Faith

What does the 5 letter word Faith mean.

-believing
-love
-standing up for what you believe in
-hope

To me faith means you what you have in hope for.

What do you hope for?

I have faith in The Lord.

I know he keeps all his promises

Most people depend on alcohol, drugs, or sex.

-Will those things make you keep the promises you have made?
No you will more than likely forget what you have done the time you made those promises.

-Will they get you through the problems you are going through?
No, because as soon as the drugs and alcohol wear off, you will remember why you are hurting. The 5 mintues of plessure, no. As soon as that is done, you wont have something to get your mind off your problems.

-Will they give you words of encourgement?
No, because those things can't talk.

How can you answer yes to all these questions?

By having faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

He will give you all the encourging words you need. Will he keep those promises? Ofcourse, us humans may not be perfect, but God sure is! He tells us that once we are saved we are his, he will never leave you or forsake you. That is true. Once you are saved, hes yours. forever. No matter what sins you may commit. Jesus is the most forgivable person. The other question was, will it geet you through your problems? Yes, You can pray and hope for better things, Jesus will always be a help to you. Cry unto the Lord and your blessings will be recieved.

friendships.. coming and going

It all started in 2nd grade. I met this girl. She was so funny and we connected instantly. I thought the world of her. She moved in 5th but came back to my school later on. We kind of lost touch in 6th grade but reconnected in 7th and 8th. Thats when everything went down hill. I started hanging out with people I should have never hung out with. They didnt like her, and They got me in trouble. As a bestfriend would do, She told me to stop hanging out with them because they would get me in trouble. Of course I just ignored it. Pretty soon we just quit talking completely. I lost one of the most amazing girls I have ever met. In 9th grade she decieded to go to the Surry Early College, so of course I never saw her. This year she is back. Something I didnt expect. This girl is funny, sweet, caring, and thoughtful. and becuase I thought it would be better to hang out with other people, I made wrong decesions... i miss her. of course I'm not going to go up to her and say that. But I hope she reads this, and knows it is about her. I dont know whats going on in her life now but I know I will never forget who my true friend was. Who only wanted to look out for me.

-The reason I wrote this, is because today I finally seen her. She accidently bumped into me, and said "Oh I'm sorry Sydney." Even though, it there wasn't much said. I felt so good to know that she does remember me.
You should never leave the person that means the most to you to hang out with people who will make you have more "Fun" Stay with the true friend who you know is always there. I dont even talk to the person I chose over her. It was a waste of time choosing someone like that.

To that girl:
-I miss you. So Much
-You always brightend my day, you always put a smile on my face. I loved that you always stood up for what you believed in.


I will never forget you.

Bible Quote!

Psalms 3:3-6

But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head. I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people. Who have set themselves against me all around.

What does this mean?

- My God is the one I cry to and praise. All my glory is in his name. God hears my cries and answers my prayers. I could never serve a better Lord.

Today I started getting little noted from Abby Altrath. To help encourge me, and build me up. I wanna thank her for being such an amazing christain women. I love lifting her up and I love that she lifts me up.

Thank you God, and Thank you Abby (:

Body Copies.

I'm terrible at these things. I dont know how to start them or finish them.. i suck :(

Just thought id let the blogger world know this (:

To Tyler.

I know write about him a lot. but today i need too.

Dear Tyler,

I'm sorry for worrying all the time
I'm sorry for not always being the best girlfriend I can be.
I'm sorry for letting you down sometimes.
I'm sorry for saying things i dont mean.
I'm sorry for being the cause of most of our fights.

Those are just a couple of sorry's.

I'm not everything you could possibly want in a girl.. but i'm trying. If i have evere once acted like i didnt wanna be with you im sorry. I do wanna be with you. But most of all i wanna be a better girl friend. You have been everything i have ever wanted and nows the time i do the same. I dont wanna push you away...

I promise to stop all these things so i wont have to say im sorry anymore..


