In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise ((Ephesians 1:13))

b l o o d s h o t

Hey heyY! These last two days have been pretty interesting i'm not gonna lie to you. lets start with tuesday! I got out of school and went over to a neighbor from down the streets house to meet her 3 year old who i am starting to babysit! She is very cute! Then i had to get ready for my debutaunt walk to present me to society, so i got all dolled up and went to school for the NHS induction.. hahaha.. this proves my point that there are like 23098 asian kids in plano. I could count the white kids on my hands and toes, and there were like 192 inductees. ha. PS my nanna came in town to see this and for my confirmation! OK now on to wednesday--I RAN! like actually got outside and ran. Wow it was SO hot outside i almost died. Then i had a piano lesson. Thursday- came home from school and i was sitting around and my mom was like hey becca want to get a gym membership? i was like hmm i dont know if i should be excited or insulted, but SURE! so i went and became a member of express fitness~ this is when the real fun begins. i got home from that and as i was getting out of the car *WHOOOSH* blood POURS out of my nose onto the driveway of my house continuosly for about 30 minutes. it looks like someone was murdered brutally. i think i lost a few gallons of blood, just kidding, but it was a lot. i was weak. then i went to bible study and that was neat. then i came home and went to bed. FRIDAY----- ok, so i woke up this morning and i was like mmmm fridayy! then i was like i can't open my eyes. weird. then it turns out my eyes are SWOLLEN SHUT. yes. sick. i know. by the time i got the open and stuff the white part of my eye was like RED, like dark red. scary. i had no time to fret over this because i had to be at schimelpfenig at 7:25. Got there and couldn't see so i had to play guitar by memory and do songs that i had memorized. that was cool. then i had jasper fca. i played guitar with jessica and that was cool because i didn't have to sing.. then i was tardy to spanish. yay. then in english my teacher pulled me out into the hall to ask me if my bloodshot eyes were caused by pot. i laughed. out loud. in her face. i was like obviously you know absolutely nothing about me, i woke up with it. sorry. then in history my teacher was like you have pink eye get the hell out of here. i was like no. then i just played computer games with david bond the whole class. then i went to harp and my mom was like you have pink eye. indeed i do, so i went and got some antibiotic eye drops and they should heal in 5 days. anyways i went to confirmation rehearsal.. that was cool. i'm getting confirmed tomorrow. that is crazy. this was a bloody long entry.. pardon the pun! hahahah i crack myself up.. peace easy guys...

CHINESE BISTRO part deux

Hola kiddos! It has been a few days and i know how you are itching to know what i have been doing... could you sense the sarcasm? on saturday i went shopping with my mom and got an outfit for confirmation. Then on saturday afternoon/night i went to the CHINESE market with my piano teacher and her daughter (who are both asian) and i got the hook up with my food. I got all the stuff i needed for my rice party. I had bridget colleen and anna over for my rice party on sunday. That was mucho fun. we watched another episode of the o.c. and then went to church! THen i had to stay up really late doing hw.
Today was not bad, but it was a monday. in algebra we watched this awful hour long movie about this dude who it took him 7 years to prove this conjecture thing. he was like crying telling the story about when he figured it out. i would cry too if i realized "Hey i just wasted seven years of my life on one problem" then in chemistry we just did busy work the whole class. then in med sci we did busy work as well. i love jasper. not. at golf practice i watched the guys try to hit cars from the driving range and that was realllly funny. well i'm really glad this year is kind of coming to a close. since this week is taks week, it doesn't count. so like 4 weeks left of school. yessss. well now i have to go finish enders game. which may take me all night seeing as i have a LOT left.
stay classy, san diego..

Amor, no es amor.. (if this ain't love)

Aloha broha! That frankie j song obsessions kind of in a weird weird twisted way reminds me of Bible study tonight. haha let me explain. Today we talked about God's love that He has for us, all of us. This love is indescribable and humanly not fathomable. Just thinking about that HUGE love excites me. When i think about how much my parents love me for example, i am like wow they love me a lot. God's love is even greater than that! There is nothing you can do to make God love you less. how AWESOME is thaT? On our part, love isn't a feeling or an emotion, although it feels like it sometimes. It is a decision and a commitment. You can either decide to fully accept God's never ending love, or not. I can't wait be in the presence of this incredible dude, the thought brings tears to my eyes literally...standing in front of your creator, who loves you more than you can ever fathom. Although it sounds cliche, i can only imagine fo realz what this union with my Father will be like. This gives the childhood "Jesus loves me yes i know" song a whole new meaning for me. Doesn't it just put a smile on your face knowing that even when you feel alone or sad, God loves you SO much..
OK now about my day! In algebra the teachers messed up making the key so ACTUALLY i got a 100 on my quiz ! ! ! This is quite a miracle for me! Chemistry we did a lab and it was gay. in medical science i PASSED INFANT CPR ON MY FIRST TRY!!!! Let me backtrack.. for adult and child cpr it took me THREE tries to pass. you know they do say that "third times a charm". WEll, i deff proved it wrong today with flying colors. sha-ZAMMM. Ok then i went and played golf. Then jennifer came over to my house to make our dish for spanish class. We ended up reminiscing about john mayer and jack johnson.. oh yes.. THen i went to Bible study, which was obviously good if you read the latter part of this entry. Then i chilled at starbucks with some cool chillens. Came home and finished my homework by 11. this is out of order but the best part of my day arrives on the kitchen table. if you know me then you are thinking some type of food was sitting there. no. you are wrong, although that would have been nice. It was a letter of pure encouragement from my fav aggie Summer Stafford. my jaw like dropped and i started crying for no r e a s o n at all, and i don't usually cry that much ever. it deff qualifies as the best letter i think i have ever received. wow she is neat. ok now i have to go read ender's game study for an english quiz. i love you guys a lot, but not as much as God loves you.. haha WoRddddd

