First of all, happy birthday Anna!
What made me mad:
I've been, well, wanting a few things lately. And of course, to get those things, I need money don't I? Well, my family doesn't know any people who need kids to be babysat for....so I thought I would get some advice on how to find a "job" sort of nannying, I guess you could say, or a mother's helper. So I asked on Yahoo! Answers, how I could find someone in need through something online, at the age I am (Almost 14). Some of the answers were kind and helpful. Others, however:
"As a parent i wouldn't hire you to be a nanny at your age because you don't have enough experience with kids enough to fully understand caring for little ones. It's not all playing games and fun."
Okay....when did I say it would be all fun and games? When did I say I was immature and did not understand kids? And when did I say I wanted to be a full-time, home-alone nanny? Never, is the answer to those questions. And what makes me angry is, this answer seemed so randomly written that I got the "vibe" this person just wanted to pick on someone. It's sad how that is.
Anyway! The thing that made me happy:
Last night was youth group, and instead of a testimony we had prayer requests and a small circle. I shared the story of my friend who is an atheist....and how he won't listen to anything I say about God. I asked them to help me influence him without words. And I got encouragement!
Also on Friday night, before Mulan opening night, I got a few Christian friends in a circle and we prayed, one by one, and somehow the word spread and soon we had at least 15 kids in the circle. My friend (who is the non-smiling type) came up to me, smiling, and asked me if it was me who got that together to which I answered "Yes." He responded with "Good." I felt proud that it all came together like that.
Well that's my thoughts for the day. I'll post when I have something interesting to say.....

Restarting
I just deleted all of my posts because I don't like them. I don't like how my blog has been so far, so I'm starting anew. I'm starting from the beginning and telling you all about myself.
My name is Emma, I'm a home-schooled eighth grader who will be fourteen on March 22nd. I am a devout Christian, God comes first in my life, no matter what. I live in a fairly big family; we are all happy and close and I am thankful for that. I have my parents, and my 3 siblings: Anna (22 as of 1/31) who recently got married and moved to D.C. with Jeremy, my brother-in-law. She is a mother figure to me, and I miss her more then anything in the world, but I know she's happy with her new husband! There's Evan (20) who is like me, he likes to act on stage. He lives in Iowa at Dordt College at the moment. I of course miss my big brother; he is so unlike other brothers out there, because he's nice to his sisters! Lastly there's Laura (18) my only sibling left at home. She's girly but sporty, active and an (over) achiever. She works at DSW and for a shoe-lover like me the discounts are awfully nice.....LoL!
That is my family. Now for me. I love love love acting and singing on stage. I do plays 3+ times a year and nothing else. I want to be on broadway in Chicago when I grow up so much, so badly, and as of now the main music I listen to is broadway soundtracks, especially dark and tragic ones. Don't ask me why, because I'm not a dark person at all. I love other people and little kids especially. Speaking of kids, I have a little "blood sister" named Adrianna who my family babysits all summer and on Christmas and Spring break. We're very close. Other things I like is photography!!!!!! And music, dancing, babysitting, nature, animals, movies, poetry........
Yes now, that's Emma, I have told you about myself. Let the blogging begin!!!
