We don't have to impress God to serve Him.
When a God-sized dream falls on your heart,
don't write it off as someone else's task;
something too big for you.
It IS too big for you, but never too big for Him.
We are exactly where we are for a unique reason:
We were created for such a time as this.

Ya dig?
Continuing on through sophomore year, I find myself writing about people and things that I don't even remember. I'm finding lots of amusing things:

"You've been looking awful single. I can fix that."
"You've been looking awful single. I can fix that."
I laughed really hard when I read that. That sounds like something I would say.
I seriously doubt anyone ever actually read any of this. "Today in second block we did this. Today at lunch I sat with this person and this person and this person." Really, Haley?

"This homecoming stuff is driving me crazy. I don't have a date yet, because I don't think anyone wants to go with me...and I don't really care for pity at this point. Either way, I shouldn't focus so much on homecoming anyways. It's just one night, and one date that I'll never have. And it only happens once a year...
But for just one night, I'd like to feel special, like someone thought I was pretty or nice or smart or interesting. Just one night, I wish someone could pay attention to me,"

I didn't write that, a friend of mine did. I copied it on my site because I felt the same way. Aren't we so dramatic at fifteen? She's married now, incase you were wondering. :)
But I am really glad I don't have to worry about finding dates for dances anymore. I put so much weight on that in high school, and I don't think it ever turned out like I wanted it to. I had all these big dreams based on every movie I had ever seen- about how I would go to the dance with the perfect guy and he would fall in love with me and it would be wonderful and happily ever after. And for the most part, my dates for dances were along the lines of "Hey, there's a dance this weekend, and neither of us have dates, so we should just go together." Which was fine.
I got close once- or thought I did. I had it all planned out, and it was a legit date. And he was a senior and I was a junior and I had been wanting it to happen for something like the better part of two years. And it did. And basically, it was awful.
I don't even talk to anyone I went to a dance with anymore. With the exception of Prom, becuase I went with some stellar people and it was wonderful. Isn't it funny how things change? How things that were so important once just aren't anymore? Don't get me wrong. I loved high school and I would trade any of it for the world.
