I am dog sitting!!!!

I am sitting right now in my friends house watching her dog! It is not to bad! I'm having fun! But as I sit here i thought i would say hello! I was going to sit down and start talking about something deep and meaningful. Well I really do not remember what I was going to say :p so I had to deal with should I just not write anything or should I? Even if I do type something it is not going to be meaningful. Oh well.. I am now able I posted something on complete NOTHING!!!!!!! I have no idea why i find this soooo amazing! Oh well I am going now!!
My challenge today is to have fun and have a great amazing weekend!!!!!
Love and blessings

Have you lost your voice?

Before I start may I just say WOW!!!! Two times in one day that has got to be like ground breaking for me!!!
Anyway I have started to notice some stuff as of late. Where have the Christin's voices gone? I mean really, come on, where is our boldness why are we not standing up for the little people? Why have we sub come to gossip? We now even partake in it! It has become horrifying to me!!! Christian's seem to have lost their voices!!
I am even guilty of it! But today i am making a promise to myself...I am going to use my voice! I'm going to use my vocal cords, those lovely, weird looking (yes i have seen mine and well they were not what I thought they would look like) things that i have and start talking!!! Enough is enough! Start standing up for what you believe in! Be bold!!! Bold as a lioness protecting her cubs!!!! I'm pretty sure that may be as bold as you can get!
When you see something that is going on that you don't approve of say something!!
My lovely English teacher told a story today in class. She told of how one day after leaving school she saw a fight going on. Many people where there encircling the group of kids who had knocked one boy over and they were kicking him. Other adults were there just watching as the fight go on. But my teacher said she could not just stand around doing nothing! She got out of the car and was yelling at the people to stop, she even called the cops. My point is that if one lady who is not a Christian has enough boldness to go and try to help a boy who is being kicked on the ground what would it have been like if it had been a Christian. My teacher shows an amazing example of using your voice!!!!
(PS never ever ever try and stop a fight like that!!! It is unsafe and the outcome could have been a lot worse for her!! Call the cops and let them take care of it)
Anyway my challenge for you is simple. Start using you voice, dust off your vocal cords and let your voice ring out!!!!

My Bucket List

I recently watched a movie called The Bucket List. The movie was rather sad and it made me cry :( It had a totally different ending then i ever would have guessed. Anyway the main part of the movie is two older men who are dieing try and complete a list of things before they die. The list contained things that were important to them, like jumping out of an airplane or driving an old car.
The thing that really bugged me the most about this movie was that they waited till the end of their lives to fill out there bucket list. Anyway I was thinking about making my own bucket list...and I'm going to. I have a friend who started one of her own and i believe i am going to myself. A long time a go I had a little list of things i wanted to do before i died...I have no idea where it is now. But my new and improved list I cant misplace...and I will be totally 100% set on finishing it if its out in the open. My plan, I'm putting it on my blog!
So from now on when i think of something to do I will put it right here! :) When i accomplish a task I will write about it and put it right here.
my bucket list:
  1. To truly help someone.
  2. Go skydiving
  3. Dive off a diving broad
  4. Eat squid
  5. Eat eel
  6. Eat octopus (there is a difference between squid and octopus right)
  7. Eat sushi (with raw fish)
  8. Travel the world
  9. To read the whole Bible (not rushing, taking my time)
  10. Go a day without my cell phone
  11. Tell the people in my life who mean the world to me that they really do mean the world to me
  12. Make a difference
  13. Save a life
  14. Stay up for 24 hours
  15. To love and never worry about getting hurt
  16. To see a changed world
  17. Learn a new language besides Spanish...like French! Or Chinese!
  18. Go to collage
  19. Go a full week with no make up!
  20. Be the change I want to see
  21. To write on my blog at least one time a week
  22. Do something the complete opposite of my normal self
  23. Do something adventurous and daring
For now I think that is all I have. As I think of more I will put it on my blog. :) If you have any ideas to add to my list let me know! And if I know you (hehe most likely do! :D) or even if I do not, and you think that I have completed a task on here let me know!!

P.S. I have eaten raw sushi before with fish in it but when I started thinking of this and putting stuff down i had not so I still put it on! It was good! Not all fish eggs and octopus eyes like my cousin said it was when I was little!

My challenge for you is to try something new and adventurous! Have fun doing it! Maybe even make  you own bucket list for others to see, read and enjoy!!!
Love and Blessings

Its is still here!

MY BLOG IS STILL HERE!!!!!!!!!! I was so not happy when i was unable to get to my blog awhile back but its here now and i am on it!!!!! Woohoo!
But it made me think of some stuff, thinking my blog was gone...
Have you ever had a person in your life, they really ment  lot or they maybe didn't, and they slipped out of your life? That is always painful. I have had it happen to me a few times and it is never fun.
What happens when randomly one day you think about that person and you want to talk to them. No one ever truly replaces the person who is no longer in your life.
I know for me when that happens I just hold it in. no one ever gets to hear about it. It just stays inside till the now not so important topic goes away.
My challange is that you try and really reconnect with a person who has fallen out of your life. Let them know you miss them and try talking with them...like you use to. Im sure there will be plenty to talk about!!!!
Love always and blessings
