yeah, that pretty much sums it up! I am obviously destined to be sick all my life. I simply must learn to bear always being sick for the rest of my life. (of course, that doesn't mean I gotta stop complaining, and trying to make people pity me). :) Anyways, I'm sick......again! I've got a stupid, dreaded, raging, sore throat, a bit of congestion, a stiff and sore neck, very, very, slight cough(that's at least one plus!) and am completely exhausted and out of it! But I was able to do my school work today, and yesterday, so you can all cheer for me! Thankfully, I don't have a fever, only had a very, very, very, slight one yesterday; not really a fever, actually, it was simply a tiny bit higher. Unfortunately, I have been getting chills and heat flashes. Yesterday, for most of the day, I was freezing. Towards the end of the day I was switching between feeling like I was burning up, and feeling like I was in Antarctica! Today it's been off and on. What stinks the most though, is this constant, never letting up for even half an hour, or ten minutes, switching from sharp to dull, painful sore throat! NOTHING will make it go way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've tried gargling lemon juice, gargling a vinegar/salt/warm water/ concoction, drinking tons of hot, honey/lemon tea, drinking carrot/apple juice, drinking honey and lemon juice heated up together. I even tried carrot/garlic juice, cause my mom said she read that garlic juice was a great cold/infection healer..........uh, yeah right! She was just trying to kill me, sneakily!!!!!!!!! My mouth and throat burned so bad! My eyes watered it burned so much! I gagged and almost pucked, and my stomach was instantly upset!!!!!!! Needless to say, I will not be trying that remedy again! I'd rather be sick!
At least I haven't gotten too tired, yet from this virus or whatever it is. A sick Cara, who doesn't get enough rest and is completely, totally, exhausted.........is not good! Generally, that is when she blows up on her friends, goes off on someone who did nothing at all, and burst into tears. It's hard to keep one's emotions in check when they are sick, grumpy, and tired!
sigh! I hope I'm better by tomorrow!

Destined to be sick all my life.....

Another song......
This is a song I wrote to the tune of 'His Eye Is On The Sparrow', which is one of my many favorite hymns.
Verse 1:
I was so faint and thirsty, my soul was parched and dry.
I was so worn and weary, tears came and filled my eyes.
I cried out to the Savior, He heard my desperate plea.
Now I have found redemption, and my soul has been set free.
Now I have found redemption, and my soul has been set free.
Chorus:
I'll praise His name forever, with joy, on bended knee ,
For I have found redemption, and my soul has been set free.
Verse 2:
Jesus directs my life now, my soul is light and free.
I have a hope and fortress, no one can take from me.
Now my life has a purpose, for Jesus paid my sin's fee.
Oh, I have found redemption, and my soul has been set free.
Oh I have found redemption, and my soul has been set free.
Chorus:
I'll praise His name forever, with joy, on bended knee ,
For I have found redemption, and my soul has been set free.
Verse 3:
Now when the storms assail me, Jesus is my shelter,
He'll never leave me ever, He's there when gales occur.
In Him I safely do trust, my Lord and Savior is he,
Since I have found redemption, and my soul has been set free.
Since I have found redemption, and my soul has been set free
Chorus:
I'll praise His name forever, with joy, on bended knee ,
For I have found redemption, and my soul has been set free

PRAY!!!!!!!
All I'm asking is for you to fall on your knees and start praying. In fact, you don't even have to fall on your knees, just pray! Pray for God's will to be done; pray for God to be glorified and praised whatever the final result; and pray for a miracle! I found about the sad news a few minutes ago, so yes, the news is delayed, since I don't follow this blog regularly, though I check it from time to time. But I can not imagine the pain and agony the parents must be feeling right now. And I can not help hoping and praying that God will preform a miracle and reawaken little Kayleigh and heal her. I know that He can, and that He is able, if it be His will.

Mr. Darcy and Lizzy..........
I wrote this a while ago, while reminiscing the Pride and Prejudice story, having just bought and watched the BBC movie.(which rocks, by the way!!!!!!) It was my take on the movie and on Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet's feelings.
She never thought that she could feel this way
Never thought she could fall for such a man as he,
Why, he was everything she abhorred,
Proud, conceited, and arrogant, that was his way.
What was this feeling shooting through her?
She had despised, why didn't she now?
How could she love this man,
This man who use to disgust her?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
He had loved her most passionately and ardently,
But she had refused to even consider him.
Said he was the last man on earth she'd ever marry.
Her words had crushed him.
But now she was back, he had another shot, though slim.
She had said he was not a gentleman, he'd prove her wrong.
He still loved with a burning passion,
For her, he did still long.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
His altered character, his kind, friendly ways,
perhaps they were what had brought love.
She saw him in a new light,
Now he was what she thought of.
But now she had now hope, shame had seen to that,
She knew now she'd never see him again.
All hope for a second chance was gone,
Now that disgrace had been done.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
He'd seen her vulnerable, and helpless,
She'd told him of her distress, why her tears flowed.
The fault was his, he'd fix it,
And off he rode.
His anger was kindled, he searched for the man,
the man who'd hurt him, and now the woman he loved.
He made things right, he fixed it up.
He'd done it for his beloved.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
She couldn't understand it, he'd done so much for her.
Her family was indebted to this man,the man who....
she was falling in love with....
the love she had fallen into.
She had to thank him, she had to find a way.
He had done so much for her, and she wasn't sure why.
Could it be he still loved her?
She wouldn't let her hope's raise that high.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
He had finally asked again, she had said yes.
He couldn't believe it, that she was to be really his.
That she loved him and wanted him,
Oh, she would soon be his!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
He still loved her, was this real, how could this be?
He had asked her again, she had gladly said yes.
This feeling was just to good to be true,
Her joy she couldn't suppress.
Her Past
staring at the girl in the mirror, staring back at her.
She hates who she is and the life that she lives
Her life is a mess, a fast paced horrid dirty blur.
She can't get away from all of her past,
Why can't she emerge, why can't she get away.
She keeps trying and trying, but her past holds her fast.
She throws her hands up in the air in despair,
sinks to her knees and cries to the Lord, begging for help.
“Jesus I'm sinking, Jesus I'm stuck please help.
Cause I can't do this on my own, Oh please God, please help.
Her Father in heaven, looking down from above
reaches down to help her, pity in His loving eyes.
Softly He whispers, “ Oh My child, don't you cry,
I'll carry you through this, on My shoulders you will rise!”

