Sooooo upset:(
man! I am soooooooooo upset! Okay, for all of you out there who have not read the last book of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Last Battle, then skip this post! WARNING! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE LAST BATTLE! THIS WILL BE A HUGE SPOILER!
Okay, now back to what I was saying. I'm really upset about The Last Battle because of the ending.
For those who have read the end, then you know that Lucy, Edmund, Peter, Eustice, Jill, and I think Lucy's parents actually died in a train wreck. Well, I'm not upset about that because they go and live in the true Narnia (not the old one), any way, Susan had stopped believing in Narnia, thus she wasn't with her sister and brothers. THis really really really upsets me. Did she die as well? Does that mean she is forever seperated from them? If so then I'm about to give up liking Narnia (well, that's not true, but I am really upset) You see, I myself could relate to Susan. WEll, sorta. She was one of my favorite people. Since it doesn't really say I, with my very good imagination, came up with an idea. My idea is that Susan didn't die, but is still living, even though an orphan. Thus she is given another chance to believe in Narnia. She in her despair rediscovers Narnia, believes, and when she dies, goes to live in the true Narnia. I know that is probably so totally wrong, but I still want to hold out hope for Susan. It just doesn't seem right without her. So comment on it all you want, but oh well.
And if you are have not read the last battle, well, I warned you it would be a spoiler, so oh well.

Waiting
I missed you today. I was looking for you. I waited for you. Did you not hear me calling?
I watched over you while you slept. I excitedly waited for the morning. I thought, yes! Maybe today! Maybe
today, you would hear my calling. I couldn't wait to talk to you! It has been so long! I miss you! I waited patiently for you as you got up. My heart was full of anticipation. But you turned away. Okay, I thought, maybe later. As you got ready for school. I helped you find your shoes, but you didn't know it. As you drove, I kept a drunk from hitting you. But you didn't know it. As you waited..and waited..and waited for the light to turn green. I called your name. Hoping you would hear. But no, you turned on your radio. As the day went on, I was there. I was there as you rushed to class. I was there when you finally passed your spanish class with an A. I rejoiced over you. I love you! I was there when those guys stole your money. I was there when you tried to cover up your black eye. I cried over you! I want to help you! I wanted to be right by your side. But you pushed me away. All you had to do was call my name. I was there when you came home to your parents fighting. I was there when you were hurt by their angry words. I wanted to swing down and comfort you. I wanted to wipe away all your pains. All you had to do was call. But you turned away. You went to bed hurt, angry, and dissapointed. I waited and watched you as you slept. Maybe tomorrow, I thought.
The next day came. Still you turned away. "No." you thought "No, why should I call to a God who doesnt' care?" NO! I thought. I'm not like that! I care! I really do! You just won't let me! Finally, you met a friend who ivited you to a party. "Yes!" You thought, " I need to get away." But it was unlike anyparty you've ever been to.
Right in the middle of the party, a man got up to speak. He spoke of me! You tried to tune him and me out.
But couldn't. I waited, I was on the edge. I wanted to jump up and shout, but I waited. The man spoke of my love. My comfort. He spoke of what I did for you on the cross. Yes, it was painfull, but I would do anything to keep you with me. I LOVE YOU! I want you to have the best. He spoke of the people mocking me. Their harsh words. The beatings they gave me. You thougth before that I couldn't understand your pain. I do understand more than you know. Finall the moment came I had waited for for so long!
"JESUS! I need you! " your vioce broke, and My heart burst at your call. "Here I am" I said, and I will never ever leave!

