I'm on my way to Kentucky!

I can't say much because I am about to leave. But I am on my way to going to Kentucky. Please pray for me that I will be able to bring souls for Christ. I look forward to seeing you all at the wedding!

It's busy around here!

So it has been busy at home right now.

1.We are working on getting wedding rehearsal dinner arrangements made, and that is coming together. I can't wait till August!
2.I am leaving for kentucky in a week. So I have to start packing soon, and I have been shopping to get everything I need. I bought a new iron, and alarm clock Sunday and other things.
3. Sadly, I lost my Auntie Rosie in Austin, Texas. She is my Aunt Mary's sister-in-law. So we are flying out friday for the memorial service which will be held on Sunday. I will be great to be with Aunt Mary again.
4. OPERATION GLOBAL RAIN starts today. So pray earnestly! We are going to Highland church this evening to meet with church members to pray. Aaron told me that it was started by some pastors in Southern California, and Ivor Myers.
5. Meanwhile, I am here at work and both of my bosses are gone. But a couple of staff members are in the building.We are caught up on all of the work we can do. So I am busy at home, but not so at work. This afternoon after lunch I m going to bring things to read, and do!

That is my five points for the day. Have a nice rest of your Wednesday!

Happy Sabbath!

Happy Sabbath! To everyone, I haven't updated in a while, bu I thought I would share a picture with you. This was my 8th grade graduation, already 3 years ago! This was a very happy night, and I really like this picture. I appreciated that Norman made a effort in his busy schedule to come all the way from Calif. to it.I wish Stephen could of been there, he's the only one missing in the pic. Next time, I will have a pic with him.

So it is only 2 weeks away from Asi Youth for Jesus! I am very excited! We had a nice week here, and Aaron is preaching tomorrow in Hopkinsville so he has been getting ready all week. I know the Lord will bless him, because he has spent a lot of time studying.Oh and no I haven't forgotten about the wedding. I am definately in the wedding spirit. We got this wedding music book this week, and I am singing beautiful music out of it. When Stephen comes up ( He likes to play the piano, and I sing) we will play out of it. There are songs like "Cherish the Treasure", and" Household of Faith", and " I will be Here", and traditional classical pieces for the pianist .I hope that you have a blessed weekend!

2 months from now

Hey everyone! Guess what! 2 months from today will be Norman and Joelle's wedding. Can you believe it! Well, we are getting more excited around here about it. Mom and I talk about it a lot. So I am only here at home one more month, or less, 3 weeks to be right. I have never been gone from home a month. But a month goes by pretty fast. I am excited about doing it. So we had a good weekend. On Sabbath we had a different speaker than Pastor Miller. We had Pastor Sharpe come. He was good. On Sunday I played in a piano recital in Gallatin, with Uncle Alber't students. Then, we went down to Rivergate Mall. Mom was talking with Mrs. Damsteegt Friday. She said a lot of the summer dresses were getting sold out, because of sales. And that new dresses were not coming in any more. So we decided we better head down there soon to buy Mom's dress for the wedding. First, we went to Jcpenney, Sears. They had some they were either too flashy, or low cut, or not modest. Finally, we went to Dillard's and my eye caught a dress it was just right. Mom liked it too, tried it on. And then we went to Macy's to sure there wasn't anything she liked better. Then we bought it! Now Mom has her dress. I know I'm a girl, a lot of you wouldn't of put in so much detail. There was only one dress in the whole mall that worked out for Mom, and we are thankful for that. Plus, I am a little bored at work. Our ems accounting program is not working right this morning, and I can't do anything but surf on the internet. And for that matter post new blog entry. If I was at home I would upload pictures. Maybe I will do that later this week. I hope all of you are having a good summer, and feel free to comment on just whatever is on your mind...

