I'm not going to let this get to me. I won't. Don't worry. Just pray :).
Hmm... It's been five days into the new year and I still hadn't decided on what my resolutions should be so I thought about it a lot. I came up with two... three big ones... okay. more than that. -_-;;
ONE. Memorize at least 25 verses. I'm pretty sure I could do more but I know I'd forget over time... So let's just do 25 for now. I took one of my journals to school. the really small spiral one. yeah. I record random verses that I like in it and so I memorized one already. LOL. excellent way to pass time. 1 Thess. 5:16-18; Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Whatever happens, give thanks, because it is in God's will in Christ that you do this. I'm not sure which translation that is though... o_0. But I like that verse (: OH. and I got another one too :D. 1 Corinth. 4:20. God's kingdom is not just talk, it is power. AWSNAP. hehe :D:D:D. AREN'T YOU PROUD?? lol maybe those headshots worked after all. o_0
TWO. Finish reading the bible. Last year, I started to do this Bible reading plan and I read about... 3/4s? maybe a little less... idk. but I'd like to finish so that I can say that I've read the bible at least once. yeahyeahyeah! :D. good job, right? lolol I keep saying that.
THREE. raise them SAT scores! >____< no fun. no fun at all. my english is lacking... a LOT.
FOUR. yakety yak, DON'T TALK BACK. yeshhhh... and that also goes for not talking as much. I have a big mouth. -_-;;
lots more but they're small.
OHBOY. this whole past week. I've learned SOOO much about people. it's AMAZING. maybe, we're starting to open up... yeahyeahyeah! although... I'm the only one who has yet to share... -_-;; LOL. maybeee. God has something BIG in store... yeah, I could def. see that. (:

YAKKETEH YEK DUNT TUK BEK,
Take a profile picture with your glasses. I wanna see how horrible they are.
:) you have no idea how proud you make me...
some help on your resolutions...
1. if you're going to memorize verses, memorize verses that will help you to stand on the promises of God. That will really help you as you go through struggles. Memorize them, and put your faith in them, God's WORD, not your feelings.
here is a good place to start:

... and stop memorizing it in like the message version or whatever you're using... on its new living translation... I'd suggest ESV but that might be hard so probably you want to stick to NIV :D or new king james actually
2. you want to finish the bible with me? we can keep each other accountable... go here:
http://www.esv.org/biblereadingplans
for different plans to use. I really like the ESV study plan.
3. got no advice... just study
4. really really good resolution. I need to work on that too :D
Luke 14 says:
25Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, 26(X) "If anyone comes to me and(Y) does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters,(Z) yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27(AA) Whoever does not(AB) bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. 28For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not(AC) first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? 29Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.' 31Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not(AD) sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. 33(AE) So therefore, any one of you who(AF) does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.
I believe that you've already counted the cost. I believe you already have seen Christ to be better and more greater than anything else in your life. Now that you've given your life to Him, finish building what you've started! Lets renounce all things that we ultimately want for ourselves (emotion, feelings, feeling accepted, feeling loved, feeling close) and be true children of Christ that SUFFER for Him and stand upon His WORDS and PROMISES no matter how dark our surroundings are. He PROMISES that He is with us, that He loves us, and that He ONLY wants the good for us. How awesome is that?
thank you Shalom... you're perseverance is so encouraging.. i don't even know if I would be able to do it. But remember, even that is all from God. its not you who CHOOSES to persevere, but God who holds on to you no matter what. He PROMISES that there is NOTHING that can snatch you out of His hand.
John 10
5Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe.(AN) The works that I do(AO) in my Father’s name bear witness about me, 26but(AP) you do not believe because you are not part of my flock. 27(AQ) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28(AR) I give them eternal life, and(AS) they will never perish, and(AT) no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29My Father,(AU) who has given them to me,[a](AV) is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of(AW) the Father’s hand. 30(AX) I and the Father are one."
Romans 8
31What then shall we say to these things?(BI) If God is for us, who can be[h] against us? 32(BJ) He who did not spare his own Son but(BK) gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect?(BL) It is God who justifies. 34(BM) Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—(BN) who is at the right hand of God,(BO) who indeed is interceding for us.[i] 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36As it is written,
(BP) "For your sake(BQ) we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."
37No, in all these things we are more than(BR) conquerors through(BS) him who loved us. 38For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
:D :D stay strong and rely on God, giving Him ALL the glory :D :D
