Blast From the Past

WOW I found this link as I was looking over old notes people had Emailed me....So much has changed since this time... I remember the worry, and tears, and Joy, and Prayer, and Faith!! So much emotion going on for those many months, and yet through this Trial God was faithful, and never left us. *Sigh. God is amazing, and through that struggle as I look back I see how much I have grown in my faith. Because of all the prayer, and miracles during that time, I depended on God more than I had ever depended on him. Jeremiah 29:11 My life verse came into work here. The reality hit me that even though I can't see God in a physical form, hes here. He had/has us in his hands. He has plans for each of us, and nothing is done with out purpose.

Holy Spirit, Pink eye, and Lord of the Rings.

Well this certainly was an interesting week. Above and beyond most. I think I was rolling on the floor laughing more than I was standing. It all began with Friday. If being hit with a bible is what led to being filled with the Holy Spirit, I would have burst from overfill. Through out the entire Friday evening, while I was out with my youthgroup, I made it my mission to bother David, one of the youthleaders who's goal in life is to make mine miserable LOL. So throughout the entire carride to the mall, I was poking him(I even got a few others to help me) I fully expected him to lean his seat really far back, or something of that nature, but instead he turnd around and hets me with his Bible. At first I'm not sure what to do, So I look at him, and that went on the entire night, He did this multiple times through out the entire night lol . Now Later that night, We had 4 cars total about 4 people in each, Well I was riding in the same care with Andy(driver), David, and Beka. Well we parked on the otherside of the parking lot. So we got out preparing to walk, when we suddenly see Micheal running towards us, it takes a total of 10 seconds for us to look at eachother jump back in the car and drive away. So Micheal is running after us at about 10 at night in a parking lot. So anyways when we finally got back to the church that night 12:30am (The guys all sleep over at the church every other Friday night and stay up praying.) We decided we would all(Chelsea-Youth Leader, Micheal, Myself, and anyone who wanted to join us) get up at 9 the next morning and watch Lord of the Rings-the extended version.

Saturday, Chelsea and I were up bright and early we got to the church at 9 to find all the guys still asleep. So we got in there and began squeaking our shoes on the carpet(dont ask how that worked, but it did LOL) 3/6 guys poked there heads up. and 2 of them rolled over and fell back to sleep. Micheal finally got up and blared music, which got them up and moving. We finally started the movie at 10. after we watched the first half of the first movie we lost most of the guys. So it was just Micheal, Chelsea, and I. Throughout the movie our group gained and lost people, During the third movie we had Micheal, Chelsea, Tim, Kierra, and I(a very odd group if I may say) the guys got a little crazy by the second half and were crawling/ running around the church with dark sheets tied as capes. Every once in a while we would see one of there heads pop up and duck back down. Now after a bit we stopped seeing them. We didn't know where they were or if they were still around. Suddenly after 10 minutes of silence from them we heard a huge thud, and laughter in the back of the church. Tim had run into closed door, and Micheal was standing over him laughing.

Sunday after church I went over for game night at Ruthies, we played Apples to apples Bible edition, but they play that you can defend your card/come up with an arguement as to why the person should pick your cards. The arguements got very funny. I had gotten the card Clean- (tidy, and neat) People thought a Fattened calf, Flood, and a few other wierd cards were clean... I ended up picking the fattened calf, but it was funny hearing the arguements.

So yeah Monday my dad, kyle, and I went out to look for a new keyboard for me. We ended up hanging out at urgent care most of the day. Kyle got Pink eye. =( We dropped Kyle off and then went and looked at pianos again. I got a FULL keyboard. Its got 88 keys, not just 36 like my old one, and weighted keys. I got dropped off at Tutoring, the girln I usually tutor was gone so I substituted and the girl I tutored was full of giggles and it was alot of fun!! For a challenge at tutoring all the students have been challenged to learn the fruits fo the spirit and all the books of the New Testament. I couldn't believe how few I remembered... I should know them *sigh* Next week I will have it memorized!! and No one will be able to laugh at me lol =)

This was written specificaly for my sister

Brianna was just talking to me and she asked me why I hadn't blogged in a while. Of course I told her my week has been busy, which it has been, So I'm going to tell you whats been going on this last week, Hopefully I remember everything.
Ok Last Wensday I spent the entire day working on HW, and that evening I went to Youth Group ran powerpoints, hung out with friends, and had Kyle in my hair most of the night. Kyle didn't like having to sit still and he ended up running everywhere, and getting into things he shouldn't have, but what do you expect from 4 year old?
Thursday... ummm.... I honestly dont remember much. I think I spent the whole day working on HW, and that evening I met up with a friend who helped me Geometry.
Friday I spent the whole day with my dad. My dad, Kyle, and I went down in the truck to Hope for the City and met our friend Paul down there we picked up a bunch of stuff my dad left Kyle an I in the truck I rolled down the window because the weather was SOO nice, High 30's, also Kyle had really bad breath LOL. We wet over to Boston Market, Kyle and I went home, Kyle took a nap, I did some HW, and then that evening my dad and I went down to Street Level we (about 20 of us) spent time Praying, my dad and I led worship, and then we all split up and went out witnessing. Me and my partner went down to the MOA, and talked to a few people. My dad stayed downtown and because of Gods protection he was saved from potentially becomeing a perminent addition to the side of a brick building. We got home about 1 am on Saturday =)
Saturday was actually a pretty quite day. My mom and Kyle were at the cabin, My dad was gone most of the day working, and Kiera, and I hung around the house. It was a good day.
Sunday we had church. I helped lead worship,and then I went down stairs and taught sunday school (the kids and I always have fun!!). Afterwards we celebrated our friends 90th birthday, shes apart of our church, With a luncheon at the church. Kierra, and I went home and hung out.That night we watched a movie(The Secret Life of Bee's-A REALLY GOOD MOVIE), and had popcorn with my dad. It was alot of fun.
Monday I had alot of HW and so I would of had Tutoring, but I stayed home to get caught up instead, unfortunatly. I also began to write a Drama for our Good Friday Service.
Tuesday Was good quiet and filled with HW. Andy(Kyles friend came over) andKierra hung out with them. Also my computer wasn't working right. My internet wouldn't work so I had to use my moms compute *Sigh* I let it sit overnight hoping it wouldwork again today. Also I finished the drama for Good Friday, now all I need are 2 guys, 2 girls, and 1 female voice.
Wensday(Today) I woke upat 10:30(I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!) Well once again my computer wouldn't work so I'm probally going to have to call the school and see if A.) they can fix it or B.) they will need to send me a 4th new one. UGH!! I went over to the ad building here on campus, an I took pic's of my friends "BF" Jack "The Snow Man" Frost LOL.. and I'mnow gettign ready to go to Youth Group. So thats my week in a quick post LOL... Brianna I hope you are happy now that I have posted more =)

Although the quality is REALLY bad... atleast you will be able to get the idea. This is the song I wrote, I'm playing piano and singing... I recorded this using my camera lol it took 4 tries because the paino kept overpowering my voice... I finally decided this was good enough. LOL I suggest using headphones.. it gives you the best sound =)

Thats early for me!!) finally sick of the mess and decided to clean it!! And I'm glad I did There are some pics as to what it looked like before... EEEK!!!
