"the burn"

So this past summer, i lifeguarded a little but mainly I did private swim lessons. When i was doing swim lessons this summer i got extremely sunburn, but only on the the part of my back that is right in the middle of my back...it was weird.

So, i couldn't get in the water for a really long time(like 2 weeks) because the chlorine was seriosuly eating my skin!(oh yes, yummy sounding....i know!)

I heard from the doctor, that this sumer will be crucial for my back....it could basicaly make or take me having skin cancer in my back when i am older.

SO here is a pic...that shows you my multi colored back!

Re-cap

*that pic is of me...accomplishing one of my 2008 goals....to go in the snow...build a snow man...IN MY SWIM SUIT!lol yeah one of those do only in the year 2008 goals...but it was still fun!*

So, the year of the "Great '08" is coming to and end. Should this bring joy, sadness, contentment, what?

Have i used this year wisely....have i lived the life that My God and Savior wants me to?

Here's the deal, in a sense, we live life here on earth from year to year. Every January 1st we make our new year resolutions which usually in tail weight lose, praying more, reading our Bible's more, and being nicer to people. But when you think about it we shouldn't give ourselves new goals. those things more importantly the spiritual things, and our attitude towards others should be never ending goals. Not something we work on in the year 2009, but not in 2010. We are called to be kind to others, take care of our bodies, and remain in a close relationship with God...we aren't given "years/months" off from doing those things. We are commanded to do it 24/7/365.

So think about it...and i would love to hear back from you.

1-what are some spiritual goals you have for yourself in the year 2009(to continue until....foreverness)

2-what are some just fun and random goals you have for the year 2009(that you only have to do this year.....cause that would be weird to do it until you are 99)

3-what are some things that you would like to see our world change in this up coming year 2009?

i know this is random....and probably doesn't make much sense.....but whatever!

Love,

"it started with a bang...and ended in a hang"

so you know how you can have those days where everything is going just amazing. You hit all the green lights, you don't spill milk down your chin in the morning during breakfast(which ruins your amazing make-up job that you did at 6:15am) and your hair looks amazing, the best it has since you started doing it yourself. So, as you know, the day is going great! then it happens, it happens to the best of us, but it ONLY happens to the best of us on OUR BEST DAYS!

So here's the deal, i was leaving my mom's school that she works at, getting ready to go to a class of mine. I stepped outside the school, and i am almost to my car in the parking lot, when i felt this odd thing on my head...at first i thought i was the cool wind, cause it was very windy, so i just carried on. Then as i was driving, i leaned my head against my hand....and WHAT DID IT FIND? BIRD POOP! BIRD POOP! BIRD POOP! Seriously, i was so mad....that a stupid bird would have the nerve to do that...on my head!

So, what to do. Being the very self respecting, high class person that i am(aha, if any of you knew me...you would be able to laugh at that), you knew that i couldn't just wipe it off my head and then go to class, this had to be taken care of more seriously.

SO, i headed over to lifetime...my gym and washed it all out. Well, i washed it out after the guy at the front desk was done announcing it over the INTERCOM that there was a lady in the building with bird poop on her head(and he said to stay clear). So, after i got it all washed out. I went over to class. I was late getting there to play soccer with my friend before hand ike we usually do. So i had to head right to class, and sit there with wet hair!

That day....well lets just put it this way: "it started with a bang, and ended in a hang!" Its OK, because you know, it gave me a great perspective on life..and how uptight we can get sometimes.......i mean come on, maybe all those people at the gym needed a laugh, or the people at class just needed the joy of calling someone poop head.....i don't know. I am probably thinking that it was to kick down my pride level a couple hundred notches. Whatever the case, it's life...so get used to it!

later my Friends!

I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. That means, NOTHING, i mean nothing is to big or to small for me to handle. This gave me encouragement,a nd it can give you some to, as you live your life....know that God is on your side through thick and thin!
