think about it.

Today I had a really amazing talk about God with a friend of mine. The both of us ended up in tears. We talked about how amazing He is. He has blessed me beyond what I deserve.
God is the ultimate King, lover, Creator, Father. It was something that I was having a hard time with understanding. Why does God love me? I'm a sinner. I don't love Him like I should, yet he loves me all the same. What did I do to deserve that kind of love?
This isn't one of my typical kinds of posts, I know, but right now I'm just happy and I feel gigantically blessed. So I just want to ask you to take the time to think about how amazing He is.
Blessings,
Maddie

im feeling old...

Hello everybody! Do you know that I absolutely love my blogging? I'm not on here much, I know, but when I have time and a good idea for a post you guys leave me the sweetest comments :)
This is going to be my second year of blogging!!! I think it's so crazy how time flies...
As you can tell by my post title, I am feeling old. I'm going to be sixteen in eleven days. Eleven days. I'm going to be able to drive. I'm going to be able to get a job. Where did that happy-go-lucky little girl go? The one who told herself that at sixteen she was going to have a prince as a boyfriend, a fancy car and a job as a rich actress? I used to be the pretty princess who dreamed of getting married and I was flinging have a big pink puffy wedding dress. I used to dream of being a dancer and actress.
Today, I don't feel old enough to be thinking about a significant other. Not even the slightest bit. 
I can't drive yet. I know how to drive, but I haven't gotten my permit. I haven't taken any classes to get my license. GOD just didn't have that planned for me.
I'm not quite the girly girl. I prefer blue to pink, and blue jeans to dresses.
I don't know how to dance. I'm scared of the stage. I can barely even play my guitar in front of people, no matter how much I love playing. My wedding dress is going to be simple and white. It's going to be hard to find a true prince among men.
Haha I guess I'm rambling, aren't I? I'm good at that. :)
But I'm just trying to get the thought of being sixteen into my head. It's crazy.
So whatever GOD plans for me, I pray that I may listen to what He wants and obey him.

I hope you guys have a great day!
Your friend,
Maddie
