One of my new Favorite Songs

"Swim" By Jack's Mannequin

You've gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music
That saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive
You gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far
To fall off the earth
The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor
I swim to brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
I swim

You gotta swim
Through nights that won't end
Swim for your families
Your lovers your sisters
And brothers and friends
Yeah you've gotta swim
Through wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don't see their greed as a flaw

The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open now
I swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
Well I'm not giving in
I swim

You gotta swim
Swim in the dark
There's no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark
Yeah you've gotta swim
Don't let yourself sink
Just find the horizon
I promise you it's not as far as you think
The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above
Swim
Just keep your head above
Swim, swim
Just keep your head above
Swim

I Miss My Brother

So this last week I have really started to miss Dan. Ha has been gone since February, and I really just now have started to miss him. Granted he has lived in MN for the last couple years, so I am use to him not being around, but not being able to really talk to him is starting to get to me.
I am super super proud of him though!!! He is doing such awesome stuff for God, and it just makes me feel blessed to have a brother like him :)

I Want To Do Something Big

I want to do something big for God, I want to do something that makes Him, my parents/family, and everyone around me proud of me.
I want to make a difference in peoples lives. I want to be an impact.
Some days I just feel like I'm nothing special, like I am just another average Joe.
I use to be so good at school, now I just have a hard time, and just struggle. I don't know what happened. I just know that now that I have started college, I want to do my best, I want to succeed!!! I really am excited for my new fresh start/. I hope the excitement will continue to allow me to do the things I want, and accomplish me to be the person I want to be, and the person God has created me to be!!!

She is My Best Friend

I couldn't tell you why we are best friends, because you wouldn't understand. The explanation is full of too many jokes and made up words; it's full of much care and too may tears, too many laughs and too many blonde moments. I don't think I will ever be able to give you a better reason, except she is always there!!!!

Ha stole this from a text I got!!!!!!
