Okay, so I have a lot of senior friends as you know from past blog entries. So recently I have been asking why a lot! I have a lot of friends that will be headed to college and I am feeling abandoned. I am so scared that I will be left with no one. One night I was talking to one of my friends about this and she told me that people walk out of our lives and that means that their part it over and that's sad but God won't take people out with out replacing them with something better. Even though all my senior friends are irreplacable there are people that will enter my life and make their absence more bearable.
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. -Deuteronomy 31:6
God doesn't always give you what you want, but what you need. This next year will definetly be different but also an adventure. I can't wait to see what people will be brought into my life as others are taken out.

I just made a Pinterest. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a website to post pictures and ideas. I myself am a teenage girl and will admit to having one. Being a teenage girl, I follow other teenage girls on Pinterest. Everyday I log on and see many "wedding idea" pins. Now I don't know about you but, I AM IN HIGH SCHOOL! Yes, one day I hope to get married to Prince Charming but I'm not worrying about planning my wedding right this second. I trust that God will bring the right guy into my life, and even if I live my life single that's okay because I know God has a plan. But back to my point, yes I do think about my wedding and how I hope it's beautiful and perfect. But, at the same time, I realize that I am in high school. So, when I go on pinterest and see all these wedding pins it kind of stresses me out. I feel like I should be sitting down right at this moment and be planning my wedding. Yes, I understand that it can be fun to think about. Some days I love to sit and think about it but other days I really don't want to stress myself out.
So, now I come to the question: why do we care so much about our wedding? I know as a girl, and even as a guy, that it is a huge day, and a pivotal point in our lives. Because that magical moment {or at least I'm guessing it's magical} when you find the girl/guy you want to spend the rest of your life with it becomes an obession. So, I am led to believe that when you start gaining interest in the opposite sex is when this wedding planning obsession starts to kick on; so like middle school, high school? I think we see so many "happy couples" and start to think that dating is the key to happiness. If it were really that simple, a lot more people would be happy, no?
