We just got a phone call about an hour ago and heard that my grandpa(my mom's dad) just had a heart attack. Please be praying for him, the doctors caring for him and all of his family.

Hm.....
Ok, well, now that my poll is over, I am very surprised with it's results. I thought that the last thing anyone would want to read about is my life. Anyway, I guess I was wrong.
So let's see. Today I have a half day of school since it's a holiday. I don't think we're going to do anything special though. I'm still studying for the PSAT. And um that's about it today.
The baby hedgehog is doing great! Thanks everyone for praying!
Recently(like it seems everyone else has), I have been so thankful for all my amazing friends. There are WAY too many of you to name. There is always someone to talk to and it seems like one of you can always relate to me. I think that as my relationships grow deeper with lots of you, the even more thankful I am to have you. For a lot of you, I have not known you for more than a year, yet it seems like we have known each other forever. Someone is always here to encourage me or just to hang out with. As I get older, the more my friends are valuable to me.....soon we'll all be graduating(in fact a few of you have already graduated) and moving on, but it's nice to know that I have friends that are in the same boat as me. Anyhow, I know this little blurb does not sound really 'Emilyish', lol, but I just want each of you to know how much I appreciate your friendship!
Also, another random thought. Recently I have come across some amazing songs that lyrics have been just what I needed when I listen to them. I'm going to try to regularly post some lyrics and a bible verse that is helped or encouraged me in some way. So be expecting a post about that soon. < lol, that's unlike me too

Say a prayer
Well, this morning I woke up to a dead baby hedgehog. One of my females has killed 2 of her 3 babies and so I have removed the last one living from her cage. I'm trying to get my other mom who has 5 babies that are 2 weeks older than this orphaned one; to take in this baby as well. So far, she's taking care of the baby, but there's still a lot that could go wrong. I'm staying home from church today to help this baby. Say a prayer that everything continues to go smoothly and that I'll be able to save this little one's life. thanks guys!

A strange thought....
So, I was thinking, actually, this thought has come through my mine several times. What if I'm dreaming right now? Like, what if I'm not really the 15 year old animal-and-music-lover-Emily that I think I am? What if this life was all a dream? What if I was a total different person? Now that would be really weird. We all obviously know that isn't true, but sometimes, it's really strange to think about.
I'm thinking about stuff like this quite. Does anyone else? haha, just thought I'd post =P

Wake up.....
Feels like I’m going through the motions in the dark
In a world that leaves me with an uninspired heart
All I know is I’m so tired
Living life I barely feel
Give me hope, give me fire
Give me something real
Cause I don’t wanna keep sleepwalkin’ through
Endless days I’ve had enough of
Going nowhere, God I want to
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
It’s now or never come and pull me from this dream
Where everything is colorless and nothing’s what it seems
I believe only You
Can make me come alive
Help me be so consumed
Open up my eyes
Half asleep
I’m so bored
Counting sheep
Wake up! Wake up! by Everyday Sunday
