2 Saved and I am Psychic

Hello my dears! It has been sooooo long. My apologies. We did not go into the computer lab last week because we had a sub. Great news, at youth group last night two people got saved. I think one of them was my friend which makes it that much more special. The pure excitement and joy rushing through my veins was an exhilarating feeling so explainable.I wanted jump and shout and hug, but naturally I remained still. I do not know if anyone was quite as excited as I was at that moment, but that is alright. If it was my friend that got saved, and I am sure he did, it hits me hard where I have been weak. God pulled him outta my school, just another cold hearted atheist. He was directed toward our church by a basketball hoop as an escape. Then BAM. Like a lightning bolt, the King struck, piercing the darkness as sharply as a blade pierces flesh during medieval warfare.
Other than that, my week has been relatively mild. On Friday there may have been some freshman doing some suspicious activity in the bathroom. I don't know what they were doing but it was weird. At lunch there was a black kid with a ton of plastic ware stabbed into his hair. It was impressive. I babysat three boys on Saturday. That was fun. One played some Yu Gi Oh with me, but he got bored. Granted, I didn't let him use my best deck because I couldn't find it. I should have let him though because I can strategize better than he at the moment, but whatever. The second oldest, being 8, was quite a fellow. He was one of those kids that's super respectful and willing to try negotiating a deal. I liked him. The youngest was 5. His name was Jett. He had soft hair. Mostly the boys stayed upstairs and played video games. I pretty much just fed them. I watched Lost in Space. I didn't start on the first episode, so I was super confused, but I really enjoyed it.
Yesterday I walked into church to drop my siblings in their classes before heading to my own, on my way out though I spotted my friend the Smurf's grandma and she spotted me. I could tell she had something to say. I could tell that it was about him. Now, this lady really likes to talk, and typically I would have tried to escape so I wouldn't be late to Sunday school, but obviously since my mind told me that it was about the Smurf, I wanted to know if I was right. She didn't come directly to me, so I slowed my step just a bit. Two seconds later she came up to me to tell me about how cute the Smurf was in his blue tux the night before when he went to prom.
*Smug look* Called it. A lot can be communicated through a glance.
So yeah, I am psychic. Obviously. That must be the answer right ?
I honestly have no idea how she knows that we are friends. As far as I know, she didn't go up and say this to anyone else in the youth group.
Okay, so that comment about us being friends sounds really rude.  Context! (Here it comes.)
The Smurf is slightly reclusive, and lives in the north with his brother. Their grandma goes to my church and they come down in the summers. We all love them, however his brother is much easier to connect with. (Sort of. At least you would think you are connecting but you're likely wrong.) The Smurf sits in the corner awkwardly with his dirty looking blue hair falling about his face which is tinted slightly blue around the edges framing his scowl. He is a bit weird (Okay, a lot weird and maybe a bit bipolar) but we all accept him. He usually stands off to the side though so like, being the person who hates feeling left out, for some reason I decided to be closer to him than his brother last summer. So now we are friends and I haven't heard from his brother in ages. (BTW he cut his hair and it isn't blue anymore. He looks like a normal boy now.)
Also he reads my blog so...

Hi Smurf. How was prom?

Yeah. I have the SAT tomorrow. I am a little nervous. If y'all don't mind praying that I will be a clear minded genius during that test so that I can get into the Air Force Academy that would be great. Also if you wouldn't mind keeping my school in your prayers so we can have more saved and that God would use me in that work, that would be great. I think that is all for now.  You guys have a great day.

First Post/ Finding Inspiration

As This is my first ever blog post, I thought this random writing rather suits the situation.  Enjoy. 😎   Here I sit, trying to find some inspiration for my pen to express on this page.  I close my eyes and let my thoughts sink into the depths of my soul in search of emotion.  All is pitch black, yet I can see; no, feel the dread beasts nearby.  Anger breathes down my neck while Ignorant Joy juggles knives in an effort to comfort Self Conscious who is weeping in the corner.  The more dangerous emotions I prefer to keep locked in steel cages.  To my left, Fear growls and tries to convince me to let him out.   Behind me, red hot Anger still heaves his fiery breath, singeing the hairs on my neck.  To my right, are Love and Trust.  By far the most dangerous of the group, yet also the most inspiring.  Together they conspire over an intense game of cards how they will soon rule the world.  I boldly approach them and twist the key...

How To Write a Limerick

Good morning, People! How was your sleep? Mine was alright. In my dream, my buddy Flash found my lost Starbucks gift card. He was like SWEEET until I told him it was mine. Then he looked a bit bummed. I (seeing this sad face and not particularly liking it) decided to make a deal. "Tell you what. You can keep the card if you promise to get coffee with me." "You do not have control over that stuff." He took my card and walked away. Fereal? Who does that??? LOL. Fortunately it was just a dream. I still have my half spent gift card. Now that we have talked just a bit, it is time to get serious. We are going to write a Limerick. {What in tar nation is a Limerick?}Hold your horses, I am about to explain. A Limerick is a form of poem following an A-A-B-B-A pattern. This means that lines 1,2,and 5 rhyme and lines 3, and 4 also rhyme. The lines labeled "A" are longer than the others and have the same rhythm. I will try to write a Limerick right now. (I literally...

Decorate a Leader Night

Hello. Today is Thursday. I wasn't sure what to write about to be honest. The past twelve hours have been a bit like an emotional rollercoaster. I would rather not discuss it right now.  So instead, I decided to talk about poetry. I don't really want to do that though. My brain is a bit mushy. However! I did find this sonnet by Shakespeare. I really like the last line in the sonnet. It just stands out in sharp contrast. I must show you. Here you go, Sonnet 65 by Shakespeare. Sonnet 65 Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea But sad mortality o’er-sways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower? O, how shall summer’s honey breath hold out Against the wrackful siege of batt’ring days, When rocks impregnable are not so stout, Nor gates of steel so strong, but time decays? O fearful meditation! where, alack, Shall time’s best jewel from time’s chest lie hid? Or what strong hand can hol...
