Zzzzz....
Wow. So I decided to be lame and tell you how I have to sleep O_o haha
Well for...(pictures below)
1. I am usually cold in my house, so I always sleep with my quilt I made in FAR.
2. My Pillow! That green pillow has been with me for...O_O who knows how long. But that pillow has gotten me through the sweetest dreams and the toughest tears.
3. Randal the half dead cat! Aha. So let me give you some info on this little buddy of mine.
Randal is an OWL. I love owls do much and he is the first stuffy I've ever gotten. I found Randal on a clearance shelf in "The Biggest Knife Store" down in Tennessee last August. I named him Randal after Adam Randal Young Aka: Owl City. (if your reading this you know I love him) I was so excited when I got him I took a picture and sent it to my friend Tonya. The response she had to my picture is one I was not expecting =} "what is that a half dead cat? O_o" of course she was only kidding but that is how he got his nickname.
I take Randal everywhere. (sleeping over wise) and one day, I left him! At Tonya's house (haha of course) but I think he liked staying with Goldie though. (Tonya's stuffed dog) course he missed me ;)
But....anywho
4. Charlie! The little brown horse who is my companion in time of need. I love to squeeze him tight (in my palm)
I got Charlie at my first Rodeo I preformed in when I was about 10. I bring Charlie on all my trips; which are mostly to N.H. xD but I do love his so!
5. The *squishy* pillow. yes. Squishy. Oh My Wally, that thing is like the most softest, squish of a pillow; I fell in love with it at first touch. I decided to just hug it while I slept...it's so squishy so I love it. <3
Oh and it entered my bed family like 2 days ago ;P
6. SOCKS! I *have* to sleep with socks on....a must. For some reason God decided to give me cold blooded feet. But I don't mind. I love socks....but personally I think socks love me.
(Christmas is coming and I love socks (; hehe)
So yep. There be the way I sleep. >.<
Wow I MUST be tired. I'm just so thankful to God that I have this nice warm bed to sleep in. Some people are out on streets and sleeping in trash/sticks/dirt somewhere; and it upsets me terribly. But I know someday I am going to help these kind of people. My life long ambition is to do missionary work. There's just so many needy out there.
God bless! Sweet dreams ;)

Bulling
I have been really putting thought into bullying.
Bulling is a harmful and useless thing that, bullies do. People who get bullied everyday (mostly as school) are so afraid of everyone and everything. They can't seem to stand up for themselves because the bullying just gets worse and worse as time goes on; and since they didn't stop it a long time ago, it get's harder harder to make it stop. Their life's go crazy and they don't know what to do with themselves. They often get angry and depressed. They never feel loved, wanted, good enough, pretty enough, cool, needed, the list goes on and on.
A lot of bulling is during the teen age years. Bulling can happen out of the blue, or could have been going on for years; but most teen victims of bulling usually turn to cutting, drugs or even suicide. And they need help, they need to know that it's okay, that things can get better and that turning to these things are not right; and on the flip-side, turning to Jesus is.
Also they need to forgive. One day, if the bulling is finally stopped, they should not hold a grudge on that Bully but rather forgive them. It can be a hard thing to do, but the bible say's we must forgive our enemies no matter what.
I'm so very thankful that I have many good friends that I can talk to if I ever did get bullied, but then again, it's not very likely I would; seeing I'm not surrounded everyday but pressuring teens.
See that's where Home School comes in. I'm surrounded by my loving family all day! And if I'm seriously having a bad day I can always talk to a family member or call a friend anytime :) (then go lazy around in my room and relax) lol xP But I'm just saying that I have time to cool down if I'm mad or depressed which is a huge benefit!
but I often wonder, if I did go to school, would I get bullied? I'm no good at sports, not pretty, no personality, you know...loser type. I think that I could easily become a victim of bulling if I did go to public school. and don't take this the wrong way, I don't use Home School as a hideaway/crutch, oh no! And I'm not scared of people either, ha, I love meeting new people and being in big crowds. So that's not the issue...
but! I know many awesome people that make Jesus the love of their life (as he is mine) which makes their/my perspective on life so much better. And So I always feel comfortable around them.
The Advantage? I can choose who I'm around! I can know my atmosphere and the people in it; and love it too!
See if I knew someone who was bulling me, I would have the opportunity to not be around them unless I wanted to. But if it was someone at a school, well then I'd have to be around these people. no way out. In Home School, I can seclude myself from unwanted put-upon's and surround myself with Christ loving people.
Although some bulling is in the own home (but I'm too tired to write about that right now. sorry.)
Now....to the Bully's.
I have not too much advice for a Bully (seeing I have never been one) but I think I know a few things that 'make' a Bully.
1. Their background: Their lifestyle, family, past, ect.
2: They are victims themselves: most Bully's have been (or are being) bullied themselves. They think bulling some one smaller/weaker than them will boost up their self esteem and make them feel bigger, that it'll solve their problem; but it won't.
3: Their self esteem: Usually a Bully feels bad about themselves and put's themselves down. Believe it or not, they usually feel like crap, all the time. So what they do is..say whats hurting them, to someone else; make someone else feel like they are worth nothing; so the Bully will some how "gain something".
I know that I might not be able to stop bulling alone, but the thing I can do, is pray. I think we should all pray. Pray that the bulling will cease. Pray that the Bully's will come to their sense's and the bullied will find hope. Hope in Jesus. And help. Help in Jesus. And love. Love in Jesus. Protection. Protection in Jesus. Help them to find their master in their time of need.
Matthew 5:43-45 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven..."
Matthew 5:38-41 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles."
Proverbs 6:16-19 "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
May God's peace be with you all.