"Hey Tyler"
Hey Tyler, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we were talking
I didn't say half the things I wanted to

Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself

Hey Tyler, I've been holding back this feeling
So I got some things to say to you
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I never seen nobody shine the way you do

The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?
I think you and I should stay the same

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself

They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine

Hey Tyler, I could give you fifty reasons
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well, they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you?

I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself

If you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself

Myself
Can't help myself
I can't help myself

 Well that might have been lame but i think his name fits in there (:

Being a teenager.

Falling in love, fighting with your best friend, or trying to fit in.

Being in High School is difficult but hey im dealing.
Sophomore year was a change for me. I fell in love with an amazing guy who never lets me down, got so much better in school, got saved, became friends with people I thought disliked me.  

Freshman year was a mistake for me.. A guy liked me and i was too stupid to figure out he would soon be the love of my life. You might be thinking.. "She's way to young to be saying she's in love." I know i am young but i took a chance for the first time with Tyler Pardue, i let my gaurd down and allowed my self to take chances, And guess what.. everything has turned out GREAT!

Bestfriend part... Well i finally let the people who got me in trouble go. I became friends with the people i disliked and who disliked me. But what girls don't fight.. I finally got away from all the trouble and got right with everything and everyone.

Change may be scary but it sure has turned my life around...

I guess what I'm trying to say is.. Take a chances. It may turn out better!

The Teen Camp i miss.

2 Months and a few weeks ago I went to one of the most amazing places I could ever go.

You may be thinking an Island or an amazing beach.. but that's not where I went to.

I went to my first Teen Camp in Candor, North Carolina.

One week in an amazing place, with amazing people, serving God. A Tuesday night 11:00, A girl gave her testimony to the cabin. She was telling us how she thought she was saved at one point and then she felt like she lost it, then one day she gave here whole heart to Jesus. I began to cry, and shaking. Something hit me. If i was to die in that moment I would have went straight to hell. It was scary.. The girl asked someone to pray.. she looked over at me, and saw the condition I was in and asked me to come outside with her. I told her that i was not saved and she told me all i had to do is trust in Jesus and ask him to save me. I began to pray harder then I ever have. God came into my July 5th and Teen Camp.

I Felt Jesus come over me so fast.. Teen camp was liffe changing for me. I will never forget how I got saved, or the people I met.

I'm so thankful that I have Jesus in my heart and I will never have to worry about where I'm going when I die.

Cant wait for next year (:

Heres to the best night EVER!

Lastnight me and tyler celebrated valentines day and our 6 months (:

First we did a little shopping with the family, then went out to eat, but the best part was going to the movies. 

Our first date was at the Grande in Winston. So we decided to go back there and celebrate. We wached Just Go With It. (Great movie) He payed for my ticket like the gentleman he is. We walked into the movies and sat down, We kinda re-traced our steps like it was the first time again. When the movie was over we went back to my house. I gave him his present, which was a season of the office cause he is obsessed! He gave me my present. Which was by far the best gift ever! he got me a sock monkey, and 6 roses with a note tied on each of them, talking about each month together, so of course i cried when i read them. But overall we had a great day and night!

Tyler: Thank you for this girft, for an amazing night, and a great 6 months. You have made me so happy and i dont know what id do without you!
Happy Valentines Day (:

-I love you <3

 

Here's To God!

God; Thank you for being amazing! Point blank.

He's been there for my family more times then i count, My dad use to be your ol' regular teenager, who didnt care about life. Just making it day to day. in 1997 he got saved, a few years later he became a preacher! Best thing that has ever happend to this family.

Every since he got called to preach he has been a changed man. I thank God for giving me parents who can teach me about God and Take me to church.

This last couple of weeks have been an eye opener for me. I've been getting closer to God, Reading out of my bible more. And being happy about going to church. Something told me that i needed to get closer to God, and the only way i could do that is by praying and reading my bible. But it didnt just hit me all of the sudden. When i went to Tyler's church, his teacher taught on how to be a better Christan, it showed me that maybe i wasnt really close to God and that i needed to become closer. I'm so glad i went with him that night! My dad has been helping me and now I feel Extremely close to God.
