-Blank-

I couldn't think of a title, so I'm just calling this blog post a blank.

Life's pretty good besides the fact that my English grade is down because I failed yet another AR test. I don't see the advantage of not letting middle schoolers read what they want to read. And since I'm in honors, I have to read above a 6.5 reading level, and that means mostly classics. Ugh.

Anyway, I made the jazz band! And I improved my mile time by a minute and two seconds since the beginning of seventh grade.

My obsession with chemistry persists, and I don't have a slight clue why.

Last year our school dance was kind of stupid, so this year my BFF and I are kicking it back at her place on Friday and we are going to watch cheesy love stories and eat popcorn, soda, and ice cream. Yum.

Well, it's late, I'm tired, and I'm going to church tomorrow, so goodnight! :)

Gone...

How do you feel when something (or someone) you loved and cared about so much is gone? Just... gone. Like, 'You will never see them again in this world', kind of gone.
Well, just remember, if something like that happens to you, just remember that God wants that to happen. It may be for your own good, or maybe He has some special little reason of His own. But it's always going to be a good reason.


Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.


To me, this means that we shouldn't let ourselves believe our explanations for why things happen the way they do, and why they do. We need to just understand that this was God's plan for us, and that whatever happened took place for a good reason. God doesn't want to make you sad, he wants to make you happy. So don't be angry at God. What did He ever do to you?
But trust God. He has a great plan for you, no matter who you are. He will make your path of life clear if you listen to him.
