Beauty

well today is Easter and its a beautiful day. I feel like thats appropriate. The weird thing though is that Friday it was rainy and depressing. Also very fitting for Jesus dying. But thats not why I write.

This past week was spring break. My family (and grandparents) went on a trip to the Smoky Mountains. We rented a cabin and for the first day or so just hung out. It was beautiful. I can't even describe it but you could definitely tell it was made by God. and only HE could make it.

On one of our excursions a song on the radio came on that I thought was very fitting.

He can move the mountains

My God is mighty to save

He is mighty to save

Forever author of salvation

He rose and conquered the grave

Jesus conquered the grave

Happy Easter. Hope you all have a great day!

green

it started to rain today after school. this excites me because then the grass will be all nice & green for soccer season!
we start practice on tuesday finally WOO!!!

oh & HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
(i never got pinched!)

Please Pray & Praise God!

This is sooo exciting!! i got the call yesterday saying I am accepted to a short term summer missions trip called Asia's Hope. I have been waitinf for what seems like forever to get the call. through the time though, God has taught me just to be patient and he has other plans than my own.
Details about the trip:
Its June 12-27. We will be spending the first week in Cambodia and then take a small plane to Thailand. The exciting part is that these (i believe) are the orphanages that I got to help start this summer at Momentum Youth Conference. I am excited to meet my team, the children & be changed in an AMAZING God way!
please pray that all the details come together & that we get there safely. While I am there pray that i will find food to eat & that the team, the orphans & I have open hearts for God to change us!

God works in amazing ways... This summer is going to be awesome!!!

facebook usage...

because i have been home lately & on facebook so much i started wondering how much people were really on there.

so here are some statistics...

More than half of Facebook users are outside of college

wisdom teeth...

well to start off this is my first blog ever!

not really sure what i'm going to write about but here we go...

I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday & i am told that i did some very funny things... so i am going to make fun of myself in this first one...


1) I am learning sign language & so when i first got to the recovery room i started signing letters to my dad (who knows NO sign language). the only thing he did understand was food... i was sooo hungry because you can't eat after midnight. which sucks by the way!

2) i finally woke up & became VERY emotional. my band-aid that i had on was just a cotton ball & tape. I started crying & saying pretty band-aid. but when you cant feel your mouth apparently it comes out very funny.

3)after i recovered somewhat from the band-aid incedent i relized that the doctor never asked me to count down. that was the ONE thing i was actually looking forward to. so i started crying AGAIN!!!

so there is your laugh for the day hopefully.
