Long time, no blogging, I know. Been working on a novella, which I have almost finished. (!!!)
For some reason, this season is the busiest, and the most stressful for me. Shouldn't it be the opposite? I want to be able to just sit down, relax, and enjoy this Holiday season with family and friends. But instead, I'll be finishing up essays taking tests over this next week before break.
I'm definitely ready for 2014 to be over, and to move onto another year. I've had a blessed year though, here are some highlights:
- Got my driving permit (and found out that I really don't even like driving. Pray for me for that, if you would.)
- Made it into NHS
- Had my Sweet 16th
and so many more, tinier blessings have occurred, but boy, am I looking forward to 12:00 AM on January 1st. I get so weary at the end of each year...did I do enough? Have I changed in a positive light? Am I on the right track for the next year?? It's so frustrating. And yet...I'm calm. For a reason unknown, God always chooses to give me such a blessed peace. Yes, I have my moments where I'm completely freaking out and don't know what to do, but underneath it all...I always know everything will eventually be okay.
My best friend, Natalie, has been such a mover in my life over the past year. This girl, who I met though an online community for Christian girls...has turned out to be one of the best people I've been in contact with in my entire life. (I affectionally call her "my twin") It's funny how God can bring together two people with similar problems, and have them come together to comfort one another in Christ, and glorify himself through them. All you know is that it is just what I like to call a "God thing." He brought Natalie to me in a time of desperate need for both of us, and through e-mails, Skype calls, and texts we've been able to reveal out true selfs and hand it all over to God. It's just so great.
But anyways, I sure will be taking it just one day at a time for the next few weeks.
Have a blessed Holiday season!

Plans for my Life!
(God holds my future, and he may have something completely different planned for me...but this is what I'd like to accomplish in the next ten years or so.)
Right now I'm a Sophomore in high school, so you might be thinking that it's a bit early for me to know what'd I'd like to do with my life. I am a VERY driven person though, and my dreams stick with me. So here is a path I'm considering taking once I'm out of high school.
My mom attended Cedarville University after a year at the New Brunswick Bible Institute. Hearing her talk about both colleges made me want to attend both. Right now, it's not looking very optimistic for me to go to NBBI, but I'm continuing to pray about it. Cedarville is definitely going to happen, though. If you didn't know, I LOVE History, especially American History. Also, I am very active in what I can do for politics, and I will never change that. I'm a firm believer that I MUST be the change I'd like to see in this world, mainly keeping America as a nation under God.
That being said, I'm planning on double majoring in History/Political Science, and minoring in communications. I know that I can do great things in life, and I'm hoping to become a Historian, author, or even a politician. (Wouldn't mind just being a politician's wife though *wink-wink*). And if God does not lead me down that path, I would also LOVE to be a Pastor's wife and stay at home Mom. After high school, I'm hoping to branch out a little. I'd like to spend my summers working at Disney World for the Disney College Program, or my real dream is to be an intern at the White House (cue the Monica Lewinsky jokes).
All I know is, that even though I truly do love my little "bubble" here in Maine, I really need to get out and explore the world. I'm a traveler, and even if that means living in an RV just road-tripping across the US, I'll take it. I'm planning to have a little fund for traveling, so maybe when I have my own family I can surprise them with random trips to various places across the country. I yearn to get out, move forward the Kingdom of God, and keep this fine nation the best country in the world.
So yeah, there's more about little 'ole me! xx

The Silent Killers: Autoimmune Disorders
The summer I turned eight was the worst summer of my life. About three weeks into the summer I began experiencing severe migraines, and eventually bulls-eye rashes showed up on my knee, and the back of my neck. They took me both to the local clinic and hospital where I was treated for Lyme's Disease. Once it was "cured" everything should've been okay, right?
Not how it worked.
For the next six years I dealt with chronic fatigue, frequent aches, pains, and migraines. When I was eleven, I also had shingles, which is normally something much older people experience. Accompanying all that I was diagnosed with acid reflux, and around the time I turned fourteen I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. So much for being cured, right? Doctors dismissed it as left-overs of the Lyme's, but my mom and I weren't satisfied. Finally in December of 2012 Mom ordered blood tests for absolutely anything and everything. (My Mom actually has type-1 diabetes and my Nana has RA, so autoimmune disorders run in our family). Two weeks later, and it came back that I had an extremely high RA factor, but had not tested positive for RA. Or anything else. So they sent me to a pediatric Rheumatologist in Portland, Maine.
Once there, I went through a few tests, and finally I had somewhat of an answer. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, along with possible IBS and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (those two not officially diagnosed, but my Rheumatologist really believed those went hand and hand with my Fibro). Fibromyalgia causes simple things like a common cold to make me feel like I'm suffering from the worst case of the flu. My joints are constantly stiff, I'm always forgetting things, EVERYTHING hurts, and almost everything I described above are side effects of this. It takes a huge toll on my body, and mental health.
So two years later, and here I am, taking many different medications...and just stumbling though life. I truly have to take one day at a time. I can start out feeling absolutely fantastic, and then by lunch have to go home from school because I feel like I'm dying. It can strike at any moment, even with being on medication. I'm fighting an invisible battle. If I even miss an hour of sleep one night, I'm done for for at least two days. It's tiring, and somedays I just can't take it anymore. People and faculty at school will comment, "Oh you LOOK fine."
Yeah, trust me, I know I LOOK fine. I hide my pain a lot, I don't want to be a burden to people. And being a type-a personality, giving up and being lazy isn't an option. I can't let this horrible disorder ruin my life.
So yeah, there's a little insight into my life. Hopefully in the next few years I will be able to enter a pageant system and spread a large light on these silent killers. The rest of my life won't be any better unless a cure can be found, but I'm going to try and stay positive. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me, or comment below.