This little light of mine...
...I'm gonna let it shine!
I've been having a hard time showing Jesus's light to other's. I've heard that sometimes Christians find it hard to do because they will be made fun of. Well, I never really thought someone would be so rude as to make a comment like "that"...turns out it's not like that at all.
Today I tried giving somewhat of my perspective on something, in a Christian-like manner, and they asked if I was trying to preach to them O_o I got upset you could say.... [but now my point]
I love giving people advice and sharing the Word of God to people, but sometimes I tell myself, "Maddie, your not good enough to be witnessing to these people, your as low as them. You don't know what your talking about and your just gonna screw up." But, actually I figured out that the devil was actually putting these thoughts in my head and it's not good, I'm learning to stop listening to him.
Sometimes I need to remind myself of the skit that my cabin group put on, on skit night at Camp Winamac in August. the moral was "You don't have to be an expert to help someone in need", and that's so true! I'm not an expert, but that doesn't mean I can't show, whatever light I have (even the smallest amount), to others.
So just remember, as I am to, that if you ever have the opportunity to tell someone about Jesus, do it!
To save a soul or brighten one, it doesn't matter. What you do with your life today and how you represent your King is what's important.
SO GO SHINE!

Falling...
It seems like all these people of the world are falling.
Yes, Falling... into something that what they think it is and it's really not.
let me explain, life is so full of so many activity's and thoughts, things to do and places to go that sometimes we feel used and we stop feeling loved. Like we are doing all these things for people, our parents, grandparents, children, boss and sometimes even our "friends" but are never feeling love in return. Believe me, we all reach a stage like this at least once in our life.
Well, that's when we sometimes fall. into something called love.
Sometimes we reach for love is the lowest places that it's not fair to ourselves, and it's certainly not fair to God. You see, you are a beautiful creature that God shaped and molded to be the person who you are today. A beautiful, beautiful design.
Psalm 139:14~
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

Psalm 139:14~
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
So if we know this, why would we fall in love in such ways that we destroy our bodies/mind and heart? The one's that God has given us.
Now maybe your trying to figure out what kind of "love" I'm talking about. Well "love" can be many a number of things.
1. love for food
2. love of money
3. love of relationships
4. love of being busy
5. love of tv
6. love of electronics
ect... Love is anything that we worship, not in a way that we pray and sing to it, but anything that takes over time with God.
Now let me get one thing straight, I struggle with this too. I am defiantly not perfect, many things separate my time with God and I am trying to deal with such Idols.
the 1st Commandment: Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.
Gods and Idols and anything we literally serve to, spend a lot of time with or takes up too much of our time.
"In everything there is moderation."
So when we are not feeling love from others, we usually look to physical objects (or other people) for "love."
Well, God want's you to know that He is all the love you need! He provides for you, He cares for you and He Made You!
So let's stop falling in love with all the wrong things because God is love and that's why he sent his Son Jesus to die for us,because He love's me. He loves you. and it doesn't matter what you've done either, all your sins are forgiven.
one of my favorite set of verse's:
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
love never fails.
(yeah, I don't know if any of this makes's sense but I tried.) God bless~

3. Tonya and I did a (not so epic) photo shoot in the woods *facial expressions FTW*
4. I sung a lot.
5. I laughed a lot.
6. Derek, being the awesome person he is, brought us some Chick-fil-a because he is just so cool like.
7. I got to see theadamgaskins.
8. I joined the Circle of Awesomeness.
9. I can hula-hoop better than Tonya.
10. I ate a cherry *Popsicle* ;)
11. My awesome mother drove me home.
12. My brother game me a hug and told me he missed me.
So today was totally not epic for 1 reason.

This gum is old... I think I'll drink tea now. Sew a pillow? maybe tomorrow. This crazy life is kinda, eh, flying by but that's okay cause God is there to stop the clocks and let me "unwind" for a little while. yeah, thanks for that. Crying never stopped anything...never helped either.
I am blessed. Yes, your wanting something crazily awesome, so you shall get it! dog....HEY!

yo....A.J.
This is A.J. <aka> Austin James. My brother whom is so much part of my life I don't know what I'd really do with out him. Since we were kids we've never gotten along! Check out some of our old tape videos, no happy ones xP and still today we have disagreements but (thanks to God and a lot of prayer) it is not near as bad. My brother at times will drive me crazy with his headstrong ideas and crazy stories and habits, but my brother is one that you wont get. If he want's something, he won't stop driving til he gets it. He's great at sports and even though it seems like he brags about it a lot, whatever he says is true =D
Austin is one of those people that you can't stand to be around yet hate it if he's away! He's such a helper and and so encouraging that it makes me want to smile all the time.
Of course he has the beautifulest blue eyes, cool hair, epic hat beast at sports and major sharp reflexes in which I'm no comparison. Which is why a cool brother like this is just, well, appreciated.
I guess I'm just trying to say, I'm thankful for my brother Austin!
First time for everything.
Hello welcome to my Blog!
I am not a nerd so I'm not sure how to do it all the right way, but I sure am trying.
Last night was totally epic, Went to the MacDonalds concert (great singers have you know) and got to see Tonya and the Matsons and of course the MacDonalds xP Soo, great night :D
Today has been, ummm... rain, rain, rain, so not all that. but Praise God for weather changes. We need those every now and then.