Hoorraayyy!
okay, I finally met Steven Terenova!!!!!!!!! YAY! For all of you scratching your heads, Steven takes Tae Kwon Doe with my dad and my brother. He is the same age as me and apparently knew about me for a while. It's a really long story, but here goes:
My dad met Steven at TKD(Tae Kwon Doe) Apparently, we had a lot in common and told Steven so. Well, over the past summer we never got the chance to meet because of our scedules. So we pretty much communicated through my dad. Now, how weird can you get? Well, finally last night I got to meet him. Ashley who goes to my church takes TKD at the same place and knew Steven. She was able to get up with him and we 3 made arrangements to go see the movie King Kong last night. It was really fun and I finnaly got to meet him. He's a pretty cool guy. Sorta crazy though in a good way. By the way, King Kong is an AWESOME movie!

Lalalalalaaaaa la LAAAAAAAAAAAA! :p
Okay, you've probable guessed it, I"m bored. Hey guess what, I can multi- task! I'm talking to my dad and writing at the same time! Ha! Ain't I special. Okay, really really lame story:
I was at my dad's side of the family's Christmas gathering last Sat. For some odd reason, we had 3 difirent teas. One was peach, one was unsweet :# (yuck! NObody in my family drinks that! Why in the world did we have it?)
Anyway, the last tea said : ant. sweet , so I was like, ain't sweet? See, my family is just like that. I wouldn't have doubted for a minute that one of them actually wrote, ain't sweet on the tea. So I ask my cousing why it's written as ain't sweet. She started laughing and said that it wasn't "ain't sweet" but it was actually artifitial sweetner, and that the n on ant. sweet. was really supposed to be an r. Go figure! Well, I wasn't the only one:)

~Wonders~
Do you ever wonder..
Why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green?
Was Atlantis real? If so, what happened to it?
Why is there brail at a DRIVE UP atm?
Who figured out that you can get milk out of a cow? (seriously think about it)
Why do PETA supporters eat at a McDonald's or a BurgerKing? Do they think they are helping the animals by eating them?
Why is winter called winter, and not summer?
Or Summer not called winter? (It may seem obvious, but think about it)
Why do some words sound weird after you say them over and over? (say like cow over and over slowly)
Why are Hotdogs called hotdogs when they're made from pigs or even turkeys?

I have a crazy van!
Here's some really random crud: Today, my van, Woody (dubbed woody by Kathy from chuch) decided to spew black smoke from the exhaust pipe while I was heading to the barn. I come home that evening to a van that was okay, it just decided to be ornery. I swear my van is ALIVE and likes to play tricks on me! Yeah, really random crud. But hey, you read it :P
Yay!
YAY! Yay, Christmas break starts tomorrow!!!!! For all of you reading my blog, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Why?
Why? Why do you run? Don't you know I love you? I don't want to harm you. I love you. I give you the sun by day to warm your body and soul. I give you the moon and the stars by night to light your way in the dark. I love you. Yes, there will be hard times, but I will be there. I am your port in the storms. Your stronghold in the wind. You may go through fire, but hold fast! Do not run! In the end you shall come out purer than the finest gold. I am there, even when you can't feel me, I'm there. Why do you run? Are you scared? Don't be.
For I will be your courage. Are you scared of the dark? I will be your light. Are you scared of falling? I will be your rock, your firm foundation. If you fall, have no fear, I will be there. I will catch you faster than a thought. All you have to do is call my name. Are you scared of others mocking you? Of thinking your a freak? I went through it all. I was a freak to the world. I was mocked, cast out, and beaten. I wil be there with and for you. I will be your shield. If your are with me, even if your torn, beaten, mocked, you will prevail- even though death. I was beaten, mocked, and killed. For you? Why would I go through all that pain just to say, I don't love you. I don't forgive you? Those are lies. I died in your place that you may live with me forever. I LOVE YOU! I will always be there. Please come back. I miss you. Until you realize how much I love you, I will wait.
-Jesus

