Yes, you read that correctly. Christmas. I have been in the Christmas spirit for weeks now which for some people might be a little early; however, I for one could have it all year long because it makes me feel jolly. When mom was out one day this little girl took the initiative to go ahead and decorate that mess before she got home (might I add I did a wonderful job). I have been working for the city lately because my boss is the mayor so she just moves me to where ever she needs things done. So I'm like a personal assistant/city employee/furniture store employee/personal shopper.. whatever you need done, hit me up. I know how to get things done! Like I was saying, I have been working for the city for our Light Up (insert town here) as a manager of it and a coordinator pretty much.
When the time came for the parade line up I helped line them up, I confirmed vendors, I made sure all the equipment was working properly, I hung up thousands of posters, I mean I pretty much moved a couple mountains for this thing to work out. And enjoyed almost every minute of it because I love being in charge of things such as this and watching everything all fall into place. The only thing I didn't enjoy was freezing my butt off in 30 degree weather and printing pictures of kids with Santa. Other than that it was a blast.
Now I'm not really sure what I will do since it's over. Our town decided to bring in an Ice Rink for people to enjoy and hopefully I'll be working there from now on. If not then I will have to start looking and *crossing my fingers* I can find a job waitressing because OMG I would looooveeee to do that. It would involve people and tips and that's what I am talking about! haha
Today I spent absolutely all day at church getting ready for our Christmas play which will obviously be in December but you gotta start early so that you can get some practice in. It went really well although sometimes we went off on subjects just chewin the fat. Anywho we got into an extremely deep conversation at the end of practice about the world and what is excepted these days and honestly it's amazing the things that people think are okay. And most of it is the Christians fault because we've let it happen and not said anything.
The people in my grade and well every generation is getting worse. And it just makes me wonder how long will we be here? How long will all the terrible things going on happen? The world is such a corrupted place and before I actually opened my eyes to all the chaos, I couldn't wait to have a kid and be married and what not. Now though? Do I really want to bring a child into this place? I can't imagine by the time the kindergartners get into high school will be faced with. I know at my high school smoking pot, partying, turning gay and raising cane is just the popular things that people do. So when they get into school will it turn into meth, coke, pills.. how far will it go?
If anybody wants to see a change in the world they have to start making it happen and not just wishing it would. Pray about it and take action. This goes for me too because I know I stand by and watch a lot of things that I know are wrong happen when I should stand up for what I believe in. I know this is deep but the world is just so terrible now with war and hatred like I've never seen. And we teach little kids to love and yada yada and yet the people that they look up to don't live by example and we wonder why kids are doing the things they are and getting into trouble.
But anyways I have been very blessed with a job, clothes, a house, a car to drive, a conscious mind, a family, soap, water, electricity. Things that we really just don't think about to be blessings and gifts but every little hair on your head is a gift. I'm starting out my week with a new perspective and outlook on things. We've got to turn this place around and I plan on trouping out and leading that march (:
I've been on Thanksgiving break this week and tomorrow I have to go back to school (again another blessing) But I have really enjoyed not going to school and I was hoping to keep it that way. Lol but it's back to the grind tomorrow. Although I do have to admit that I do like being on a schedule gives me something to go by. In just a couple weeks I will be out for Christmas break and after that college, job, and high school everyday?!? I am so excited that life is moving forward!
Alright, time to take a shower but I'll be sure to blog this week!!! Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and a blessed week! <3
