February was great. Valentine's Day, snowboarding, getting to go see my sister for her birthday and the snow. Also, I got to read one of the best books ever! Unwind is a Young Adult novel written by Neal Shusterman. I got it from my best friend, and she said, "I know you're going to love it!" Well, I did. Read it in less than two days. I highly recommend it (Pardon the mild language.).
It's the second week of Lent and there's two main things I gave up: Soda and computer time. The only time I can get on the computer is if I have all of my schoolwork for the day done. Let's say that it's working really well. Another thing that I'm doing is praying more. A lot more. So interesting how if you motivate yourself to do things, it works! Frying pans! who knew, right?
Ever since the beginning of Lent, I've had a different attitude towards school. There's a reason teens aren't in college, getting jobs (most of us, anyways) or starting families. You need to go through high school, because it preps you for college, etc. in a way. High school can be the worst years for a lot of people... But remember this:
When all of the hurt and pain comes our way, it's really God chiseling away at us. He's making us into who we really are for when we join Him in Heaven. He's perfecting us, in a way.
Don't give up hope, don't stray away from God and always love. God will bring you through, no matter what.
"Have pity on me, Lord, for I am weak;
heal me, Lord, for my bones are trembling.
In utter terror is my soul—
and you, Lord, how long . . . ?
Turn, Lord, save my life;
in your mercy rescue me."
Psalm 6:3-5
Call a friend, draw a picture and say an extra prayer or two.

New Blog {Valentine's Day}
My old blog, A Writer and Her Horses, got hacked, so I had to delete it.
It's nearly Valentine's Day, and I know that some people are freaking out about being single. God gave this world to us, out of love and He also sent His only Son to die for us... That's a whole lot of love, if you ask me. So, this Valentine's, single or not, go out and love. Give someone a piece of paper, saying that they look fabulous and should smile. Give out packs of candy on a street corner, wave and smile at a stranger, and be happy.
Don't look at Valentine's Day as 'that day for couples and wedded people to be all lovey-dovey'. Look at it as a day to love people in general. Be outgoing and don't get down about being single... Because God is writing your love story. Give Him the pen and He'll take it the rest of the way.
With that, I leave you with this video that a dear friend of mine put together.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Smile at a stranger, sing along to a song and spin in a circle.
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
