tomorrow:

cleaning my mom’s co-worker’s house.

twenty minutes ago:

getting told to take out my lip ring or tongue ring.

 

 

i don’t want to take out either.

mother: ‘take it out. or i am not taking you to gary’s’

gary=guy whose house i am cleaning.

 

 

simple solution: i take out lip ring so i can clean and get big bucks then put it back in when i get home.

take it out and leave it out.

leave it in, don’t go clean, don’t get big bucks, no one gets cmas presents.

including mom.

hmm…

i like the first one.

 

 

i know the good thing to do is to listen to my mom.

but this is expressing me as an individual and my independence.

that is what being katie is.

being an individual.

being a rebel.

being a pain in the butt.

but also.

being quite helpfull.

being a caring person.

who loves helping others.

but also wants to be herself and not be a poster child who does everything that everyone else does.

who does things they don’t want to do just because it is in.

who is bummed out when their parents won’t let them buy $100 jeans.

 

no.

i want to be the one who may look rough around the edges

but will take the shirt off my back so someone less fortunate can be warm.

the one who gives up her time to help special needs kids feel like people.

who loves her mother unconditionally, even though her mother hates everything in my wardrobe and all the metal in my body.

 

that’s me in a nutshell.

a small nutshell.

there is a lot more to me.

=]

just thought i would have this little rant.

thank you.

 

i am not afraid to say that.

i am not afraid to tell you His word.

i am not afraid to say that i am a Christian.

 

 

i just thought i would let you all know that.

=]

put your hands down!

 

this weekend was awesome.

spent it with my dad, lindsay’s family and horses.

=]

horse show yesterday.

my horse, well the horse i ride in the shining stars fun shows,shadow,

was spooking a lot.

we were in an indoor ring and i rode him the first time in each event and he kept shying away from going down the ring.

haha.

it’s ok.

i think God made him do that.

it sounds weird, but

since my accident last year, i have been quite a bit spooky myself of being on a horse for fear of it spooking and me having another accident.

i love it.

it is my passion.

i love riding.

yesterday,

i prayed before the first event,

and when he spooked,

usually i would have been all freaking out and i wouldn’t have ridden the rest of the day.

not yesterday.

i was so eased.

i was fine.

i took control and let him know i was boss when he would shy away and stop dead in his tracks, and when he would go and be good, i praised him.

he was fine for the other two people who rode him, but that was after i got him used to the ring being different for each event.

so yesterday God blessed me and got me over my fear of them spooking and having an accident.

i know that horses will spook and i will come off, but i’m not afraid anymore.

 

 

lindsay did great.

she rode hochie.

i think God blessed her as well, because the horse she usually rides,

her cousins horse who is extremely green and a very dangerous horse, would have flipped out and lindsay would have ended up falling off.

she placed in every event, and got 2 2nd places.

we are happy because she beet both of the girls who always won at the other shows in one event and then one of them in another event.

yesterday was a blessing.

=]

 

ethan hawk.

mhmm.

he is a pretty pretty boy.

i will sing.

to be mad for my king.

 

YAY! for God and Jesus!

that is my post for the day.

=]

and put gravy on it.

then eat pumpkin pie.

=]

Give thanks to your family and to God for this beautiful day!

i need to take a holiday.

maybe it’s a fall from grace.

i gotta find a new place.

 

boys like girls are really cool.

i like that band.

=]

 

the prestige is a GREAT movie.

you should watch it.

it has david bowie.

the illusionist is too.

it has edward norton.

 

i gave my cat a bath today.

i need to brush her.

she takes baths rather well.

for a cat.

she only squirms when i try to put her in the tub.

after that she just pouts.

in the morning.

i have virtual algebra 2.

in the afternoon.

i have virtual chem.

my grade isn’t that great in that class.

i need to study harder i guess.

chem is hard.

algebra 2 is easy.

 

that is because i like math.

not chem.

haha.

college searching.

difficult to find to find a college that will have nursing, ministry, and equine studies.

i signed up for a thing so that colleges will send me info about themselves based on the questionnaire i filled out.

 

if any one knows colleges that will have all the above.

CONTACT ME!

 

 

i suggest you read the psalms.

any of them.

i find them all appealing.

=]

 

please stay for a while now.

the toms family is amazing.

i love them all.

bull ride mania in a few minutes/hours with my family.

love is a cool thing.

 

Courage is not skiing down a mountain a step ahead of an advancing avalanche, that is crazy, courage is doing the right thing when “the right thing” seems to scare you.

 

i have amazing people in my life.

just thought i would post that.

those people know who they are.

i call them cool kids.

if they are my peers.

and amazing adults i have decided to call the people that are my elders.

but elders makes them sound old.

my cool influences.

how about that?

but the cool kids are cool influences too?

um…

any suggestions as to what call my amazing adults?

 

 

let me know!!

 

ok that problem aside…

i am going to be a cool kid myself and blog Bible verses or inspirational quotes in every blog now.

maybe both.

depends on the day.

and time of day i am blogging.

as for now.

i found this really cool quote out of a devotional book i have.

that is more of an inspirational book.

teen girls check it out: Light For My Path for Teens Illuminating Selections from the Bible

it look like this:

the cool quote is:

“Today God’s eyes are still running all across America, Canada, Mexico, the islands of the sea, the world…

looking for someone–anyone–

who will totally and passionately see Him, who is determined that every thought and action will be pleasing in His sight.”

-Jim Cymbala

 

and this verse from Psalm

The Lord watches over all who love Him, but all wicked He will destroy.

Psalm 145:20

 

if you ever have any thoughts in your head that no one loves you.

God does.

God loves you.

and me.

=]

that makes me smile.

but not as much as me telling you that God loves you!
