DON"T HATE

haha, even though you really shouldn't hate, I meant it as don't hate ME because I haven't posted in like FOREVER
anyway, while we're on the subject of DON'T HATE, lets talk about some things Jesus said in relevance to hating. 

And what the dictionary's definition of hate is, just cause I'm curius

Hate: to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest: to hate the enemy; to hatebigotry. 

 or to be unwilling; dislike: I hate to do it.

Wow, with definitions like that, who could confuse the word hate with anything else? Besides murder.

Jesus said, (this is paraphrased by the way) Hate's like murder-you hate someone you murder them in your heart.

If your a Nancy Rue fan like me, and you have read Lucy Doesn't Wear Pink, then you know that Lucy Rooney's dad says this "Hate isn't a people verb, its a thing verb. Its OK to hate jalepenos with your scrambled eggs the way she did, or rock music that sounds like cans tumbling around in the dryer like he did, but it wasn't OK to hate people. even Aunt Karen" (excuse me if I got that wrong, it was kind of from memory)

Now, people hate people every day, and no one bats an eye, people murder people and they get sent to jail. Now, didn't Jesus say that hate is like murder, weather you want them dead or not?

So, stop hatin' and start LOVIN'

even your enemies because Jesus commanded that to

On the Inside: From a former Popular

Sorry I have posted in a while. I'm going to take a break from our "To Tune in or Not to Tune In" series and just post.
I go to a really small school. like 400 kids for K-12 so you'd think it would be easy for everybody to know everybody. Well, some people don't and I am not one of those people. I know everybody, I know there names, there grade, everything. So I guess I'm popular, on the inside. In our class there are some 'Populars' to, there is to girls who are boy crazy and then the other two who are mean and they like to tear other people apart, there not loyal to each other and there just downright mean. Well somehow I got sucked into the Mean Girl(s) and Boy(s) group, I was on the Inside, for a while everything was all peachy. But then I started being mean to other people, and the groups "Ring Leader" started to think I was weird, started giving me these 'Your so weird' looks and I don't know made me feel out of place, for the first time I felt unwanted, I realized I was being mean to other people, and the "Ring Leader" had officially kicked me out of there group. I found I was better off on my own. Or with my old friends, well the other members in the group were starting to get annoyed too. The "Ring Leader" was starting to lie a lot and exagerating stories and blaming everything on her "Friends". They don't really want much to do with her anymore but for some reason there not leaving. Let me tell you, as much as being one of the Populars may seem fun, its not its all fake, I felt like I was putting on a show, when I got kicked out I was so much happier and I still am. Don't let popularity become the focus of your life, its just not worth it. I've found that true popularity isn't being the person who wears designer clothes, or  is the meanest, or the prettiest, or has the best hair. True popularity is when people like you for you, when you are a geniune person, that's when people will notice you because you might have something they don't authenticy. So don't go out trying to be everyone's friend if your only goal is to be popular. A truly popular person is like a princess. She has a good heart, she doesn't just sit on her throne and command people to do things. So go out and be YOU.

To Tune in Or Not to Tune in?

OK just to be clear I did not mean to post tht earlier one but I think I'll comment on the jamie grace on now
That last on ewas by Jamie Grace, hold me, and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Tune in Or Not to Tune in?

Were down to the bestest songs!!!!!!!! cuz u probably get what to look out for now :)
" I should be playin in the winter snow I should be chillin' with my folks at home but imma be under the mistletoe, I should be makin a list I know, but Imma be under the mistletoe oooooo shawty with uuuu under the mistletoe ooooooo shawty with uuuuu"-Mistletoe Justin Beiber no matter how much you might hate his guts-this song is like the number one Christmas song ever!!!!!! 'Dear youtube my replay button is broken' Seriously and I am not a belibier.


'I've had a long day no time to relax no time for my friends no time to chit chat problems at my job wonderin what to do I know I should be working but I'm thinking of you"

To Tune in Or Not to Tune in?

