Protectivness

What's Up!! So this is something that I have faced alot of today oddly enough.

To start off I got home from baby-sitting and pull up to see 2 girls talking to Jay(he was outside playing B-Ball). I almost went into monster mode. Who are these girls? Why are they talking to my brother? What are they doing standing in my drive way? I was like crazy. Why? Because I care about my brother, because I don't want him to get hurt and because I had no clue who they were. I wanted to protect him from them, from what they could bring.

That may not have made sense but it did to me. Next was my mom today.

Her singles class is having a lunch today so I asked one of my friends whose mom was probably going to it too if he was going to eat there(to make sure I wasn't the only youth). He said yea and we started talking about it, and he said that we had to keep the guys away from our mom's. I was like Heck yea, we'll beat any body up who comes near them.

Idk, I guess I feel like I'm suppose to protect my family from the world and from things that I don't like or things that I think could be hurtful towards them.

Which leads me to the 3rd protective thing. I have a friend who I personally feel so bad for their 1st boyfriend because I will personally stalk and threaten him with every breath I take. Tonight I actually became friends with this one guy just to keep my eye on him, not that they were talking or were dating but that he could cause "damage" I guess you could say. And yea, I know my friend is a big girl, but still, it's just I feel like I'm suppose to be that protective "Hey, You hurt her you die" kind of person. haha. This sounds way lame... way.

But I think I'm protective because I care. I would never want my brother, mom, or friend to be hurt. And as I typed this I realized that all these protective happenings would happen in a relationship with another person and personally those are the relationships that can ruin a person. Those are the ones that you do have to watch... which I am doing.

And no, none of this probably made sense to you but it did to me so deal with it. I'm protective and have the people around me's backs. It's my job... I feel like.

Ahhh... EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, So I'm officially stoked about life right now. If you didn't know I've been in Auburn the past 2 days. I'm at a leadership conference for SGA... two words... AHH Mazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I so regret not having gone on a campus tour of the college before choosing where I was gonna go. I absolutley love it here!!! We toured the stadium and campus, it was great!! And today was O-Day so alot of the organizations had tents set up that you could visit. They were GREAT too!!!!!

So now I'm thinking of transfering here after my first year at Troy. It's just Awesome, but that's just a thought. Who knows what could happen between now and then.

This was short and sweet. Not much to say.

Oh, follow my friend www.lindseyraye.blogspot.com. She's new to the blog world.

Have a great week!!!

Chosen Generation

Ok, so Satan is attacking our generation of youth and I'm not ok with that. So this is what I say to him..........

Satan, you are losing. This world is yours, We don’t want it. We have a better place to go, a better place to live. The crap that’s here, it’s all yours.

Do what you want, break our parents, break our families, but you WILL NEVER break our hearts. Our relationship is stronger than your hold. Christ is our rock, he is our stronghold, You have no authority over us. You are a stupid little demon who thinks he’s all that and your not.

Take a reality check. We will conquer you, we will leave this world, and we will go to a place that has no hurt, has no sorrow, and has no pain. And guess what… YOU WON’T BE THERE!!!!!!

You think you’re all that hurting the youth of today with your little schemes to break apart our families, well that’s why God created friends. That’s why a friend’s relationship is unbreakable. We all go through things and we are all there to uplift those around us. You can’t mess with my friends satan, I’m going to hold them up with the help of Christ. You can’t mess with my family, though we are broken because of your stupidness, we are still a family in the fact that we are all related by the blood of Jesus Christ.

So back off, this town is not yours, this community, this nation is covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. I declare it right now, YOU NO LONGER HAVE POWER OVER US!!!!!! You no longer rule us. The madness stops here. The cruelty stops here. It’s over, your reign over our lives is over. God has both his hands around us, he is not letting go. He is holding on for the eternity so you mise well give up Satan, Your not gonna win. Your not going to conquer but be the one who is conquered.

