I have to remember to cling to the Rock when there is so much around me crumbling.
Sometimes I wish it was easier for people (myself included) to see themselves in the light that their friends and loved ones see them in. Sometimes we are so hard on ourselves and critical of everything that it flaws our view. I know that I’m guilty of this all the time. It shouldn’t be so tough to see ourselves as beautiful inside and out. That’s how God made us right? I have...
The longest journey starts with the shortest step.
So I was sitting in the chapel, right...
thalliam:
I was thinking about world peace.
Suddenly a wild idea appeared!
What if -
every killing and hurting weapon in the world -
knives, axes, swords, pistols, rifles, missiles, bombs, mustard gasses, piece of glass, bully’s fist and limbs -
all turn into an iceberg lettuce at once.
That’s right. An iceberg lettuce.
Maybe world peace will be achieved. I don’t know.
Oh Will. How I...
Apparently his name is Larry.
Well, my parents had to call the police on our neighbor again last night. He was harassing my mom and being obscenely rude to her once more. The police suggested that she start keeping a log of what this guy does and file for a restraining order. If she were to do that, obviously the proximity kind of restraining order wouldn’t do much because the guy lives across the street from us and...
I just realized today was an over nineteen hour day. And only about an hour and a half maybe two hours of that was spent at home (which consisted of getting ready to leave and getting ready for bed). I am absolutely exhausted.
I don’t really even like running, but I would love to go for a long run right now. Forget all troubles and just run. Ha. Interesting, my accidental double meaning here.

Cinderella’s song “So This Is Love” is stuck in my head. How appropriate.
Gosh I hate nightmares. Even if they are completely irrelevant to my own life, they are still the worst.
I feel like such a weak person sometimes. Tears should not come so easily. Every single time I get upset or angry I can’t stop them. I hate feeling weak like that. I shouldn’t be so easy to break.
When your boyfriend calls you just to tell you he loves you. What’s better than that? I love him. ♥
Okay. I finished The Hunger Games today. I couldn’t put it down. I ordered the trilogy yesterday. But now I have to wait a whole weekkkkk! D: Though I thank God I started reading the books after they all came out, then I really didn’t have to wait between books like I usually have to.
I have to trust God. I have to trust God. I have to trust God. I have to trust God. I have to trust God. I have to trust God. I have to trust God. I have to trust God..
You know those dreams where everything you’re stressed out about all gets meshed into one dream, and you wake up feeling even more stressed out than when you went to bed? Yeah.
I have to admit. I’m struggling a lot lately.
I am so tired of people bothering me about my license. So I don’t freaking have it, leave me the hell alone and stop bothering me. Yeah, great idea to make fun of me, that’s real helpful.
Well, this is a first.
My dad’s trainer at the gym thought Nick was older than me. :/ Looking young sure is fun. (be sure to insert much sarcasm there)
Him and I have always looked young for our ages, but at twenty years old, this is really starting to get annoying. I’m pretty tired of comments like, “Oh my gosh I thought you were like, twelve!” -.-
I feel bad for my boyfriend who has to...
I wish it was one week ago today. I want to live that weekend again. I wish we had had more time together, I never felt quite like this. Usually I’m done by the end of the weekend. But I really miss those teens, especially my four. We had so much more to talk about.
It might be a good assuption to say that I won’t be able to transfer in the Fall unless I go to a school in Ohio.. Initially, that was my dream school. Now, it’s not as practical. I know I would love the school, and I actually really do want to go there. I just want to be a teacher in California, and I don’t know how practical it would be to go to a school out of the state....
I do not understand girls who wear lacy tops with just their bra, or something of the like. It’s like, “Uhhhh, hello?!” What is the thinking behind that? “Hey guys, I just wanted to make your job easier and leave nothing to the imagination.”
Bathing suit shopping for girls sucks. Not only is it a pain in the butt to find something that fits you and you ACTUALLY feel comfortable wearing, they’re so darn expensive!! It’s like, if you decide to get a two piece, which I do, you buy each piece separately. I’m looking at the suits for this year online to see what people have and what I want to start looking for, and...
Dear Trainer Dude at the gym yesterday,
You win.
Love, Maddie
PS: See you Thursday
I have to admit, I can’t wait until the stage in my life where I get to be a wife and mother. It’s really odd.
I am now officially addicted to Pinterest.. →
Running shoes are freaking expensive.
My logic teacher: “So you are walking in a field. You see some martians. You know they are from Mars because they have an “M” on their shirts. They ask you, “Where is your leader?” I say to myself: You can have my leader. He’s in DC.
Sure, I know you’re a Marine, but if I were you, I’d be scared of me. You’re the idiot who hurt my best friend. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY messes with her. And to not even have a valid reason? I just don’t understand, and in all honesty, I must point out that you don’t understand either. I can’t even begin to explain this. One thing I know is this: though it...
Today was one of those days where I was literally shaking. I don’t know if it was because I was nervous about taking a lab final, nervous about getting into a class, it just for no reason. But I actually had trouble functioning sometimes because my hands were shaky.
I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Much to my disappointment, it is only Wednesday.
God, I’m leaving this all up to You. I know You have a plan here. However, that doesn’t stop me from feeling anxious and scared sometimes. Please give me peace and help me to trust You and have faith.
You ask me how I’m doing, I’ll almost always tell you I’m good. Even though I’m absolutely imploding inside. Its easier than facing the truth.
82 Degrees? Say what?!
It is January and I wore shorts today. Yes, that’s right. Shorts. And yes, it is winter.
Had a good time with my best friend at the mall today. ♥
What in the world has Maddie been up to?
Okay, I haven’t really posted in quite a long time, so this will be my post that catches everyone up on my life.
Christmas Eve I spent with my dad’s side of the family at my Aunt Laura and Uncle Steve’s house. We usually spend it at my grandma and grandpa’s house, but grandma isn’t doing well since her stroke she had a few years back. Anyway, it was a great time with...

Maddie is MIA!!
Gosh I have been so bad I haven’t posted in days! I have a really long post coming on to fill you all in on how great life is.
One more thing. In my family we do all of our laundry together and then sort it all out. Sometimes your clean clothes will be just put into your room. It’s nice. However. Lately my brother and I have become about the same size. I’m always getting his shirts and pants. Understandable. Annoying sometimes, but understandable. But. One thing I don’t understand that gets put in my...
70 Christmas cards down, addressed and signed plus an 8 hour work day. Who is feeling accomplished right now? This gal. Who is feeling like an idiot for staying up so late to get more done? This gal. I have to stay up and sing at midnight mass tomorrow, then do the 7:00 and 9:00 in the morning. I’ll probably get three or four hours of sleep tomorrow. XD I am so excited for Christmas though!!...
I am officially on Christmas Vacation! Thank the Lord.
Sometimes it’s the people that are just trying to help that piss you off the most. It’s like, what am I supposed to say?
