Six Things That Make Me Happy!

I got this idea from my aunt. She had a list of six things that make me happy, so now I'm going to do the same thing. Seeing as my day was pretty much boring. I had violin, and had to skip out on catachism to listen to some guy that says kooky instead of cookie, and pizzy instead of pizza, and look at girls in flower print dresses and tights and do relaxation exercises. See, I'm learning violin in a group of people, and there is DVD with a guy from Brazil on it, a world renowned violinist (never heard of him before this :P) and he can speak English fine, but has some difficulties with pronounciation. And it was filmed in I dunno when, but awhile ago where girls all wore really not nice looking dresses and poofy hair. So anyways. My list of Six Things That Make Me Happy.

1.When I have a sudden inspiration and turn out a ton if good ideas for something.

2. Walking around in the wet sand with bare feet.

3. When my skirt is all flowy (and that definitely is a word!) and when i spin it flares out.

4. Making up new words, and then having to explain them to people.

5. Having inside jokes with my friends, when we can just look at eachother and laugh.

6. Having sparkly nails.

Okay, now the general idea is that someone reading this makes a list, who makes other people make a list and so on. But now you know 6 things that make me in particular happy!

God's Music

For those of you who don't know, I'm part of music in school. Me and three quarters of my class are all taking flute. Now, just a little run-down for those who have never tried to play flute. Getting a sound out of it is somewhat hard in the beginning. You have to learn to blow the right amount for it to get through the whole flute and still come out as a good sound. That's the second part. Depending on how hard you blow, it will either sound good or bad. Today Scott had a volleyball game and me and my friend Kristi were cheering throughout almost the whole thing. And after his game I had to practice flute.

Now, my throat was kind of sore after all that cheering, and you could hear it in the flute. Literally, the sound was all wheezy and you could just hear air going through with a little bit of a tune to it. It reminded me how I am as a Christain. Sometimes I feel really good about my faith, and I'm ready to take any insult, and do anything for Christ. After all, He gave His life for me, so I should be able to do a few things back. When I feel really close to God, it reminds me of when my flute playing is good and strong with a nice clear tune. I should be like that, living my life clear like that, so people can tell by the way I live that I belong to Christ.

But other times, my faith feels crummy. It's not very strong, and I'm not sure if how I'm worshiping or praying is respectful enough, and it just seems like God isn't there. I know that He is with me all the time, but sometimes it just feels like he's letting these things happen to me because of something I've done, or because He's trying to test me. And I don't know if I'm passing the test. That's when my flute playing is bad. It comes out all wheezy and you can hardly tell what song I'm playing. When someone snickers, I would just stop. But I don't want to be like that. I want to have a strong clear tune for the world to hear. I want to be God's music all the time. Not just sometimes, at special moments. But all the time, even through parts of life where I feel like I've hit a wall and I can't climb it. Because for me, God's music sounds the best.

....And all things nice

So. I finally did it. Overcame my technological challenges! I created a blog all on my own. This is a first post, which means I should be doing something special, or.....something.Unforutunately for all you people so excited about coming to see this for the first time.....I still do have some challenges in this field. But never fear. Because all I need to do is find the card reader and I'll be able to post some pretty pictures of our family, me, my friends, the whole nine yards. For now, I'm off to find out which other cool things you can do with this nifty blog. Nifty. That's a strange word. I wonder if normal people even use that word anymore.Anyhow I hope I can get this whole thing looking all nice, and hopefully this blog will entertain you and let you get to know me a little better!
