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!

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.

[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!!!!!

[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...

!!!MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EVERYONE!!!

(PS: the above photo came from Olivia Collin's blog Horse Feathers: http://ofhorsefeathers.blogspot.com/)


How many of you are just obsessed with Christmas music and carols? I am!!!
Okay... I meant the kind of "obsessed" as where you think about them all the time and are singing them 24/7!!! Yeah, that's me....


Some of my favorite Christmas carols have significant meanings from long ago, where they originated from. I am only going to name one, but however, know there are many many more than any of you will ever in a million years care to read about (wink, wink)...

THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

Most of you (hopefully) know the song that begins, "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me..." Yeah! That's the one! The other day while I was at my best friend, Carmen (we run a blog together called the Barefoot Sisters: http://barefootsisters.blogspot.com)'s house, her mother read us the meaning of The 12 Days Of Christmas:

On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

A Partridge in a Pear Tree
The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, whose birthday we celebrate on December 25, the first day of Christmas. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge that feigns injury to decoy predators from her helpless nestlings, recalling the expression of Christ's sadness over the fate of Jerusalem: "Jerusalem! Jerusalem! How often would I have sheltered you under my wings, as a hen does her chicks, but you would not have it so . . . ." (Luke 13:34)

On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

Two Turtle Doves
The Old and New Testaments, which together bear witness to God's self-revelation in history and the creation of a people to tell the Story of God to the world.

On the 3rd day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

Three French Hens
The Three Theological Virtues:  1) Faith, 2) Hope, and 3) Love (1 Corinthians 13:13)

On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

The first Five Books of the Old Testament, known as the Torah or the Pentateuch:  1) Genesis, 2) Exodus, 3) Leviticus, 4) Numbers, and 5) Deuteronomy, which gives the history of humanity's sinful failure and God's response of grace in the creation of a people to be a light to the world.

On the 6th day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

Six Geese A-laying
The six days of creation that confesses God as Creator and Sustainer of the world (Genesis 1).
