Nervous, yet excited!

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!

~~NEWS~~

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!