I call forth a nation that stands up against divorce, abortion, hate, crime, cruelty towards authority, and a nation who stands up for the one who gave it all on a cross, who shed His pure, honest blood so that we can unite and be one. SO that we can unite against those of evil.

We are one family united by the blood of a Savior you could never be.

We will conquer you.

We will win.

You will die…

Eternally.

"But you are not like that, for you are a chosen generation. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into His marvelous light." -- 1 Peter 2:9

Tattoo

Hello everyone. It's been about 2 weeks since my last post. I figured I better get on here and do something. SO here it goes.

Umm... I'm gonna talk about my tattoo. It's really funny because a lot of people the past few weeks have "found out about it". So I thought I would explain it(because I know all these people read it... not really). Anyways...

I got my tattoo the day before my Papa's funeral, September 17, 2009. It has a lot of symbolism when I think about it.

One it represents my Christianity. I'm a sold out Christian and I'm marked for Christ. The fish represents that I'm willing to show who I am, a Christian. Way back when, if you were found to be a Christian you were persecuted. SO Christians came up with the Christian fish. If two people came in contact with each other one would draw the top part of the fish with there foot in the sand. If the other person was a Christian then they would finish the fish, and the two would know it was ok to speak about Christ. My tattoo is a fish to show I am a Christian and I will speak about my King, and the Cross represents the Crucifixion of Jesus and what He did for me.

Second it represents my Papa. His love for Christ and his family. Every time I look at it I think of him, of the influence he had on my life and the lives of those around him. This tattoo is forever printed on my body just like the memories of him are forever printed in my mind. I'll love and miss him until the day I die.

Third it represents pain. Anyone who knows anything knows tattoo's are painful. It's like "a thousand bee's stinging you at one time." That's how I put it the day I got it. But the tattoo represents the pain I experienced the past year. Slowly watching my grandfather die and experiencing my parents divorce was the worst thing I have ever gone through. This tattoo symbolizes the way in which through the pain I experienced, my relationship with Christ has even grown stronger, a bond like no other, a bond that cannot be removed. He has gotten me through all that has happened in my 17 years of life and will continue to be my Rock and my Strong hold.

My tattoo isn't just one to have, or one for looks. It's a part of my life, a memory, an experience. Something I'll always live with and be able to share my life story through.

I just felt like I should express what all it meant somewhere. So there ya go.

Ski Trip

Good Afternoon!

So I just got home from the ski trip... you could probably say it was one of the best trips ever. I had SO much fun. One, I forgot how AMAZING skiing is and how fun. Two, I got to hang out with Lindsey and Daniel most the time... it was great!! So many stories, funny stories at that, to be told.

We only had one broken bone, and on the slope that I wiped out pretty bad on... TWICE!!! Thanks God for not letting me be that broken bone! This year for devotion we did a little something different. Instead of meeting as a big group, each person had to come up with a devotion to give to the people in their rooms. It was pretty AWESOME! I'm gonna use our 4 Bible Studies to teach a lesson in 1st Priority because they all strangley meshed together, It was Awesome!!

Let's see... You could say this was one of the biggest drama filled, relationship set-upy, text the person sitting infront of you to talk about the one 3 seat behind you trip I'ved ever been on. It got pretty crazy at times, especially the ride back.

All in all it was great. We got home and I ended up going to see Avatar with a friend. Great movie, I enjoyed it alot. However, it is very, very long. Slept for 11 hours Saturday, then went Galaxy bowling. That was a good time. Always is. Then in church today found out that this guy cut all his hair off, that was a miracle. Pretty crazy, but glad he finally did it.

Umm, I'm not doing to good with my Dad right now. I just, idk, he's been doing alot of things that I guess you could say get on my nerves. I'm set for Troy. Got an apartment and everything. I couldn't remember if I had said that yet.

THat's everything I've got to say really. Hope everyone had an AMAZING Christmas and New Years.
