Well...

I talked to the friend about prom...and...
He asked a different girl.
Apparently I was just a back-up and didn't really matter to him.
But you know what??
Screw him.
I don't care anymore.
If I'm not good enough to go to prom with...
then he's not good enough to care about.
Whatever.
I'm done.

Crazy!!

A song that really needs to wake up today's society and my generation.
Crazy by Simple Plan-
Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Young girls dying to be on TV
They wont stop 'til they've reached their dreams

Diet pills, surgery
Photoshop pictures in magazines
Telling them how they should be
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

I guess things are not how they used to be
There's no more normal families
Parents act like enemies
Making kids feel like it's world war III

No one cares, no one's there
I guess we're all just too damn busy
Money's our first priority
It doesn't make sense to me

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?
Is everybody going crazy?

Tell me what's wrong with society
When everywhere I look I see
Rich guys driving big SUV's
While kids are starving in the streets
No one cares
No one likes to share
I guess life's unfair

Is everybody going crazy?
Is anybody gonna save me?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something

something is wrong
Is everybody going Crazy?
Can anybody tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on
If you open your eyes
You'll see that something is wrong


This song is so true. Girls of my generation think that they have to be beautiful and on TV to be truly successful in life. So they do things to their bodies that's just absolutely ridiculous. Allowing people to cut on them to try and 'improve' themselves. Wake up guys. If God had wanted you to have bigger boobs or flatter stomachs or different noses and fuller lips, He would have made you that way. When God allows you to be successful and make a decent living for yourself, don't throw that money on such useless and lavish things. Use that money to make a difference. Why on earth do a man and woman with one or two children need a 30 million dollar house with 12 bedrooms? Use that money to make a difference in this world!

WAKE UP SOCIETY.

Don't Really Care Anymore..

So...I was supposed to be going to the prom with a friend of mine, who I'm...kind of starting to fall for, I guess. We were at lunch today and he was talking with a friend of ours who asked him who he was going to prom with, and my friend replies, "Well, no one yet. Three of my options are out." I didn't say anything...and I don't know why. He told me he wanted to go to prom with me because I'm the only person he'd have fun with, but then whenever people ask him if he's going with someone...he always answers no. I don't understand why, and frankly...I don't really care anymore. Why must boys be so stupid?

Reaching This Generation

These statistics didn't seem to shock me as I read them.
Walking through a high school hallway these days, I've heard talk of everything. Sex, drugs, alcohol, the works. But there's one giant issue I don't here from probably 95% of my high school peers: God. And the way I see it, they won't ever talk about God if we don't reach out to these kids and show that we actually care about their salvation. They're not going to just wander into church on their own. We have to pull them in and get them plugged in somewhere. If we don't, then it's not going to happen. This generation is losing the battle against Satan's army, but we still have a chance. God's army has to prepare for battle and do whatever it takes to get this generation plugged in and begin a relationship with God, and I'm ready and willing.

How about you?

Mena, Arkansas

I was reminded today of God's wonder and grace. We went to Mena, Arkansas, today and went through the Ozark Hills of Arkansas and Oklahoma. This was my fifth time to go, and no matter how many times I go, I will always be in awe of how beautiful a place it is. To some people it may just be some hills and a bunch of trees, but to me it shows just how amazing God truly is. To create something so beautiful and then watch our society tear it down to add new malls and houses and roads just breaks my heart. If people really stopped and looked back and saw just how beautiful and rare you come by such a magnificent setting, they would leave it untouched.
Society these days is way too materialistic. We care so much more about what cool thing we're going to buy, or how much money we're making at our jobs, but no matter what we have or how much of it we have, we are never completely satisfied. I am never so much at peace as I am when it's just me, God, and nature. Nothing beats that. What better a place to meditate than in the setting that God provided instead of providing your own? It's magnificent. That's all I can say. Really, there's so much more I could say, but words cannot describe the way I feel up there. It's awesome.

The Destruction of Our Generation

First Post

I'm following in the footsteps of friends and family and finally setting up my own Blogger. I've been using Myspace for a long time now, and done a little bit of blogging on there, but not much. Hopefully now that I have a Blogger I'll be tempted to do more blogging! Yay!
Love and God Bless, Jess
