Hey y'all!
So today is the 10 day mark! I will be leaving for AZ in 10 days! Then from AZ we shall drive the rest of the way! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!! But I am also sooo nervous! More nervous about the packing really. It is just a lot to think about! I have to pack my WHOLE room up! UGH! Not all of it is going to college, most to stay in De La Grandmama's Attic. haha It is nerve racking just to think about me being an adult! I just filed out my form for voting!! It is insane!! Just a lot to take in. Ugh! Well off to bed. Kinda, sorta, not really, has potential to be a busy day tomorrow.
Good Night Bloggers!

Hey ya'll!
I know it has been practically all summer since I wrote! Summer has been great! I didn't get any over the 20 jobs I applied for! :( But I have been babysitting and doing odd jobs so I have been making money. The Lord has been good to me and has given me more than one job every week so far!
We have been having VBS all this week. Tonight is the 3rd night. Lael said that if we have 100 he will buy ice cream. We hit 95 last night! I am not expecting to hit it tonight since it is Wednesday, but the the Lord can do all. I am just so glad to see the Lord blessing all our hard work!
I have been doing well with my devotional life. I am really seeing God's hand work in my life. I applied for College and just need one more Reference and Pastor's reference and I am finished with applying!
So I started this blog and forgot to finish it! Sooooo here it is! This was written in July during VBS! We got that ice cream as well as 33 kids saved! PRAISE THE LORD!

I'm Back! :)
Hello Everyone!
So the countdown to graduation is over and the countdown to college is almost up! I can hardly believe that I will be attending West Coast Baptist College in 14 days! WoW! :) Super exciting! I am just about ready! I am really praying I get on their Work Study Program!
The Lord has been working in my life like never before! I am seeing prayers answer and a feel His presence in my life. I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for me!
This summer may have been the worst, but best. Worst because I have been going through trails like it is no body's business, but best because the Lord has help me through it all. Some things that have happen this summer is a little boy I know named Buddy Morningstar is battle cancer. Buddy (I do believe) is 5, and has a really rare mental problem. Buddy's cancer is suppose to be SUPER treatable, but the tumor has actually grown! And he only has one functional kidney (it is kidney cancer). The doctors just told the family there is nothing that can be down for him anymore. I know God has a plan and a purpose, but I still can't help to ask "why?".
My family has gone throw some stuff as well as my church, but I believe it has help grow stronger as a family and a church!
My school is struggling and we are praying for 40 students. Praise the Lord we have (as far as I know) 29! Prayfully the Lord will bless us with the rest!
My church monthly average offerings have gone up! And we started the Bus Ministry again and Soul-Winning on Thursday Nights! The Lord has blessed.
Sometimes it is sooooo easy to dwell on the bad and the negative times, and forget the good times even happen. I could probably name you more bad times than good. But if we wrote down every time something bad has happen and every time something good has happen, the good would out weigh the bad. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 29:9 that if we keep His commandment that we shall prosper. Jeremiah 29:11 says God has plans for us, and not evil ones. It goes on to say that if we look for God, we WILL find Him! Praise the Lord that God can't lie! If God says it, that is the end of the discussion!
I have been keeping a journal this summer. A personal one, but I do hope that I can continue blogging. I pray that someone will stumble across it, and be blessed by it!

EXPLOSION!
Ok sorry about the explosion of blogs! I am hoping to start maybe writing weekly! :)
SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER!!! 36 days! (That includes holidays and weekends!) Can't wait! Graduation is sooo soon! I have ALOT to do! A Lit Project, a book report, a 5k, finish the rest of my work, and graduation stuff! Oh and my cousin is getting married at the end of MAY!!! Exciting stuff!
So lately I have been trying to read a Psalms or a couple of Psalms a day to help me stay on the island of praise. :) Psalms is such a great book! David just pours himself completely and totally into God's hands. Most of them are asking God to forgive him or to save him from his enemies! Then there are the Psalms that just describe God and his power. I just read a chapter that talked about God's voice! It is really interesting!
I really don't wanna be a negative person. I want to be a happy positive person, a loving person, a person who understands, and a forgiving person. The last one is really my downfall that and being understanding. I never thought I was too terrible at forgiveness and understanding, but this last couple years I find very hard to be!
For the last month I have been looking for a job! PLEASE PRAY I GET ONE! I have put 9 different applications in! 9! I really don't wanna work at McDonald's! SO please pray I can get a job!
Well it is really past my bed time! Night night! :)

My view of life in people form. (Lit. assignment)
Life is a vapor which will soon pass away.
No one can really know his last day,
Or really tell when it will begin.
Life isn't a game you can win.
Life is like a race.
You have to set your own pace.
You have to endure through the pain,
And struggle through life's rain.
In life's race you can't cheat,
But one day you're Saviour you'll meet.
The Death of Sarah (23)
Sarah dies and Abraham wants to give her the proper burial. SO he asked the sons of Heth if he may buy one of their caves. They said yes. So Abraham buries Sarah.
Isaac as a Sacrifice (22)
The Lord saw Abraham's love for Isaac and that it was great. Now, the Bible doesn't say, but maybe Abraham wasn't talking or walking with the Lord like he was before Isaac was born. But the Lord decided to put Abraham through a test. He told Abraham to sacrifice his son, and Abraham would have if it was for the Lord stepping in! Abraham proved his love to the Lord, and in return the Lord blessed him!
