Some people think that life is a contest. They believe that the amount of stuff you have been through is a competition and whoever has been through the most wins. I believe the person who goes through the most with a smile on their face should win. I don't understand how people can treat other people so horribly, and not even consider, "Hey maybe they go through a lot and are struggling to get to tomorrow." Some people are afraid to wake up in the morning, because they were afraid of what might come their way. I've been afraid before. Before you say something hurtful to me, just realize:
I know how it feels to have a grandmother who doesn't really remember me.
I know how it feels to have a mother who was scared because of cancer.
I know how it feels to be lied to.
I know how it feels to be cheated on.
I know how it feels to be pressured.
I know how it feels to be hurt.(Physically and emotionally)
I know how it feels when you think that you have nobody to rely on.
I know how it feels when you lose someone you love.
I know these things and yeah life is hard. But through everything I have tried my hardest to be like my mother and my grandmother and smile through everything.
My grandma. She was a widow at 40, and now she doesn't remember anything, but she still wakes up every morning and smiles, and she knows that she has people who love her and she knows that God will always be there for her. And he is faithful.
My mother. Lost her daddy when she was 20, went through breast cancer, and now has a mother who has to battle Parkinsons and Lewy Body Dementia.
I'm amazed by these women who go through so much, and yet smile everyday of their life and take it by the horns and they don't let anybody get in their way.
If anything I wish to be more like them.
The main point I want to get across is
Yeah; Life is hard, but you have to realize God knows what he is doing. Everything happens for a reason and through it all you just have to smile. He will never put more on you than he believes you can take. Mama always says, "I sometimes wish God didn't trust me so much." lol But he trusts her because she is strong and he knows she'll get through it and won't give up.

"Speak God's name; Satan Trembles.
Speak God's word and watch him flee."

We are currently in Beaumont, Texas. We just finished up a Gaither concert so of course I had tons of fun. I love doing these shows because you get to see all of your friends. Everyone is so supportive and loving out here! It's like a second family(: So anyway I'm sitting on the bus waiting for them to finish loading up and decided to do a blog. For those of you wondering, Mom is doing great! She's healthier than ever and she looks great(: Nothing real new is going on with me so I guess I'll leave it here. Tomorrow we're in Houston so I hope to see any of you out there. (:

God Bless

Ok let's catch up!

September-February:
I celebrated a great birthday! I'm so excited to have my learners permit! I also bought my own car and I am making my own car payments...yikes. We went on the West Coast tour which was hectic but exciting to see everything. We saw the Cirque show The Beatles Love in Vegas and it was worth the money! I had a great Christmas, and it was exciting to see Maura around Christmas Time. In February we went on the Mexico Cruise and it was so much fun! Nothing reallllly exciting happened.

Today: Currently we are working on a new CD that I'm STOKED for! You guys are gonna love it. I'm excited for it to come out. I'm on the Girl's Varsity Tennis Team and it's so much fun and I love it. In Musical Theater We are working on Suessical(DR. SUESS) and I am a Bird Girl. It's a blast being able to be apart of all of these school activities. Today has been crazy. I have kookamongaphobia. Lol the Kookamaonga is in Memphis and it used to be known as the Sasquatch but they recently changed it. It's like a 4lb+ burger. lol Only 5 people have defeated it. This one guy did it in 7 MINUTES! Crazy. lol So we drove all the way to Memphis but a snow storm came so we're on our way home. It's hard having to deal with teenage stuff plus traveling. I just sometimes wish I could pause time just to take a breath. Thank you for keeping up with my blog and I'm going to try and update more often. (:

The Call;

2008-08-29T10:34:00.000-07:00

We just got back from the Gaither Homecoming Alaskan cruise! I had a BALL! It was so great to see everybody again. I'm ready for the fall tour to start back up! I also got to see a lot of my friends which was amazing(: Great crowds and..pretty good waters :| We're singing in Alabama today. Mom started her chemo Monday. It's hitting all of us pretty hard but she's being very strong and she's such a great role model. I want to thank all of you for your prayers. You have no idea how much it's helping us get through this! I know a lot of my titles are songs that have absolutely nothing to do with any of the posts but it's the song I'm listening to currently and I just put it in there. Maura is actually going through her potty training right now. Wow that's fun *sarcasm. haha I started school a few weeks ago. I do go to public school. They work with us and say I can miss as much as I need but I just have to keep up my grades so if you ever don't see me on the road, that's why. hahaha But yeah I would just like to thank all of you for what you have done! You are the best people in the world(:

God Bless,

So as some of you know
My mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
She was diagnosed on the 2nd of July and had her surgery just a few days later
About a week after the Surgery we found out there were 20 in the lymph nodes but only 2 out of those 20 were Cancer Cells which is excellent but she has to do Chemo. This is all so different to me; My mom has never been sick; She's always the one taking care of the sick people. Mom starts her Chemo after we get off of the Alaskan Cruise I think. She might lose her hair and she bought her wig last night. I've tried to stay calm about this whole thing but it's definitely hard. I just don't want anything to happen to her and how are we supposed to explain to my 2 year old sister that mommy is going to lose her hair. What do we tell her? She's already Petrified of hair cuts. So I've been handling it the best I can but today it hit me that school starts in just a matter of like 2 weeks. As most of you know my parents sing Gospel music and they travel everywhere. I recently began singing with them and traveling everywhere they go and the school has worked with us and said as long as I keep my grades up I can miss as much as I need. So I'm gonna have to deal with My mom losing her hair and going through her Chemo; Keeping my grades up; Dealing with High School drama; Having to Deal with being a freshmen(the bottom of the food chain); And With that I have to deal with Hitting all of the notes I sing right and having to be on the road doing all of my work, I just don't know if I'll be able to handle it. I'm going to be missing the first day of school and then a week after that I'll be missing the WHOLE week for the Alaskan cruise so I'm going to have to deal with angry teachers. But God said; He'd never put more on us than we can bare. I'm just trusting him with that;
Well I thought I'd catch you up with what's going on with me.
Just keep praying<3

Thread Of Hope.

Today was pretty rough;
I received some news I really didn't want to hear;

Don't Be Afraid;
Just Believe.

That is the one quote that got me through the day;

Anyway to get my mind off of that;
We got home this morning at around 9am

This weekend we had shows in, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Finally Mississippi

After the Mississippi date they did a fireworks show and It was so pretty;
Maura thought we were at Disney World.
haha

Knowing me I went to sleep at around 4am and then woke up at 2pm
Mom and Dad were at the Doctor
and so my brother and I went to Augusta and went to Barnes and Noble and Best Buy.

We had a bet that if whoever lost 10 pounds the other person had to buy that person what they wanted
My brother lost 10 lbs so I was supposed to buy him a PS3 but He told me that he'd buy it himself.
So I decided to be Morgan and SPLURGEEE
I got a $700 professional Camera.
haha
Yeahh I know .
xD

But at Barnes and Noble My brother got his "graphic novels" AKA Batman Comic Books.
xD

While I on the other hand went to the Magazine section
I got a WHOLE NICK magazine and then the People Jonas Magazine.

So right now I'm listening to some Old School Jeff and Sheri
Thread of Hope.
(:

So yeah I'll leave you with some of the pictures I took.
I'm gonna have A LOT of fun with this camera
xD

Thanks for reading.

-Morgan<3

ARE THEY NOT INCREDIBLE?!?!? xD
