Long time, no post! but seriously though I haven't posted in forever! yall probably thought i forgot about this thing, haha. well i was sitting in Web Design and i realized i haven't posted in a really long time, so i decided to do so!! Alot of things has happened since i last posted, school started, ugh, and so did cross country yay! Over the summer me and ash went to go visit some colleges, Ash wants to be teacher and im not really sure what i wanna do. I do know that i want to go to a small christian college like North Greenville or Anderson. So please pray for me and Ashley for God to tell us what to do and where to go, because I sure don't know! So who's ready for this hot weather to go bye bye, i know i sure am, i hate running in it and its just so miserable, but o well I know God has given us hot weather for a reason....o yea i would like to say thank you to all the people that prayed for me while i was sick!! it helped a whole lot!
So the other night, i was reading my bible and came upon this bible verse, well duh but anyways it was John 15:18-19. "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." Okay well I dont know about you, but i dont think that the whole world hates me because I love Jesus, i am a people pleaser and i just dont like anybody being mad or dissappointed in me but if the world hates me then let it, because I dont live for the World, I live for GOD!! so please pray that I dont let the world get the best of me, and to stay true on the path God is taking me on! Thanks!
Today is Katie's Birthday!! Make sure you all say happy birthday to her on Sunday!!

Start of the Summer
Hey Everyone!! Sorry I haven't posted lately, but I was on vacation last week, and I've haven really had time to write on this thing this past week. But right now im waiting for lunch to cook, so i decided that i would write on my blog. Today me and Ash had cross country practice at 6:30 this morning, it was awesome. its a great way to start the day, im near as tired as i was yesterday when i slept till 10. Its funny how that happens. Anyways, after that me and ashley went to go look for a job! we want to work at a daycare but we have had no luck, they have a age restriction, and i really wanted to work at Standing Springs because my cousins go there, and i thought that would be so kool to work there, but yea you have to be 18, so thats not gonna work out. So if you have any ideas or anything, let me and Ashley know! thanks!!
I am so pumped for VBS!! I love it, seeing the little kids get so excited about it!! It just makes me so happy!! I can't wait to start decorating, i love that part too. I keep begging my mom to let me go and help, so hopefully we will go today!! I really want to! I love the song for it, it just makes me so happy!! im gonna tell it to my cross country coach, ill think he'll like it as well!! Run, Run the race, keep, keep the pace, run, run the race, keep keep the pace. Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!! Has a nice lil beat to it! I like to sing it when I run, its pretty awesome!
While we were at the beach, we did bible study. One night we prayed before bible study, and we prayed that God would let us know that we were in his will and that we were obeying him. Well after that, i opened my bible, and the wind flipped the pages open to this story, and it was in Deutronomy, and it was about obeying God, and everything will work out better than you ever imagined it! I was like holy moly, thats amazing! Its so amazing that God can do things like that, He never ceases to amaze me! He is so awesome!
well I gotta go and eat some lunch, then hopefully, join the VBS crew and start decorating! =D Well have a great day!! see everyone tonight at church!

Bible Verses
Hey Ya'll im extremely bored. Im in 5th period and we have to stay in here for 2 hours. We had our exam today for this class, and i already have finished it now i have a hour and 30 minutes to do nothing. So im really bored. So I'd figure i would tell you some of my favorite bible verses.
FAVORITE BIBLE VERSES:
2 Corinthians 12:9-12
But he said to me, My grace is sufficient, for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties for when I am weak, then I am strong.
Isaiah 40: 28-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.
That verse always helps me before i run a race! =D
