| Well this is very unusual to have two posts in a weeks time. I am so glad to be on break right now, but I am ready for the things to come in the next awesome months. It is going to be great. I have had so much fun hanging with my girls and the Balentines and the Cammacks. It feels like I went home for break even though I really didn't go anywhere, but I sort of did. If anyone understood that then good, and if not then that is okay too. I have noticed that alot of things that I say lately people who haven't been through the smae thing or in the same situation don't have a clue what I am taliking about. Here is something everyone can understand though.
I was reading my bible the other night, and read one little verse that I know I have read before. It is one of those ones that you read and think that is good and then go on with your day. But if you let it really sink in and think about what it says it gives you a sense of purpose. Psalm 119:130 says "The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple." Wow how much truth the word of God holds. How much wisdom and guidance and direction for our lives. It is amazing how everytime I open my bible and truly read the words minister to my spirit. God knows just what we need to hear or read or sing, but it still amazes me how everything is just in the right time. That is the kind of awesome God we serve.
Okay so I have had an awesome break so far. I have gotten to hang with my girls, and spend some quality time with them. I have spent time with my family and with my other family (the cammacks). I have spent time with my friends who I have felt distanced from. It is amazing the comfort that comes from just being with people you are close to. Leah and I have had a blast the last week. We don't have to even do anything special but it is just fun to be together. Christmas was for lack of a better word magical. I got great gifts, got to see all the people I love and had fun.
So Sarah Beth tagged me so here goes:
I sleep with a special blanket, pillow, and two stuffed animals every night
I am addicted to Starbucks
I would rather spend every day with other people around me then to ever be by myself
The highlight of my day is to do something nice for someone else
I have truly learned to sacrifice everything to God is worth it and the only way to live your life
So there is my five things. I am tagging Leah, Rachel, Stephen, Bethy, and Kid so ya'll write five facts about yourself on your site. Everyone have a great night and remember Friday is my birthday: I wear a small, need a new purse, love cute jewelry and disney movies, and rue 21 is one of my favorite stores.

| Hey everybody! I am excited to get on xanga it has been crazy busy and I have not had a chance. I am so glad all my friends are getting xangas now. I get to talk to everyone when I get a chance to get on xanga. The funny part is that everyone I talk to on xanga I talk to in person more so.... I just wanted to tell everyone that I am so excited about Christmas. It is my favorite holiday and means more to me this year than ever before. I get to see my family and the Cammacks and work to make money and it is the Lord's birthday and mine, so many things are happening. I am about to be twenty. That is crazy to think about to me. It seems like just yesterday I was a kid.
Lets all take a trip down memory lane. I remember being the three musketeers, Ra being mean to me, crying together in Mrs. Hewitts class, laughing in science with hosea and bubbles, being twinkies with everyone was cool, snowing on new years, all the dumb boys I have liked, all the crazy friends I have had, all the great times, rolling down the hill and checking to see who was driving by, blue moon laughs with AshT, riding in the cart at Walmart, dressing like Bucky in the parking lot, filming horse cross sign, going to Marshall to see the lights, so many memories.
Now I think about all the friends I don't see and won't be close with anymore. I guess it is part of growing up. I do know that there are some friends that I can't get rid if I wanted to no matter if they are married and have kids we will still be friends. I wouldn't have it any other way. I know that there is a time for everything and everything has its season, and this is mine to grow up. It is different and sometimes it makes me sad, but there are so many new joys that I have ahead of me like marriage (fifty years from now) and children and being an old lady rocking on my front porch watching my grand kids play while holding hands with my husband. I am ready for whatever God has for me in this new season of my life.
Everyone have a blessed Holiday Season and Merry Christmas! Don't forget my birthday on the 30th and all my presents ;). | | |
| It is so good to be back, although today has been crazy. I enjoyed my break somewhat. I had so much fun shopping with Leah and staying at her house it was like old times again. Home, well that is another story. My dad, when will he ever learn. I am not really sure if he gets anything at all. I got really discouraged about him, but then the Lord reminded me that I can't bear the forgiveness for my family that can only come from Jesus and they have to want it. I had fun at Bethy's house and talking to Stephen. I was ready to be back though. I am ready for Christmas break so I can go visit Tech. I got to go it is time to leave. I willl try to write more tomorrow. | | |
| First thing is first. I need to put up a new picture. By the by if the same dumb song is playing on my xanga that has been on there forever then I am sorry. I just don't have time for anything anymore it seems like. I do have something really cool to share with you guys.
So God has been dealing with me alot about the thing most precious to me that He is calling me to give up for Him. If you know what I ma talking about then you know. Okay anyways, He told me to read Gen 22 last night, so I pulled out my Dakes and read like crazy. Every side note and commentary it had. Little did I know that I really just needed to read the scripture. In verse 14 when Abraham finds the ram in the thicket that offers as a sacrifice, he makes an alter and calls it Jehovah Jireh. It might not sound like much to you guys but his was awesome to me. Let me explain. We have been practicing a human video which we did Wed. night at FWC and my part in it is the widow woman who gives the two mites (all she has) to God. The part in the song when I am acting this out is saying the words Jehovah Jireh my provider. Through the whole song, even when everyone elses parts change mine stays the same. I think maybe God wants me to get that He is my provider.
I think I felt God when I was typing that just now.
Lately I have been really emotional so pray for me that I can just trust God totally for the promises He has given me and not let the devil tell me lies.
By the way if anyone ever reads this and needs prayer for anything just post it and I will definitely pray for you.
I am ready for thanksgiving break to be here. So many fun things to do. I am ready to hang with my best friends. I miss Leah so much.
K that is all K bye (this is something my housemate always says.)
Just so everyone knows I handled up on that church sign today. I was a beast with that beastly thing. why you might ask, b/c I am the original manhoss. | | |
| Well just to catch everyone up on what has been going on in my life
lately. I am always super busy doing everything and
anything. We are 2 1/2 months into Masters and it is great and
uhhh at the same time, but mostly great though. We went to chi
alpha service last Tuesday night and I saw a few of my choir
friends. I missed it so much. I really wish Em had been
there b/c I really miss her. Then Leah and Rach cooked dinner for
us and we hung out at their place. When we left I cried like a
big baby. I cried at first b/c i missed them and being there,
then I cried b/c God is just so awesome. More than I miss being
there I am so excited about being where God wants me to be. I
know that I am in the center of His will and it is an awesome
feeling. I am just so thankful that God kept telling me when I
was doubting. I have made some awesome new friends who I love so
much. Trae and Ben are two of the greatest guys I know.
Lydia and I are so close and who knew we were so much alike. It
turns out we have been going through the same things lately. God
has been telling me lately to really find out who I am. I don't
have to depend on other people for my identity. I guess that is
one of the things I miss most about being gone from Tech. There I
was free to be myself completely. I didn't have anyone with any
kind of preconceived notion of who I am. I guess I try to much to
fit inside of the bubble that people expect me to be, and who ever knew
that I didn't have as much confidence as I once thought. God has
been trying to tell me to trust Him to show me who I am and that I can
do so much more than I think. He has called me to fbe faithful
and He is definitely teaching me faith. That is just a little bit
of what has been going on. I love you guys. talk ot you sooner
than last time I promise.
