Pray For Joplin

I cannot stand the feeling of being "trapped." That's what happened last Sunday night. Here, in my town of Indianapolis, I was pretty sure that the tornado was coming straight toward my own house. Knowing me, I was scared out of my mind. It's the kind of feeling you get when you just want to go down into the ground, or move across the country just for a night, knowing you will be safe there, or even trying to find somebody to hold you for a few hours just so you don't feel as scared. Well, I didn't have any of these, so I prayed, (more like panicked), and texted somebody I hardly even know, (but I knew that they would be reassurring). Sometimes, I just need somebody to tell me that I will be fine, that the storm isn't going to hit our house, (even if it might) to make me feel 80% better. I don't know why I am so upset about storms, but now I am very, very, sad for Joplin. I can't believe that the small storm in our area caused a larger storm for Missuri. My heart is very heavy for these people, because I dread what happening to them happening to me our my family. My heart is in tiny sheds of glass for these people. I pray that each one of you will come join me in helping people in Missuri. There are several ways to help.

If you are able to make a $10 donation, please text "REDCROSS" to 90999. Or, you can log onto the American Red Cross Disaster Relief donation page (once you are there enter the Joplin zip code, which is 64801, to make sure your donation is directed correctly).

Let's pray for the people that may have lost loved ones, that they will have strength.

Survey!

Who's style do u like? Audrey hepburn, Gwenth Paltrow, Jenifer Aniston, or Gwen Stefani? I honestly don't care for any of them. Audrey Hepburn's is too old fashioned, Gweneth Paltrow's is pretty good, but a little on the edge, Jenifer Aniston's is too...you know, and Gwen Stefani's is creative, but out of all I would go with Gweneth's.
When your alarm goes off, do u: jump out of bed, hit the snooze, cry? Sometimes I scream into my pillow with the little energy that I have in the morning, then I just turn off the alarm completely. I hate getting up in the morning.
Which of the following is essetial? lipstick, eyeliner, foundation, or mascara? They are all essential, but the most essential would definately be mascara, because it can be used in place of eyeliner, and most people don't really need foundation and lipstick.
What is your most essential hair styling tool? blowdryer, flat iron, curling iron, velcro rollers? Probably my straightener, because you can also use it to blow dry your hair and also curl it!
How many times have u changed your hair color this year?Once, to red, but it didn't last.
How long does it take u to put your makeup on in the morning? If I'm just going to church, then about 12 minutes. But if I'm going out, then about 30.
Where do u buy your face wash? Either online or a CVS.
Your handwriting is.....Depends! If I'm feeling scholarly then it's very elegant, but if I'm in a rush then its kinda spaced and crooked.
What's your signature scent? Victoria's Secret PINK
What type of manicure do u prefer? I like french, but I prefer a neutral pink.
Your grandmother gave u a hideous sweater. do u wear it? Of course!
What do u look for when u go shopping? Some clothes that will pass both mine and my mother's flesh inspections, anything pink, purple, or green, sparkly high heeled shoes, long dresses, floral blouses and skirts, gold neclaces, SALES!
This summer u couldn't stop listening to?.... Uhmm hello? Taylor Swift?
Which reality t.v. show could u kick butt on? The Waltons or Little House On the Prarie. No, wait, Hannah Montana. NO! Extreme Makeover Home Edition. I'd make a great designer! What do you think to yourself when you see an ugly girl? Every girl is beautiful. It's not on the outside what counts, but on the inside!
Do u brush your teeth in the shower? No I prefer in the sink.
What beauty icon would u love to meet? Blair Fowler or Miranda Kerr
Would u ever leave the house with a stain or rip in your clothes? Depends!
Sneakers are for?..... Running, walking, playin, basketball, sports, etc...
How would u describe your beauty? I don't want to sound prideful. I believe that every girl should be able to liberally describe the features that makes her beautiful. It's what God gave to every woman. I like my hair, the unique color. I like my eyes, even without makeup. But inside beauty is what matters. I believe that I have some unique qualities on the inside. I'm very maternal and I care alot about other people. God gave every girl beauty and it shouldn't be taken advantage of. What types of guys do you search for when your in the mall? I don't search for guys. Guys can find me. I don't even notice guys when I walk through the mall, (unless they have their jeans pulled down to their knees, then I call them a ghetto idiot) but even if guys try to win me over, I say I'm taken and I'm not their type :) I don't need another heartbreak. What are your favorite baby names?? Alexis, Caroline, Alyvia, Leslie, Emma, Rebekah, Eric, Isabelle, Bethany, Brently, Ella, Hailey, Quinn, Hayden, Anna, Brett, Chase, Ryan, Nolan, Daniel, Harper, Julia, Ashton, Taylor, Oliver, Sarah, Emily, Cara, Mark, Mandy, Melany, Elizabeth, Trenton, Payton, Gwen, Juliet. A cute guy asks you on a date to the beach. What do you say? I'm too cool for you :D