Music still, I think were passed the worst of the worst well the general, I'm pretty sure ya'll know what to look out for now.
TO answer Brooke's question, no I don not think Sean Kingston is bad I personally love is song "Eenie Meenie" but lets look at some artists who are right in the middle, and remember if you have to think twice about youtubing a song-you probably shouldn't. And always ask yourself if your parents were sitting listening to the lrics with you, would you feel ashamed or not care?
Anyway, OK artists, who aren't bad but aren't the greatest, of the great, who have halos around there head and stuff.
"Party Rock is in the house tonight!! Everybody just have a good time, and we gonna make you lose your mind..."-LMFAO, their name is bad but this song rocks.

"He be like smooth, what? Can you teach me how to dougie you know why cause all my woman love me..." Cali Swag District Teach Me How To Dougie clean version. Always search the clean version if your not sure, if there is none, its already clean :)

"I tried to be a picture perfect girl, but you were in your own fantasy world, tryna control me like some kinda barbie. But that just ain't me. Cause I ain't a doll this ain't a doll house, your way to old to be putting me down like this, and playing around like this."- Dollhouse Priscilla Renea I just love this song its so humorous!!!!!!!!!

"You think I'm pretty without any makeup on, you think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong...... Lets go all the way tonight, no regrets just love..... You make me feel like I'm living the teenage dream!"- Teenage Dream Katy Perry, ok so this song isn't bad enough to be on our worst list but its not the best song ever....

" Right now, he's probably buyin' her some fruity little drink 'cause she can't shoot wisky..... And he don't know, that I doug my key into the side of his pretty little zoomped up drive, and carved my name into his leather seats, maybe next time he'll think before he cheats. Right now she's probably saying I'm drunk and he's a-thinking he's gonna get lucky."-Before he Cheats Carrie Underwood Love Carrie, this song rocks not the nicest but she's passionate, and is getting her feelings out and its a quality song, I think it rocks!!
That's all,
XOXO

Long time NO POST-To Tune In OR Not To Tune In

Haha. Anyway, I thought I'd do a hmmmm watchamakallit.... SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got the idea from my friend, E.T. It will be called To Tune in Or Not to Tune in. We will start with music. Now I'm not one whose big on listening to "clean" lyrics I mean WHO CARES????????? But I'm starting to realize. I care. I'm filling my mind with things, my mind doesn't want to be filled with. I'm pretty sure God cares too. I'll start from the worst and work my way up to the best.
"Its getting hot in here lets take off all her clothes." "I am getting so hot Imma take my clothes off."-Nelly. Ok let me call it the way it is here. The guy wants to um, share a bed with a girl. Not quality music. Thumbs down, cool beat, yea sure, hot lyrics.... Not so much-unless you actually want to advertise this stuff.

"I-i-i-i Wanna Go-o-o-o all the Way-ay-ay takin on my freak tonight"-Brittney Spears. Can I say just this, she must be one of the sluttiest, skankiest, ungodly, slut in the music biz. Um I like some of her music but I don't necessarily agree with her lyrics, so I ask myself-Why listen to it??

"Mama I'm in love with a criminal this kinda love isn't rational, its physical."-Brittney, again. She's got one thing right, Criminal love ISN'T rational!!!!!!!! And you should never want to be in a phyisical realationship, especially with a criminal!!

"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn? That's alright because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and here me cry that's OK 'cause I love the way you lie." - Riannah ft Eminem  Ok this song is just abusive. And the music video isn't much better either.

"This one is for the boys in the boomin' system top town A.C. in the coolin' system when he come up in the club he be blazing up he got stacks on deck like he savin' up and he ill he real he  might gotta dill  he pop bottles and he got the right kinna bill he cold he dope he might sell c***
he olways in the air but he never fly coach see ya motherf****** trip trip sailor of a ship ship, money make him drip drip, kiss him on his lip lip, that's the kinna dude I was lookin' fo, and yes you'll get slapped if you lookin h**"- Nicki Minaj, her lyrics aren't clean, her music videos aren't clean, she signs girls boobs. She's not someone we should be or keep on listening to.


