Go With the Flow

This was posted on Mikaylaholman.blogspot.com. Co-posting will stop soon, so if you want to keep up with my blog, please go over follow there. 

Go with the flow 

Go with the flow 

Don’t fight it 

Don’t listen to people 

Telling you to fight 

Go with the flow 

Let your emotions 

Pull you out 

Be adrift on this water 

Of man built ideas 

On your whims and thoughts 

Don’t fight them 

Go adrift 

Don’t use your ore 

Be carried out where 

The waves crash 

Go with the flow 

Don’t go don’t go 

Fight your way out 

Fight against your own ideas 

Go against your emotions 

Don’t follow the current 

Of your own selfish ideas 

Fight your way to shore 

Paddle till you ache 

Make your way there 

Where you’ll be safe 

On a shore built by God 

With arms to hold you 

And to help you 

Don’t go with the flow 

Fight it, fight it

And find yourself 

On an unmovable shore

April Highlights

Hello everyone! This is one of my first duel posts. I won't be doing this for long, so please go over and follow me on Mikaylaholman.blogspot.com to keep updated!

Participated in Camp NaNo, and wrote 10,000 words. I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted in my story, but I did meet my goal.

So. Much. Weeding. But really, I loved it. 

I listened to Defy while water marbling. I recently discovered water marbling and I love it. 

I went to the dentist again, this one ended up being not so great, so we kind of just ignored all his advice. ;P  

I tried my hand at lemon pound cake. It turned out surprisingly well!

It was my Grandpa Leroy's birthday. He's in a nursing home, so we drove up to see him and spent the day with him. 

We went to an amazing passion play, and then we had our Passover celebration. On Easter we spent the whole day together at church, and then just chilling. Passover and Easter are my favorite holidays, so it was a really good weekend. 

I went to bible study with my sister Grace, and we had a late night fries run afterward. 

I registered for two events happening in six months. One a bubble run (I've never done one before, but they had free registration and it looked fun), and I registered to go back to the Gospel concert I attended last year.

My whole family went bowling. We found a great deal which included the food and went. I made two strikes, ate a ton of pizza, and had a blast. We had never been as a whole family before, so it was really fun to do. 

My sister Rose and I went to the beach for a couple of days, which was the best. I rode my first Ferris wheel, swam a ton in the ocean, rode the ferries, went to the Moody Gardens, and we ate ice cream on the beach. 

My favorite was probably my re-read of Defy, and my least favorite The Treasure of Secret Cove, though I liked all the books I read this month.
