A long overdue update of my exciting life

Hey guys! I'm finally writing you something that might be worth reading. Well all of it won't be worth reading, but who cares? I just finished putting together a Roman Apple Coffe Cake. It's now in the oven with 12 minutes on the clock.

Christmas was very nice. I had a really bad cold though. We had a morning church service at our church, and I had a really hard time paying attention, because all I wanted to do was cough or blow my nose. I got a lot of really nice presents. People keep asking me if I got everying that I wanted on my list, but I don't make a list anymore, haven't for a long time. The highlight of Christmas was that it snowed. It was beautiful too; then it all melted the next day.

Thank you Marcus for giving me some advice on what to get males for Christmas. I got Shamar Third Day's latest CD and he loves it.

It's so hard to believe that 2005 is practically over. This year has had its ups and downs, but I'm where I am right now because of the grace of God. I've made some new friends and have grown closer to some of my Aletheia Springs friend's this year which is so awesome. I'm quite excited to find out what the Lord has in store for me this coming year. He's been teaching me to be satisfied with where I am in life right now; taking one step at a time and living for Him and growing closer to Him through it all.

Emily! I'm sorry to say that that voice you listend to does not belong to me. Have you ever heard of the group Seleh? Well they are so amazing. I was able to hear their testamony and listen to them live a few years ago at Moody Bible Institute, which is in Chicago. I would highly recommend them to you. By the way, do you all like audio posting, or would you rather have me write the song lyrics out?

Well I probably won't update until the new year. So HAPPY NEW YEAR! I LOVE YOU GUYS AND BE SAFE.

~Your friend from the midwest,

I'll update tomorrow (maybe).

Have a Very Merry Christmas

I'm at work right now, and we're as dead as a door nail. I have a cold, which doesn't make things better. The counter's looking quite comfortable for me to lay my head down on.

So on wednesday night I received a message on my phone from some really hiper girls. I almost deleated it, because all I could hear at first was a bunch of screaming and people shouting, "we love you." But last night I found out that it was Alison, Claire, Emily, and Molly. You got to love everyone from Aletheia Springs.

Well I probably need to go.

This is the 100th time that I've posted something

These past few days have been really wonderful.
I ate snow ice cream for the first time in my life; it was really good too. Then two friends of mine, that work at the Marriot, were able to get two rooms for a bunch of us from the college, for an all-nighter. I don't know how they did it, but some of them played monapoly for nine hours. Then after that we went out for breakfast. I some how dropped my plate on my lap. Thank goodness I was almost done eating. I was really blessed by the fact that we had devotions in the restaurant and prayed and no one complained to us.

The Lord humbled me last night. I was at work, and my old supervisor yelled at me because I gave a girl fifty cents to use the pay phone. Oh well. It was my money and I should be able to help someone out if I'm able.

Right now I'm sitting in the school's library about to do some computer math.
So last night I stayed up until 2 in the morning with the college girls I'm staying with. They were studying for their final this morning, so I thought that I would show them some support and stay up with them. Oh the joys of college life. You'll never guess what my dinner consisted of. Frozen bluberry yogurt, chocolate chip cookies, and potato chips. And for my morning meal I ate frozen yogurt and chocolate milk. You never know how good of a cook your mother is, (or how goo of one you are) until you go away for some time.

I just gave my order last night for the senior pictures I want. They turned out pretty decently. Well I need to run. Hopefully I'll be contacting you all before the month is over.

My Final Is Over.............for the semester

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I have just completed my grammar final. I will hopefully never again have to take grammar on a college level for the rest of my life. I'm thinking that I'm probably going to get a B+ from the class. We'll see what happens. Thank you Lord for holding my hand throught this.

Well it's going to be bad news for some of the people from Aletheia Springs. I don't think Im going to be able to follow through with sending everyone a Christmas card like I normally do. I don't think they'll care too much.

Today is my dad's birthday. He's the big 48! Mom's going to take him to the southern part of Indiana for a couple days while I stay here with some friends.

I want to share with you all some stuff the Lord has been teaching me. I've been studying 1 Corinthians chapter 7. It's a chapter about marriange. Well after reading the chapter in a couple of different versions, the Lord has been showing me not to make it my top priority to get married. If I do get married, that's fine, but if I don't, that's even better. Then I was thinking about some of the godly women from the OT and how the Lord brought the women to the man. The Lord some how allowed their paths to cross. I just thought that that was pretty awesome. I'll talk to you guys soon. I love you all.

Hey guys! How have you all been?

Claire! I had no idea you where with blogger.

So my life has been a little busier than normal. I went to IL this past week and it was so cold. To make it worse, our heat in the car wasn't exactly working. Then saturday I worked all day and went to a Christmas dinner for people from work. It was much better than last year. Last year the chicken was pink, and the potatoes were black, and I went home hungry. It could have been worse though so I shouldn't be complaining.
Today, I taught a sunday school class for the first time.

I made a new friend at school the other day. He reminds me of my dad which is kinda scarry, I've never met anyone that quite reminds me of my dad.

And wednesday is my dad's birthday and I haven't gotten him anything yet. Maybe I'll just combine his birthday and Christmas gift.

Sorry that my thoughts are kinda random. Maybe they'll be more organized next time.

Em! just in case you haven't read your comments on your blogger, I would love to read your thoughts on courtship.

Goodnight all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCUS!

Thank you all so very much for praying for me yesterday! The Lord heard your prayers. I slept well the night before, and I was not as nervous. Aletheia Springs songs kept rolling through my head while taking the test (lol). I think I did a little better than the last time. Mom wants me to take it again in January so I can attain the best possible score.

So after I got home yesterday, I cleaned the house until about midnight, because the singles group came over this afternoon for their Christmas get-t0gether Then I found out that dad had to be at church for a meeting by 7:30 a.m. this morning. So after the little party, mom, dad, and I had to clean up everything. It's been a long day and I wish tomorrow was not monday. I'll survive by God's grace. He's always faithful. I'm praying for you all! TTYL!
