I thank God for everything I have and for all the special moments and memories in my life. For all the times that I felt down and He lifted me up. For each minute of the year where I'm able to be with the people that I love and cherish. He's always watching over us.

(Mariah)
I would give up everything
Before I'd separate myself from you
After so much suffering
I've finally found unvarnished truth
I was all by myself for the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heart it would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life

(Chorus - all)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with graduite
Cause baby I'm so thankful i found you.


(Joe)
I would give you everything
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To ensure your happiness
I'll cherish every part of you
Because without you beside me I can't survive
Don't wanna try
If you're keeping me warm each and every night
I'll be all right
Cause I need you in my life .

(Chorus - all)
Thank God I found you (I'm begging you)
I was lost without you (so lost without you)
My every wish and every dream (every dream, every dream)
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight (brought the sunlight)
Completed my whole life
I'm overwhelmed with graduite
Cause baby I'm so thankful i found you.

-Bridge- (Mariah & Joe)
See I was so desolate
Before you came to me
Looking back I guess it shows
that we were destined to shine
After the rain to appreciate
the gift of what we have
And I'd go through it all over again
To be able to feel this way

(Chorus - all)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you (lost without you baby)
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life (whole life)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
Sweet baby I'm so thankful
I found you


(Chorus - all)
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful
I found you

(Mariah)
I'm overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I'm so thankful I found you

What makes this world go round
Will the answer let her down,
She is so sweet and young,
And her life has just begun,

What does her future hold,
That's the story left unknown,
Will she make it through her days,
Let our love lead the way

Part of me laughs (oooh),
Part of me cries,
Part of me wants to question why (question why),
Why is there joy,
Why is there pain,
Why is there sunshine and the rain,
(one day) One day you're here,
Next you are gone (next you are gone),
No matter what we must go on,
Just keep the faith and let love lead the way,
Everthing will work out fine,
If you let love, love lead the way

Sitting there all alone,
In the window of her room,
Watching the world go by,
Brings tears to her eyes,

All she sees is hurt and pain,
She wants to break the chain,
She'll keep pressing every day,
And she'll find her own sweet way,

Part of me laughs (me laughs),
Part of me cries (I cry),
Part of me wants to question why (wants to question why),
Why is there joy,
Why is there pain (so much pain),
Why is there sunshine and the rain (sunshine and the rain),
One day you're here (you're here),
Next you are gone (you're gone),
No matter what we must go on (I will go on),
Just keep the faith and (keep your faith),
Let love lead the way (I know, I know, I know, whoa - ooh),

You can be all that,
And still can be who you are,
You gotta know for sure,
That it isn't make believe,

You may feel weak but you are strong,
Don't you give up, girl

If you keep holding on,
You'll never be wrong,
Just close your eyes,
Cause it lies deep in your heart, yeah,

Part of me laughs,
Part of me cries (I cry),
Part of me wants to question why (I do, I do),
Why is there joy (yeah yeah, oh-ooh-whoa),
Why is there pain (why is it),
Why is there sunshine and the rain
(why is there sunshine and the rain),
One day you're here (you're here),
Next you are gone (are gone),
No matter what we must go on (we must),
Just keep the faith and (keep the faith),
Let love lead the way (love lead the way),

Love lead the way,
Love lead the way,
Love lead the way,
Love lead the way.

Today was a good day! Won't you agree?

Today I went to church hehe and it was fun as usual. Had youth band practice and then went home to study for my chemistry test, instead of celebrating a friend's birthday, sorry. After I studied I then watched a tiny bit of tv then stretched for a little so I feel really good now that I've stretched.
I thank God for many things. ;-)

it's bad when people make you cry...especially when the people are your parents...:'(

So we have a three day weekend. On thursday night I was still at school helping out with eighth grade night. It was fun I was doing it for dance class..I was pretty tired once I got home. Then on Friday I went to visit my grandma, went shopping, and then I got some homework done. I bought a new jacket and a new pair of shoes. Today I went to school to help out with a car wash. Then I came home and had to babysit... Tomorrow is church I'm excited. I love church. Love to worship God. I guess that's all I have for now...not much to write.

