camp.

camp. was. awesome!! but then again isn't it always. Well at least to me it is.

i am at that moment where you come home from camp and your like "i'm gonna read my bible everyday!" HA HA yeah i can go ahead and say that's probably not gonna last. but i can promise that it did have an impact on me.

my true goals are to
1. pray more
2. read bible more (not necessarily everyday)
3. find out what God wants me to do with my life

friends.

friends are like pee pee pants everyone can see it but only you can feel it.

Friend: someone who is always there for you no matter what they put up with your Crap even though they shouldn't somebody you can act dumb with and they still love you your not embarrassed to be with them or them with you. -- Heather J

but what are friends exactly? the people you hang with?
personally i think friends are the ones you can share what's going on in your life. the people who you can count on to be there for you no matter the circumstances. someone you trust someone you tell things too.


well that's all i've got on friends. so peace out and be safe - stevie

forward motion

Forward Motion lyrics
Songwriters: Augustine, Steve; Bruyere, Joel; Mcnevan, Trevor;

Let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

If we sort this out
Would we know how to live like we were different?
I know we've both had some doubts
Whether things would come around and look at us now

I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life

But let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

Let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

I never thought we'd doubt whether this world would come around
And work itself out
But it's more than a sound when it moves everyone around
Are you ready now?

And I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life

But let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

Let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

I won't be afraid, your hands they cover me
It's so worth it
I can't let it fade my hands are high and raised
'Cause it's worth it

And I'm not trying to tell you, I'm not trying to tell you
And I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life

But let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

Let's keep it moving in a forward motion
If we can hold on we can cross this ocean
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions
Get in the way until the door keeps closin'

i love you.

Today a friend of mine told me that i never say "I love you" and of course she is right i don't. i have trouble saying those three, tiny words. I can't figure out why and it's driving me nuts. because their are a load of people i could say that i love. but to say it in front of them. the words just won't come out. ugh.

the other day someone told me they loved me and i went and pulled a Han Solo i said "i know". you can't see me but i'm shaking my head in disbelief. I can't believe i said that. well yes i can it's so me! haha. but still. the thought that i couldn't return the affection hurt me and i'm sure them.

what worries me is i can't even TEXT it!!! one time i said "i luv u" but i'm not sure that really counts anyway. ugh. one thing i can say is i can tell my family that i love them!! yay me!!

i think i'm gonna make a real effort to start saying the three, tiny, scary, but meaningful words. ... but of course in baby steps.. so anyone reading this don't except me to run up and tell everyone that i love you. or them! whatever.

or perhaps maybe the words i love you aren't the only way to tell someone that you, well, love them. hugs, kisses, laughing together, smiles, eating together, and well just plain spending time with people are all great ways to SHOW someone that you care without verbally expressing the way you feel towards someone. although i do think both are important.

so to close i am going to try and use words like i love you more and to not just show my love through everyday acts. which of course it is still important to use the everyday acts of kindness and love.