OK that's all for today, and if you have listened and enjoyed these songs, well you and me both. If you haven't and listen to decent music, Christian or not, with clean lyrics and a clean music video, well you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!

OBSESSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, its not bad to be obsessed no matter what the people say.
I'm obsessed with alot of things. Frilly handwriting, old letters, yellow paper, Paris and Italia, good books, being liked or accepted, black and white things, baby names, wedding, vintage, snowboarding, doodles, dressing up, the world of High Fashion, food, myself, and mirrors. I have quite a few obsessions what are yours?? If you can't think of any-which could mean you are very likely dead-hate to burst your bubble there. BUT if you do have an obsessions-please let us (me and my followers on this blog) know!! Its OK to be obsessed its very much OK its even natural. Now you may have noticed that I didn't put God on my list of things I'm obsessed about. That's because I'M NOT obsessed with God; I'm passionate about him, I love him with all my might and main but I am not obssesed. I do not know if that's a bad thing or not.

Oh well. Hey I'm also obsessed with quirky phrases or sayings. what do you know I'll find more stuff to be obssesed about later. haha.
If you feel the need to comment on what your obsessed with, then, by all means-please do!!! If for some reason you feel uncomfortable wit this, or any of my posts, please comment on that too. But don't use put downs or rude or crude language, no swearing or using not nice language like b**** or a** please. Not like that has happened but just thought I'd put out a warning. This is a safe p[lace, not just some other place in the world, but a place of refuge, a place to build others up, a place where we feel wanted and/or accepted, welcome, loved.
Thank You!! 
Pictures of things that look like my obssesion list-in visual form:) !!

Just 4 Fun

I was writing a story ya know for fun adn here's what I have so far. The story idea I got from my friend.

“I didn’t do it. Yes. I live near the crime scene but why would I? Why would I do that? I don’t have a criminal record; I’m not a bad person. I was framed. And as being a victim, it is my job to find out what happened, to prove, myself and maybe some others, innocent, and put the right person in jail. This is my job, my duty; my life depends on this, literally.

I am a victim of 3^rd degree murder. I am unjustly blamed for this, and some of my supposed “Partners in Crime” are under close watch too. The real criminal would be charged with rape, murder, and robbery. As a victim I want this person in jail, as a detective, though, I want to do good to the citizens. If he/she  does get in jail that’s like a bonus.

Now who am I?  That I can’t tell you, its confidential information; if I tell you the police might find me and I could go to jail, be put under house arrest, or worse. You must prove your trust and even then I’m not sure."

Comments are appreciated. Haha aren't they always??

Tell me if its good, bad, or Totally rockin!!

T.V., internet, cell phones, and other things that capture our attention.

UGH. Whether you watch Secret Life of an American Teenager or Dora the Explorer (too extremes sorry)
you could be hooked, whether you go on Facebook, twitter, blogs, or shoe dazzle (That's a fave of mine), whether you read doctor seuss or Ted Decker, we all get hooked on things that take up o lot of time. We may or may not be addicts. I'm addicted, to reading and youtube, and internet. I personally don't have a facebook, but I do search my friends who are on. I have a twitter, if you want to follow me my username is CorinneKoffi
I read often ok often may be an understatement.... I watch the Lying Game, Make it Or Break it, nickelodean, and disney channel, and MTV. I text more than I talk (And I talk A LOT) Why is it that we think that these things are the greatest things since Barney got arrested (no offense to any barney lovers) when the people who lived just ONE generation before us are just discovering the exciting world of internet, texting, and t.v.?? Why is it that we're always so suprised when they say read a book, when we're doing just that-online. Why are we so hooked on these things???
Well, I honestly don't know. I'm not saying that its a bad thing, no not at all. I'm just wondering any ideas???

Hold me-And don't let go, would ya??