Inspiring Campmeeting

Well, no one guessed what I was going to say. But it would of been kind of hard.So here it goes. I thought I was going to meet David Assherick this sabbath at the Walwyn's house( church friends) who invited him to stay at their house the whole week he was here. They invited us for lunch, and I got under the impression that he and his family would be there. Since his last meeting was last night, he obviously left today. So last night he had a good last sermon. Mom and I sat in the front, and were blessed. I decided I wanted to go back and meet him. There was a lot of people that talked with him and I was one of the last. He is very friendly and outing . I think we as Christians should be like that. So it was really neat to meet him, because he made a good influence and impact on me this week. In our Christian walk we sometimes get sidetracked or lose signt of what we should be focusing on. He really preached with fire in his heart that we need to not be of this world and, work on our character and bringing converts in the church for Christ soon return. I feel inspired to put into use what he preached this week. I miss hearing his sermons, and I am going to buy them. He preached 5 sermons. Which is the most I have heard him preach, but it went by so fast! As a side note I told him I was Norman's sister, and he was interested in that. He is happy about Norman and Joelle are getting married. I hope I didn't bore you, but maybe I encouraged you that this world is not our home and we really need to set our eyes on the true goal . Again, bring converts into the church, and work on our character. Have a blessed Sabbath!

Campmeeting continued

So my blog is turning into a daily blog. If you are bored and you don't have anything to do, on the web. During the summer I probably will be writing everyday, because I don't have much to do. Except in July, I will be gone for a month! That will be a good experience for me. Yesterday we went to Dr. Hans Diehl seminar it was excellant. He talked about how vegetables, fruits,grains, and nuts can cleanse your system from bad things. However a lot of people eat fast food, and junk food and they have a higher percentage of getting a stroke or heart attack. In our family that shouldn't be a big problem, because we are already on a vegan vegetarian diet. Still we can always make improvements in our diet. Last night's meeting with David Assherick was packed. I think that people were telling others about how good his sermon was Sunday night and inspiring. Campmeeting has been at it's best this year like gyc was in Baltimore. They have really chosen good speakers. There was a lot more young people there last night. Guess what? I'm not going to tell you till tomorrow. You can guess and post a comment what you think I am going to tell you all! It's Tuesday!

Sunday's meeting

Last night's meeting was powerful. David Assherick gave his first sermon last night, and I will be honest and say it was the best sermon I ever heard him give. He talked about sin in our lives, and how with Jesus help we can overcome and get up again and grow stronger each day. I came home tremendulously blessed, and I am looking forward to tonight's meeting. I could really feel the Holy Spirit there. Today is Memorial Day, and I had to go to work anyways because of campmeeting going on. People need to use the ad bldg. for seminars and the office for supplies and copies. Since we didn't get any mail today, it has been slow and a little boring. So here I am in the business office, surfing the web. Happy Memorial Day!

Campmeeting

Here we are at campmeeting again. We have some really good speakers this year. Tonight is going to be David Assherick's first sermon. We had Roscoe Howard this past weekend, and Dr. Hans Diehl and Dr. Michael Hasel are going to be seminar speakers throughout the rest of the week. The spirit this year at campmeeting is good. I can tell that the people that have come are in for a blessing.Today was the annual big book sale. We bought David Gates new book. I am looking forward to reading that. Aaron and I got lunch at the Snack shop. Suprisingly, I've been a little bored this afternoon. I usually am never bored. I read a little, and Aaron is counting money from campmeeting meals right now. I hope everyone's summer is going good so far, let me know what your plans are. In month I will be gone to kentucky I am excited about that.

Graduation

Yesterday was a really happy day for me, yet it was sad. We saw the Seniors graduate and now I am a Senior!! The service was really nice, and at the end a tradition is the juniors hold gladiolas in the air in the form of the arch when the Seniors graduate. Herb Montgomery was the speaker and gave a good short talk. When it was all over , I had fun taking pictures with juniors and seniors and talking with people. At the end of the day we went to Rosemary Day's and Bob Wint Jr. Wedding. It was in White House. Mom and I really enjoyed it, it was a nice country wedding, not real formal. Not that I don't like formal weddings, but this was a nice country one. I knew Roesmary a little from when I used to go to camp. And we knew both families. It is really nice to be out of school, and enjoy the hot weather. Today I don't have to go to work, but tomorrow I do. I hope you all had a nice weekend too.

