Concerts and Stuff

"One of the poets, whose name I cannot recall, has a passage, which I am at this moment unable to remember, in one of his works, which for the time being has slipped my mind, which hits off admirably this age old situation." -P.G. Wodehouse
That's about how I feel about the quote I am looking for right now... It was something like "In times like these, one has only oneself to..." and then it ends, and my mind is singing opera and laughing hysterically whenever I ask it anything serious. So much for sense. 

We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz! (Well, actually, we're off to see Texas, but wherein lies the flaw in this minor difference of word choice?) This has been a pretty crazy week(month, really, since I haven't posted) because we are all doing school, there events such as soccer, running, prom planning meetings, and piano, and mom is trying to finish up two weeks of school so that next week we can pack. Along with that, our anticipated car travel time in the next few days is eleven hours, and we need to pack. I am super busy! 

I went to an awesome concert on Sunday with my youth group, probably better than any other I've been to. The bands that were playing were Zach Williams, Natalie Grant, Social Club Misfits, For King and Country, Bethel Music, and Matthew West.
 In my opinion the most beautiful one was Natalie Grant, the coolest one was For King and Country, and the funniest one was Matthew West. Social Club Misfits are actually Christian Rappers, which was something that I wasn't used to, but it was really fun to hear them. Bethel Music was classic, and Zach William's songs were really fun. Anyhow, we got back at 1 am in the morning, and I haven't caught up on sleep since, what with Daylight Savings Time coming simultaneously. 

Enough about the concert though. In writing class, we get to write a five paragraph essay about any historical thing that we want. I am thinking of doing it on the Ghettos in Czechoslovakia during WW2,  and the Danes who were sent there. I am pretty excited about that!

Spring is finally here! I rebelled a few days ago from this cold weather and went out with a short sleeved shirt on and sandals at around 9 am in the morning to Anwyn's house. I'm not necessarily wishing to use this as an "It's all in your head" argument, but I assumed it was like 70* F, and I didn't feel cold. When I got there, I checked my computer, and it turns out that it was around 36*. Hmm. Anyhow, who knows.  All I know is that it didn't feel that cold. 

If anyone hasn't heard of them, check out Studio C. They are what's getting me by these days. A few good laughs makes the world go round. Here is one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQiGp618Zp8 

 I should write more, but I want my next post to be about Texas, which is where I am right now. Anyhow, so long.

A Posture of Surrender

 " All to Jesus, I surrender //  All to Thee I freely give //  I will ever love and trust You //  In Your presence daily live" - Don Moen Every day in recent months my prayer to God has consistently included these words, "God, I surrender everything to you. I surrender the people I love, the relationships I have, the stress I feel about my responsibilities, the unknown future before me, negative memories from the past, my life, and all my devotion to You. Use me for your glory and purpose and take away from me what is not my best. I come before you with open hands, eager to lay it all at your feet, and trusting you to give me the things you know that I need." This process of continual surrender has helped me to always remember that every good thing is a gift from God, as it says in James 1:17, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."

"Every night I lie in bed  The brightest colors fill my head  A million dreams are keeping me awake I think of what the world could be A vision of the one I see  A million dreams is all it's gonna take  A million dreams for the world we're gonna make." -The Greatest Showman  Sitting on the porch at twilight, the summer wind wafting through the trees, and the last rays of deep sun silhouetting the trees, I write. I'm rather tired, to be honest. My kitten is demanding my attention, and I can't seem to find a comfortable position for writing this. There. Pride and Prejudice piano airs are smoothing my nerves.  Last week I went on a Mission Trip to the Native American Reservation up in Okanogan and we did a "VBS" for the kids up there. It was my third year doing that. Every year there are new things that happen while I'm there, and I learn a lot.  So much has gone on in our family that I barely know where to begin. I would rathe

Coffee and Summer

"The noblest art is that of making people happy." - P. T. Barnum A lot has been going on recently. School is almost over, and all of my stressful/exciting events have already happened. It was a hurricane last week, and this week it is only a misty breeze(well, except that it's like a thousand degrees outside). I joined a choir called Encore, and that has been great. We sang songs from The Greatest Showman, which I LOVE, Dear Evan Hansen, and a medley of Irving Berlin's songs as well. It was really neat to be a part of show choir because there was just so many talented people that we had an amazing time just singing and dancing. I will never forget it! School is all done except for Chemistry, which I am still finishing up, and I look forward to a full summer of excitement. It's hard to believe, but it has almost been a whole year since I started this blog! One of the five years down, four to go! Hooray! Plus, when I am sixteen, I will have my driver's lic