OK so I was diving today (for those who don't know I'm a diver) And I was scared of smacking myself against the water, the water my best friend, and worst enemy. So I shot up a quick prayer like this. "Hey God I'm like really scared right now so... If you could hold me in your arms and not let go that'd ROCK, thanks." Very similar to the prayer I prayed for my friend who was crying over a praise song. "Could you please hold..... In your arms, Lord. She needs you right now." How many times do you ask God to hold you in His big, strong, loving arms and not let go? I've found myself doing that more and more.

Oh yea, its FOOTBALL season!!!! And if you look back to my previous posts, you'll see one on football. Now I hope ya'll have chose your teams.... I gotta say I'm choosing the Minnesota Vikings. As bad as they may be, if I don't support the underdog, who will??

And sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy with school, and diving, and sleeping, and youth group, and eating. Haha

ME (or if you don't know ME its ME Pure Maiden)

One Week Down, something like 40 to go *sigh*

My first week of school is over and I've learned a lot of things. They are all factual.
1. Math is hard.
2. Multiplying is hard.
3. History is (sort of) fun
3. I <3 Bible
4. Get to homeroom fast so that you can finish your left over homework.
5. Use your study halls wisely, they will save you a lot of time!! Don't spend them talking to your friends or texting.
6. Dodgeball is deadly
7. itunes is somewhat helpful
7. If your a seventh grader, you WILL get called a sevie not an offensive term just a way of teasing, haha can't wait till the 6th graders are 7th graders!!
8. Swimming is hard
8. Diving is hard.
9. I will enjoy school.


What have you learned this week, even if you haven't started school??
XOXO

DOES ANY BODY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO SUMMER???????????

Haha, I had my first day of school today. I'm a sevie (seventh grader) and its a lovely mixture of complication, anxiety, homework (coming soon), and fun! But yes I must still admit that I'm wondering where summer went. It seems, like yesterday we just got out of sixth grade!! I enjoy the seventh grade, but I definitely have a lot to learn!! The work is harder, but that happens in every grade, doesn't it? We have to switch classes, we don't have a single teacher we have like seven. There's  (haha) cuter boys, (she said embarrassingly), more time to practice time management skills,more freedom, more homework (yet to come) and all that fun stuff coming with junior high. I'm very confused with all this 'becoming a teenager means that you will like boys thing'
though, 'cause yes I've had crushes, no they've never made me feel like all like totally weird around boys and stuff...  even if I'm not interested in them, even if all they are is cute. I don't really get it. And I'm not really comfortable talking with my parents about this kinda thing so I don't really want to do that. Any helpful suggestions? For homework, boys, or just seventh grade/teenage hood in general.
  
I <3 Ya'll

Destination

So ya know how I said in my pintrest post how I'm like obsessed with marriage and like love and wedding dresses? Well if you didn't I am. And so I want to have a destination wedding, in Paris France under the Eifel Tower no less!! :) Anyway I was thinking well I need to find a hot guy before I get married ( In Paris don't forget :)    So I got to thinking what do I look for in a guy?? And I came up with these answers.
1. He has to be a Christian and actually live like one
2. He has to be cute (haha I like cute guys :)
3. He has to have a sense of humor
4. He has to appreciate culture
4. & tradition
5. He has to have an education (not a must but much appreciated)
6. He has to treat me like a Princess-which I am, a Princess of the King of Kings that is!!
7. He has to respect me and not abuse me, verbally, psychically, and sexually
8. He has to love me back
9. He should be as crazy as I am for him for me
10. He has to get my kookiness :)
11. He has to get along with my family
12. He has to know that divorce is NOT an option
13. He has to understand that once were married he's off the market- forever
14. He has to be able to spoil me :)
15. He's got to get me awesome gifts ( again not a must but much appreciated:)
16. He has to be able to comfort me when I'm upset, even if he doesn't know what's wrong
17. He has to love me for who I am and not try to change me
18. He has to be honest
19. He has to be obedient
20. He has to always put God first and me second
21. He has to no that getting drunk is wrong and that smoking is wrong and drugs are wrong and then he can't be doing any of those things.
So some might say I have high expectations but that's seriously what I look for in a guy the cold blooded truth. I think that that's not only what I should look for in my future husband but all my future boyfriends too. I've had crushes that don't necessarily portray all of these qualities but they're just crushes.
So I've shared with you what I look for in a guy, what do you look for in a guy? And be honest, please, if your gonna share at all I would like you to be honest.