Friday

Here I am at Highland Academy's g dorm computer lab, I was kind of bored surfing on the internet. So I figured that I would do another post on here. Today is Friday. I work in the business office, and right now it is very stressful doing paper and money work with everyone leaving. And I help them pay their bills, so we are behind doing that because it has been super busy! I am sad that some of the seniors are leaving. It is hard to believe that next year I won't have any class to look up at. It will just be us. So we had our class party last night. We went to the Carney's house and some of the class swam in their really nice pool. It was in the 60's yesterday. So a lot of us didn't go , including me. Our class sponsors are Randy Bishop, and Nikie Watkins. So Mr. Bishop didn't bring his bathing suit, and they had his chair very close to the edge of the pool and almost managed to push him in. He held his ground, and held tight. That would of been hilarious. We already laughing as it was. Tonight I get to walk down with the Juniors, a tradition at the Seniors graduation. The girls get to wear white dresses so I am excited about what I am wearing. Hey, next year it will be me. How exciting!!! Have a nice weekend, and Sabbath!

Summer here I come

Wow, it has been a really long time since I have posted a blog here. I am sorry about that, and I will do better on updating my blog more often. Now that I will be out of school. Tomorrow will be my last day of school, and I am really happy about that. I've managed to get through my junior year!!!And no more chemistry. Tomorrow will be my geometry and bible exams. By the time you read this I probably will be out of school. So it is getting closer to campmeeting, youth for Jesus, and the wedding. Campmeeting this year is going to be awesome. We are going to have David Assherick as our main speaker, Dr. Michael Hasel, and Dr. Hans Diehl. Unfortunately because of work I won't be able to hear Dr. Hasel or Dr. Hans Diehl. Then in June, I will be working in the business office and training in Roy Drusky to do my job there when I am gone in July. In July I am going to ASI Youth for Jesus, and I am really excited about that. I want to get out of the office, out of my comfort zone, and bring in more souls for Christ. And it was three months Norman and Joelle got engaged but now only three months till they get married! Their new wedding website looks really good. So that is what is going on in my life in general.

Ranger

So the recent news is we have a new dog. We haven't had one in ten years because, the dogs we had ran away from us. I am confident this one won't. We have named him Ranger. He is friendly, wants a lot of attention. It hasn't been perfect having him. He bit my favorite church shoes, and likes to chew stuff, if he is outside at night he barks loud. I haven't been the most enthusiastic about having him, but he is a nice pet to have and we will see how it goes. Aaron and him get along well. Yesterday, Aaron left for Orlando, Florida for trust services meetings for three weeks. Meanwhile, I only have 4 weeks left of school! I have to put together a cyclohexane model for a chemistry project today. I will use cottonballs for the carbon, and marbles for the hydrogen. I am really excited about this summer. The first part, I will be working in the business office. In July, I will be going up to Louisville, Ky to do ASI Youth for Jesus. I am interested in giving bible studies and helping conduct an evangelistic series. Then, Mom will come up for the ASI convention. A week later will be Norman and Joelle's wedding. This summer will fly. I will try to update my blog more.

Evangelism

One of the most important ways in spreading our gospel to the world, is through evangelism. My church is putting on a evangelistic series right now. It has been conducted by the ladies of our church. Each weekend someone has had a different topic. We have had a couple of non members come, and perhaps the blessings I have received is being a speaker. Tonight I gave a talk on "What happened to Right and Wrong", I talked about the importance of keeping all of God's ten commandments. It was a good experience in public speaking and I wouldn't mind doing it again. Another good outcome of having our meetings was, there was a couple that are members but hadn't been attending church in a while. Since our meetings started they started coming back, and the wife came tonight. I could feel the Holy Spirit there. Next weekend is our last weekend of meetings. May God bless you in this week.

P.S. The weather has been great here, I'm loving the warm weather.

Break

It is really nice to be on break. It is relaxing, and not stressed about classes. I am going to do organizing projects around the house, and catch up on my sleep. Norman and Joelle have got a lot of comments on their blogs about the wedding. Our family back here in tennessee is very excited. The wedding will be 8 days before I turn 18. Our other news is that my grandpa has been very sick, and is doing a lot better than he was when he was in the hospital. He sleeps a lot but can communicate with us. Last sabbath, the Hankins came up. Rachael played the guitar for him, and we both sang. I always enjoy singing on the Sabbath. The march winds have been violent here. Nothing seriously bad happened. Further south of us there have been bad tornadoes. A year ago Mom, Uncle Albert, and I were in Loma,Linda Calif. That was a happy memory. It doesn't seem that long ago. The asst girl's dean at my academy said she was going out there for this break, which makes me want to visit again. I'm sure we will again sometime. Enjoy the march winds, and the warmer weather soon coming.