He's alive!!!!!!
Sunday, as you know, was Easter(Resurrection Sunday, whatever you want to call it) and we celebrated it the only way our family can celebrate things..........with lots and lots of food!!!!!!!! We are, after all, baptists! :) To start the day off, we attended church, where mom and I sang an Easter song which we wrote together. Mom also played the piano for the song. The choir also sang a song from the cantada which they did last Sunday night. After church, we headed down to my grandparent's friends house, where the family was gathering. By the way, if you ever are hungry, just go to one of our family gatherings. Trust me; you'll get your fill of food, as well as kindness and love! Anyway, it was a wonderful day, full of fun, food, and family. I ate way too much, enjoying my favorite family gathering dish.........Apple sauce with red hots in it! I also ate like, three pieces of strawberry cheese cake, apparently trying to grow fat!
The fun actually began two days before Easter though, when my Aunty Lynn came up for a tea party! It was great fun and after we ate, Aunty even cut my hair!!!!! She also gave Samantha some layers, which look quite nice! I will post pictures of my new hair cut soon!
In other news, right now as I am typing up this post, it is snowing outside, and my mom is moving the Suburban down our driveway because of it. I THOUGHT IT WAS SPRING!!!!! What is up with this!? Oh well. I bet God's up there laughing at us, messing with the weather, just to show those global warming freaks/idiots that HE is in control of the weather! And He knows what He is doing! He does NOT need help!
Well, I guess that is my little dinky short Easter post. My mom's is better, longer, and complete with photos, so you'll have to go here for more about the tea party and Easter, if you are interested and unsatisfied with my post! :)
ttfn, Ta ta for now!
(here is the song that Mom and I sang; and wrote!)
They spat upon Him
scorned Him and mocked His name
And then they hung Him
And this old world, would never be the same
They were filled with hate,
laughingly they beat Him,
Humbly He met His fate
As the nails pierced His hands and the light in His eyes grew dim.
Chorus
He was the Son of God, blameless and pure,
No wrong had He done, and yet they crucified Him,
They thought that they had destroyed Him,
But what they didn't realize, was three days later He would rise!
With love in His eyes
He forgave them all as he died
while darkness filled the skies
He drew his last breath and his loving mother cried.
He was laid in a tomb,
it was over and done they said.
But three days later
the tomb was bare, He had risen from the dead
Chorus
He was the Son of God, blameless and pure,
No wrong had He done, and yet they crucified Him,
They thought that they had destroyed Him
But what they didn't realize, was three days later He would rise!
Tag:
It's because He died that I live.
It's because he rose that I can have hope!
Ending Chorus:
He is the Son of God, mighty and strong,
He's coming again, to take His children home
To mansions He has prepared
The trumpet will sound, the sky will open and He will come!

Ola, amigos!
Today, we went to Mexico! Yup, we went there and back all in one day. We've decided that it saves money, if we go there for our grocery shopping, and so this morning, after breakfast and Bible time, we headed down. For those of you who may be wondering if I finally cracked, and am completely and totally loco now, 'Mexico', is Jackson's word for 'Costco'. He insists that it is really called 'Mexico' and refuses to call it 'Costco', getting upset if anyone calls it by it's proper name. It is really quite funny! I love that little guy! Anyway, it was a rather long day, but it was fun. We shopped for our groceries, and then after loading them in the car, got a hot dog and soda, for a buck, twenty-five for each hot dog and soda combined. Then we each got a Cherro before heading to Wal-mart for a few more things, and then home. I am very tired now though, and we are going to our church's 'Game night', so I guess I'll have to wake up somewhat, and fix my down and somewhat foul mood. By the way, I would suggest never upsetting me or irritating me, or getting on my bad side when I'm tired or had a long day. You won't like the results, I assure you! Or when I'm stressed for that matter. A girl has her stress level! (that's why this girl takes Karate! There is nothing like beating the crud out of someone, or attempting to, to relive stress)!
