So you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Cracked a brick when you hit the wall
Yeah, you've had a pocket full of regrets
Pull you down faster than a sunset
Hey, it happens to us all
When the cold hard rain just won't quit
And you can't see your way out of it
You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable
Love, it can weather any storm
Bring you back to being born again
oh, it's a helping hand when you need it most
A lighthouse shinning on the coast
That never goes dim
When your heart is full of doubt
And you think that there's no way out
You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable
Like a river keeps on rolling
Like the north wind blowing
Don't it feel good knowing
Yeah
You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable
Love is unstoppable
So you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Love, love is unstoppable
Unstoppable: Rascal Flatts
Love is UNSTOPPABLE.
Remey.

Your Hands- JJ Heller
I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands
Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...
When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands
writing. longing for clarity. without Him.
im longing for clarity.
im longing for clarity on what's been going on in my mind lately, on what God is tyring to show me through this, and what im suppose to be doing. i feel helpless just sitting here. whoever said you are the only person who knows yourself the best was wrong. goodness. to think that there's a being out there, that loves me...that understands every single thought process that's going through my mind at 100mph+ right now...who understands the raging emotions that threaten to take over once again...who understands the indescribable pain and frustration.
who understands the masks i hide behind, and how i need to escape them before it's too late.
....
on a *slightly less dramatic yet way to real note...
im writing. something i love.
tonight im working on a huge portion of the perspectives class, a writing portion, about the future. it's overwhelming. it's crazy.
from becoming a photojournalist, to traveling, to going on mission trips, my list of things to do in my life has never been longer.
but as i write...i come to this conclusion:
"Whatever I do in the future, I give it to God. I realize that He may want to me to do something else with my life other than what I would like to do, but as a Christian, I need to sacrifice everything to Him-including my dreams and hopes for the future. In being fully devoted to Him, I need to be open and obedient to how He wants to use me. Wherever He calls me and whatever He wants me to do, I'll take up my cross and follow Him~ while giving Him the glory for everything I do along the way."
without God, i'd be nothing. without His never changing and never moving qualities, i'd be hopeless. without His love, i'd be nothing but a teenage girl with nothing, NOTHING, to live for.
without His love.
what a thought.
remey.

Press On. Waiting. Stand.
So, the more I think about it, I realize that I strongly believe that God has a purpose for everything. That's just how it is. Everything we say and do throughout our lives has a purpose and a reason and is apart of that "huge picture" that no one seems to see, but always mentions no matter what you're talking about relating your life.
But the more I think about it, the more I also wonder what my purpose is.
And I hit the huge realization that I may not know what my purpose is until I'm older. What God has in store for me.
Strike that. I already know what my life purpose is. To glorify my Father in everything I do, say, and think and to further His kingdom. Live for Him, and Him alone. Give 100% to him nonstop, everyday, 24hrs a day, 7 days a week.
You know how hard that is?
It's hard. Obviously.
It's very difficult to challenge yourself to break out of your usually motions, your sinful nature, your selfishness and to take a stand for selfLESSness.
Living as though it's God living through you, because He is! To press on to the goal, stand up after being sick of falling and afraid of what's to come...
1 Corinthians 16:20a- "You are not your own; you were bought at a price."
To live a life worth dying for? The ultimate price- life?
We already know that as sinners, it's virtually impossible for us to live up to such a standard. We know for a fact that just because we're Christians we will still continue to live in sin. We'll keep sinning- it's our nature to do so. But as Christians, we have an amazing assurance that we have the Holy Spirit living in us that is helping us to take a stand against selfishness and stand up for selfLESSness.
Everyday is a battle.
"Yeah, yeah, we get the whole selfLESSness." But what really is selflessness?
Good ol' Webster's definition of selfless is: "having little or no concern for oneself, especially with regard to fame, position, money, etc.; unselfish."
As opposed to selfishness, we see the word unselfish in the definition. Little or no concern for yourself...more for others, the way I see it.
Philippians 2:1-8
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!
This verse not only addresses selflessness and looking to others interests over your own, but also the sacrifice of Jesus making Himself nothing for us. The whole, "live a life worth dying for" thing.
Because your life was literally died for, you were bought at a price. You're not your own. Christ is living through you.
Back to purpose...(I really need to capture my trains of thought. Goodness.)
I guess the better way to say, "I wonder what my purpose is", is that "I really wonder what my life will become of." I often daydream about if I'll ever travel to Europe like I've always dreamed, or get married and start a family, or what high school and college will be like.
I'm at a weird part in my life. The part where I wish I could stay this age forever, but also half of me is itching to move on. See what God has in store for me.
It slightly resembles that feeling when you get on a roller coaster. Mine, anyways.
You're so excited for the ride, the next turn, the next drop... but you're also nervous about moving on. At times, you really want to stay high and mighty where you can look to your left and right over the land and be at peace. You feel big and strong, like you can do anything.
But...but for some reason, God may have in store for you to go down another drop to make you stronger for the next one. And the next one. And the next one.
As poor of an example as that is, it's true. Although you may wish to stay in the same spot, you know you have to move on. Sometimes instantaneously, and others times...not so much. And although sometimes you want to move and get out of the dark and low drops...there's nothing else to do than wait on God to see where He'll take you and when He'll move you. It's a hard concept to grasp, especially for me, when I love to see where I'm going and see what's going on.
It gives me comfort knowing that God is in control. That He knows what I'm feeling and what effects me, and that He'll never allow me to be tempted beyond what I can bear.
What else is there to do than press on in life and wait to see where God will take me? To stand up after I fall? Why spend more time on the ground when you're missing so much when you could be standing up and getting a day closer...
Pressing on towards high school, through changes that are totally out of my comfort zone, and test me in ways that I would've never imagined.
Somehow...somehow there's peace. Like I said, there's comfort knowing that God is who He is. That's what I hold on to. That's the greatest assurance I have in the world...that God will never change, or move, or leave me.
Waiting. Pressing on.
High school, here I come. 13 days.
Loves.

