"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."

Jesus Loves You

I realize that all of us, sometime in our life, have gone through something horrific. I've gone through many. But I have something that many don't, I have a shoulder to lean on, I have a Father to hold me through the storms, I have a Best Friend who always knows just what to say. His name is Jesus Christ. Through all the storms in life Jesus is there to hold you and whisper in your ear how much He loves you. You are a beautiful diamond to Him. He sees you as a pearl of great price. How do I know this? Because I've heard him say it to me. If you're going through a hard time right now know this, you can put all your trust and hope in God and He will come through for you. Jesus loves you, and never forget it!!!! See ya!

My life since the last post

Well, lets just say that I've had a lot of changes in my life. Tomorrow is my last day of school and I will be a Senior - yikes! My mom got a job at Bethel and I end up getting a large tuition break when I get to Bethel in a year - Praise the Lord!!!!!!

As I look back on the year one thing I absolutely regret is the fact that I paid to much attention to my studies and not enough attention to being a better friend. I missed out on so many opportunities to bless other people, instead I worked at giving myself a good name - how selfish!

When I turned 17 in April my wish was that this year would be the year that I would grow up more and become an adult. Well, I didn't plan on it like the way it's happening. Since my mom has the job - and she was always a stay-at-home mom before - I now have to do all the dishes, clean the house, take care of the pets (which I should have been doing), do yard stuff and still be a kid. Yikes!! On top of that I'm now making dinner for my folks. I don't see it as being their slave but it is a BIG change. I miss coming home to my mom and seeing her bright and cheery face and letting her play with my hair as I debrief my day. But I'm glad she's doing something she loves.

Well, it's getting late. I should go. See ya!
