I look at you wondering if you ever look at me so i could see a glimpse of what use to be
like when you said you loved me and that our love was forever
It doesn't seem that way today.
I flash you a smile and all i get is a frown a mile,
You can't even talk to me like you did before, I wonder what it could be
Maybe it's not me
chorus
You make me feel invisible. I didn't know that was possible.
you make me fell like a dark day and your the one who make the clouds go away
so here i am to say
Does it hurt you to look at me oooooo Does it hurt you to look at me
Maybe yes maybe no maybe it's not me
I walk up to you you walk away I may have something important to say
I guess it doesn't matter anyway You don't care either way i won't waste my breath away
chorus
One of these days you'll try to find you way back to me but you will never know which road to take
so i might as well go you'll never know
You made me feel invisible i didn't know it was passable You made me feel like a dark day and you were the one to make the clouds go away
so at last i say
It really hurts you to look at me oooooo it really hurts you to look at me
Yes it does I know it does
it was me

Too Much People-Pleasing
Do you think I am trying to make people accept me? No, God is the One I am trying to please. Am I trying to please people? If I still wanted to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10
"Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it."-Rick Warren
We all know that these words are sadly true. I have even found myself in them a few times. Instead of looking to God for guidance, we look to our friends then suffer the consequences.Instead of trying to please our Father in heaven, we try to please our peers, with decidedly mixed results.
We all need to seek God's approval first and other people's first. It may sound simple, but it is the only way to reap the marvelous riches that God has in store for you.
So the question is,"Whom will you try to please today, God or your friends?" Your obligation is to God, not to your friends or even your family members.You must seek to please our all-knowing, all-powerful God first ans always. NO EXCEPTIONS.
"When we are set free from the bondage of pleasing others, when we are free from currying others' approval- the no one will be able to make us miserable or dissatisfied. And then, if we know we have pleased God, contentment will be our consolation." Kay Arthur
"Fashion is an enduring testimony to the fact that we live quite consciously before the eyes of others." John Eldredge
"You will get untold flak for prioritizing God's revealed and present will for your life over man's ....but, boy, is it worth it." Beth Moore
Here is a tip for today: Don't worry about popularity contests. When you have a choice between pleasing others and pleasing God, choose God.

Austin was Awesome!!!
I couldn't have asked for a nicer trip. I had so much fun!!!! The first night we spent the nigh at Emma's aunt's house. Emma and i were suppose sleep on the couch and our little sisters on one of those beds that come out of a couch. In the end all four of us slept on that bed. Very uncomfortable and HOT! The second day we went to a natural spring. The water was clear and gorgeous! The only thing was....... IT WAS FREEZING!!!!! It took us 10 minutes to completely immerse our self in the water. On the last day we went by Inner Space Caverns. Inside of the cavern, the temperate was about 20 degrees less than it was outside. The cavern was amazing. You never think about what is happening underneath you. The stalagmites and stalactites were breathtaking. There were even little bats inside. Look at your thumb, that is how big they were. Overall the trip was so much fun.
Losing a friend
In about a week, I have a friend named Brooklyn moving to Utah. I and many other friends of hers' have known her since kindergarten. The thing is it is just her and her mom DRIVING there. I think it is about a two day drive. My family and many others gave them a going away party last night. They received a $100 visa gift card for gas. They will most definitely need it. I have gained many new friends, kept old ones, and now I am losing one. If you will please pray for the safety and strength of Brooklyn and her mother. The hardest thing for her is not losing possessions or moving to a new home, it's leaving behind all of the people she loves and holds close to her heart..