Oh for anyone who's interested, want to take me to winter ball?? = )

Casting Crowns - If We Are The Body

It's crowded in worship today
As she slips in trying to fade into the faces
The girl's teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know
Farther than they know

But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

A traveler is far away from home
He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row
The weight of their judgemental glances
Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

Jesus payed much too high a price
For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the body of Christ

Jesus is the way

so today I went out in the morning to see my grandma then on the way home, I decided to walk up Coit Tower. Originally I was planning on going up there with someone else to gain some new memories and forget some old ones. So I was just walking and I met this man. Yes I know sounds weird and dangerous. But his name is Peter Dwares, you might've heard of him, he founded the program: Pathway for Kids http://www.pathwaysforkids.org/ and it was just really interesting. So then afterwards I went home for a little while and changed for a nice long game of tennis. Little did I know that it was going to be cold so I was in shorts and short sleeves. It was freezing. So although I was super tired, I just played so that I would be warm. After that we went back to my place to sing some Karoke hehe. That was fun and the boys really wanted to go to the arcade at Pier 39 so then we went out to the arcade. I fell asleep. So now I am extremely tired, but before I go I'll post up these lyrics.

Yes I Will
Backstreet Boys

I open my eyes I see your face
I cannot hide I can't erase
The way you make me feel inside
You complete me girl, that's why
Something about you makes me feel
Baby my heart wants to reveal
I'm down on my knees, I'm asking you
So these three words I wanna hear from you

[chorus:]
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, so these three words I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, baby I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you

Oh yes I will

This is no ordinary love
And I can never have enough
Of all the things you've given to me
My heart , my soul , my everything
Every night I thank you lord (I thank you lord)
For giving me the strength to love her more
And more each day I promise her
As long as I hear those three words

[chorus:]
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, so these three words I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, baby I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And someday start a family with you

[bridge:]
I stand beside you, in everything you do
Wherever you go, whatever you do
Baby I'll be there (oh baby I will be there)
As God as my witness
I will carry this through
Till death do us part, I promise to you

[chorus:]
Yes I will, take your hand and walk with you
Yes I will, Baby baby yes I promise to
Yes I will, give you everything you need
And start a family with you, baby
Yes I will
Yes I will
Yes I will, I promise you
Everything's gonna be all right
It's gonna be all right
I will

This song is stuck in my mind.

I got this email from Cindy, it's on of those chain letter things but I just wanted to people to read it and think about it.

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. If not for you, someone may not be living.
8. You are special and unique.
9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.
12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it. 13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.
14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

hehe so it's around dinner time, and I was thinking about Tofu, isn't it a cute name...anyways so then I thought about naming a dog Tofu and then I told Cindy and Cindy goes : "ur gonna name a dog after bean curd??????" haha. I wasn't thinking about bean curd. I was just thinking about how cute the name would sound for a little dog, but don't worry I won't name my dog Tofu, but it is funny.

So...school again this week. Hmm just like any other week, lots of homework and studying. Swimming has been fun and relaxing. Nothing special has happened...hmm...I'm trying to think of something to talk about, but nothing is coming up. Ohh I know what I can do. I'll post up the story that my group wrote for Italian class.

It's about two dogs. I'll type it in Italian first then I'll translate it.

c'e' un idreute rosso pulito nel parco, dove due cani incontrano sul 14 febrraio. Biscotti e' forte e bello. Torta e' dolce e carina. Incontrano al'idrente una nolte irischiarata dalla luna. Torta ha un biscotto e ragala a e biscotti. Biscotti regulare TOrta un fiore giallo e lei se arrosse. Cominiano lungo il parco, hanno pariato dei laro sagni essere gli avvocati vedano una palla verde e cominciano a inseguie dopo, una la palla crolla nell fontana, e torta seguire lui. Non travano, la palla ma si bagnano decidono sedersi il tramanto e si seccano.

There is a clean red fire hydrant in the park, where two dogs meet brought together by love on Valentine's Day. Biscotti is strong and handsome. Torta is sweet and cute. They meet at the fire hydrant when the full moon shines. Torta has a cookie and offers it to Biscotti. Biscotti gives Torta a yellow flower and she blushes pink. They stroll along the park talking about their favorite t.v. show and their dreams of being lawyers. The spot a green ball and start chasing after it, but the ball goes into a fountain. Biscotti jumps in the fountain and Torta follows him. They couldn't find it but found themselves all wet. So they decided to sit under a tree together to watch the sunset and dry off.
