For Those Who Don't Have Jean Jackets

Went to Kray Kray's house and played 

with a cutie hamster name Ginny, or 

Jinny, or maybe... Jimmy!

           I haven't really written a post about what is going on in my life right now. Well, it is now spring break and I have been extremely busy going from one retreat to the next. The first retreat I went to was in New Jersey with my church. I thought I wasn't going to have a lot of fun (sorry) but at the end I enjoyed it a lot. We played fun games (which I couldn't provide): The second retreat was with another church that had a very large youth group. I had a good time there in Pennsylvania. We learned about how God is greater from the book of Jonah (veeery interesting). In fact, this was the first time I actually took retreats seriously or God seriously. That's kind of sad knowing my background but it makes sense at the same time. I took a lot of notes because knowing myself, I'm very forgetful.
           I guess what really stuck out to me during the sermon would probably be how God is so gracious. The pastor told us that salvation comes from the Lord even when we don't deserve it. I never really thought about salvation before this. When Jonah was about to run out of air under the deep sea he prayed to God. Therefore, the giant fish saved him. The important thing is that if you cling onto worthless things, you forfeit the grace and goodness of God. Look what happens when you actually pay attention to sermons... you actually learn! After the break I was thinking about joining track again just for the fun of it. Then I thought some more. If I'm moving to a different school why even start something I'm not going to finish? Plus, my "friends" there aren't so friendly once you left the team. I ain't going to live through that! (Sorry for the grammar). What about for the love of running? (you might ask.) Yes, I still love to run and trust me, I will get to run a lot next school year. Running to me is no longer on a tight schedule. It's something that won't eat up my life so I can have time for other things.
             Aside from that serious stuff, before I started writing this post I was really mad. For Easter my plan was to make a video displaying our sin and how Jesus died for it. I had this awesome idea going through me and I even wrote down a script. Of course this can't be done without two people so I asked Chubster to be in the video with me. It turns out she didn't feel like it so I got really mad, crumpled my script, and threw it out. Then I closed myself in my closet and started to get sad. Teens and their mixed emotions. I'm actually part of that category now D: As for Chubster... I will still never fully get that girl...

p.s. Did you know music these days have different meanings then you think?! I was listening to "Rock Me" by One Direction and thought it was really catchy. Not knowing what the song meant, I looked it up and lets just say, I'm never listening to One Direction for my entertainment again! Very suggestive song. Tisk Tisk
