The one thing that gives me hope

Have you ever felt like you just were the worst person to walk this earth?
Well I have. And it's not a pretty road to go down.

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always been a compulsive liar. I lied about everything under the sun, but I didn't really feel sorry about it.

Even today, I'm still trying to get over it. I feel like "18" is coming to swift. I don't think I'm ready to be a responsible adult if I have all these unfinished life projects to work out.

Some days I think I'm really smart and cute and funny. But I'm constantly reminded how I'm no better than a person who lies all the time. I say STUPID things, I don't think before I open my mouth, and I'm pretty selfish.

These are the days that I'm like "Ok. God should only allow a max amount of grace to give to me cause I seem to screw EVERYTHING up."

But that's what blows my mind! His mercies are NEW every morning! EVERY single day, He gives me mercy and grace to do things right. I can't wrap my head around it.

That is what gives me hope. I'm no good, except when He has forgiven me and gives me grace to sin no more. I'm no good, but because of his love for me and his mercy for all I can walk in freedom.

I DON'T DESERVE IT!! NO ONE DESERVES IT!
BUT HE GIVES IT FREELY!! To every man who calls on him.

God, I'm learning. I need your grace today. Thank you for being the cushion when I fall. Thank you for giving me second, third, fourth,etc... chances. You've never stopped loving me, even when I gave up on you. Help me to walk in your grace, to go and sin no more. I want no gain from anyone but you. I don't care about anything that people think about me, except what you think about me. Guide me, Father. And help me to forgive myself.

Blue finger, thinking, and kitties galor

Dang its been a year. fail.
Anyways, I've been doing ok. I don't want to recap on everything, cause that would be boring.
But yah, I'm doing ok except for the blue and green, swollen finger I got from walking the dogs. (Fail Asher)
I was crying as I was walking them, and at one point I just ran home bawling, with my neighbors staring at me like I was insane.
I got inside and fell on the floor, holding my hand like it was put through a blender. It was a pathetic sight.
Anyways by babies are doing fine. I got my adorable kitties and they are so big now compared to when I got them.
Brainblast! I was watching a vlog and this girl was like "Think about it (or Selah, as my pastor would say). We all used to be small, but then we grew."
......
At first I probably reacted the same you (imaginary, unexistent readers) did.
I was like "I knew that. durrr...."
But then I thought about it and was like "......DANG! That is trippy."
I know right?!
*Sigh* so I got a new laptop for Christmas and I'm typing on it now. MUAHAHAHA.
I can't wait to actually use this thing for something productive.
This is Haley the beast, and she's signing off!

omg VLOGGING!!

So I have started a video blog (i.e., vlog) on youtube. It is very addicting!!

I think that that is more my style because I can express myself more openly so ya'll should check it out at http://www.youtube.com/user/TheGURRgurrl

So ya. BYE!

Finally Summertime

So we made IT!! its already the first day of summer and I'm already sunburnt. haha thanks to savanna and her badminton. That was awesome.

Ya me and a whole bunch of others went to her house and played games and swam in her pool and it was amazing awesome!!

I love exclamation points...

But ya so I got Mr. Bracher to hug me! You see I made a deal with him at like the beginning of the year that if he let us use our calculators on a test then I would give him snapple (his favorite drink of all time. It's all we ever see him drink. Interesting....)

But ya I completely bailed on it even when he let us use our calculators and he always joked to me "Hey Haley! where's my snapple?"

I would say "Bringing it tomorrow..." When really i bought it a week before school ended and even then I was like "Don't worry, bringing it tomorrow."

He laughed at me. mocking. HA HA HA

But ya, on the very last day, I brought him a six pack of snapple (in glass bottles or it wouldn't be snapple of course) and he did something amazing.

He got up, laughing, and side hugged me!!

I FEEL SO HONORED!! He said that He would never forget me!

AW I love ya Mr. Bracher. Too bad I won't be taking Pre-cal with ya next year.

But ya. It's almost 1 in the morning and I'm really tired but I promise to blog more so YAH!!

God bless you and I love you all!

Inspiration TAKE ME AWAY

So I was inspired to blog after watching amazing phil for the last 30 minutes.

Haha so my cat did the funniest thing today. He waved his paw and wacked my nose. I was extatic.

But what I also want to discuss was why I only got a 94% on my LOTF project?!!

I worked so hard!! do you know how long that video took me. it was so hard just to get it saved. But thank God for Natalie Christenson or else my bootie would have been in big trouble. haha

But ya. Fail Mrs. McCrady. But I still love you. not like you blog anyway. the only person that actually reads this blog is savanna (LOVE YA SNICKELS) but ya if there is some unknown reader I would appreciate it if you said hey!

But no creepers please. cause my dad's a cop....nuf said...

So schools gonna be out in 2 stinkin days!1

but I was talking to savanna today and she was like "Ya this week is like going as fast as a snail." And I was like "totally."

She's the funny one in this friendship.

But ya I have my economics final tomorrow which everyone in my class is like really freaking out over when I'm like "Hey...its all gooooood."

But the awesome thing is that I can't even study cause Talia (darn you. YEt love you all at the same time) left my study cards in Mr. Bracher's room (which he probably put in the shredder because I always fail to remember to get his snapple. He gabbed about it today and I was like "DUDE!! I'LL GET THE DARN SNAPPLE!" wow this is a really long parentheses)

So ya. Lotsa stuff done. I made my schedule for running start (I'M GONNA DIE UNDER HOMEWORK!) which is pre-cal, english, and american government. ugh. But God will help me!! YES AMEN.

So ya. love ya one and all

SO STRESSFUL

I'm completely stressed out right now! Its the end of my sophomore year and I'm pretty sure that all the teachers are just trying to cram in as much homework as they can.

Its like they are the magic puppeteers and we are the lonely-wishful-thinking Pinocchio's. (I still don't understand why his nose grows when he lies.)

Anyways, I've been trying to get a job because my dad gave me the ultimatum that "No job, then no car. No car, no running start. No running start, then sucks for you. *smiley face*"

IT SUCKS

And i also have to read great expectations by this monday. UGH.

So my water's boiling and I have to get ready for my concert. So I gtg. But it feels nice to vent. So YA.

I'm stressed but I LOVE YOU!
