Mom

God combined the beauty of the first snowfall...
The fragrance of a rose...
The heart of an angel...
A personality that ever glows...
The gentleness of the morning sun...
The soul of the stars at night...
The peace of the sleepers mind...
The grace of a bird in flight.
Then God, from all theses things
Had made a creation like no other,
And God had the perfect name for it
He simply called it Mother.

Faith

Well to be completly honest, it has been an extremly hard year so far. Im a junior in high school which isnt just an ease by year. And to add to that, youth band, youth chorus, corps activities, and school activities, there is just no time to relax for myself it seems. I sometimes feel as if im drifting away from the Lord, but once again in his amazing ways, he always seems to get a hand on me and give me a tug back. Its so hard to try and balance everything going on in life right now. I mean i love everything im a part of, but i almost feel as if im two different people. Im one person at school, then another with army friends. And thats not how i want to be. Its just so hard to go against the crowd, and try to go in a different direction then everyone else. Im sure im not the only one that feels that way. I want to be an inspriation to people at school and i want them to look at me and say, wow, there is something different about her. And i want them to want what i have, and thats God. So i just ask that whoever reads this, please just pray for me. Please pray for the strength i need to not only survive high school, but to make a difference at my high school.

Change

This is a poem that i wrote when i was in the middle of moving and changing schools.

Life is going by, and time just seems to fly,
Nothing feels the same, 'cuz its all about to change,
Scared and so confused, with nothing left to choose,
Was feeling all alone, but then my Lord showed through,
Trust when life gets rough,
Faith always is enough,
And always know, that Jesus will come through
He knows my plans, I'm safe inside his hands,
My Lord and Savior, he's always there for me.

Its a GIRL!!!

As you may or maynot have known, my Aunt Tam (moms sister) is pregnant and we found out a few days ago that its going to be a GIRL!!!! She needs a girl in that crazy household!!

God dosnt make overnight deliveries, but on time deliveries!

Wow i havent posted in a while! Life has been keeping me busy! Well as most of you probably know i was living in my camper from August 27th until October 30th. So basically two months which was really hard and challenging. Now, i am in my new house, have a firm foot in the door at school and things are becoming normal.
Army Stuff....
I made the GNY youth band and the chorus!! YAY so mondays i have been attending those practices. Tuesdays are corps activities which include jr. band, singing company, sr. band, theory, songsters and a sacred dance class i just started. And then just other FET's and events!
School.....
Wow where to begin with this subject!?!? Id have to say the worst part of the day is the morning bus. Trying to find a seat is like finding a needle in the hay sack! Everybody looks at you as if you have five heads! The bus is made for 44 people and seats like 60! So i try to squeeze in a seat with middle schoolers cuz they get off first then i have the seat to myself!! Always thinking!
The classes are pretty difficult because they taught some stuff last year that i obviously didnt learn but other than that.....im catching up. I have made some friends, found somebody to sit with in lunch and at least two people i know in each class. I started swimming in gym! its not as bad as i thought because its co-ed and all but since im so selp concious, it makes me kinda intimidated. But other that that stuff, things are starting to turn around!
Home.....
We are all beginning to like eachother again, since we have a house and more than one bathroom! Things are becoming more real and normal, well maybe not normal yet but its just starting to kick in that im not going back to florida and this is life now.....kinda scary!

Everythings New

Well this morning my parents took me, Lorissa and Peter to register at our new schools. We are all in different schools but they are all on the same property. Now some of this may sound pretty typical to all of you but im coming from a school where there were 400 people from 6-12 grade. But there are a few soccer fields, two fooball fields, a HUGE track circle thingy, a tennis court and then just some plain fields for like recess for the elementary kids. This place is huge! No joke! My school has this huge auditorium with a balcony and Lorissa has an auditorium too! Then mine also has a pool which is required for gym....im so going to refuse!!!! I am honestly very scared! I dont know anybody, i dont know where im going, everything is new and its just frightening. But I know the Lord has everything planned out and i should just leave everything in his hands. So please keep us in your prayers.
'For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.
-Jeremiah 29: 11-
