What my blogspot name means

Hey guys and gals!  Today I'm going to tell you what my blog name means.
last spring I lost all of my friends due to me standing in what I believe in.  I was really struggling with the fact that the only person I had to talk to was my siblings and my mom and dad. I didn't have any clue why God would let all the friends I  had for 13 years just disappear out of my life and want nothing to do with me. I went a month of literally never talking to anybody but my family and being extremely angry that God would let something like that happen. I spent a lot of that time in my room being angry and writing. I finally got over the madness and anger I was holding towards God and I broke down crying and felt so terrible for blaming God for something like this. I spent a good hour praying and asking for forgiveness! when I was praying I asked God when will I have friends again? I no joke heard a voice saying "just wait". Now, I've never really had an experience where God has talked to me, so when this happened I had complete faith in God and felt extremely content with this whole situation. Sure enough I was invited to something homeschool related and met these incredible people! I no joke have 10 bestfriends that I can trust and that love me no matter what I do or say.
God fulfilled his words and i couldn't be any more grateful for that. remember when you've lost all hope in God or just life in general God can always turn it around and make your life even more amazing!

Hey guys! I decided to talk to you guys a little bit about dating and courtship. I've never had a boyfriend before, but I have had several boys ask me out. I'm basically the queen of rejecting boys. yes, I know that sounds super arrogant, but I promise its not meant to sound that way! Our family's dating rules have always been kind of strict, but not super strict. I wasn't aloud to date until I was 14. Honestly now that I am old enough to date, I really feel like God doesn't want me to date... when a boy asked me out and I gave him my honest answer about how I feel God doesn't want me to date. He thought I was just using it as an excuse to not go out with him. He honestly is the guy that if I felt like God wanted me to date I totally would date him. I'm gonna tell you a story from when I was 11. I know that was only 3 years ago, but boy oh boy have I changed! I was the stage manager for a historic reenactment. one of the cast members who was 3 years older than me kept asking me out. I kept trying and trying to decline him, but it never made him stop!! somehow he ended up getting my number. I still have no clue how he got it. I have a feeling it was his sister, but she claims she didn't give it to him. Anyways, i thought that after the reenactment was over he'd leave me alone. He still kept calling and asking me out... my parents thought it was so funny! I on the other hand didn't!! I should've been a little more harsh from the start. Now in the time we live in boys think girls are easy and they will date anyone. i think that is so sad! He finally got the hint last spring (two years later) and left me alone. comment down below what your dating rules are! Trust me I want to know! Mine are; you have to be 14, obviously no kissing, side hugs only and can never be alone with him. Most girls my age would think that these rules are stupid and a waste of time, but i have a different point of view. Think of it this way, every boyfriend you have you are giving away a piece of your heart then when you find the one you want to spend the rest of your life with you won't have anymore of your heart to give away because you had so many boyfriends. I don't know its just a thought! thanks for reading and leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments!

Hey guys! I haven't blogged for a good while! It feels so good to be writing again. I'm just gonna update you guys again... I hope you guys don't mind all of the updates!

lets start with Christmas! Christmas was super fun, but for some reason I've been struggling with Christmas for about 5 years. My great grandma died 5 almost 6 years ago, so it just hasn't been the same. lets start with Christmas eve! on Christmas eve my grandparents came over and we ate and watched a few movies, it was super fun. Then we had to go clean the church after the candlelight service. Christmas morning we woke up and we made cinnamon rolls. they were so good! we then hung around until about 11 when my grandparents got there and we opened our presents. This year we decided not to do stockings and we just got 1 gift from our parents. I got a super, super nice violin. I'm super excited for that because I've needed a new one for sure. my aunt then came over with my two cousins and we talked and ate. that basically sums up our Christmas. New years eve we tried to have a party, but that all kind of fell through. we stayed home and watched movies and ate way, way, way to much sugar.  None the less we had a blast, but when the clock struck 12 we all went to bed. we have been on winter break and we only have 2 days left and I don't want to hit reality yet. on Monday I'm giving a speech with my friend, so I'm excited for that. my New Years resolutions are to read the whole bible, finish my book, take a picture everyday of 2017, get my league titles back. my biggest one is to be a happy person who makes people smile when they see me. Everybody now a days seem sad and I don't like seeing that and not doing anything about that. my goal is every time I go into public I want to make at least 1 person smile or laugh! also, I failed my drivers test. I'm gonna try to write at least once a week, but no promises.
PEACE, LOVE , HAPPINESS, CONTENTMESS AND CONTROL! LOVE, REESE!
