HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

BEST FRIEND :)

Lil Shelby is finally 14, haha. :)

& yeah;

I haven't blogged in a while...

I don't really have much to say, so I'm going to just blog about what's happened in my life... since I last blogged.

• I sang my first ever solo; and loved it
• Winter break, baybehh!
• Fancy dinner @ Annabelle's w/ nerd herd; secret Santa :)
• Christmas caroling with Susie & nerd herd <3
• Spent the night at my loveee's; Kayla
• Movies with Jessie & Kaylaaaa

(Btw, I do not recomend to go & see "How Do You Know"; it's a really weird movie)

& yeah. That's my life.

LoveLoveLove,

Jess

P.S. Sorry this blog was really boring. xD

:)

Okay. So, since I was sick all weekend, I went to the doctor's office Friday,

& afterwards my mom had to stop at Wal-Mart & so I just waited in the car.

When, my mom got back in the car, she told me that she saw

a homeless man.

I asked her if she did anything for him, and she said no.

I felt bad that I couldn't do anything, so I silently said a prayer that

someone would take care of him.

So anyway, today in youth, Jason was telling us about this homeless man he saw at Wal-Mart, and he described him

& he was the same man.

He told us about how God was telling him to do something for that man.

So, he came back to Wal-Mart another day, and bought him

a heavy coat, gloves, and socks.

I just thought I would share that.

Life;

After talking to my friend, I started thinking about life.

It has its ups and its down, everyone knows that.

But for me, last year was honestly the worst year of my life.

People I thought were my best friends the year before, I realized, never really liked me.

Stress from school was overwhelming.

We couldn't afford many birthday/Christmas presents, or field trips.

My parents fought all the time.

I felt alone; abandoned by God.

For the first time in my life, I considered suicide.

But God was always there.

He gave me some amazing friends, a great youth pastor, and some incredible Christian mentors.

Without them, I don't know where I would be today.

So, I'd like to say thank you to those friends.

You have no idea how much you mean to me.

& we know it's never simple, never easy

The last few days, this song has been forever on my mind.

I haven't experienced a horrible break up, lost a friend, or anything along those lines, but, I think this song is generally just about missing someone you love dearly and can't go a day without.

They're freaks; but I wouldn't have it any other way. ♥

Okay so basically my friends are incredible. They're the kind of people who won't think twice about acting completely and totally stupid just to make someone laugh.

They not only make me cry from laughing so hard, but are also always there for me.

They're the kind of people who will start poking me randomly or saying stupid things to make me smile when all I want to do is cry. I would hate to face this year without them. God has blessed me so much with them. <3

I love you guys.

Forever.