Engagement

So if you haven't heard , which I doubt, Norman and Joelle are engaged! I am excited for them and I know the Lord will bless their marriage. Tim has a really good video of them after the proposal on his blog. I am excited about the wedding in August. Supposedly, it will probably be held in Michigan. Which is neat, because my dad was born there. Whenever I go there it reminds me of Dad. Joelle seems really happy, she wrote me an e-mail. And I talked to Norman last night on the phone, and he has been waiting to do this for a while. My junior year is getting tougher and harder. Chemistry takes time, and all of my other subjects. Happy President's Day! And Congrats to Norman and Joelle.

Safe traveling

Another week has come and gone, since I last posted. It seems like a long time. I had a nice time on music tour. We went to Daytona Beach in Florida. I enjoyed running my feet through the sand and watching the endless ocean's waters. Some people went swimming, but it was too cold for me. We went to Orlando, Florida as well. It was perfect weather there, not too hot but just a little chilly. It reminded my of Calif, which makes me want to visit again. Praise the Lord the tornadoes hit Orlando a day after we left. God was protecting our group and I am thankful for that. I do feel bad for the destruction there. We went to Atlanta on the last part of the trip and did a music concert, and went to underground Atlanta and ate. We also got to tour CNN'S headquarters which was really neat. We saw all of the writers working on news coming in, and the reporters from their backs. When we first got there, they were talking on the news about the tornadoes in Florida right after we left. The last leg of the trip we went to Jasper, Tn church and did a program for the members there. I know that they were blessed by our music. We went to the aquarium in Chattanooga, and to end our trip ate out at a mexican restaurant in Hamilton mall area. I am definately glad to be back with my family here at home. It is nice to relax and take it easy on a Sunday morning. Here's a picture of the capitol.

Jr History Trip

When, I got my pictures developed from jr history trip I couldn't get it to work on the internet. Now I will be able to share with you a couple of pictures at a time. Since it takes a while to upload them. This first picture shows the beautiful fall colors we saw on the trip. In Virginia and Pennsylvania the scenery was amazing.
The picture below is my friends Kendra, Briana, and I. This trip was good time to spend with friends. We were waiting outside the capitol. Look forward to next time to more pictures. This upcoming week I am going on music tour to Georgia, and Florida. I think we will have a good time. Although I don't think it will top off jr history trip with all the places and historical information we learned. Have a good week and God bless.

Happy New Year!

I can't believe that we are in the year of 2007. It doesn't sound right. A year from now is my graduation year. Christmas break was awesome. Norman came home and we had a great time with him and Stephen, Aaron. It was good to catch up, and on Christmas Eve we had our traditional fruit soup my mom makes. It is so yummy. The day after Christmas we went to GYC in Baltimore. I gained such a blessing from the meetings my favorite ones were Peter Gregory, David Assherick, and Jeremy Rosario. It was a struggle for my brothers to get me out of bed before the seven o'clock meeting in the morning. I am not a morning person.On the way up we saw Hartland, and walked a little in Washington, D.C. On the way back Mom, Aaron, and I were able to get inside the capitol and see Former President Gerald Ford's casket in the Rotunda. It was a honor and well worth it to see. Then on New Year's day we went to the Natural Bridge in Virginia and headed back home. I was glad to see you all at Gyc and I hope you have a Happy New Year!

Christmas

It has been great being on Christmas break. I got out of my finals on Wednesday. Then, thursday Norman flew in and it has been great having him here. Today we have been talking all day, and I haven't seen him since March so this is nice. The weekend here will be relaxing. Grandma has moved back to the nursing home which has been and a change, and quite busy here. This Christmas will be great with all my brothers home, and I am looking forward to general youth conference and seeing everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving break has been really nice. I've been catching up on my sleep. I haven't really had a break since September, because I was on Jr. History Trip in October. It has been nice having Aaron home. We've been eating a lot of good food such as pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. Today is my last day of break. I am going to put up the christmas tree. Next weekend we will probably put up all of the decorations. I have a lot of work to do in school before Christmas break. Two weeks from today I will be taking the ACT test. I'm looking forward to Christmas break because Norman will be coming home and I haven't seen him in a while, and it is a good time to spend with family. We are planning on going to GYC again this year. Afterwards we will go the Washington D.C. again and see the monuments that will be fun! I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and maybe I will see you at GYC!
