't tell his mom because his dad died and he is all she has. But him and her have been dating for about a year. He finds out he has to have a heart transplant because he has issues with his heart. In the time between finding out he needs surgery to the day he has the surgery, he tells his mom about him and his girlfriend and gets married to her. He goes into surgery, they knock him out. He is numbed and all, butt he can still.feel.everything.they.are.doing!!! He feels and hears everything that's going on! He felt them cutting into him and everything. Later on you find out that the doctor doing the surgery is in debt and is going to kill him just so he can have all his money. Oh yeah, and his wife, yeah, she is on the doctors side and only got married to the patient just so she can gain his money since she is now married to him. HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT?!?!?! HIM FEELING EVERY LITTLE CUT THEY DO TO HIM!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT HAPPENING?!? I know I can't!
Later on the doctors get caught, sent to jail. The mom kills herself with overdose of pills, and gives her heart to her son so he can live. Just for your information, the whole mom killing herself happened a few minutes after she was told he didn't make it. And the cops were called, and another doctor saved his life. I have to say, this movie freaks me out because what if that ever happened to me? Its just to unbarring to think about.
That reminds me of how it is for us as Christians to think of all the pain Jesus went through for us on the cross...I mean, that is so much pain. And he was not knocked out. It's crazy to think that you can watch a crazy, ridiculous movie like 'Awake' and come out with something life changing.
Now, I just have to get over this now fear of surgery and possibly being able to feel every little nip, cut, break, and scrap they do. Joy.

Eureka! A blog

Finally, a blog. Yes, I'm writing a blog. What's wrong with that? Nothing. That's right. I never thought I would ever come to the conclusion of having and actually using a blog. Seemed a bit out of my league or just not something I nor others would suspect of me. But, hey there's a first time for everything.

When I told my parents I am starting a blog my mother was quite amazed and happy. She said "Oh, that sounds like fun! Whats the name? What are you writing about?" Many, many questions came from her. But my father on the other hand, was a bit different then my mother. He was saying "WHY? YOU HATE TO WRITE! What is a blog even for anyways? What's the point?" Isn't that just lovely. But, my mother explained to my lovely father what this "blog" was. I love my father so much. For saying things just like this.

Just the thought of writing about what happens in my life everyday, kind of scares me. Because people think their lives are crazy, hello! Have you seen what my life is like?! Just kidding. My life is not really THAT crazy, but it's on up there. My life is very entertaining,mostly at school. Many crazy, dumb, stupid, ridiculous, 5 year old things happen in my classroom 24-7 throughout the day. This is why I enjoy school. When I go to school, I start the day off with Mr.Gillham who will bore you to the point of sleeping. Which is worse for my class since we have the loving chance to hear him teach first thing in the morning. So, to brighten up our morning we always try to make each other laugh. Which just a few of the funny things happen in that classroom.

 Later on you will get to hear of what amazing things happen in my life. Since I'm dancing through life everyday!
