Oh my; Music and other things...

Have you ever felt so just relaxed and relieved you can't explain it? That's how I'm feeling right now: it's Spring Break, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have all A's this term, oh yeah the 3rd term is OVER, and I don't have to take any more finals (: How wonderful!

I'm not sure what I'll be doing over Spring Break but that's okay.

What do you like to listen to? I kinda listen to lots of things but probably mostly Christine music. It's really inspiring and I can praise God wherever I am! It's wonderful and always make me feel thankful and closer to God when I'm listening to it. There's a lot of music I don't like however.

I've been really surprised at how disgusting most of the popular music is. I song I heard in my friends care last night even had a cuss word in the name! Many songs are filled with filth and they have a clean name, or so it seems to me at first glance, so when it's not even a clean title it doesn't even give a good impression from the very beginning. I could barely stand to listen to the lyrics. Maybe people think I'm old fashioned and like that song said "Lighten up" but I won't ever lighten up because that's how God made me and if by lightening up they mean be more okay with sin then that's definitely never going to happen.

Here's a new song that I like and it's message is inspiring, I know it's from a Disney girl but it's still a good song I think (: and guaranteed clean! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzE1mX4Px0I

Sometimes I wonder what's the world coming to and how I think I was born in the wrong decade. Almost everyone nowadays thinks that it's okay to show a lot of your body, talk in a gross manner, not have high standards for yourself, and just "let loose" in other ways than just reading a good book and having some ice cream. I guess it just goes to show that people are more and more needing Jesus. Oh my, I'm glad to have some people in my life that agree with me though.

Going to such a large school makes things harder in cases like mine. I love all of my friends from school but it's just not the same as close friends that share my same values and ideals. If you're like me you know what I mean. It's nice just to know that there's other strong Christians at Wayzata but it's hard to really know that they're there when you don't know any of them! I guess I'll just keep praying about it more and more. God has some at school but I guess it will just take some time, after all it's His timing not ours, right? haha

Well, I'm very thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life, close friends or not, it's lovely to have people to talk and laugh with.

Sincerely,
Until Next Time,
Janae

Spring BREAK!!!!

Who doesn't love Spring Break? It's amazing! Whoever came up with the idea is a genius! I don't even care that much that this year we're not going anywhere because of my brother's schedule, I just can't wait to relax, go shopping, sleep, bake, be at home, relax, go shopping, sleep, relax, go shopping sleep, not do school work, go shopping, do some cooking, go shopping, sleep... I think you get what I will love the most (;

It's also the end of the term and I'm praying for all A's! No A- here I hope! All term it's been solid A's but then these past few days in Honors Communications I lowered to a really, really high A- so it's been pretty on edge for me! Oh well, I guess if God wants me to have an A- then I will, I'm just going to better than my best and hope for, well you know what I want!

I'm also going to have to get allergy tested too over Spring Break, what a joy! Not really, people sticking needles into you just to find out what you can't eat or can't do?! I'd rather be at school! But, after that's over then hopefully I'll be feeling better! (:

The perfect way to start Spring Break is one of my favorites, going shopping with one of my good friends and going out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory! Yum! Anyway you spend Spring Break, it's bound to be wonderful I think.

Sincerely,
Until Next Time,
Janae

sunday (:

Have you seen the KFC commercial about their Sunday thing? Well it talks about how people love Sunday and everything wonderful we save for Sunday. It's kinda true. I happen to LOVE Sundays! Or in French. J'adore dimanche (: Everything just sounds so much more wonderful and pretty, even saying I love Sunday!

Okay, so I love Sundays because I have Church ( Yay, my favorite thing! It's just so wonderful and amazing!), I might be going shopping, it's just a lazy day pretty much, and my parents have small group on Sunday nights so I get to hang out with the little girl I babysit and one of my good friends. It's really fun and relaxing and a good way to spend the last bit of the weekend. There's also really delicious food that everyone brings too. What could be better than that?

Shopping is also something I might be doing today also. I love the experience of shopping and I have to admit I love going to Goodwill with my mom because sometimes there are crazy unique things there like ridiculous old bridesmaids dresses, a cute hand painted ceramic lamp, or a cute little angel decorative item. Even though a lot of the stuff is nothing I would buy, there are some diamonds in the rough, which makes it more exciting! And there is always something new. Like going to Nordstrom Rack! I do love Nordstrom Rack more, but I mean it's kind of obvious why I do (; And maybe more, other shopping! Like going to one of my favorites: Anthropologie. They always have the cutest things you could ever find! Plus, some super adorable door knobs I'm trying to convince my dad to let me get.

Church today was really touching during worship. Our childrens pastor lost his wife (and she was also out old senior pastors daughter) last fall from a seizure (she had epilepsy) and I could tell it was especially hard on them today and it was really touching. I know everyone in our church cares a lot about them and will always be there in their touch times. I cry easily normally and today was just really emotional for me.

It also struck me today that I am such a sinner and would be so hard to love for God if I was Him, but he loves me anyways! He washes away my sins just to have more moments with me even though he knows the next bad thing that I'm going to do. Who would do that? God is so good! Also so faithful in my times of need. I know that I've had times where it would seem like I should be put down and sad about what's going on when others don't understand or aren't there with me; but God is! He has always been there and always will be here! I feel so blessed and I know that God will heal whatever diseases or injuries or even emotional problems I'm dealing with because He is my reason for living and loves me and everyone else more than anything!

So pretty much, what's not to love about a lazy day full of shopping, good food, and great friends and going to Church? Sounds like the perfect day to me (:

Sincerely,
Until next time,
Janae

Wow, it's been a while!

Okay, so I don't think anyone really reads my blog but oh well. I haven't posted anything in forever! I kinda totally forgot about my blog but I'll start again I suppose. Spring Break is comming up soon and I could not be more excited! My family isn't going anywhere spectacular but it will be so wonderful just to relax and enjoy myself; hopefully with a lot of shopping.

One of my favorite pass times is shopping. One of the things that my friends know about me is that I'm extremely Conservative and I love clothes. And it's true! I think that one of the places I got my Conservative influence is from my mom but I've kind of became my own and developed my thinking outside of just what my parents have told me. However, I do think a lot like my parents so it sort of makes sense that we agree on Politics!

Okay, back to shopping! I haven't been shopping in a while with the exception of last night with my best friend. It was so wonderful! I didn't have any money on me because I left my beloved purse at home, but just trying on clothes was so fun! We went into Forever XXI, I haven't been there since like two years ago and I forgot how wonderful it was. Everything is such a good deal and they have tons of modest skirts, which I am oh-so fond of!

Since I was broke at that shopping moment we were there I just tried on the craziest things! Like this outfit, compelte with parachute pants! oh my they were positively the most unflattering things I have ever put on my body! But that's okay because it was just so fun! Besides they're crazy good deals (and sometimes not very good quality for a lot of the clothes) I associate Forever XXI with crazy clothes and they didn't disappoint. But if those pants ever go on sale for like $5 or less I'll buy them (: They're just so crazy!



Yours sincerely,
Until next time,
