A Night in the Hospital and 23 Staples Later...

My sister Kimmy had realignment surgery on her knee yesterday. I asked in my last blog post that you all keep her in your prayers.

The power of prayer is phenomenal to me! Although she had to stay overnight last night, she came home today and I'm happy with how well she's doing already. She had a lot of support yesterday. So I wanna say, thank you very much! Everything seems to be turning out really well.

Yesterday I also tried something new.

My friend Josh and I were getting Taco Bell while Kimmy was in surgery, and he kept talking about deep fried oreos. At first I didn't think it was all that appealing; maybe it was because I never had them before. But we found a restaurant that served deep fried oreos and Josh ended up buying some through takeout. Turns out that they are really good! LOL! =D

See? I can be bold and try new things. =P

Well, all I ask is if you keep praying for my sister that her recovery will go by really fast. I wanted to make this post a little shorter to update on what's going on.

Peace.Love.Happiness.Smiles.

Contemplation

Can I admit that I haven't been having the best start for 2011?

The new year started out with confusion and frustration for me. As much as I like to keep things optimistic, I also keep in mind that sometimes optimists can have it's rainy days.

It's not that I wanted to start 2011 with a bad start. It's just the way it happened.

Thoughout the 10 days so far, I took on many challenges and made many decisions; one was to stop cheerleading. Let me be honest here; cheerleading was something I didn't really want to do as much. It was basically me trying something new in hopes that maybe I would actually enjoy it. But those things don't work out that way. It soon came to the point where I was bored with it. Why do something that is just a waste of my time and make me bored? With me, it doesn't work that well.

Along with making the decision of giving up cheerleading, there have also been the struggles with finding my true friends. This has definitely been something I have been working on for a few months and feel like I'm not quite getting anywhere. It's not that I don't have friends; it's the whole confusion of whether they really accept me for who I am.

Aside from that, my grades are good, my family is awesome, and God is leading me to a great future right now. I just got to focus on what's important right now and God will do the rest. I'm excited for what He has in store for me.

Oh, before I go, my sister Kimmy is going into surgery for her knee on Thursday. Please keep her in your prayers.

Peace.Love.Happiness.Smiles.
