30DBC Day 6

Day 6 — Write a letter to: A stranger

Last Friday, I went to Build-A-Bear Workshop to get myself a Bear cause I wanted a bear(of course I could've waited, but I felt I needed to go that day) Well, when I was getting my new bear(she is Purple and her name is Paslie Spring). I saw this Girl walk into the store and I couldn't help but look at her. I just saw myself in her. It was very interesting. I heard a conversation between her mom and someone on the phone, and I guess this sweet girl was saw a counselor and talked with them for like an hour and a half. I know that was non of my buisness. But, then, when I was picking clothes for Paslie. And this girl chose a cute little frog, and was kinda moody, she was saying "I'm too old to have a bear or stuffed animal." I told her that "Girl, You're never too old to have a stuffed animal." "I came here when I was 13 and I'm now 21 and getting my 2nd one because I want one." She sat there and thought for a moment, then said "I'm 13" As she was filling her frog with stuffing, I had a moment when I just saw myself in this beautiful young women. I could tell she was struggling with something, and I didn't know exactly what to say but I just couldn't help but feel I needed to have that kind of moment that day. This is what I'm wanting to write to her, I don't know if she'll ever see it. And that's fine, I just know that she hasn't left my mind since Friday!

Dear Miss A(her name starts with and A),

I know you hardly know me, but when I saw you at Build a Bear workshop, I Saw myself inside you. I saw potential inside you as well! You are 13 years old and just starting your Teenage years. As a Teenager, you learn about yourself, you'll realize who you are, who your true friends are. And if you are religious, you may find that you are Truly a Daughter of God. I feel this amount of Love towards you because Heavenly Father wanted me to see you! You are my spirit Sister, and I truly hope the best for you! When I was your age, I struggled with an experience I had when I was 9 years old. I was very self concious about my body, as well as I didn't know who I was. I didn't even know how to act. I only knew how to act the way I learned how to act. I didn't even know what I wanted at your age. I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up. The only thing that kept me living was music and my Viola.

In Jr. High I felt alone and I felt like I didn't have any friends. I would have some that were pretty good, some that weren't exactly a good influence really, and I had some that would vent to me, but they wouldn't listen to my struggles. I felt I wasn't being listened to, so therefore I would feel like I was in a dark pit. I was tested so many times in Jr. High, I hated it. But I made it through because, I had a Heavenly Father that cares for me very much! He sent into my family 2 little sisters. I was 14 when my 7 year old sister was born, and 15 and a half when my 5 1/2 year old sister was born. I don't know what I'd do with out them! They are my life!

Girl, I encourage you to do what ever makes you happy that is good. Things that will make you happy for life. Join a sports team at your school, get into Drama, take pictures, whatever that you enjoy to kind of let yourself relax from the stresses in life. I know you can make it! Life isn't fun and it's tough! But it's totally worth it! Keep your head held high cause theres more to life than just being stuck in the dumps and being negative all the time. You can still have a good time when times are tough! Actually that is the perfect time to have a great time as long as you do the things you love! Life your life to the fullest and achieve your goals in life! Even though you may loose your way, you'll find a way back and realize what is good in life to make you for who you are as well as our trials make us who we are! I know I wouldn't be who I am today from the experiences I've had in my life! And I hope you know that you are loved even by those that are around you! You've touched my heart in a way that I know that you are an amazing girl with talent and potential to do what ever you desire! Just have faith and keep moving forward. "Don't give up! It's just eh weight of the world, when your hearts heavy I, I will lift it for you!"

I was on the Swim Team in High School, and I enjoyed it fully, my Coach told us a quote that I have never forgotten! "Life is tough, but it's even tougher when you're stupid."(do what works in life). Girl, do me a favor, Ask yourself What's in it for me? What can I do to reach out to people? What can I do to make myself happy as well as others? Christ said "I didn't say it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it." I know you'll make it through what ever it is that you're having a hard time with. Keep your head up and face the world and tell them how big your Lord is!

Love,
The girl in Build a Bear Workshop

Tell me: A song that reminds of you of somewhere
I have loads of songs that remind me of memories... But It's interesting to think of This one. :D

Be a Man from Mulan. Sung by: Donny Osmond

Let's get down to business
To defeat the Huns
Did they send me daughters
When I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch
I ever met
But you can bet
Before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man
out of you

Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within
Once you find your center
you are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a man
out of you

I'm never gonna catch
my breath
Say good-bye to those
who knew me
Boy, was I a fool in school
for cutting gym
This guy's got 'em
scared to death
Hope he doesn't see
right through me
Now I really wish that I
knew how to swim

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon

Time is racing toward us
till the Huns arrive
Heed my every order
and you might survive
You're unsuited for
the rage of war
So pack up, go home
you're through
How could I make a man
out of you?

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the Coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon
I want to know: Your favorite music video.

Show me A photo of an animal you’d love to keep as a pet.



I Love Dolphins! They are my absolute favorite animal a live that live in the Sea! :D



I Love Tigers as well! They are gorgeous cats! :D And I love both the White and the Bengal Tigers! :D



Great White Shark? Yes! I know crazy! I heard a story in Seminary that kind of changed my mind about sharks, but, I would love to wait to have them as a pet till after the millenium!



I Love Horses Like no other! They are so amazing! They are such therapeutic animal for everybody! :D

DUDE! Tash-- your letter reminded me of Kung Fu Panda #2. It is fantastic. I recommend that you save your money and buy it when it comes out so you can watch it over and over again. It has such a great message of hope. It doesn't matter so much about who we've been, but more who we are becoming :)
