Patience: the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation,annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss oftemper, irritation, or the like. That's the definition of patience. Something i struggle with, and i know that people struggle with when having a friendship or something with me.
For example, my parents. i love my parents. i seriously don't think i could have better ones, even though they are strict and do make me do lots of things i may hate i know that i would not be the person i am without them. and i know that i would not have the relationship with God that i do without them. But as all parents do, they get on my nerves. sometimes the only thing i wanna do is get away from them, but eventually i do realize how great they are and how much patience they have with me.
Recently i made a mistake and got in trouble for it; that's happened a million times. But this time it's different, after getting in trouble i went on a walk with my dad and he was talking to me about it and i was seriously listening to learning. I learned that i have to give 100% in everything. My dad and i have a great relationship, i love my dad, he comes to every sports event, and every church thing and anything that i'm involved in. And my mom is the same way, i love her so much. and since she's my mom i can go to her about anything. But my mom, like most moms, also luggs me around ,and my friends, everywhere and never complains. And i'm just realizing how much patience that takes! i'm so thankful for them and patience. Without patience my parents wouldn't have effected me in the way they have, even though they and i are still working on patience it's something i'm thankful for. i've messed up so many times yet my parents still love me and they are very patient when i make mistakes.
So thank you mom and dad, for everything. i love you.
Hal.

Missing.
Have you ever held something in so long that one day you just feel like your going to burst?
That's me, in one sentence. Sure i'll tell people what's going on in my life but not all of it. i've never had that one person where i can just tell them EVERYTHING, every feeling, every thought, everything that has ever gone through my head. and that's why i created a blog.
Because i feel i don't need someone to read it, i don't need someone to tell everything too, just somewhere to get my feelings out. and that's my blog. i'm new to this whole blog thing so everyone i hope gets better, maybe, maybe not. who cares. it's my blog. so if you follow, Thank you! i'm glad you take time out of your day to read about my life; all the good and terrible things i'm thinking or that happen.
But back to how it started. since i've never found that person i tell everything to i often have days i'd like to call "suckfest days." These days are the ones where i don't care what you say to me, or how annoyed you get with my attitude, i'm in an awful mood, i don't really talk to anyone and i sulk. so if i ignored you today, sorry. but i feel i might burst. i don't know why but that's how i feel. and yeahh. i just had to get all that out.
This blog was probably reallllly annoying so i'm sorry but now you know why i blog.

Fall Weekend.
One week ago today I and about 60 some other people from Waynesboro High School would be at Rockbridge Alum Springs. If you've ever been to a camp out in the woods you know its great! it's a weekend to be away from everything in life that drives you crazy, and a weekend to refocus with God. amazing.
Going into Fall Weekend this year was different than last year, last year i was one of the kids that the campaigners would be loving, but this year i was the one loving girls. lets just say i was nervous. very much so. But one of my friends gave me some advice and said, " Hal they know you can do this, just go with the flow and rely on God completely." and man was she right. That's exactly what i did, and it worked. i met great girls, and started a friendship with them that i am continuing this year! it's great. Thank God i trusted on him.
Fall weekend is amazing. Anyone who has will tell that it truly is the BEST weekend of your life. Its a weekend where everyone, in different places in their relationship with God all grow. Some people have know clue who God is, some know who he is but still have some questions, some just need some more time, and some have relationship with him already; and everyone else in between. I saw one girl need lots of questions answers, i saw one grow even more and much more.
I absolutely can't wait till camp this summer and Fall weekend nest year.
Thank you God.
