So you're probably wondering why on Earth I'm talking about crazy drivers...well, because two of them almost made me crash today... The first one swerved between two barricades, and squeezed between my car and the one in front of me. I had to slam on the brakes so hard that all my text books and my purse flew forward very swiftly! Even at that, the car was within three feet of mine...thank God for reflexes... The second car got within about 5 feet of mine when the driver cut out in front of me. Once again, I had to slam on the brakes...this time I had my purse and a few groceries with me. I was able to keep the groceries from falling to the floor, but my purse slammed on the floor again...and that's my Gucci purse!...grrr...but thank God I came out of both situations with no injuries, and I still have an impeccable driving record... I do NOT wanna have to pay for my insurance bill! (My parents pay for it now because it is inexpensive and my driving benefits them as well as myself.) So, as it stands, I did not get injured, my mom's car is still in tact, and I still don't have any bills...yet. Life is good!
Well, I'm a very quiet girl in real life. But I must warn you,...I could write a book just off of one topic once I get to know ya a little. I love learning about new things, facing new challenges, and learning more about people as individuals. I'm certainly not a genius, but I put 100% of my effort into my studies, and the results really do pay off. I try to keep an open mind about everything. I will never say something important that I do not mean, and I will NEVER overuse the word "love". I do, however, have a sense of humor, that comes out a lot...on good days... I love my parents and my sister, even though they sometimes get on my nerves. I have a bit of a sneaky side, but I'm not a compulsive liar or anything. I use my sneakiness to get around my parents' rules occasionally...I know, not a good thing to do, but I'm working on it. But, I'm not terribly dishonest...I've never stolen anything, and I'm always open and honest to people about how I feel. If I'm pleased with something someone does, I try to let them know. If I'm angry at someone, I tell them so as politely as I can. I try my best to only do that which is pleasing to God. Mainly, I mess up with back-talking my parents...it's not an easy habit to break... The rest you'll have to figure out on your own, because that just makes getting to know you a lot more interesting. In closing, I'd like to give you props for reading this...it's sorta lengthy. LOL You all rock, and remember, God loves you so very much. God Bless!
There's hardly a person on this earth more real than you are.
You have no problem showing people who you are, flaws and all.
For you, there couldn't be any other way. Because it's way too stressful to live an inauthentic life.
You're very comfortable with yourself. And because of this, you're able to live an exciting, interesting, and challenging life.
2 Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious!
3 Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
4 All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing praise to your name."
Selah
5 Come and see what God has done,
how awesome his works in man's behalf!
6 He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the waters on foot—
come, let us rejoice in him.
7 He rules forever by his power,
his eyes watch the nations—
let not the rebellious rise up against him.
Selah
8 Praise our God, O peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
9 he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.
10 For you, O God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.
11 You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.
12 You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.
13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
and fulfill my vows to you-
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.
Selah
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
19 but God has surely listened
and heard my voice in prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!

Storyline
boy was born on the edge of a blade
from dawn to dusk he slashes away
saying, "don't touch me
don't notice me now"
nothing's sacred, no one's safe
boy's got an attitude to last for days
he's walking over me time and agian
no one's feelings ever matter to him
Lord i'm just so tired
tell me what to do with him
CHORUS
oh listen to the storyline
chapter written in another time
oh, listen
listen to the story line
you'll begin to know the reason why
pain just seems to haunt their lives
whoa, listen to the storyline
she's the invisible girl
sits at the edge of her visible world
and whispers, "don't touch me
don't notice me now"
shadows have left their mark
stole the innocence from her heart
now she's afraid of she might be
draws the curtain so the world won't see
thinking, "who would love
the person they would find in me"
repeat chorus
sometimes i can't believe the things i say
i've hurt them in so many ways
Lord, i've played a game of hide and seek
when all i wanted was for them to see
see the lines upon my face
the memories have left their trace
oh, everybody's got a storyline
find the secrets hidden behind their eyes
listen to the storyline
then you'll know the reason why
the voice is telling you inside
let compassion fill your heart and mind
oh, you gotta take the time
to listen to the storyline.
