Home Sweet Home

Well, we just got back from the glorious state of Michigan, so that went well. Except, I got kinda sick. I have a full blown cold, but the worst part is that I lost my voice. Well, partly. Its kinda raspy. Oh well. Hopefully it will clear all up. I really don't like being sick.

Got school agian tomorrow, so hopefully that all goes well. I think our week is pretty normal, not much really going on. Friday we have the fall youth retreat, so that should be fun. It sounds like they have some good stuff planned for us.

Ok, well, I'm going to go for now. Hope everyone is having a good night. I will post later (Lord willing)

Our romantic Lord

You know, last week in youth group I learned something I never knew before. Well, I kind of knew it, but it became more of a reality. In Proverbs, Proverbs 31:10 to be exact, it says, "Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies." I thought that that was soooo cool. It goes to show how much of a romantic the Lord is. haha, come to think of it He kind of created romance. Thanks to my buddy Carl for sharing that verse in youth group. I knew you were good for something. hehe, just kidding. :)

LIfe

Life. Wow. Sometimes it just seems like a lot. Thank goodness we have the Lord to lean on. Hope everyone out there is having a good night. I know this is short, but I'm going to go to bed. It's been a long day. I'll post later (Lord willing)

Brain Test!

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST Count every " F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS... (SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY ?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke. READ IT AGAIN ! Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down. The reasoning behind is further down.

The brain cannot process "OF". Incredible or what? Go back and look again!! Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Singing in the rain!

Wow! I think that is the first thunderstorm we've had in awhile. Sure is wet out there. Today has been good. Nothing new really. Going to get my hair cut in like half an hour, so that will be nice. I think then we're going to clean church and then back home, I think. Hopefully that won't take too long. If we all work together it should go pretty fast. I hope. Two more days 'till Elizabeth's quince. I can't wait! I finally get to wear a formal! yes! haha, probably will be the last time too. Oh well, I'll enjoy it while it lasts. Ok, well I'm going to run. Hope all you guys are having a good day. Post later (Lord willing)

A normal Wednesday

Today seems to be a pretty good day. haha, I feel so giddy! I have no idea why. surprise, surprise. It seems really nice outside today and for once it's acutally warm! yes! Sunshine! Anyways, we had piano this afternoon, so that went well. Tonight is youth group, so I'm looking forward to that. It should be really good. So come. You won't want to miss it.

Well, I better get a move on. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day! See most of you tonight. Post later (Lord willing)

Another day in my life

Oh, bbbuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so cold today. Did you know that it's only about 34 degrees above freezing?! haha. yeah. anyways, it's the beginning of another week. I think our's is pretty normal. Not really busy. My grandparents from Michigan came down on Thursday and stayed till Saturday, so that was nice. We won our soccer game 2-1. whhooooooooo!!!!!! It was really cold, but we warmed up after awhile. Thanks to Ty and Brittany for coming. I really enjoyed you guys being there. Last Friday we had our drama/choir class. We're putting on a Christmas Musical on December 1st. It should be a ton of fun. I can't wait! GUESS WHAT!?!?!?!?! I got one of the lead roles! I'm going to play the character of Ruth, the leader of the shepard kids. I even get to sing a solo! The twist on it though, is that I'm going to be singing a RAP solo. I couldn't believe it. It should prove to be quite interesting. Well, I better get going. Leave a lovely comment for me if you pretty please. Post later (Lord willing)

My day

Ok, well, I thought it was about time I posted. Today was our first day of soccer, so that was interesting. We're the purple team and it's a really pretty lilac purple. I have the same coach that I did last year, plus I know all the girls. We won our first game, 1-0. WHHHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Fun, fun. I played fullback for the whole game, but subed for the last few minutes. We only had one sub, so it was pretty tiring, but lots of fun. I got to see that certain someone too. Now that was quite interesting. We kinda got into a water fight of sorts, so that was fun.
Tomorrow, we're going up to Warren to see my uncle preach at his first service, so that should be interesting. I haven't seen the inside of they're church yet, so I don't know what to expect.
Well, I better go for now. Post later (Lord willing)

Picnic Time!

