Hello all. =)

So, the other day I was listening to the our MP3 player. And it was a playing a song I know very well, This is your life by Switchfoot. And I was singing along without thinking about it. Then I suddenly started think about what I was singing. Here is the song:

This is your life by Switchfoot:

"Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you've got now
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be?
This is your life are you who you want to be?

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

And you had everything to lose"

And it made me really look over my life and think. I mean, is my life right now everything I have hoped or dreamed of? Am I perfectly completely happy with my life? Then I realized, you know I am happy with my life. Perfectly happy. Am I really who I want to be? And I realized, I am exactly who I want to be. And I realized that my dreams for the future aren't just some immpossible thing to maybe accomplish someday, they are within reach. I mean, in a few more years, I will be graduating High School and will be going to college. And then I can be whoever I want to be. And I can be whoever I want to be now. I can make myself into the person that I want to be. And I realized, I am exactly the person I want to be. My life revolves around Jesus and that is what makes me perfectly happy. Now, let me ask you a question. Are YOU who you want to be? Is your life what you want it to be? Just a thing to get you thinking.

Thoughts for today

So I've been thinking about the verse in the bible "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Yes, it is this topic again). And I was thinking, you know, what of the people that I really don't get along with? Or the people that I really don't like? (Yes, I admit, I am human. There are people I don't like. lol) But what am I supposed to do about it? Am I supposed to pretend to be there friend but still not like them? I mean, yes, I know I'm not supposed to not like anyone. But there are some people that I just don't get along with. Maybe the way to love them like myself is to avoid them, so as to not get on their nerves? lol, probably not. But am I supposed to pretend to get along with them, when I really don't? Isn't that being two-faced? I hate it when people pretend to be my friend, then I find out that they really aren't. With some of them, I just avoid them, with others, I pretend to be their friends. And I really do try to get along with them. I guess the best way is to just show love, even if you don't feel it? Or make yourself like them? I'm not sure. Any thoughts?