french silk icecream. 13 days. :)
once again, the weekends are beginning to go by way too fast and the days of the week are blending together into one large mess of tests and assignments and 4th quarter CHAOS.
not even exaggerating.
luckily, there are exactly 13 days of school left. goodness.
of course, this doesn't include the 2 night/3 day 8th grade class trip, graduation preparation(whole last 1/2 of school), labor day, or any other days we may have off for some unknown occasion.
so...roughly, 10 days.
wow. thats pretty much the word that sums it all up.
while i reminisce about whats going to become of me in the next 2 weeks.. aka, more change than i can possibly handle, my french silk ice cream seems to help.
plus, there's nothing like a couple hours of black ops to calm nervousness for the next month and relief from all this 4th quarter stress.
we'll see what happens. ill keep you posted on if i survive...the end of 8th grade? graduation? presentations? 8th grade trip? freshman hike?
all of the above, i suppose.
still waiting.
oh, and i have the greatest friends in the world. really. it's nights like these when i realize how totally blessed i am and how awesome you guys are...and unfortunately, how often im prone to take y'all for granted. sorry, darlins.
you guys are pretty cool. ;) stay beautiful.

what to do...
conflicting emotions are getting old and once again starting to take over.
you're constantly fighting to get through everyday.
"just breathe" becomes your motto.
you feel like no one will understand what's happening.
you feel like no one sees what's happening.
you're clinging to the one thing that you have left- and luckily, that thing will never move.
you're starting to get into the habit of hiding behind the masks you so earnestly cling to.
you fear the answers are staring you right in the face, but you feel as blind as ever.
i miss the people who i could and WOULD talk to about all this.

Jar of Hearts
As for the person that this song applies to, I wish I never fell for you in the first place.
"Sometimes dreaming is the only way out of what's going on around you."
"Someday I'll make a jar of hearts. I'll cut out paper hearts, write all my hopes, dreams and wishes on them, and see what happens..."
"Sometimes fantasy is better than reality."
Aint that the truth.
Converse= so much sharpie they could die. I'm pretty happy with them though... for reasons that I'll keep to myself.
"What's with all the writing on your shoes?"
Response at school?
"Uhh...I lost my shoes, and they got attacked by people with sharpies & great artistic skill..."
Ren, I miss you like WA misses the sun. That's pretty much all there is to it.
Loves.
Remey.

there's that sick feeling...
i never knew it would take that long for you to decide whether to tell me or not, or HOW to tell me, for that matter.
im sorry.
whenever your world crashes down, you know where to find me.
ill stand by you.
keep holding on.
...
you know that nervous-sick feeling i had for an entire week about a month ago due to...interesting circumstances? (IF i ever blogged about it. not sure.)
it's back.
and this time its due to worry/concern/etc.
when i love someone, and they're hurting, it hurts me. it's just how i am.