Books For 2011 #3

Great Expectations is a dramatic novel; we are prepared for this by the drama of the opening chapter. Charles Dickens uses an advanced language that plants a clear insight of the setting, the character profiles, and the novels' historic aspects. Pip, the main character of this novel is orphaned from the start. The opening chapter shows this vulnerable child visiting his family; cold and alone standing in front of the seven graves of his mum, his dad, and his five brothers. Pip's situation is desperate, like his view on life, and challenged. This creates a dramatic entrance for Magwich, the escaped convict who threatens Pip with his life for the return of three unimportant items of food, water, and a file for his irons. By the end of this chapter Pip is left fleeing for his life in dramatic blur.

Hello!

I thought this picture was pretty :)

Tomorrow I am going to ride dirt bikes all day! I'm really excited. But I would ask you all to pray that me and my friends will stay safe.

As far as the promised video goes, I haven't been able to finish filming because my camera isn't working very well. I need to get a new one, but I can't really afford it. So I guess I will either just do my Throughout the Years Blog through type or just wait till I do get a new camera. I just thought I'd say hi to everyone on this beautiful Friday evening and I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

Update

My, my, my...what a dreery day! This morning I woke up and I just felt absolutely terrible! My stomach was cramping and I felt really dehydrated. Then when I tried to drink, it just about came right back up. So much for that. But then the pain got worse and I took some bentyl, which relaxed my stomach muscles. Even now, three hours later, I still feel like my whole lower body is about to fall off, lol. But anyways, I really felt like writing a blog, but I wasn't sure what do write about. I guess I'll start with my favorite sport: volleyball. Sad, sad, sad news.....I won't be playing this year. My parents said that I can't play this year because they are too busy to drive me around. I seriously have not been able to get over it. I acted all cool and stuff when they told me, but inside I felt like there were shreds of glass running through my heart. Volleyball has been one of my first priorities in my life, and I never wanted to give it up. I'm extra discouraged because I'm going through my last years of even being able to play any sport on a team. I wanted to see my old friends. That was also my way of staying fit for this summer. But it just isn't happening :( I wish I was old enough to drive or I had a friend who was free to drive me. I guess now I'm going to have to find some creative ways to keep fit for this year. I've already actually gotten a couple of ideas. I'm going to make it a habit to go out and ride my bike around town for a while a couple times a week. I also am going to try to run around the block a lot. But to me, that is just sooooooooo boring! I cannot just run around without being occupied with something else. I think I am going to buy one of those straps that you wrap around your arm with your iPod in.

I'm also very interested in making money this year. But, sadly, I currently don't have any babysititing jobs right now, and I obviously have made it clear that I can't drive. So I talked my parents into paying me if I read some big, classic novels. My mom always used to give us little prizes whenever we would read a whole chapter book. And my parents have always encouraged us to read a lot because they beleive that reading is the way to achademic success. But I don't enjoy reading long, hard, classic books, but my mom wants me to get a nice transcript, so in order to make money, I need to read, read, read, read, reeeeaaddd. Yeah, you get the idea. But I'm hoping to be able to read books like Pilgrims Progress and Pride and Predjudice and Sence and Senceability. I know they're all hard reads, but if I make twenty bucks a book, I believe it's worthit. It will also help me to spend my money wiser, knowing I really saved up for it and worked for it.

So that's all I have to say for now, ttyl!

A Time For Everything

A Time For Everything - Hannah Buis

Everything I do

Should be for the One

Everything I turn to 

The only begotten Son

All of my trust, hopes, and dreams

Everything in You

Cuz you've laid out a plan for me

It's too good to be true

For you say there is a time for weeping

When I'm feeling sad

Laying in bed, but not sleeping

And there's a time to be mad

There's a time to laugh 

And feel happy inside

A time to do something new

And not be afraid to try

A time to dance

And sing His song

To express your emotions

To feel like you belong

There's a time to make love

But another to abstain 

A time to rejoice in things above

A time to walk in the rain

A time to embrace the joys of life

Hug someone you love

But there's also a time to part to strife 

Yet satisfied you have enough

A time to get those things reached for for so long

Casting aside fear, struggle, or worry

Knowing you can't go wrong

And trying not to be in a hurry

But there's also a time to lose 

After giving all you have

So someone else might know the truth

Not knowing what you once had

There's a time to keep things

Which you hold dear

That include sundry things

But knowing your true home is near

A time to love and a time to hate

A time of war and a time of peace

A time to find that special mate

A time your dad hands over the keys

As you can see

There's a time for everything

So don't concentrate on "me"

Construct your time wisely

Hannah
