Carry On

Well here I am about two weeks into summer and let's just say with 50 degree weather it hardly seems like summer vacation. I am not complaining. I'll pretend this is my spring break since my real one was filled with playing in the snow.

Anyways, it was my goal to fit in as much fun stuff into these two weeks that I could. Unfortunately most of my friends are busy or they are still in school. My fun stuff includes driving to South Bend to pick up my little sister with the windows rolled down and the music blasting. Or cleaning and organizing my entire room before my surgery on Thursday. And doing my hair and make up every day. Or spending countless hours watching Spongebob on Netflix (so much so that his voice is still in my head when I try to go to sleep at night Bahahahahaha (That was his laugh)). So today I decided to do something I love. I decided to pull out my laptop and write. My creativity has been flowing like crazy, and with all the movies I have been watching, I think I have some awesome ideas for a movie plot. (Although let'e be honest... a movie I would write would be so ADD and probably have no plot line, but hey at least I'm having fun.)

My surgery is on Thursday, as in tomorrow is Wednesday then comes Thursday. (Thank Goodness Rebecca Black taught me the days of the week!!) I am so anxious for this to be over! For those of you who don't know... this is a surgery that was supposed to happen last summer! All I can say is Praise God for sustaining me and carrying me through some super hard times this year. It was easy for me to want to lay in bed and not move, and there were times that I did that. But I could never give up. I never understand why people say they want to give up when they are going through something challenging. This is life. You can't just give up on life because something bad happens. For me I keep going because my strength is not my own, Christ is the one who is supporting me and carrying through these hard times (and my incredible friends who make me laugh and listen to me whine about the same things over and over... especially Kara and Lauren).

So for those of you who are not connected to pop culture, and believe me, I am right there with you, I titled this blog Carry On. Carry On is a song written by the group Fun. Their lead singer looks like a Dr. Seuss character, but I love their music. Though I don't really like the entire song, I love the chorus.

If you're lost and alone 

Or you're sinking like a stone, 

Carry On

May your past be the sound, 

Of your feet upon the ground, 

Carry On. 

Now just imagine an Irish sounding melody behind this and it makes for an incredible song. So here is to the anthem of my summer. I will be Carrying On.
