Another year ended filled with obstacles, good times, making new and finding new friends....

Well 2012 has been a pretty great year I have to say. It's been an interesting one I can assure you. This year has been filled with up's and down's, but I have a family and a lot of friends who have been here for me every step of the way. Most importantly, I know I havent been like I should be in my faith, but I want to thank God for blessing me with so much. I know I dont deserve any of it, but He has been there for me when I am down or taking tests. I was so nervous about my math exam because it was my last math I needed to graduate and I was determined to pass it with flying colors. I prayed the night before the exam asking the Lord to calm my nerves and help me pass it with flying colors and you know I felt like I knew every answer when I didnt and i wasnt a bit nervous at all and I ended up acing that test with an 85. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and all I needed was English4 and a few electives and I was done. I hope and pray that 2013 will be a safe and great year and I hope that all of y'alls will be great, too! (:

Update

hey guys. Sorry its been a while since i last posted. I've been pretty busy with school and really didnt have the time to sit and blog. Anyways, just an update on how I'm doing. I just finished my first semester as a senior in high school and I made the B Honor Roll. Ive always aimed to make straight A's but it seems like theres always an obstacle that seems to get in the way. I finished all my maths, sciences, and histories. I just need to finish one more English and thats the part that brings in the big "Senior Graduation Project" that every senior has to complete. I'm doing mine on Photography. I like to take pictures so I chose to do that as my project. For my product Im making a BIG photo album of all the pictures I've taken. I cant believe I have already completed 1 semester as a senior. Time has surely flown. My Uncle, Aunt, and cousins from Virginia came down for Thanksgiving to visit. I always have a good time when Im with them. Its family that truely matters. Family brings you together. Theyre always with you til the very end. And then here came CHRISTmas...and yes I made CHRIST in capital letters because that is the true meaning of Christmas. Besides being with family and opening up gifts, Jesus was the true gift. I had a Christmas Chorus/Band concert a few weeks ago and we combined my schools band and chorus together and did one big huge concert. We sang at theres and they came to ours and played. Next semester at school all Im really gonna be focused on is getting my project finished up and getting my mentor hours completed. I cant seem to find a mentor though. I played my last game of Powderpuff back in November and after 3 years of straight losing we finally beat the juniors. 14-0 i think the score was. I couldnt believe it. I played defensive lineman and noseguard in the game actually the whole game except for the last 3 minutes of it. The next day some of the football players I go to school with and that Im friends with complimented on me playing. One of them asked me how come I didnt try out for the Varsity team? I honestly didnt know I was that good. And the cutest football player saw me walking and he said, "Hey Sydney, were you playing lineman at the game?" I said yeah why and he told me he heard about me playing and that I did really really good. I kind of felt butterflies in my stomach because he normally doesnt talk to me that much, but then he did when he heard i played DL. So just to update y'all a little bit on how Im doing. I promise Ill try my best not to let it go so far of me not posting for a while. (: Until then.......

17-Broadcast-Loving Life

well ive noticed that it has definitely been a while since i've last blogged. Ive had so much stuff to do between school and church and of course as a life of a teenager. To start off with I just recently turned 17 this past February. Yes i know everybody is telling me i'm getting old. I just can't believe that next year I will legally be an adult(well a young adult), but I'm enjoying every bit of it until then. Gosh time flies by. Well I got my first midterms and so far im close to the straight A mark i have always wanted. My birthday was one that I will never forget for as long as i live. My mom and stepdad took me out to eat and some of our church friends came. Of course we had the waiters come roaring with singing Happy Birthday in Spanish and it made my head sink all the way to my knees from embarrassment. Then we just piddled around and went shopping for a little bit and then went to our friends house and came home. It was full of laughs and acting crazy.....
This weekend is Youth Broadcast at my church. We had one last year and this year's is just getting better and better. Last night was our first night and basically it was about getting ready to have a true relationship with God. I will admit that I do believe in God but I havent been living my life right like I should. I never actually take the time to realize that God has given me another healthy year and the little things he shows me I take for granted and I shouldnt. There I got that off my chest!! Tonight is going to be the real deal...The Actual Message. I'm singing in the choir for it and at first i was just all down and out because I had to, but i know now that i shouldnt be because it pleases God and I can tell that God was moving in the church at the end. My friend Carrie went to the altar and I went up there with her to pray for her. She's my best friend I couldnt just leave her up there. I not only prayed for her, but I prayed for myself. And im thinking right now.....Do i really have a true relationship with God? That was the question that ended the first night of BROADCAST

Sleeping With Sirens - Fire

Picture Me Broken - Vital Signs

Vital signs
All contrived
To hide the vacant space behind my eyes
This heartbeat's just a lie
To fool the sky

Cause I'd fake life in death
To keep me by your side.

This is not the time for us
This world will fight against us, burning
Brighter than the fire in our lies
Kept like the secrets that hide in our eyes

Love
Please don't run
You wont get far
We're in each others' blood
Fate turns its back on us
Every time
Turn around
Face it all
What have we done

This is not the time for us
This world will fight against us, burning
Brighter than the fire in our lies
Kept like the secrets that hide in our eyes

We can't hide from this lie
Wait ten years to this night
We tried to hide within this lie to stay alive

Vital signs
All contrived
To hide the vacant space behind my eyes
This heartbeats just a lie

This is not the time for us
This world will fight against us, burning
Brighter than the fire in our lies
Kept like the secrets that hide in our eyes
