you're my everyday hero

[first off...]


So, I know of these bloggers, the best followers in the world. You know why? Because they helped me up, once again, when I fell...

Thank you followers! I owe you all an apology- a big one. I am sorry for the whole last post.... I wasn't thinking. But, I know what you are thinking- "What does the title have to do with apologies.." Well, it doesn't have anything at all to do with it- I am not intending for this post to be all about my apology... so here is the real post:

______________________________________________________________________________

How many of you know what it is like to have struggles with your parents? MEEEE! In fact, I just had one last night, with my mom. It always has to be the mom doesn't it? The one who birthed you, stayed home with you while your dad worked to feed you, the one who clothed you, bathed you, your all around everyday hero. 

I felt pretty bad after I fought with her. It was around 10pm when I did so. She came up to my room at about 11 and talked to me about it. It wasn't a bad talk, it was a gentle, reminder kinda talk. Yanno what I mean? ;)

I discovered this new guy singer and actor, his name is Luke Benward, and he looks like a miniature Justin Bieber, he even sounds like one. Now, that is not at all the reason why I like him now- it is because he is almost exactly like Justin, yet, all he sings about is healthy, Christian subjects, such as parents, God, helping people, etcetera.  

He wrote and recorded this song called, "Everyday Hero." and it is talking about him and his parents. He is saying that even though he doesn't need them as much as he used to for things like getting dressed, walking to school, etc., he still loves them and needs them to be there in his life for him.
It's on the bottom of this blog, most likely playing this moment, if you want to actually listen to it all, start it over, and listen. Trust me, you will walk away changed  :)

PS: my new about me page is almost finished!

please excuss my harshness

Okay, so, hence the title, "please excuse my harshness," but, to be honest, I am getting tired and sick of some of you saying that some people don't deserve the credit that they really do work hard to earn, or that they are bad at what they do. Or, because they don't put a certain word in a song it means that they are a so-called, "fake." Okay, most of you know who I am talking about by now. That's right... the one that some of you hate... but, I just so happen to love, and I am absolutely without a doubt proud of it.


What? So it has now become like, "popular," or, "cool," to say you hate by dear brother Justin (Justin Bieber) because he used to sound somewhat "girly." HE DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A GIRL! Common.... he is a boy... and he is a very, very talented boy at that matter! Think a minute... who do you know that is a young 16 year old, that had a record deal, is the most popular teenager in the entire world, that can dance like a... never mind, I don't have the right word... anyway, he can dance really well, and can sing AMAZINGLY, like no one I have ever heard. Ya.... no one. I thought so. 


I did a post awhile back about him too. And it really is true... he is just like you and me. He had a passion, he followed it, and look where he is today! He has done through hard times, his parents divorced when he was really little and he even broke his leg once, and his ankle another time. That's right... he is such a trooper. He broke his ankle in a concert, and he kept on going. He tripped and he limped through the rest of the concert, then was rushed to the hospital right after. Then the other time he was dancing on a coffee table in his house with Usher being boys, and he fell off and broke his ankle.


So.... I don't really care if all of you hate me now... I know one of you does... 
Yeah.... you absolutely can judge! I don't care!!!!!


PS: once again... please excuse my harshness! but I am SICK AND TIRED OF IT! So please... (excuse my language!) shut up! Just do it!

never say never....

never say never....
See I never thought that I could walk through fire.
I never thought that I could take the burn.
I never had the strength to take it higher,
Until I reached the point of no return.
And there's just no turning back,
When your hearts under attack,
Gonna give everything I have,
It's my destiny.

I will never say never
I will fight till forever
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
And never say never.

I never thought I could feel this power.
I never thought that I could feel this free.
I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower.
And I'm fast enough to run across the sea.

And there's just no turning back,
When your hearts under attack,
Gonna give everything I have,
Cause this is my destiny.

I will never say never!
I will fight till forever!
Whenever you knock me down,
I will not stay on the ground.
Pick it up,
And never say never.

I can handle him.
Hold up, aight?
I can handle him.

Now he's bigger than me,
Taller than me.
And he's older than me,
And stronger than me.
And his arms a little bit longer than me.
But he ain't on a JB song with me!

I be trying a chill
They be trying to side with the thrill.
No pun intended, was raised by the power of Will.

Like Luke with the force, when push comes to shove.
Like Cobe with the 4th, ice water with blood.

I gotta be the best, and yes
We're the flyest.
Like David and Goliath,
I conquered the giant.
So now I got the world in my hand,
I was born from two stars
So the moon's where I land.

He is my beloved lover

Teacher: Monday is Valentine's Day. Do any of you know what that means?
Non- Christian Student: OH! I know, I know!


    
              "hearts                 +               romance             +      cute little candies      &     little puppy dogs that 
                                                                                                                                 look so cute you could
                                                                                                                                          eat them!"
Non- Christian Student/Punk: No way dude! Valentine's Day is for...




   
"skateboarding              going to movies 
with friends         &            with girls"


Christian Student (Joshua): Valentine's Day is for showing love to those who don't feel loved. It is for remembering what Jesus did for us all- died for our sins. It is for giving to the poor and making others day around you one of the best days they have ever had. 


Teacher: Joshua, this is school. You know that. You are not allowed to talk about your religion here, no one else believes what you do. Now, what does Valentine's Day really mean you guys? It means having fun with family and giving each other presents to show how much we love each other.


later that day, when class ends....


Teacher: No homework this weekend class! Have a nice weekend!


