God always has an Answer.

We all go through had times. There are times when all we want to do is give up. There are times when we feel guilty no matter how hard we try to feel better. There are times when we feel like we are worthless and nobody loves us. But the truth is, is that God has, does, and always will be there for us. I found this Chart and it just makes me so happy that God loves me and cares about me so much. I couldn't live without him.

Autumn Awesomness..




The leaves are changing, the trees are starting to become bare, and night comes much quicker than it did only a few months ago.. winter is coming, so within the last few days of wisconsin's beautiful fall, I had to grab my camera and capture some of the breathtaking sunsets, and the vivid colors of the leaves...I't snowed for the first time today...I love winter, but fall is definitely the most beautiful season there is.

VOTE OBAMA.

VOTE OBAMA or VOTE McCAN'T.
It's your choice. Are you looking forward to a huge change in this country, or do you want another 4 years of Bush's nonsense lead by McCain/Palin? Obama is the man for the job. I know that I am a bit byased being a total liberal and all, but I have researched and done my homework on the two canidates, and Obama is the ONLY correct choice for more reasons than one. Here is a Haiku I had to write for my civics class on the election and my views...

Barack Obama
Repairing our country's wounds
The change that we need

sums it up. VOTE OBAMA or prepare yourselves for failure.

HONORS CHOIR 2008

If any of you know me, you know that my passion in life is music. There is nothing I love more than singing my heart out whether I all alone or in front of a huge audience. It's been my life for as long as I can remember. This year I was blessed enough to make it into the state honors choir. Only 80 highschool students in the whole state make it into the choir, and I was one of them! I remember last year when I tried out, I had to sing my solo, sight read, test my range, and sing back 3-7 notes played at random on the piano. I was so nervous, but in the end it all payed off. We had a camp in green bay at the beginning of the summer where all of us met sang together for the first time. As soon as we started warming up, I got shivers down my spine. It was crazy because EVERY single person there were ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE MUSICIANS! Not on of them was ever sharp, flat, too loud or too soft. Everyone there was so talented, and even better they all had the same drive and passion for singing as I did/do! the rehearsals were each about 5 hours long with lunch breaks and dinner breaks and we usually started somewhere from 8AM-10:30PM every day for four days. To some, that may sound like tortue, but to me it was HEAVEN! Oh my gosh, did I loooooooove singing for days on end. Seriously, I never thought I would have such an awesome time. Anyways, months past and we all anticipated the BIG concert in Madison that I just got back from two days ago. We sang in this beautiful theater. The whole entire wall on the stage where we sang was a pipe organ. It was stunning. The acoustics in the theater were phenominal, and all of us musicians were in our choir heaven. That night when we performed it hit me that I have to go on with music in my life. There is no way that I can quit performing, and quit singing once I get to college. It is what I love to do most, and if I had to give it up I don't think I would survive. I'm not sure exactly where I want to go with it, but I know I have to follow what my heart is telling me, and it's telling me to stick with what I love. Music is what keeps me sane. Without it, I wouldn't be half the person I am today. There is nothing more self rewarding than a wonderful performance. There is nothing more satisfying than singing with people who know what they are doing! There is nothing more amazing than singing. God gave me this gift, and I intend to use it to it's full potential. Watch out world, I'm coming full speed ahead. :)
