I will never ever doubt the power of prayer.
This past week I have been in lethal danger of failing Physics. If I had failed I would have been barred from Theatre, BPA State, UIL Lit-Crit, Winter Guard Crew, UIL Band, and FFA. My school life would be over.
But I prayed constantly that I would pass even with a 70 and - God be praised!- I did!!!! I will be going to my competitions and I will never let my grades slip again. I've learned that if you put your faith in God and pray without ceasing God will help you and grant your wish. But you have to trust Him and sometimes that's the hardest thing to do, to put your trust and hope and faith in someone, especially someone you can't see. But Paul said in the Bible "we live by faith not by sight" Just because we cannot see God does not mean we do not have faith in Him. It is very hard sometimes and we mortals will stumble but we must try and beg the wisdom to be wise from God so we may be good Christians and live faithfully. Jamie Sullivan from A Walk to Remember movie says about God and faith, "Its like the wind I can't feel it but i know its there..." God gives signs everywhere that He is here with us and always with us.
On A Lighter Note:
I will always always love The Addams Family. They are amazing! I want to live with them. I want Morticia's dress and Wedsnday's attitude. Wednsday is my favortie character. Then there is Grandma. She is hillarious! And Gomez and Pugsley and Fester and Lurch!!!! Cosuin It...they are just amazing gothic and great!
Ciao!

Emilie's Rules for Living Life, Based on Personal Experience
1. Trust in God. He will never leave nor forsake you even when everyone else does.
2. Do not fear the dark, fear what is in the dark.
3. Hot glue is really hot!
4. Forget diamonds, coffee is a girl's best friend.
5. Crying is a rare release.
6. Look at a person and try to *see* them. Find the beauty because its in everybody and everything. Look a person in the eyes to see in to their heart in soul before you judge. Sometimes you must look hard and more than once because some people are good at hiding.
7. Satan is not your friend he is your undertaker
8. Death cannot hold love. Christ proved that.
9. God is love therefore love never fails.
10. Loving someone gives them the power to break you.
11. The more you love someone the less logical everything becomes especially when it comes to that someone.
12. Just because someone smiles doe snot mean they are happy.
13. Love everyone because a.) God said to do it and b.) you never know what your love can do to/for them.
14. Mortal eyes are blind.
15. You don't know everything.
16. You are your own worst enemy.
17. Optimism is NOT fantasy living, perpetual kindness and love is not weak, and ignorance is NOT stupidity.
18. Do not criticize,torment, scoff at, or pass off someone for their interest in music, movies, books,art, etc. because you do not have their mind you cannot tell them what is good or not because tastes are separate. Just because you don't like that particular brand, music, whatever does not mean they can't or should feel bad for it. Your particular opinion does not mean they suck.
19. God is alive, Jesus died and rose again, He saved you. Christians win. End of story.
20. Some wounds never heal and scars bring phantom pain.
21. Do not forget those who love you most.
22. No matter what you do to someone if they love you they will stay with you even when everyone else leaves.
23. Make new friends but keep the old. Those are silver these are gold.
24. Yes people are strange but that does not mean that they are bad or something is necisareily wrong with them.
25. Live by faith not by sight.
26. Counseling/Therapy is not shameful. Its a relief. Do not chastise those who seek it. They are trying to get better.
27. Do not make fun of those who are depressed, have anxiety, cut, or have eating disorders. You do not know their pain. Do not judge them help them! One day you might be in their shoes.
28. Sometimes it hurts to do the right thing. It can hurt you and those you love sometimes. But it needs to be done.
29. Sometimes its the innocent who suffer the most.
30. Stand by your friends in their struggles despite the situation. No matter what it is help them through it. Leaving them could kill them. They need you more then ever.

33. God has it in His hands. He loves you. Do not leave Him. He is waiting for you.

Song: My Immortal by Evanescence
You know, emotions are funny. Especially in females.
This morning for example I was angry but the minute someone started me laughing I felt better and was happy throughout the rest of the day. Then for theatre practice tonight I needed to be sad for my role. So I listened to music that usually makes me sad and cry. But it didn't work because I was happy and a little ditsy. Then after theatre I started to slip into semi daze of happy and a numb phantom tug of sorrow. O sweet sorrow. Stupid really. It's all relatively stupid at least from the outside looking in. But who are we to say someone is stupid for their emotions? Its their emotions, their pain and sorrow, they must have a reason for feeling the way they do. People don't see people anymore. No one stops to really take someone in. People may look at me from first glance and mark me as a crazy weird child. They look but they don't see.If someone were to really see me they would see a good girl. One who is sweet, funny,a little silly, a little crazy, diffrent, intutive, Christian, caring, deep, a little sad sometimes but a good person. So I ask you not what do you see but who do you see?

All that is gold doe snot glitter, Not all who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost
