>Inspire someone-I wanna say something encourageing or just make a post where somone is touched by it!

Hey there!
Ok so that's it. Short right?
I just wanna continue to write because that's something i love to do, starting this Blog may be the best thing i've ever done. Reading what others have to say has inspired me to go out and reach for the things i want the most! "Nobody can tell me the sky's the limit when there are foot prints on the moon!" and this is how i feel!

Out and about!

Christmas break; Already i have done just what i enjoy hang out with friends and sleeping in! Doesn't get much better, well in the summer we have the opportunity of going to the beach lol which is in a 30 mile radius of my house! Ok so Florida is doing us well it's still freezing but we aren't waist deep in snow so that allows us to go out! Me and my Best friend Tara spent the morning and afternoon being a tad bit lazy around the house.

As you can tell, We just had loads of fun!
Then Later in the day i made plans to go on a nature trail at the local state park with a very close friend of mine who lives in the town of AuburnDale she comes down to visit my youth group and from that we developed a close friendship! So here are pictures from our Adventure.

Trees in Florida are Gorgeouss!

The actual Trail :p

She was trying to focus on an ant with her teeny camera.
The Lake!


Me sitting on the Dock, by the Lake.

So i am having an amazing time with my friends. There will be more adventures god has in store for me, no doubt!

Live it up. (Please, and Thank you)

In Florida isn't it supposed to be the "Sunshine State"?

I haven't seen the hott sun in days, it makes me so sad. I say i wanna leave but i'm absolutely positive i would miss it! But today in our cold sunny state me and a close friend went out and had some fun in her awesome blue car! I only caught a few photo's so here they are!

We started our day with pictures in a photo booth!

We went to the Movies! Watched "Life as We know it" with Katherine Heigl.. AMAZING

Though we went to Panama City, to go shopping we came back with only few items, me with my cute shirts from my favorite store Charlotte Rouse, and new Ugg Boots, While Halley got Jeans from Aero and a cute top from Wetseal. Now we're in my room eating Junk food and drinking some welch's sparkling:) Life doesn't get much better at 16!

What i would give to believe in Santa.

It's Christmas in my house today and the opening of presents left by "Santa" started at 7:00a.m! Could you just imagine how upset a Teenager would be that on her break she has to get up so earlyy?? Needless to say i was not a happy camper! Exhausted as i was with all four of my siblings pulling at my covers to wake me i finally got up and walked into the living room, after only a few minutes from one end to the other my living room was covered with wrapping paper! I was so tired i didnt even have time to admire my gifts! I went straight back to bed after unwrapping presents and then slept as long as my parents allowed me too! Once i was fully awake i started messing around with my new electronic, and gifts. Thinking god truely has blessed me today! I didnt even realize how happy my Brothers and Sisters were! They had worked really hard to be good recently because they knew Santa was watching! Oh what i would give to be Nine Years old again just so i could believe in Santa!
MerryChristmas all!

Oh Look Taylor Posted something!

The Holiday season is here and i finally have this break i've been dieing for! Im sure My youth pastors wife is just estactic that i'm actually makeing a post. Being a teen is soo not easy, I don't care what anyone has to say. When everyone was settting up there trees and going christmas shopping i was stuck at school preparing myself for the wonderful world of exams, oh joy! Dont you remember those pesky little parts of life? I have yet to "understand" them. On top of exams there were book reprts and research papers do. Could they make it any easier? So now, i have a new laptop as an early christmas gift, i plan to use this invention for my blog so i can keep it updated, if not daily but maybe weekly. Things are going oh so well for me, besides the little fright of my Grandmother being in the hospital (Keep her in your prayers) she seems to be ok, but knowing she has people pray for her will help her through the night. Well this is really all i can say for now, goodnight all. I will return. Pinky promise.

Wednesday:See you at the pole day it is our theme day because our float theme is Disney movies! I'm so excited to see the costumes, I'm going to be snow white it's a very creative outfit if i say so myself!
Thursday: Is Celebrity day, ya see we have this day almost every year I'm almost running outta ideas here :p But what i have planned will be a surprise to many! I'll also be stopping by my pastors house for some pancakes with my unknown identity! Hahaha We also have a cross country meet in Psj This night. Wish us luck!
Friday!: Now this is it SPIRIT day! This is the last day of our homecoming week it seems like it went by so fast! We'll be dressing up in our school colors ready for our team to play another local team, and hopefully win! There will also be a parade and a ceremony before the game for the crowning of our homecoming King and Queen!
So, this is my hectic week! It's loads of fun, and ill remember it forever. Pictures will be up when it's finally over, I'm lucky i could update you guys even just a little bit.

Oh my!

Busy,Busy,Busy! I have to admit it's a sad day when you wear your shirt that says "I'm busy read my blog" but you're actually too busy to update your blog! I might admit i have overwhelmed myself with things to do, and the promises i've made. Ok so i promise you guys a good update!

Lately i've been swamped with things like, I am Vice president of my highschools Florida christian Athletes, Historian for S.W.A.T (Students working against tobacco), Sga Representative, Cc Runner, Assistant Cheerleading coach for the teeny mites, Guitar player in my youth worship band. Still i have to keep my grades up and like every teenager i have chores!
It's extremely hard to balance these things but i'm doing it with god and not by myself!!
I realized this is something you have to know! You can't go against this world alone it's truely a battle field and everyday i'm carrying my bible everywhere i go, It's a challenge i found and introduced to my youth group! It's inspireing to me, to know i have the shield of righteousness with me everywhere i go, and after i read it good enough i will have it with me in my heart still, god has supplied us with the right stuff we just have to use it the right way.
Everything was so much easier this summer, i will finally rest again. Promise.

Relationship status.

On facebook you can be Single, In a relationship, engaged, married, or "It's complicated" You see my pastor preached not too long ago about showing your relationship with god and it got me thinking, do i show that im "In a relatioonship" with him? Oh but believe me it took me long enough because i've written this blog and shown everyone who is interested who my number one is. Now this blog most def has a twist, i am a young teenage girl in a small town where at times you can feel so alone, finding a guy is extremely hard because there are so many guys that are wrong for me and that might not accept my boundries, my goals. And im young so i have dreams and i felt lost sometimes. I thought i dont need a boyfriend, i need a Best friend. This summer i started off with a boyfriend, at the forward conference i realized i didn't need to make any commitments because my new relationship with god had just begun, so we ended it. We became pretty much best friends, he was my goodmorning text and goodnight call everyday, i told him pretty everything i went through and he was my best friend, (sorry Tara) . Eventually i came to realize that my heart was right where it needed to be and i knew he could accept my boundries and beliefs. He has also gotten closer to god and it warms my heart. So i've changed my relationship status and leaving it in gods hands now, and i ask for him to lead us with strong hands into the right direction.

Happy fourth weekend!

So, Let me start with saying Happy 4th of July to all, I hope everyone enjoys fun in the sun and sparks literally flyiing all around! So my fourth of July weekend has been better than i expected though my summer started off rocky im glad to say god has changed it in many amazing ways. So now i will tell you just how my weekend started off! Saturday morning my youth group decided to have a mega slippin slide get together! It sounds great rigiht? Oh it was and now i have bruises to prove i had fun! Then last night a few of us gathered at a members house to watch the fireworks from our small town gathering at a park called Tl James. Now today my family plus my best friend Tara are going to the beach to watch fireworks from three different locations in one place. Talk about an amazing weekend. Here are a few pictures to prove my fun!

All and all this weekend has been something i can look back on and have not one regret. God has given me an amazing group of friends and an amazing family. Roman 22 states "This righteousness from god comes through faith in jesus christ to all who believe."
