Natural Teen...

Hey guys! Praise God on this wonderful Sunday!

OK, I have come to realize (and I've been asked) that the name Natural Teen is kind of confusing. Like, people don't understand the concept or why I chose that name, so I will use this post to explain why and what it means...to me.

First of all, when I first made my blogger I didn't know what I wanted to call it! My first choice was to call it something with "diva" in it but all the other websites I'm apart of my web name is something with diva in it (well at least most of them) so i decided not to go with that. Then after thinking a little longer I wanted to name it "Not You Everyday Teen" but my mom told me the name was good but too long so I kept thinking. Finally after searching my mind for an answer and creativity I finally got it! "Natural Teen" and I was happy with it! So that's how i got.

Now why that name? Not really any serious reason I was thinking of something similar to Not Your Everyday Teen and that's what i got.

What does it mean? OK I'm going to use an analogy to explain this the best I can so it will make sense. You know how people have natural hair but when they put chemicals in it and stuff and ruin your hair. Well even though it still looks good it doesn't mean it's healthy or...natural! But if you leave it alone it will grow and it's healthy and beautiful and taken care of the right way. Or another one. If you drink apple juice but it has all the artificial stuff in it and "Man Made" things in it so it would taste a certain way, it takes away it's nutrients and the whole point of it being healthy for you! So for me being a "natural" teen simply means being me. You see, teens these days always try to make themselves be a certain way, thinking it's what they need to do to make themselves better but it really isn't. And even though they may grow up fine there's still something in them that's unhealthy, not right, not them, someone else. Sometimes they ruin themselves because they get to involved with what other people think that they don't just be themselves...it's not natural...it's "Man Made"!

I hope I explained it in a way that you understood...if not you can comment and ask me what I mean...but I tried my best! :D

Have a great, blessed and glorious day!

What I have been doing...

Good afternoon everyone!! Well as you know today is Sunday! So of course I went to church, heard an AWESOME word about Prayer. Pastor Jimmy (my pastor) was talking about prayer and how it's a intimate conversation with you and God and a lot of "Religious" people just talk to God but a conversation with him is talking and listening. And God isn't going to always say yes! Sometimes yes, no or not yet. So that was an AWESOME word.

And I was tired this morning and I will be honest I did not want to get up this morning! But I will still praise him for waking me up this morning. Don't you just sometimes wish there were more hours in the night?! It seems like the night goes by too fast! In my case though...it's probably just because i had a full day yesterday.

Like I've said in previous posts my mom has a dance studio, so two other girls and I danced at this church called Higher Calling Church (i think that's what it's called). There was this fashion show (and btw the clothes were so cute!) going on so we danced and we did great! My body was sore this morning though. But overall it was fun. You know how before you perform or do anything in front of people you get these butterflies that makes you feel sick! Well I got those right before we were about to perform and i was so nervous. When showtime came i did my thing! I only got like a 15 minute nap before we had to dance but it wasn't much of a nap for me...it was more like just relaxing and trying to clear my mind but all i could think about was the dance and the song wouldn't stop playing in my head! That was irritating! And we were out ALL DAY LONG! I went to bed at 11 somethin' the night before and got up and 8:45 and stayed up for the rest of the day! So I'm TIRED! But I will survive, I will survive oh as long as i know how to love i know I'll be alive LOL! So that's pretty much all...


I know that was really random but that's all pretty much that i did yesterday and today!

I hope i didn't bore you to tears with all this stuff that really didn't have much substance but that's what i felt like saying so hope you enjoyed it and talk to you later!!!