More random stuff
Here's some more random pointless facts about me: I've had only like 3 crushes in my ENTIRE life. No, I won't tell you who, except for 1: Leonardo Decaprio. How random is that? Now, I can't even stand the guy. I liked him in, I think, the 4th grade. I don't have a boyfriend. Hmm..even if I did, I don't think I'd bring him to my family's Christmas. They'd probably scare him away :P To all my older cousins: You are so brave! Well, maybe that should go more to their boyfriends. :)
just stuff
okay, I'm like, really really bored right now. Oh well. There's only 2 more days 'till Christmas break!! Yay! Tack it was really good to see you tonight. O wow, last night my dad's family had its Christmas thing. It was so much fun! My cousin is gettin' married in March! How crazy is that! It's funny, she's marrying a guy named Mark. Now we have 2 Marks in the family. It's really confusing. o.o aNy way, I know this is probalby just a bunch of crud to you, but oh well, your the one reading it:) My cousin Kimberly is one of my coolest cousins. She gave me like a whole bag of her old clothes! I mean she's still a really cool cousin anyway. I'm not really into clothes at all, but I really needed some new ones. So I'm really happy:) Kimberly, if your reading this your one cool cousin! Even if you didn't give me any clothes. It was great to see you!
Well, I told you I was bored:P

This is a totally cool poem!
The Listeners
"Is there anybody there?" said the Traveller,
Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the grasses
of the forest's ferny floor:
And a bird flew up out of the turret,
Above the Traveller's head:
And he smote upon the door again a second time;
"Is there anybody there?" he said.
But no one descended to the Traveller;
No head from the leaf'-fringed sill
Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,
Where he stood perplexed and still.
But only a host of phantom listeners
That dwelt in the lone house then
Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight
To that voice from the world of men:
Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,
That goes down to the empty hall,
Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken
By the lonely Traveller's call.
And he felt in his heart their strangeness,
Their stillness answering his cry,
While his horse moved, cropping the dark furf,
'Neath the starred and leafy sky;
For he suddinly smote on the door, even
Louder, and lifted his head: -
"Tell them I came, and no one answered,
That I kept my word," he siad.
Never the least stir made the listeners,
Though every word he spake
Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house
From the one man left awake:
Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup,
And the sound of iron on stone,
And how the silence surged softly backward,
When the plunging of hoofs were gone.
*Walter De La Mare

The warrior's armor
Tack, I was originally put this post out for you, but I figured anybody could see this one. (This post is mostly for Christians but if your not you could learn something as well)
This is what David Sapp ( a really cool guy) spoke about last Wed. night.
We being Christians have a fight continuously before us. Because we are Christians we have already won the battle! Jesus has already defeated satan. Satan knows this, but wants to take out as many humans (not just Christians) as he can. Just to get at God. As warriors for Christ we need armor. Without it, just like in a real physical battle we would totally lose. Ephesians6:12 says: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Thus we need to be prepared. Eph.6:13 says: Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day fo evil comes, you may be able to stand you ground.
This is your amor:
The warrior's armor: Ephesians 6:14-18
Eph. 6:14
1> Belt of Truth
Satan likes to attack with lies. That is his main weapon. He is the father of lies.
Satan will use lies to break you and wear you down. He will use lies like, "your no good, your worthless, God doesn't really love you." and so on. Those are flat out lies. But sometimes when we get down they are easy to believe.
>John 8:32 says: "..the truth shall set you free" It will. Jesus didn't die on the cross and bear all that pain just so he could say, "naw , I really don't love you and your worthless!" In the ancient Roman times, men wore dress like clothes. When in battle they had to wear a belt to hold up their long clothes so they woudn't trip and fall. Not only it SURE IS HARD running in a dress.(all you ladies out there know what I mean:) If you trip and fall when someone is coming to kill you that gives the other person an advantage. (duhh!) For us, the belt of truth is holding our long robes up so we don't trip and fall for the devil. It reminds us that those things are lies.
Eph 6:14
>Breastplate of rightechousness.
(sorry guys, I ran out of time. I'll tackle this one tomorrow. By the way, if you understood what I said earlier, let me know. If not let me know also, and then I'll try to explain later.)