The Busiest Time of the Year
It's finally the Holiday season.
Now, don't get me wrong, I adore summer...but this season of giving and remembering God's gift to us is my most favorite time of the year.
It's also the busiest and most stressful time of the year though. Up here in northern Maine we've already had two major snowstorms, and winter will still be here for the next five months. Also, we just started a new quarter at school which demands my full focus to keep my 3.9 GPA. I just have to push through the next eleven days, then I'll be free for Thanksgiving week to travel to the Waterville area and spend Thanksgiving with my downstate family and friends.
Sorry for the short blog posts, once I have a grand amount of time for myself I will start lengthening them.
What do y'all do for the Holidays?

The Voice of our Generation
~ Warning ~ If you don't like politics, this post is most definitely NOT for you.
I am a firm believer that if you want to get things changed, you must be an active participant in the change.
Politics are VERY dear to my heart, and I can already hear some people murmuring "Oh here we go again, another crazy kid." No, I am not crazy, I just believe in a better America.
I have been born and raised in a conservative family that let me choose which way to go in my political thinking, so it's not like I was forced into what I believe. I have chosen the route of being a Republican, because the core values in the party align with mine. I believe sooo much that we have what it takes to bring back the modern, yet traditional way we have run American in the past (like the Reagan administration).
If you love being on the right side of the political spectrum as much as I do, there is an absolutely FANTASTIC website/blog I suggest you read and join!
Future First Lady (http://www.futurefirstlady.com) features a different First Lady every month, has a wonderful store that has some wicked cute t-shirts with sayings like "Red, white, and better than you" and "Is it 2016 yet?", and really is a strong voice for us conservative, Republican women! So check it out!!
Until next time! xx

Favorites 10/19-24
This past two weeks have been very busy! Celebrating my NHS induction, along with my 16th birthday this past Thursday...life has been great.
Without further ado, my favorites for this special week!
As You Wish- Inconceivable Tales From the Making of The Princess Bride:
Cary Elwes, AKA Westley, one of my favorite characters in literature and on screen wrote a memoir about the making of this movie, and I may be a tad bit biased, but what a fabulous book! Great job, Mr. Elwes! I managed to cry, and laugh many times looking through photos and reading tales almost as good as the movie. The Princess Bride has just been a major part of my life, it's that movie that I watch I just need something good to watch. Full of witty humor, and a fabulous cast...in my opinion it's a true classic.
International Delight "Peppermint Chocolate Truffle" Coffee Creamer:
This is completely random, I know...but this is my favorite coffee creamer. I am a coffee addict (that's really sad to say at only 16), and to really enjoy my coffee it has to still has a slight bitterness, but have the taste of the creamer in it. And I am a big fan of the peppermint/chocolate combination, so it's a 2 for 1!
Alex & Ani Bracelets:
If you've ever met me, you know I love me some Alex & Ani bracelets. I have too many in my possession for to admit to you all without getting embarrassed...
But anyways, basically these tell a story about my life, and things I love and what I stand for.
Here's a link if you'd like to check them out!! http://www.alexandani.com/
Maybelline's Eye Studio Color Tattoo Metal Eyeshadow in "Barely Branded":
I don't normally wear eyeshadow because my eyelids are greasy like the rest of my face so it just comes off, but this is fabulous for me! It's a great champagne color which goes with everything, and it actually stays without creasing! It'd be great as a primer also, but I really like it by itself.
What were your favorites! I'd love to know! xx

