So this year I am in choir. Today, I went in to set up my classes. I signed up for choir, but I am not so sure that I want to keep it.
You would think that in choir of all things, there wouldn't be drama. But, thats a lie. There has been so much drama. I love singing, but I'm not so sure I want to deal with it.
What do you think? Keep it, or drop it?

I want to live for...
Today I went to my neighbors house to work on personal progress. Now, lately I have been down on myself. I have been stressed, been rude to people, had no patience, and that isn't like me. Normally someone could be throwing flaming balls of fire at me, and I would still be in controll. But lately if I find out that someone said something about me behind my back, I just don't want to talk to them. And I snap at everyone else because I assume that everyone is doing the same. But I am normally not quick to judge.
I think this is all because I have been hard on myself. I have been telling myself "I am not good enough to do such and such, or so and so hates me because I did this." when I really didn't do anything wrong, but I have been taking things to heart way to much. Today was just one of those days, where god told me "I am good. Everyone makes stupid mistakes. Everyone regrets things. But I am still wonderful. I am doing so many things right, don't let the little things you are doing wrong get you down." and he showed me that in many ways.
I was reading scriptures for my personal progress, and it was about qualities a mother should have. As I was reading, I kept thinking "I do that. I do that. I do that." to almost every single thing that it listed.
I'm church something that was said made me realize that. "The two most important things a person can do is controll their thoughts, and communicate with god" two things I have been working very hard on.
I was talking to my sister in law on the phone, and we were talking about horrible days. I think a lot of times those days relate to the feeling of "I am not good enough" and so we just feel miserable. I had mentioned that the women of this world are way to hard on theirselves. We live in a world where we feel like we have to be as good, or better than other people.
After I got off the phone, I started thinking about that. In this time, it is especially hard for women to feel confident about themselves. We have to wear bikinis to be noticed, we have to be thin. We 'have' to do so many things to be good enough. But I realized tonight that's not true.
We may live in a world of those things, but we don't have to live for the world. I don't want to live for the world. In fact, I am not going to.
I want to live for God.

My new food obsession
So recently I have been loving the taste of cake. But I have been eating it in other ways than cake form. I have eaten cake pancakes, and recently made a cake smoothie. It is so good!
The pancakes are pretty much a regular pancake, you just switch some of the flour for cake mix of your choice. I have been doing funfetti.
For the smoothie you can do it two different ways. If you make it with icecream, put the amount of smoothie you want in ice cream, plus half of that again (trust me, it comes out less). then you pour milk so it's about half of the icecream. Add some cake mix, 1/2 a cup or more (to taste). Add a little vanilla. Blend. You can make adjustments, like more milk or cake mix.
If you use ice cubes, do 1 1/4 of what you want with ice cubes. Add milk about 3/4 of what you have ice. Add cake mix, vanilla and a little sugar. Granulated or powdered sugar works well. Blend, and make adjustments.
Honestly I would suggest trying this. It is super good!

Beauty
I don't know if you have ever read the Twilight series, but at one point Bella says that she sees things like she has never seen them before.
For me, I would try to imagine it, or even wish I knew what it was like. Today, something similar happened.
Everyday I walk home from school. Its a mile and a half walk, and today it was incredible. I looked at things more than I usually do. By that I mean I looked closer at them. Like a tree. I looked at it and thought "wow that is incredible!" because has bark on it. Have you ever looked at bark? I mean really looked at it? Everything I saw today was beautiful. I was surrounded by beauty! Even ugly buildings, or the fact that I was in the middle of a city, was incredible.
I don't know what gave me this change of 'sight' but it was sure incredible.

This Weekend
This weekend I had a sleepover with my friend. We were going to watch a chick flick, but couldn't find one we wanted to watch. Just for fun, we looked in the children's category. (This friend and I are obsessed with Lord of The Rings) We saw Veggie Tales: Lord of The Beans. And Freaked out. We Decided to watch that.
Now, This movie is a childrens movie, so you you would expect us to think it is stupid. But it was the complete opposite. We almost died laughing. In the first part, the intro to the movie, we laughed for ten minutes at least. And that whole ten minutes we couldn't breathe. This movie, is my new favorite. It was so funny.
I would highly suggest wasting 51 minutes of your life by watching this movie.

My new story
So I decided to write a new story. Mostly because I had the greatest idea.
For this story I need some animals. I plan on creating them, but I wanted some ideas, so I have been researching. I typed "how to create an imaginary" in google and it came up with friend, world, land, and boyfriend. I thought this was hilarious...
