Commenting

Hey Ya'll,

    So....I've wanted to say this for a while. It's not illegal to comment on my blog. I know shocking right? Some of you have but only when it's directed at you. Just so you know, I LOVE reading comments. Knowing that something I wrote amuses or touches you makes my day. Seriously, if you have any comments, questions, stories, or random knock-knock jokes, feel free to put them in a comment :) Or send them here if they are super long or you don't want the world seeing them: littlepurpleipod@gmail.com

  Happy commenting (yes, I expect some of you to start commenting)! -Bailey

New Years...Let it all out!

I have officially decided....that I will not have any New Year's resolutions. I can never keep them, and why should you make resolutions every year for things you should have been doing anyway? So, I have nothing more than to live life louder (Hawk Nelson fans holla ;) ). Why hold it all in, when you can let it all out?! I'm just gonna live life to the fullest, and for God's glory. Let's see what happens :) See ya'll next year! -Bailey

What a lovely season...

Ready for some random ramblings? Hey, look! Alliteration....my teacher would be proud. Anyway, this is amazing. I'm actually writing a post. Oh, gosh....now I've lost my train of thought. I can't actually remember what I was going to write about.

 Ok, now I remember :) I was going to write about the season! We just finished Christmas (which was awesome btw), and all the holiday excitement is almost over. Only New Years remains...sadness. But this is also the perfect time to remember that we don't just have to wait until Christmas or Easter to celebrate Jesus Christ. While everyone would like you to think that Jesus is closest to you when you are having a great time over the holidays, he is closest to you when you need him most. Or when you just ask for him to be with you. Christmas is the time we celebrate his coming with the world, but why not celebrate his coming every day? Why not remind yourself that what he came for and celebrate his life, death, and Resurrection every time you open your eyes in the morning or take a breath during a stressful day?

  This season is beautiful, that is for sure. But we can have Christmas or Easter every day! Doesn't that sound lovely?! With the season of life that I'm in, nothing seems to go horribly wrong. But that doesn't mean that it never will. So I draw close to God when everything is going great, so I know how to draw even closer when things go badly. And being close to God is the greatest thing ever...ever! Knowing that the Most High loves you and cares for you is so amazing. And it seems more amazing every day. Not just at Christmas.

  So, dear readers, I encourage you to make every day a day for celebration. Even when things go wrong...celebrate in the love of Jesus Christ. And if you are reading this now and have never felt the love of Christ, here's what I have to say. Think of the happiest moment in your life...now multiply that joy by a million. That's what kind of happiness God gives you. And feeling his presence, his gentle touch in the dark as you lay in bed thinking of the day to come, that's the most wonderful feeling ever.

   Try to love him like he loves you. You won't succeed...he loves you too much :) But celebrate his coming, and what he did for you, every day. It'll help you love him more.

A little word...

To my dear friends,

Most of you probably won't read this but I don't care. This is for you! Each of you will get a little word that expresses a lot. If the reader doesn't get it, then it's probably for the best and you will most likely get it. If not...blonde moment. Here goes!

Alex: I will catch up to you!! (I would drive for a while once I get my permit!)

Alyssa: I will vote for you.

Arianna: No touchy!! Just kidding ;)

Alalisa: :P

Kaitlin: CALL ME!!

Kendall: I really should write a novel shouldn't I?

Neeley: Remember to bring the white cheddar cheese it's and smoothies flavored jelly beans!

Brianna: Carryin' the banner home free all!!

Abbie: If I'm not dead then I'm there for you.

Blaise: He is very pudgy.

Melanie K: You have no idea how much you encourage me :)

Now for the guys:

Grant: I'm still faster :)

Jack: I don't care if you are a year and a day older!!

Dennis: Spicy? Really?

Josh: the king's speech. We need to watch it soon.

Henry: You make a terrible public schooler

Brient: The preying mantis you ate is endangered. Well it was.

To anyone I missed, terribly sorry but maybe I wanted to give you your small word in person :)

I'm back (maybe)

Oh goodness it's been a long time, friends. I miss writing out whatever I want and having people read it from all over the world. It's great to see the views from germany and Russia and all those othe places! And getting new followers to share my life with. So let's start with an update. Well I'm finishing up my first semester of 10th grade and it has been so much fun!! I really love learning about everything I can get my hands on...except for maybe math. Anywho, I promised to tell you about meeting a movie star so here's the story: Real Steel was just coming out an there was a benefit screening (charity) of te movie with an appearance from Hugh Jackman!So we went, hoping to see him and at best talk to him. He got out of his car and beat feet over to say hello to all the people waiting to see him...including me!! He was really nice and even took a picture with me! And that's my little story of well, startstruck wonder :p I'll post the pictures later since I'm on my iPod now and can't get to it.

Farewell children! I've missed you and hopefully I will return! And don't forget that you are all in my prayers :)

As you've probably guessed :)

Hello Peoples.


  As you have probably figured out, I haven't been blogging lately. Haha yah that's not obvious. I am just SUPER busy with swimming, school, and everything in between. Nothing major has changed and nothing exciting has happened...except for I met Hugh Jackman, but that's another story. Just want you to know that for a little while longer my posts will probably be few and far between. I feel bad not putting anything up here, but what can I do? Thanks for understanding, and maybe (if I can finish my homework :)) I'll post the story about my movie star meeting.