The Ending
This morning I ditched my Canada mug for something a little more wintery. As I peered out across East Grand Lake, memories flashed throughout my brain. I was speechless. It was my last morning waking up to this until the second of May this upcoming year.
May I start my saying that this summer was grand. And this weekend was a mini version of it (minus staff bosses who I miss dearly). I got to work in my most favorite place, take quiet walks around the coves of the lake, and share sweet memories with my boyfriend and what we affectionately call "The Crew". What I foolishly forget to bring along with me though, was one of my "books of words". For the past years I've kept records of life moments in various notebooks, the style of a journal but in a blog format. My favorite thing to do is spend hours going through them and be able to reminisce about things I'd almost forgotten about, and praise God for the abundant blessings he's given me over the years.
On the ride home, I popped "Grease" in my Macbook in an attempt to keep my emotions in check. It failed. I bawled my eyes out, and it was awful. Living Waters is my home, and the people I work with are my family. Today I sat in the office by myself and looked at Volunteer Hall of Fame board. My grandparents along with my bosses Roger & Karen Black, Mark & Susan Olson, and Galen & Lisa Elliot are the most recent inductees. Growing up, these people were my absolute heroes, and they continue to be to this day. I couldn't help but tear up looking at it because my heart felt like it was breaking. These people are true disciples of The Lord, and they mean the world to me. Leaving today hit me harder than it has ever before. When I was younger, I was the definition of a staff brat...but now being older I've realized how much it takes to make sure everything works smoothly at LW. To be able to be a part of that process amazes me every day, and it's killing me that I'm gone.
Wow, I'm crying again. Go figure. Well, here's to the magnificent memories, and only seven months until I'm back home with my family. xx

Time for Celebration!
Yesterday when I got home, the first thing I did was sprint to the mailbox.
It was there. (Well, they were there.)
I made it into NHS.
Okay, okay...inside myself I already knew that I'd made it in, but I didn't want to seem overconfident and prove myself wrong. Now the celebration can begin! *throws confetti and glitter on all of you*
Next Thursday is the induction ceremony, and I'm especially excited because I'll get to share so many experiences with one of my best friends who is also getting inducted. Overall this is just the best thing in the world for me right now. A HUGE ton of weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.
But may I never forget to give thanks where it is due!
I'm so thankful that God has blessed me with my personality, and determination...and that he has kept me on the right track. I should've been trusting him more during this time of waiting.
If you're ever doubting him, remember these verses from the Psalms 121 (A personal favorite).
"The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore."
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! xx

Favorites: Week of 10/5-10
Sleepless in Seattle: Okay, you might as well know that my favorite actor of all time is Tom Hanks. I actually own every movie he's ever been in. But this, along with You've Got Mail are my two absolute favorites that he stars in. (The Green Mile is a very close third) I don't know what it is about him and Meg Ryan...but they're so brilliant on-screen together. I always cry during this movie...and I love some of the supporting actors also (Victor Garber, Bill Pullman, Rita Wilson), and the soundtrack I also really love. Basically you just need to watch it!!
Coldplay, and Switchfoot: These two groups are always my favorites, but I've been listening to them a lot more lately. They're really fantastic when I'm a little bit angry, but also when I'm just relaxing because they're very...mellow. And if you've never heard Chris Martin (Coldplay), or Jon Foreman (Switchfoot) sing?? You're missing out BIG time. Their voices are just so...almost raw in a sense, but just so...perfect is really the only word I can use to describe them.
Revlon Lip Butter in "Berry Smoothie": I have basically every color of the Revlon Lip Butters, not even ashamed to say that. I love almost all of the colors (the Red Velvet one looks pretty awful on me, though), but my favorite right now is the Berry Smoothie color. This one looks very glossy compared to some of the others, with just a hint of sparkle. It's a wicked good neutral berry color for this time of the year, and I've been wearing it every day this week. Check it out!!
Snail Mail: Snail Mail is basically my life. I write my close friends literally ALL the time. It just feels so much more heartfelt. I sent my boyfriend an anniversary card, and he was ECSTATIC to receive it. I love seeing reactions to things like that because it makes me happy along with them. Just waiting on a close friend to be able to give me her address so I can send her some cards!
What were some of your favorites this week?? xx

A Season of Waiting
Ever since I was five years old, I've dreamt of being in the National Honor Society.
Just to be recognized so greatly for your achievements, I've just been a long supporter of it. So this year, when I became eligible I of course applied right away. I turned in my application on the 25th of September, and my chapter's board had their meeting this past Monday.
So now I sit here and wait. I was told that today would be the day I'd find a letter in my mailbox confirming either my dream come true, or my worst nightmare. Now, it would not be the end of the world, because I can try again next year...but I've been working so hard almost JUST for this. Having NHS on your resume can look pretty snazzy. And ESPECIALLY since I'd like to attend Cedarville University (which has also been my dream since a child, but it's $35,000+ a year) I need all the help as I can get. But anyways...nothing for me in the mailbox at the end of my driveway today.
So now I sit here going out of my mind waiting, because my teachers won't tell me. This is fun, I'm having a greatttt time. (Anyone detect my sarcasm?)

