lonely

sometimes i fell lonely in this world. there it is. the word "lonely". lonely- sad because one has no friends or company. I have been lonely lately. i have had some trouble with some friends at school. one person has been mad at me for a while. she has now gotten one of my friends to turn away form being my friend. that girl has gotten another girl, Skylar, who is in all of my classes, to be "mad" at me. the one who took Skylar from me is now trying to get me to have no friends. i don't have friends in most of my classes that i can sit with and talk to because of the strict seating chart in all of my classes. i fell lonely most of the time. it is hard for me to have friends and even harder for me to find them because of my ad/hd and other symptoms. i love it when i find a friend. but it is kind of hard when i find out the friend was never a real friend. it is VERY hard for me. it causes me to fell lonely. i still have a few good friends, though, i hardly git to see them. i do, however, have one TRUE friend that will never leave me. he is ALL of my classes. he never will betray me. he does not want me to fell lonely. and i have realized, as long as he is my best friend, i will NEVER fell lonely. that him is God. i can always be happy as long as i have god. he will never give me evil looks, or sling hurtful comments at me. whenever i fell lonely i just tell my self, no matter how many friends betray and turn away from being my friend, he will always be my friend. he is my light of joy in the darkness of sorrow. i just cling to my hope that i will make it to the light and have faith that god will lead me to him safely. he is my joy when i am lonely.

every week or so, i will start to post a chapter or so of a book i am wrighting on my blog. the story is called "Anna and Sue" it is verry intaresting i hope you enjoy it.





“wait up!” Anna called, but Sue was to far up the mountain to hear. “Sue? Sue? Where are you Sue?” there was a ruffling in the bush. “Sue, that’s not funny!” Anna said at the bush. All of a sudden a wolverine jumped out of the bush. “brahh” screamed Anna, as the stuffed toy landed on her chest. “ha ha ha” calked Sue. “that was not funny” said Anna shakily. “it was to me” declared Sue still laughing at Anna. “no it was not!” Anna screamed. “calm down you little baby.” laughed Sue. “I am NOT a baby. And you STOP calling me names and scaring me. It not nice.” yelled Anna. Who was truly getting tired of Sue picking on her. Anna and Sue had been friends for five years. They where now in 8th grade and where on a felid trip as partners. ”whatever” Sew cried back over her shoulder. “ are you coming or what, baby” Anna did not follow, but instead got up and went over to sit down on a rock. “ we don have time for resting. The rest center is just up the trail a little. Come on” Anna did not move from the rock. “I will not follow you. You are a big fat mean person.” Anna shouted to Sue. “now you really sound like a baby. Get up and get over hear now Ann!” yelled Sue with all her might. “no!” Anna yelled back. “now! Or I tell teacher.” Anna got up but did not walk up the trail to where Sue was. Instead she started to walk down the trail, back to where the empty busses where. Half way down she looked down at the friendship bracelet she made for her and Sue to where. She took hers and pulled her pocket knife out of her pocket, placed the blade up next to the bracelet and in one swift swipe, the bracelet fell to the ground. “stupid Sue!” Anna told herself angrily “or should I say Susan” she laughed. Then she kept on walking. When she got to the bus she leaned on a tree and waited for a group or two to come back.

playing a bigger game...

I love the game of football. I owe that to my dad. My dad is man of very few words. Growing up I never heard him say much. But, when he was watching football he had a voice. A loud one. I saw passion and heart in my father during football games. Thus, grew my love for football.

When I was around 5 or 6 years old, my dad would wake me up early on a crisp fall Saturday morning, dress me in an orange and white cheerleaders outfit, load me into the car that had been appropriately decorated with tiger paw magnets and orange and white flags that hung in the windows the night before. It would still be dark outside, we would grab a quick breakfast and travel Interstate 85 into Tiger Town. I always knew that we were getting close when I saw the huge tiger paws painted on the roads. I thought that was the coolest thing. Evidently, so did my grandparents, because, I also remember that they got in trouble one year for painting huge tiger paws down their neighborhood street. I guess its okay to have orange paws on the roads in tiger town, but not on a tree lined street in Lyman. Never-the-less, taking a trip to Clemson SC in the fall, climbing the stadium stairs that gives you a beautiful view of the mountains and Tilman Hall, chanting C-L-E-M-S-O-N with a fist roll and pause before the N, swimming in a sea of orange and white always gives me a sense of nostalgia.

So, Clemson had a great season this year, walking away with 10 wins, an ACC championship, and a trip to the Orange Bowl this past week. Which by the way was a major FAIL!!! What I liked best about Clemson football 2011/2012 was watching their head coach Dabo Swinney. What a young, vibrant, passionate coach, who is investing in his players and teaching them more than how to play football. I've noticed that Coach Swinney is playing a bigger game. He never lets an opportunity go by that he does not testify to the goodness of God. He shows that he is a man of Gods Word and voices it often. He believes in the game he's playing, and it runs deeper than pass plays and total yardage.

Now, here is the lesson I got from the brutal, devastating loss at the Orange Bowl. 70-33 was the final score, and it was NOT in Clemson's favor. They didn't just lose, they were stomped, embarrassingly. They were bowled over. hammered. kicked in the face. left for dead.

In a press conference after the game a question was asked of Coach Swinney. "Coach, what do you say to your players in the locker room after a game like that?" Coach Swinney's response was something like, you know it is what it is, it was devastating, such stuff like that. But, this is the statement that rung out to me. He said, "I told them that I love them." and I thought when I heard that, "you know that's a lot like God.

Sometimes, I play with ALL heart and passion. I grab the ball and I run with it. I listen and do exactly what I'm suppose to. I'm efficient and effective at making the score. I live with total victory. And, God tells me that He loves me.

But often, I get sacked back behind the line. I drop the ball. I turn things over to the wrong people. I run the wrong way. I fall far too short of the end zone. And I don't make the goal. Sometimes, I don't just fail, but I fail miserably. Just like Clemson in the Orange Bowl I get stomped embarrassingly. And, God tells me that He loves me. Do you know what is really interesting? It's during my worst failures that I hear His "I LOVE YOU" more clearly. more distinct. louder. It's what causes me to stand back up. get back in the game. play harder. stronger. better.

In the fall I will climb the steps of death valley again. I will gaze out over the mountains, and turn my head towards that hill, I will cheer loudly (just like my dad), and watch Dabo and his tigers play a bigger game than just football. I will remember that when someone asks God, "What do you tell her after a failure like that?" He will always say, "I tell her that I Love Her."

have you ever felt like you failed at something? Did you hear God say, "I Love You" If you did how did it change you?
