The Day I Couldn't Sleep But Heard Something Amazing

It was getting late the other night and I knew I needed to get to bed so I wouldn't sleep late the next morning. Problem: I was SO wide awake. Instead of feeling like it was almost tomorrow, it felt like it was midday, around 3ish. I was downstairs chilling out with my puppy, watching T.V. Of course, she was sound asleep, but that's beside the point. 

Around midnight, I decided it was time for me to head up stairs and go to bed so I put my puppy in her crate. I, then, headed upstairs to my room. Got in my bed, turned out the lights, and closed my eyes. After a few minutes, I opened them. Why? Because I couldn't sleep worth my life. Like I said, I was SO wide awake. I turned over and turned on the lights and opened my Bible and started reading with my music playing in the background. Took some notes then I looked at some papers I was given awhile ago. I decided I needed to look them over and make a decision about them. (Long story about that.)

Then, I looked up at the clock. 1:17. I knew I should really get to bed. So, once again, I turned my lights out and closed my eyes. Still no luck. I turned the lights back on and decided I'll get some reading in. I've been reading a great book and I stopped for a while (don't know why, though.) I ended up reading two chapters.

I look up at the clock, again. 2:34 or after. (Can't remember exactly.) Now, I knew I really needed to go to bed. I put my book on my bed side table and turned out the lights. I closed my eyes and thought about what God showed me in His Word, as I went to sleep.

Having the feeling that night that I couldn't sleep at all was odd to me. But I really think God wanted to show me some things that needed to be brought to my attention. I knew that everyone in my house, including my puppy were sound asleep, but that doesn't mean that I have to be. Am I right?

GIVES ME PEACE

We all have something that calms us down and gives us peace. For me, music is the key thing that gives me peace. Whether it's listening to music or playing my guitar, it gives me peace. Reading the Bible gives me peace and writing anything in the world gives me peace. Bottom line, my hobbies are the things that gives me peace. Tell me what gives you peace.

BLESSED WITH FRIENDS

Lately, I've been thinking about the friends I do have. I have two groups of friends from church. I have friends from the Bible study I go to. I have friends from the home-school group I'm in. I have a few friends from the school I used to go to. They are all great friends! I'm so glad I met every single one of them! I've just never thought about how much I'm blessed I am when it comes to friends. I guess I always thought that people hang out with me because they want to hang out with my brother, but maybe I was wrong. My friends are the best! I love you guys/girls! : )

ABOUT ME

I thought I would talk about what I'm like so you can get to know me better. I'm not that great at telling people about me but I'll do my best. I love to play basketball or any sport. I used to play basketball when I was younger. I love kids! I just love being around them. They are one of my passions. My other passions are writing and playing guitar. I love going out and having fun with friends! I love to laugh. I laugh at the stupidest things. I listen to music everyday, well, pretty much whenever I can. Man, there's so much more that I can't think of. Ask me a question and I would be more than happy to answer it for you.

Have you ever thought about what we would be like without friends? Well, I just started to. We probably wouldn't be who we are today but who knows. Sometimes, we embarrass ourselves in front of friends because we are trying to impress them. Just think about who you have as friends and how they affect you.

BEHIND THE SCENES

So you may be wondering why the title of this is 'Writing My Own Story'. Well, I'm going to give you an answer so sit tight. I write about a lot of things like stories, songs, poems, and things like this. I've been working on two stories a lot lately. I took a break from writing my stories so I could write my own story. You know like living life and having a good time?!

I GAINED A LOT

I've realized that while I've gone through lots of tough things. I've gained some stuff since I quit my first job. When I had that job, it caused stress, frustration but most do, I suppose. After I announced that I was quitting, I changed my church (long story). From that church, I have made more friends, kinda. I don't talk to them much. Then my brother joined a new church so I went to visit. Thought it was really cool! The people are awesome! So though I have been through lots of rough times and somethings that are hard to explain, I have met some cool people that I'm proud to call my friends! 

You see, since I was little I was never good at making friends. I was the kid picked on, which no one likes. It seemed to me that no matter how nice and friendly I was no one wanted to hangout, be my friend, or even be friendly. I was the one that was in the corner that no one noticed. It was really hard for me but I got through it and I still am going through it. It's that i don't want some friends that are snobby; I just want some good friends that I can trust, count on, and talk to whenever I need a friend. 

So I'm saying that I'm blessed in ways that I'm not even sure about right now. I have a family that loves me very much, which I'm thankful for! Sometimes I need someone other than family to help me out and get advice from. I'm sure you know what I mean. Friends are cool, don't get me wrong, but I've never had a friend that I can count on like some people can. Most people have a best friend they can turn to and get advice. Well, I don't have a best friend... Don't get me wrong. I do have friends. I just don't have that friend that I call every night or day to talk to.
