The Older. The Wiser.
People say that the older you get the wiser you are... True or False?
I believe that the older you get then the wiser you will be because over time you learn a lot. You reflect upon the different situations you go through and the multiple decisions you're forced to make. When something hurts you, you try to not make the same decision again. When something makes you happy, you tend to do it more often... but sometimes it's not that easy. Sometimes something that used to make you happy can change and make you upset later and maybe something that used to upset you makes you happy now. No matter what makes you happy or sad, well, you learn from it and it helps you to make either the same choices or different choices later in life. It may take making the "wrong" decision a few times before you make the "right" decisions the next time, but it's okay because at least you know how you felt before and can reflect upon that situation later so you don't make the same mistake again. Well, this all fits into the title because as we grow, we have to stumble over a couple of branches and get scratches so that we can learn to pay attention to where were going and what were doing so that it doesn't happen again later. We must learn what it feels like to be in pain or to be really happy so that we don't waste our time being depressed and unhappy. We need to spend more time making good memories so that when it's your time to go you won't spend your last seconds wishing that you wouldn't have done this or that but instead being happy with what you did do because it made you who you are and made you feel the way you should. So remember, do what you want and learn from it, but most importantly, do what makes you feel good. :)

The Relationships are only Temporary.
I don't even understand what God is doing in my life right now. He puts people in it but then sometimes the people who become so close, in the end, leave. I don't know if I was the reason for why we're not close or if they just have a problem and need to "solve" it on their own. I just wish that I could at least keep them as a friend. I don't care if we're never close again or don't talk the way we used to but at least show me that you care. When I say something nice, you could say something back... or maybe just let me know I don't mean anything to you cause then at least I wouldn't have to waste my time trying to figure it out on my own. Whatever that problem is in your life, well, I hope things work out well in the end. I hope that you realize one day that I cared about you and not the looks, the money, or your faith, but because of the person you were when we were still close... I guess I fell for your lies. Well played. [A]

That One Friend...
"This is the day the Lord has made; WE WILL rejoice and be glad in it" ~Psalms 118:24
I really like this verse because if you think of it, God does all things for the good of us and even though sometimes the situation isn't pleasant, in the end, it benefits you or someone else in someway. I'm the only person in my house that is a christian. I don't know why that is exactly and am SOO excited for the day that my family sees the amazing works of God and how having him as the solid foundation of their lives can really take the stress and worries off their shoulders. I became a christian back in May of 2010 and ever since have been attending a church nearby where I live. Last year, God blessed me with a friend that has just been really gracious to me (them and their family); I really love being around them because they just love God so much but then also have a way with working with people who don't know him. I met my friend last year in my math class. He was a new student transferring from a school in Greenville and when he walked in the room, right away, I knew that we would be friends. Were my first words to him the best way to welcome someone? probably not... haha. The first thing I told him was "Your name is Benjamin?! I'm naming my son that when I grow up!" Well, lets just say we didn't become friends right away. :P The teacher later moved him to my side of the room and he sat behind me; I was really happy about that. We ended up talking to each other and getting to know each other better and now, he's just that friend that i'm just so happy to have in my life... not to mention that we share math again this year. :)

First Entry. New Blogger.
Helloo Bloggers!
so... as you can probably tell I'm a new blogger and haven't had one before. haha. Well, to start off, I'm Emily. I have quite a complicated life and only created a blog cause after journaling for so long I decided to just start typing instead or writing. :) I don't really plan on having that many people look at my blog but plan on mainly using it to get my feelings out and post when I'm happy or upset. The name of my blog is "New story. New day." because everyday things are going on and if you keep everything to yourself.. well, one day you're going to explode! Without further due, i'm not that kind of person. So, get to know me maybe you'll like me, maybe not. We shall see....