I know I haven't posted for awhile, so I thought now would be a great time. Today was the Sunday School Picnic and that was a ton of fun! Good food, vintage baseball game, soccer, contests, songs, and devotions. Lots of fun. I won, believe it or not, the seed spitting contest. Ya, I was surprised too. Had some great fellowship going on and if you missed it, it was your loss.
Well, school starts in 2 days, so that should be interesting. With that also comes soccer. I'm kinda nervous, but I'm sure it will go fine. I'm anxious to find out who is on my team and who my coach is. Also, every Saturday, I get to see a certain someone, so I'm excited for that too.
I know this was kinda short, but I've got to run. Hope all of you have a Happy Labor Day. Post later (Lord willing)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, I have a very important announcement to make. We are NOT, and I repeat, NOT moving to Florida. (and yes, I did hear that sigh of relief.) So, that is my news for the day. I'll post about Michigan later. Have a good night. Post later(Lord willing)

I Don't Want to Go

By: Avalon

You changed my world
When You came to me.
You drove a passion,
In my soul down deep,
Lord, to follow You in everything.

I don't want to go somewhere
If I know that You're not there,
'Cause I know that me without You is a lie.
And I don't want to walk that road,
Be a million miles from home,
Cause my heart needs to be where You are.
So I don't want to go.

So come whatever,
(Whatever may come)
I'll stick with You.
(Right by Your side)
I'll walk You'll lead me,
Call me crazy or a fool,
For forever I promise You...

That I don't want to go somewhere
If I know that You're not there,
'Cause I know that me without You is a lie.
And I don't want to walk that road,
Be a million miles from home,
Cause my heart needs to be where You are.
So I don't want to go
Without Your touch,
Without Your love
Filling me like an ocean.
For Your grace is enough,
Enough for me.

Never want to go somewhere
If I know that You're not there.
No, no, no, no.

I don't want to go somewhere
If I know that You're not there,
'Cause I know that me without You is a lie.
And I don't want to walk that road,
Be a million miles from home,
Cause my heart needs to be right where You are.
So I don't want to go. No, no.
Oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Without Your touch,
Without Your love
Filling me like an ocean.
Your grace is enough,
I don't want to go.

I don't want to go somewhere,
If I know that You're not there.
I don't want to be there without You.
Without your touch,
(I don't want to go somewhere,)
Without you love
(If I know that You're not there.
I don't want to be there without You.)
I don't want to go. No, no.
(I don't want to go somewhere,
If I know that You're not there.
I don't want to be there without You.)
If You're not there.
Filling me, loving me.
I don't want to go.
Don't want to go.
(Don't want to go, don't want to go there without you.)
There without you.
(Don't want to go)
Don't want to be
(Don't want to go, don't want to go)
There without you.
(There without you.)

Ok, I just want to clear something up here. For all of those who know about the thing with my dad's job, I just want to remind you about something. NOTHING IS FOR SURE YET! My dad doesn't even know if they're going to offer him a job or not. Ok? They could want him down there for a completely different reason. We don't know for sure. I just want you guys to keep in mind that ALL of this is in the Lord's hands. Just pray. Thats all we can do right now. Thanks for reading. I'll keep you guys updated. Post later(Lord willing)

When it rains, it POURS!

Well, Niagara Falls was lots of fun. Really pretty, but at the same time, REALLY HOT! Besides that though we had a great time. Once my pictures get developed I'll have to post a few and show you guys the Falls.
Tonight seems to be a ton cooler then the past two nights, which is a nice change. Our a/c isn't working at all, so all the windows are open and the fans are flying. :)
Well, that certain someone is off on vacation tomorrow. :( We said our final goodbyes just a few minutes ago, but despite that I already miss him. I know that I should trust God with the whole thing and I'm really trying to, but its still hard sometimes. I would be most greatful if you guys would pray for me. I'd really like that.
I better take off. Thanks for reading this. I will hopefully post later sometime. (Lord willing)