Christian Student (Joshua): Have a nice weekend! Jesus loves you!




~~~~~

It's sad to think that some people think what the non-Christian, the non-Christian punk, and the teacher believe Valentine's Day is all about. 

Valentine's Day is all about sharing the love of Jesus with others, as many of you are doing on your blogs today. God sent his son, Jesus, his one and only son, down here, to romance a world that is torn all apart. And people hated him. They spit on Him, called Him names, and nailed Him to a cross to die, they even broke His wrists and ankles, and He did it all for us. He had never sinned, but they killed Him because they simply hated Him. He didn't do any wrong, but He was willing to die for us. That is the most unfathomable story of love the world will ever know. No matter how many times we sin, He will never leave us and He will always love us. 

This song illustrates what I am trying to say, and it is the most touching song I have ever known. 

Beloved.

Love of my life, 
look deep in my eyes,
there you will find what you need.

Give me your life,
the lust and the lies,
the past your afraid I might see.

You've been running
away from me,
yeah, yeah.

Your my Beloved lover,
I'm yours.
Death shall not part us.
It's you I died for.
For better, for worse.
Forever will be,
my love it units us,
and it binds you to me.
It's a mystery.

Love of my life,
look deep in my eyes,
there you will find what you need.

I'm the Giver of Life,
I'll cloth you in white,
my immaculatant bride you will be.

You're my Beloved love,
I'm yours.
Death shall not part us.
It's you I died for.
For better, for worse.
Forever will be.
My love it units us,
and it binds you to me.
It's a mystery. 

Well you've been a mistress, my wife
Chasing lovers it won't satisfy
Won't you let me make you my bride
You will drink of my lips
And taste new life.

You're my beloved
Lover I'm yours
Death shall not part us
It's you I died for
For better or worse
Forever we'll be
Our Love it unites us
it binds you to me

You're my beloved
Forever we'll be
Our love it unites us
And it binds you to me
It's a mystery

JESUS LOVES YOU!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

An Enchanting Story

Have you ever watched a movie, read a book, or listened to a song, and it just- did something. You could never really explain it, or, for that matter, comprehend it, you just knew that it moved you in some way that was unimaginable.

I have, there was song, a movie, and a book (actually a series) that moved me in that way, but I will only make quick mention of the song and the series, because the main reason for this post was to talk a little bit o' 'bout my all time favorite movie. (oh! and the song is Beloved by Tenth Avenue North, and the series is The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis)

Before I introduce the movie, I would like to state a couple of touching quotes that I will forever remember from the movie:

A man who fears nothing is a man who loves nothing.


Brother to brother, yours in life and death.


I want to marry you. Not your crown, not your army. Just you.


Only fools dream of the one thing they can’t have.


and finally, the last quote I will tell you, my absolute favorite...


There was once a man that loved you too much to change you.


Have you guessed the movie yet?
If you have not seen it, I shall think not. However, if you have, it is easily remembered.

The move is The First Knight.

The First Knight is a movie full of enchantment and an enchanted love, and it inspired me to be a better person. 

Whether or not your favorite character is King Authur, Queen Guinevere, Lancelot, Malagant (and I will feel so dreadfully sorry for you if heSir Agravaine  is your favorite), or  Sir Agravaine, the enchanting story of love will draw you in from the very beginning.


If you haven't seen the First Knight, it is a must see, and can be found on amazon for as little as $8.99!!!

[you can call me CRAZY]

As Bleah Briann once said in a post about Carrie Underwood vs. Taylor Swift... this is my blog... my opinion.... so please, feel free to dissagree... but my opinions are my opinions.... and I definantly know some people who will disagree completely... and to be honest.... I don't really care  :)


There are some crazy people out there.
There are some crazy books out there.
There are some crazy songs out there.
There are some crazy songs out there.
There are some crazy poems out there.
And I can tell you one thing... I am different than most.... I go for the abnormal... and I live in the extroidinary.... and I absolutely love the crazy things... well, some of them  :)



This is not one of those subjects that I spend hours and hours talking about.... all I can say is that... (I know a lot of you will not be happy with this...)

I OFFICIALLY LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER....
not the, "in love" type of like... I mean I like his music...  :)

BOOYAH!!!!!

[my mind has been mixed!]

YIKES! the third post today.... AHH

However... this is totally worth it!
"What can be worth a third blog post today?" you ask...
well... when my mind has been mixed...


Lately, my dear friend (not just in the blogging world... she and her sister, Elizabeth, started me on this blogging journey...), Bree, and Ara, have been re-writing their books. Hearing this caused me to think a little about the plot and story line of mine... and now... well, my mind has been mixed, and mixed and mixed.  I am sure you all know what this means...

I am officially re-writing my novel, Friends, Far Away, and an Emerald Orb. 

Shocker... I know. Especially to Bree and Elizabeth... who have read the first draft of my book and know what the story line and the flow is...

No one can stop me! Not even my dearest friends... not even my parents... not even my brothers or my sisters... no one... so don't try tomorrow, Bree and Elizabeth... :)

[do ya?]

Hello... again, everyone! ugg, this is my second post today... but I couldn't resist...

"Do ya" like my new font? Leave a comment as well!

[I recently fell head over heels in love with...]

owl city  :)




Yes, I know... falling into the world of Bleah Briann... owl city+adam young=the most amazingest band in the world!!!


Please, do not get onto me. I still love all the other awesome bands such as The 77's, Relient K, TobyMac (I once knew Trudog, we had the same babyshower  :P ), Group 1 Crew, Matthew West, Tenth Avenue North... etc. But I have to say right now that Owl City has to be my all-time favorite, with Matthew West, Tenth Avenue North, and Relient K close, snipping at Owl City's frigid edges.

I fell... into a crystal covered cave... a cave called Owl City, where Bleah Briann and others cram into the music-filled hole in the ground.

I guess that's all I have to say... please leave a comment telling me what you think...
