The Fighting Toad

I just became aware that there is a blog for my step-mom's cousin, Jonny aka The Fighting Toad. He is fighting cancer and i just wanted to let any person who doesn't know about him that he could use lots of prayer. I pray that the chemo starts to help his cancer and that god will help him!

I personally don't know him as well as i would like but i still pray for him and i have hope that his cancer will be healed! i am planing to walk in the relay for life with his team and am quite excited to do so for his sake.

well i just wanted to put that out there and hope that you all will do some praying for him I know that i will! well thts it. i know its not much but thats all i have to write today!

YIPPIE!

last night my brothers came to my last choir performance! i was soo happy when i saw them in the audience. i tried not to let the tears of joy stream down my cheeks and i did thankfully! but they were there in my eyes. i was overjoyed last night really just sooooo happy! michael and zachary both said i was really good and suprisingly michael gave me a hug! :) that meant lots and lots to me and i think i did better than the performance on friday! AND i ran into the microphone! everyone thought it was funny!! (including me!) i was really excited when i came out on stage and michael said "woo go aria!" i almost started to laugh. That was the very first and last performance that the came to this year! I love them both very much and im very greatful to have them in my life!

Also, i finished a very interesting yet very good book called The Thief of Always. I loved it very much and it was such a wonderful yet kind of creepy adventure! Some of the characters just creeped me out! Well okay almost all of the creeped me out! the book was by Clive Barker, also the author of the book i started called Abarat. I didn't get to finish that book but i will! that was my 23rd book this year! im on to my next book which im not exactly sure what it is yet but hopefully will get one! well

well i think that's about it for today! Have a great memorial day and rest of the week!

I could never be prouder...

I was just thinking about how proud i am of my brothers. I love them very much (even though i really dont show it)and i am soooo very proud of them. Really i could never be prouder of anyone else, not even myself. I go to every concert and performance they have and I always say to myself "im so proud of them". I love watching my brothers perform and i don't like to miss any oppertunities to see them perform. But i thinks it's funny because i go to almost, no, every performance they have and i still haven't seen them come to one of mine. I just hide it that i don't really care but truth is I get really hurt when i don't see them there. I try my best to keep them proud of me but i know they're not really as proud of me as i am of them. if i could have one wish in the whole world.... well maybe two the first one would be that my brothers would be proud of me. that they would show it in some way. After my performances in choir and band and drama i look happy to see my other family there and i am very happy to see that they could take time and come see me perform but all i want, maybe just once, is to see my brothers out in that audience watching me. some day i hope i can make them proud and let them know that I could never be prouder of anyone else in my whole life.

books, storms and an autistic boy

well last night i finished my 22nd book. maximum ride- saving the world and other extreme sports. it was a great book! i love that series by james patterson who is now my favorite author.

also last night my awesome step mom read me a story that she submitted to a magazine. it was how we should always remember that god is here to watch us when we are afraid. It got me thinking about my fears and how i fear them. I HATE being afraid and to tell you the truth I.... well fear it. Yes, i admit it i am afraid of being afraid. Every night when i get afraid i pray to god "Please lord god i am handing you all my fears and i pray that you just get rid of them for me. I hate being afraid and pray that you help me wash those fears right down the drain." I also sing to myself a verse that I learned off of a tape that my mom got my little brothers and sister. the funny thing is, is that tape was bout two little children being afraid of the storm and an angel came and helped them get rid of their fears by singing verses. Now i do have my own personal storm from time to time and i pray and sing and recite verses that i know to help me get rid of my fears. the verse that i recite is this, "the lord is my light and my salvation. whom shall i fear? the lord is the stronghold of my life, for whom shall i be afraid?" im not exactly sure what verse that is but it helps me when ever i get scared. i know that god will help me through my storms of the night and will help me get rid of my fears that i have and soon i fall asleep. I know i can trust in god to help me with my fears and that i shouldn't lean on my own understanding but trust in god to keep me safe.

now for my last subject on an autistic boy on my bus. he is a really smart kid and i hate how kids tease him just because hes different from them. i thought about him and how they tease and i have decided to reach out to him and be his friend. if he rejects me of course ill leave him alone but i just can't stand watching people tease him on what books he reads,how he explains stuff, and other horrible things they ask him about that they know is stupid and gross. I hate how people act like little kids and ask him those stupid questions and how he doesn't know id their just joking or their being serious. i hate it and i am now going to help him. become friends with him.
well thats it for now!
