Tweet Something I noticed.. People aren’t very aware..and I am definately included in this. But as I’ve grown up and am now almost done with high school I have come to realize over and over how true it is. For the most part people are very wrapped up in themselves and not very focused on others. I have been studying Christ’s life with my SMITE group and let me tell you-He was a very other focused man. He could sense people’s needs and was available to meet every one. One of my favorite miracles of Jesus is when He heals the women with the bleeding disorder. She crawled into the…

Tweet No Regrets Kinda a strange title for my post, but then again it does fit. This past weekend I was with one of my dear friends on her houseboat. I had so much fun..although I am a bit sunburned and very sore. I learned how to water ski, went tubing(which by the way, is the funnest thing!), and conquered one of my fears-jumping off high places into water. I am a chicken..you are lucky to get me off a diving board. So when they said we were going to the cliffs I about freaked out. What was I going to do! We got there and they didn’t look that…

Tweet School’s Out! Just have to say I’m a SENIOR!!! I’m so excited..but you know what, more then that, I’m excited I still have some time to grow and change and make an impact around here. Yeah, it’ll be great to graduate..but it’s not going to be here for a little while. Until then, I’m just gonna focus on here and now. and by the way, SMITE is gonna rock..just had to say that! Rausch and Wickert-it’s gonna be a blast girls..”I’m not washing my hair, taking a shower, or shaving:)!” LOL..fun times!! Eve-Yeah Goodwill shorts..:) Angela-what can I say girl, your a blast! It’s gonna be so hot, but…

Tweet Reflections Wow..hard to believe it, but another school year has come and gone. I’m going to be a senior and that is completely beyond my scope of reasoning..it seems like yesterday I was in 7th grade. My how the time has flown. As I was finishing up my last exams today and heading home, one of my teachers said to me, “well, how’s it feel to be a senior?” My first thought was, wait a second, I’m not a senior. I drove off thinking, my how many things about this year I wish I could have done differently. I wish I hadn’t gotten in so many fights with Emily..I…

Tweet SATs SATs are the best way to ruin someone’s confidence and future plans. One bad day and you are stuck going to a community college studying the art of folding clothes. It’s like-who cares. Colleges should pick a new equaller-one that is actually possible to do well on if you are not a genius. You can be a staight A student..but get a lousy SAT score and be marked forever. Not to mention that once you take them the first time, it kinda ruins your desire to ever take them again. 4 hours of doing the same thing over and over-talk about boring. So to all of you who…

Tweet I decided I hate moving on. I know it is a necessary part of life-people must move on and so must I-but that still doesn’t mean I like it. Sometimes I question God’s doing in things-it’s as if, I have all this knowledge-I know God is good, His way is perfect..but then, BANG-someone decides it is time to move on. And of course, it is usually someone very near to my heart, someone I respect and look up too. But it is not my place to question God..and while I still don’t like it, I will have to put my trust in God and learn to rely on Him.…

Tweet God’s grace is amazing! Do you realize that? Lately, I have been overwhelmed by the presence of God’s grace in my life. I am amazed that I can get up every morning and trust that God has my life in His hands. Yes, I’ve shed my share of tears lately-but I am over and over reminded that God is enough. He has provided for me in some awesome ways. And although my dad is still jobless-I know this is part of His plan too. If for no other reason then to bring me to a place of utter reliance on God. Right now-I have no idea how things are…
