WHOA!

Today I thought it was Wednesday.
I will admit, it was pretty weird, because Mondays are my late-start days for school, so we start at 9:30 instead of 8:30 in the mornings. So I woke up wondering why my alarm clock said it was 8:35 am.
Then I realized that it was, in fact, a Monday and I woke up on time. =P

What an interesting way to start off the week, huh?

During my PE class, I wrote a poem.
This poem wasn't really a happy poem either.
You know when you have those times when you just don't feel happy, and instead of letting it out on someone, you write it down? Yeah, I had that today, so it was pretty depressing.
I get home from school and read it over again. And at that time I was feeling much better, changed a bit of it, and made it not-so-depressing. About 10 minutes after that, it turned into a song.

So, I guess I didn't write a poem today after all. LOL.

Last week I brought my ukulele and guitar to school to work on songs and play a bit.
I planned on bringing them home today, and I ended up forgetting them in my 6th period english class. So now they're probably sitting there in the classroom...

Kimmy just came home from practice, and now I gotta make spaghetti.

I have an idea for a blog topic I wanna do. I'll probably go over some Scripture tonight and start writing it. I love to write. But I bet you already knew that. =D

Hope everyone is having a good Monday.

Peace.Love.Happiness.Smiles

Are You Feeling Blue?

Here's a question: Have you ever had one of those days when you did something completely stupid?

I'm sure everyone has. (if not, think again..)

Another question: Have you ever spent hours, or days, or even months thinking about that stupid thing you did? Thinking about what you could've done in the past, or beating yourself (not literally) about it and it makes you feel pretty down?

Being a teenager in modern society we live in today, I can definitely understand how that feels. I've been through my ups and downs in life.

Sometimes we do spend a lot of time thinking about that dumb mistake that should've never happened. But what can we do about it? We can't just go back in time in some time machine and fix it, or prevent it from happening. Because really; Stick to reality, that's impossible. Once it's over, it's over; you can't turn back.

But what can we do to move on?

During your lifetime (including mine), we are all gonna make mistakes. There is no way to prevent that; it is our human nature to make mistakes and learn from them. What would we be like if there were no mistakes made? We wouldn't learn anything... we would be living our lives the same exact way, every single day.. is that what we want? To live like robots our lives? I sure wouldn't!

A lot of people that I knew (and reading on the Internet), would say, "Why would God cause me to be so sad?" or "If God was real, he wouldn't let me be this depressed."

Now, if I remember right, God doesn't want us to be sad or depressed, but to live happily on this place He created for us. God would never cause us to be sad, depressed, or pessimistic in any way. So really, isn't it your own actions that cause you to be feeling down?

In Matthew 5:12, it says "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

So back to the question, What can we do to move on?

Whenever you contemplate on whatever is bothering you, remember this: God wants you to be happy and live joyously; why be so depressed? Whatever it is, it's all in the past, and every minute that you're worrying about it is one minute that you're losing to make your life better. You can't change the past, so take what you learned from it and use it as a tool to make your life, and maybe someone else's life, better.

God has so much in store for you and me. Continue to pray and follow God, and he will bring greatness into your life.

Peace.Love.Happiness.Smiles
