Yes, this really happened.

Today... I had an Otho appointment. So they called my name and I walked in the back... I sat on one of those chairs, And by sat I, of course, mean reclined in one of those chairs. The assistant removed my braces bands and says wait for the "Doctor" (Even though he's not really a Doctor). So the "Doctor" comes over and starts looking at my teeth asks me to turn side to side and then says... "Damn'it" Things you never want to hear your "Doctor" say.. that by far is one of them along with:

  • Opps.

  • So close.

  • We made a mistake.

  • Watch out for that truck.

Happy Tuesday.

Dear Skin,

Heyyyyyy girl heyyyy, how have you been? A little tired? Dry? weelllllllll.....could you do me a favzies and like stop breaking out. Listen up. You see I'm in my older teenage years now, which means there are no reasons why you are literally doing the freak. So if you cut the crap...I will take you out for a facial? Deal?

James 1:2-3

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
When troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.
For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
James 1:2-3

Somethings are odd. The way that this verse was the perfect one to pick for the week I picked it. My friends and I at school pick a verse a week just for life, to think about, to memorize and what not. I found out it was my week (two weeks ago).

The night before I had to pick, I got a text message from an East Coast Lifeguard who was having troubles in his life.

I spent awhile looking up verses, this is the one I told him to look up.

That night he re devoted his life to God.

The next day I sent this to the friends. This was put in a letter for someone, as well as it was a verse that one of my friends was already really focusing on.

God is good. I'm not saying that is a way that I saw that I was used, and what not.

I am saying this because in the middle of life...of questions...of thoughts....of concerns. God sends you just what you need to get by, and that is what I personally rely on.

Egotistical People.

There are certain things in this world that I simply just can't comprehend. Or not even so much comprehend as much as except. One of those things is egotistical people. The people who think something can't happen or get by without them, especially if they have been involved in a situation or place for a long time, their mind switches to "cannot operate without me". Even if the situation has been "operating" without them for thousands of years.

I understand the feeling of wanting to feel needed. Everyone wants it. Everyone needs it. To get by. To survive.

However, the feeling of that, "I'm so good, that this place would fall to the ground if I left" is very different. Those type of people who are so prideful I can't comprehend.

Through all of this I am not saying I am as humble as possible. I am not saying I, myself have not been egotistical before, I am simply saying the older I get the more I notice these people and hope not to become one.
