LIFE
Tumbling, falling
Flying, soaring,
Crashing, burning,
Shining, glowing,
Learning, teaching,
Finding, growing
Breaking, hurting,
Playing, laughing,
Gaining, losing,
Incredible heights, terrifying lows, thrilling speeds, crazy loops, enjoyment and fear
This is no roller coaster:
IT’S LIFE
There are no pit stops, no way to get off early, and no guarantees of a safe, comfortable journey.
God is willing to go on the ride with you, so no matter where you are on the ride you’ve go someone there with you, someone who will help you through those ups and down. So, are you riding alone, or with God??

The Journey of Life

Don't Delay
So, back two weeks ago, on my first day of school, my government teacher had the following quote on his board: "You may delay, but time will not." ~ Benjamin Franklin
He of course asked us what we thought it meant. At the time I had thoughts but, really wasn't sure what it meant. But, over the weeks I've been thinking about it off and on. I've tried to think and put into words what I thought of it.
I think that what Benjamin Franklin is trying to say is that you can try and avoid your reality, put it off for a bit, and just wrap yourself up in your own world but time is still going to move forward. The real world around you is going to keep right on moving. Things may happen in life, maybe shake you up but that doesn't stop the grand picture of things. If you get too wrapped up in that little bubble you've created where nothing changes, nothing hurts you, then you could miss out on a lot. You can't live in the past. You have to live in the here and now. Time will keep ticking as long as God allows it, and refusing to keep up with it could result in precious moments wasted. Moments you'll never be able to get back. So you have to keep moving forward no matter what.
That's just my opinion on it.
What do you think of that quote?

Fearless Heart
For even the most trusting soul
This world can be a scary place
So much that we can't control
In every moment that we face
When a thousand what ifs
Whisper in our ears
We remember who's we are
And watch them disappear
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road may seem dark
I wanna live, wanna live with a fearless heart
There are worries chasing everyone
It's evident in times like these
But I have found the confidence that comes
From time I spend on my knees
There's a truth I'm holding onto
As these days unfold
Greater is He, God is in you
And hear it in the world
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road may seem dark
I wanna live, wanna live with a fearless heart
He's my strength, He's my shelter
He is with me all the wayHe's my light and my salvation
Of whom shall I be afraid, of whom shall I be afraid?
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road may seem dark, yeah
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road is dark
I wanna live, wanna live with a fearless heart
With a fearless heart, with a fearless heart
With a fearless heart

JONAS BROTHERS CONCERT
Okay, so here is my LONG overdue post about the concert!!!
7/22/08
3:20 p.m. Leave the house, we run by the office really quick to say hi to mom then off the Shelby's house!
3:30: Arrive at Shelby's house. Pick her up.
3:35 We're off!!!!
On the Road: On the station Y98 they were at the Verizon Wireless Ampitheather and they interviewed the Jonas Brothers! And Demi Lovato! Shelby had to do our best to hold in our excitement. It was awesome! In the intervew we learned that, that morning the Jonas Brothers had done some sort of interview, the went down to field at Busch Stadium and hit some balls, and then went to Ted Drewes!! That's so cool!! Then we stopped at a Red Robin and grabbed some burgers to go. I didn't really get to enjoy mine because I was so nervous my stomach was in knots!!
6-ish: Arrive at the Ampitheater! It was so cool getting there knowing that the Jonas Brothers were in the same vicinity as you!! lol. After we went through the ticket gates we got in line for T-Shirts. Shelby and I each got matching ones, and they we each got ones for our sisters.
6:30-ish: We found our seats and sat nervously anticipating the amazing show to come!
7:00: Demi came out singing That's How You Know and rocked it!!! She did an awesome job! My favorite song of hers was Forget.
Close to 8: Avril Lavigne opened with Girlfriend. She also played many older songs such as Sk8er Boi, Complicated, My Happy Ending, I'm With You, then she also played When You're Gone and many many more.
9-ish: THE TIME WE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR. THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, SPOTLIGHTS FLASHED ALL OVER THE STAGE. THE BACKUP BAND CAME OUT. LIGHTS AND LASERS WERE FLASHING ALL OVER. THEN THE BAND GOES INTO THATS JUST THE WAY WE ROLL. THE JONAS BROTHERS POP UP OUT OF THE STAGE AND STEP ONTO THIS GIANT METAL ARM THING THAT CARRIES THEM UP AND AROUND, DOWN TO THE STAGE!! Then they sang many many of their songs! Their classic Year 3000, some from the recent album, and then quite a few from their album soon to be released!! (6 more days!)
During the song Goodnight & Goodbye Nick fell onto his back when he sang a part about being pushed around which then went into the bridge and from the ground he swung his legs over his head and Joe came and took his feet and flipped him over. Then Nick faced his back towards Joe and gave him his right foot and Joe flipped him forward. Then Nick did a cartwheel into a backflip down the runway thing on the stage. Then he bent down and Joe came and did a sweet flip over him!! During Hold On Joe went onto the runway and did an awesome air kick! Kevin also did this awesome spin while playing the guitar!! All of their new songs are amazing! They even did a cover of Shania Twain's Getcha Good!! It was incredible!! They sang their touching song A Little Bit Longer which Nick wrote about his diabetes. You can check it out here > (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD3T4OK3R5Y) He gave an incredible speech along with it. Then during Hello Beautiful, part of the song goes, Hello Beautiful, hows it going, I hear its wonderful in California. Well they sang, Hello beautiful, hows it going, I hear its wonderful in Missouri. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Then when they sang tonight I'm gonna fly they each rose up off the stage on this little podium things!! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!! During one of their songs they shot this water or foamy stuff into the crowd then Joe slid down the runway through it! During Gotta Find You from their DCOM Camp Rock, Joe picked a little girl up out of the crowd and had her help him sing it! It was adorable! Of course they did their newest hit, Burnin' Up and BIG ROB CAME OUT OF THE STAGE AND RAPPED!!! I LOVED IT!!! BIG ROB ROCKS!!! Then they all ran off the stage, then shortly they came back and sang When You Look Me in the Eyes and SOS!! KEVIN DID HIS SOS DANCE!!! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! Shelby and I left that show with a serious adrenaline rush!!! We were on a Jonas High!!
It was a good thing too because it took us almost an hour just to get out of the parking lot!!! We didn't get home until 2 a.m.! But it was so worth it!!! I definitely reccommend going to a Jonas concert!! My dad even enjoyed it!! They really do put on a fantastic show!!
