Sunshine

The sun came out today for the first time in almost a month! Ahh it felt so good. My sister-in-law brought her baby to our house today and we went on a huge hike. The whole time I was carrying the baby in the Moby (a sling.) It was precious. This last week has been insane! So much has happened... is going to happen. Most of it is good stuff like going to a resort with my church, helping my awesome friend out with feeding the homeless, but not all of it is good. I found out some things that are probably going to be really tough in the future. Thank God for friends who you know you can trust and are going to be there for you no matter what.
Sometimes I feel like all I need is friends and water to survive. Friends are a very important thing in every ones' lives. No matter who you are we all need bffs. My mom always tells me "if you want a friend, you got to be a friend" which is hard for me because I'm not exactly the social butterfly of the party. But people love it when you talk to them first. And you never know, just because of the simple "hi, my name's ---" you could be their life saver or they could even end up being yours. So if you know someone you really would like to be friends with but you're a little shy, just put it aside and take the chance. That chance could be the best risk you've ever taken. AND of course always remember... You are loved in so many ways you could say "no I'm not infinity" and still loose.

(I haven't posted in so long:0 Like I said though... it's been crazy. And you can see this picture at my deviantart along with many others.)

Shoes

Sorry I haven't posted anything in so long! But I'll pick up on it soon. Anything you want to know about me just post in a comment:]

So I found this coffee house where I live called The Crossroads and it's so awesome. It's like a teen hang out open at nights with live music and really good coffee. But the amazing thing about it is the people who run it. They're people who want a place where kids can come and feel accepted just for who they are. No matter how much metal is in your face, how many tattoos you have, what you wear, or what you think they're just going to love you no matter what. Only payment is a hug when you get there and when you leave.
You know it's really amazing when people can love someone no matter who they are. That's what Jesus did. Teens and kids are so ignored now. A lot of times parents just can't wait to drop them off at school or someonelses house. But it's the churches that are really bad. The church is supposed to love people, but most of the time they won't allow someone in church just because of what they look like. It's not ofton you see pierced/tattooed kids in church. I bet if they were allowed and accepted they would go. But the church is so in their own little bubble. Why do people get offended by what others wear or think? Jesus chose a tax collector (scum of society back then) to keep company with. Why shouldn't we do the same? Everyone is a person in need of love and acceptance no matter what they say, wear, or do. But the church doesn't want to realize that. A lot of "Christians" pretend to be higher than everyone else. But don't let those people distort your picture of Jesus. That's not what He's like at all. He went from being God to being a poor man for your sake. He's not like those "Christians" who think they are so righteous. No He's loving and caring to every person in the world. And He loves you more than anything<3


And these are just shoes I wish I had btw:
watermelons

waffle shoes

bummble bees:]

This is a homework assignment I had for photography. It's a self portrait. I put the outfit together copying sort of like a gothic lolita look. The hat came from For Love 21 ($8), the sleeves from Hot Topic (my friend gave them to me), and the dress I found for $7 at the local Goodwill. I love putting looks together like this and photographing them. Oh and the makeup (all though you can't really see it) was in gunmetal colors with smokey black eyeliner and long black lashes from Wet Seal.




As of today I'm sick with a sore throat and a headache:/ So the last few days have been spent in bed for me. I've also added a gadget to my blog so you can tweet or facebook it if you think it's good:]
You are loved!

Let Life Be Lived

I had a deep conversation with my bff the other night. We talked about so many things, but there's one thing I would like to share. Babies are being killed by the thousands. Check out this graph:

As you can see the percentages are steadily rising. Why? This is one of many reasons I came up with... Celebrities promote out-of-wedlock intimacy. It's just the "thing" to do now. It's totally hot, sexy, and... well... normal. Everybody does it. We all know how much celebs influence people. Young girls especially. Everybody wants to fit in and be normal. So they do whatever their "idols" do. This sexual influence clearly results in babies. Precious babies that are unwanted. Babies that are killed out of the shame of their mother. Those very babies who are being killed are no "accidents." What do people think happens when they have sexual encounters? It's just nature, not accident. Those babies are not accidents. They have lives with purpose. They have friends, talents, and a lover already planned out for them. But their chance at life gets destroyed because of the shame and guilt in this world. What would-be-mothers don't realize is that they do not have to carry that shame. They can live without guilt while watching their baby(s) grow. Even if people reject them because of their mistakes doesn't mean they aren't loved and forgiven. All the forgiveness they need is right before them. They just have to accept it and move on with their baby regardless of what others might say. Those mothers are not alone. They never will be. Help them see that they can forget their shame and and enjoy the baby they were given.
One more thing... I also thought that at least a good percent of babies that are killed are babies resulting of a rape. I think not....

Works of Mine

Frozen Up

This was a blossom about to bloom when it got all frozen over. This is also a picture I took yesterday:]
So many people get so frozen up and never live the life they were meant to live. Whether it's because of their surroundings, the people in their life, or just the things they entertain themselves with (movies, music, and magazines effect people in ways they may never know.) It's like little people are born and they're like little buds getting ready to bloom over the years. But then something happens right before they blossom. Someone close suddenly dies, something very important to them is stolen, people they loved desert them, or their boyfriend/girlfriend break their heart. It's like an unexpected ice storm settling over them and freezing them up. They don't ever want to get hurt like that again so they put protective cases around them thinking it's really going to protect them when really it's just hindering all their possibilities and shutting out all the others that really wanted to love them but couldn't. The frozen up people really do want to live again but they can't unfreeze themselves. They need a sunshine. They need someone to look through all the ice surrounding their hearts and just love them no matter what. Unconditional love. Maybe those frozen people you know are still frozen because they have no one that will love them until they melt. Maybe that's all that's keeping them iced up. Maybe if you just loved them and let them know you love them they will melt instantly. Or sometimes you just have to love them for years before they finally melt. Our main purpose in life is to love and to be loved. Love with all your heart and you'll find people will begin to love you back with all THEIR hearts. And love others with all their hearts. But someone has to be that first sunshine. YOU and I and EVERYONE needs to love no matter what. That is what life is all about. And sometimes it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

YOU are loved in more way than you know! Because whether you believe it or not Jesus still loves you unconditionally<3
