Kettle corn

So, I have a few brief things to say.

1. Recently, I have been struggling with weight, but then, one night I realized how God made me exactly how I should be. I pulled out my journal, and wrote down everything about me. And how I look. And all these things I've always known about myself, but never thought about just . . . kinda came out. It was pretty awesome. So, if you're ever struggling with your body size. Just remember: God made you exactly how He wanted to. The End.

2. We're going to California!!!!!!!! We're leaving tomorrow, and I am SO excited. So yah, I'll see you'all later!!!!!

3. The title of this blog makes no sense to me, so don't try to understand it.

Forever yours,
Katie

P.S. I am a little hyper right now.

Hello World

Traffic cars, cell phone calls, top video screams at me
Through my tender window I see a little girl, rust red minivan
She's got chocolate on her face, got little hands
And she waves at me, yeah, she smiles at me

Well, hello world, how've you been?
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, little hole in the little girl
Well, hello world

Every day I drive by a little white church
It's got these little white crosses like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in and say a prayer
Maybe talk to God like he is there
Oh, I know He's there, yeah, I know He's there

Well, hello world, how've you been?
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, little grace, little faith unfurl
Well, hello world

Sometimes I forget what living's for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I'll be there, oh, I'm home again

I see my wife, little boy, little girl
Hello world, hello world

Oh, the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
To surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world, hello world, hello world

yah! I'm 15 now!!!!!

So, real quickly, I just wanted to let everybody (ha no-one really reads this) know what's going on in my life. Well, I turned 15 yesterday, I've been volunteering at the hospital a lot, because the new building is opening, and i have a cold now. That's all!

Hope you are all doing well!

Praise God from whom all blessing flow . . .

Wow. A lot has happened since I last posted. To start, on January 7th, my Papa died. I wish I could say it in some flowery, meaningful way. But I can't. Death is death, and there really isn't any way to spin it. On Friday, the day that he died, all our family came here. We cried and laughed, and talked together. The most exhausting day ever. I went to bed that night feeling . . . broken. Like a empty shell, that had cried itself out. The next day the Carlson's came. What a blessing! It was so good to be able to work through our grief as one family. It's amazing to me, how the death of one person can bring so many things together. So many people from church gave us food, and cards, and I felt so loved! I got hugs, and well wishes, and felt like people actually cared about my family, and my life. On Wednesday, a man from our church died of a massive heart attack. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." Psalm 116:15 Mr. Johnson was a man of God, and will be missed. But again, it was amazing to see how we came together as a church to help his family. All of the teen girls at church took his daughter out to dinner on Saturday night, for some time to talk, and get her away from the house for awhile. On Sunday, we had a memorial service for him, and our church was filled with so many people. Later that afternoon, we had a gathering at someone's house. It was so many people, in one house, remembering, talking, laughing. It was truly amazing.

Death seems to be all around me. But I just feel very blessed by all the people in my life, and all the love around me. It's really truly amazing.

Soooooo

So, I really need a new name for my blog. The one I have right now, I'm not sure if I want to keep, but I just put it up cause I HAD to change the name.

My brother has a blog, on which he is doing Car reviews. Check it out! http://explodingcarz.blogspot.com/

Alright then . . .

“...I'd formulated a plan. Can you define a "plan" as 'a loose sequence of manifestly inadequate observations and conjectures, held together by panic, indecision, and ignorance'? If so, it was a very good plan.” -Bartimeous