Update!
So, I kinda missed blogging. A lot.
I was off the internet(facebook, email, blog, the whole shabang) Sunday-Friday(very, VERY long story)...But the week without all those things showed me how blessed I am WITHOUT them. And how much I don't actually need them.
Anyways, so I guess I should give y'all who beg for it(cough...Ren...cough) an update on me because you never see me. Which is sad.
Anywho...
School. Blech.
I have several grades that I'm hoping to get up by the end of the quarter, because that would make me(and my parents)happy. Yeah. Another long story.
5 rehearsals left till "The Ever After- A Musicale."
Wow, those 3 months went fast!
For those of you who need a reminder, the play takes place in the MVCHS Commons at 6:30pm Monday the 16th. So, I'd love for you to be there. Very much. (:
And as for graduation...
June 9. 7pm. Set in stone(REALLY this time). ;)
And MS Spring Concert(my lovely choir I'm in)...
May 31st. Time? TBA.
Rehearsals are going well. Quite intense when we're not laughing our heads off, but it's good. Lord have mercy on our poor director who has to deal with 28 8th graders every afternoon for an hour. Goodness.
Perspectives...wow.
It's getting closer.
And I realized that I shouldn't worry about it as much as I am.
As one of my favorite quotes says...
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."Matthew 6:25-34
In essence...I'll cross that bridge when I get there(Abraham Lincoln. Yes, actually listening in History class has it's perks).
There's no use in worrying about something that's 4 weeks from now today.
Anyways...
Since my Dad's a board member/vice president of the school, he's in charge of being the board member that sits through a portion of our Perspective presentations.
Him being the person he is, he requested to have me pre-assigned on the day he was doing it so that he could watch his little girl be scared out of her wits. Lovely.
Not sure how I feel about that yet. It could make it easier, it could make it harder. Not sure yet.
But we started our boards!! :)
I went through about 10 of our precious photo albums and took out pictures of me 1-9 years old and then later on. Which shall(most likely) be posted sometime in the near future;)
Today in class we began painting them. I chose yellow...because it's pretty, one of my favorite colors, joyful, and the exact opposite emotion of what I'll be feeling as I stand in front of the board members and principal.
I'm hoping the color/feeling extends through the cardboard and onto my soon-to-be fast beating heart...so much for not worrying.
As for everything else...it's complicated. Very.
If I ever talk to you personally, you may or may not get more out of me.
Songs of the week(my favorite part of this...)?
Fearless- Taylor Swift
Hear You Me- Jimmy Eat World
Breakeven- The Script
Lessons Learned- Carrie Underwood

I was off the internet(facebook, email, blog, the whole shabang) Sunday-Friday(very, VERY long story)...But the week without all those things showed me how blessed I am WITHOUT them. And how much I don't actually need them.
Anyways, so I guess I should give y'all who beg for it(cough...Ren...cough) an update on me because you never see me. Which is sad.
Anywho...
School. Blech.
I have several grades that I'm hoping to get up by the end of the quarter, because that would make me(and my parents)happy. Yeah. Another long story.
5 rehearsals left till "The Ever After- A Musicale."
Wow, those 3 months went fast!
For those of you who need a reminder, the play takes place in the MVCHS Commons at 6:30pm Monday the 16th. So, I'd love for you to be there. Very much. (:
And as for graduation...
June 9. 7pm. Set in stone(REALLY this time). ;)
And MS Spring Concert(my lovely choir I'm in)...
May 31st. Time? TBA.
Rehearsals are going well. Quite intense when we're not laughing our heads off, but it's good. Lord have mercy on our poor director who has to deal with 28 8th graders every afternoon for an hour. Goodness.
Perspectives...wow.
It's getting closer.
And I realized that I shouldn't worry about it as much as I am.
As one of my favorite quotes says...
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."Matthew 6:25-34
In essence...I'll cross that bridge when I get there(Abraham Lincoln. Yes, actually listening in History class has it's perks).
There's no use in worrying about something that's 4 weeks from now today.
Anyways...
Since my Dad's a board member/vice president of the school, he's in charge of being the board member that sits through a portion of our Perspective presentations.
Him being the person he is, he requested to have me pre-assigned on the day he was doing it so that he could watch his little girl be scared out of her wits. Lovely.
Not sure how I feel about that yet. It could make it easier, it could make it harder. Not sure yet.
But we started our boards!! :)
I went through about 10 of our precious photo albums and took out pictures of me 1-9 years old and then later on. Which shall(most likely) be posted sometime in the near future;)
Today in class we began painting them. I chose yellow...because it's pretty, one of my favorite colors, joyful, and the exact opposite emotion of what I'll be feeling as I stand in front of the board members and principal.
I'm hoping the color/feeling extends through the cardboard and onto my soon-to-be fast beating heart...so much for not worrying.
As for everything else...it's complicated. Very.
If I ever talk to you personally, you may or may not get more out of me.
Songs of the week(my favorite part of this...)?
Fearless- Taylor Swift
Hear You Me- Jimmy Eat World
Breakeven- The Script
Lessons Learned- Carrie Underwood

I'm still alive, but I'm barely breathing
I'm hanging by a thread on what I'm supposed to do.
I'm fighting to feel Him, but I'm not.
I know I need Him.
"I'm still alive, but I'm barely breathing."
I'm sick of faking that I'm ok.
I'm...I'm not really sure what else to do at this point.
I know He's here.