Scandal: Okay, okay...this is not exactly the most appropriate TV Show out there, but I'm hooked. I was a big Tony Goldwyn fan anyways, and fact that the show revolves around Politics? LOVEEEE. I'm on Team Olitz, because...what other couple could you be cheering for? Shonda Rhimes is a veryyyy disaster-causing writer/producer, but I don't think we'll be going through like six seasons JUST to find out that Fitz and Olivia will never be together. It'd be like watching HIMYM all over again (Don't even get me started, it's not worth watching 9 seasons).
Orajel: This is a strange one, but it has been a true lifesaver this week. I have the absolute WORST canker sore in my mouth from biting my cheek while it was numb during a Dentist Appointment. It has progressed and I'm in severe pain because I can't talk, open my mouth, or even keep it closed without it being horribly irritated.
American Eagle Jeggings: I never thought in my LIFE I would ever wear jeggings. That changed in April though. American Eagle's jeggings are not really skin tight (perhaps that's because I'm size 6, but I go a size up) and they are SOOO wicked comfy.
and finallly....
MissGlamorazzi: You might as well know that I adore watching videos on YouTube. And I realllyyy love LifeStyle & Beauty bloggers. I used to love watching Bethany Mota, but then she got unbelievably popular and now is on DWTS...it's too much. But yeah. I've always really loved Ingrid (MissGlamorazzi), even though she's not a Christian, and sometimes her style confuses me...I really like her and her videos. So I've been bingewatching her old videos lately.
Have a happy Friday, everyone! What were your favorites this week?

Take Me to the Ocean
The salty breeze, rough sand burrowing between your toes, and the vast blueness of a world yet known.
I truly love the ocean. I'm fortunate enough to live in a state that is a gateway to the Atlantic. I have yet to get over to the Pacific, but I doubt that it'll be long before I can fulfill my journey to the west. It's interesting, because I did not get to experience it fully until I was twelve, but immediately I fell in love. My Mom has a fear of water, while my Dad is undecided on the ocean. Then there's me, who takes over a hundred pictures of any angle possible, runs up onto the large rocks to see the waves crash beneath them, and isn't afraid to get drenched in the salty coolness. In my room I have a jar of various smooth stones, sea glass, and shells I've found from random trips to places along the coast like Roques Bluff, Kennebunk, Bar Harbor, and most recently Bailey Island this past weekend (picture above).
My next goal is to get to the Cape, and experience the gloriousness of the sea there.
Is there any destination that is your favorite and you think I should experience?

An Introduction?
Today I had an epiphany, I needed to start a blog. ...and here I am! You should probably know whose musings you are reading though, so here's an introduction of sorts to my rather crazy life.
I was born in the largest city in the state of Maine, but moved to the small town in Northern Maine where I now reside at an early age. I love Aroostook County, I do, but my town is not exactly a...gem...and the people aren't exactly the kindest, so I might complain a little bit about life here. I placed my trust in Jesus Christ at an early age, and work my summers at Living Waters Bible Conference in Danforth, Maine.
I have a real zest for life, and have a wicked severe type-A personality...so if I'm working on something it's best you not get in my way. *hint-hint* Planning on being a stay-at-home mom/wife, but also having a degree in History so I can teach if need be. Speaking of History, to say I'm a history buff is an understatement. Presidential Knowledge is my forte, and I was quite often quoted as a child saying that I would be First Lady someday. Writing, coffee, singing, Disney, and the ocean are some of my other passions.
Well, if I kept going I'd be here all night, and trust me...you don't want that.

I have a real zest for life, and have a wicked severe type-A personality...so if I'm working on something it's best you not get in my way. *hint-hint* Planning on being a stay-at-home mom/wife, but also having a degree in History so I can teach if need be. Speaking of History, to say I'm a history buff is an understatement. Presidential Knowledge is my forte, and I was quite often quoted as a child saying that I would be First Lady someday. Writing, coffee, singing, Disney, and the ocean are some of my other passions.
Well, if I kept going I'd be here all night, and trust me...you don't want that.
