So this is Love.

    Today, I went to a wedding. And if anyone knows me they know I absolutely LOVE weddings!! It is really weird for me to say that I have a friend from high school that is married, but I am extremely happy for them! It was a really unique wedding I love everything about it. They did all different things I have never seen before in a wedding. Instead of the wedding march going when she came down the aisle they played "This is Love" from Cinderella. That absolutely just describes her. It was really grand!

  The wedding really felt like a high school reunion, crazy as it sounds it really did. Me and my friend Jessica Driggers walked in and we saw all these people we went to school with. It was really great getting to see everyone that I haven't seen in a really long time! The cake they had was awesome i loved it they were so neat (:  

I wish them many great, awesome years together. I am so happy for the happy couple! Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Justin Fyan!!

It's over...? yes, that's crazy it came to fast. Don't you think so?

How crazy the end of my year has been! I've been so busy i haven't gotten to update! Well,i will catch you up to date! I finished my 20 page paper YAY! Shortly, after that i graduated on May 21, 2011. It was such an wonderful day! i loved every second of it. Even though i cried so much the whole time. Mostly, my tears were happiness, but others were because i knew me and my friends will go our separate ways no matter how hard we try. I love my senior class so much we seemed more like a family then classmates which I am so grateful for. 

If i had to tell someone about my senior year I would probably say it was the most stressful year I have ever had in a really long time. But when I look back at all the great times i had, the laughs and great memories I made with everyone I'm thankful for everyone that was part of my senior year because they made so much greater! (Now, i bet your wondering what I'll be doing for college. Well, i will share that at another entry!) (:

  But my new adventurer that I am going to be taking on is going to Tegucigalpa, Honduras! I will be leaving this coming Friday at 3 am (24th) and will return July 5th! It's going to be an awesome opportunity and I am so thrilled to see what God is going to do for this city!

I didn't think i would be able to make it on this trip because i was so low on money, but My Savior found me a way! He always finds a way and I'm so happy he is my father! Happy Fathers day to our heavenly father and to all the dads everywhere! Dads are such an important role in a child's life and it is so important that we show that we are grateful for what they do! But this is all for now i will share more on my trip and keep all of you guys updated! Please keep me and my team in your prayers while we are there! 

Beautiful, Beautiful

Today in mission trip meeting we were talking about preparing for the trip. I thought to myself I really want to be prepared this time. I don't want to slack off any, or get lazy, or too busy because there is always time for God.I really want God to use me while on this trip. I want to be able to really impact someone's life while I am there. 
So while I was doing my devotions, I ran across a couple of things while reading in John. John 1:6-9 "⁶ There was a man sent from God whose name was John. ⁷ He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. ⁸ He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

 ⁹ The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.

As Christians we are like John. We are here to represent Jesus, to bring more to the Kingdom of Heaven. When we are in the world we are supposed to be separated from the world. But do we really look different from the world? Or do we act the same as others that are of the world. It's really difficult to not do things if the world sometimes because everything is so much fun. 

John 2:23-25 ²³ Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.^[a] 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. ²⁵ He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person." 

What does this mean to you?

Coming to the end of my High School Road. :)

The next couple months for me are going to be crazy.  I'm getting ready for mission trip, and graduating all at the same time. I feel like I'm going in circles all the time. I'm trying to keep everything in order and keep myself from going sane because of all the things I need to do before I graduate. 

This year I am the co-editor of the yearbook so I'm constantly going in circles and bending my brain to think of new ideas. Thank goodness for my co-editor Janie and my teacher Mrs. Morton, I think all of us would go crazy if we didn't have each other. I have also been helping plan Spring Formal this year and we have been doing it in such a short period of time so we running around like crazy people! I've also been writing my 20 page paper, I'm almost done with it thank goodness, but it is still time consuming and I can't do everything else on my list until I get that done because it's the only way I can graduate. 

Some people have asked me if I will miss High School. Honestly, I really don't think i will. I will miss my friends and being able to see them everyday, but I am ready for a new adventure and be able to actually study something I want to study. Don't get me wrong high school is good till a point, but high school isn't rainbows, clouds, and flowers. Sometimes it is literally just stupid because the people that you have to hear complain about every little thing, but that is another bowl of wax. Anyways, I am ready for college and I am really excited to see what God is going to bring on in my life.

Valentine's Day?

     Why does everyone hate Valentines day? Is it because they do not have someone to share it with? Well, it probably is because sometimes i feel the same way. I think everyone is going to feel this way because they want to feel special and loved from another. I think everyone wants something like that. But what I've realized is that we do not always need someone to be happy. We do not need a special person in our life to make our Valentines AWESOME, but we have people here already that can be with us on Valentine's Day and that is our family. Our family will always be here for us especially more than some boy or some girl that we have no idea if they are the "one". So why have a Valentine's Day at all? When we have the best Valentine of all he has all of our hearts and that is JESUS!

Time Flies

     It amazes me every year when gets around this time of the year. The air starts feeling crisp, cool, and you can feel that it is at the turning point of spring. The mornings start getting brighter, and you can hear the birds chirping in the early morning. Another thing that is completely crazy is how fast the school year goes by. Before I know it, it will be time to graduate! It is crazy!
     One thing that gives me joy more than ever is knowing that God spent time thinking of how the world will work, how it will look, smell, the future, the kinds of culture there will all over the world. Every morning that we get up it is another beautiful day, another day for birds chirping, another day for crisp, cool air, and another day for memories, and so much more. 

     Our life is like a book, we have chapters in our life when we don't know exactly what to do in our life, but then we always figure it out. We may have a chapter in our life when we are "in love", but then we realize how stupid we are later. We may have a rebellion chapter. Where we do not do anything that we are told to do, but by the next chapter we grow up and realize what is right Like how books end, chapters in our life may end, but there is always a new beginning in our life. One day our "book" will end and we will be with Jesus and, yet another book will begin.

Jesus has new mercy for me everyday

                              " Amazing love how can it be?"   
  My life this past week has been completely crazy like no joke. I'm so busy working on my thesis, doing homework, doing the yearbook, now planning formal and working that I haven't had time for myself hardly. I feel like I don't have a life and it is really sad considering it is my senior year. Your senior year is supposed to be the greatest year of your high school career, but mine has not been. It's been mostly very stressful. When I get really stressed all I can do is ask God to help me through this period in my life because I know soon my life will be changing for the good and I might not be as stressful. 
     
     Psalm 150: 1-4
"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and his strength ; seek his face always."


Today when doing my daily quiet time with God. I ran across this verse. It really is an awesome verse. I think everyday we should give praise to God not just when we feel good because even when we are having a bad day we can still praise Him and it will make our day better! 
   

   At the end of June I'm going to Honduras! I'm so excited to see what God is going to do there for the people. I will be there for 2 weeks. I will be going with a team from Trinity Chapel. It is going to be an amazing trip I can feel it in my bones. God has so much planned for the people in Honduras! He is going to set people free from their chains of bondage. 

 I know God has so much planned for me after I graduate and start a new life. I don't know where he will lead me, but I do know he will show me what to do and help me through all the tough times in college, work, and etc. A wise person once told me change is good. I never believe it till I looked at my life from the past nine years. I never saw that me moving away from my family to a new place was good till I saw how much I have grown spiritually, mentally and physically. This move was good for me I have made some really awesome friends, I started going to mission trips, I got closer to the Lord also!
