Ok, first Autumn Blaze was amazing!!!!!!!!! Toby Mac... loved it! I knew Toby Mac before and stuff, but I really didn't know his stuff too much, now I love it!!! His encore lasted like 40 min! It as crazy, but sooo good!!!
Barlow Girl...of course they were good...I love them anyway! They had the best testimony, and Toby Ma had the best music! AND THEY DID THE EVERYTHING SKIT!!!!!!!! It was a little different from the original, but it was still good. Even before the music started up and the actors came on stage, I knew it was The Everything skit....I have no clue how lol! And for worship they sang The Stand by Hillsong...love it!
I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!! Stephanie J. Block is the new Elphabah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE TO GO SEE IT NOW LOL!!!! But the sad thing is that the AMAZING guy who played Jean Valjean in Les Miserables left Oct 7 ( or was it 8th?). He had an AMAZING voice, and my mom and sister can second that. I was soooo sad that he left....I still haven't checked to see who the new Jean Valjean is though...I hope he's good.
Ok, so I'm still sick...yuck! I was absent Tues and Wed. Today I was thinking about not going because in the morning my throat REALLY hurt. I had tea though and it felt better....for a little while. I thought I could get through the whole day, but as it went on, I felt worse. So I went to the nurse for my mom to pick me up. The thing I don't get about school is that they expect you to (when you come back) have the homework you missed (at least in hs). Or, do it over the weekend, which they think I have time (which I don't). And if I want to get better I need to SLEEP, not do more homework....that will only make me sick for a longer time. Oh, our world is messed up. LOL! Sometimes schools in America (and elsewhere) don't get it.....only homeschoolers understand. WE NEED TIME FOR LIFE! To live, learn, observe, have time to work on our hobbies, and. People accept busyness as a way of life, but IT DOESN'T have to be that way...I know....I've done it before. In order for people( us being human beings), we need time to relax and take a break, but I don't think the world understands that very, very simple concept. It's common sense, but as I look around, our world is losing "common sense" and starting to be like the people in F 451. (Never Saw it Coming lol.... that's from a sermon). I was listening to a book on tape called Making Room For Life, and at the end the author said that our world is so messed up with rushing around everywhere, that the BEST way of living a life with time for LIFE is to homeschool, and I happen to agree. And you know all the homework we get? How people think that MORE will make people more intelligent and smarter....sorry...nope...doesn't work that way. Statistics show that kids are learning absolutely NOTHING when homework/ level of intensity increases. WHY? Too much....cramming...never taking time to process information...rush, rush, rush. More homework means less learning, and this is so true....if every teacher gives tons of homework, then that leave you to cram all the information in your head without really learning it. And it's also unhealthy....physically. Not enough rest, only one side of your brain being used, no break, overload of everything until a person crashes and gets sick. Then, when the/she is sick, they are not aloud to sleep b/c of h/w...hmmmm....sounds strange right? Ok, I better stop...I could write a paper on this.....really, I've stuffed this paper into my brain for like 4 years....lol!!! I could go on and on with making valid points, but I won't because I'd rather do something else lol!
Oh, one more topic that in a way relates to this. It's soooo obvious. I was just talking about this to my mom yesterday. America (maybe in 10 or 15 years) will probably have a economic downfall. Just with the way America places importance on non-important things while forgetting about the IMPORTANT problems. And how much money is used for new McDonalds, and Walgreens and Wal-Marts while there are like 5 of them on the same block. And then a Children's Hospital is nowhere, and you could find thousands of unimportant stores. Or what about this: with abortion being "ok" we are killing our next generation. come on, think logically. Where does our next generation come from???? the new-born babies, and if thousands are killing babies—no more next generation. And just think, now, if let's say a Fifteen-year-old is going to have a baby, they an abort that baby without their parents knowing.....ummm.....let's think that over. THE ARE STILL KIDS! And they an kill someone when they can't even drive yet by law???? Yes, and there's an argument that they are not even a person yet, but ok....FORGET ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND! Yes, in my opinion, a person would be killing another human being. But let's say if you don't believe that. They are just tissue at the moment, a fetus or whatever you want to say. Well, eventually that fetus WILL BECOME a cute, adorable child. If you kill that, you kill the next child who would have entered the world. If you believe in abortion, go watch the movie Tilly, or read the book Gianna.
And if you believe in abortion, how would you feel if the baby you tried to abort lived through the abortion, and grew up to be an amazing person? How could you face YOUR daughter, face to face, at the age of 12, and say, "When I was pregnant with you, I aborted you...I didn't want you. You were only tissue to me, and it wouldn't have mattered if you died because you were not human."?????? How muh would that hurt an innocent, little girl' feelings???? Well, this HAS happened to people in history. One is Gianna Jensen, an amazing singer and professional runner....she's alive today...famous. Her mother aborted her...Gianna suffered...but she lived through it all, and now she is very famous, giving her testimony around America, singing at places and touching people's lives with her beautiful voice, and competing in track races. This type of thing (someone aborting a child, and then the child live through it) happens a lot....I've read up on it. Gianna is just one child. Would you want to kill her now? She's a grown women now....what about when she was just a tiny piece of tissue.....??? If you knew that "tissue" would become your best friend, would you abort her/him? Or maybe someone who would became an actress on Broadway? You don't know what special gift that child will bring into your life...why kill it? Why kill our next generation? Why kill people who will inspire our world, and contribute in some way or another? Just why? Give me a GOOD reason why? I can't think of any.....unless you're thinking only of yourself, and not even a tiny pinch of your child......
Woooh...sorry, I had to get a lot out....it took a little bit. I just had a lot to say. I was going to make this post a short one lol!!!! Well, I guess I had some things I just could not stop from typing haha!
But the good thing is that Jon's home, and Cara's coming home tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited...it's our family fall trip time! Ahhhh, woods, cider donuts, cider (and hot cider), pumpkins, fresh-picked apples, the smell of fall!!!! Once that place comes into view, it will officially be fall for me lol!
btw.....I love life, I love Jesus, I love my family, I love my friends, I love my school, I love how amazing God is and how He created us to love and to not act like robots.
And I don't love how my keyboard is messed up and it won't type the letter C until I press it like a thousand times lol! But it's all good lol!
Bottom line: God is good, and He is love...that's all that matters!