Never know

That is a good song.. (the title never know by mr. jack johnson) Hola guys. hows it going? Today was quite superb i must add! I had spanish and we did nothin as usual. Then in english i did my Antonys oration speech which i got a 105 on. That was neat. Then in history the test wasn't that bad, but i bet i managed to fail it somehow. Then i went to golf and i forgot shoes and shorts, so i had to putt and stuff in flip flops which was cool because i didn't actually do anything the entire practice..haha.. Then i went home and chilled for a few minutes. thennn i went up to church to help with the middle school OLyMpiADs! Middle school kids are so lively and energetic, i am jealous, well, sort of ;D I did that until like 8:15 and then i went to my piano lesson which afterwards was PART 2 to chinese bistro! I learned how to make fried rice! SO, i am one step closer to becoming that amazing chinese chef that i dream about being. haha j/k. Then i finished my hw by 10:30 which was exciting. The weather was stupendous today might i add. It was very pretty and i think it should stay like this forever. Well guys i wish my life was more interesting, but that is all that happened to me today. peace easy.

chinese BISTRO

Hola mis amigos. Hows it goin? My day was pretty good for a tuesday. I think i failed that honors alg 2 test, but hey you win some you lose some! In chemistry i finished my performance task which i have thoroughly enjoyed because i am a chemistry nerd! Then in medical science i turned it my project which i did last night. I was that mean kid in class who said "hey mrs. bailey are you going to take up the projects?"!! I spent a lot of time on it and only like 8 kids in the class actually did it. oops. sry guys. Then i had to take a make up spanish test and it was pretty easy. I got home and chillaxed for a bit. THEN the fun part of my day begins. I went to the Chinese surpass market thing. If y'all didn't know, i got an AUTHENTIC asian rice steamer from my piano teacher, which is like the best present EVER. ok now, I got completely hooked up with some rice and stuff at the chinese grocery store. No one like spoke english nor were the labels in english! So that was an experience. I felt asian and at home. ahaha. ok I get home and use my rice steamer and my new rice and make the BEST rice i've had since last week at my piano teachers house. haha. ok the best rice i've ever had outside of her house. PS> i had to buy a 25 (twenty five) pound bag of rice. This is where i realized "wow i need to work out" because i had a lot of trouble lugging that thing around the store. haha well its time to do HW.. WORD

sky ranch

Hello my faithful blog readers! Well its saturday night and i want to be at sky ranch really bad. For all of you who don't know me, sky ranch is my second home. (i go during the summer and for retreats during the year) i LOVE that place. Well, my church is on a retreat this weekend called prayaway and it's at sky ranch. I couldn't go because i had to work last night when they left. This makes me sad because it was going to be the last time i was at sky ranch via texas. Sky ranch has been given, YES GIVEN, two other camp grounds (one in colorado and one in oklahoma) this past year. I am involved in the leadership camp called Quest at camp. They have decided to make Quest's "home" in oklahoma. Since it's a two week camp, we are going to oklahoma for the first week and colorado for the second week. I'm not so good at math, but i KNOW that means no time in the texas camp that i know and love so much. I guess change can be a good thing, but these new camps have a LOT to live up to that's for sure. Well i am going to sulk about this matter. haha just kidding. WoRDDD

This is mE Posted by Hello

jumping right on the bandwagon

Hey guys! I have decided to jump RIGHT on this bandwagon of the whole "xanga/blog" craze. Well on my first entry, i will just tell you a little about mE. My name is Rebecca Mary Elizabeth Payne. I go by Becca because almost everyone, including myself, says the "r-word" really annoyingly. I am a sophmore at Jasper H.S. I am a leader of FCA which is fellowship of Christian athletes. Now, i bet you are thinking.. she's an athlete. Well, you are half right. I USED to be an athlete (volleyball) and now i just play golf on the school team. I could say that golf is a pretty intense sport, but c'monnn who am i kidding? I play the guitar for mostly praise and worship purposes. I also have been playing the piano for like 10 years and the harp for 9. My favorite band/music artist would be Shane and Shane. Well i dont really know how to end these things. so.. LATER

Becca

p.s. i didn't know what to put at the top so i put some wise words from mr. ludacris. it's not some deep quote and there is nothing that i have "done did again".