[Delete]

Have you ever seen one of these [ Delete]  tee shirts and wondered what it meant?
                                                     
It means delete digital drama. You may even wonder what THAT means, well digital drama is when someone spends too much time on something digital-like a cell phone, or a computer, and spends soo much time on there cell phone or there computer that it hurts they're relationships.  Digital drama could also mean that when your on your computer you're cyber-bullying or when your on you're phone your sending pictures that aren't appropriate  pictures of other people, or texting mean things. They are all hurtful, and they all should never happen. That's what the [ Delete] tee shirts mean. The people who wear them want to delete all that icky mean stuff that happens on facebook, through phones, through email, and even through twitter. I encourage you to delete all the digital drama goin' on in your life wheather your spending to much time on the computer or on your cell phone, or actually hurting somebody (which I hope you never do) through cell phone or computer usage.
[ Delete ] digital drama!! One person at a time.

Falling

Yesterday at diving practice we were learning how to fall. That may sound weird but we were falling backwards. For those of you who have ever been in gymnastics or know what a back bend is that's basically what we were doing until our arms hit the water ( our arms were above our head). And I realized that I need to do the same thing with God. I keep bridging and bridging the gap between me and God until I eventually just fall back but unlike diving i need to fall back faster; stop bridging the gap go to God with every sin and ask for forgiveness. Go to God with every prayer request and ask for healing or help or whatever the request might be. Go to God with every joy and every sorrow. I need to stop Bridging the gap between me and God and just start falling. I need to fall hard into His arms and know that no matter what I've done he will catch me. Maybe you are already falling back into God's arms. But if your not I want you to with every thing that happens fall back-take the time to pray, or even just go outside and look around and see the beauty of God's creation.
XOXO

Football

Sports are an important part of my family's life. My brother is in 3 team sports and then does HOW many sports just for fun?? I myself enjoy sports I'm in 3 team sports too, diving team, basketball, and track & field. I also enjoy swimming, gymnastics, skiing, 4-wheeling (that's a sport right?) snowmobiling, (That BETTER be a sport :) and I'm gonna learn how to snowboard this winter. So ya sports are important to my family but what I was thinking was since football season is coming up, now for those of you who don't even know the difference between a wide receiver and a quarter back, well I hope you never go to Texas!! I used to be right there with ya, and I DID go to Texas and had an AWESOME time. But anyway football season is coming up, and if you have any males in the house (this includes brothers, cousins, dad's, uncles, grandpas, boyfriends, or guys as friends) you'll probably hear a lot of this "TOUCH DOOOOOWN!!!!!!!" or "RUN, RUN!! QUICK PASS HE"S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!!" I know in my house that's definitely the case!!  But I wanna see how many people are willing to pick a team there's probably more than 50!! And root for that team throughout this season. You might find you even like the sport!! Who knew?? And if your thinking I'd rather pluck out all my hairs by the roots than watch FOOTBALL of all things! Then pick a team that's jersey is in your fave colors. let's see who agrees and then by the time the super bowl comes we'll all have teams to look forward to watching!! And we won't be totally clueless when your brother decides to pop quiz you and ask what the safety do. And know for those of you who were wondering they do not carry around bandages and ice packs. I still think they should have a different name but... 

SO I hope you take up my challenge of picking a team and actually watching them!! Please do it will be fun!!

I'm gonna choose the New York Jets or the Atlanta Falcons. I'm not sure yet.

PS I do NOT have those teams memorized, I just looked 'em up on google :)
