I'm sick of our generation being 'depressed'. I know I say I am quite a bit, but that's pretty selfish of me because if I have the right perspective, my life is pretty good. I have a loving, Christian family, an awesome God, some great friends, and many 'earthly possessions'. Life sometimes seems so hard. I am so blessed, though! If I spent more of my time thinking of all my blessings instead of being 'depressed' about the bad things in life, I'd be a much happier person. I also think maybe right now I'm trying to grow up too fast. In some ways, I wish things didn't change and I could just be a little gi'rl forever. But I know that is not God's plan, and through these changes, He is helping me grow. Ok, I'm done with my rant...for now. I went to Ki'ng's Island yesterday with Allen, Zachary, Sara, Sean, and Eleni. It was a ton of fun! I rode on the "Son of Beast" and it ki'lled my neck (plus I was terrified!) so I passed on a couple of the other roller coasters that everyone else went on. Another really scary ride was the Drop Zone. Ohhhh my goodness it was sooo high and dropped so fast! We went on it at the very beginning and at the very end of the day. It was kind of a rainyish day, so there were practically no lines for all the major rides! We had a wonderful time and got to do a TON of rides. I'm really glad they invited me to come along, even though I am younger than all of them. Thanks, guys! :-D My sisters, Beth, and I are all trying to come up with this crazy scheme to go to Lafayette this Sunday. It was going to work perfectly with my brother's moving, but apparently they are going to Southside for their last Sunday before college starts...so our plan keeps getting more and more complicated. We'll have to just wait and see what works out. Ohh yeah last Saturday, I went with the Pulliam's to lake Wawasee and stayed till Tuesday. It was a lot of fun - tubing, knee-boarding, and skiing. I was pretty sore and sunburnt afterwards, but it was pretty worth it. It took me forever to get up on the ski's, but once I did, I could get up right away. Knee-boarding was a brand-new experience for me. But the times I tried to 'get air', I feel off pretty hard. I got one or two 'face-lifts' (aka I hit the water really hard face first) and those were pretty painful. This is a pretty random post...I think I'll end it. Just a reminder - focus on Christ in your life instead of all the 'horrible' things, and life will be GOOD!
