STAY WITH ME.
Hopeless, getting through this night.
And life is not dying in this fight, begging You to deliver me.
Confused why You won't take this pain from me.
My steps never felt so hard.
The end never looked so far.
But if You won't take me out, then please take me through this.
Stay with me, so I won't leave.
Make me see that this is not forever.
'Cause all I need is Your love, pulling me.
What is the reason for this night?
Is hope found in fullness with no light?
Does strength grow in our greatest fears?
God, I pray something good will come from this pain.
My steps never felt so hard.
The end never looked so far.
But if You won't take me out, then please take me through this.
Stay with me, so I won't leave.
Make me see that this is not forever.
'Cause all I need is Your love, pulling me.
With You here, I know I don't go alone.
I am Yours, and so through the fire I'll go.
My steps never felt so hard.
The end never looked so far.
But if You won't take me out, then please take me through this.
Stay with me, so I won't leave.
Make me see that this is not forever.
'Cause all I need is Your love, pulling me.

Growth.
It's been a long, hard couple of days. But I've learned some things. I guess I just needed to grow a little bit. And I guess I needed to hurt a little bit - to be humbled a little bit - to be able to grow. But I think I have grown. And I definitely learned some things. For instance,
1 : I shouldn't be so quick to assume unsavory things about people.
"...Love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever." - 1 Peter 1:22
2 : I need to be more careful with my words, because they can hurt people, whether they were intended to, or not.
"Even so, the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!" - James 3:5
3 : I need to be more considerate of other people and their feelings, and not just say or do whatever I feel like. I should take into consideration whether others are going to be feeling the after-effects of my actions and/or words.
"Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the King." - 1 Peter 2:17
Like I said... long, hard weekend. But I have survived, and grown. And I didn't lose a thing.
"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen." - 2 Peter 3:18

Thinking...
I have been thinking lately. As a large majority of my dear, dear readers most likely have discovered by this time, this can be dangerous. That is, my taking the liberty of thinking can produce dangerous - or at least, provoking - results.
And... I began this post two days ago. I have still been thinking provoking things, but I cannot remember a word of what I planned to say when I began this, besides which I don't particularly care to share my provoking thoughts with everyone in the whole wide world. That is, all four of you who read this.
In any case, what I am going to say now is not nearly as provoking as what I had originally planned to say, thereby producing a semi-less-original blog post.
I have a music presentation due on Tuesday, which I have not even began. It is now 8:35 on the P.M. on Sunday. On top of that, I have STAR testing until at least noon or 1 tomorrow, leaving me a rather small amount of time to finish said presentation.
Therefore, I depart, to finish a music presentation.
I bid you adieu.

More Joyous News.
I have recently shared some rather joyous news of mine, concerning cosmetology school. This joyous news is also concerning cosmetology school - specifically, acceptance into said cosmetology school. In other words, I passed the test and now am going to attend cosmetology school, beginning this very summer. In fact, this very month, I am to schedule an interview with some cosmetology school people. I am rather excited about this, and also quite nervous. The nervousness is rather overwhelming the excitement at this point, but it doesn't really matter because I got in! And also, my comrade was accepted as well. Which is, like, a huge deal. And basically I'm hecka super stoked about that whole situation.
I am also very excited because, this very month I shall celebrate the anniversary of my 16th year of being alive. And that's really... exciting.
I am also very excited because today I have gained two cousins. They are twins, as you may have guessed, named Frankie and Tommy. They are both boys, in case you were unsure.
Today, I finished a book, which was joyous because I haven't finished a book in quite a long while, mainly because I haven't really been reading any books, mainly because English homework has been lame lately and I don't really feel much like reading after I've read two or three chapters of Ivanhoe every day. It's an excruciating book. I would not recommend it to anyone. <--- That is my official un-recommendation. Or de-recommendation. Or in-recommendation. Whichever you prefer, since I'm pretty sure none of those words exist in reality. Ah, well... when one has attained the level of artistic license that I have, it leaves one free to invent words. Hahaha... just kidding. If anyone's got 'artistic license,' it sure isn't me. Amateur-ish novel-writer that I am... Ha! Artistic license my foot!
It appears to me as if I have just had an argument with myself... first I claimed artistic license, and then I scorned it. If you are now confused, do not fear. So am I. I don't pretend to be an easy person to understand. One usually accepts the confusingness of one's reality when they begin confusing oneself along with everyone else, haha.
Moving on, before all my readers die of confusion.
Overall, I believe that :
Basically this is a joyful-news-filled post. It's the joyfullest post I've ever posted, I think.
